<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excess current tripping arrangement in which a difference in distance between a bimetal and a suspending strip by a circuit breaker unit is prevented, and thereby the required time up to electric path interception is made constant even in a case a bimetal is rotated by the rotation in tightening a terminal in a loading side in a circuit breaker unit. <P>SOLUTION: The excess current tripping arrangement which is prepared in the inside of a case of a circuit breaker unit includes: a bimetal which is formed from a long plate and includes one end to be fixed; and a suspending strip to be pressure-driven by the bimetal. A contact surface between the bimetal and the suspending strip is deformed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、回路遮断器における過電流引き外し機構に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an overcurrent tripping mechanism in a circuit breaker.

従来、過電流引き外し機構を用いた回路遮断器には特許文献１に記載されているような、器体の内部に、ラッチ部材との係止が解除されると通常時に蓄積した力によって接点部を強制開極させる掛合片３１と、一端側を固定端とするとともに他端側を自由端とし、通電電路に過電流が流れたときに自由端が掛合片３１を係止解除方向に押圧駆動するバイメタル３２と、バイメタル３２と掛合片３１との相対的な位置関係を変化させる調整螺子と、調整螺子が螺合するねじ孔が貫設されたナット部材とを収納した回路遮断器があった。
特開２００８−３４３１３ Conventionally, circuit breakers using an overcurrent tripping mechanism have contact points with the force accumulated during normal operation when the latch with the latch member is released, as described in Patent Document 1, as described in Patent Document 1. Engagement piece 31 for forcibly opening the part and one end side as a fixed end and the other end side as a free end, and when the overcurrent flows through the energizing circuit, the free end presses the engagement piece 31 in the unlocking direction There is a circuit breaker that houses a bimetal 32 to be driven, an adjustment screw that changes the relative positional relationship between the bimetal 32 and the engagement piece 31, and a nut member through which a screw hole into which the adjustment screw is screwed. It was.
JP2008-34313

しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の発明では、引き締めネジによる締め付けが可撓電線を伝ってバイメタルに影響し、バイメタルも回動させる。これによって、回路遮断器によって引き外し部材とバイメタルとの距離に違いが生じ、電路が遮断されるまでの時間が一定ではなくなるという欠点がある。又、バイメタルの回動が過度である場合は通電してから、すぐに電路を遮断する恐れがあるという欠点がある。   However, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, the tightening by the tightening screw travels through the flexible wire to affect the bimetal, and the bimetal is also rotated. As a result, the circuit breaker causes a difference in the distance between the tripping member and the bimetal, and there is a disadvantage that the time until the electric circuit is interrupted is not constant. In addition, if the bimetal is excessively turned, there is a drawback that the electric circuit may be interrupted immediately after energization.

このため、本発明によって解決しようとする課題は、負荷側の端子を締め付けた際の回動によってバイメタルまでも回動した場合であっても、回路遮断器によってバイメタルと掛合片との距離に違いが生じることを防ぎ、電路が遮断されるまでの所要時間を一定に得られる過電流引外し機構を提供することにある。   Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the distance between the bimetal and the engagement piece is different by the circuit breaker even if the bimetal is rotated by the rotation when the load side terminal is tightened. It is an object of the present invention to provide an overcurrent tripping mechanism that prevents the occurrence of the occurrence of a fault and obtains a constant time until the electric circuit is cut off.

上記した課題を解決するためになされた本発明の過電流引外し機構は、回路遮断器のケース内部に設けられる過電流引き外し機構であって、この過電流引き外し機構は長板から形成されると共に一端を固定してなるバイメタルと、バイメタルによって押圧駆動する掛合片とからなり、バイメタルと掛合片との当接面において、この当接面を変形させて設けたものである。   The overcurrent tripping mechanism of the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problem is an overcurrent tripping mechanism provided inside a case of a circuit breaker, and this overcurrent tripping mechanism is formed from a long plate. In addition, a bimetal having one end fixed and an engaging piece that is pressed and driven by the bimetal, the abutting surface of the bimetal and the engaging piece is deformed and provided.

本発明の過電流引外し機構によれば、掛合片のバイメタルとの当接面を変形させて設けることで、端子ネジを締め付けた際に端子が回動した場合であっても、回路遮断器によって掛合片とバイメタルとの距離に違いが生じることを防ぐことが可能である。これにより、電路を遮断するまでの時間を一定に得ることが可能である。   According to the overcurrent tripping mechanism of the present invention, even if the terminal is rotated when the terminal screw is tightened by deforming the contact surface with the bimetal of the engagement piece, the circuit breaker is provided. It is possible to prevent a difference in the distance between the engaging piece and the bimetal. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a constant time until the electric circuit is cut off.

本発明では、電路の遮断までの時間を一定に得られる構造を少ない加工で可能にした。   In the present invention, a structure that can obtain a constant time until interruption of the electric circuit can be obtained with a small amount of processing.
