corporation of Qhio- This invention relates to electrical switches adapted for high speed operations in making or breaking electric circuits, and particularly relates to a rotary type of electrical switch.
An object of the invention is to provide a circu-itbreaker or electric switch of the commutator type wherein it is not essential for contacts to open and close, but rather electric circuit is made through a sliding type of contact arrange ment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a rotary circuit breaker having an infinite ad j-ustment in the current breaking or current carrying period from substantially zero to a maximum determinedby the arcuatesegment of either the current conducting or current insulating segments of the circuit breaker.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved rotary circuit breaker that is simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture and will have a long life;
Further objects and advantages will become apparent from the drawings and the following description.
the drawings:
Figure l is across-sectional view illustrating the circuit breaker of this invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 33' of Figure 1'.
Figure 4* is a perspective diagrammatic showing of the contact segments of the circuit breaker illustrated in Figures 1 to 3.
Figure 5- is a cross-sectional view of a modified arrangement of the circuit breaker shown in Figure 1.
Figure 6 is a cross-sectionalview of another modified arrangement of the circuit breaker illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure '7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 11 of Figure 6.
In- Figures l to 3' there is illustrated a rotary circuit breaker adapted for high speed circuit breaking operation. This device consists of a housing In that has a pair of parallel arms I l and I2 therein. A cover I3 closes the housing.
The housing has a pair of end caps l4 and I5 each of which carries a sealed anti-friction bearing l6 and I1, respectively. The end caps are secured to the housing by cap screws [8".
A drive shaft 20" is journal'ed in the bearings l6 and [:1; This drive shaft is adapted tobe powered in any suitable manner" either inde pendently of a mechanism to be controlled or" by a mechanism to be controlled, depending upon the nature of the control to be obtained, by operation of the circuit breaker.
The drive shatt. 2.0 has an enlargement- 2| thereon preferably shaped in the form. of a hexagonali head upon which. a suitable wrench can be applied. The opposite end of. the drive shaft 20 receives a friction locking nut 22 which holds the circuit-carrying elements of the circuit breaker irr predetermined positions.
The circuit breaking elements of the circuit breaker consist of cooperating pairs of current conducting rings 25 and: 26. In Figure 1 there are illustrated two pairs of current conducting rings, but since. they are both: constructed in a like manner; only one: of them will be described.
The current conducting ring 25' consists of a current conducting segment 28 and. an electrical insulalt'ing segment 29 These segments 28 and 29 are mounted on an electricalv insulating carrying ring 30. It will be noted that the current conducting segment and. the electrical insulating segment of the current conducting ring 25 each equal: approximately of circumference of the ring: 2.5;
The current conducting: ring 26 is constructed a manner like the current conducting ring 25 but consists of the current conducting segment 311 and: the electrical. insulating segment 32 which are carried upon the electrical insulating ring 33.
As illustrated in: Figure 1,. the current conducting rings 25 and Z6 are mounted in side-by-side relationship on the drive shaft 20'.
A- current conducting brush 35 engages the periphery of the current conducting ring 25 and a similar current conducting brush 26 engages the periphery of the current conducting ring 28.
The current conducting segments 28 and 31 of the rings 2 5 and 26 respectively, are adapted to engage along their edge surfaces and are adapted to overlap in their engagement as illustrated in Figure 4. It will therefore be apparent that with the brushes 35 and 36 on diametrically opposite sidesof current" conducting rings 25 and 26 and with the current conducting segments 28 and 3| segment 28 that current will be carried between the brushes 35 and for an extremely short interval of time, depending upon the width of the brushes. By varying the arcuate length of the current conducting segments 28 and 3|, the period of current conduction or of circuit breaking can be controlled at will. However, within the limits of the arcuate length of the current conducting segments 28 and 3| there is an infinite adjustment from a substantially zero period of current conduction to a period equal to substantially 180 of rotation of the current conducting rings 25 and 26.
To adjust the current conducting rings 25 and 26 relative to on another rotatively, the friction locking nut 22 is rotated on the shaft 20 to allow freedom of rotation of the rings 25 and 26 on the shaft 20. When the proper setting of the rings is obtained the lock nut 22 is tightened and the rings are then friction-held in their preset relationship.
In Figure 1 there are illustrated two sets of current conducting rings 25 and 26 provided with a spacer 4B therebetween. The two sets of current conducting rings can be used either for breaking both power lines of an electric circuit or could be used for controlling individual electric circuits to separately controlled devices adapted to operate together or in a predetermined sequence.
InFigure 5 there is illustrated a modification of the device shown in Figures 1 to 3. In this arrangement of the apparatus the circuit breaker consists of the housing Hi2 having the end caps I40; and [5a which carry the anti-friction bearings ifia and Ila respectively, the bearings supporting the drive shaft a.
' The shaft 23a carries the current conducting rings 25a and 26a, which are held in spaced relationship by the insulating spacer 90. The current conducting rings 25a and 26a are constructed in the same manner as heretofore described with reference to the comparable rings shown in Figure 1.
In this instance, however, the current is conducted from the current conducting segment of the ring 26a to the current conducting segment of the ring 25a by means of the brushes 9i and 92 slidably disposed in the metal sleeve 93 and spring-pressed against the cooperating current conducting segments by means of the spring 94.
In this arrangement there is shown only one circuit breaking device, but it will be understood that by use of cooperating pairs of current conducting rings in the shaft 29, that other circuits can be controlled.
In Figure 6 there is illustrated another modified form of the circuit breaker particularly with regard to the construction of the current conducting rings. In this arrangement each of the current conducting rings '75 is provided with a plurality of parallel slots around the periphery thereof in each of which there is placed a current conducting segment 18 forming somewhat of a conventional commutator. The springpressed current conducting brushes 11 and 18 are disposed side by side as shown in Figure '7 in a common plane extending through the axis of the current conducting ring 80.
To provide for a period of current conduction during rotation of the ring 80, a wire BI is imbedded in a groove provided in the periphery of the ring 80 thereby shorting several of the current conducting segments 16 and in effect rendering them a single segment. By controlling the member of segments that are thus shorted, the period of current conduction can be controlled. I
While the forms of the apparatus shown and described herein illustrate preferred arrangements of the invention, yet it will be understood that modifications that fall within the scope of the appended claims are intended to be included herein.
