Description
L'invention concerne une chambre de coupure destinée à être utilisée dans un disjoncteur à moyenne ou haute tension typiquement dans la gamme de 7.2 kV à 800 kV.The invention relates to a breaking chamber for use in a medium or high voltage circuit breaker typically in the range of 7.2 kV to 800 kV.
Par convention, on précise ici que la terminologie « disjoncteur à haute tension » englobe les disjoncteurs qui peuvent classés dans la catégorie non normalisée ultra-haute tension, i-e au-delà de 550 kV.By convention, it is specified here that the terminology "high voltage circuit breaker" includes circuit breakers that can be classified in the non-standard ultra-high voltage category, i-e beyond 550 kV.
Une application particulière intéressante est l'utilisation dans un disjoncteur d'alternateur.An interesting particular application is the use in an alternator circuit breaker.
Dans ces applications dans lesquelles il est nécessaire de pouvoir couper également un courant de court-circuit élevé, typiquement de 40 kA voire plus, la conception doit être prévue de sorte que les manoeuvres d'ouverture et de fermeture du disjoncteur tripolaire puissent être réalisées uniquement au moyen de l'actionnement d'une commande à mécanisme à faible énergie, usuellement une commande à mécanisme à accrochage de ressort qui est implantée à l'extérieur des chambres de coupure.In those applications in which it is necessary to be able to also cut a high short circuit current, typically 40 kA or more, the design must be provided so that the opening and closing operations of the three-pole circuit breaker can be performed only. by actuating a low energy mechanism control, usually a spring latch mechanism control which is located outside the interrupting chambers.
Or, la masse et les dimensions (volumes) nécessaires aux pièces traversées par le courant de court-circuit augmentent avec la valeur de ce dernier.However, the mass and dimensions (volumes) required for the parts through which the short-circuit current increases with the value of the latter.
L'énergie de manoeuvre nécessaire à leurs déplacements pour couper le courant de court-circuit augmente en conséquence jusqu'au point où il n'est plus possible d'utiliser des commandes à mécanisme à faible énergie qui soient standards.The maneuvering energy required to move them to cut the short-circuit current accordingly increases to the point where it is no longer possible to use low-energy mechanism controls that are standard.
Les disjoncteurs moyenne et haute tension comprennent:
- une paire de contacts permanents dont au moins un est mobile sous l'action d'une tige de manoeuvre auquel il est lié, pour se séparer mutuellement entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle un courant nominal peut circuler à travers et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le courant est interrompu.
- une paire de contacts d'arc dont au moins un est mobile également sous l'action de la tige de manoeuvre auquel il est lié; la course en translation du contact mobile étant suffisamment élevée pour réaliser la coupure de courant quelle que soit sa valeur et pour obtenir la tenue diélectrique du disjoncteur.
- a pair of permanent contacts, at least one of which is movable under the action of an operating rod to which it is connected, for mutually separating between a closed position in which a nominal current can flow through and an open position in which the current is interrupted.
- a pair of arcing contacts of which at least one is movable also under the action of the operating rod to which it is connected; the travel in translation of the movable contact being sufficiently high to achieve the power failure regardless of its value and to obtain the dielectric strength of the circuit breaker.
La vitesse de séparation entre les contacts est un des paramètres principaux pour garantir la coupure et la tenue diélectrique du disjoncteur lors de son ouverture.The speed of separation between the contacts is one of the main parameters to guarantee the break and the dielectric strength of the circuit breaker when it is opened.
Par convention ici et dans le cadre de l'invention, on désigne par « contact», l'ensemble d'un contact permanent, aussi appelé principal, constituant un contact électrique (éventuellement avec son capot pare-effluve) par lequel transite le courant nominal permanent et d'un contact d'arc sur lequel un arc électrique est établi lors d'une coupure du courant.By convention here and in the context of the invention, the term "contact" means the whole of a permanent contact, also called principal, constituting an electrical contact (possibly with its hood). discharge guard) through which the nominal permanent current passes and an arc contact on which an electric arc is established during a power failure.
Les chambres de coupure qui comprennent un contact mobile et un contact fixe sont communément appelés «à simple mouvement ».Cutoff chambers that include a movable contact and a fixed contact are commonly referred to as "single-motion".
Pour réduire l'énergie de manoeuvre tout en augmentant la vitesse de séparation des contacts lors notamment d'une coupure d'un disjoncteur, il a été proposé de concevoir deux contacts mobiles l'un et l'autre simultanément, entraînés par l'intermédiaire d'une seule tige de manoeuvre, la transmission d'un contact mobile à l'autre étant réalisée par des moyens appropriés agencés dans la chambre de coupure.In order to reduce the maneuvering energy while increasing the speed of separation of the contacts during a break in a circuit breaker, it has been proposed to design two movable contacts simultaneously and simultaneously, driven via of a single operating rod, the transmission of a movable contact to the other being carried out by appropriate means arranged in the interrupting chamber.
Ainsi, les chambres de coupure qui comprennent deux contacts opposés et qui sont simultanément mobiles l'un et l'autre sont communément appelés « à double mouvement ».Thus, the cutoff chambers which comprise two opposite contacts and which are simultaneously movable one and the other are commonly called "double movement".
Parmi l'ensemble des chambres de coupure à double mouvement existantes, on peut citer celles utilisant des systèmes d'engrenage, comme moyens de transmission pour séparer mutuellement le premier et deuxième contact lors d'une coupure.Among all the existing double-motion cut-off chambers, mention may be made of those using gear systems, as transmission means for mutually separating the first and second contacts during a break.
Ainsi, la demande de brevet
La demande de brevet
Le brevet
Toutes ces chambres de coupure à double mouvement selon l'état de l'art comprennent un système de transmission permettant de réaliser un mouvement des contacts dans le sens opposé. Or, elles ne permettent pas d'augmenter la vitesse absolue d'un des contacts d'arc par rapport à la vitesse imposée par la commande de manoeuvre.All of these two-movement cut-off chambers according to the state of the art include a transmission system that makes it possible to move the contacts in the opposite direction. However, they do not make it possible to increase the absolute speed of one of the contacts of arc relative to the speed imposed by the control maneuver.
La demande de brevet
- d'une part, le tube porte-contact permanent 8 est solidaire de la tige de manoeuvre 17 par l'intermédiaire du piston de
soufflage 12, ce qui alourdit la masse de l'ensemble mobile de la chambre et donc est préjudiciable à l'énergie de manoeuvre nécessaire ; - d'autre part, du fait que le piston de
soufflage 12 est solidaire de la tige de manoeuvre 17, la compression des gaz lors d'une coupure se fait toujours à la même vitesse que celle de manoeuvre.
- on the one hand, the permanent contact-
holding tube 8 is integral with the operating rod 17 by means of the blowingpiston 12, which increases the mass of the mobile assembly of the chamber and is therefore detrimental to the necessary maneuvering energy; - on the other hand, because the blowing
piston 12 is integral with the operating rod 17, the gas compression during a cut is always at the same speed as that of maneuvering.
Le but de l'invention est ainsi de proposer une chambre de coupure qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de l'art antérieur, et donc de proposer une solution qui permette d'augmenter la vitesse absolue d'au moins un des contacts d'arc par rapport à vitesse imposée par la commande de manoeuvre tout en utilisant une faible énergie de manoeuvre, comme par exemple, en cas de coupure de courant de court-circuit élevés (≥ 40 kA).The object of the invention is thus to propose a breaking chamber which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art, and therefore of proposing a solution which makes it possible to increase the absolute speed of at least one of the arcing contacts. relative to the speed imposed by the operating control while using a low maneuvering energy, such as for example, in the event of a high short-circuit current failure (≥ 40 kA).
Pour ce faire, l'invention a pour objet une chambre de coupure de courant pour disjoncteur à moyenne ou haute tension s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal et comprenant :
- une paire de contacts permanents dont au moins un est mobile selon l'axe longitudinal sous l'action d'une tige de manoeuvre auquel il est lié, pour se séparer mutuellement entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle un courant nominal peut circuler à travers et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le courant est interrompu ;
- une paire de contacts d'arc dont au moins un est mobile selon l'axe longitudinal sous l'action de la tige de manoeuvre auquel il est lié; la course en translation du(es) contact(s) mobile(s) étant suffisamment élevée pour réaliser la coupure de courant quelle que soit sa valeur et pour obtenir la tenue diélectrique du disjoncteur;
- une chambre de soufflage dont le volume est figé et qui débouche à l'intérieur de la buse de soufflage pour amener le gaz de soufflage vers l'arc formé entre les contacts lors d'une coupure ;
- une chambre de compression dont le volume varie et débouche dans la chambre de soufflage sous l'action d'un piston de soufflage;
- a pair of permanent contacts, at least one of which is movable along the longitudinal axis under the action of an operating rod to which it is connected, for mutually separating between a closed position in which a nominal current can flow through and an open position in which the current is interrupted;
- a pair of arcing contacts of which at least one is movable along the longitudinal axis under the action of the operating rod to which it is connected; the travel in translation of (es) mobile contact (s) being high enough to achieve the power failure regardless of its value and to obtain the dielectric strength of the circuit breaker;
- a blowing chamber whose volume is fixed and which opens inside the blowing nozzle to bring the blowing gas to the arc formed between the contacts during a break;
- a compression chamber whose volume varies and opens into the blowing chamber under the action of a blowing piston;
Selon l'invention, le au moins un contact d'arc mobile lié à la tige de manoeuvre est lié indirectement à celle-ci par des moyens mécaniques de transmission adaptés pour obtenir un rapport de vitesses en translation entre ledit contact mobile et la tige de manoeuvre supérieur à 1 et le piston de soufflage est solidaire d'un contact d'arc mobile et d'un contact d'arc permanent, le tube porte-contact d'amenée du courant au contact permanent mobile étant fixe.According to the invention, the at least one movable arc contact connected to the operating rod is linked indirectly to the latter by mechanical transmission means adapted to obtain a gear ratio in translation between said movable contact and the actuating rod greater than 1 and the blowing piston is integral with a movable arcing contact and a permanent arcing contact, the contact tube for supplying the current to the moving permanent contact being fixed.
c On réduit ainsi l'énergie de manoeuvre en en doublant au minimum, la vitesse de translation du contact mobile par rapport à la vitesse d'actionnement de la tige de manoeuvre.This reduces the maneuvering energy by doubling to a minimum, the speed of translation of the movable contact relative to the speed of actuation of the operating rod.
On précise ici que dans le cadre de l'invention, l'élément « tige de manoeuvre » est l'élément de forme allongée qui est déplacé par la commande de manoeuvre et qui est le plus proche physiquement, parmi tous les moyens mécaniques de manoeuvre, de la chambre de coupure.It is specified here that in the context of the invention, the "operating rod" element is the elongated element which is moved by the operating control and which is the closest physically, among all the mechanical means of maneuvering , of the breaking room.
Lorsque la chambre de coupure selon l'invention comprend un seul contact mobile, c'est-à-dire que lorsque la chambre constitue une chambre à simple mouvement, elle peut être considérée comme une alternative avantageuse à une chambre de coupure à double-mouvement, dans laquelle les deux contacts sont mobiles l'un et l'autre et se déplacent simultanément en sens opposé.When the interrupting chamber according to the invention comprises a single moving contact, that is to say that when the chamber constitutes a single-movement chamber, it can be considered as an advantageous alternative to a double-action interrupting chamber. in which the two contacts are movable one and the other and move simultaneously in opposite directions.
En effet, à vitesse relative entre contacts d'arc identique, une chambre selon l'invention à simple mouvement a une masse mobile inférieure à une chambre à double mouvement selon l'état de l'art, c'est-à-dire avec un des contacts d'arc lié directement à la tige de manoeuvre et donc elle nécessite une énergie de manoeuvre réduite.Indeed, at a relative speed between identical arc contacts, a chamber according to the invention with a simple movement has a moving mass smaller than a double-movement chamber according to the state of the art, that is to say with one of the arc contacts directly connected to the rod of maneuver and therefore it requires reduced maneuvering energy.
Autrement dit, en comparaison avec une chambre à double mouvement selon l'état de l'art, doubler la vitesse du contact d'arc mobile d'une chambre à simple mouvement grâce aux moyens mécaniques de transmission avec la tige de manoeuvre selon l'invention, permet d'avoir une masse mobile réduite et donc d'utiliser une énergie de manoeuvre réduite.In other words, in comparison with a double-movement chamber according to the state of the art, to double the speed of the moving arc contact of a single-movement chamber thanks to the mechanical transmission means with the operating rod according to the invention. invention, allows to have a reduced moving mass and thus to use a reduced maneuvering energy.
En outre, comparativement à la chambre de coupure selon la demande de brevet
On peut en outre réaliser une chambre de coupure à double mouvement avec des moyens de transmission selon l'invention réalisés sur les deux contacts mobiles : on peut ainsi multiplier par six la vitesse de déclenchement des contacts d'arc par rapport à la vitesse initiale imposée sur la tige de manoeuvre. Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de transmission comprennent au moins un système d'engrènement à au moins un pignon, une première crémaillère agencée de manière fixe dans la chambre de coupure et une deuxième crémaillère fixée au contact mobile, la première et deuxième crémaillère étant agencées diamétralement opposées l'une à l'autre par rapport au diamètre du pignon.It is furthermore possible to provide a double-motion interrupting chamber with transmission means according to the invention made on the two moving contacts: the trigger speed of the arcing contacts can thus be multiplied by six with respect to the initial speed imposed. on the operating rod. According to one embodiment, the transmission means comprise at least one meshing system with at least one pinion, a first rack fixedly arranged in the interrupting chamber and a second rack fixed to the moving contact, the first and second rack being arranged diametrically opposite one another with respect to the diameter of the pinion.
L'invention peut être appliquée à une chambre à double mouvement, c'est-à-dire une chambre dans laquelle les deux contacts d'arc sont liés ensemble par des moyens d'accouplement de sorte à être mobiles ensemble en sens opposé.The invention can be applied to a double movement chamber, that is to say a chamber in which the two arc contacts are connected together by coupling means so as to be movable together in opposite directions.
On peut ainsi prévoir de rendre les deux contacts d'arc mobiles. Ces derniers se déplacent en sens opposé et sont indirectement liés à la tige de manoeuvre, avec, en tant que moyens mécaniques de transmission, au moins deux systèmes d'engrènement, l'axe du pignon d'un système étant fixé à la tige de manoeuvre, l'axe du pignon de l'autre système étant fixé à une partie des moyens d'accouplement.It is thus possible to make the two movable arcing contacts. The latter move in the opposite direction and are indirectly connected to the operating rod, with, as mechanical transmission means, at least two meshing systems, the axis of the pinion of a system being fixed to the rod of maneuver, the axis of the pinion of the other system being fixed to a portion of the coupling means.
Avantageusement, les moyens d'accouplement comprennent trois leviers dont un premier est lié au contact d'arc en engrènement avec la tige de manoeuvre, le deuxième levier étant un levier de renvoi du mouvement du premier levier auquel il est articulé, en sens opposé vers un troisième levier auquel il est également articulé, ce troisième levier étant en engrènement avec l'autre contact d'arc par l'intermédiaire du pignon qu'il fixe.Advantageously, the coupling means comprise three levers, one of which is connected to the arc contact meshing with the actuating rod, the second lever being a lever for returning the movement of the first lever to which it is articulated, in the opposite direction to a third lever to which it is also articulated, the third lever being meshing with the other arcing contact via the pinion that it fixes.
Le (s) contact(s) mobile(s) lié(s) indirectement avec la tige manoeuvre peut(peuvent) être sous la forme d'une tulipe et/ou ou sous la forme d'une tige.The mobile contact (s) indirectly linked to the operating rod may be in the form of a tulip and / or in the form of a rod.
L'invention concerne également un disjoncteur à haute ou moyenne tension supérieure, comprenant, pour un pôle, une ou plusieurs chambres de coupure décrites précédemment.The invention also relates to a higher high or medium voltage circuit breaker comprising, for a pole, one or more breaking chambers described above.

Les chambres de coupure de courant 1 pour disjoncteur à moyenne ou haute tension selon l'invention représentées s'étendent selon un axe longitudinal (XX') et comprennent chacune une enveloppe isolante comprenant un gaz isolant diélectrique et dans laquelle sont agencées :
- une paire de contacts permanents 2, 3
dont un 2 est fixe et l'autre 3 est mobile selon l'axe longitudinal (XX') sous l'action d'une tige de manoeuvre auquel il est lié, pour se séparer mutuellement entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle un courant nominal peut circuler à travers et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le courant est interrompu ; - une paire de contacts d'arc 5, 6 dont au moins un est mobile selon l'axe longitudinal (XX') sous l'action de la tige de

- a pair of
permanent contacts 2, 3, one of which is fixed and the other of which is movable along the longitudinal axis (XX ') under the action of an operating rod to which it is connected, to separate one another between a closing position in which a nominal current can flow through and an open position in which the current is interrupted; - a pair of
5, 6 at least one of which is movable along the longitudinal axis (XX ') under the action of the operatingarc contacts rod 4 to which it is connected; the travel in translation of (es) mobile contact (s) being high enough to achieve the power failure regardless of its value and to obtain the dielectric strength of the circuit breaker; - an arc-blowing

Lors de l'ouverture, le gaz présent dans le volume de compression V1 est comprimé par le piston de soufflage 60 solidaire du contact d'arc 6 sous forme de tulipe et du contact permanent 6, et est évacué par le clapet 61 vers le volume de soufflage V2 et contribue par la suite à l'extinction de l'arc électrique. En aval du volume occupé par l'arc, les sections de passage 600, 800 qui sont réalisés respectivement dans le tube du contact d'arc 6 et le tube porte-contact permanent 8 permettent d'évacuer le gaz chaud soufflé depuis la zone d'arc vers la périphérie de la chambre, comme représenté par les flèches incurvées G en
Dans les chambres de coupure selon l'état de l'art, en particulier les chambres de coupure à double-mouvement, la tige de manoeuvre et le(s) contact (s) d'arc mobile (s) et le contact permanent mobile sont liés directement l'un à l'autre, i-e avec un rapport de transmission en translation égal à 1.In break chambers according to the state of the art, in particular the double-action breaking chambers, the operating rod and the moving arc contact (s) and the moving permanent contact are linked directly to each other, ie with a transmission ratio in translation equal to 1.
Pour réduire encore l'énergie de manoeuvre de la chambre de coupure selon l'invention, on prévoit uniquement des moyens mécaniques pour augmenter ce rapport de transmission, c'est-à-dire des moyens permettant d'accélérer la translation du(es) contact(s) d'arc 5, 6 mobile(s) et du contact permanent mobile 6 par rapport à la translation de la tige de manoeuvre 4, et donc d'obtenir un rapport de transmission supérieur à 1.To further reduce the operating energy of the breaking chamber according to the invention, only mechanical means are provided to increase this transmission ratio, that is to say making it possible to accelerate the translation of the movable arc contact (s) 5, 6 and the moving
Tel qu'illustré dans l'ensemble des figures, ces moyens mécaniques d'augmentation du rapport de transmission consistent avantageusement en au moins un système d'engrènement à pignon et double crémaillère rectilignes, dont une est agencée sur un support fixe et l'autre est solidaire du contact d'arc mobile. Chacune des deux crémaillères est en engrènement avec un pignon 41 dont l'axe 410 est fixé sur la tige de manoeuvre 4 (
Le mode de réalisation de la
Plus exactement, pour chaque système, il est prévu une première crémaillère 80 réalisée sur le tube porte-contact permanent fixe 8 dans la chambre de coupure. Un axe 410 est monté en extrémité de la tige de manoeuvre 4 et constitue l'axe de rotation du pignon 41. La deuxième crémaillère 62 est solidaire du contact d'arc mobile 6 sous la forme d'une tulipe et agencée en étant diamétralement opposée avec la première crémaillère 80 par rapport au diamètre du pignon 41.More exactly, for each system, there is provided a
Grâce aux deux systèmes de crémaillères 62, 80 et pignon 41 solidaire de la tige de manoeuvre 4, la vitesse de translation du contact d'arc mobile 6 est doublée par rapport à la vitesse de translation de la tige de manoeuvre 4. Autrement dit, lorsque le pignon 41 est déplacé sur une distance X1 dans la chambre de coupure par la tige de manoeuvre 4, le contact d'arc mobile 6 se déplace pendant le même laps de temps sur une double distance 2X1, ce qui double sa vitesse de translation.Thanks to the two

Autrement dit, lorsque le pignon 41 est déplacé sur une distance X1 dans la chambre de coupure par la tige de manoeuvre 4, le contact d'arc et permanent 3, 5 se déplace pendant le même laps de temps sur une double distance 2X1, ce qui double sa vitesse de translation.Thanks to such a system of
Pour assurer la continuité électrique entre le contact d'amenée 12 du courant nominal depuis l'extérieur de la chambre et le contact d'arc et permanent mobile 2, on peut prévoir un élargissement de section 31 sur le contact d'arc et permanent 3, 5. On prévoit en outre de conformer le contact d'amenée sous la forme d'une tulipe 120. Lors d'une manoeuvre, la tulipe 120 coulisse alors sur l'élargissement de section 31 du contact 3, 5.To ensure the electrical continuity between the

Par conséquent, la distance relative entre le contact d'arc sous forme d'une tulipe 6 et le contact d'arc sous forme de tige 5 est égal à six fois (6X1) la distance de manoeuvre X1 réalisée par la tige de manoeuvre 4.Consequently, the relative distance between the arc contact in the form of a
Autrement dit, grâce à l'invention, on peut dans une chambre de coupure à double mouvement, multiplier par six la vitesse de manoeuvre entre contacts d'arc. Autrement dit encore, on peut, grâce à l'invention, multiplier la vitesse de déclenchement des contacts d'arc 5, 6 dans un rapport de 6 :1 par rapport à la vitesse initiale imposée sur la tige de manoeuvre 4.In other words, thanks to the invention, it is possible in a double-action breaking chamber to multiply by six the operating speed between arcing contacts. In other words, it is possible, thanks to the invention, to multiply the triggering speed of the arcing

De l'autre côté de la chambre de coupure, c'est-à-dire du côté du contact permanent fixe 2 est agencée de manière fixe dans la chambre, une pièce supplémentaire formant entretoise 21 dont la fonction est double. Elle assure à la fois de guidage avec les bandes de guidage 10 du contact mobile 5 lors de sa translation à l'ouverture sur toute sa course et la déviation des gaz chauds évacués de la zone de coupure vers les ouvertures 200 prévues à cet effet à la périphérie dans le tube permanent fixe 2.On the other side of the interrupting chamber, that is to say on the fixed

D'autres améliorations peuvent être prévues sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Other improvements may be provided without departing from the scope of the invention.
Si dans les modes illustrés, la première crémaillère est agencée dans la partie intérieure du support fixe, on peut prévoir de la réaliser sur la partie extérieure. Dans ce cas, le contact d'arc est réalisé de manière que le pignon s'engrène entre cette partie supérieure du support fixe et une partie inférieure d'un tube cylindrique supplémentaire relié à la tige de manoeuvre.If in the illustrated modes, the first rack is arranged in the inner part of the fixed support, it can be provided to realize it on the outer part. In this case, the arcing contact is made so that the pinion meshes between this upper part of the fixed support and a lower part of an additional cylindrical tube connected to the operating rod.
Comme représenté dans les modes des
On peut prévoir de réaliser un contact sous forme de tulipe et le support d'une crémaillère en une seule pièce, ce qui peut faciliter le montage.Provision can be made to make a contact in the form of a tulip and the support of a rack in one piece, which can facilitate assembly.
Lors d'une manoeuvre d'ouverture ou de fermeture de la chambre de coupure selon l'invention, la translation des contacts d'arc 5, 6 est prévue pour s'effectuer selon l'axe XX' de la chambre de coupure. Pour compenser toute déviation légère de la tige de manoeuvre 4 par rapport à l'axe longitudinal XX', on peut prévoir d'agencer des bandes de guidage de part et d'autre de la tige de manoeuvre 4 et le cas échéant du contact d'arc mobile, comme référencées 10 sur les
