A display window 17 is formed on the side of the upper surface of the casing 10 of the undervoltage circuit breaker opposite to the terminal portion 13.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the blocking mechanism 40 includes an interlocking piece 41, a movable link 50, a thrust bar 60, and a latch member 70. A display member 30 and a display latch member 80 are housed inside the housing 10 in order to display the operating state of the undervoltage circuit breaker.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the handle 20 includes a columnar rotation unit 21 and an operation unit 22. The rotation unit 21 rotates about a first rotation shaft 18 provided in the first cover 11. The handle 20 rotates about the first rotation shaft 18 when the operation unit 22 is operated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the operation portion 22 is provided with a square rod-like connecting rod 23 that is connected to the operation portion of the handle of the circuit breaker to be connected. Thereby, the handle 20 of the undervoltage circuit breaker can be rotated together with the handles of other circuit breakers by the connecting rod 23. Here, the time when the operation unit 22 is located on the side opposite to the terminal unit 13 is the on position (energization position), and the time when the operation unit 22 is located on the terminal unit 13 side is the off position (current interruption position). The handle 20 is constantly applied with an urging force in a direction rotating from the on position to the off position by the handle spring 25. The rotation direction of the handle 20 from the off position to the on position is referred to as “on rotation direction”, and the rotation direction of the handle 20 from the off position to the on position is referred to as “off rotation direction”.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the interlocking piece 41 is supported so as to be rotatable about a third rotation shaft 43. The interlocking piece 41 holds one end of a metal interlocking rod 42. The other end of the interlocking rod 42 protrudes from the slit 12b of the second cover 12 and is connected to an interlocking piece of another circuit breaker.

  The movable link 50, the latch member 70, and the display member 30 rotate about the second rotation shaft 19. Both ends of the second rotation shaft 19 are held by the housing 10. The movable link 50 is constantly applied with an urging force in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 by a return spring 55 made of a coil spring and a return spring 56 made of a torsion coil spring.

In addition, the display latch member 80 is constantly given a biasing force in the on-rotation direction of the handle 20 by a display latch spring 83 that is a torsion coil spring.
The thrust bar 60 is formed in a U shape by a metal round bar. The operation side end 61 of the thrust bar 60 is inserted into the connection hole 24 of the handle 20. The transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 is disposed in a link hole 54 formed by the engaging protrusion 51 of the movable link 50 and the latch piece 71 of the latch member 70. This state is a state where the thrust bar 60 is latched by the latch member 70 (latched state). In this latched state, the movement of the handle 20 is transmitted to the movable link 50 via the thrust bar 60.

  On the other hand, when the movable link 50 is driven by the electromagnetic trip device 90 and the movable link 50 and the latch member 70 are relatively rotated, the link hole 54 is opened. Then, the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 comes out of the link hole 54, and the thrust bar 60 is unlatched (latched state).

  The display latch member 80 is supported so as to be rotatable about the fourth rotation shaft 82. The display latch member 80 is constantly applied with an urging force in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 by the display latch spring 83. The upper end portion 81 of the display latch member 80 comes into contact with the engaging convex portion 32 provided on the lower side of the display member 30 from the lower side, so that the display member 30 cannot be rotated in the off rotation direction of the handle 20. ing. The tip of the display member 30 is a display unit 31 that displays a circuit state. The upper surface of the display unit 31 is divided into two regions along the direction of the display member 30. On the upper surface of the display member 30, a normal region 31a indicating a normal state and a trip region 31b indicating a trip state are arranged in order from the handle 20 side. One of these areas 31a and 31b is exposed from the display window 17.

  A circuit board 14 is accommodated in the housing 10. The circuit board 14 includes an electromagnetic trip device 90 that drives the latch member 70 in response to energization of the coil 92, and an excitation circuit that stops the excitation of the coil 92 of the electromagnetic trip device 90 when an abnormality in the power supply voltage is detected. The component is mounted.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the electromagnetic trip device 90 includes a synthetic resin bobbin 91, a coil 92, a fixed iron core 93, a spacer 100, a holder portion 96, a movable iron core 97, and a coil spring. 98. The fixed iron core 93 corresponds to the first iron core, and the movable iron core 97 corresponds to the second iron core.

  The fixed iron core 93 is a magnetic material (for example, iron) and is formed in a U shape by a plate material. The lower leg piece 95 of the fixed iron core 93 is inserted into the hole of the bobbin 91. At both ends of the bobbin 91, an insertion side flange 91a and a protruding side flange 91b are provided. The tip of the lower leg piece 95 of the fixed iron core 93 is exposed from the protruding side flange portion 91 b of the bobbin 91. A coil spring 98 is provided around the upper leg piece 94 of the fixed iron core 93.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the holder portion 96 is rotatably attached to the protruding side flange portion 91 b of the bobbin 91. A protrusion 96 b is provided at the tip of the holder portion 96. The protrusion 96b contacts the engaging protrusion 53 of the movable link 50 when the holder portion 96 is rotated, and rotates the movable link 50 in the on-rotation direction.

  A plate-like movable iron core 97 made of a magnetic material is held by the holder portion 96 via a leaf spring member B. The holder portion 96 rotates around a holder rotation shaft 96a held by the protruding side flange portion 91b. The movable iron core 97 is located between a position where it comes into contact with the tip surfaces (magnetic pole surfaces) of both leg pieces 94, 95 of the fixed iron core 93 and a position where it is separated from the tip surfaces (magnetic pole surfaces) of both leg pieces 94, 95 of the fixed iron core 93. It can be rotated with.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fixed iron core 93 is attached with a spacer 100 that suppresses the space between the outer circumference of the fixed iron core 93 and the inner circumference of the coil spring 98. The spacer 100 includes two plate pieces 101 and 102 extending in the extending direction of the upper leg piece 94 of the fixed iron core 93 and facing each other, and a connection piece 103 connecting the plate pieces 101 and 102. The spacer 100 is positioned in the front-rear direction by the connection piece 103 contacting the back surface 93 a of the fixed iron core 93. The spacer 100 is positioned in the vertical direction by the lower part of the plate pieces 101, 102 on the connection piece 103 side coming into contact with the insertion side flange 91 a of the bobbin 91. The outer shape of the spacer 100 is set so as not to generate a frictional force that prevents the coil spring 98 from expanding and contracting. The spacer 100 is located in the space between the outer periphery of the fixed iron core 93 and the inner periphery of the coil spring 98, thereby suppressing the coil spring 98 from being deformed inside the coil spring 98. For this reason, the coil spring 98 is not greatly deformed, and the load obtained from the coil spring 98 is stabilized. Further, the magnetic field is stabilized by stabilizing the coil spring load.

The operation of the undervoltage circuit breaker will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, an operation when the handle 20 is moved from the off position to the on position and the undervoltage circuit breaker is switched from the off state shown in FIG. 2 to the on state shown in FIG. 10 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the handle 20 is rotated from the off position toward the on position (on rotation direction), the engagement protrusion 51 of the movable link 50 is pushed by the thrust bar 60, and the movable link 50 is turned on. Rotate in the direction of rotation.

  Here, a straight line connecting the first rotation shaft 18 of the handle 20 and the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 is defined as a switching boundary line L. When the handle 20 is rotated and the operation side end 61 of the thrust bar 60 exceeds the switching boundary line L, the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 is stopped while being pressed against the engagement protrusion 51. At this time, the handle 20 and the thrust bar 60 are held in the on position, and the undervoltage circuit breaker is turned on.

  The latch member 70 receives the urging force of the latch spring 34 and rotates to a position where it comes into contact with the transmission side end 62 side of the thrust bar 60. When the locking portion 33 of the display member 30 is pushed by the movable link 50, the display member 30 rotates in the on rotation direction and moves to the display reset position. In this state, the display latch member 80 receives an urging force and moves to a position where the display member 30 can be latched. The interlocking piece 41 rotates in the on-rotation direction in accordance with the rotation of the movable link 50 and displaces the interlocking piece of another circuit breaker via the interlocking rod 42. Further, when the power supply voltage is normal in the ON state, the electromagnetic trip device 90 is energized to the coil 92 by the excitation circuit, and the movable iron core 97 is attracted to the fixed iron core 93. The holder portion 96 is in a state of rotating to the on position against the urging force of the coil spring 98. In this state, the protrusion 96 b at the tip of the holder portion 96 has moved to a position away from the movable link 50.

Next, the operation when the handle 20 is moved from the on position to the off position and the undervoltage circuit breaker is switched from the on state shown in FIG. 10 to the off state shown in FIG. 2 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, when the handle 20 is rotated in the off rotation direction from the on position to the off position, the latch member 70 is pulled by the thrust bar 60. The latch member 70 rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 against the urging force of the latch spring 34, and the link hole 54 is opened upward.

  The movable link 50 receives the urging force of the return springs 55, 56 and rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20, and is fixed to the engagement hole 11 b of the first cover 11 and the engagement hole 12 c of the second cover 12. Stops in contact with the rod-shaped fixing pin 99. The engagement hole 11b of the first cover 11 and the engagement hole 12c of the second cover 12 are formed in the vicinity of the protrusion 96b that is the end of the holder portion 96 opposite to the holder rotation shaft 96a. For this reason, the contact tip portion 57 that contacts the fixed pin 99 of the movable link 50 and the engagement protrusion 53 of the movable link 50 are brought close to each other, and the enlargement of the movable link 50 can be suppressed. Yes. Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fixing pin 99 is made of a metal material having higher rigidity than the iron core holder portion 96. For this reason, even if the movable link 50 receiving the urging force of the return springs 55 and 56 contacts the fixed pin 99, the metal fixed pin 99 having higher rigidity than the resin iron core holder portion 96 has a chipping or Occurrence of aging deterioration is suppressed.

  Then, the interlocking piece 41 rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 against the urging force by being pushed by the protrusion 72 of the latch member 70. The display member 30 receives the urging force of the latch spring 34 and rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20, and the engagement convex portion 32 comes into contact with the upper end portion 81 of the display latch member 80 and stops. In this state, the normal area 31 a of the display unit 31 is exposed from the display window 17.

The protrusion 96 b at the tip of the holder portion 96 is pushed by the engagement protrusion 53 when the movable link 50 rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20.
As a result, the holder portion 96 rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 so as to change from the state of FIG. 10 to the state of FIG. At this time, as described above, the movable link 50 abuts on the fixed pin 99, and the movement of the handle 20 in the off-rotation direction is restricted. For this reason, even if the holder portion 96 is rotated in the on-rotation direction (clockwise direction in FIG. 2) of the handle 20 about the holder rotation shaft 96a by the coil spring 98, the holder protrusion 96 of the movable link 50 The rotation of the part 96 is restricted.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the holder portion 96 and the movable link 50 include a side surface S <b> 1 positioned on the on-rotation direction side of the projection 96 b of the holder portion 96, and a distal end surface S <b> 2 of the engagement projection 53 of the movable link 50. Are in contact with each other substantially in parallel. Furthermore, each surface S1, S2 is orthogonal to the urging force of the coil spring 98 that rotates the holder portion 96 in the on-rotation direction of the handle 20. In FIG. 13, the angle θ formed by the surface RS parallel to the urging force of the coil spring and the side surface S1 is shown to be 90 degrees.

  The holder 96 is urged by the coil spring 98 in a state where the holder 96 is in contact with the engaging protrusion 53, whereby the position of the holder 96 is fixed and the movable core 97 is in contact with the magnetic pole surface of the fixed core 93. Is held in.

  Next, when the undervoltage breaker switches from the ON state shown in FIG. 10 to the trip state shown in FIG. 12 through the moment when the undervoltage trip occurs in FIG. The operation will be described.

  In the ON state shown in FIG. 10, when the excitation circuit detects that the power supply voltage is below a predetermined set value lower than the rated voltage (undervoltage condition), the excitation circuit trips the undervoltage circuit breaker. The switch connected in series to the coil 92 is turned off.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the energization to the coil 92 is stopped, and the electromagnetic attractive force generated between the fixed iron core 93 and the movable iron core 97 is eliminated, so that the holder portion 96 receives the urging force of the coil spring 98. Thus, the handle 20 rotates in the on-rotation direction. When the holder portion 96 rotates in the on-rotation direction of the handle 20, the contact surface 96 e of the holder portion 96 contacts the latch member 70, and the latch member 70 is rotated in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20, thereby transmitting the thrust bar 60 on the transmission side. The end 62 is separated from the latch piece 71 of the latch member 70. When the latch piece 71 of the latch member 70 is separated from the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60, the handle 20 rotates in the off-rotation direction around the operation side end 61.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 is disengaged outside the link hole 54, so that the movable link 50 that has lost the support of the thrust bar 60 receives the urging force of the return springs 55 and 56. The handle 20 rotates in the off rotation direction and moves to the off position. Further, the interlocking piece 41 is pushed upward by the protrusion 72 of the latch member 70, the opening / closing mechanism of another circuit breaker is driven by the interlocking rod 42, and the contact is turned off by the opening / closing mechanism. Thereby, the power supply to the load device connected to another circuit breaker is interrupted, and the load device can be protected. The holder portion 96 receives the biasing force of the coil spring 98 and rotates in the on-rotation direction of the handle 20, but when the projection 96b comes into contact with the engagement projection 53 of the movable link 50, the biasing force of the return springs 55 and 56 is obtained. Is set to be larger than the urging force of the coil spring 98, the handle 20 cannot be further rotated in the on-rotation direction.

  When the movable link 50 receives the urging force of the return springs 55 and 56 and rotates in the off rotation direction of the handle 20, the projection 96 b of the holder portion 96 is pushed by the engagement projection 53 of the movable link 50. Then, the holder part 96 rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 so as to change from the state of FIG. 11 to the state of FIG. At this time, as described above, the movable link 50 abuts on the fixed pin 99, and the movement of the handle 20 in the off-rotation direction is restricted. For this reason, even if the holder portion 96 is rotated by the coil spring 98 about the holder rotation shaft 96a in the ON rotation direction of the handle 20 (clockwise direction in FIG. 12), the engagement protrusion 53 of the movable link 50 causes the holder The rotation of the part 96 is restricted.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the holder portion 96 and the movable link 50 include a side surface S <b> 1 positioned on the on-rotation direction side of the projection 96 b of the holder portion 96, and a distal end surface S <b> 2 of the engagement projection 53 of the movable link 50. Are in contact with each other substantially in parallel. Furthermore, each surface S1, S2 is orthogonal to the urging force of the coil spring 98 that rotates the holder portion 96 in the on-rotation direction of the handle 20.

  The holder 96 is urged by the coil spring 98 in a state where the holder 96 is in contact with the engaging protrusion 53, whereby the position of the holder 96 is fixed and the movable core 97 is in contact with the magnetic pole surface of the fixed core 93. Is held in.

  Further, when the display latch member 80 is pushed by the protrusion 96c (see FIG. 3) of the holder portion 96 and rotates in the off rotation direction of the handle 20, the latch of the display member 30 is released. When the latch is released, the display member 30 receives the biasing force of the latch spring 34 and rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20. A trip area 31 b of the display unit 31 is exposed from the display window 17. After that, when the handle 20 receives the urging force of the handle spring 25 and rotates in the off-rotation direction of the handle 20 and moves to the off position, the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 passes through the opening of the link hole 54 and links. It is inserted into the hole 54 and moved to a position where it engages with the latch piece 71. At this time, the transmission side end 62 of the thrust bar 60 is inserted into the link hole 54 surrounded by the movable link 50 and the latch member 70, and the handle 20 is rotated in the on-rotation direction to move to the on position. Then, the state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained.

Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The electromagnetic trip device 90 changes the position of the movable link 50 against the pressing force of the movable link 50 while the movable core 50 and the fixed core 93 are in contact with each other. A fixing pin 99 for regulating is provided. As a result, the pressing force received by the holder portion 96 is reduced, so that the plastic deformation of the holder portion 96 is suppressed, and the shift of the stop position of the movable link 50 can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the contact state of each member by suppressing the displacement of the various movable members of the electromagnetic trip device 90 and the undervoltage circuit breaker including the same, and to stabilize the voltage characteristics. .

  (2) By providing the fixing pin 99 on the protrusion 96b side of the holder portion 96 that receives the pressing force from the movable link 50, it is possible to suppress the positional deviation of the fixing pin 99 with respect to the protrusion 96b. Thereby, the pressing force of the movable link 50 can be received at an appropriate position by the fixed pin 99, and the displacement of the movable link 50 can be suppressed.

  (3) The holder portion 96 is rotated by the coil spring 98 around the holder rotation shaft 96a in the direction in which the movable iron core 97 is separated from the fixed iron core 93, and serves as a contact when contacting the movable link 50. It has a side surface S1. The side surface S1 is orthogonal to the direction of action of the coil spring 98 that acts when the surface direction comes into contact with the movable link 50. For this reason, even if the holder part 96 contacts the movable link 50, the bending moment applied to the holder part 96 can be reduced. Thereby, the plastic deformation of the holder part 96 is suppressed, and the shift | offset | difference of the stop position of the movable link 50 can be suppressed more. In addition, the contact tip 57 that contacts the fixed pin 99 of the movable link 50 and the engagement protrusion 53 of the movable link 50 are in close proximity to each other, and the increase in size of the movable link 50 can be suppressed. .

(4) Since the fixing pins 99 are separate from the covers 11 and 12, the covers 11 and 12 can be used for other circuit breakers that do not require the fixing pins 99.
In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.

  In the above embodiment, the fixing pin 99 is fixed to the engagement holes 11b and 12c of the covers 11 and 12, but may be formed integrally with the covers 11 and 12 in advance. By setting it as such a structure, the increase in a number of parts can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, the fixing pin 99 has a substantially rod shape, but the shape is not limited thereto.
-In the said embodiment, although the undervoltage circuit breaker was employ | adopted as a circuit breaker, it is not restricted to this. For example, a circuit breaker having an electromagnetic trip device 90 may be applied to other circuit breakers such as an overvoltage circuit breaker.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) In the circuit breaker according to claim 4,
A handle that is rotatably supported between an on position that closes the movable contact with respect to the fixed contact and an off position that opens the movable contact with respect to the fixed contact;
A blocking mechanism that is directly or indirectly connected to the handle and that contacts and separates the movable contact with respect to the fixed contact in accordance with the rotation of the handle;
When the connected circuit reaches a predetermined circuit state, the electromagnetic trip device trips between the contacts to interrupt the circuit.

  Even if it is such a structure, the circuit breaker which can have the same effect as Claims 1-3 can be provided.
