Definitions
- a shape of the teeth of said toothed pinion whose flanks join, radially outward, on a common edge and have, on the leading flank, an involute shape and, on the opposite flank, a flank plane starting from the edge and which is inclined relative to a radial straight line passing through the middle of the tooth, and, a shape of the tooth of the large toothed wheel which occurs after the release, in said predetermined direction, the sides of which join radially outward on a common edge and which has an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the fish bone.
- European patent No 0 294 561 A2 describes a drive mechanism of a similar type, coupled to a disconnector and the first tooth of the large gear wheel, which is located immediately after the release, is radially retractable against the stress of a compression spring. Yes this tooth abuts against the top of a tooth of the toothed pinion, at the beginning of the latching process, it retracts radially by compressing the spring associated with it. As a result, this tooth can slide without generating blocking on the edge of the corresponding tooth of the toothed pinion. When she has beyond this edge, it engages in the hollow which follows the tooth of the pinion toothed.
- the present invention proposes to remedy all of these disadvantages and remove the risk of malfunctions of these known mechanisms offering an effective solution, simple to carry out, little expensive and which can also be adapted by a transformation appropriate, to mechanisms of this type that are already in use.
- This goal is achieved by the mechanism as defined in the preamble and characterized in that said first clearance provided at the periphery of said large the toothed wheel is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a first radially retractable tooth against the constraint of a spring of compression, in that said first retractable tooth is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, from a second clearance provided at the periphery of this large gear wheel, generated by a discontinuity complementary to the teeth, this second clearance extending over at minus two gear steps, and in that the tooth that immediately follows said second clearance is a second radially retractable tooth against the stress of a compression spring.
- said second clearance extends over a length slightly less than an integer number of gear steps and said second retractable tooth has flanks which join radially towards the exterior, on a common edge, and which have an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the edge.
- said second clearance extends over a length approximately 116 less than a gear step to an integer gear pitch and preferably over an approximate length equal to 2 (5/6) of gear pitch.
- said second tooth retractable is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a third clearance which extends over at least two gear pitches.
- said third clearance is followed by a tooth whose the flanks join radially outward, on a common edge, and which has an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the edge.
- said first clearance is followed, in the predetermined direction of rotation, of n teeth retractable axially against the spring stress, each of these retractable teeth being followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a clearance extending over at least two gear steps.
- said retractable teeth and the first non-retractable tooth following the last retractable tooth, in the predetermined direction of rotation have flanks which join radially towards the exterior, on a common edge, and which have an inclined plane in their upper zone adjacent to the edge.
- Said retractable teeth are advantageously separated from the two teeth neighboring retractable by a clearance extending over a length slightly less than a whole number of gear steps.
- the spring drive mechanism 10 as shown intended to be coupled to a switching device, comprises a interlocking shaft 11, freely rotatable about its axis 12 and bearing on the one hand a large toothed wheel 13 and on the other hand a cam 14 whose function will be explained later.
- An engagement spring 15, consisting by a tension spring, is coupled to the large toothed wheel 13 at a point attachment 16, via a chain 17, or any other means suitable, which passes over an angular pulley 18 in the example represented.
- the large toothed wheel 13 meshes with a toothed pinion 19 which is coupled via a gear train 20 to a drive pinion 21 integral an output shaft 22 of a drive motor 23.
- the engagement spring 15 exerts a traction on the chain 17 and causes the rotation of the large gear 13, in the predetermined direction indicated by arrow A, the attachment point 16 passing from a standby position slightly downstream from neutral 16a (in the predetermined direction of rotation A of the large toothed wheel), at a final position corresponding to a relaxation point 16b which is diametrically opposite to neutral 16a.
- the engine 23 takes over to drive the drive shaft 11 rotating in the predetermined direction of rotation A. This movement is continues until the point where the interlocking spring is attached again slightly exceeds the neutral point 16a and where this spring is armed.
- a ratchet mechanism 24 which comprises a ratchet 25 actuated by an electromagnet 26 and a stop 27 mounted on one of the faces of the large wheel tooth 13, which cooperates with the pawl 25 to stop this wheel in the desired waiting position.
- the mechanism 10 comprises a main shaft 30 which in particular carries an actuating lever 31 of a lever (not shown) of the switching device, a coupling lever 32 of this shaft to a trigger spring 33, a roller carrier lever 34 which carries a cam follower roller 34a which cooperates with the cam 14, a locking lever 35 which cooperates with a pawl 36 actuated by an electromagnet 37 and a braking lever which is coupled to a brake 38 constituted for example by an oil jack or the like.
- the trigger spring 33 is preferably identical or similar to the engagement spring 15 and is connected by means of a chain 39 guided by an angular pulley 40 to the coupling lever 32.
- the cam follower roller 34a is resting against the cam 14 mounted on the engagement shaft 11.
- This cam controls the movement of the lever 34 between two positions 41 a and 41 b which correspond respectively to the positions l and O of the actuating lever 31.
- the pawl 36 ensures the locking lever 35 is locked in a position which corresponds to position l of the actuating lever 31.
- Figure 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, part of the Ferris wheel toothed 13 and the toothed pinion 19.
- the teeth 50 of the pinion 19 have a particular geometry which corresponds to a point size.
- the flanks of these teeth join radially outward on an edge common and present, on the flank of attack, a developing form and on the opposite flank, a plane starting from the edge and which is inclined relative to a radial straight line passing through the middle of the corresponding tooth.
- the large toothed wheel 13 comprises, in the predetermined direction of rotation A, a discontinuity in the toothing 51, this discontinuity generating a first clearance 52a which constitutes an area without teeth.
- a first tooth retractable 53a is arranged in this clearance. It is integral with a partially hollowed socket 54a which is housed in a recess 55a substantially cylindrical, formed in the thickness of the large gear.
- a compression spring 56a is mounted in the closed space delimited between the cavity of the hollowed-out sleeve 54a and the recess 55a of the wheel, this spring having tendency to push tooth 53a radially to the outside of the wheel.
- a stop plate 57a is fixed to the bottom of the first clearance 52a so partially closing the recess 55a.
- This stop plate is fixed to the by means of at least one and preferably two locking screws 58a. Thanks to this assembly, the tooth 53a can partially retract inside of recess 55a, contrary to the constraint exerted by the spring of compression 56a.
- the large wheel 13 has a second clearance 52b which is generated by a discontinuity complementary to the toothing 51 of this wheel.
- This second release extends over at least two gear pitches. According to one embodiment preferred, this clearance extends over a length slightly less than one whole number of gear steps and advantageously on a whole number, for example three gear steps reduced by 1/6 gear step.
- the tooth 53b of the toothing of the large toothed wheel, which follows said second clearance 52b, is also retractable under the constraint of a spring compression 56b.
- the tooth 60 which follows the second retractable tooth 53b, after a third clearance 52c which extends over a length equal to a number whole gear pitch, includes, as well as each of the teeth retractable, sides which join radially outwards on a common edge.
- the flank opposite the leading flank has an inclined plane in its upper part adjacent to the edge of the tooth.
- the two retractable teeth 53a and 53b can be prominent compared to the other teeth 51 of the teeth of the large gear wheel, this which has the advantage of reducing the probability that the tip of said others teeth comes into contact with the tip of a pinion tooth 19.
- Figures 3A to 3H illustrate what happens in the absence of a collision between the teeth 50 of the pinion 19 and the teeth of the large gear wheel 13.
- the instant initial is represented by figures 3A and 3B, this last figure representing the coming into contact of a tooth of the pinion 19 and the first retractable tooth 53a of the large gear wheel 13.
- Figures 3C and 3D show the relative position of the sprocket teeth relative to the teeth 51 missing, shown in broken lines, of the large gear wheel 13.
- FIG. 3E illustrates in broken lines the primitive shape of a tooth 61 pinion 19 not cut appropriately. We see in this figure that if this shape were maintained, it would automatically cause a collision with the second retractable tooth 53b of the large toothed wheel.
- the following figures 3F, 3G and 3H illustrate the relative positions of the teeth 50 of the pinion 19 and 53a, 53b and 60 of the large gear 13.
- Figures 4A to 4H illustrate what happens when the tip of a tooth 50 pinion 19 meets the tip of the retractable tooth 53a of the ferris wheel toothed 13.
- the initial instant of this contact between the two teeth 50 and 53a is shown in Figure 4B.
- Point-to-point contact causes tooth retraction 53a.
- Figures 4C and 4D illustrate the teeth of the pinion and those of the big gear have relative positions which are illustrated by Figures 4C and 4D.
- Figure 4E illustrates the contact between a teeth 50 of the pinion 19 with the second retractable tooth 53b.
- the number of retractable teeth is not limited to two and may extend to three or n axially retractable teeth against the constraint of a thrust spring, each of these teeth being followed by a clearance as defined above.

Description
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme d'entraínement à ressort pour un appareil de commutation de puissance, en particulier pour un commutateur de puissance pour moyenne et haute tension et notamment un disjoncteur, ce mécanisme comportant :
- un ressort d'enclenchement couplé excentriquement à un arbre d'enclenchement librement rotatif autour de son axe, ledit ressort étant agencé pour entraíner d'une part l'arbre d'enclenchement dans un sens prédéterminé de rotation pour assurer la mise en circuit de l'appareil de commutation, et d'autre part, une grande roue dentée montée sur l'arbre d'enclenchement et un pignon denté qui engrène ladite grande roue dentée et qui est couplé à un organe d'entraínement pour entraíner ladite grande roue dentée par l'intermédiaire dudit pignon denté et ledit arbre d'enclenchement dans ledit sens prédéterminé pour mettre sous contrainte le ressort d'enclenchement en vue de la mise en circuit de l'appareil de commutation, ledit arbre d'enclenchement étant agencé pour passer d'une position initiale dans laquelle le ressort d'enclenchement est au moins partiellement détendu, au-delà d'une position de point mort dans laquelle le ressort d'enclenchement est sous contrainte,
- un mécanisme à cliquet agencé pour être en appui contre ladite grande roue dentée dans une position d'appui qui se situe au-delà de la position de point mort dans ledit sens prédéterminé et pour libérer ledit arbre d'enclenchement pour la mise en circuit dudit appareil de commutation,
- un premier dégagement ménagé à la périphérie de ladite grande roue dentée et générée par une discontinuité dans la denture de cette grande roue dentée, ce premier dégagement étant ménagé dans une zone de la denture qui se situe près dudit pignon denté lorsque l'arbre d'enclenchement est en appui contre le mécanisme à cliquet, et
- des moyens pour empêcher le blocage mutuel de la grande roue dentée et du pignon denté après la libération de l'arbre d'enclenchement par le mécanisme à cliquet, ces moyens comprenant:
- a latching spring eccentrically coupled to a latching shaft freely rotatable about its axis, said spring being arranged to drive on the one hand the latching shaft in a predetermined direction of rotation to ensure the switching on of the switching device, and on the other hand, a large toothed wheel mounted on the interlocking shaft and a toothed pinion which meshes with said large toothed wheel and which is coupled to a drive member for driving said large toothed wheel by by means of said toothed pinion and said engagement shaft in said predetermined direction for stressing the engagement spring with a view to switching on the switching apparatus, said engagement shaft being arranged to pass from an initial position in which the engagement spring is at least partially relaxed, beyond a neutral position in which the engagement spring is under stress ,
- a ratchet mechanism arranged to bear against said large toothed wheel in a support position which is located beyond the neutral position in said predetermined direction and to release said engagement shaft for switching on said switching device,
- a first clearance formed at the periphery of said large toothed wheel and generated by a discontinuity in the teeth of this large toothed wheel, this first relief being provided in an area of the teeth which is located near said toothed pinion when the shaft engagement is in abutment against the ratchet mechanism, and
- means for preventing the mutual locking of the large toothed wheel and the toothed pinion after the release of the engagement shaft by the ratchet mechanism, these means comprising:
une forme des dents dudit pignon denté dont les flancs se joignent,
radialement vers l'extérieur, sur une arête commune et présentent, sur le
flanc d'attaque, une forme en développante et, sur le flanc opposé, un plan
de flanc partant de l'arête et qui est incliné par rapport à une droite radiale
passant par le milieu de la dent, et,
une forme de la dent de la grande roue dentée qui se présente après
le dégagement, dans ledit sens prédéterminé, dont les flancs se joignent
radialement vers l'extérieur sur une arête commune et qui comporte un plan
incliné dans sa zone supérieure adjacente à l'arête.a shape of the teeth of said toothed pinion whose flanks join, radially outward, on a common edge and have, on the leading flank, an involute shape and, on the opposite flank, a flank plane starting from the edge and which is inclined relative to a radial straight line passing through the middle of the tooth, and,
a shape of the tooth of the large toothed wheel which occurs after the release, in said predetermined direction, the sides of which join radially outward on a common edge and which has an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the fish bone.
La demande de brevet européen publiée sous le No 0 651 409 A1 décrit un mécanisme de ce type. Dans cette réalisation toutes les dents du pignon denté ainsi que la première dent qui suit, dans le sens prédéterminé, le dégagement engendré par la discontinuité de la denture de la grande roue dentée, sont configurées de telle sorte que leurs flancs convergent vers une seule et même arête. Cette mesure a pour but d'empêcher un blocage des roues dentées. Toutefois, il s'est avéré que la friction d'une arête du pignon denté sur le flanc d'attaque de la première dent qui suit le dégagement de la grande roue dentée, engendre des pertes de puissance plus ou moins importantes dues aux frottements. Ces pertes, qui dépendent de la position du pignon denté, ont pour conséquence des variations du temps requis pour enclencher l'appareil de commutation ainsi qu'une usure non négligeable de la première dent qui suit le dégagement de la grande roue dentée. Si le mécanisme est utilisé pour la commande d'un commutateur destiné à être enclenché pour réduire les surtensions du réseau, de façon synchrone avec la tension de ce réseau, de telles variations apparaissant de façon aléatoire ne sont pas tolérables.The European patent application published under No. 0 651 409 A1 describes a mechanism of this type. In this realization all the teeth of the pinion toothed as well as the first tooth which follows, in the predetermined direction, the clearance caused by the discontinuity of the teeth of the ferris wheel toothed, are configured so that their sides converge towards a single and same edge. The purpose of this measure is to prevent a blockage of cogwheels. However, it turned out that the friction of an edge of the pinion toothed on the leading flank of the first tooth following the release of the large gear wheel, more or less power losses important due to friction. These losses, which depend on the position of the toothed pinion, result in variations in the time required for switch on the switchgear as well as significant wear of the first tooth following the release of the large gear. If the mechanism is used to control a switch intended to be engaged to reduce network overvoltages, synchronously with the voltage of this network, such variations appearing randomly are not tolerable.
Le brevet européen No 0 294 561 A2 décrit un mécanisme d'entraínement
d'un type similaire, accouplé à un sectionneur et dont la première dent de la
grande roue dentée, qui se situe immédiatement après le dégagement, est
rétractable radialement contre la sollicitation d'un ressort de compression. Si
cette dent bute contre le sommet d'une dent du pignon denté, au début du
processus d'enclenchement, elle se rétracte radialement en comprimant le
ressort qui lui est associé. De ce fait, cette dent peut glisser sans générer de
blocage sur l'arête de la dent correspondante du pignon denté. Lorsqu'elle a
dépassé cette arête, elle s'engage dans le creux qui suit la dent du pignon
denté. Toutefois, il existe un risque important que la dent rétractable continue
à entraíner la grande roue dentée par frottement, malgré son escamotage
progressif à l'intérieur du logement qui contient le ressort. Dans ce cas, la
deuxième dent qui suit le dégagement ménagé sur la grande roue dentée, et
qui n'est pas rétractable, peut buter contre l'arête d'une dent du pignon denté
et bloquer tout l'engrenage. Cette probabilité est élevée, car le pignon denté
est découplé de son entraínement par un accouplement à roue libre et peut
donc tourner très facilement.
La présente invention se propose de remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients et de supprimer les risques de dysfonctionnements de ces mécanismes connus en offrant une solution efficace, simple à réaliser, peu coûteuse et qui peut en outre être adaptée par une transformation appropriée, aux mécanismes de ce type qui sont déjà en service.The present invention proposes to remedy all of these disadvantages and remove the risk of malfunctions of these known mechanisms offering an effective solution, simple to carry out, little expensive and which can also be adapted by a transformation appropriate, to mechanisms of this type that are already in use.
Ce but est atteint par le mécanisme tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce que ledit premier dégagement ménagé à la périphérie de ladite grande roue dentée est suivi, dans ledit sens prédéterminé de rotation, d'une première dent rétractable radialement contre la contrainte d'un ressort de compression, en ce que ladite première dent rétractable est suivie, dans ledit sens prédéterminé de rotation, d'un deuxième dégagement ménagé à la périphérie de cette grande roue dentée, généré par une discontinuité complémentaire de la denture, ce deuxième dégagement s'étendant sur au moins deux pas d'engrenage, et en ce que la dent qui suit immédiatement ledit deuxième dégagement est une deuxième dent rétractable radialement contre la contrainte d'un ressort de compression.This goal is achieved by the mechanism as defined in the preamble and characterized in that said first clearance provided at the periphery of said large the toothed wheel is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a first radially retractable tooth against the constraint of a spring of compression, in that said first retractable tooth is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, from a second clearance provided at the periphery of this large gear wheel, generated by a discontinuity complementary to the teeth, this second clearance extending over at minus two gear steps, and in that the tooth that immediately follows said second clearance is a second radially retractable tooth against the stress of a compression spring.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ledit deuxième dégagement s'étend sur une longueur légèrement inférieure à un nombre entier de pas d'engrenage et ladite deuxième dent rétractable a des flancs qui se joignent radialement vers l'extérieur, sur une arête commune, et qui comportent un plan incliné dans sa zone supérieure adjacente à l'arête.According to a preferred embodiment, said second clearance extends over a length slightly less than an integer number of gear steps and said second retractable tooth has flanks which join radially towards the exterior, on a common edge, and which have an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the edge.
De façon avantageuse, ledit deuxième dégagement s'étend sur une longueur inférieure d'approximativement 116 d'un pas d'engrenage à un nombre entier de pas d'engrenage et de préférence sur une longueur approximativement égale à 2 (5/6) de pas d'engrenage. Advantageously, said second clearance extends over a length approximately 116 less than a gear step to an integer gear pitch and preferably over an approximate length equal to 2 (5/6) of gear pitch.
D'une manière particulièrement avantageuse, ladite deuxième dent rétractable est suivie, dans ledit sens prédéterminé de rotation, d'un troisième dégagement qui s'étend sur au moins deux pas d'engrenage.In a particularly advantageous manner, said second tooth retractable is followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a third clearance which extends over at least two gear pitches.
De façon préférentielle, ledit troisième dégagement est suivi d'une dent dont les flancs se joignent radialement vers l'extérieur, sur une arête commune, et qui comporte un plan incliné dans sa zone supérieure adjacente à l'arête.Preferably, said third clearance is followed by a tooth whose the flanks join radially outward, on a common edge, and which has an inclined plane in its upper zone adjacent to the edge.
D'une manière plus générale, ledit premier dégagement est suivi, dans le sens prédéterminé de rotation, de n dents rétractables axialement contre la contrainte d'un ressort, chacune de ces dents rétractables étant suivie, dans ledit sens prédéterminé de rotation, d'un dégagement s'étendant sur au moins deux pas d'engrenage.More generally, said first clearance is followed, in the predetermined direction of rotation, of n teeth retractable axially against the spring stress, each of these retractable teeth being followed, in said predetermined direction of rotation, by a clearance extending over at least two gear steps.
Dans toutes les formes de réalisation, lesdites dents rétractables et la première dent non rétractable suivant la dernière dent rétractable, dans le sens prédéterminé de rotation, ont des flancs qui se joignent radialement vers l'extérieur, sur une arête commune, et qui comportent un plan incliné dans leur zone supérieure adjacente à l'arête.In all embodiments, said retractable teeth and the first non-retractable tooth following the last retractable tooth, in the predetermined direction of rotation, have flanks which join radially towards the exterior, on a common edge, and which have an inclined plane in their upper zone adjacent to the edge.
Lesdites dents rétractables sont avantageusement séparées des deux dents rétractables voisines par un dégagement s'étendant sur une longueur légèrement inférieure à un nombre entier de pas d'engrenage.Said retractable teeth are advantageously separated from the two teeth neighboring retractable by a clearance extending over a length slightly less than a whole number of gear steps.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise en référence à la description
d'une forme de réalisation préférée et des dessins correspondants donnés à
titre d'exemples non limitatifs, dans lesquels :
En référence à la figure 1, le mécanisme 10 d'entraínement à ressort tel que
représenté, destiné à être couplé à un appareil de commutation, comporte un
arbre d'enclenchement 11, librement rotatif autour de son axe 12 et portant
d'une part une grande roue dentée 13 et d'autre part une came 14 dont la
fonction sera expliquée par la suite. Un ressort d'enclenchement 15, constitué
par un ressort de traction, est couplé à la grande roue dentée 13 en un point
d'attache 16, par l'intermédiaire d'une chaíne 17, ou de tout autre moyen
approprié, qui passe sur une poulie de renvoi d'angle 18 dans l'exemple
représenté. La grande roue dentée 13 engrène un pignon denté 19 qui est
couplé via un train d'engrenages 20 à un pignon d'entraínement 21 solidaire
d'un arbre de sortie 22 d'un moteur d'entraínement 23.Referring to Figure 1, the
Cet ensemble de composants du mécanisme connu en soi et décrit en détail
dans la demande de brevet européen publiée sous le No 0 652 409 citée en
préambule, est destiné, pour ce qui est du ressort d'enclenchement 15, à
entraíner l'arbre d'enclenchement 11 dans un sens prédéterminé de rotation
A (voir flèche A sur la figure 1) en vue d'assurer la mise en circuit de
l'appareil de commutation (non représenté) et, pour ce qui est du moteur
d'entraínement 23, à mettre sous contrainte le ressort d'enclenchement 15
afin qu'il soit armé et prêt à libérer son énergie accumulée pour assurer à tout
moment la mise en circuit de l'appareil de commutation. A cet effet, lors d'un
enclenchement de l'appareil, le ressort d'enclenchement 15 exerce une
traction sur la chaíne 17 et provoque la rotation de la grande roue dentée 13,
dans le sens prédéterminé indiqué par la flèche A, le point d'attache 16
passant d'une position d'attente située légèrement en aval du point mort 16a
(dans le sens prédéterminé de rotation A de la grande roue dentée), à une
position finale correspondant à un point de relaxation 16b qui est
diamétralement opposé au point mort 16a. Par la suite, le moteur
d'entraínement 23 prend le relais pour entraíner l'arbre d'enclenchement 11
en rotation dans le sens prédéterminé de rotation A. Ce déplacement se
poursuit jusqu'au moment où le point d'attache du ressort d'enclenchement
dépasse à nouveau légèrement le point mort 16a et où ce ressort est armé.
L'arrêt de la grande roue dentée dans cette position est obtenu par un
mécanisme à cliquet 24 qui comporte un cliquet 25 actionné par un électro-aimant
26 et une butée 27 montée sur une des faces de la grande roue
dentée 13, qui coopère avec le cliquet 25 pour arrêter cette roue dans la
position d'attente souhaitée.This set of components of the mechanism known per se and described in detail
in the European patent application published under No. 0 652 409 cited in
preamble, is intended, as regards the interlocking
Par ailleurs, le mécanisme 10 comporte un arbre principal 30 qui porte
notamment un levier d'actionnement 31 d'une manette (non représentée) de
l'appareil de commutation, un levier de couplage 32 de cet arbre à un ressort
de déclenchement 33, un levier porte-galet 34 qui porte un galet suiveur de
came 34a qui coopère avec la came 14, un levier de blocage 35 qui coopère
avec un cliquet 36 actionné par un électro-aimant 37 et un levier de freinage
qui est couplé à un frein 38 constitué par exemple par un vérin à huile ou
similaire. Le ressort de déclenchement 33 est de préférence identique ou
similaire au ressort d'enclenchement 15 et est relié au moyen d'une chaíne 39
guidée par une poulie de renvoi d'angle 40 au levier de couplage 32. Le galet
suiveur de came 34a est en appui contre la came 14 montée sur l'arbre
d'enclenchement 11. Cette came commande le mouvement du levier 34 entre
deux positions 41 a et 41 b qui correspondent respectivement aux positions l et
O du levier d'actionnement 31. Le cliquet 36 assure le verrouillage du levier
de blocage 35 dans une position qui correspond à la position l du levier
d'actionnement 31.Furthermore, the
La figure 2 représente, à une échelle agrandie, une partie de la grande roue
dentée 13 et le pignon denté 19. On notera que les dents 50 du pignon 19
présentent une géométrie particulière qui correspond à une taille en pointe.
Les flancs de ces dents se joignent radialement vers l'extérieur sur une arête
commune et présentent, sur le flanc d'attaque, une forme en développante et
sur le flanc opposé, un plan partant de l'arête et qui est incliné par rapport à
une droite radiale passant par le milieu de la dent correspondante. Figure 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, part of the
La grande roue dentée 13 comporte, dans le sens prédéterminé de rotation A,
une discontinuité de la denture 51, cette discontinuité engendrant un premier
dégagement 52a qui constitue une zone sans dents. Une première dent
rétractable 53a est disposée dans ce dégagement. Elle est solidaire d'une
douille 54a partiellement évidée qui est logée dans un évidement 55a
sensiblement cylindrique, ménagé dans l'épaisseur de la grande roue dentée.
Un ressort de compression 56a est monté dans l'espace fermé délimité entre la
cavité de la douille évidée 54a et l'évidement 55a de la roue, ce ressort ayant
tendance à repousser la dent 53a radialement
vers l'extérieur de la roue. Pour
empêcher la sortie de cette dent et pour limiter sa course vers l'extérieur, une
plaque d'arrêt 57a est fixée au fond du premier dégagement 52a de manière
à obturer partiellement l'évidement 55a. Cette plaque d'arrêt est fixée au
moyen d'au moins une et de préférence deux vis de blocage 58a.
Grâce à cet assemblage, la dent 53a peut s'escamoter en partie à l'intérieur
de l'évidement 55a, à l'encontre de la contrainte qu'exerce le ressort de
compression 56a.The large
A la suite de cette première dent rétractable 53a, la grande roue 13 présente
un deuxième dégagement 52b qui est engendré par une discontinuité
complémentaire de la denture 51 de cette roue. Ce deuxième dégagement
s'étend sur au moins deux pas d'engrenage. Selon une forme de réalisation
préférée, ce dégagement s'étend sur une longueur légèrement inférieure à un
nombre entier de pas d'engrenage et avantageusement sur un nombre entier,
par exemple trois pas d'engrenage diminués de 1/6 de pas d'engrenage.Following this first
La dent 53b de la denture de la grande roue dentée, qui suit ledit deuxième
dégagement 52b, est également rétractable sous la contrainte d'un ressort de
compression 56b. La dent 60 qui suit la deuxième dent rétractable 53b, après
un troisième dégagement 52c qui s'étend sur une longueur égale à un nombre
entier de pas d'engrenage, comporte, ainsi que chacune des dents
rétractables, des flancs qui se joignent radialement vers l'extérieur sur une
arête commune. Le flanc opposé au flanc d'attaque présente un plan incliné
dans sa partie supérieure adjacente à l'arête de la dent. D'une manière
générale, les deux dents rétractables 53a et 53b peuvent être proéminentes
par rapport aux autres dents 51 de la denture de la grande roue dentée, ce
qui a pour avantage de réduire la probabilité que la pointe desdites autres
dents entre en contact avec la pointe d'une dent du pignon 19.The
Les figures 3A à 3H illustrent ce qui se passe en l'absence de collision entre
les dents 50 du pignon 19 et les dents de la grande roue dentée 13. L'instant
initial est représenté par les figures 3A et 3B, cette dernière figure
représentant l'entrée en contact d'une dent du pignon 19 et de la première
dent rétractable 53a de la grande roue dentée 13. Les figures 3C et 3D
montrent la position relative des dents du pignon par rapport aux dents 51
manquantes, représentées en traits interrompus, de la grande roue dentée
13. La figure 3E illustre en traits interrompus la forme primitive d'une dent 61
du pignon 19 non taillée de façon appropriée. On constate sur cette figure
que si cette forme était maintenue, elle entraínerait automatiquement une
collision avec la deuxième dent escamotable 53b de la grande roue dentée.
Les figures suivantes 3F, 3G et 3H illustrent les positions relatives des dents
50 du pignon 19 et 53a, 53b et 60 de la grande roue dentée 13.Figures 3A to 3H illustrate what happens in the absence of a collision between
the
Les figures 4A à 4H illustrent ce qui se passe lorsque la pointe d'une dent 50
du pignon 19 rencontre la pointe de la dent rétractable 53a de la grande roue
dentée 13. L'instant initial de ce contact entre les deux dents 50 et 53a est
représenté par la figure 4B. Le contact pointe sur pointe provoque la
rétraction de la dent 53a. Au cours de la suite du mouvement, les dents du
pignon et celles de la grande roue dentée ont des positions relatives qui sont
illustrées par les figures 4C et 4D. La figure 4E illustre le contact entre une
des dents 50 du pignon 19 avec la deuxième dent rétractable 53b. Cette dent
se rétracte comme le montre la figure 4F, puis l'engrenage des deux roues
dentées se fait normalement comme le montrent les figures 4G et 4H grâce
aux dégagements 52a, 52b et 52c prévus entre les dents rétractables 53a,
53b et à la suite de la deuxième de ces dents.Figures 4A to 4H illustrate what happens when the tip of a
L'invention ne se limite pas aux formes de réalisation représentées qui ne constituent que des exemples de construction. En particulier le nombre de dents rétractables n'est pas limité à deux et peut s'étendre à trois ou n dents rétractables axialement à l'encontre de la contrainte d'un ressort de poussée, chacune de ces dents étant suivie d'un dégagement tel que défini précédemment.The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown which are only examples of construction. In particular, the number of retractable teeth is not limited to two and may extend to three or n axially retractable teeth against the constraint of a thrust spring, each of these teeth being followed by a clearance as defined above.
