  • Patent number: 10879024
    Abstract: A system for actuating a vacuum bottle of an electrical device, the vacuum bottle comprising a fixed electrode and a moving electrode that is mobile along a longitudinal axis between a closed position and an open position. The actuating system comprises an adjusting nut that is rotatably mobile about the longitudinal axis and driven by a drive device to perform an opening movement of the moving electrode, and an adjusting screw engaging with the adjusting nut in order to vary the moment when the drive device drives the moving electrode. The moving electrode is constrained to translate along the longitudinal axis with the adjusting screw, but is free to rotate relative to the adjusting screw, and the rotation of the adjusting screw is limited by blocking means.

  • Patent number: 10217581
    Abstract: An actuation system of a vacuum bottle for an electrical connection device, the vacuum bottle including one movable electrode and one fixed electrode, the movable electrode being movable longitudinally between a closed position in which the two electrodes are in contact with each other and an open position in which the two electrodes are separated. The actuation system includes an adjusting nut linked to the movable electrode and capable of rotation for adjusting its position in relation to the movable electrode, a driving device acting on the adjusting nut for driving the movable electrode towards the open position, and a locking device for locking the position of the adjusting nut in relation to the movable electrode.
