  • Patent number: 9791044
    Abstract: A locking apparatus for a hydromechanical spring energy store drive for actuating a medium-voltage or high-voltage circuit breaker is disclosed, the spring energy store drive includes a working piston, which is guided in an axial cutout in a pressure housing or working cylinder, and a spring energy store arrangement. The locking apparatus includes a first pressure region and a second pressure region, which are under elevated pressure when the circuit breaker is closed, and a third pressure region, which is unpressurized. The latching bolt can be arranged perpendicular to the working piston, via a latching apparatus, which can be arranged on a side of the latching bolt, which is to point towards the working piston and via the spring energy store arrangement, which is to be pushed away from the working piston.

  • Publication number: 20100089738
    Abstract: A hydromechanical stored-energy spring mechanism is provided for acting upon high-voltage switches. The mechanism includes a drive cylinder having a piston guided therein. The mechanism also includes a piston rod which is articulated on the piston and which penetrates centrally through a cylinder block provided with a reception bore as a guide for a damping ring. The damping ring is arranged in the reception bore of the cylinder block. The outside of the damping ring bears on the cylinder block housing, and the outside of the damping ring has a protuberance.
