The operation of under-voltage circuit breaker is described now with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and Figure 10 to Figure 12.First the operation of the under-voltage circuit breaker when under-voltage circuit breaker is switched to the on-state of Figure 10 from the off-state of Fig. 2 will be described.
When bar 20 is pivoted to on-position (Figure 10) along connection direction from open position (Fig. 2), distance rod 60 promotes the junction surface 51 of driver connecting rod 50 and makes driver connecting rod 50 in connection direction pivotable.
First pivot 18 of connecting rod 20 is called as handoff boundary line with the straight line of the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60.Along with bar 20 is in connection direction pivotable, when the operative end 61 of distance rod 60 crosses handoff boundary line, the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60 is being stopped by during backup junction surface 51.At this, bar 20 and distance rod 60 remain on on-position, and under-voltage circuit breaker becomes connection.
The position that latching member 70 contacts the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60 is pivoted to by the latching member 70 of case spring 34 pivotable.Driver connecting rod 50 promotes the bonding part 33 of indicating device 30.This makes indicating device 30 in connection direction pivotable and moves to indication reset position.In that case, indicating device latching member 80 promotes and moves to the position of indicating device latching member 80 locking indicating device 30 by indicating device case spring 83.And counterpart 41 is connecting direction pivotable along with driver connecting rod 50 pivotable, and makes the counterpart of another circuit breaker move together with depending post 42.If voltage is normal in an on state, electric current is provided to the solenoid 92 of electromagnetic tripping apparatus 90 by field circuit.Removable magnetic core 97 is attracted to fixed magnetic core 93 by this.The motive force that helical spring 98 resisted by retainer 96 is pivoted to on-position.At this, be separated with driver connecting rod 50 at the protuberance 96b of retainer 96 far-end.
The operation of the under-voltage circuit breaker when under-voltage circuit breaker is switched to off-state from on-state will be described now.
When bar 20 is pivoted to open position (Fig. 2) along disconnection direction from on-position (Figure 10), distance rod 60 pulls latching member 70.This makes latching member 70 resist the motive force pivotable of case spring 34 and open tie rod holes 54 towards upside.
Driver connecting rod 50, and to be stopped when moving to contact spacer pin 99 in the disconnection direction pivotable of bar 20 by the motive force from back-moving spring 55 and 56, and the conjugate foramen 11b and second that described spacer pin is fixed to the first lid 11 covers the conjugate foramen 12c of 12.The conjugate foramen 12c of conjugate foramen 11b and second lid 12 of the first lid 11 is being formed close to protuberance 96b place, and described protuberance is the end contrary with retainer pivot 96a of retainer 96.Driver connecting rod 50 comprises the distal portion 57 of contact spacer pin 99.Distal portion 57 is close to the engagement tabs 53 of the promotion retainer 96 of driver connecting rod 50.Therefore, the expansion of driver connecting rod 50 can be limited.Spacer pin 99 is stiffener and has such as higher than the rigidity of retainer 96.In preferred example, retainer 96 is resin components, and spacer pin 99 is hardwares.Therefore, although contacted by back-moving spring 55 with 56 driver connecting rods 50 promoted and promote spacer pin 99, breaking or wearing and tearing of spacer pin 99 is also eliminated or reduces.
The protuberance 72 of latching member 70 is resisted motive force and is promoted counterpart 41 along disconnecting direction and make counterpart 41 pivotable.Case spring 34 promotes indicating device 30 in disconnection direction and makes indicating device 30 pivotable.When the upper end 81 of engagement tabs 32 contact pointer latching member 80, indicating device 30 stops.Here, the normal region 31a of indicating section 31 exposes from indicating device window 17.
When the disconnection direction pivotable of driver connecting rod 50 at bar 20, the protuberance 96b on the far-end of retainer 96 is pushed to the position shown in Fig. 2 by engagement tabs 53.As mentioned above, driver connecting rod 50 contacts spacer pin 99 and the further movement of limit rod 20 in disconnection direction.Therefore, even if when helical spring 98 makes retainer 96 around connection direction (clockwise direction of Fig. 2) pivotable of retainer pivot 96a at bar 20, the engagement tabs 53 of driver connecting rod 50 also limits the pivotable of retainer 96.
Here, as shown in figure 13, in retainer 96 and driver connecting rod 50, the distal surface S2 of the side S1 of side, connection direction or the engagement tabs 53 of contact-making surface and driver connecting rod 50 that are positioned at the protuberance 96b on retainer 96 contacts with each other.Here, side S1 and distal surface S2 is substantially parallel to each other.And surperficial S1 and S2 extends perpendicular to the motive force of helical spring 98, wherein said helical spring 98 makes retainer 96 in the connection direction pivotable of bar 20.In fig. 13, the angle theta be parallel between the plane RS of helical spring motive force and side S1 is 90 degree.
When retainer 96 is promoted by helical spring 98 while contacting with engagement tabs 53, retainer 96 is fixed and removable magnetic core 97 remains on the position that removable magnetic core 97 contacts the magnetic pole surfaces of fixed magnetic core 93.
The operation when electromagnetic tripping apparatus 90 works and under-voltage circuit breaker is switched to trip status (Figure 12) from on-state (Figure 10) will be described now.Figure 11 illustrates the moment that undervoltage tripping occurs.
At on-state (Figure 10), when field circuit detects value (lower than rated voltage (under-voltage condition)) of voltage lower than predetermined set, field circuit disconnects and is connected in series to the switch of solenoid 92 to make under-voltage circuit breaker thread off.
This makes electric current stop being fed to solenoid 92 and eliminating the electromagnetic attraction between fixed magnetic core 93 and removable magnetic core 97.Therefore, as shown in figure 11, when the motive force of helical spring 98 makes retainer 96 when connecting direction pivotable, the distal surface of retainer 96 or contact-making surface 96e near latching member 70 to make latching member 70 in disconnection direction pivotable.And the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60 moves away from from lock portion 71 and moves out tie rod holes 54.
Transmission end 62 due to distance rod 60 moves out tie rod holes 54 (as shown in figure 12), and the driver connecting rod 50 no longer supported by distance rod 60 is promoted by back-moving spring 55 and 56 and is pivoted to open position in disconnection direction.And counterpart 41 promotes towards upside by the protuberance 72 of latching member 70, and depending post 42 drives the interrupt mechanism of another circuit breaker to make interrupt circuit breaking-off contact.This makes electric current stop being fed to the load being connected to another circuit breaker, and thus protection load device.
Retainer 96 by the motive force of helical spring 98 in the connection direction pivotable of bar 20.But the motive force of back-moving spring 55 and 56 is set to the motive force being greater than helical spring 98.Therefore, when protuberance 96b contacts the engagement tabs 53 of driver connecting rod 50, bar 20 can not in the further pivotable in connection direction of bar 20.
When driver connecting rod 50 is by disconnection direction pivotable at bar 20 of the motive force of back-moving spring 55 and 56, the engagement tabs 53 of driver connecting rod 50 promotes the protuberance 96b of retainer 96.As a result, the disconnection direction of retainer 96 from position illustrated in fig. 11 at bar 20 is pivoted to position illustrated in fig. 12.When driver connecting rod 50 contacts spacer pin 99, being limited in the movement disconnecting direction of bar 20.Therefore, though when retainer 96 by helical spring 98 around connection direction (clockwise direction of Figure 12) pivotable of retainer pivot 96a at bar 20 time, the engagement tabs 53 of driver connecting rod 50 also limits the pivotable of retainer 96.
As shown in figure 13, when the side S1 of retainer 96 contacts the distal surface S2 of driver connecting rod 50, side S1 is parallel to distal surface S2.Two surperficial S1 and S2 extend perpendicular to the pushing direction making retainer 96 at the helical spring 98 of the connection direction pivotable of bar 20.
When retainer 96 is promoted by helical spring 98 while contacting with engagement tabs 53, retainer 96 is fixed and removable magnetic core 97 remains on the position that removable magnetic core 97 contacts the magnetic pole surfaces of fixed magnetic core 93.
The protuberance 96c of retainer 96 promotes indicating device latching member 80 in disconnection direction and makes latching member 80 pivotable (with reference to figure 3) so that by indicating device 30 unlocking.When indicating device 30 unlocking, indicating device 30 receives the motive force of case spring 34 and disconnects direction pivotable.The dropout region 31b of indicating section 31 exposes from indicating device window 17.Then, bar 20 receives the motive force of bar spring 25 and disconnects direction pivotable.When bar arrives open position, the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60 to be installed in tie rod holes 54 and to move to the position of transmitting engagement latch portion, end 62 71.Here, the transmission end 62 of distance rod 60 is installed in the tie rod holes 54 of being surrounded by driver connecting rod 50 and latching member 70.Therefore, when making bar 20 when connecting direction and being pivoted to on-position, state illustrated in fig. 10 is obtained.
The advantage of the present embodiment will be described now.
