Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en perspective illustrant un ensemble selon une réalisation particulière de l'invention comportant un contacteur associé à un module auxiliaire de signalisation de l'état ouvert ou fermé du contacteur,
  • La figure 1a est une vue similaire à la figure 1, illustrant le contacteur et le module auxiliaire séparément,
  • La figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure précédente, illustrant un ensemble selon une seconde réalisation de l'invention, dans lequel l'auxiliaire de signalisation est remplacé par un élément formant un enjoliveur,
  • La figure 3 est une vue en perspective illustrant un ensemble selon la première réalisation de l'invention monté au côté d'un certain nombre d'appareils de départ sur un rail de montage, les appareils étant reliés électriquement au moyen d'un peigne standard,
  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un module auxiliaire seul,
  • La figure 5 est une vue en plan, illustrant la partie intérieure d'un tel module auxiliaire.
However, other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example and in which:
  • The figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating an assembly according to a particular embodiment of the invention comprising a contactor associated with an auxiliary module for signaling the open or closed state of the contactor,
  • The figure 1a is a view similar to figure 1 , showing the contactor and the auxiliary module separately,
  • The figure 2 is a view similar to the previous figure, illustrating an assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention, in which the signaling auxiliary is replaced by an element forming a cover,
  • The figure 3 is a perspective view illustrating an assembly according to the first embodiment of the invention mounted alongside a number of starting devices on a mounting rail, the devices being electrically connected by means of a standard comb,
  • The figure 4 is a perspective view of a single auxiliary module,
  • The figure 5 is a plan view illustrating the interior part of such an auxiliary module.

Sur la figure 1, on voit un ensemble E comportant de manière connue en soi, un contacteur 1 du type tétra polaire associé à un module auxiliaire de signalisation 2, le tout étant destiné à être monté sur un rail de montage.On the figure 1 , we see an assembly E comprising in a manner known per se, a contactor 1 of the tetra-polar type associated with an auxiliary signaling module 2, the whole being intended to be mounted on a mounting rail.

Ce contacteur 1 et ce module auxiliaire 2 sont montés chacun dans un boîtier 3,4, l'ensemble des deux boîtiers réunis lors de l'association présentant une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique.This contactor 1 and this auxiliary module 2 are each mounted in a housing 3, 4, the assembly of the two housings brought together during association having a substantially parallelepipedal shape.

Ce contacteur 1 comporte d'un côté du rail de montage, un ensemble 5 de bornes de raccordement dit premier, destiné à permettre le raccordement électrique du contacteur 1 à des appareils de départ D destinés à être montés à droite du contacteur, et de l'autre côté du rail, un ensemble 6 de bornes de raccordement dit second, destinées à être reliées électriquement à des câbles d'alimentation électrique, ce contacteur étant donc du type alimenté par le bas.This contactor 1 comprises on one side of the mounting rail, a set 5 of so-called first connection terminals, intended to allow the electrical connection of the contactor 1 to starting devices D intended to be mounted to the right of the contactor, and of the 'other side of the rail, a set 6 of said second connection terminals, intended to be electrically connected to power supply cables, this contactor therefore being of the type supplied from below.

Conformément à l'invention, les bornes de l'ensemble 5 de bornes dit premier, présentent un pas leur permettant d'être raccordées à un peigne de raccordement P dit standard du type tétra polaire, tandis que les bornes de l'ensemble 6 de raccordement dit second, présentent un pas propre à celui des contacteurs, c'est-à-dire ne permettant pas d'être raccordées à un peigne de raccordement P de type standard.In accordance with the invention, the terminals of the set 5 of said first terminals have a pitch allowing them to be connected to a so-called standard connecting comb P of the tetra-polar type, while the terminals of the set 6 of so-called second connection, have a pitch specific to that of the contactors, that is to say, not allowing them to be connected to a standard type P connection comb.

Ainsi, cette partie de raccordement R comportant l'ensemble 5 de bornes de raccordement dit premier, comporte une première borne de neutre 7 destinée à recevoir une première dent de neutre du peigne P, puis trois bornes de phase 8,9,10 destinées à recevoir respectivement trois dents de phase p du peigne P, avec entre deux bornes de phases successives, un évidement e destiné à recevoir une dent de neutre n du peigne P, ledit peigne comportant de manière connue en soi un ensemble de dents de phase p consécutives avec interposition d'une dent de neutre n entre deux dents de phase p successives.Thus, this connection part R comprising the set 5 of so-called first connection terminals, comprises a first neutral terminal 7 intended to receive a first neutral tooth of the comb P, then three phase terminals 8,9,10 intended for respectively receive three phase teeth p of comb P, with between two terminals of successive phases, a recess e intended to receive a neutral tooth n of comb P, said comb comprising in a manner known per se a set of teeth of consecutive p phase with the interposition of a neutral n tooth between two successive p phase teeth.

Afin de permettre ce raccordement à un peigne standard P, la partie de raccordement R dite première, comportant l'ensemble 5 de bornes dit premier, présente une largeur supérieure à la largeur de la partie de raccordement dite seconde S logeant les bornes de l'ensemble 6 de bornes dit second, de telle manière que cette première partie de raccordement R s'étende au-delà de la face de raccordement a du boîtier 3 du contacteur 1 destinée à être accolée au module auxiliaire 2. Ainsi, le boîtier 3 du contacteur 1, dit premier, présente un évidement i de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique destiné à recevoir le boîtier dit second 4 de forme correspondante appartenant au module auxiliaire 2, ce boîtier dit second prenant appui sur le boîtier 3 du contacteur 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une part, d'une face latérale b apte à être amenée en contact avec la face latérale a située du même côté appartenant au contacteur 1, et d'autre part, d'une face dite supérieure c apte à être amenée en contact avec une face interne d située en regard du rail U, appartenant à la première partie de raccordement R du contacteur.In order to allow this connection to a standard comb P, the so-called first connection part R, comprising the assembly 5 of said first terminals, has a width greater than the width of the so-called second connection part S housing the terminals of the set 6 of said second terminals, in such a way that this first connection part R extends beyond the connection face a of the housing 3 of the contactor 1 intended to be attached to the auxiliary module 2. Thus, the housing 3 of the Contactor 1, said first, has a recess i of substantially parallelepiped shape intended to receive the said second housing 4 of corresponding shape belonging to the auxiliary module 2, this said second housing resting on the housing 3 of the contactor 1 by means of on the one hand, a side face b adapted to be brought into contact with the lateral face a located on the same side belonging to the contactor 1, and on the other hand, a so-called upper face c able to be brought into contact with ec an internal face d located opposite the U rail, belonging to the first connection part R of the contactor.

Ainsi, l'on voit que le module auxiliaire 2 ne comporte des bornes de raccordement que d'un côté du rail de montage U.Thus, it can be seen that the auxiliary module 2 has connection terminals only on one side of the mounting rail U.

Avantageusement, l'ensemble ainsi constitué présente une largeur de 63 mm, la partie inférieure de cet ensemble correspondant à celle d'un ensemble selon l'art antérieur, seule la partie supérieure de cet ensemble étant différente de manière à permettre le raccordement électrique des bornes aval de l'appareil 1 à un peigne standard P.Advantageously, the assembly thus formed has a width of 63 mm, the lower part of this assembly corresponding to that of an assembly according to the prior art, only the upper part of this assembly being different so as to allow the electrical connection of the devices. terminals downstream of the device 1 to a standard comb P.

Dans cette réalisation particulière de l'invention, le module auxiliaire 2 est un module de signalisation de l'état ouvert ou fermé de l'appareil modulaire électrique 1 lequel est un contacteur électrique.In this particular embodiment of the invention, the auxiliary module 2 is a signaling module for the open or closed state of the modular electrical device 1 which is an electrical contactor.

Selon une autre réalisation de l'invention illustrée sur la figure 2, cet ensemble E selon l'invention comporte en lieu et place du module auxiliaire de signalisation 2, une pièce formant un enjoliveur 14, destinée à remplacer ce modulaire auxiliaire 2 lorsqu'aucun modulaire auxiliaire n'est destiné à être utilisé. Cette pièce est constituée par un boîtier 15 présentant sensiblement la même forme que celle du module auxiliaire précité 2, et est apte à être placé dans l'évidement précité i de telle manière que l'encombrement du contacteur 1 ne soit pas augmenté, comme ceci est déjà le cas lorsqu'un module auxiliaire est associé au contacteur.According to another embodiment of the invention illustrated on figure 2 , this assembly E according to the invention comprises instead of the auxiliary signaling module 2, a part forming a cover 14, intended to replace this auxiliary modular 2 when no auxiliary modular is intended for to be used. This part is constituted by a housing 15 having substantially the same shape as that of the aforementioned auxiliary module 2, and is suitable for being placed in the aforementioned recess i such that the size of the contactor 1 is not increased, like this is already the case when an auxiliary module is associated with the contactor.

Sur la figure 3, l'on voit un ensemble comportant, montés sur même un rail de montage U, un contacteur 1 auquel a été associé à droite, un module auxiliaire de signalisation 2, cet ensemble étant destiné à être alimenté par le bas au moyen de câbles, et étant destiné à être relié électriquement en aval à un certain nombre d'appareils de départ D tels des disjoncteurs ou autres, au moyen d'un peigne de raccordement tripolaire et neutre standard P.On the figure 3 , we see an assembly comprising, mounted on the same mounting rail U, a contactor 1 which has been associated on the right, an auxiliary signaling module 2, this assembly being intended to be supplied from below by means of cables, and being intended to be electrically connected downstream to a certain number of starting devices D such as circuit breakers or others, by means of a standard three-pole and neutral connection comb P.

Sur les figures 4 et 5, l'on voit que le module auxiliaire de signalisation 2 est logé dans un boîtier 4 présentant une face f comportant un évidement g permettant le montage du boîtier sur le rail U, le module auxiliaire 2 étant destiné à être fixé sur le boîtier 3 du contacteur 1. Ce boîtier 4 comporte une partie de raccordement T comportant trois bornes 11,12,13 situées d'un côté de l'évidement précité g, ces bornes étant présentées de manière étagée, de manière à faciliter le raccordement.On the figures 4 and 5 , it can be seen that the auxiliary signaling module 2 is housed in a housing 4 having a face f comprising a recess g allowing the housing to be mounted on the U rail, the auxiliary module 2 being intended to be fixed on the housing 3 of the contactor 1. This housing 4 comprises a connection part T comprising three terminals 11, 12, 13 located on one side of the aforementioned recess g, these terminals being presented in a stepped manner, so as to facilitate connection.

Ces trois bornes, respectivement première, seconde et troisième, sont destinées à être reliées électriquement respectivement à un moyen de signalisation de l'état ouvert de l'appareil modulaire électrique, à un moyen d'alimentation électrique, et à un moyen de signalisation de l'état fermé de l'appareil modulaire, ces différents moyens n'étant pas représentés sur ces figures.These three terminals, respectively first, second and third, are intended to be electrically connected respectively to a signaling means of the open state of the modular electrical device, to an electrical supply means, and to a signaling means of the closed state of the modular apparatus, these various means not being shown in these figures.

Ce boîtier dit second 4 renferme deux circuits électriques 16,17 comportant chacun un interrupteur 18,19, le premier 16 de ces circuits étant relié à l'une de ses extrémités, à la borne dite première 11 et à son autre extrémité, à la borne dite seconde 12, alors que le second circuit 17 est relié par l'une de ses extrémités, à la borne dite troisième 13 et par son autre extrémité à la borne dite seconde 12,This so-called second housing 4 contains two electrical circuits 16,17 each comprising a switch 18,19, the first 16 of these circuits being connected at one of its ends, to the so-called first terminal 11 and at its other end, to the said second terminal 12, while the second circuit 17 is connected by one of its ends, to the so-called third terminal 13 and by its other end to the so-called second terminal 12,

Ce boîtier dit second 4 renferme également un moyen de transmission 20 du mouvement de l'arbre porte-contacts du contacteur 1 au module auxiliaire 2, ce moyen de transmission comportant un support 21 monté coulissant par rapport au boîtier dit second 4 et apte à actionner les deux interrupteurs 18,19 de manière que lorsque les contacts du contacteur sont fermés, l'interrupteur 19 du second circuit 17 soit fermé alors que l'interrupteur 18 du premier circuit 16 est ouvert, et que lorsque les contacts du contacteur sont ouverts, l'interrupteur 18 du premier circuit 16 soit ouvert alors que celui 19 du second circuit 17 soit fermé. Ce support 21 est avantageusement formé par deux flasques 22,23 solidarisés l'un à l'autre par l'intermédiaire de traverses 24 réparties sur la longueur des flasques, lesdites traverses 24 étant aptes à coopérer avec les interrupteurs 18,19, ce support 21 étant relié mécaniquement à l'arbre précité.This so-called second housing 4 also contains means 20 for transmitting the movement of the contact-carrier shaft from the contactor 1 to the auxiliary module 2, this transmission means comprising a support 21 mounted to slide relative to the said second housing 4 and capable of actuating the two switches 18,19 so that when the contactor contacts are closed, the switch 19 of the second circuit 17 is closed while the switch 18 of the first circuit 16 is open, and that when the contactor contacts are open, switch 18 of the first circuit 16 is open while that 19 of the second circuit 17 is closed. This support 21 is advantageously formed by two flanges 22,23 secured to one another by means of cross members 24 distributed over the length of the flanges, said cross members 24 being able to cooperate with the switches 18,19, this support 21 being mechanically connected to the aforementioned shaft.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, un module auxiliaire 2 peut être associé à droite d'un contacteur modulaire 1 de manière à signaler la position ouverte ou fermée du contacteur 1. Ce module auxiliaire après association, n'augmente pas l'encombrement du contacteur 1 auquel il est associé et permet le raccordement des appareils de départ D par un peigne P à l'aval du contacteur 1.Thus, thanks to the invention, an auxiliary module 2 can be associated to the right of a modular contactor 1 so as to signal the open or closed position of contactor 1. This auxiliary module, after association, does not increase the size of the unit. contactor 1 with which it is associated and allows the connection of the outgoing devices D by a comb P downstream of contactor 1.

Cet auxiliaire de signalisation 2 de l'état des contacts est associable avantageusement à droite des contacteurs 1, après avoir retiré l'enjoliveur 14. Ces contacteurs sont avantageusement du type tripolaire ou tétra polaire. Cependant, il pourrait être envisagé d'appliquer l'invention à un contacteur comportant deux pôles et deux bornes, le peigne étant dans ce cas du type phase et neutre.This signaling auxiliary 2 of the state of the contacts can be combined advantageously to the right of the contactors 1, after having removed the cover 14. These contactors are advantageously of the three-pole or tetra-polar type. However, it could be envisaged to apply the invention to a contactor comprising two poles and two terminals, the comb being in this case of the phase and neutral type.

L'invention s'applique avantageusement à tout équipement, tel un tableau électrique, intégrant des contacteurs modulaires tête de groupe.The invention advantageously applies to any equipment, such as an electrical panel, integrating modular group head contactors.

Ce nouveau contacteur conserve la possibilité d'être raccordé par câbles à l'amont et l'aval.This new contactor retains the possibility of being connected by cables upstream and downstream.

Ce dispositif ne modifie pas le principe de fonctionnement des contacteurs actuels. Les moyens de mesure, contrôle, vérification et validation seront les mêmes que ceux du contacteur actuel.This device does not modify the operating principle of current contactors. The means of measurement, control, verification and validation will be the same as those of the current contactor.
