Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to motor operators for circuit breakers. More specifically, the present invention provides a mounting bracket for the motor of a motor operator, adapted to permit use of the mounting bracket with different motors by merely changing the orientation of the mounting bracket within the motor operator housing.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Circuit breakers are frequently actuated remotely, by securing a motor operator over the face of the circuit breaker, so that the motor operator can actuate the circuit breaker. A typical motor operator includes an electric motor, operatively connected through a system of gears to a threaded rod. A sliding actuator is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, so that rotation of the threaded rod causes the sliding actuator to reciprocate back and forth. The sliding actuator fits over the circuit breaker's operating handle, so that movement of the actuator moves the operating handle. A kill/toggle switch at each end of the sliding actuator's range of travel shuts off the current, and reverses the direction of current that will be supplied to the motor, upon being depressed by the sliding actuator. A printed circuit board will typically contain the motor operator's control circuitry.
- When the user transmits a signal to close the circuit breaker, the control circuitry will supply current to the motor, thereby rotating the threaded shaft to slide the sliding actuator from one end of its range of travel to the other, thereby moving the circuit breaker's operating handle, and closing the circuit breaker. Upon reaching the end of its range of travel wherein the circuit breaker is closed, the sliding actuator hits the toggle switch at that location, thereby shutting off current to the motor, and reversing the direction of current to the motor. When the user transmits a signal to open the circuit breaker, the control circuit will again supply current to the motor, thereby moving the sliding actuator to the opposite end of its range of travel, moving the circuit breaker's operating handle to its open position. As before, when the sliding actuator reaches the position wherein the circuit breaker is open, it strikes a kill/toggle switch, shutting off current to the motor, and reversing the direction of current flow to the motor.
- Depending on the specific application for which the motor operator will be used, a different size or type of motor may be selected. To reduce the costs associated with maintaining component inventories, and assembling the motor operators, it is desirable that as many other components as possible remain the same even if a different sized motor is used. Accordingly, there is a need for a mounting bracket for motors within a motor operator capable of being used to secure more than one type of motor within the motor operator.
- The present invention provides a mounting bracket for supporting the motor within a motor operator, capable of being used with two different motors by merely switching the orientation of the mounting bracket.
- The mounting bracket of the present invention includes a pair of flanges joined together at a substantially perpendicular angle to each other. Each flange of the bracket includes a motor aperture, at least one motor screw aperture, and at least one mounting screw hole. More preferably, the mounting bracket includes a pair of motor screw apertures on each side of the motor aperture, and a pair of mounting screw holes. Each flange also includes an outside face, facing away from the opposing flange, and an inside face, facing towards the opposing flange. The outside face of each flange includes at least one, and preferably at least a pair, of locating pegs, dimensioned and configured to fit within apertures within the floor of the motor operator's housing. The mounting bracket will preferably have a difference in height between the motor aperture within its first flange and the motor aperture within its second flange. Preferred embodiments will also include a different shape and location of locator peg on the outside face of each flange.
- To mount a first size motor within the motor operator housing, the locator pegs on the second flange are inserted into the housing floor, so that the first flange will support the motor. Likewise, to install second type of motor within the motor operator housing, the locator pegs on the first flange are inserted into the corresponding apertures within the bottom of the housing, so that the second flange of the bracket is supporting the motor. The motor is then secured within the bracket, and the bracket is secured within the housing.

- FIGS.1-4 illustrate a
motor operator 10 mounted on theface 12 of acircuit breaker 14. Themotor operator 10 includes ahousing 16 having abase 18,mounting bracket 20, andcover 22. Thebase 18 is hingedly secured to themounting bracket 20, which is in turn secured to theface 12 of thecircuit breaker 14 by means well known in the art of circuit breakers, for example, screws passing through theapertures 24. Thebase 18 also includes alifting tab 26, for lifting the hingedly securedbase 18 away from themounting bracket 20 to provide manual control of thecircuit breaker 14. Thehousing 16 of themotor operator 10 also includes acover 22, which, in conjunction with thebase 18, fully encloses themotor operator 10. - Referring to FIGS.2-4, the
motor operator 10 includes amotor 28, which in the present example is anelectrical motor 28 secured between onewall 30 of thebase 18 and themotor bracket 32. Ascrew shaft 34 extends between thewall 30 andwall 36 of thebase 18, being rotatably secured within theapertures 35 therein at either end. Gear 38 is located at one end of thescrew shaft 34, with thegear 38 operatively engaging a corresponding gear that is driven by themotor 28, so that thescrew shaft 34 is thereby driven by themotor 32. Asliding actuator 40 includes anupper portion 42 that is threadedly connected to thescrew shaft 34, and alower portion 44 that engages theoperating handle 46 of thecircuit breaker 14. A kill/toggle switch is located at either end of the range of travel of thesliding actuator 40. The kill/toggle switches, which are not shown but are well known in the art, when actuated by thesliding actuator 40, will simultaneously shut off current to themotor 28, and reverse the direction of current through themotor 28. The flow of current through themotor 28 is further controlled through the printedcircuit board 48, and its associated signal processing circuitry (well known in the art). - The
motor operator 10 will typically be used to remotely control the operation of thecircuit breaker 14. When the user transmits a signal to close thecircuit breaker 14, the control circuitry within thePC board 48 will supply current to themotor 28, thereby rotating thescrew shaft 34 to move the slidingactuator 40 from one end of its range of travel to the other, thereby moving the circuit breaker'soperating handle 46, and closing thecircuit breaker 14. Upon reaching the end of its range of travel wherein thecircuit breaker 14 is closed, thesliding actuator 40 hits the kill/toggle switch at that location, thereby shutting off current to themotor 28, and reversing the direction of current to themotor 28. When the user opens thecircuit breaker 14, the control circuit within thePC board 48 will again supply current to themotor 28, thereby moving thesliding actuator 40 to the opposite end of its range of travel along thescrew shaft 34, moving the circuit breaker'soperating handle 46 to the open position. As before, when a slidingactuator 40 reaches the position wherein the circuit breaker is open, it strikes a kill/toggle switch, shutting off current to themotor 28, and also reversing the direction of current flow to themotor 28. - Although it may be desirable to use
different motors 28 withindifferent motor operators 10, it is desirable to use as many of the same components withindifferent motor operators 10 as possible. For example, abracket 32 according to the present invention may accommodate two different motors. Referring to FIGS. 5-6, thebracket 32 includes afirst flange 50, substantially perpendicular to asecond flange 52. A joint orcorner 54 separates thefirst flange 50 andsecond flange 52. Thefirst flange 50 includes amotor aperture 56, and asecond flange 52 includes amotor aperture 58. In many preferred embodiments themotor aperture 56 andmotor aperture 58 will be located different distances from the joint 54. In the illustrated example, themotor aperture 58 is further from the joint 54 than themotor aperture 56. Eachflange motor screw apertures 60, adapted to permit securing amotor 28 to theappropriate flange flange bracket mounting apertures 62, dimensioned and configured to permit the use of screws or other fastening hardware to secure themotor bracket 32 to thehousing 16. Thefirst flange 50 includes at least one, and preferably a pair, of locator pins 64. Likewise, thesecond flange 52 includes at least, and more preferably a pair, of locator pins 66. In some preferred embodiments, the locator pins 64 will be a different shape and/or offset from the location of the locator pins 66. Alternatively, the locator pins 64 may, in some preferred embodiments, be located a different distance from the joint 54 than the locator pins 66. In the illustrated example, the locator pins 64 are square, and adjacent to the edge of thefirst flange 50, while the locator pins 66 are round, and spaced from the edge of thesecond flange 52. - FIGS.7-8 illustrate the use of the mounting
bracket 32 in the orientation of FIG. 6, with onealternative motor 28. Thebracket 32 is first oriented so that the locator pins 64 are properly aligned with the locator pin holes 68 in thehousing 16. Next, themotor 28 is secured to thebracket 32 by passing thedrive shaft 72 and/or gear through themotor aperture 58, securing themotor 28 therein by passing screws or other mounting hardware through themotor screw apertures 60, and finally placing the locator pins 64 within the locator pin holes 68, and fastening thebracket 32 to thehousing 16 through the use of screws passing through both the mountingapertures 62 and the mountingapertures 70 on thehousing 16. The opposite end of the motor will then be supported by thehousing wall 30, possibly utilizing themotor support aperture 74. - Referring to FIGS.9-10, the
bracket 32 is illustrated in the orientation of FIG. 5, so that it may be used with analternative motor 28 a. Thebracket 32 is first oriented so that the locator pins 66 are aligned with thelocator pin apertures 76 within thehousing 16. Themotor 28 a is secured to theflange 50, by passing thedrive shaft 72 through theaperture 56, and by passing screws or other fasteners through themotor screw apertures 60. The location pins 66 are then placed in thelocator pinholes 76, and screws or other fasteners are passed through the mountingapertures 62, and the mountingapertures 70 within thehousing 16. The motor is then supported between thebracket 32 and theaperture 74 of thewall 30 of thehousing 16. - Upon reading the above-description, several potential advantages of a
bracket 32 of the present invention become apparent. For example, the same bracket may be utilized withmotors 28 of different widths or diameters by using abracket 32 wherein one of theapertures other aperture bracket 32 may be utilized with motors having different lengths within the same housing by placing theholes 68 corresponding to the locator pins 64 in one location, and placing theholes 76 corresponding to thepins 66 in another location. The proper orientation of thebracket 32 may thereby be keyed to the distance between thebracket 32 and thewall 30. As another alternative, ifdifferent motors 28 are utilized withdifferent housings 16, thehousing 16 may contain either the locator pin holes 68, or the locator pin holes 76, thereby ensuring that thebracket 32 may be placed within thehousing 16 only in the manner appropriate to support themotor 28 used with thatparticular housing 16. Thebracket 32 of the present invention thereby not only provides onebracket 32 that may be utilized with twodifferent motors 28, but also provides a means for ensuring that themotor operator 10 can only be assembled with thebracket 32 in its proper orientation for that application. - While a specific embodiment of the invention has been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any and all equivalents thereof.
