Description

この発明は、回路遮断器に於ける可動接触子装置の改良に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an improvement of a movable contact device in a circuit breaker.

周知のように、配線用回路遮断器若しくは漏電遮断器等の回路遮断器は、配電回路の電源側に接続される電源側端子と、配電回路の負荷側に接続される負荷側端子と、電源側端子に設けられた固定接点と、負荷側端子に接続され固定接点に対して接触又は離反し得る可動接点を夫々備えた可動接触子を含む可動接触子装置と、この可動接触子装置を駆動して可動接点を固定接点に対して接触又は離反させる開閉機構と、この開閉機構を手動により操作する操作ハンドルと、配電回路に所定の過電流が流れ若しくは漏電電流が流れたとき自動的に開閉機構を駆動して配電回路を遮断する自動引外し装置とを備える。   As is well known, a circuit breaker such as a circuit breaker for wiring or a circuit breaker includes a power supply side terminal connected to the power supply side of the distribution circuit, a load side terminal connected to the load side of the distribution circuit, and a power supply A movable contact device including a movable contact provided with a fixed contact provided on the side terminal and a movable contact connected to the load side terminal and capable of contacting or separating from the fixed contact, and driving the movable contact device An open / close mechanism that moves the movable contact to or away from the fixed contact, an operation handle that manually operates the open / close mechanism, and an automatic open / close when a predetermined overcurrent or leakage current flows through the power distribution circuit And an automatic trip device that drives the mechanism to shut off the power distribution circuit.

従来、このような回路遮断器の可動接触子装置として、一端部に可動接点を備えると共に他端部が軸ピンにより貫通された導電体よりなる複数の可動接触子と、これらの可動接触子の軸ピンを保持し各可動接触子をその軸ピンを中心として回転自在に支持する絶縁物製のクロスバーと、可動接触子の他端部を軸ピンの軸方向の両側から挟んで可動接触子の他端部に摺動接触する導電体からなる挟持片と、この挟持片に一端部が接続され他端部が負荷側端子に接続された可撓導体と、回路遮断器のオン動作時に可動接点に所定の接触圧力を付与する方向に可動接触子を付勢するねじりコイルばねとを備えた構成が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, as a movable contact device for such a circuit breaker, a plurality of movable contactors each having a movable contact at one end and having the other end penetrated by a shaft pin, Insulator crossbar that holds the shaft pin and supports each movable contactor rotatably around the shaft pin, and the movable contactor sandwiching the other end of the movable contactor from both sides in the axial direction of the shaft pin A holding piece made of a conductor that is in sliding contact with the other end of the wire, a flexible conductor having one end connected to the holding piece and the other end connected to the load side terminal, and movable when the circuit breaker is turned on. A configuration including a torsion coil spring that biases the movable contact in a direction in which a predetermined contact pressure is applied to the contact has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1に示された従来の可動接触子装置に於いて、前述の挟持片には切欠部が形成されており、この切欠部により可動接触子の他端部を貫通している軸ピンを受けるように構成されている。又、前述のねじりコイルばねは、一端部がクロスバーに固定され前述の軸ピンが挿入されて圧縮バネとなる一対のコイル部と、これらのコイル部の他端部同士を一体に連結する連結片とを有し、この連結片が前述の可動接触子に圧接することにより可動接触子をオン方向に常時付勢する構成とされている。   In the conventional movable contact device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a notch portion is formed in the above-described sandwiching piece, and a shaft pin penetrating the other end portion of the movable contact by the notch portion is provided. It is configured to receive. Further, the torsion coil spring described above is a connection in which one end portion is fixed to the crossbar and the shaft pin is inserted to form a compression spring and the other end portions of these coil portions are integrally connected. The connecting piece is configured to constantly urge the movable contact in the ON direction by pressing the connecting piece against the above-described movable contact.

特許文献1に記載された従来の可動接触子装置によれば、挟持片に形成された切欠部により可動接触子の他端部を貫通している軸ピンを受けるように構成されているので、可動接触子を軸ピンによってクロスバーに保持させた状態で、挟持片を介して可動接触子に可撓導体を接続することが可能となる。又、挟持片をねじりコイルばねのコイル部により可動接触子に圧接させることによって、可動接触子と挟持片との接触状態を安定させることができ、可動接触子が軸ピンを中心として回動する間に、可動接触子と可撓導体とを電気的に良好な接触状態に保つことが可能となる。   According to the conventional movable contact device described in Patent Document 1, because it is configured to receive the shaft pin that penetrates the other end of the movable contact by the notch formed in the clamping piece, In a state where the movable contact is held on the crossbar by the shaft pin, the flexible conductor can be connected to the movable contact via the sandwiching piece. Further, the contact state between the movable contact and the sandwiching piece can be stabilized by pressing the sandwiching piece against the movable contact by the coil portion of the torsion coil spring, and the movable contact rotates around the shaft pin. In the meantime, it is possible to keep the movable contact and the flexible conductor in an electrically good contact state.

特開2001−68008号公報JP 2001-68008 A

特許文献1に示された従来の回路遮断器の可動接触子装置にあっては、可動接触子装置の組み立て方法の一つとして、可動接触子とねじりコイルばねと軸ピンとを組み合わせた状態で軸ピンをクロスバーに固定すると共に、可撓導体に接続された挟持片の切欠部が軸ピンを受けるように挟持片をねじりコイルばねと可動接触子の間に挿入する方法がある。この可動接触子装置の組み立て方法の場合、ねじりコイルばねは、可動接触子とクロスバーにより挟まれた状態にあり、ねじりコイルばねのコイル部は圧縮されて圧縮ばねとしての付勢力を発生している。そのため、挟持片をねじりコイルばねと可動接触子との間へ挿入するには、挟持片がねじりコイルばねにより可動接触子の側面に押圧された状態で挟持片を可動接触子の側面で摺動させて行うこととなる。その結果、可動接触子の側面と挟持片の内側表面に擦り傷が発生することがある。   In the conventional movable contactor device for a circuit breaker disclosed in Patent Document 1, as one of the methods for assembling the movable contactor device, the movable contactor, the torsion coil spring, and the shaft pin are combined with each other. There is a method of fixing the pin to the cross bar and inserting the clamping piece between the torsion coil spring and the movable contact so that the notch of the clamping piece connected to the flexible conductor receives the shaft pin. In this method of assembling the movable contact device, the torsion coil spring is sandwiched between the movable contact and the crossbar, and the coil portion of the torsion coil spring is compressed to generate an urging force as a compression spring. Yes. Therefore, in order to insert the clamping piece between the torsion coil spring and the movable contact, the clamping piece is slid on the side of the movable contact while the clamping piece is pressed against the side of the movable contact by the torsion coil spring. Will be done. As a result, scratches may occur on the side surface of the movable contact and the inner surface of the holding piece.

一方、可動接触子装置の別の組み立て方法として、予め可動接触子と挟持片とを一体に組合わせた後に、この可動接触子と挟持片とをクロスバーへ装着する方法がある。この可動接触子装置の組立て方法の場合、予め一体に組合わせた可動接触子と挟持片をクロスバーに装着するとき、挟持片が可動接触子から抜け落ちる可能性がある。   On the other hand, as another method for assembling the movable contact device, there is a method in which the movable contact and the sandwiching piece are assembled together in advance, and then the movable contact and the sandwiching piece are attached to the crossbar. In the case of this method of assembling the movable contact device, when the movable contact and the clamping piece combined together in advance are attached to the cross bar, the clamping piece may fall off the movable contact.

この発明は、従来の回路遮断器の可動接触子装置に於ける前述のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、可動接触子装置の組み立てが容易であり、かつ、構成部品点数の少ない回路遮断器の可動接触子装置を提供することを目的としたものである。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems in the movable contact device of the conventional circuit breaker. The movable contact device can be easily assembled, and the number of components can be reduced. The object of the present invention is to provide a movable contactor device with few circuit breakers.

可動接触子支持部材10の基部11は、負荷側接続導体41を介して負荷側端子4に接続されている。前述のクロスバー6と、可動接点7と、可動接触子8と、接圧ばね9と、可動接触子支持部材10とは、この発明の実施の形態1による可動接触子装置12を構成している。この可動接触子装置12の構成の詳細については後述する。   The base 11 of the movable contact support member 10 is connected to the load side terminal 4 via the load side connection conductor 41. The cross bar 6, the movable contact 7, the movable contact 8, the contact pressure spring 9, and the movable contact support member 10 constitute the movable contact device 12 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Yes. Details of the configuration of the movable contact device 12 will be described later.

下部リンク13は、その一端部がクロスバー6に回動自在に連結され、他端部が上部リンク14の一端部に回動自在に連結されている。操作機構部15は、一端部がベース1に回動自在に支持され、その他端部には操作員により操作される操作ハンドル16が固定されている。前述の上部リンク14は、その他端部が操作機構部15の他端部側に回動自在に連結されている。引っ張りコイルばねにより形成されたトグルばね17は、その一端部が下部リンク13と上部リンク14との連結部に固定され、他端部が操作機構部15の他端部に固定されている。   One end of the lower link 13 is rotatably connected to the cross bar 6, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the upper link 14. One end portion of the operation mechanism portion 15 is rotatably supported by the base 1, and an operation handle 16 that is operated by an operator is fixed to the other end portion. The other end of the upper link 14 is rotatably connected to the other end of the operation mechanism unit 15. One end of the toggle spring 17 formed by the tension coil spring is fixed to the connecting portion between the lower link 13 and the upper link 14, and the other end is fixed to the other end of the operation mechanism portion 15.

上部リンク14と下部リンク13とトグルばね17とは、所謂、トグルリンク機構を構成している。いま、図示のようにハンドル16が図の右方の位置である閉位置にある状態から、操作員により操作ハンドル16が図の左方へ操作されたとすると、操作機構部15がその一端部を中心として図の左方の開位置の方向へ回動する。これにより、トグルばね17の一端部が操作機構部15の回動と共に図の左方へ移動して上部リンク14と操作機構部15との連結点を越えて左側へ移動する。   The upper link 14, the lower link 13, and the toggle spring 17 constitute a so-called toggle link mechanism. Now, assuming that the operating handle 16 is operated to the left in the figure by the operator from the state where the handle 16 is in the closed position, which is the right side in the figure, as shown in the figure, the operating mechanism unit 15 moves its one end. It rotates in the direction of the open position on the left side of the figure as the center. As a result, one end of the toggle spring 17 moves to the left in the drawing along with the rotation of the operation mechanism 15 and moves to the left beyond the connection point between the upper link 14 and the operation mechanism 15.

このとき、上部リンク14と下部リンク13との図示の整列関係は崩れ、下部リンク13は、トグルばね17の引っ張り力により図の上方へ急速に引き上げられる。この動作の過程に於いて、下部リンク13の一端部に連結されているクロスバー6が反時計方向に急速に回動して可動接触子8を反時計方向に回動させて可動接点7を固定接点5から離反させる。これにより電気回路は遮断される。   At this time, the illustrated alignment relationship between the upper link 14 and the lower link 13 is broken, and the lower link 13 is rapidly pulled upward in the drawing by the pulling force of the toggle spring 17. In the process of this operation, the cross bar 6 connected to one end of the lower link 13 rapidly rotates counterclockwise, and the movable contact 8 rotates counterclockwise to move the movable contact 7. Separate from the fixed contact 5. As a result, the electric circuit is interrupted.

一方、開位置にあるハンドル16が図の右方の閉位置へ操作されたとすると、操作機構部15がその一端部を中心として図の右方の閉位置の方向へ回動する。これにより、トグルばね17の一端部が操作機構部15の回動と共に図の右方へ移動して上部リンク14と操作機構部15との連結点を越えて右側へ移動する。これにより、上部リンク14と下部リンク13とはトグルばね17の引っ張り力により図示の状態に整列関係となる。この動作の過程に於いて、下部リンク13は、クロスバー6を時計方向に急速に回動させて可動接触子8を時計方向に回動させ、可動接点7を固定接点5に接触させる。これにより、電気回路は閉じられる。可動接触子8は、接圧ばね9により付勢され、固定接点5に接触している可動接点7に所定の接触圧力を付与する。   On the other hand, if the handle 16 in the open position is operated to the closed position on the right side of the figure, the operation mechanism unit 15 rotates around the one end portion in the direction of the closed position on the right side of the figure. As a result, one end of the toggle spring 17 moves to the right in the drawing along with the rotation of the operation mechanism 15 and moves to the right beyond the connection point between the upper link 14 and the operation mechanism 15. Thereby, the upper link 14 and the lower link 13 are aligned in the state shown in the figure by the pulling force of the toggle spring 17. In the process of this operation, the lower link 13 rapidly rotates the cross bar 6 in the clockwise direction, rotates the movable contact 8 in the clockwise direction, and contacts the movable contact 7 with the fixed contact 5. Thereby, the electric circuit is closed. The movable contact 8 is urged by a contact pressure spring 9 and applies a predetermined contact pressure to the movable contact 7 that is in contact with the fixed contact 5.

自動引外し装置18は、操作ハンドル16が図示の閉位置にあるとき、つまり可動接点7が固定接点5に接触して電気回路を閉じているときは、上部リンク14の一部に係合して上部リンク14がその他端部を中心として反時計方向に回動するのをラッチしている。自動引外し機構18には、例えばバイメタルによる限時引外し機構と、電磁石による瞬時引外し機構とが設けられている。   The automatic trip device 18 is engaged with a part of the upper link 14 when the operation handle 16 is in the illustrated closed position, that is, when the movable contact 7 is in contact with the fixed contact 5 to close the electric circuit. Thus, the upper link 14 is latched to rotate counterclockwise around the other end. The automatic trip mechanism 18 is provided with, for example, a time trip trip mechanism using bimetal and an instantaneous trip mechanism using an electromagnet.

電気回路に所定値以上の過電流が所定時間以上継続して流れると、自動引外し装置18の限時引外し機構が動作し、前述のラッチを解く。その結果、上部リンク18はトグルばね17の引っ張り力によりその他端部を中心として反時計方向に急速に回動すると共に下部リンク13は急速に図の上方へ引き上げられ、同時にクロスバー6は反時計方向へ回動する。これにより、可動接触子8の可動接点7は、固定接点5から急速に離反し、電気回路を遮断する。電気回路に短絡電流のような過大電流が流れると、自動引外し装置18の瞬時引外し機構が動作し、前述のラッチを解く。これにより前述の限時引外し機構による動作と同様の動作により電気回路を瞬時に遮断する。   When an overcurrent of a predetermined value or more continues to flow in the electric circuit for a predetermined time or longer, the time trip mechanism of the automatic trip device 18 operates to release the aforementioned latch. As a result, the upper link 18 rapidly rotates counterclockwise around the other end due to the pulling force of the toggle spring 17, and the lower link 13 is rapidly pulled upward in the figure, and at the same time the cross bar 6 is counterclockwise. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the movable contact 7 of the movable contact 8 is rapidly separated from the fixed contact 5 and interrupts the electric circuit. When an excessive current such as a short-circuit current flows in the electric circuit, the instantaneous trip mechanism of the automatic trip device 18 operates to release the aforementioned latch. As a result, the electric circuit is instantaneously interrupted by the same operation as that of the time-delay trip mechanism described above.

次に、この発明の実施の形態1による可動接触子装置12の構成について詳細に説明する。図2乃至図7に於いて、クロスバー6は、前述したように合成樹脂材料により形成されており、その軸方向の両端部がベース1に回動自在に支持される。クロスバー6には、U相、V相、W相に対応する可動接触子8、接圧ばね9、及び可動接触子受部材10を夫々装着するための3個の可動接触子装着部60が、等しい間隔Wにて設けられている。   Next, the configuration of the movable contact device 12 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail. 2 to 7, the cross bar 6 is formed of a synthetic resin material as described above, and both end portions in the axial direction are rotatably supported by the base 1. The cross bar 6 has three movable contact mounting portions 60 for mounting the movable contact 8, the contact pressure spring 9, and the movable contact receiving member 10 corresponding to the U phase, V phase, and W phase, respectively. Are provided at equal intervals W.

クロスバー6は、前述の夫々の可動接触子装着部60に於いて、クロスバーの周面に開口する開口部6001を備えた凹部600を備える。この凹部600は、前述の開口部6001から前記クロスバー6の軸方向に対して直交する方向に貫通する貫通孔601と、前記開口部6001と一体化した開口部6021、6031を有し前記貫通孔601の前記軸方向の両側から前記軸方向に夫々陥没する1対の陥没部602、603とを備えている。   The cross bar 6 includes a concave portion 600 having an opening 6001 that opens on the peripheral surface of the cross bar in each of the movable contact mounting portions 60 described above. The recess 600 includes a through hole 601 that penetrates from the opening 6001 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the crossbar 6, and openings 6021 and 6031 that are integrated with the opening 6001. A pair of recessed portions 602 and 603 that are recessed in the axial direction from both sides of the hole 601 in the axial direction are provided.

図5に良く示されているように、貫通孔601は、開口部6011に対して反対側のクロスバー6の周面に開口する開口部6012と、貫通孔601の途中から前述の開口部6012まで延びる凹溝6013を備えている。又、一対の陥没部602、603は、夫々後述する接圧ばね9の一対のコイルばね部91、92の外周部に当接してこれらのコイルばね部91、92の外径を保持するU字状のばね保持壁6022と、このばね保持壁6022につながる平坦状の壁面6023とを備えている。尚、図には陥没部603のばね保持壁と平坦状の壁面は図示されていないが、陥没部602のばね保持壁2022と壁面6023と同様に形成されている。尚、前述の貫通孔601と、一対の陥没部602、603との内部空間は、図示のように相互に連通しているものである。   As well shown in FIG. 5, the through hole 601 includes an opening 6012 that opens on the peripheral surface of the cross bar 6 on the opposite side to the opening 6011, and the above-described opening 6012 from the middle of the through hole 601. A concave groove 6013 extending to the top is provided. Further, the pair of depressed portions 602 and 603 are U-shaped that abut against the outer peripheral portions of a pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92 of a contact pressure spring 9 to be described later and hold the outer diameters of the coil spring portions 91 and 92, respectively. And a flat wall surface 6023 connected to the spring holding wall 6022. Although the spring holding wall and the flat wall surface of the depressed portion 603 are not shown in the drawing, they are formed in the same manner as the spring holding wall 2022 and the wall surface 6023 of the depressed portion 602. In addition, the internal space of the above-mentioned through-hole 601 and a pair of depression part 602,603 is mutually connected like illustration.

前述の貫通孔601に設けられている凹溝6013の両側壁は、貫通孔601の両側壁から傾斜面6014を介して貫通孔601の内側に張り出している(図5には、一方の側壁のみが表示されているが、他方の側壁も同様に形成されている)。この凹溝6013の溝幅は、可動接触子8を構成する導電部材の板厚寸法よりやや大きい程度の寸法に形成されており、従って、凹溝6013は、可動接触子8於けるクロスバー6の軸方向への移動を規制する作用を成すものである。   Both side walls of the concave groove 6013 provided in the above-described through hole 601 protrude from the both side walls of the through hole 601 to the inside of the through hole 601 through the inclined surface 6014 (FIG. 5 shows only one side wall. Is displayed, but the other side wall is also formed in the same manner). The groove width of the concave groove 6013 is formed to be slightly larger than the thickness of the conductive member constituting the movable contact 8, and therefore the concave groove 6013 is formed on the cross bar 6 in the movable contact 8. This serves to regulate the movement of the lens in the axial direction.

可動接触子支持部材10は、回路遮断器100のベース1に固定される基部11と、この基部11から垂直に立上げられて、先端部が平行に対向する一対の接続導体部101、102と、この一対の接続導体部101、102の相対向する壁面から夫々突出するように設けられた一対の突出部103(図3乃至5には、接続導体部101の突出部の根元部103のみを表示している)とを備えている。可動接触子支持部材10の基部11は、その接続導体部101、102の立上げ部に、この立上げ部の弾性力に抗して前述の負荷側接続導体41を挿入することにより、この負荷側接続導体41と電気的に接続される。   The movable contact support member 10 includes a base portion 11 fixed to the base 1 of the circuit breaker 100, and a pair of connection conductor portions 101 and 102 that are vertically raised from the base portion 11 and have tip portions facing each other in parallel. The pair of protrusions 103 provided so as to protrude from the opposing wall surfaces of the pair of connection conductors 101 and 102 (only the base portion 103 of the protrusion of the connection conductor 101 is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5). Display). The base portion 11 of the movable contact support member 10 is inserted into the rising portions of the connecting conductor portions 101 and 102 by inserting the aforementioned load side connecting conductor 41 against the elastic force of the rising portions. The side connection conductor 41 is electrically connected.

可動接触子8は、一端部に可動接点7が固着され、他端部に貫通孔81を備えている。可動接触子8の貫通孔81には、可動接触子支持部材10の接続導体部101、102に夫々設けられた前述の一対の突出部が可動接触子8の両側部から挿入される。これにより、可動接触子8の他端部は、可動接触子支持部材10により回動自在に支持される。可動接触子支持部材10の接続導体部101、102の内側面は、可動接触子8の両側面に摺動可能に電気的に接触する。従がって、この構成は、可撓導線からなるシャント線を可動接触子8と負荷側接続導体41との間に接続する必要性をなくするものであり、所謂、シャントレス通電接続構造を構成している。   The movable contact 8 has a movable contact 7 fixed to one end and a through hole 81 at the other end. In the through hole 81 of the movable contact 8, the above-described pair of protrusions provided on the connection conductor portions 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10 are inserted from both sides of the movable contact 8. Thereby, the other end part of the movable contact 8 is rotatably supported by the movable contact support member 10. The inner side surfaces of the connecting conductor portions 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10 are in electrical contact with both side surfaces of the movable contact 8 so as to be slidable. Therefore, this configuration eliminates the need to connect a shunt wire made of a flexible conductive wire between the movable contact 8 and the load side connection conductor 41, and a so-called shuntless energization connection structure is provided. It is composed.

接圧ばね9は、ダブルトーション形ねじりコイルはねとして構成されている。即ち、接圧ばね9は、夫々所定のピッチ角度を有してピッチ巻きされた圧縮コイルばねとしての一対のコイルばね部91、92と、これらの1対のコイルばね部91、92の夫々の一端部を相互に連結して可動接触子8の一端部側に延びて可動接触子8の背面82に当接して前記接触圧力を付与すべく前記可動接触子8を付勢する腕状ばね部93と、一対のコイルばね部91、92の夫々の他端部から可動接触子8の一端部側とは逆の方向に延び、接圧ばね9の陥没部602、603への嵌装時に陥没部602、603の壁面6023に当接する一対の足部911、921とを備えている。   The contact pressure spring 9 is configured as a double torsion type torsion coil spring. That is, the contact pressure spring 9 includes a pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92 as compression coil springs wound with a predetermined pitch angle, and a pair of the coil spring portions 91 and 92, respectively. An arm-like spring portion that connects the one end portions to each other, extends toward one end portion of the movable contact 8 and abuts against the back surface 82 of the movable contact 8 to urge the movable contact 8 to apply the contact pressure. 93 and the other end portions of the pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92 extend in the opposite direction to the one end portion side of the movable contact 8 and are depressed when the contact pressure spring 9 is fitted into the depressed portions 602 and 603. And a pair of feet 911 and 921 in contact with the wall surface 6023 of the portions 602 and 603.

図8に示すように、接圧ばね9のコイルばね部91は、クロスバー6の陥没部603に嵌装された状態で、その外周部が陥没部603(図示せず)のばね保持壁(図示せず)に当接し、腕状ばね部93はE点に於いて可動接触子8の背面に当接し、足部911はF点に於いて陥没部603の壁面(図示せず)に当接する。その結果、コイルばね部91はG点に於いて陥没部603のばね保持壁にH方向に押圧されてその外径が保持される。従って、従来のように軸ピンをコイルばね部91、92に貫通させることなく、コイルばね部91、92の外径保持することができると共にクロスバー6に装着することが可能である。   As shown in FIG. 8, the coil spring portion 91 of the contact pressure spring 9 is fitted in the depressed portion 603 of the cross bar 6, and the outer peripheral portion thereof is a spring holding wall (not shown) of the depressed portion 603 (not shown). (Not shown), the arm-shaped spring portion 93 comes into contact with the back surface of the movable contact 8 at point E, and the foot portion 911 hits the wall surface (not shown) of the depressed portion 603 at point F. Touch. As a result, the coil spring portion 91 is pressed in the H direction against the spring holding wall of the depressed portion 603 at the point G, and the outer diameter thereof is held. Therefore, it is possible to hold the outer diameter of the coil spring portions 91 and 92 and to attach the shaft pin to the cross bar 6 without penetrating the shaft pins through the coil spring portions 91 and 92 as in the prior art.

次に、可動接触子装置12の組立方法について説明する。図3乃至図6に於いて、先ず、可動接触子8の他端部を可動接触子支持部材10の一対の接続導体部101、102の間に挿入し、可動接触子8の他端部に形成された貫通孔81内に、一対の接続導体部101、102の内側側面に形成された一対の突出部を可動接触子8の両側部から嵌挿する。   Next, an assembling method of the movable contact device 12 will be described. 3 to 6, first, the other end of the movable contact 8 is inserted between the pair of connection conductors 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10, and the other end of the movable contact 8 is inserted into the other end of the movable contact 8. A pair of projecting portions formed on the inner side surfaces of the pair of connecting conductor portions 101 and 102 are fitted into the formed through holes 81 from both side portions of the movable contact 8.

その後、接圧ばね9の腕状ばね部93を可動接触子12の背面82に当接させると共に、接圧ばね9の一対のコイルばね部91、92の軸方向の内側端部を可動接触子支持部材10の一対の接続導体部101、102の外側面に夫々当接させる。即ち、一対のコイルばね部91、92により可動接触子支持部材10の接続導体部101、102を挟み込むようにして、接圧ばね9を可動接触子8の他端部及び可動接触子支持部材10に装着する。   Thereafter, the arm-shaped spring portion 93 of the contact pressure spring 9 is brought into contact with the back surface 82 of the movable contact 12, and the axially inner end portions of the pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92 of the contact pressure spring 9 are moved to the movable contact. The outer surfaces of the pair of connecting conductor portions 101 and 102 of the support member 10 are brought into contact with each other. In other words, the contact springs 9 and the other end of the movable contact 8 and the movable contact support member 10 are sandwiched between the connection conductor portions 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10 by the pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92. Attach to.

次に、接圧ばね9の一対のコイルばね部91、92の軸方向の外側端部を把持してこれらのコイルばね部91、92をそのばね力に抗して圧縮し、その状態のまま、図3乃至図4に示すクロスバー6の開口部6001から貫通孔601内に可動接触子8をその一端部から挿入して行き、可動接触子8の一端部を貫通孔601を貫通して開口部6012から突出させる。このとき同時に、接圧ばね9は、コイルばね部91、92が圧縮されたままクロスバー6の一対の陥没部602、603に夫々の開口部6021、6031から挿入され、夫々のコイルばね91、92の外周部の一部が夫々の陥没部602、603のU字状のばね保持壁6022に当接する。   Next, the outer ends in the axial direction of the pair of coil spring portions 91 and 92 of the contact pressure spring 9 are gripped, and the coil spring portions 91 and 92 are compressed against the spring force, and remain in that state. 3 to 4, the movable contact 8 is inserted into the through hole 601 from the opening 6001 of the cross bar 6 shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, and one end of the movable contact 8 passes through the through hole 601. Project from the opening 6012. At the same time, the contact pressure spring 9 is inserted into the pair of recessed portions 602 and 603 of the crossbar 6 from the respective openings 6021 and 6031 while the coil spring portions 91 and 92 are compressed. A part of the outer peripheral portion of 92 is in contact with the U-shaped spring holding wall 6022 of the respective recessed portions 602 and 603.

接圧ばね9がクロスバー6の夫々の凹部602、603に挿入されるとき、その挿入動作の中で接圧ばね9の一対の足部911、921が、一対の陥没部凹部602、603の壁面6023に自然に当接される。又、接圧ばね9のコイルばね部91、92は、陥没部602、603内に挿入されて前述の把持から開放されると、そのばね力により軸方向に伸び、その軸方向の外側端部が夫々の陥没部602、603の側壁部に当接する。このときコイルばね部91、92は、圧縮された状態を保持している。   When the contact pressure spring 9 is inserted into the respective recesses 602 and 603 of the cross bar 6, the pair of feet 911 and 921 of the contact pressure spring 9 is inserted into the recesses 602 and 603 of the pair of recesses 603 during the insertion operation. It naturally abuts against the wall surface 6023. Further, when the coil spring portions 91 and 92 of the contact pressure spring 9 are inserted into the recessed portions 602 and 603 and released from the above-described gripping, they are extended in the axial direction by the spring force, and the outer end portions in the axial direction thereof. Comes into contact with the side wall portions of the respective recessed portions 602 and 603. At this time, the coil spring portions 91 and 92 hold the compressed state.

接圧ばね9の軸方向の内側端部は、そのばね力により可動接触子支持部材10の接続導体部101、102を可動接触子8の両側面部側へ押圧する。その結果、可動接触子8と可動接触子支持部材10の接続導体部101、102とはシャントレス接触部としての接触圧力が保たれ、両者は、摺動可能であり且つ電気的接続が保たれる。以上で可動接触子装置12の組み立て作業は終了し、図2及び図7に示す可動接触子装置12が構成される。   The axially inner end portion of the contact pressure spring 9 presses the connecting conductor portions 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10 toward the both side surfaces of the movable contact 8 by the spring force. As a result, the contact pressure as the shuntless contact portion between the movable contact 8 and the connection conductor portions 101 and 102 of the movable contact support member 10 is maintained, and both are slidable and kept in electrical connection. It is. The assembly work of the movable contact device 12 is thus completed, and the movable contact device 12 shown in FIGS. 2 and 7 is configured.

以上述べたように、この発明の実施の形態1による回路遮断器の可動接触子装置12は、可動接触子8と可動接触子支持部材10を接続した状態にてクロスバー6への装着が可能であり、かつ、接圧ばね9のコイルばね部91、92を圧縮してクロスバー6の凹部600に挿入する動作のみで接圧ばね9の足部911、921が凹部の壁面に係合し、可動接触子8への所定の回転モーメントを得ることができるため、接圧ばね9挿入後の接圧ばねの足部911、921のばね掛け作業が不要となり、組立時間の短縮が可能である。又、接圧ばね9のコイルばね部91、92の外形をクロスバー6の凹部600を形成する陥没部602、603のU字状のばね保持壁6022によって保持するため、接圧ばね9を保持する軸ピン等が不要であり部品点数の削減も可能である。更に、可動接触子の両側面と接続導体部の内側面に、従来の装置のように組み立て時に擦り傷が発生することがなく、長寿命化が可能である。   As described above, the movable contact device 12 of the circuit breaker according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be mounted on the crossbar 6 with the movable contact 8 and the movable contact supporting member 10 connected. The foot portions 911 and 921 of the contact pressure spring 9 are engaged with the wall surface of the recess only by the operation of compressing the coil spring portions 91 and 92 of the contact pressure spring 9 and inserting them into the recess 600 of the crossbar 6. Since a predetermined rotational moment to the movable contact 8 can be obtained, the springing work of the foot portions 911 and 921 of the contact pressure spring after the contact pressure spring 9 is inserted becomes unnecessary, and the assembly time can be shortened. . Further, since the outer shape of the coil spring portions 91 and 92 of the contact pressure spring 9 is held by the U-shaped spring holding wall 6022 of the recessed portions 602 and 603 that form the recess 600 of the crossbar 6, the contact pressure spring 9 is held. This eliminates the need for a shaft pin or the like to reduce the number of parts. Further, the side surfaces of the movable contact and the inner surface of the connecting conductor portion are not scratched during assembly unlike conventional devices, and the life can be extended.
