Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a circuit breaker with a terminal unit in which terminal units connected to conductive bars arranged on the bottom surface of a distribution board are arranged on the bottom surface of the circuit breaker.

There has been a circuit breaker having a terminal called a conventional plug-in terminal. In this structure, a receiving blade 34 that receives the conductive bar 32 is attached to the bottom surface 31 of the case in a groove 33 provided to face the conductive bar 32. The receiving blade 34 has a spring property, is formed in a substantially U shape, is provided with a constriction 35 at both ends, and is formed in a clip shape. The conductive bar 32 is engaged with the receiving blade 34 to conduct, and the constricted portion 35 of the receiving blade 34 is in contact with the conductive bar 32. At this time, the contact between the conductive bar 32 and the receiving blade 34 was a line contact.
JP 2008-123779 A

  According to the above-described prior art, the conductive bar 32 and the receiving blade 34 are brought into contact with each other to be conducted. However, the receiving bar 34 must be opened and inserted into the conductive bar 32, and a strong force is required to attach the circuit breaker. It was necessary to install and remove. Further, since the contact between the conductive bar 32 and the receiving blade 34 is a line contact, there is a drawback that the contact area is small and heat is easily generated.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide a structure of a circuit breaker with a terminal unit that is reliably conducted with a simple structure, and the structure is provided on a conductive bar on a bottom portion of a case constituting the terminal unit. Opposing grooves are provided, and a conductor urged toward the conductive bar by a spring body is provided inside the groove.

  The structure of the circuit breaker with terminal unit according to the present invention is such that a groove facing the conductive bar is provided on the bottom surface of the case constituting the terminal unit, and the groove is biased toward the conductive bar by a spring body. Since the conductor is provided, the conductor can be conducted simply by contacting the conductor with the conductive bar. Therefore, the circuit breaker can be easily attached and detached, and reliable conduction can be obtained.

  An embodiment of a terminal structure of a circuit breaker with a terminal unit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGS.

  Conductive bars R, S, and T for R phase, S phase, and T phase are laid on the bottom surface of the distribution board. The conductive bars R, S, and T are arranged at a certain distance in order to secure an insulation distance. At this time, the conductive bars R, S, and T are arranged vertically with respect to the bottom surface of the distribution board so as to save space. Terminals 1, 1, 1 connected to the conductive bars R, S, T are provided on the bottom surface portion 3 of the terminal unit 12. The terminal unit 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the circuit breaker 2 and constitutes a circuit breaker with a terminal unit.

  The structure of the terminal unit 12 provided on the bottom surface of the circuit breaker 2 will be described. On the bottom surface portion 3 of the terminal unit 12, grooves 4, 4, 4 into which the conductive bars R, S, T can be inserted are formed at positions facing the arrangement of the conductive bars R, S, T. A connection bar 6 connected to a terminal 5 provided at the end in the longitudinal direction of the circuit breaker 2 is provided at the back of the groove 4. The conductors 8, 8, 8 are attached to the lower surface of the connection bar 6 with springs 7, 7, 7 biased toward the conductive bars R, S, T.

  Circuit breaker mounting portions 9 and 9 are provided on the bottom surface of the distribution board. The circuit breaker 2 is provided with mounting portions 10 and 10 facing the circuit breaker mounting portions 9 and 9. Yes. When the circuit breaker mounting part 9 is opposed to the circuit breaker mounting part 9 and the circuit breaker 2 is mounted, the conductive bars R, S, T are connected to the terminal 5 provided on the bottom surface part 3 of the circuit breaker 2. Is a positional relationship. When the circuit breaker 2 is pushed in with the conductive bars R, S, T aligned with the grooves 4, 4, 4, and the circuit breaker 2 is fixed to the circuit breaker mounting portions 9, 9 with screws 11, the conductive bars R, The conductors 8, 8, and 8 are pressed against S and T, and are securely connected and electrically connected.

  The connection between the conductive bars R, S, T and the conductors 8, 8, 8 is surface contact, and the contact area is larger than that of a conventional plug-in terminal, so that reliable connection can be expected. Moreover, since the conductors 8, 8, and 8 are energized by the spring bodies 7, 7, 7, the conductors and the conductive bars R, S, T are securely connected only by attaching the circuit breaker 2 to the distribution board. Is connected, and it is easy to install and remove. When the circuit breaker 2 is disconnected from the conductive bars R, S, T, the arc does not come out of the case, and the work can be performed safely.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the connection with the conductor bar of a circuit breaker. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which connected the circuit breaker with the conductor bar. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which connected the conventional circuit breaker and the conductor bar.
