Definitions
- the present invention relates to a contact electric tulip type, including a ring of fingers arranged parallel to each other along the generatrices of a cylinder and joined by a common base.
- It relates more precisely to a type contact tulip, intended to cooperate with a cylindrical male contact and having parallel contact fingers arranged side by side according to the generators of a cylinder and provided a common base, contact including a limiter radial stroke of the fingers consisting of a coaxial tube fingers on which fingers come into position maximum radial expansion.
- Such fingers are subject to current flow to electrodynamic forces tending to move the fingers radially. If for example due to mechanical forces and significant electrodynamics, the deformation exceeds the elastic limit of the material, the contact is deteriorated because it no longer has the necessary qualities, in particular the elasticity qualities, to ensure current flow with suitable contact resistance.
- the invention solves this problem by proposing a particularly simple mounting arrangement which increases the contact force in the expansion position.
- each time finger is associated with an elastic member disposed between said tube and finger and working in compression when radial expansion of the fingers.
- the fingers comprise a rod integral with said base and a stud contact, whose distance from the longitudinal axis of the contact is less than that of the rod, and said tube is arranged inside the fingers and in position expansion, the fingers abut against the tube by through a surface formed in the studs finger contacts.
- the contact according to the invention has the same dimensions as a contact not equipped with radial stroke limiter unlike those of the prior art where the tube or the outer ring increases the size of the contact. Now this can be prohibitive in certain applications, in particularly in the breaking chambers of circuit breakers high or medium voltage. Thanks to this improvement, the gas flow around the contact is not disturbed.
- said elastic member is a blade with one fixing end fixed near said base and one free end of which is in abutment against fingers in rest position.
- each pad has a notch internal housing the free ends of the tube and said blade.
- a base comprising grooves receiving the ends of fixing of the blades, the tube blocking said blades once said base fitted on it and being itself blocked by the fingers, the base of the fingers being fixed on said base.

These grooves 12 receive the ends of fixing blades 5 of length substantially equal to that of tube 4 and made of a metal with good properties elastic. To this base 11 is also rigidly fixed an inner protection tube 13 made of a metal temperature resistant and provides protection internal thermal of the contact when an electric arc appears inside the tulip contact.
- the tube 4 blocks the blades 5 with an internal flange 14 keeping the ends of the blades 5 in the grooves 12, once said base 11 fitted into the tube 4.
- This assembly is then fitted into the base 3 of the fingers 2, the free ends of the tube 4 and the blades 5 which are housed in the notches 10.
- base 3 is provided with positioning pins 15, visible on the Figures 2 and 3, coming to fit into the provided holes in the base 11.

- fingers 2 When the tulip contact is engaged with a male contact 1, as shown in figure 3, fingers 2 assume a maximum position of radial expansion. This expansion is limited by the stop of the fingers 2 against the rigid tube 4 by their surface 9. Between this tube 4 and the surface 9 is the free end of a blade 5 for each finger 2. This blade 5 is therefore deformed and due to its elasticity it works in compression, pushing the pad 7 of each finger 2 against the external surface of the male contact 1, this thrust adding to the effort clean of fingers 2.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un contact électrique du type tulipe, comprenant une couronne de doigts disposés parallèlement entre eux selon les génératrices d'un cylindre et réunis par une base commune.The present invention relates to a contact electric tulip type, including a ring of fingers arranged parallel to each other along the generatrices of a cylinder and joined by a common base.
Elle concerne plus précisément un contact de type tulipe, destiné à coopérer avec un contact mâle cylindrique et comportant des doigts de contact parallèles, disposés côte à côte selon les génératrices d'un cylindre et pourvus d'une embase commune, contact comprenant un limiteur de course radiale des doigts constitué d'un tube coaxial aux doigts sur lequel viennent buter les doigts en position maximale d'expansion radiale.It relates more precisely to a type contact tulip, intended to cooperate with a cylindrical male contact and having parallel contact fingers arranged side by side according to the generators of a cylinder and provided a common base, contact including a limiter radial stroke of the fingers consisting of a coaxial tube fingers on which fingers come into position maximum radial expansion.
De tels doigts sont soumis lors du passage du courant à des forces électrodynamiques tendant à déplacer les doigts radialement. Si en raison par exemple d'efforts mécaniques et électrodynamiques importants, la déformation dépasse la limite élastique du matériau, le contact est détérioré, car il ne présente plus les qualités nécessaires, notamment les qualités d'élasticité, pour assurer le passage du courant avec une résistance de contact convenable.Such fingers are subject to current flow to electrodynamic forces tending to move the fingers radially. If for example due to mechanical forces and significant electrodynamics, the deformation exceeds the elastic limit of the material, the contact is deteriorated because it no longer has the necessary qualities, in particular the elasticity qualities, to ensure current flow with suitable contact resistance.
Il est connu d'empêcher la déformation de tels contacts au-delà de la limite élastique du matériau, en fixant sur la tulipe une bague ou un tube extérieurs, dits limiteur de course radiale.It is known to prevent the deformation of such contacts beyond the elastic limit of the material, in fixing on the tulip an outer ring or tube, called radial stroke limiter.
Cependant il s'avère que dans cette position d'expansion radiale maximale, en butée contre le tube, les doigts perdent de leurs qualités élastiques et l'effort de contact des doigts de la tulipe contre le contact mâle diminuant, la résistance de contact augmente et ceci est défavorable à un passage correct du courant.However it turns out that in this position maximum radial expansion, abutting the tube, the fingers lose their elastic qualities and the effort of contact of tulip fingers against male contact decreasing, the contact resistance increases and this is unfavorable to a correct current flow.
L'invention résout ce problème en proposant un agencement de montage particulièrement simple qui augmente l'effort de contact en position d'expansion.The invention solves this problem by proposing a particularly simple mounting arrangement which increases the contact force in the expansion position.
Pour ce faire conformément à l'invention, à chaque doigt est associé un organe élastique disposé entre ledit tube et le doigt et travaillant en compression lors de l'expansion radiale des doigts.To do this in accordance with the invention, each time finger is associated with an elastic member disposed between said tube and finger and working in compression when radial expansion of the fingers.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les doigts comportent une tige solidaire de ladite embase et un plot de contact, dont la distance par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du contact est inférieure à celle de la tige, et ledit tube est disposé intérieurement aux doigts et en position d'expansion, les doigts viennent buter contre le tube par l'intermédiaire d'une surface ménagée dans les plots de contacts des doigts.According to a preferred embodiment, the fingers comprise a rod integral with said base and a stud contact, whose distance from the longitudinal axis of the contact is less than that of the rod, and said tube is arranged inside the fingers and in position expansion, the fingers abut against the tube by through a surface formed in the studs finger contacts.
Ce mode de réalisation présente un avantage important. En effet, grâce à cet agencement intérieur du tube, le contact conforme à l'invention a les mêmes dimensions qu'un contact non équipé de limiteur de course radiale contrairement à ceux de l'art antérieur où le tube ou la bague extérieurs augmente l'encombrement du contact. Or ceci peut être rédhibitoire dans certaines applications, en particulier dans les chambres de coupure de disjoncteurs à haute ou moyenne tension. Grâce à ce perfectionnement, l'écoulement du gaz autour du contact n'est pas perturbé.This embodiment has an important advantage. Indeed, thanks to this interior arrangement of the tube, the contact according to the invention has the same dimensions as a contact not equipped with radial stroke limiter unlike those of the prior art where the tube or the outer ring increases the size of the contact. Now this can be prohibitive in certain applications, in particularly in the breaking chambers of circuit breakers high or medium voltage. Thanks to this improvement, the gas flow around the contact is not disturbed.
Avantageusement, ledit organe élastique est une lame dont une extrémité de fixation est fixée à proximité de ladite embase et dont une extrémité libre est en butée contre les doigts en position de repos.Advantageously, said elastic member is a blade with one fixing end fixed near said base and one free end of which is in abutment against fingers in rest position.
De préférence, chaque plot comporte une encoche interne dans laquelle sont logées les extrémités libres du tube et de ladite lame.Preferably, each pad has a notch internal housing the free ends of the tube and said blade.
Selon une constitution particulière, il comporte un socle comportant des rainures recevant les extrémités de fixation des lames, le tube venant bloquer lesdites lames une fois ledit socle emboíté sur celui-ci et étant lui-même bloqué par les doigts, l'embase des doigts étant fixée sur ledit socle.According to a particular constitution, it includes a base comprising grooves receiving the ends of fixing of the blades, the tube blocking said blades once said base fitted on it and being itself blocked by the fingers, the base of the fingers being fixed on said base.
Avantageusement, le socle supporte un tube de protection thermique intérieur. Advantageously, the base supports a tube of interior thermal protection.
L'invention est exposée ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de dessins ne représentant qu'un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention.The invention is set out below in more detail at using drawings representing only one embodiment preferred of the invention.
La figure 1 est une vue partiellement en coupe longitudinale des pièces constitutives d'un contact conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 is a partially sectional view longitudinal of the component parts of a conforming contact to the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un contact conforme à l'invention au repos.Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a contact according to the invention at rest.
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un contact conforme à l'invention en position d'expansion radiale maximale.Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a contact according to the invention in expansion position maximum radial.
Comme représenté sur la figure 1, le contact de type
tulipe conforme à l'invention comporte de façon classique
des doigts de contact 2 parallèles, disposés côte à côte
selon les génératrices d'un cylindre et pourvus d'une embase
commune 3. Les doigts 2 comporte une tige 6 solidaire de
ladite embase 3 et un plot de contact 7, dont la distance
par rapport à l'axe 8 longitudinal du contact est inférieure
à celle de la tige 6. Les plots 7 sont pourvus d'une encoche
interne 10.As shown in Figure 1, the type contact
tulip according to the invention comprises conventionally
Le contact comporte également un limiteur de course
radiale des doigts constitué d'un tube 4 coaxial aux doigts
2. Le tube 4 est destiné à être disposé intérieurement aux
doigts 2, son extrémité libre venant se loger dans les
encoches 10 ménagées dans les plots 7.The contact also includes a stroke limiter
radial fingers consisting of a
Le contact comporte enfin un socle 11 tubulaire
comportant des rainures 12 disposées sur sa périphérie et
régulièrement réparties en correspondance à la disposition
des doigts 2. Ces rainures 12 reçoivent les extrémités de
fixation de lames 5 de longueur sensiblement égale à celle
du tube 4 et réalisées dans un métal à bonnes propriétés
élastiques. A ce socle 11 est également fixé de façon rigide
un tube de protection intérieur 13 réalisé dans un métal
résistant à la température et assurant la protection
thermique interne du contact lorsqu'un arc électrique
apparaít à l'intérieur du contact tulipe. The contact finally comprises a
Lors du montage de ces pièces constitutives
particulièrement simples à réaliser industriellement, le
tube 4 vient bloquer les lames 5 par une bride 14 intérieure
maintenant les extrémités des lames 5 dans les rainures 12,
une fois ledit socle 11 emboíté dans le tube 4. Cet ensemble
est alors emboíté dans l'embase 3 des doigts 2, les
extrémités libres du tube 4 et des lames 5 venant se loger
dans les encoches 10. Pour permettre un positionnement
correct des lames 5 en face des doigts 2, l'embase 3 est
pourvue de pions de positionnement 15, visibles sur les
figures 2 et 3, venant s'emboíter dans des orifices prévus
dans le socle 11. L'embase 3 des doigts 2 est alors fixée
sur le socle 11 par l'intermédiaire de plots de fixation 16
reliés à une partie support du contact non représentée.During the assembly of these constituent parts
particularly simple to carry out industrially, the
Le contact ainsi monté est représenté sur la figure 2.
Dans cette position de repos, les lames 5 non déformées
reposent sur la surface 9 de butée des encoches 10.The contact thus mounted is shown in FIG. 2.
In this rest position, the
Lors de l'enclenchement du contact tulipe avec un
contact mâle 1, comme représenté sur la figure 3, les doigts
2 prennent une position maximale d'expansion radiale. Cette
expansion est limitée par la butée des doigts 2 contre le
tube rigide 4 par leur surface 9. Entre ce tube 4 et la
surface 9 se trouve l'extrémité libre d'une lame 5 pour
chaque doigt 2. Cette lame 5 est donc déformée et du fait de
son élasticité elle travaille en compression, poussant le
plot 7 de chaque doigt 2 contre la surface externe du
contact mâle 1, cette poussée s'additionnant à l'effort
propre des doigts 2.When the tulip contact is engaged with a
Cet effort additionnel obtenu grâce aux lames 5 est
aisément ajustable en dimensionnant correctement celles-ci.
L'on peut ainsi ,pour une même tulipe de doigts 2, obtenir
l'effort de contact souhaité en ne modifiant que les pièces
peu coûteuses que sont les lames 5.This additional effort obtained thanks to the
