Description

Identification element of the actuating member of an electrical apparatus, detection device comprising said identification element and detection and monitoring method implementing said device

The present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment for the residential and tertiary field applicable to electrical appliances, modular protection devices type.

The present invention relates to an identification element of an actuating member, in particular a handle of an electrical apparatus such as a circuit-breaker, a device for detecting the position of the actuating member, a receiving element of the identification element, a door for an electrical cabinet, as well as an electrical cabinet, and a method for detecting and monitoring the position of the actuating member.

According to the standards currently in force and in particular the French standard, NF C 15-100, users in domestic or similar installations must have an electrical cabinet including an electrical panel equipped with a certain number of electrical appliances intended to the protection of the installation and persons, such as differential devices or circuit breakers, the number being dependent on the size and equipment of the installation. To check the status of the home installation, the user can visually check the position of the joystick, in order to identify the existence of a fault in the installation. The joysticks also make it possible to interact with the various electrical devices to open or close the electrical circuits. However, a visual check is only possible when the user is in the immediate vicinity of the electrical cabinet. Solutions that will be listed above have been developed in the past to warn the user, while he is away from home and the home is unoccupied, making the electrical panel connected and communicating.

As such, it is already known from the publication FR 2 893 745 A1, a device for detecting the position of the lever of a circuit breaker that monitors the position of the joystick, the lever can generally adopt two positions predetermined, a first position in which the circuit of the electrical apparatus is closed and a second position in which circuit of the electrical apparatus is open. For this purpose, an electromagnetic wave receiving element is integral with the handle and an antenna for emitting electromagnetic waves is arranged so that an electromagnetic coupling is established between the antenna and the receiving element. depending on the position of the joystick. When an electromagnetic coupling is established, it is possible for the receiver element, which also has a transponder function, to send to the antenna a control signal enabling identification of the electrical appliance with which the controller is associated. . This document also discloses a device for detecting the position of the joystick, in which this time, the electromagnetic wave receiving element is disposed on the electrical apparatus and mobile coupling means are used to mechanically couple the joystick and the receiving element. Thus, when the joystick changes position, the coupling means are set in motion and causes the movement of the receiving means and the establishment of an electromagnetic coupling between the antenna and the receiving element. However, such devices have the disadvantage of being complex, cumbersome and requiring the complete replacement of the existing electrical apparatus or requiring a laborious installation that can only be performed by a professional and specialized installer. This results in high manufacturing and installation costs.

The publication FR 2 901 426 A1 also describes a device for detecting the position of the handle of a circuit breaker. An electromagnetic wave receiving element is integral with the circuit breaker housing, while an antenna is disposed in the electrical panel and emits electromagnetic waves permanently. A microswitch controls the receiver element. More particularly, the handle comprises a magnet which controls the state of opening and closing of the microswitch. Thus, when the lever changes position the microswitch is influenced by the magnet, and as a result, the receiver element and the antenna are electromagnetically coupled. This type of device has the same disadvantages already mentioned above. In addition, the use of a magnet decreases its reliability. Finally, this detection device is permanently coupled to the electrical device, and in case of failure, it must be replaced in its entirety.

The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages. The object of the present invention is to propose an identification element of an actuating member of an electrical apparatus, a device for detecting the position of an actuating member of an electrical apparatus, an element for receiving the identification element, an electrical cabinet door and an electrical cabinet implementing the device, and a detection and monitoring method implementing the device that does not require modification of the actuating member of the electrical apparatus, and / or the electrical apparatus itself, which is easy to install even without tools and quick to implement by a user, such as an individual, even on a pre-existing electrical appliance that is relatively inexpensive, which is adaptable to most electrical appliances and / or existing electrical cabinets, which improves the detection of the position of the actuator.

FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 7b to 7e, 8, 12b, 12c, 13b, 13c, 14b, 14c, 15b, 15c illustrate an identification element 10 of an actuator 21 of an electrical appliance 20, the actuating member 21 being movable between at least a first predetermined position PI and a second predetermined position P2, according to five preferred embodiments.

According to the invention and as shown more precisely in FIG. 1 in association with FIGS. 7b to 7e, and FIGS. 8, 12b, 12c, 13b, 13c, 14b, 14c, 15b, 15c, this identification element 10 is characterized in that it comprises a support member 11, comprising means arranged to rest in equilibrium with the actuating member 21 at least in the first position PI and arranged to be separated from said actuating member 21 automatically during the movement of said actuating member from the first position PI to the second position P2.

Advantageously, these means make it possible to detect when the actuating member 21 passes from the first position PI to the second position P2 as a function of the presence or absence of the identification element 10 on the body of Actuation 21. In fact, in the first position PI, the identification element 10 rests on the actuating member 21, while in the second position P2, the identification element 10 is absent from the organ actuating 21.

These means may comprise coupling means 12 arranged to be mechanically coupled to a coupling site 23 complementary to said actuating member 21 at least in the first position PI and arranged to be decoupled from said coupling site 23 of said actuating member 21 automatically during the movement of said actuating member from the first position PI to the second position P2.

These particular provisions of the identification element 10 selectively allow, on the one hand, a mechanical coupling with the body actuating device 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 in a first position PI and decoupling from the actuating member 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 as it moves from the first position PI to the second position P2 . It is thus possible to detect the passage of the actuating member 21 from the first position PI to the second position P2. The coupling means 12 can be easily coupled to the actuating member 21 by simple mechanical coupling. The decoupling is performed automatically when the first position PI moves to the second position P2, that is to say without any human intervention.

Alternatively, these means may comprise a bearing zone 12 arranged to rest on a support surface 25 of said actuating member 21 and arranged to be separated from the support surface 25 of said actuating member 21 automatically during the moving said actuating member from the first position PI to the second position P2.

According to the second alternative, these particular provisions of the identification element 10 selectively allow, on the one hand, the identification element 10 to rest in equilibrium on the actuating member 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 in a first position PI and being separated from the actuating member 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 as it moves from the first position PI to the second position P2. It is thus possible to detect when the actuating member 21 passes from the first position PI to the second position P2.

Advantageously, it follows that the identification element

10 is removable from the actuating member 21, that is to say, the identification element 10 is detached from the actuating member 21, and is therefore easy to install, for example on a pre-existing electrical apparatus 20, and possibly, to replace in case of failure, without requiring the complete replacement of the electrical apparatus 20 to which it is assigned. The installation can easily be done by a user, such as an individual. In addition, it can be assigned to another electrical device 20 indifferently, because the coupling means 12 or the support zone 12 adapt to the coupling site 23 or to the support surface 25 of the actuating member. 21, which makes the different identification elements 10 interchangeable. Finally, the coupling and the decoupling or the association and the separation are reversible, so the identification element 10 can be reused after decoupling or separation to be again coupled or associated with an actuator 21, a number of times.

According to one possibility, the actuating member 21 is movable between at least the first position PI in which a circuit of the electrical apparatus 20 is closed and the second position P2 in which the circuit of the electrical apparatus 20 is open, and the coupling means 12 are arranged to be reversibly hooked to said coupling site 23 of said actuating member 21 and unhooked from said coupling site 23 under the effect of gravity, when the actuating member arrives in close proximity from the second position P2.

The first position PI of the actuating member 21, preferably materializes a situation in which the circuit (not shown) of the electrical apparatus 20 is closed, and therefore in which the equipment (not shown) to which it is connected does not present a fault. The second position P2 of the actuating member 21 materializes, preferably, a situation in which the circuit (not shown) of the electrical apparatus 20 is open, and therefore in which the equipment (not shown) to which it is connected has a fault. In general, but in a nonlimiting manner, the actuating member 21 is rotatable between the first and second positions P1 and P2. By way of example, the first position PI corresponds to a high position, as illustrated in FIGS. 7a, 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a relative to the second position P2 which corresponds to a low position, as illustrated in FIG. , 12c, 13c, 14c, 15c. As a result, in this configuration, the passage from the first position PI to the second position P2 corresponds to a rotational movement, or tilting, of the actuating member from top to bottom, or in a substantially vertical plane, as illustrated in FIGS. 7a to 7e, 12a to 15c.

According to another possibility, and as illustrated in FIG. 8, the actuator 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 may be rotatable between the first and second positions P1 and P2 in a horizontal plane. This may for example be the case when the longitudinal axis of the electrical apparatus 20 is disposed in an electrical cabinet 60 in a substantially horizontal plane. By way of example, the first position PI corresponds to a left position, as shown in FIG. 8, relative to the second position P2 which corresponds to a straight position, or vice versa. As a result, in this configuration, the passage of the first position PI to the second position P2 corresponds to a rotational movement of the actuating member 21 from left to right, as illustrated in Figure 8 or vice versa.

In FIGS. 3, 7b to 7c, 8, 12b, 13b, and 14b, the coupling means 12 are advantageously coupled to the actuating member 21 by simply hooking, which further facilitates installation, but also automatic decoupling. , since indeed the simple passage of the actuating member 21 of the first position PI to the second position P2 is sufficient to unhook or disconnect the coupling means 12 of the coupling site 23. Indeed, the contact surface between the coupling means 12 and the coupling site 23 decrease as the first position PI moves to the second position P2, as can be seen in FIGS. 7a to 7e, 12a to 12c, 13a to 13c, 14a at 14c, because the actuator is subjected to gravity. It follows that near the second position P2, the contact surface is no longer sufficient to maintain a coupling between the coupling means 12 and the coupling site 21, which causes the decoupling of the element. identification 10 with the actuator 21.

Preferably, and as is particularly illustrated in FIG. 1, the coupling means 12 have substantially the shape of a hook of substantially C-shaped section comprising a base 120 extended by two branches 121, 122 substantially parallel to each other.

Advantageously, according to the first embodiment of the identification element 10, this hook shape makes it possible to follow the shape of the coupling site 23 of the actuating member 21 which has a complementary shape, as shown in particular Figure 3. The hook may further slightly pinch the actuating member 21 to be coupled thereto.

FIG. 1 also illustrates that the coupling means 13, in the shape of a hook, are surmounted by a head 17.

Of course, this form of hook of the coupling means 12 is not limiting, and other equivalent forms of hooks may be envisaged which are complementary to the shape of the actuating member 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 and are used to hook the identification element 10 to the actuating member 21 at the coupling site 23, when the actuating member 21 is in the first PI position, as illustrated in Figures 12b, 13b and 14b respectively showing the second, third and fourth embodiments of the identification element 10.

According to a fifth embodiment of the identification element 10, the coupling means 12 in the form of a hook could be replaced, as shown in FIG. 15b, by a bearing zone 12 of the identification element 10. whose dimension is substantially identical to the upper face 25 of the actuating member

21 forming the resting surface and which allows the identification element 10 to simply rest in equilibrium on the upper face 25 of the actuating member 21, when the actuating member 21 is in the first position PI as shown in Figure 15b. In this example, the identification element 10 adopts a triangular-based polyhedral shape and the bearing zone is a surface. According to a variant not shown, the identification element can take the form of a tablet, which can adopt a flat or cylindrical shape. In the latter case, the support zone consists of a straight line. According to another example not shown, the support zone may be a point.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, 3 and 7c, the mobile identification element 10 may also comprise support means 13 arranged to bear against a housing 22 of the electrical apparatus 20 to cause the decoupling said identification element 10 of the actuating member 21, when the actuating member 21 arrives near the second position P2.

Advantageously, the support means 13 contribute to facilitating the decoupling of the identification element 10 from the actuating member 21. Indeed, such support means 13 bear against the housing

22 of the electrical apparatus 20, when the actuating member is close to the second position P2 (Figure 7c) which generates an ejection force to add to the force of gravity (Figure 7d and 7e) .

These support means 13 also prevent the identification element 10 from being coupled to the actuating member 21 while the latter is in the second position P2.

The bearing means 13 may, for example, be in the form of a lug comprising a first end 131 and a second end 132 which can be free, as shown in FIG. 13 is connected to the end of the second branch 122 coupling means 12 by its first end 131 as shown in Figure 1.

These bearing means 13 are particularly important when the actuating member 21 describes a rotational movement in a substantially horizontal plane, as illustrated in FIG. 8. In this case, the coupling means 12 necessarily comprise such support means 13, the disengagement of the coupling means 12 of the actuating member 21 then being effected by ejection when the support means 13 bear against the housing 22. In this case also, it is necessary that the coupling means 12 of the hook-shaped identification element 10 lightly pinch the actuating member 21 so as to keep the identification element 10 in equilibrium with the actuating member 21 of the electrical appliance 20.

The identification element 10 may comprise a breakable portion 14.

This breakable portion 14 has the advantage of being removable from the mobile identification element 10.

Preferably, the breakable portion 14 is disposed at the second end 132 of the lug-shaped support means 13. For this purpose, a rupture zone (not shown) may be present between the second end 132 and the breakable portion 14 to facilitate the removal of the breakable portion 14. This rupture zone is preferably a material thinning or a fine hole dotted type.

According to one possibility, the identification element 10 may comprise marking means 15 preferably arranged at the level of the base 120 or on the breakable portion 14, to identify the electrical apparatus 20 to the actuating member 21 of which it is coupled.

It is thus possible to associate an identification element 10 with an electrical apparatus 20 so as to identify the association when the identification element 10 is decoupled from the electrical apparatus 20 to which it was previously assigned.

When the marking means 15 are arranged on the breakable portion 14, the breakable portion 14 is intended to be preferably disposed in a label holder 26 of an electrical apparatus 20 which is arranged on a visible wall of the housing 22 to the state mounted in the electrical cabinet 60. Preferably, the marking means 15 at the base 120 and the breakable portion 14 are identical. To position the breakable portion 14 in the label holder 26, then simply detach it.

The marking means 15 may be a self-adhesive sticker comprising a symbol (not shown) representing an equipment or a symbol (not shown) printed directly on the identification element 10. When the marking means 15 consist of a self-adhesive sticker it can be supplied with the identification element 10, and the association can be made at the factory or by the end user, or alternatively the sticker can be glued to the identification element 10 during its manufacture.

According to another possibility, the marking means 15 may consist of a color, thus making it possible to signal the level of criticality. In this case, the identification element 10 is colored either in the mass or superficially.

The support part 11 consists essentially of a material that can be chosen from polymers, such as a plastics material, such as a polyamide, for example polycaprolactam, commonly called PA6 or a plastic material similar to that constituting the actuating member 21. The identification element 10 may also have different weights. This makes it possible to distinguish several identification elements having different weights from their weight by means of a weight sensor as described below.

To facilitate its identification and detection in case of decoupling or separation of the actuating member 21, and therefore when a fault is detected by the electrical apparatus 20, the identification element 10 may comprise an element 16. emitter of electromagnetic waves.

The transmitter element 16 preferably consists of a near-field communication element, preferably an RFID or NFC tag including a chip and an antenna.

Advantageously, such a transmitter element 16 can be detected by a receiver element 41, comprising an NFC antenna.

According to a sixth embodiment of the identification element 10, illustrated in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the identification element 10 comprises a support zone 12 which allows the identification element 10 to simply rest in position. balance on the upper face 25 of the actuating member 21, when the actuating member 21 is in the first position PI, as shown in Figure 17A. In this example, the identification element 10 has a planar shape of substantially rectangular contour, the support zone 12 corresponds to a lower lateral edge of the identification element 10. In addition, the identification element 10 is associated with a holding support 80, preferably disposed above the electrical apparatus 20 and fixed in a space between the plastron 67 of the electrical cabinet 60 and the electrical apparatus 20. This holding support 80 comprises an elongate piece 81 provided with cooperation means 82 provided to cooperate with complementary cooperation means 18 of the identification element 10. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 17A and 17B, these cooperation means 82 of the elongate piece 81 take the form of a plurality of orifices, while the cooperation means 18 of the identification element 10 take the form of a protuberance projecting from the upper lateral edge 12 'opp dared to the aforementioned lower lateral edge. These complementary cooperation means 18, 82 enable, by interlocking, to maintain in position, preferably vertically, the identification element 10, when the actuating member 21 is in the first position P1. The identification element 10 is substantially parallel to an apparent upper face 27 of the housing 22 of the electrical appliance 20 opposite the label holder 26, in the first position PI of the actuating member 21. When the actuating member 21 is in the second position P2, complementary cooperation means 18, 82 do not cooperate with each other, as shown in Figure 17B, since their nesting stops as soon as the identification element 10 is no longer retained by the organ of actuation 21.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the invention also relates to an electrical apparatus 20 comprising an actuator 21 movable, preferably in rotation, between at least a first predetermined position PI and a second position P2 predetermined, and comprising a site of coupling 23.

According to the invention, the electrical apparatus 20 and the identification element 10 are coupled, as described above, by means arranged to rest in equilibrium with the actuating member 21 at least in the first position PI and arranged to be separated from said actuating member 21 automatically during the moving said actuating member from the first position PI to the second position P2.

Advantageously, the combination of an electrical apparatus 20 with an identification element 10 makes it possible to provide the end user with an electrical appliance 20 ready for use, which can be inserted directly into the detection device 1 such that he will be described.

FIG. 4a illustrates a device 1 for detecting the position of an actuating member 21 of an electrical apparatus 20, said actuating member 21 being movable between at least a first predetermined position PI and a second position P2 predetermined.

According to the invention, this detection device 1 is characterized in that it comprises at least one identification element 10 in the form of a separate piece and separated from said electrical apparatus 20 and attached to the body of the body. actuation 20, as well as means 40 for detecting the presence of said identification element 10, adapted and intended to detect the presence of said identification element 10 in a detection zone Z after its decoupling or separation from the actuating member 21 and identifying it.

Advantageously, the fact of providing one or more identification elements 10 which are distinct and separate parts of the electrical apparatuses to which they are respectively associated makes it possible to adapt the detection device 1 to the existing electrical apparatuses. It is thus not necessary to replace them when it is desired to set up a detection device 1 at the electrical installation. In addition, the detection means 40 advantageously make it possible to detect the presence of one or more identification elements 10 only after decoupling or separation from their respective actuating members 21. As a result, the reliability of the detection is improved, because for the detection to be effective, it is necessary for the identification element 10 to be physically dissociated from the actuator 21.

As shown in FIGS. 4a to 5, and 8 to 11b, this device 1 may comprise a receiving element 30 adapted and intended, on the one hand, to receive said identification element 10, and on the other hand, which delimits at less partly the Z detection zone.

Advantageously, this reception element 30 makes it possible to physically group the identification elements 10 that have been decoupled or separated from their actuator 21, following the signaling of a fault by the electrical apparatus 20 of the actuating member 21 of which the identification element 10 was affected.

Since the receiving element 30 delimits at least part of the detection zone Z, it is possible to detect the presence of one or more identification elements 10 which have been decoupled or separated from the actuating member. 21 and received in the receiving element 30.

Preferably, the receiving member 30 is adapted and intended to be located below the electrical apparatus 20 and arranged to receive the identification element 10 after its decoupling or separation from the body of the device. actuation 21, as particularly illustrated in Figures 4a, 4b, 8, 9, 10a, 11a.

When the device 1 comprises an identification element 10 which comprises an emitter element 16 of electromagnetic waves, said detection means 40 may comprise a receiving element 41 of electromagnetic waves and the detection zone Z corresponds to a transmission zone of the electromagnetic waves. electromagnetic waves in which the receiver element 41 and the transmitter element 16 are electromagnetically coupled magnetically, and the detection zone Z can be arranged to be arranged at a distance from the actuating element 21 to be outside the transmission zone when the identification element 10 is coupled with the actuator 21.

Advantageously, the detection by electromagnetic waves with the pair of transmitter element 16 - receiver element 41 has the advantage of transmitting, almost instantaneously, the information that an identification element 10 has been decoupled or has been separated from the device. actuation 21.

Preferably, the receiving element 41 is disposed at the level of the receiving element 30.

Alternatively, the sensing means 40 may be disposed in the receiving member 30 and have a weight sensor (not shown) for detecting whether one or more identification elements have been received in the receiving member 30. .

As shown in FIGS. 4a to 5, and 8 to 11b, the receiving element 30 may comprise a receptacle 31 for collecting said identification element 10 during its displacement following its decoupling or its separation from the body. actuation 21. In addition, the receiving member 30 may comprise at least one guide zone 32 arranged to guide said identification element 10 to the receptacle 31 under the effect of gravity.

Advantageously, the displacement of the identification elements 10 towards the receptacle 31 where they are intended to be detected is facilitated since they slide to the receptacle 31.

Preferably, the guide zone 32 has at least one inclined guide ramp 33 opening into said receptacle 31.

This method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

provision of a detection device 1,

mechanical coupling (FIG. 7b, 12b, 13b, 14b) or association (FIG. 15b) of an identification element 10 to said actuating member 21 by means of said identification element 10, arranged to rest in equilibrium with the actuating member 21 at least in the first position P1 and arranged to be separated from said actuating member 21 automatically during movement of said actuating member from the first position P1 to the second position P2,

mechanical decoupling (FIGS. 7c, 12c, 13c, 14c) or separation (FIG. 15c), automatically, means of said identification element 10 of said actuating member during the displacement of said actuating member 21 from the first position PI to the second position P2,

Advantageously, the proposed detection and monitoring method allows a reliable, effective detection to alert the user in the event of a fault (s) reported by one or more electrical devices 20.

By decoupling or separation is meant, automatically, a decoupling of the coupling means 12 from the identification element 10 of the coupling site 23 of the actuating member 21, or a separation of the support zone 12 of the support surface 25 of the actuating member, preferably under the effect of gravity and / or ejection force.

After the step of decoupling or separating the identification element 10 from the actuating member 21, the identification element 10 drops towards the receiving element 30 under the effect of gravity.

As a result, the identification element 10 is located in the receiving element 30 and in the vicinity of the detection means 40 so as to be detected by the detection means 40.

Thus, the decoupling step of the identification element 10 is improved with the actuating member 21 due to the acceleration transmitted to the identification element 10 by the ejection force which is exerted on the support means 13 by the housing 22. This ensures certainly the ejection of the identification element 10 through the support means 13 against the housing 22, by a lever effect that propels Identification element 10, which is particularly useful for the variant illustrated in FIG. 8.

Once located in the receiving element 30, the identification element or elements 10 are detected by the detection means 40 as previously described, or if the detection means 40 comprise a receiving element 41 and the identification element 10 comprises a transmitter element 16, when the receiver element 41 receives an electromagnetic signal from the receiver element 16, or if a weight sensor 42 is used as detection means 40, if last detects a change in weight.

In a step of identifying the identification element or elements 10, the detection means 40 can transmit a signal to a processing unit (not shown), as previously described, which identifies as a function of the transmission frequency of the transmission device. transmitting element 16 of the identification element 10 transmitted to the receiver element 41 or the weight of the identification element 10 which electrical device or 20 signal a defect.

In an optional user alerting step, the processing unit transmits identification information of the one or more electrical devices signaling one or more faults to a control unit, as previously described.

Advantageously, the user is alerted almost instantly to the occurrence of a defect on his installation, even if he is absent from his home.

In a configuration step of the control unit the following operations can be implemented:

- long press on a button of the human-machine interface, - flashing of an LED type indicator to indicate to the user to position an identifier element in the zone of detection Z,

-signal of the pairing to the user by a visual or audible signal.

As a result, the identification element 10 is then known by the control unit and ready to be used.

The detection device 1 may be in the form of a kit comprising one or more identification elements 10, and a receiving element 30 comprising the detection means 40 described above.

To install the detection device 1 in a kit, it is sufficient for the user to install the receiving element 30, on the inner face 63 of the door 61 of its electrical cabinet 60 and in the lower part, for example, with a double-sided adhesive and position the identification elements 10 on the actuating members 21 of the electrical apparatus 20 which it wishes to monitor the state.

This installation step of the detection device 1 kit is very easy to implement and can be implemented by a user, such as an individual.

The detection device 1 may be in the form of a kit comprising one or more identification elements 10, and a door 61 comprising a receiving element 30 comprising the detection means 40 described above.
