Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a circuit breaker with a magnet fixing means, and more particularly, to a circuit breaker with a magnet fixing means for fixing a magnet used to suppress an overcurrent instantly being occurred.
- In general, a circuit breaker is an electrical device provided within a distribution switchboard having a low voltage circuit (15-30A) with
AC 110/220V to be used for the purpose of preventing electric shock on human body, a fire caused by a short circuit, an accident due to an overcurrent and a short circuit, and the like. - Such a circuit breaker, as a device for sensing a fault current when the fault current and short-circuit current occur and suppressing a line to protect the load and line connected thereto, is widely used instead of one combined with a knife switch and a fuse in the related art since it is small-sized and safely manipulated as well as has no trouble in inserting a fuse.
- The fault current sensing function of the circuit breaker may include an overcurrent protection function and an instantaneous current protection function, and the overcurrent protection function performs a trip operation using a heater and a bimetal provided within the breaker by allowing the bimetal to be bent, and the instantaneous current protection function performs a trip operation using a magnet magnetized by an instantaneously generated high current.
- According to the use of a circuit breaker, the size and conduction time of current is variably set at which a trip operation should be carried out, and in case of a thermal electronic circuit breaker having the foregoing structure, it is set not to perform a trip operation when the current flows below 105% of rated current, but set to perform a trip operation above 130% of rated current. Furthermore, when the current flows above 105% and below 130%, a time for starting the trip operation is individually set according to the size of current.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the internal structure of a typical circuit breaker. Referring toFIG. 1 , theforegoing bimetal 10,heater 11, andmagnet 12 are fastened by one fixing bolt. Theheater 11 generates heat due to its induced current, and the generated heat is conducted into thebimetal 10. When an overcurrent flows, heat enough to deform thebimetal 10 is generated, thereby suppressing the conduction of the overcurrent. Meanwhile, in describing the instantaneous current protection function, when a current above the reference current instantaneously flows therethrough, themagnet 12 is magnetized to pull anamateur bar 13 disposed at the right side (with respect toFIG. 1 ) of themagnet 12 to the side of themagnet 12 to perform a trip operation. - In the foregoing structure, heat generated by the heater while an overcurrent flows therethrough is conducted to the side of the magnet along the fixing bolt as well as the bimetal. Due to this, an amount of heat conducted to the bimetal is reduced, thereby causing a problem that the operation of the bimetal is inaccurate. Due to this, an amount of heat transferred to the side of the bimetal should be taken into consideration during the design of a circuit breaker, thereby causing a problem that the design becomes difficult. Furthermore, the amount of conducted heat varies according to the abrasion degree of the fixing bolt and the difference of the fastening force, and as a result, there exists a problem that the operational characteristics of the circuit breaker becomes non-uniform.
- The present disclosure is contrived to overcome the foregoing problems in the related art, and a technical task of the present disclosure is to provide a circuit breaker capable of constantly maintaining the operational characteristics of a circuit breaker.
- Another technical task of the present disclosure is to provide a circuit breaker capable of allowing a bimetal to be accurately operated according to regulations such as a conduction time, a conduction current value, and the like.
- In order to accomplish the foregoing technical tasks, according to an aspect of the present disclosure, as a circuit breaker including a heater configured to generate heat due to a conduction current induced to a moving contact of the circuit breaker; a bimetal configured to be deformed due to heat generated by the heater to separate a contact point of the moving contact; a magnet configured to generate a magnetic force to move an amateur bar when a current above a previously set reference current is induced; and a trip case configured to accommodate the bimetal and magnet, at least part of which is made of a synthetic resin material, there is provided the circuit breaker including a magnetic fixing portion integrally formed in the trip case, and made of a synthetic resin material; a magnet fixing means configured to fasten the magnet to the magnet fixing portion; and a bimetal fixing means configured to fix the bimetal to the heater, wherein a magnet-side separating portion exists between the magnet and the heater to be disposed such that the heater is not brought into contact with the magnet.
- Here, the circuit breaker may further include a heater fixing means configured to fix the heater to the trip case, wherein the heater fixing means is fastened to the magnetic fixing portion.
- Furthermore, a bimetal-side separating portion may be disposed between the heater and the bimetal. Here, the two separating portions may be respectively disposed on the remaining portion excluding the contact portion.
- Furthermore, only one side end portion of the magnet may be fixed to the magnetic fixing portion. Further, the magnet may be spaced apart from the trip case except the end portion fixed to the magnet fixing portion.
- In addition, an interference avoidance portion for accommodating part of the magnet fixing means may be formed at the heater.
- According to aspects of the present disclosure, a heater and a magnet may be separated from each other and individually fastened, thereby minimizing an amount of heat transferred from the heater to the magnet, and accordingly, constantly maintaining the operational characteristics of a bimetal. In particular, the magnet may be fastened to a magnet fixing portion made of a synthetic resin material having a low thermal conductivity, and a magnet-side separating portion may be disposed between the heater and the magnet, thereby further minimizing the amount of heat conducted from the heater.
- Moreover, a bimetal-side separating portion may be also provided between the heater and the bimetal, thereby minimizing the deformation and positional discrepancy and the like of the bimetal due to the expansion of the heater.
- In addition, only one side end portion of the magnet may be fastened to the magnet fixing portion, thereby minimizing a thermal conduction path connected from the heater to the magnet.

FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating the internal structure of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, andFIG. 3 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view illustrating part of the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 2 . Referring toFIGS. 2 and3 , theembodiment 100 may include acase 102 on which a switch is rotatably provided to selectively switch a current supplied from the power side to the load side, a movingcontact 104 rotatably provided within thecase 102, on an end portion of which there is provided a contact point of the current, and abimetal 106 connected to the movingcontact 104 through a lead line. - The
case 102 is an injection molded part made of a synthetic resin material, which functions as an enclosure of the circuit breaker. - A
first fix contact 108 formed of a conductive material to be fixed to the case, which is a power-side stationary contact point, and asecond fix contact 110, which is a load-side stationary contact point, are provided within thecase 102. A gap between the first fix contact and the second fix contact is electrically connected or disconnected while rotating the movingcontact 104, andFIG. 1 illustrates a state in which the moving contact is not brought into contact with the first and the second fix contact, namely, a disconnecting state. - A
trip assembly 112 configured to actuate the moving contact and adriving mechanism 114 mechanically connected to the trip assembly to drive the trip assembly are additionally provided within thecase 102. - Furthermore, the
driving mechanism 114 may include a plurality ofnails 116 mechanically connected to thetrip assembly 112. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , thetrip assembly 112 may include a rotatablyfixed shooter 118, and theshooter 118 transfers power between thenail 116 and acrossbar 120. - On the other hand, a
magnet fixing portion 130 provided as an integral or individual element with thecase 102 is provided within thecase 102. Themagnet fixing portion 130 is made of a synthetic resin material, and part of an element contained in thetrip assembly 112 is fixed thereto. - Specifically, a
heater 140 for generating heat to deform thebimetal 106 when an overcurrent flows is fixed to an upper surface of themagnet fixing portion 130. Referring toFIG. 4 , theheater 140 is immovably fixed to themagnet fixing portion 130 by theheater fixing bolt 142, and a lower end portion of thebimetal 106 is fixed toheater 140 by abimetal fixing bolt 144. Here, theheater 140 is in a state of being brought into contact with the bimetal at a portion adjacent to thebimetal fixing bolt 144, but separated from thebimetal 106 at the remaining portion to form a bimetal-side separating portion (G1). - On the other hand, an
amateur bar 150 for rotating thecrossbar 120 is provided at the right side of thebimetal 106, and amagnet 160 formed of a ferromagnetic substance to generate a magnetic force using a current flowing through theheater 140 so as to pull theamateur bar 150 is provided at the left side of theheater 140. Here, themagnet 160 is fixed to themagnet fixing portion 130 by amagnet fixing bolt 162. Moreover, themagnet 160 is merely brought into contact with themagnet fixing bolt 162 and themagnet fixing portion 130 but not brought into contact with other elements in the remaining portion. In particular, a separating portion (G) exists between theheater 140 and themagnet 160, and thus it is seen that the paths of transferring heat generated from the heater directly to the side of themagnet 160 are all suppressed. - Here, in order to prevent the
magnet fixing bolt 162 from being brought into contact with theheater 140, abolt accommodating portion 146 is formed at theheater 140 to pass therethrough. Thebolt accommodating portion 146 is formed to be larger than the head portion of themagnet fixing bolt 162 not to allow the heater to be brought into contact with the fixing bolt, and a tool such as a driver or the like can be approached to the side of the magnet fixing bolt. - The operation of the embodiment will be described below. First, heat generation is carried out in the
heater 140 when an overcurrent flows, and accordingly, heat is conducted to thebimetal 106 in contact therewith. When the conducted heat reaches a degree sufficient to bend the bimetal, thecrossbar 120 is rotated while bending the bimetal 106. As a result, the restraint of theshooter 118 is released to be rotated, and thenail 116 is rotated by the force of theshooter 118 to operate thedriving mechanism 114. Thedriving mechanism 114 is mechanically connected to the movingcontact 104 to rotate the movingcontact 104, and thus the circuit is open. - During the foregoing process, a path of conducting heat is suppressed between the heater and the magnet due to the existence of the separating portion (G), and thus most of heat generated from the heater is conducted to the bimetal. Accordingly, the bimetal can be correctly operated according to the intention at the time of the design. In other words, the bimetal can be operated according to the conduction time and conduction current. Of course, though there exists a magnet fixing portion between the heater and the magnet, an amount of heat conducted therethrough is very small since the magnet is made of a synthetic resin material.
- Moreover, the bimetal-side separating portion (G1) performs the role of preventing the bimetal from being deformed while the heater is expanded due to heat. When there does not exist the bimetal-side separating portion (G1), the expanded heater may push the bimetal to dislocate the position of the bimetal, but the expanded amount of the heater can be absorbed since there exists the bimetal-side separating portion (G1).
