Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker used for wiring protection, and more particularly to a circuit breaker having a linear-motion two-contact point structure.
  • Patent Document 1 A technology described in, for example, Patent Document 1 exists as a conventional circuit breaker.
  • a U-shaped magnetic body is provided outside a movable contact and fixed contact of different current paths.
  • Such a configuration can generate electromagnetic repulsive force (Lorentz force) in a repulsive direction between contact points when a large current such as a short-circuit current is applied, and can improve interruption performance by operating the movable contact to move away from the fixed contact.
  • the configuration can also move an arc, generated between the contact points after the contact points are opened, to an arc-extinguishing device disposed on either end side of the movable contact.
  • electromagnetic force that is generated by a magnetic body is proportional to a current. Therefore, in case of the circuit breaker described above, a current region in which a relatively small current such as a rated current flows cannot generate large electromagnetic force. For this reason, the low-current region lacks in power to move the arc to the arc-extinguishing device, the arc being generated when the contact points are opened. At the time of current interruption (at the time of contact point opening operation), interruption needs to take place when the arc generated between the contact points is stagnated in the short distance between the contact points. The opening distance between the contact points needs to be increased in order to deal with a high voltage in a DC circuit that does not have current zero.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker that is capable of appropriately moving an arc, generated between contact points, to an arc-extinguishing device, even in a relatively small current region, without causing enlargement of the arc-extinguishing device.
  • a first aspect of a circuit breaker according to the present invention is a circuit breaker including, in each of poles, a pair of front/rear fixed contacts disposed facing each other, a linear-motion type movable contact formed as a bridge between the fixed contacts, and a pair of front/rear magnetic drive yokes that is disposed so as to hold side surface parts on both ends of the movable contact therebetween, wherein the movable contact closes a current feed path of each pole by being pressed against the fixed contacts by a contact spring, and opens the current feed paths by being pressed back toward the contact spring by an opening/closing mechanism to separate from the fixed contacts, and the magnetic drive yokes are made from permanent magnets.
  • each of the arcs generated between the contact points at the time of the contact point opening operation can efficiently be driven to move to the arc-extinguishing device.
  • the magnetic drive yokes are made from U-shaped permanent magnets and disposed such that leg parts of each of the magnetic drive yokes hold the side surface parts of the movable contact therebetween. Because the magnetic drive yokes are made from U-shaped permanent magnets, the leg parts of the U-shaped magnetic drive yokes can securely hold the side surface parts on both ends of the movable contact therebetween. In addition, the magnetic drive yokes can be disposed in any desired positions. This increases the degree of freedom for disposing the magnetic drive yokes.
  • a third aspect of the present invention is a circuit breaker that has a pair of arc-extinguishing devices disposed in front of and behind the movable contact, and an arc commutation plate that is disposed under the movable contact so as to extend over the arc-extinguishing devices and commutates feet of arcs on the movable contact side, the arcs being generated between the movable contact and the fixed contacts at the time of current interruption, wherein the arc commutation plate has a pair of U-shaped magnetic bodies bent toward the movable contact, and the magnetic drive yokes are made from rectangular permanent magnets and are disposed such that lower surfaces thereof are fixed to upper surfaces of both leg parts of the U-shaped magnetic bodies in order to hold the side surfaces of the movable contacts therebetween.
  • the permanent magnets can be made smaller than when the magnetic drive yokes are made from U-shaped permanent magnets, accomplishing cost reduction. Furthermore, because the magnetic drive yokes are configured integrally with the arc commutation plate, the number of components of the circuit breaker can be reduced, thereby simplifying the assembly of the circuit breaker.
  • a fourth aspect of the present invention is a circuit breaker that has a pair of arc-extinguishing devices disposed in front of and behind the movable contact, and an arc commutation plate that is disposed so as to extend over the arc-extinguishing devices and commutates feet of arcs on the movable contact side, the arcs being generated between the movable contact and the fixed contacts at the time of current interruption, wherein the arc commutation plate has a pair of U-shaped magnetic bodies bent toward the movable contact, and the magnetic drive yokes are made from rectangular permanent magnets and are disposed so as to hold the side surface parts of the movable contact therebetween by being fixed to inner surfaces of leg parts of the U-shaped magnetic bodies.
  • the present invention can provide a small circuit breaker suitable for a DC circuit and contribute to reduction in size of equipment having the circuit breaker.
  • the parts of the circuit breaker can be replaced with parts exclusive to an AC circuit.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional diagram showing a current interrupting part of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the circuit breaker according to the present embodiment is a circuit breaker with linear-motion two-contact point structure.
  • reference numeral 1 represents a current interrupting part.

  • Fixed contact points 2a, 3a are attached to the fixed contacts 2, 3 respectively.
  • a rectangular movable contact 4, either end of which is bent downward, has a pair of movable contact points 4a and 4b capable of coming into contact with the fixed contact points 2a and 3a respectively.
  • the movable contact 4 serves as a bridge between the fixed contacts 2, 3 by being pressed against the fixed contacts 2, 3 by a contact spring 5 of a compression spring so that the movable contact points 4a and 4b come into contact with the fixed contact points 2a and 3a respectively.
  • the movable contact 4 In an open state in which the current feed path is opened as shown in the diagram, the movable contact 4 separates from the fixed contacts 2, 3 by being pushed down toward the contact spring 5 by an opening/closing mechanism, which is not shown.
  • a pair of arc-extinguishing devices 6 is disposed in front of and behind the movable contact 4.
  • a plurality of grids 7 of the arc-extinguishing device 6 surround the ends of the movable contact 4.
  • the grids 7 are each made from a U-shaped magnetic plate and supported by a pair of left/right insulator side walls 8 as viewed in a top view.
  • An arc commutation plate 9 made from a high-resistance material such as a steel plate is provided under the arc-extinguishing devices 6 so as to extend over the front and rear arc-extinguishing devices 6. This arc commutation plate 9 functions as a backing plate for the contact spring 5.

  • the magnetic drive yokes 10 are disposed such that left and right leg parts of each of the magnetic drive yokes hold the side surface parts on the ends of the movable contact 4 therebetween.
  • One of the leg parts is constituted as a south pole and the other as a north pole.
  • Each of the magnetic drive yokes is disposed so as to obtain the polarity shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the left and right leg parts of the magnetic drive yokes 10 are covered with an insulation cover 11.
  • Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a structure of a magnetic drive yoke part configured by the arc commutation plate 9, the magnetic drive yokes 10, and the insulation cover 11.
  • the insulation cover 11 is formed by resin molding into a U-shape and has a pair of left/right side walls 11a, 11b, wherein the movable contact 4 is held so as to be able to move in an opening/closing direction (a vertical direction in Fig. 1 ) between the side walls 11a, 11b.
  • a lower surface of each of the side walls 11a, 11b of the insulation cover 11 is opened to form a pouch-like part.
  • the pouch-like parts cover the leg parts 10a, 10b of the magnetic drive yokes 10 when assembling the circuit breaker.
  • the arc commutation plate 9 is disposed between the leg parts 10a, 10b of the magnetic drive yokes 10 and outside the lower surface parts of the insulation cover 11, when assembling the circuit breaker.

  • an overcurrent detector not shown, detects an overcurrent and outputs a tripping signal, in response to which the opening/closing mechanism pushes the movable contact 4 downward as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the fixed contact points 2a and 3a of the respective fixed contacts 2 and 3 are pulled away from the movable contact points 4a and 4b of the movable contact 4.
  • the movable contact 4 is driven to separate from the fixed contacts at a speed higher than that of driving the movable contact by using the electromagnetic repulsive force alone or the opening/closing mechanism alone. Consequently, interruption performance of the circuit breaker can be improved.
  • the arc A that is generated between the contact points shifts from arc A1 -> arc A2 -> arc A3 -> arc A4, towards each of the arc-extinguishing devices 6 disposed outwardly in the front/rear direction of the movable contact 4 as shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the arc A drawn to each of the arc-extinguishing devices 6 is analyzed, cooled, and extinguished. As a result, a short-circuit interruption operation is completed.

  • the magnetic drive yokes are made from permanent magnets, a constant electromagnetic force can be generated regardless of the level of the current. Therefore, even in a current region in which a current is as small as a rated current, sufficient electromagnetic force can be generated, and the arc that is generated between the contact points at the time of the contact point opening operation can be moved appropriately to each arc-extinguishing device. As described above, this embodiment can accomplish current interruption by efficiently using the arc-extinguishing devices of the circuit breaker in a wider range of current regions.
  • a strong electromagnetic repulsive force (Lorentz force) can be generated between the movable contact and the fixed contacts when a current flows to the movable contact in the closed state, whereby the movable contact can be driven to separate from the fixed contacts.
