Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to hydraulically operated circuit breakers and, more particularly, to an improved hydraulically operated circuit breaker in which a series double-piston device is utilized for etfecting actuation Of the circuit breaker.
  • a general object of the present invention is to provide an improved hydraulically Operated circuit breaker in which the energy losses are reduced to a minimum in the transmission of hydraulic fluid through the lines to the hydraulic mechanism.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved hydraulic mechanism for a circuit breaker in which a double series piston device including pistons of different cross sectional areas, movable in Operating cylinders of different cross sectional areas, are employed for moving the movable circuit breaker contact to one Of its two positions, namely the closed position Or to the open position.
  • Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a Variable hydraulically actuated damping device for a circuit breaker in which a series double piston hydraulic device is utilized.
  • Still a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved hydraulic mechanism for a circuit breaker in Which one hydraulic device effects the opening of the circuit breaker and a second hydraulic device effects the closing of the circuit breaker.
  • FIGURE 1 illustrates a hydraulic Operating mechanism connected to a circuit breaker (diagrammatically illustrated), the device being illustr-.aited in the open circuit position;
  • FIG. 2 is a modified type of hydraulic circuit interrupter mechanism, again the several parts being illustrated in the open circuit position;
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a further modified type of circuit breaker hydraulic Operating mechanism in which separate hydraulic devices are utilized for etfccting both the open and closing operations of the breaker, the several parts being illustrated in the closed circuit position.
  • hydraulic Operating mechanisms have previously been used for circuit breaker applications.
  • such hydraulic operating mechanisms comprise a piston Which moves Within an Operating cylinder.
  • the hydraulic piston is moved by a pressurized Operating fluid, such, for example, as pressurized hydraulic oil.
  • the piston is connected by suitable linkage to the circuit breaker shaft, preferably by means of a crank arm-
  • a pump for supplying the pressurized hydraulic liquid, such, for example, as hydraulic oil, into the operating cylinder; but there is preferably provided for the supply of the pressurized hydraulic fluid into the cylinder 3,21 1,851 Patented Oct. 12, 1965 an energy accumulator, which is slowly charged by a hydraulic pump.
  • Such an energy accumulator may consist, for example, Of a fluid filled container in Which there is a gas Which is compressed under pressure.
  • the moving masses For fast operation of circuit breakers, the moving masses must be rapidly accelerated at the beginning of the movement and at the end of the movement they must be correspondingly decelerated.
  • a constant pressure in the Operating cylinder of the known hydraulic leakage systems is not suitable, because it would provide the desired acceleration of the moving masses not only at the beginning of the travel, but also it would accelerate the moving masses further along during the entire course of the travel. Therefore, there is usually built into the pipe line, Which brings the hydraulic fluid from the accumulator into the Operating cylinder, a throttle (or, in certain cases, the cross sectional area of the pipe line is reduced cO-rrespondingly) so that the pressure in the operating cylinder decreases with the increase of speed of the Operating piston.
  • this energy loss can be prevented by a construction in which two pistons of different cross-sectional areas and Operating within corresponding dimensioned Operating cylinders are used as the hydraulic linkage system, and preferably one of the pistons is directly connected with the Operating cylinder associated With the other piston.
  • the piston having the larger diameter is moved so that a large initial acceleration is obtained.
  • the small piston which provides Only the small work for complction of the breaker travel, moves. In this Way, there is obtained the desired dependency of the force acting upon the moving masses Without the throttling Which has been previously necessitatcd in the case of known hydraulic drives.
  • this piston can be provided with an axial running borc which forms the cylinder for the Other piston. This has a distinct advantage in requiring only one inlet to be provided.
  • a hydraulic linkage system may be utilized for effecting -the closing Operation of the circuit interrupter, and for effecting the opening operation there may be used either an accelerating spring Or a hydraulic linkage system.
  • a throttle in the pipe line to the sump of the energy .accumulator there is provided a throttle.
  • this throttle substitutes for the otherwise customarily used throttling, or damping devices, such as oil pumps, friction brakes, etc.
  • damping devices such as oil pumps, friction brakes, etc.
  • the hydraulic Operating linkage system of the present invention is particularly suitable in connection with an accumulator in which the accumulator tank is completely filled with the pressurized hydraulic liquid, i.e. the accumulator contains no gas and the storage of energy takes place due to the compressionof the hydraulic liquid and also by the elastic expansion of the accumulator tank.
