Definitions

  • the trigger comprises more precisely an induction coil mounted longitudinally in a magnetic yoke, and surrounding the movable core, which is associated with the striker and a fixed core, a return spring disposed between the cores to complete the mounting.
  • This spring makes it possible in particular to recall the mobile core in position rest, firing pin in the inactive position, that is to say away from a mechanical lock allowing the opening of the contacts by tilting of the movable contact.
  • the cylinder head is made of a sheet of magnetic material generally surrounding the coil to properly channel the lines of fields produced, when the coil is traversed by a current.
  • the magnetic subassemblies mounted in one piece are then arranged in a portion of the plastic shell of the housing, at the time of assembly of the circuit breaker.
  • Magnetic subassemblies are known, for example from WO 99/63564, comprising a fixed guide cylinder in which the mobile core associated with the firing pin moves, as well as a fixed magnetic core.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the number of constituent parts of the magnetic subassembly and to simplify them to facilitate their assembly, while maintaining the reliability of said magnetic subassembly.
  • the mobile support and the striker are made in one piece, for example plastic.
  • the movable core is further devoid of any chamfering, drilling or countersinking, thus increasing its polar surface. No step of securing the striker on the mobile core is also necessary.
  • the guide means comprises for example an opening in the cylinder head, and through which the striker.
  • the fixed magnetic core is for example integral with the cylinder head.
  • the ends of the induction coil depart tangentially from the turns of the coil.
  • Such a configuration makes it possible to avoid folding operations of said ends and consequently to reduce the cost price of such an induction coil.
  • the magnetic subassembly also comprises a movable magnetic core (3) made of a magnetic material, for example steel.
  • the core (3) has a substantially cylindrical shape and two polar faces (4) and (5).
  • a striker (6) moving with the movable core (3), is also provided and makes it possible to open an electrical contact when it moves from an inactive position to an active position.
  • An elastic return means is provided so as to be biased by the movement of the striker (6).
  • the elastic return means (7a, 7b) automatically returns the striker (6) to its inactive position and the electrical contact can again be closed .
  • a connection terminal (10) to the magnetic subassembly to which the second end (2b) of the coil (2) is connected is also provided.
  • the magnetic subassembly shown in FIG. (2) has an air gap (11) formed between the polar face (5) of the movable core (3) and an internal face (12) of the cylinder head (1), which are opposite one (5) of the other (12).
  • Part of the yoke (1), facing the polar face (5) of the movable magnetic core (3) then constitutes a fixed magnetic core.
  • the gap (11) is devoid of a fixed magnetic core and is at least partially offset outside the magnetic coil (2).
  • the movable core (3) is also simplified in its shape, which is for example cylindrical.
  • the magnetic subassembly comprises a fixed magnetic core (3a) integral with the yoke (1) and traversed by the striker (6).
  • the gap (11) is located between the polar faces facing each other, the movable core (3) and the fixed core (3a). The gap (11) then extends into the interior volume delimited by the magnetic coil (2).
  • the fixed core (3a) is fixed on the yoke (1) by any known means, and in particular by a mounting force or welding.
  • the elastic return means makes it possible, as soon as the flow of electric current in the induction coil (2) is interrupted, to bring back the subassembly mobile mechanics, namely the movable core (3), the movable support (13) and the striker (6) in its inactive position.
  • the mobile support (13) and the striker (6) are made in one piece, for example plastic or any other electrical insulating material.
  • the movable support (13) is a cylindrical piece terminating at one of its ends by a rod constituting the striker (6).
  • the manufacture of such a mobile support (13) by injection is particularly simple and its dimensions are chosen so as to secure it with the movable core (3) by a simple fitting operation.
  • Other known technical means of the bonding type may also be provided for securing the movable core (3) with the movable support (13).
  • the ends (2a) and (2b) of the induction coil (2) depart tangentially from the turns of the coil (2). Any folding operation of said ends (2a, 2b) is suppressed. This gives in more than one way, a reduction in the cost of such an induction coil (2).
  • the yoke (1) is non-magnetic and no fixed magnetic core is attached to said yoke (1).
  • the displacement of the mobile core 3 is obtained by a given location area of a maximum density of magnetic field lines, and to which it is driven. Such a displacement suffices to actuate the firing pin (6).
  • FIG 8 shows a partially cut-away view, for the sake of clarity, of a circuit breaker (15) according to the invention.
  • the circuit breaker (15) incorporating a magnetic subassembly according to the invention comprises a modular housing (16) provided with fixing means (17), for example on a support of the mounting rail type (not shown).
  • the circuit breaker (15) has a rocker-type operating member (18) for moving the movable contact (8a) between an open and closed position (see FIG. 8) of the electrical connection with the contact. fixed (8).
  • the striker (6) acts on a mechanical lock (19) known as such, which moves the movable contact (8a) to open the electrical connection with the fixed contact (8).
  • This opening causes the interruption of the circulation of an electric current between the terminals of connection (10) of the circuit breaker and automatically returns the handle (18) to the position corresponding to the separation of the fixed contacts (8) and movable (8a), thanks to the mechanical lock (19).
