Abstract

L'invention concerne un disjoncteur de faible coût doté d'un nombre réduit de points de réglage. Un mécanisme de commutation (6) comprend une barre mobile (30) munie d'un contact mobile (32), et un bras de soutien et un élément formant cliquet (50) montés rotatifs sur un deuxième axe de rotation. Le bras de soutien comprend un premier axe de rotation et tourne librement autour du deuxième axe de rotation (9) entre une position de marche dans laquelle la barre mobile conserve un état tel que le contact mobile (32) se ferme sur un contact fixe (5), et une position d'arrêt dans laquelle la barre mobile conserve un état tel que le contact mobile est séparé du contact fixe. L'élément formant cliquet (50) tourne librement autour du deuxième axe de rotation entre une position d'enclenchement dans laquelle le bras de soutien est maintenu dans la position de marche, et une position de déclenchement permettant le mouvement vers la position d'arrêt. Un élément formant ressort associé à la barre mobile (30) produit une force de sollicitation provoquant la rotation de la barre mobile (30) autour du premier axe de rotation de manière à fermer le contact mobile (32) sur le contact fixe (5) lorsque le bras de soutien occupe la position de marche, et produit une force de sollicitation provoquant la rotation du bras de soutien autour du deuxième axe de rotation de manière à le faire passer de la position de marche à la position d'arrêt lorsque l'élément formant cliquet (50) occupe la position de déclenchement.
