, Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to mechanical door safety interlocks, and more specifically relates to, a door defeat interlock (hereinafter interchangeably referred as “interlock defeat”) for opening door in service and test position of withdrawable modules in switchboards.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] For safety reasons, high-power electrical or electronic devices which contain voltages lethal to people are housed in enclosures that have locking doors. The enclosures are either made from electrically insulating, fireproof material, or they are made of metal and are electrically connected to earth (or safety) ground with large conductors so that if anything inside the enclosure breaks, arcs, explodes, or otherwise malfunctions, the lethal voltage is contained within the enclosure. The enclosure prevents any significant voltage from escaping to the exterior of the enclosure, irrespective of what occurs inside the enclosure.
[0004] In such enclosures that contain high-power electrical or electronic devices and/or switchgear, there is often a circuit breaker (which is in essence a disconnect switch) that is placed in series with the incoming electrical power line. This circuit breaker is coupled to a handle that is located on the outside of the enclosure, which handle may be manipulated to operate the circuit breaker located inside the enclosure to turn the electrical power in the enclosure on or off. To protect people from the hazardous voltage that is present inside the enclosure, the circuit breaker is often mechanically interlocked with the enclosure door so that the door cannot be opened when the handle is in the on position.
[0005] This mechanical interlocking function is typically performed by an interlock mechanism that is mechanically linked to a circuit breaker that is mounted inside the enclosure. One common type of circuit breaker is a rotary circuit breaker that is actuated by a rotating shaft operated by a handle located on the outside of the enclosure (typically on a bracket that is accessible through an opening located in the door of the enclosure). The handle is rotated between ON and OFF positions to operate the rotary circuit breaker. Rotation of the handle from the OFF position to the ON position actuates the interlock mechanism to cause it to lock the enclosure door closed, and rotation of the handle from the ON position to the OFF position allows the enclosure door to open. The interlock switch should also prevent the power switch from moving from the OFF position to the ON position while the enclosure door is open.
[0006] Efforts have been made in related art to address above stated problem by using door safety interlocks. An example of such interlocking mechanism is recited in a United States Patent 7420133B2, entitled “Door interlock for rotary actuated circuit breaker”. The patent discloses a simple, mechanical rotary circuit breaker door safety interlock for installation and use in an enclosure having a hinged door to operate a rotary circuit breaker that is actuated by rotation of a shaft that is operated by a handle located on and accessible from the outside of the enclosure with the hinged door closed. In this patent, the purpose of proposed interlock is to ensure that as long as the switch is ON, the door should not be opened. Once the switch is turned OFF, the door can be opened as the lever on the door gets relieved from the locking lever of the breaker. However, in the conventional door safety interlocks, there is no defeat provided for opening the door when the interlock is in active state. Further, in the conventional door defeat interlock, the interlock is not re-lockable while closing the door. The screw has to be kept rotated with a tool with one hand and door has to be closed with other hand. As per requirement of IEC 61439 standard, any defeat interlock if provided needs to be self-restoring. This condition is not fulfilled in the conventional door defeat interlock.
[0007] Whereas there is certainly nothing wrong with existing techniques, nonetheless, there still exists a need to provide an efficient, effective, reliable, improved a door defeat interlock for opening door in service and test position of withdrawable modules in switchboards. Further, the proposed invention provides a defeat mechanism for door opening in test and service position for withdrawable modules in switchboard. Furthermore, the interlock ensures that the door is opened by intentionally defeating the interlock ensuring safety in closed door condition.

[00038] Various terms as used herein are shown below. To the extent a term used in a claim is not defined below, it should be given the broadest definition persons in the pertinent art have given that term as reflected in printed publications and issued patents at the time of filing.
[00039] Problems to be solved in the present invention are that: In conventional door defeat interlock is provided to open the door when the ACB is in test or service position. One part of interlock is on the door and other is on ACB. A fixed pin is provided on the structure. The interlock can be defeated by rotating the screw provided on the door. This releases the two brackets locked with each other and door can be opened. In conventional door defeat interlock, the interlock is not re-lockable while closing the door. The screw has to be kept rotated with a tool with one hand and door has to be closed with other hand. As per requirement of IEC 61439 standard, any defeat interlock if provided needs to be self-restoring. This condition is not fulfilled in the present invention. The present invention overcomes this drawback and fulfills the standard requirement.
[00040] Therefore there is a need of an efficient, effective, reliable, improved a door defeat interlock for opening door in service and test position of withdrawable modules in switchboards. Further, the proposed invention provides a defeat mechanism for door opening in test and service position for withdrawable modules in switchboard. Furthermore, the interlock ensures that the door is opened by intentionally defeating the interlock ensuring safety in closed door condition.
[00041] The present disclosure relates to mechanical door safety interlocks, and more specifically relates to, a door defeat interlock for opening door in service and test position of withdrawable modules in switchboards.
[00042] Accordingly, an aspect of the present disclosure relates to a door defeat interlock for opening door in service and test position of withdrawable modules. In present invention, a defeat screw and rotating lever can be provided on the door. The locking lever can be provided on the module. There is a fixed pin provided on the structure. When module is in isolated position, the locking lever is fallen down and not locked with the rotating lever. Thus, door can be opened without defeat in this position. When the module starts moving from isolated to test position, the locking lever starts getting lifted up since it rides on the fixed pin mounted on the structure. The locking lever is tangential to the fixed pin. When the module comes to test position, the lever becomes horizontal and locks the rotating lever.
[00043] In an aspect, the rotating lever can be connected to defeat screw through a spring loaded bracket.
[00044] In an aspect, the door can be opened only when the defeat screw is rotated in anticlockwise direction and the rotating lever clears the locking lever. The locking lever remains horizontal throughout the module travel from test to service and vice-a-versa. Thus, the interlocking can be achieved in test and service position. During the closure of the door in test and service position, the rotating lever rides over locking lever and gets locked with it when the door is closed completely.
[00045] In a panel board, module with SCPD, contactor, relay are provided for operation, control and protection of loads like motor, pumps, conveyors etc. The modules can be withdrawable type. For withdrawing the module, racking mechanism is provided to take module from one position to other. The mechanism can either be open door or closed door type. There are three positions of the module: Isolated, Test and Service. In closed door operation of the module, the door is closed in test and service position. There can be situations where it becomes necessary to open the door even when the module is in service position (e.g. taking thermal data) or in test position. Thus, to ensure that the authorized person opens the door, tool operated defeat is provided. This defeat has to be restorable while closing the door again.
[00046] In present product, door defeat interlock is provided to open the door when the ACB is in test or service position. One part of interlock is on the door and other is on ACB. A fixed pin is provided on the structure. The interlock can be defeated by rotating the screw provided on the door. This releases the two brackets locked with each other and door can be opened. Furthermore
[00047] FIG. 1 illustrates a door defeat interlock and parts of door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00048] In an embodiment, the door defeat interlock can be divided in 3 parts.
[00049] As shown in FIG. 1 shows the defeat screw (1), spring loaded bracket (2) and rotating lever (3) assembly mounted on the door.
[00050] FIG. 2 illustrates a door defeat interlock and parts of door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00051] As shown in FIG.2, the bracket (4) and locking lever (5) assembly can be mounted on the module side plate.
[00052] FIG. 3 illustrates a door defeat interlock and parts of door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00053] As shown in FIG.3, a fixed pin (6) can be mounted on structural pillar.
[00054] FIGs. 4-6 illustrate right handed side view of a door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00055] In an embodiment, when the module is in isolated position, the locking lever (5) is fallen down since there is no pin to ride on. Thus, even when the door (7) is closed, the locking lever (5) and rotating lever (3) cannot locked with each other as shown in FIG. 4 (RHS view of the module in isolated position). Thus, in isolated position, the door (7) can be opened without defeat.
[00056] In an embodiment, when the module moves to test position, the locking lever becomes horizontal as it gets guided by the fixed pin mounted on the door. Thus, the locking lever and rotating lever gets locked to each other in door closed condition as shown in FIG.5. FIG. 5 indicates test position in RHS view of the module. The door cannot be opened in this position.
[00057] In an embodiment, in service position, the locking lever remains horizontal and locked with rotating lever. The service position is shown in FIG.6.
[00058] As shown in FIG.6, locking lever (5) and rotating lever (3) can be locked with each other.
[00059] FIGs. 7-8 illustrate a front view of a door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00060] As shown in FIG. 7 and 8 shows the front view of the module. In FIG. 7, the rotating lever and locking lever can be locked with each other as highlighted. To defeat the interlock, the defeat screw has to be rotated, which in turn rotates the spring loaded bracket and rotating lever assembly. As shown in FIG. 8, the rotating lever clears the locking lever and door can be opened.
[00061] In an exemplary embodiment, while closing the door, the rotating lever rides over the locking lever. Once it crosses the locking lever, it falls down and gets locked. The relocking of interlock can be achieved.
[00062] FIGs. 9-10 illustrate right handed side view of a door defeat interlock, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
[00063] As shown in FIG. 9 the RHS view of the module during the closure of the door when rotating lever is riding over the locking lever. As shown in FIG. 10, the rotating lever and locking lever can be locked to each other when door is completely closed.
[00064] In an exemplary embodiment, lifting of the locking lever and its locking with the rotating lever on the door can be achieved relative to the module position.
[00065] It may therefore be appreciated from the above detailed description of the exemplary embodiments of the door safety rotary circuit breaker interlock of the present invention that it represents both a simplification to and an improvement upon other interlock devices that have been known in the past. Aside from the handle and the actuation shaft which are used to turn the rotary circuit breaker on and off and the door hook mounted on the back side of the enclosure door, the door safety rotary circuit breaker interlock of the present invention has only one moving part, namely the latch plate. No complex linkages or springs are either used or required for the door safety rotary circuit breaker interlock to operate, since gravity provides all the force that is necessary to move the latch plate from its unlocked position to its locked position.
[00066] Although the foregoing description of the door safety rotary circuit breaker interlock of the present invention has been shown and described with reference to particular embodiments and applications thereof, it has been presented for purposes of illustration and description and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the particular embodiments and applications disclosed.
