Sur les figures a été représenté un dispositif de commande d'un disjoncteur électrique basse tension, ledit disjoncteur étant utilisé pour protéger un circuit électrique contre les court-circuits. Ce disjoncteur est commandé par un dispositif de déclenchement magnétique principal D et par un dispositif de commande auxiliaire A, tel un dispositif de commande à distance. Ce dispositif de déclenchement magnétique principal D comporte de manière connue en soi, une bobine électromagnétique 1 montée autour d'un fourreau 2 dit premier, lequel est monté à force sur un noyau fixe 3, ledit noyau fixe 3 étant maintenu à l'une de ses extrémités 4 par une carcasse 5. Conformément à l'invention, ce dispositif de déclenchement auxiliaire A est logé dans le boîtier B (non représenté) du disjoncteur et comporte également un noyau mobile 6 dit premier, monté coulissant à l'intérieur dudit fourreau 2. Les deux noyaux 3,6 comportent chacun un orifice cylindrique 7,8 recevant à coulissement une tige d'actionnement 9, ladite tige 9 comportant à l'une 10 de ses extrémités 10,11 un percuteur 12. Du côté du dispositif de déclenchement principal D, la tige d'actionnement 9 comporte deux parties 13,14 de diamètres différents, ladite tige venant en appui au niveau de la jonction 15 entre ces deux parties 13,14 sur une paroi intérieure 16 du noyau mobile 6. Ces deux noyaux 3,6 comportent également respectivement deux orifices cylindriques 17,18 situés en regard et recevant un ressort 19 en appui respectivement par ses deux extrémités opposés 20,21 sur le noyau fixe 3 et sur le noyau mobile 6, ce ressort 19 étant destiné à rappeler le noyau mobile 6 dans une position de repos, dans laquelle ce noyau mobile 6 est dans la position la plus éloignée du percuteur 12.In the figures has been shown a control device of a low-voltage electrical circuit breaker, said circuit breaker being used to protect an electrical circuit against short circuits. This circuit breaker is controlled by a main magnetic triggering device D and by an auxiliary control device A, such as a control device. distance. This main magnetic trigger device D comprises, in a manner known per se, an electromagnetic coil 1 mounted around a sheath 2, said first sheath, which is force-fitted on a fixed core 3, said fixed core 3 being held at one of its ends 4 by a carcass 5. According to the invention, this auxiliary tripping device A is housed in the housing B (not shown) of the circuit breaker and also comprises a movable core 6 said first, slidably mounted inside said sheath 2. The two cores 3.6 each comprise a cylindrical orifice 7, slidably receiving an actuating rod 9, said rod 9 having at one of its ends 10, 11 a striker 12. On the side of the main trigger D, the actuating rod 9 comprises two parts 13,14 of different diameters, said rod bearing at the junction 15 between these two parts 13,14 on an inner wall 16 of the core These two cores 3.6 also comprise respectively two cylindrical orifices 17, 18 facing each other and receiving a spring 19 bearing respectively by its two opposite ends 20, 21 on the fixed core 3 and on the movable core 6. this spring 19 being intended to recall the movable core 6 in a rest position, in which this movable core 6 is in the farthest position of the firing pin 12.

Le dispositif de commande auxiliaire A comporte également un fourreau dit second 23, situé dans le prolongement dudit premier fourreau 2, supportant une bobine dite seconde 22 et lequel, dans cette réalisation, est venu de matière avec le premier fourreau 2. Cette partie prolongée de fourreau 23, ou second fourreau, comporte un premier orifice cylindrique 24 recevant à coulissement le premier noyau mobile précité 6, lequel noyau vient en appui en fin de course de coulissement en direction du dispositif de commande auxiliaire A contre une paroi intérieure 25 dudit second fourreau 23. Ce dispositif d'actionnement auxiliaire A comporte également un noyau mobile dit second noyau mobile 26, monté dans un second orifice cylindrique 27 du second fourreau 23. Ce second noyau mobile 26 comporte un orifice cylindrique 28 recevant une partie 32 de la tige d'actionnement 9 située à son extrémité 29 située du côté opposé au percuteur 12, cette partie 32 de la tige 9 étant montée à force dans le second noyau mobile 26. A l'intérieur de cette partie de fourreau 23, la tige d'actionnement 9 comporte deux parties de diamètres différents 31,32, le noyau mobile dit second 26 étant en appui sur la tige 9 au niveau de la jonction 30 entre ces deux parties 31,32. Un ressort 33 est interposé entre une paroi extérieure 34 du second noyau mobile 26 et une paroi intérieure 35 du premier noyau mobile 6 pour rappeler ce second noyau mobile 26 dans une position de repos la plus éloignée par rapport au percuteur 12.The auxiliary control device A also comprises a said second sheath 23, situated in the extension of said first sheath 2, supporting a so-called second reel 22 and which, in this embodiment, is integral with the first sheath 2. This extended part of sheath 23, or second sheath, comprises a first cylindrical orifice 24 slidably receiving the aforementioned first movable core 6, which core bears at the end of the sliding stroke towards the auxiliary control device A against an inner wall 25 of said second sheath 23. This auxiliary actuation device A also comprises a movable core said second movable core 26, mounted in a second cylindrical orifice 27 of the second sleeve 23. This second movable core 26 has a cylindrical orifice 28 receiving a portion 32 of the stem. 9 actuation located at its end 29 located on the opposite side to the firing pin 12, this portion 32 of the rod 9 being mounted e in force in the second movable core 26. Inside this portion of the sleeve 23, the actuating rod 9 comprises two parts of different diameters 31,32, the second said mobile core 26 being supported on the rod 9 at the junction 30 between these two parts 31,32. A spring 33 is interposed between an outer wall 34 of the second mobile core 26 and an inner wall 35 of the first movable core 6 to recall the second movable core 26 in a rest position furthest from the striker 12.

Dans la réalisation illustrée sur la figure 8, ce ressort 33 est arrêté par un anneau élastique 36. Dans cette réalisation également, la tige d'actionnement 9 est en appui sur le noyau mobile 26 du dispositif auxiliaire A, lequel est arrêté dans son mouvement par une butée 37.In the illustrated embodiment on the figure 8 this spring 33 is stopped by an elastic ring 36. In this embodiment also, the actuating rod 9 bears on the movable core 26 of the auxiliary device A, which is stopped in its movement by a stop 37.

Sur la figure 2, l'appareil A est dans une position de repos correspondant à un fonctionnement normal de l'appareil pendant lequel le courant circule à travers la bobine 1 puis à travers le contact mobile du dispositif, en contact avec le contact fixe (non représentés).On the figure 2 , the apparatus A is in a rest position corresponding to a normal operation of the apparatus during which the current flows through the coil 1 and then through the movable contact of the device, in contact with the fixed contact (not shown).

Dans le cas d'une élévation brusque du courant suite à un court-circuit, un champ magnétique est généré par la bobine 1. Lorsque la valeur du courant dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, ce champ déplace le premier noyau mobile 6 en direction du noyau fixe 3. Le percuteur 12 agit alors sur un levier de renvoi (non représenté) du disjoncteur, lequel va dans un premier temps après une certaine course du levier agir sur le barreau pour commander le déclenchement du mécanisme et dans un second temps, après une course supplémentaire du levier, agir sur le contact mobile pour entraîner l'ouverture brusque des contacts.In the case of a sudden rise in the current due to a short circuit, a magnetic field is generated by the coil 1. When the value of the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, this field moves the first mobile core 6 towards the fixed core 3. The striker 12 then acts on a return lever (not shown) of the circuit breaker, which goes in a first step after a certain stroke of the lever act on the bar to control the triggering of the mechanism and in a second time, after a race additional lever, act on the movable contact to cause the sudden opening of the contacts.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif d'actionnement auxiliaire A est le suivant :The operation of the auxiliary actuating device A is as follows:

Lors d'une commande de déclenchement auxiliaire, un champ magnétique est généré par la bobine 22. Lorsqu'un seuil magnétique est atteint, le second noyau mobile 26 se déplace en direction du premier noyau mobile 6 qui agit alors comme un noyau fixe. Dans son mouvement, ce second noyau 6 entraîne la tige d'actionnement 9, laquelle par l'intermédiaire du percuteur 12 agit sur le barreau de déclenchement pour commander le déclenchement du mécanisme de déclenchement.During an auxiliary trip command, a magnetic field is generated by the coil 22. When a magnetic threshold is reached, the second movable core 26 moves towards the first movable core 6 which then acts as a fixed core. In its movement, the second core 6 drives the actuating rod 9, which through the striker 12 acts on the trigger bar to control the triggering of the trigger mechanism.

Ainsi, un circuit magnétique a été créé pour le dispositif d'actionnement auxiliaire A, lequel est intégré derrière le dispositif de déclenchement magnétique principal D dans un minimum de volume.Thus, a magnetic circuit has been created for the auxiliary actuating device A, which is integrated behind the main magnetic release device D in a minimum of volume.

A cet effet, la tôle ou fourreau du circuit magnétique du dispositif de déclenchement magnétique principal est prolongée pour constituer le circuit magnétique de la bobine du dispositif de déclenchement auxiliaire.For this purpose, the sheet or sheath of the magnetic circuit of the main magnetic release device is extended to constitute the magnetic circuit of the coil of the auxiliary trigger device.

En créant une face commune pour les deux circuits magnétiques, l'espace occupé est réduit.By creating a common face for the two magnetic circuits, the occupied space is reduced.

En réalisant les deux fonctions (les deux fonctions de fourreau) avec la même pièce, le nombre de pièces est également réduit.By performing both functions (the two sleeve functions) with the same part, the number of parts is also reduced.

D'autre part, les fonctions existantes du disjoncteur sont utilisées pour le fonctionnement du dispositif de déclenchement auxiliaire. Ainsi, le noyau mobile du dispositif de déclenchement magnétique principal est utilisé comme noyau fixe dans la bobine du dispositif de déclenchement auxiliaire. Ainsi, les pièces intermédiaires qui lient les deux dispositifs sont réduites au minimum.On the other hand, the existing functions of the circuit breaker are used for the operation of the auxiliary trip device. Thus, the movable core of the main magnetic trip device is used as a fixed core in the coil of the auxiliary trip device. Thus, the intermediate parts that bind the two devices are reduced to a minimum.

On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention un appareil de protection électrique commandé par un dispositif de commande auxiliaire dans lequel le dispositif de commande auxiliaire est intégré dans le volume du disjoncteur modulaire, ce qui permet de gagner de la place dans l'armoire électrique, et dans lequel le nombre de pièces utilisé est réduit au minimum.An electrical protection device controlled by an auxiliary control device in which the auxiliary control device is integrated in the volume of the modular circuit breaker has thus been made possible thanks to the invention, which saves space in the control cabinet. and in which the number of pieces used is reduced to a minimum.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisations décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example.

C'est ainsi par exemple que l'invention s'applique à tout appareil de protection électrique tel un disjoncteur ou un interrupteur, commandé par un dispositif de commande auxiliaire, tel un dispositif de protection différentiel, un dispositif de commande à distance ou autres.Thus, for example, the invention applies to any electrical protection device such as a circuit breaker or a switch, controlled by an auxiliary control device, such as a differential protection device, a remote control device or the like.
