Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of electrical circuit breakers and in particular it relates to a handgrip for an electrical molded case circuit breaker.
  • Document EP 1 739 704 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a handgrip that can be associated to a molded case circuit breaker which, besides facilitating manual grasping of the breaker, is also such as to prevent dangerous access to the electricalally conductive and exposed parts of the circuit breaker.
  • a further object of the present invention is a circuit breaker unit as defined in the attached claim 13.
  • circuit breaker unit comprising a handgrip according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the circuit breaker unit comprises a molded case circuit breaker 1, for example a three-pole circuit breaker with thermal and magnetic protection.
  • a molded case circuit breaker as opposed to a circuit breaker of the so-called "air" type, has a box-type casing 2 generally parallelepiped and made of insulating material, which acts as support for the mechanisms inside the circuit breaker.
  • molded case circuit breakers are generally used in the industrial automation and advanced tertiary sectors for interrupting currents for example with values up to 1500 A.
  • the front face 3 of the box-type casing 2 having a substantially quadrangular shape, is provided with an opening through which a rotating lever 4 passes for controlling the circuit breaker 1.
  • a first group of three terminals for electrical connection 6 is provided, for connecting the circuit breaker 1 to an electrical circuit outside the breaker 1, for example to an electrical circuit upstream of the breaker 1.
  • a similar group of electrical connection terminals 8 is provided on one lower horizontal face 7 of the box-type casing 2, for connecting the breaker 1 to an electrical circuit outside the breaker 1, for example downstream of the breaker 1.
  • the electrical terminals 6 are at least partially housed in respective recesses 9 provided in the box-type casing 2 near the upper face 5.
  • said recesses 9 house a substantially plate-shaped end portion of the electrical terminals 6.
  • the electrical terminals 6 have a conductive bar perpendicular to the plate-shaped end portion and have an opposite rounded end portion, such as to be engaged with a corresponding connection terminal provided in a control panel or insertion board.
  • the conductive bar of the terminals 6 juts out from the horizontal face 5 projecting towards the rear face 34 of the box-type casing 2.
  • the connection terminals 6 could be common screw terminals housed in the recesses 9 and such as to be connected to cable conductors for connection of the breaker 1 to an external circuit.
  • Each housing recess 9 is provided with an open end portion 10 on the front face 3 of the box-type casing 2.
  • connection terminals 8 Similar housing recesses, not visible in the drawings, are provided in the box-type casing 2 near the lower horizontal face 7 for housing, at least partially, the other electrical terminals 8 of the breaker 1. Said recesses are also provided with an open end portion 11 on the front face 3 of the box-type casing 2 of the breaker 1. As far as the connection terminals 8 are concerned, the same applies as that described for the connection terminals 6.
  • the housing recesses 9 have one open side on the upper horizontal face 5 of the box-type casing 2. Similar open sides are provided in the recesses, not visible, arranged on the lower horizontal face 7.
  • a handgrip 20, 30 is associated to the breaker 1, conveniently made of electrically insulating material and comprising a gripping organ 21, 31 intended to project from the main casing 2 of the associated breaker 1, to facilitate manual grasping of the breaker 1.
  • the handgrip 20, 30 comprises an array of protective elements 22 in insulating material.
  • Each of said protective elements 22 is such as to be engaged with a corresponding recess 9 of the box-type casing 2 so as to prevent dangerous access to the connection terminal 6 through the open end portion 10 of the recess 9.
  • the protective elements 22 are made in the shape of bars having a substantially disc-shaped end portion.
  • each protective element 22 can be engaged with the respective recess 9 by axially crossing through the open end portion 10 of said recess 9, as indicate by the arrow IV in figure 1 .
  • Axial direction means a direction perpendicular to the front face 3 of the box-type casing 2 of the breaker 1.
  • the handgrip 20, 30 comprises a bar 23 at the base of the gripping organ 21.
  • Said bar 23 extends transversally compared to the axial direction of the recesses 9 and the array of protective elements 22 juts out from the bar 23 on the opposite side from the gripping organ 21, 31.
  • the handgrip is essentially made of two distinct and combinable pieces 20, 30, shown disassembled in said figure.
  • the handgrip comprises a front piece 20 comprising the array of protective elements 22 and a rear piece 30 essentially "L" shaped and including:
  • the first part 32 of the rear piece of the handgrip 30 is, for example, provided with one or more openings 36 to permit fixing, by means of screws, the rear piece 30 to the rear face 34 of the box-type casing 2.
  • the second part 35 of the rear piece of the handgrip 30 comprises guided coupling means 38, for coupling the rear piece 30 to the horizontal face 5 of the box-type casing 3, interacting with combined guided coupling means 39 provided in the box-type casing 2 on the horizontal face 5.
  • the guided coupling means 38 comprise at least one cursor 38 which slides into a respective counter-shaped slot 39 provided in the box-type casing 2 ( figure 1 ).
  • the cursor 38 is preferably made with a dovetail section so as to firmly engage the first part 35 of the rear piece of the handgrip 30 to the horizontal face 5.
  • the arrow V in figure 1 indicates the direction and insertion direction of the cursors 38 into the slots 39.
  • the second part 35 of the rear handgrip piece 30 is such as to be juxtaposed to the horizontal face 5 in order to prevent any possible access to the terminals 6 from the side of the horizontal face 5.
  • the second part 35 of the rear handgrip piece 30 preferably includes a plurality of grooves 40, each defining a slot with insulating walls intended to receive a respective terminal bar 6 or, alternatively, a terminal cable, coming out from the horizontal face 5. More preferably, the grooves 40 terminate with an end portion 41 facing the rear face of the box-type casing 2 which is open so it can be crossed by a terminal bar 6, or terminal cable.
  • end portion 41 is intended to be crossed by a terminal bar 6, it is possible to provide an insulating and projecting collar 42 such as to be received in an opening which accesses the terminal into which the terminal 6 is to be inserted.
  • end portions of terminals 6 must be provided which project beyond said collar 52, so that the electrical connection can be made between the terminal 6 and a corresponding terminal, provided for example in an insertion board.
  • the gripping organ 21, 31 is essentially shaped like a trapezoidal plate and comprises two juxtaposed plates provided in the front piece of the handgrip 20 and in the rear piece of the handgrip 30 respectively.
  • the two plates form a single plate 21, 31 projecting from the casing 2 of the circuit breaker 1 and such as to facilitate manual grasping of the breaker.
  • further removable fixing means can optionally be provided in order to ensure safe coupling of the two pieces 20, 30 of the handgrip, such as screws, bolts and similar.
  • the handgrip 20, 30 can further be provided with centering and guiding means, for example a pair of projecting fins 50, such as to facilitate the insertion of a circuit breaker into an insertion board provided with combined insertion and guiding means, for example in the form of guiding grooves, not shown in the drawings, and such as to interact with a respective fin 50.
  • centering and guiding means for example a pair of projecting fins 50, such as to facilitate the insertion of a circuit breaker into an insertion board provided with combined insertion and guiding means, for example in the form of guiding grooves, not shown in the drawings, and such as to interact with a respective fin 50.
  • a handgrip according to the present invention makes it possible to entirely satisfy the above-described requirements with reference to the prior art.
  • a handgrip according to the present invention facilitates and makes safe the operations of installation/removal of the circuit breaker, also preventing access to the exposed conductive parts of the circuit breaker when the breaker is installed and fed.
