Description

  The present invention relates to a remote control type earth leakage breaker that can be turned on and off by remote operation.

  In the first conventional example (for example, see Patent Document 1), a main movable contact driven by a handle and a relay movable contact driven by an electromagnet device are arranged to face each other.

  According to this structure, since the main movable contact and the relay movable contact are in direct contact with each other, even if the main movable contact and the relay movable contact are consumed by the first short-circuit current, In order to prevent welding between the movable contact and the relay movable contact, a certain level of contact pressure is required. Also, in the first conventional example, one relay movable contact is driven by one electromagnet device, so there is no need to enlarge the electromagnet device, but two electromagnet devices are required when driving two pole relay movable contacts simultaneously. In addition, there is a problem that a large electromagnet device must be used, resulting in a large body.

  On the other hand, in the second conventional example (see, for example, Patent Document 2), when adding a leakage interrupt function to the remote control circuit breaker, the agreement type 1P type remote control circuit breaker as in the first conventional example described above. The agreement type 2P type remote control type earth leakage circuit breaker is combined with the agreement type 1P type body with the zero phase current transformer and the earth leakage detection device arranged side by side. In this case, there is a problem that although there are two poles, only one pole of the remote control type circuit breaker can be opened and closed by the electromagnet device, and the other poles cannot be opened and closed by the electromagnet device.

In general, the other pole is on the ground side, but if it is connected to the power supply side by mistake, electricity will flow if touched by hand even though the relay contact is turned off. Moreover, since it is a contract type 2P type, there exists a problem that a container will enlarge.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a reason, and the object is to open and close the relay contact device of each pole with one electromagnet device, and the width per one pole. The size can be reduced, and even if the permanent magnet of the electromagnet device and the leakage detection substrate are brought closer due to the miniaturization, the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet hardly affects the leakage detection substrate, and the leakage detection substrate malfunctions. The object of the present invention is to provide a remote control type earth leakage breaker that is difficult to perform.

The remote control type earth leakage breaker of the present invention includes a main body, a plurality of input / output terminals disposed at both ends of the main body, and a main circuit interposed for each pole in an electric circuit between these input / output terminals.

Since the dimensions can be reduced, the electromagnet device can be reduced in size, and the overall size can be reduced. In addition, since the leakage detection board is a weak electric circuit, it may malfunction even under the influence of a small amount of magnetic flux, but even if the permanent magnet of the electromagnet device becomes closer to the leakage detection board due to the overall size reduction, Since the two yokes are interposed, the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet hardly affects the leakage detection substrate, and the leakage detection substrate is less likely to malfunction.

  In addition, since the leakage detection substrate is disposed on one side of both end pieces of the second yoke that can be separated from the permanent magnet, the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet is less likely to affect the leakage detection substrate. The board is less likely to malfunction.

The relay movable frame 44 has recesses 44b on both sides, and the relay movable contact 9a is inserted into the recess 44b, and the relay movable contact 9a is held by a contact pressure applying spring 45. The relay movable contact 9 a and the quick connection terminal 10 are connected by a flexible wire conductor 13. A printed circuit board 49 having a switch 47 using a microswitch or the like opposed to the plunger 36 via a relay movable frame 44 is disposed at one end of the plunger 36, and a switch 48 using a microswitch or the like is opposed to the other end. A printed circuit board 50 is provided. The relay movable frame 44 is rotated at one end of the plunger 36, the switch 47 is pressed by the switch pressing portion 44 c of the relay movable frame 44, and the switch 48 is directly pressed by the other end of the plunger 36. Both switches 47 and 48 are configured so that the current is stopped by pressing the switches 47 and 48 at the end of the plunger 36. A pair of diodes and a surge absorbing element, which will be described later, are mounted on the printed circuit boards 49 and 50 to rectify alternating current and energize the coil 38, and at least the plunger 36 of the electromagnet device 31 is interposed between the printed circuit boards 49 and 50 and the coil 38. Wiring is performed by a pattern forming substrate 52a and lead wires 52 that cover side surfaces to both ends in the moving direction. Thereby, the plunger 36 can be driven by a one-shot signal from the external signal line.

  FIG. 20A shows an ON state of the plunger 36 in which the relay movable contact 9a is turned ON, and one end of the plunger 36 is latched in a state of protruding outward by a permanent magnet 41. The OFF state of the relay movable contact 9a is a state in which the plunger 36 has moved to the opposite side as shown in FIG. 4B, and the plunger 36 is moved to the opposite side by energizing the coil 38 in one direction. And it is latched by the permanent magnet 41. When the coil 38 is energized in the direction opposite to the above, it turns from the off state to the on state.

The pair of antiparallel diodes D1 and D2 are for rectification, and switches 47 and 48 are connected to one end thereof as shown in the figure, and the remote switch SW is connected to the other end. Z is a surge absorbing element. The figure shows the ON operation of the plunger 36 from the OFF state. That is, when the remote switch SW is operated so that the diode D1 side is turned on and the diode D2 side is turned off, the normally closed contact NC of the switch 47 is closed, so that half-wave rectification flows through the coil 38 as indicated by an arrow. As a result, the plunger 36 is driven to leave the state where the switch 48 is pressed, then the switches 47 and 48 are both released, and then the switch 47 is pressed. When the switch 48 is released from the pressed state, the contact is switched from the normally open contact NO to the normally closed contact NC. When the switch 47 is pressed, the normally closed contact NC is opened and the normally open contact NO is closed, whereby the energization of the coil 38 is stopped. When the plunger 36 is turned off from the ON state, when the remote switch SW is operated in the opposite direction so that the diode D2 side is ON and the diode D1 side is OFF, the switch 47 is normally closed contact NO and the switch 48 is normally closed contact. Since the NC is closed, half-wave rectification flows through the coil 38 in the opposite direction as indicated by the arrow. At this time, a current of 1/2 flows through each of the switches 47 and 48. As a result, the plunger 36 is driven to the off side, contrary to the above-described operation, so that the switch 47 is released from the pressed state, then both the switches 47 and 48 are released, and then the switch 48 is pressed. . When the switch 47 is released from the pressed state, the contact is switched from the normally open contact NO to the normally closed contact NC. When the switch 48 is pressed, the normally closed contact NC is opened and the normally open contact NO is closed, whereby the energization of the coil 38 is stopped.
