Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker-type electrical line protection device formed by two separate blocks, namely a breaking block and a magneto-thermal or electronic trip unit.
  • Each block is likely to be tested independently of the other block during their manufacture. Once assembled, the two blocks work together.
  • a significant advantage with a device formed by two separate blocks lies in the fact of being able to associate trigger blocks of different calibres with the same breaking block. This makes it possible to form devices of different ranges from the same base.
  • WO 2011/109497 discloses the assembly of two blocks in a single assembly direction, but holding in position before assembly is not firm because it is made in the same direction as the assembly direction. In addition, other blocks are added to form the entire circuit breaker, the complete assembly is therefore long to achieve.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages. To do this, it has means for fixing and electrically connecting the two blocks in a very simple and fast manner. This specific design allows for example to make the assembly of each block in a place equipped with adequate production means, and rapid final assembly of the two blocks in a place near the point of sale of the device so as to configure the products for the target market.
  • the cut-off block constitutes the upper block of the apparatus in the position of use, whereas the magnetothermic or electronic trip block constitutes the lower block.
  • the apparatus thus has a front panel from which a control lever protrudes, a rear panel for fixing the device in the use position in the cabinet, upper and lower faces comprising devices for connection to the network and to the line (s) to protect.
  • the apparatus comprises means for guiding and holding in assembly position of the blocks.
  • said means for guiding and holding in assembly position of the blocks are constituted at least in part by said electrical connection means.
  • the assembly of the apparatus is thus very simple. It is not necessary to combine different movements to assemble the blocks, a single movement in a single assembly direction aided by the guiding and holding means in the assembly position is sufficient to relatively position and hold them properly in position before joining them.
  • the relative positioning of the two blocks must be accurate at the time of their nesting and the two blocks must then be maintained in this precise position during the connection phases electrical and mechanical fixing.
  • These guiding and holding means in position thus fulfill two functions: the guiding function of one block with respect to the other during the interlocking phase, and the holding function in the assembly position by blocking in the three directions during the phases of electrical connection and mechanical fastening.
  • connection screw per current line is sufficient.
  • this clamping screw cooperates with a nut embedded in the bumper element.
  • the bumper element is in the shape of an inverted U whose branches form abutments preventing the displacement of said guide element, inserted in the bumper element, in the second direction perpendicular to the assembly direction, the base of the U having the nut drowned.
  • the mechanical means for fixing the blocks are also very simple to implement. They consist of at least one fixing screw adapted to be inserted successively into an orifice of each block in the assembly direction and to cooperate with a clamping element, said orifices facing each other in the assembly position of the apparatus .
  • the clamping element consists of an embedded nut or a tapping made in the last hole through which the fastening screw passes during its insertion.
  • the mechanical fixing of the blocks is therefore extremely simple, and can be performed using a single tool.
  • the apparatus may also comprise means for mechanically stiffening the blocks consisting of at least one stud projecting from a block and able to fit into a recess provided for this purpose in the opposite block. These stiffening means make it possible to compensate for the operating clearances resulting from mechanical fixing by screwing.
  • the apparatus (1) is shown in the use position, with the cutoff block (2) at the top, and the trigger block (3) at the bottom.
  • the protection device (1) is therefore controlled by a control lever (4) protruding from the front panel (5) of the device (1) provided with a cover.
  • the back cover (6) clings to a plate of an electrical distribution box.
  • the upper face (7) of the apparatus (1) has upstream terminals (16) for electrical connection to the network, and the lower face (8) has downstream terminals (17) for electrical connection to the electrical lines to be protected (see figure 3 ).
  • the figure 2 shows the two separate blocks (2, 3) composing the apparatus (1). These blocks (2, 3) are assembled in the assembly direction (X).
  • Guiding and holding means in the assembly position are provided in order to fit the two blocks (2, 3) and position them correctly before fixing them.
  • These guiding and holding means in assembly position consist, for each pole, in a lug (9) protruding from the cutoff block (2), and surmounted by an inverted U-shaped bumper element (12), and in two guiding elements (10, 11) projecting from the trigger block (3).
  • the tab (9) is inserted between the two guide elements (10, 11) in the assembly direction (X) and simultaneously, the first guide element (10) is inserted into the bumper element (12).
  • the two blocks (2, 3) are thus nested one inside the other and locked in both directions perpendicular to the assembly direction (X). Indeed, the base and the branches of the U of the bumper element (12) prevent any movement of the tab (9) and the guide element (10) in both directions perpendicular to the assembly direction (X ).
  • a clamping screw (13) adapted to fit into an orifice provided in the tab (9) and in each of the two guide elements ( 10, 11) clamps the lug (9) and the two guide elements (10, 11) against the base of the bumper element (12), as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
  • breaking block (2) it is necessary to electrically connect the breaking block (2) to the tripping block (3), so as to distribute the network current arriving at the breaking block (2) via the upstream terminal (16) connected to the contact. fixed (15) to the lines to be protected at the output of the trip unit (3) via the downstream terminal (17).
  • this electrical connection is made simultaneously with the positioning of the blocks (2, 3) and their holding in assembly position.
  • the lug (9) protruding from the breaking block (2) corresponds in fact to a terminal (9) for electrical connection of the breaking block (2) to which is connected the movable contact (14) via a ground braid (not shown)
  • the first guiding element (10) of the tripping block (3) corresponds to a terminal (10) for electrical connection of the tripping block (3) connected to means of connection to the downstream terminal (17) while the second element guide (11) of the tripping block (3) corresponds to a portion of a magnetic yoke (11) surrounding the terminal (10).
  • the tightening screw (13) enables the terminal (9) of the breaking block (2) to be brought into contact with the terminal (10) of the trip unit (3), and thus the electrical connection between the two blocks (2). , 3).
  • the tightening of the screw (13) is effected by means of an embedded nut (not shown) in the base of the bumper element (12).
  • the final phase of the assembly is to mechanically fix a block to the other, by means of fixing screws.
  • the fixing is carried out by two screws (18) in the vicinity of the front panel (5) of the device (1), as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 , and two screws (19) in the vicinity of the back cover (6) of the apparatus (1) as visible in figure 5 .
  • the two screws (18) are arranged on either side of the lever (4) of the handle, and are introduced into orifices (20) provided for this purpose in the cutoff block (2), then each reach a nut embedded in an orifice (24) (visible in figure 2 ) of the tripping block (3) for their tightening.
  • the two screws (19) are introduced into holes (21) provided for this purpose in the trigger block (3), then reach each an embedded nut (not shown) in a hole (25) of the cutoff block (2) for clamping.
  • Rigidification means are also present in the apparatus. They consist of two pins (22) projecting from the cutoff block (2) and able to fit into two recesses (23) provided for this purpose in the tripping block (3).
