Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field] This invention relates to a remote control type circuit breaker.

[Background technology]

Since remote-controlled circuit breakers are controlled remotely, it is necessary to be able to check the actual on, off, or trip status of the circuit breakers from a distance. Conventionally, from Utility Model Application No. 49-138374, Utility Model Application No. 57-22152, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 48-13868, etc., a switch is operated in conjunction with the operation of a mechanical part, and a predetermined operating state is determined by a signal from the switch. It was thought that it would be possible to confirm this from a distance.

However, it requires positional accuracy between the mechanism and the switch and has a complicated structure, and has the disadvantage that it is not easy to change the interlocking object of the mechanism from, for example, trip operation to on/off operation interlock.

[Purpose of invention]

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a remote control type circuit breaker that has a simple structure, can reduce the positional accuracy of the switch, and can easily change the interlocking object of the mechanism.

[Disclosure of invention]

This invention consists of an outer shell whose interior is divided into one chamber and another chamber by a partition plate having a support hole and an arcuate groove centered on the support hole; A mechanism section having a pivot pin for a link mechanism that passes through a support hole toward the other chamber, an option switch housed in the other chamber, and a winding section supported by the pivot pin in the other chamber are arranged in the middle. A hook piece which is provided in the part and which engages with the mechanism part through the circular arc groove is formed by bending one end part in the axial direction of the winding part, and the other end part is engaged with the option switch so that the mechanism part is engaged with the mechanism part. and an elastic link that operates the option switch in conjunction with a predetermined operation of the section.

According to the configuration of this invention, when the mechanism section operates, the link rotates about the pivot pin of the mechanism section as a fulcrum, and the option switch operates. In this case, since the winding part of the link is supported by the pivot pin of the mechanism part, there is no need to increase the number of parts.
In addition, the structure can be simplified, and since an elastic link is provided, the positional accuracy of the option switch can be relaxed. Furthermore, by replacing the links, the object of interlocking of the mechanical parts can be easily changed, so that it can be used, for example, as an alarm switch for notifying a trip operation, or as an auxiliary switch for checking the on/off state. Furthermore, the link can be easily linked to the mechanism by simply inserting the hook piece of the elastic link into the arcuate groove of the partition plate and hooking it onto the mechanism, and since it is separated from the mechanism by the partition, the link can be It can operate smoothly without getting caught in other parts, has a simple structure, ensures reliable interlocking, and can output reliable signals.

An embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 22. First, let me explain the structure of one pole.This is a 30 ampere frame type that detects line overcurrents and short circuit currents and trips, and also turns on, off, and resets the line using handle and remote control operation signals.

The electrical circuit between the main terminals 20 and 21 mainly includes a contact portion 43, a plunger type electromagnet device 44, and a bimetal 45 as shown in FIG. Arranged. The contact section 43 controls opening and closing of the electric circuit, and is composed of a movable contact 48 having a fixed contact 46 and a movable contact 47. In order to position this contact portion 43, a partition plate 50 having a height of about 1/3 of the height of the main body case 1 is erected at the center of the bottom plate 49 of the main body case 1 to open the lateral side of the main case 1. When viewed from above, the arc extinguishing chamber 51 is formed on the left side, the operating electromagnet storage chamber 52 is formed on the right side, and the fixed contact plate 53 is bent into an inverted U shape along the surface of the partition plate 50. It is pushed in while being guided by the partition plate 50 from the lateral opening side, and positioned by abutting the back end of the width plate 54 provided at the end on the storage chamber 52 side against the back surface of the main body case 1 when viewed from the lateral opening side. Ru. Then, the fixed contact 46 is fixed to the arc extinguishing chamber 51 side of the fixed contact plate 53. Further, the width plate 54 in the main body case 1
A slit 55 is formed in the lower part of the storage chamber 52 between the hanging piece 32 of the terminal plate 25, and the slit 55

A pressure applying spring 59 is installed in a compressed state. Due to this spring 59, the intermediate portion of the contact plate 57 comes into elastic contact with the lower end portion 61 of the contact frame 58, resulting in a stable state. The movable contact 47 is fixed to the lower end of the movable contact plate 57, and a pothole 62 for forced contact opening is formed above it. A pin 63 is passed through a support hole 61a above the pothole 62 at the lower end of the contact frame 58, and the movable contact 48 is pivotally supported by a latch link 64, which will be described later, as shown in FIG. The movable contact 47 is connected to the fixed contact 4.
Opposed to 6.

The plunger type electromagnet device 44 detects short circuit current, and mainly uses the yoke 65 as shown in FIG.
, the coil 66 , the coil tube 67 , and the fixed iron core 6
8, a return spring 69, a plunger 70, and a movable rod 71 as constituent parts. First, the yoke 65 consists of a U-shaped frame 72 and a stop plate 73, and the stop plate 73 has a protrusion 76 and a square hole 77 fitted between an upper piece 74 and a lower piece 75 on the opposite side of the vertical piece 72a of the U-shaped frame 72. The construction is fixed by crimping. This yoke 65 integrally forms a frame 79 of a mechanism section 78, which will be described later.
One side plate 80 of the frame 79 is raised above one side edge of the upper piece 74, and the upper piece 74 and the standing piece 72
A protrusion 81 is formed on the other side of a, and the square hole 83 of the opposite side plate 82 of the frame 79 is fitted, and the opposite side plate 82 is erected to face the one side plate 80 by caulking. Further, the arc traveling plate 84 is
It is bent and extended. The frame 79 is arranged such that the lower piece 75 of the yoke 65 is placed on the support base 1a provided on the main body case 1, and the arc travel plate 84 is positioned on the lower surface of the support base 1a to sandwich the support base 1a. 2 constituting the mechanism section 78, which will be described later.
The pins 87 and 88 are connected to main case 1 and middle case 2.
The pins 87 and 88 are inserted between the support holes 89 and 90 of the frame 9 to hold the frame 79, and the pins 87 and 88 are inserted into the holes 91 and 92 of the frame 9 to hold the frame 79. Contact (9th
), these allow the yoke 65 and the frame 7
9 postures are positioned. The fixed core 68 has a through hole 68a, and is fitted from the inside into a hole 93 formed in the vertical piece 72a of the U-shaped frame 72 and fixed by caulking.The movable rod 71 is longer than the fixed core 68 and is inserted into the through hole 68a. It is slidably inserted. The coil tube 67 has a small diameter portion 94 at one end, and this small diameter portion 9
4 is fitted into a mounting hole 95 formed in the backing plate 73, and the other end is fitted onto a fixed iron core 68 for erection. The plunger 70 is slidably fitted into the coil tube 67, and a forced opening rod 9 protrudes from one end thereof.
6 protrudes from the small diameter portion 94 of the coil tube 67, and a collar 97 is formed at the tip of the coil tube 67, and the fixed contact 4
The movable contact plate 57 facing the movable contact plate 57 passes through the large diameter side of the pothole 62 and is located on the small diameter side thereof (the seventh
figure). The return spring 69 is compressed and installed between the fixed iron core 68 and the plunger 70. The coil 66 has a large wire cross-sectional area and therefore has rigidity, and the hole of the coil 66 is fitted into the coil tube 67, and one end thereof is folded back in the axial direction to connect to the terminal plate 2 of the load-side terminal device 20.
It is welded to the hanging piece 31 of No. 4. With this configuration, in this electromagnet device 44, the operation of the plunger 70 is limited by the spring force of the return spring 69 when only the rated current or overcurrent flows through the coil 66, but when a short circuit current flows, the operation of the plunger 70 is restricted by the fixed iron core 68. The magnetic flux between the plungers 70 increases, and the plunger 70 is attracted to the fixed iron core 68 by overcoming the force of the return spring 69.
Plunger 70 operates. As a result, the movable rod 71 is pushed by the plunger 70 and protrudes outward from the vertical piece 72a of the U-shaped frame 72, and the forced opening rod 9
The collar 97 of 6 engages with the small diameter side of the pothole 62 and operates to draw the movable contact plate 57 together.

The bimetal 45 detects overcurrent, and its main body is made up of two thin plates with different coefficients of thermal expansion that are superimposed together.As shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, it consists of a horizontal piece 98 and a diagonal piece 99. A gap adjustment screw 100 is screwed into the upper end of the diagonal piece 99, a caulking hole (not shown) is formed in the horizontal piece 98, and the horizontal piece 98 is caulked to the lower end of the side plate 82 of the frame 79. (welding is also acceptable). This bimetal 45
The other end of the coil 66 and the upper end of the bimetal 45 are welded and connected by a flexible copper stranded wire 101. Then, the side plate 82 of the frame 79 and the upper end of the movable contact plate 57 are welded together by the flexible copper stranded wire 102, and when a current flows between the copper stranded wire 101 and the coil 66, it is heated by its own Joule heat, resulting in high expansion. Since the side is located on the terminal device 20 side, the diagonal piece 99 is bent in the direction away from the terminal device 20. The curved operation is set to operate with an overcurrent several times the rated current.

From the above configuration, the electric circuit is sequentially formed from the power supply side terminal device 21 to the connecting copper stranded wire 56, the fixed contact plate 53,
Fixed contact 46, movable contact 47, movable contact plate 57,
It is connected to the load side terminal device 20 via the copper stranded wire 102, the side plate 82 of the frame 79, the bimetal 45, the copper stranded wire 101, and the coil 66. Opening and closing are controlled by the contact portion 43. Further, the arc extinguishing chamber 51 is designed to extinguish the arc generated in the contact portion 43 in the event of a short circuit or disconnection by quickly separating it from between the contacts 46 and 47. Exhaust port 103 at the bottom of the terminal device 20
The arc travel plate 104 is continuously extended from below the fixed contact 46 of the fixed contact plate 53 to form an arc extinguishing chamber 5.
1 along the partition plate 50 and bottom plate 49,
This is placed opposite the upper arc traveling plate 84, and the exhaust port 1
A de-ion grid 105 is placed between the arc traveling plates 84 and 104 inside the de-ion grid 105, and an exhaust plate 106 with many holes is erected on the back side of the de-ion grid 105, and is also fixed to the de-ion grid 105. Arc-extinguishing side plates 107 are provided on both sides between the contact plates 53 to protect the main case 1 and the inner case 2 from arcs and to form a return path for arc gas. Further, a protruding rib 108 is provided on the center line of the arc traveling plate 104 from the fixed contact 46 to the deion grid 105 to facilitate the traveling of the arc and avoid sticking. The operation of the arc extinguishing device as described above is as follows:
When an arc occurs between the contacts 46 and 47 due to the opening of the contact plate 53, the current path containing the arc is
Since the fixed contact 46, the arc, the movable contact 47, and the movable contact plate 57 form a U-shape, an electromagnetic driving force that drives the arc toward the grid 105 is generated.
As a result, the arc leaves the contacts 46 and 47 and travels on the arc running plates 84 and 104, and when it approaches the de-ion grid 105, it is attracted and enters the de-ion grid 105. The gas is divided and cooled to extinguish the arc, and the gas is exhausted from the exhaust port 103 through the exhaust plate 106. In this way, short-circuiting and disconnection can be made faster.

The mechanism section 78 for turning on, off, tripping and resetting the movable contactor 43 includes a trip link 109, a latch link 64, an operating link 110, and a handle 111, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.
and an operating electromagnet device 112. The trip link 109 consists of a vertical piece 113 and a side piece 114 integrally connected at the intermediate part of the vertical piece 113, as shown in FIG. A shaft hole 116 is formed in the ear piece 114 and the ear piece 115, and the bimetal 45 of the side pieces 80 and 82 of the frame 79 is connected by a pin 87.
It passes through a hole 91 at the side end, and both ends are pivotally supported in support holes 89 formed in the main case 1 and the middle case 2. As shown in FIG.
The upper end portion is located in front of the gap adjustment screw 100 of the bimetal 45. Further, the side piece 114 stands obliquely upward, and has a downwardly directed hook portion 119 formed on the obliquely upper edge side of its upper end, and the upper end edge is formed into an arcuate surface 120 . This trip link 10
A torsion coil spring 121 for return is attached to the pin 87 of 9.
is fitted and supported, and its one end 121a is connected to the side piece 11.
4, and the other end 121b is fixed to the lower edge of the yoke 6.
The trip link 10 abuts and locks on the upper piece 74 of 5.
9 in the counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG.
The lower end of 13 contacts the movable rod 71 and the fixed iron core 6
It is designed so that it can be locked on the protruding surface of 8. The latch link 64 consists of a pair of elongated side pieces 122, 123 facing each other, and connecting the right edge of the upper end (FIG. 12) with a latch bridging piece 124.
Pass the pin 88 through the hole 125 in the middle part of the frame 79, pass the pin 88 through the hole 92 on the movable contact 48 side of the side pieces 80, 82 of the frame 79, and then insert both ends into the support holes of the main case 1 and the middle case 2. It is centered at 90. A return torsion coil spring 12 is attached to the pin 88.
7 is supported, and one end 127a of the yoke 65 is supported.
The other end 127b is fixed to the upper piece 74 of the side piece 12.
2, 123, and its spring action urges the latch link 64 to rotate clockwise in FIG. I have to. The upper end of this latch link 64 and the upper end of the trip link 109 intersect, and the latch portion 12 at the lower end of the bridging piece 124
8 is located above the hook portion 119 of the trip link 109 in the rotating direction. Therefore, when the latch link 64 is twisted and rotated to the left against the spring force of the torsion coil spring 127, the latch portion 128 slides on the arcuate surface 120 of the trip link 109, causing the trip link 109 to move to the right against the spring action. The latch portion 128 locks onto the hook portion 119. As a result, the trip link 109 and the latch link 64 are brought into a reset state, and the posture of the trip link 109 becomes the position where the bimetal adjusting screw 100 and the movable rod 71 are detected by the vertical piece 113. When the trip link 109 operates, the latch link 64 is disengaged and released, resulting in a trip state. The pin 63 supporting the movable contact 43 is connected to the hole 12 at the lower end of the latch link 64.

An opposing plate 126 is formed integrally with the main body case 1 above the contact plate 53, facing the caulking protrusion 76b of 5, and a contact plate 57 hangs down between the two, and the contact plate 57 can rotate through the interval. maximum spacing,
This prevents the arc from moving upward.

The handle 111 is made of an insulating material and has an eleventh
As shown in the figure, it is inserted into the handle groove 130a formed slightly to the right of the center of the top plate 11a of the inner case 2 and the handle hole 130b of the upper cover 4, and is inserted into the main case 1 and the inner case by a shaft 131 at the bottom of the handle hole 130b. It is rotatably supported between the holes 131a of the case 2. This handle 111 has operation unevenness 111a formed on both sides of the portion protruding from the upper cover 4 in the rotational direction, and an arc plate-shaped ON display plate 111b (with "ON" written on the surface) on both sides of the lower side of the upper cover 4. display) and an off display plate 111c (displaying "OFF" on the surface), and a connecting hole 133 is provided at the lower end of the handle 111 with the shaft 131 in between.

The posture of the handle 111 in FIG. 14 (tilt to the right) is in the on state, and by tilting to the right in this way, the operation link 110 is pushed, the movable contact 48 is pushed, and the latch link 64 is latched to the trip link 109. Therefore, the movable contact 48 rotates around the pin 63, and the movable contact 4
7 contacts the fixed contact 46. Furthermore, handle 1
11 to the home position, since the movable contact 47 is in contact with the fixed contact 46, the movable contact plate 57
rotates about the pin 60, which compresses the contact pressure applying spring 59, thereby applying contact pressure. In this way, the contact portion 43 is closed, resulting in an on state, and this state is maintained by the operating electromagnet device 112, which will be described later. FIG. 15 shows the handle 111 in the off state (tilted to the left). In this case, too, the movable contact 48 rotates about the pivot pin 63 of the latch link 64, and when the handle 111 is tilted to the left, the operating link 111 is rotated. is pulled and the operation link 110
Since the upper end of the movable contact 48 is pulled, the movable contact 47 separates from the fixed contact 46 and opens. This off operation also resets the latch link 64 after the trip operation. That is,
In the trip-free state, the latch link 64 is released from the trip link 109 and rotates around the pin 126 by the spring 127, so the latch link 64 is in the state shown in FIGS. When the operation link 110 is pulled, the movable contact 48 is pulled up as a whole toward the handle 111, so that the latch link 64 pulls the spring 12 around the pin 126.

This electromagnet device 112 is
When the handle 111 is manually turned on or off in a non-energized state, the force moves the plunger 140 up and down, and as described above, the upper and lower positions of the plunger 140 are moved by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 149. As a result, the on and off states of the handle 111 are maintained, respectively, so that the movable contact 48 is maintained in contact with the fixed contact 46 with contact pressure as shown in FIG. It is maintained in the open state shown in FIG. On the other hand, a pair of rectifier diodes 156, 157 and a switching contact part 158 are interposed and connected between the end of the coil 147 and the operation terminal 22, as shown in FIG. 21, so that the electromagnet device 112 can be driven with alternating current. That's what I do. That is, these parts are provided with a recess 159 formed on the side of the middle case 2 between the middle case 2 and the side case 3. First, the U-shaped fixed contact plate 160 is fitted onto the fixed protrusion 161, and the pair of switching contact plates 162 and 163 are fitted onto the fixed protrusion 161.
The slit 165a of the support protrusion 164 facing the
The fixed contact plate 16 is supported in a sandwiched manner by 165b.
It is in contact with the top and bottom surfaces of 0. Further, an arcuate hole 16 is provided between the fixed protrusion 161 and the support protrusion 164.
6 is formed, and a switching contact drive bar 167 integrally formed on the side surface of the arm 134 of the handle 111 passes through the circular arc hole 166 and is located between the switching contact plates 162 and 163, so that the handle 111 is in the ON position (FIG. 8). ,
The lower switching contact plate 163 is opened from the fixed contact plate 160 by FIG. 14), and the upper switching contact plate 162 is opened by the off position of the handle 111 (FIG. 15). Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the end of the coil 147 is connected to the fixed contact plate 160 and one operating terminal 22, and
Diodes 156 and 156 are connected to 2 and 163 so that the polarities are opposite to each other, and each diode 15
6,157 are connected to the remaining operation terminals 22. In FIG. 21, 167 is an AC power supply;
8 is an external changeover switch. In this way,
For example, when the external changeover switch 168 is turned on, a unidirectional current flows through the diode 156 to the coil 147, and the plunger 140 moves from the upper position in FIG. 15 to the lower position in FIG. 14 and is held there. At this time, the drive lever 167 rotates downward and the movable contact plate 162 contacts the fixed contact plate 160,
The movable contact plate 163 is separated from the fixed contact plate 160, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 21b. Therefore, when turning off the external changeover switch 168, the coil 147 is energized in the opposite direction to drive the plunger 140 upward, and the handle 11 is turned off.
1 to the off position, and the lever 167 switches the movable contact plates 162 and 163. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned trip state, the latch link 64 is released from the trip link 109 and rotates by its spring 127 as shown in FIGS. The movable contact 48 rotates via the contact 110, and trip-free operation is performed in which the movable contact 47 is opened from the fixed contact 46 without operating the handle 111 and the plunger 153 of the electromagnetic device 112.

The above is a case of a three-wire system, but in the case of a two-wire system, as shown in FIG.
0 may be provided, and the operating principle is the same as that of the 3-wire system. Of course, the electromagnet device 112 can be driven by further applying a DC voltage.

The trip test button 171 is used to arbitrarily test the trip operation of the mechanism section 78. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, a button hole 172 and a mounting groove 173 are formed on the left side of the handle 111 of the inner case 2 and the upper cover 4,
A test button 171 is inserted into this through the side opening of the inner case 2, and is rotatably supported by a shaft portion 174. This test button 171 has a fixed arm 173a extending in the rotation direction within the mounting groove 173, and the fixed arm 173a is positioned in the horizontal groove 175 of the mounting groove 173, and the fixed arm 173a By elastically locking the protrusion 177 at the tip of the test button 177, the test button 177 is fixed, and when the test button 171 is rotated to the left in FIG. The lower end 171a of the test button 171 faces the front side of the upper edge of the trip link 109. Therefore, when the test button 171 is rotated, the lower end of the test button 171 pushes the side piece 114 of the trip link 109, causing the trip link 109 to rotate to the right, thereby releasing the engagement with the latch link 64.
A tripping operation is performed.

The option switch 178 is used for external alarms, etc., and is attached to a recess 179 formed on the side of the middle case 2 between the middle case 2 and the side case 3, which is a separate chamber from the mechanism section 78, by screws 190. Installed as shown. This recess 179 and the recess 159 in which the diodes 156 and 157 are located are formed by the difference between the width space occupied by the electromagnet device 112 and the width space occupied by the mechanism section 78 and the handle 11. Therefore, the side case 3 may be a flat plate without increasing the width of the entire disconnector. This option switch 178 is connected to the auxiliary terminal 23 and
3 to a predetermined remote location (for example, the management department) via a signal line. On the other hand, latch link support pin 8
The winding part 17 of the link 178a is formed with at least one winding part in the center of the wire rod at the penetrating end of the inner case of the link 178a.
8b, the other end 178d is engaged with the switch lever 191 of the option switch 178, and a hook piece 178c is formed at one end of the link 178a by bending it in the axial direction of the winding part 178b. The pin 88 is inserted into an arcuate groove 192 formed in the inner case 3 centering on the support hole 90 of the inner case 2 through which the pin 88 is passed, and is engaged with the latch link 64 through the arc groove 192, so that the switch lever 191 is moved when the latch link 64 is in the latched state. It is kept pressed. The imaginary line in FIG. 8 shows that the latch link 64 has been released from the trip link 109 and rotated, that is, it is in a trip operation state, and the switch lever 191
The switch lever 191 is restored to its original state by the action of the spring, and the switch contact of the switch 178 is changed. This signal is transmitted to the control room through the signal line.

As a modification, the other end of the link 178a may be
It is possible to engage the movable contact 48 instead of the latch link 64 as shown in FIG. In this case, a predetermined window shall be provided in the corresponding position of the inner case 2. Further, the switch 178 at this time serves as an auxiliary switch that notifies the on/off state of the circuit or disconnector.
As shown in FIG. 14A, the alarm use and the auxiliary use can be realized simply by changing the shapes of the links 178a and 178'a, particularly the opening angles, and the other configurations are common.

The remote control type circuit breaker with the above configuration houses each component in the outer shell A as described above, and the mechanism section 78 includes an electromagnetic device 44 that performs an instantaneous tripping operation, a bimetal 45, a movable contact 48, The arc traveling plate 84, handle 111, remote control electromagnet device 112, and trip display device 139 are housed in one block in the main body case 1. In addition, this bow disconnector is used with the bottom plate 49 of the main body case 1 attached to the vertical mounting surface.
At this time, the plunger 1 of the operating electromagnet device 112
40 assumes a horizontal posture with respect to the ground and moves in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, this remote control type circuit breaker shows the structure for one pole; in the case of multiple poles, the same structure is installed side by side on the side and the caulking pins are passed through the connecting holes 5 to 7. This allows them to be connected together. In the case of three poles, the first
As shown in Fig. 9, instead of the upper cover 4, a three-pole upper cover 180 is placed over the three pole disconnectors, and three single-pole pole disconnectors are simply arranged in a distribution board or the like. In order to distinguish it from the other poles, only one handle hole 181 and one trip test button hole 182 are opened, the protrusion that becomes the knob of the handle of the other pole is removed, and the test button 171 is removed. In addition, in the case of multi-pole, one on/off interlocking rod for handle interlocking and trip interlocking.
83 and trip interlock rod 184 are applied.
The trip linking rod 184 shown in FIG. 20 penetrates each pole through a through hole 185 formed in the frame 79 inside the intersection of the trip link 109 and the latch link 64 as shown in FIG. A latch link sensing protrusion 186 and a trip link tripping protrusion 187 that face each other extend out, and both ends thereof are rotatably supported by the side plates of the outer shell A. For example, if an abnormal current flows in a single-pole circuit and a trip occurs,
As the upper end of the latch link 64 is rotated upward by the spring 127, the latch link sensing protrusion 186 is pushed and rotated to the left in FIG. Push in the direction. As a result, the other poles also trip at the same time. On the other hand, on/off interlocking rod 1
83 is a hole 183 at the display plate position of each handle 111.
A is formed and communicated with these so that when the handle of one pole is turned on or off by hand or by the electromagnetic device 112, the handle of the other pole is also turned on or off at the same time. Furthermore, by connecting the coils 147 of each pole of the operating electromagnet device 112 in series, using the operating terminal 22 for only one pole, and sending an operating signal to the operating terminal 22,
Electromagnetic devices 112 can move simultaneously to perform the same operation.

Next, we will summarize the operation of this remote control type circuit breaker. That is, the on state is shown in FIG. 18a and FIG. 14.
In this case, latch link 64 is trip link 1
09, the handle 111 is tilted to the right, and the movable contact 48 comes into contact with the fixed contact 46.
Also, the plunger 140 of the operating electromagnet device 112
moves downward and is held by the permanent magnet 149. As mentioned above, for this holding, the handle 1
11 and the movable contact 48 are held in the on position. Note that this ON operation may be performed by directly operating the handle 111 or by sending a signal to the operating terminal 22 to drive the plunger 140 downward.

The off state is shown in FIGS. 18b and 15. As before, the latch link 64 is latched and the handle 111 is tilted to the left, so that the movable contact 4
8 is an open state. Also, the operating electromagnet device 11
The second plunger 140 is moved to the upper position and held there. Its working relationship and operation mode are the same as in the on state.

Among the trip states, overcurrent trip is shown in FIG. 18c and FIG. 16. That is, the first
When an overcurrent flows through the electric circuit in the ON state shown in FIG. 4, the trip link 109 is gradually pushed due to self-heating of the bimetal 45, and the latch link 64 is released, causing the latch link 64 to rotate. As a result, the movable contact pivot pin 63 moves downward, and since the handle 111 remains held by the plunger 140, the movable contact 47 separates from the fixed contact 46, and the electric path is finally severed. As described above, the reset after tripping occurs when the handle 111 is turned to the OFF position from the state shown in FIG. rotate to
Latch portion 128 is latched to hook portion 119 of trip link 109. Of course, the operation terminal 15,
A signal may be applied to 16 to actuate electromagnetic device 112 to actuate handle 111 to the off position.

The short circuit trip is shown in FIGS. 18d and 17. That is, in the on state, when a short circuit current flows through the electric circuit, the plunger 9 of the electromagnetic device 44
6 is attracted to the fixed iron core 68. As a result, the movable rod 71 is pushed out and pushes the lower end of the trip link 109, and since the trip link 109 rotates, the latch link 64 is released, and the movable contact 48 is opened as described above. However, before the movable contactor 48 is opened by such link interlocking, that is, at the exact same time as the plunger 70 operates, the collar 97 of the forced opening rod 96 engages with the contact plate 57 and pulls it. The movable contact 47 is connected to the fixed contact 4
Separate from 6. That is, the latch link 64
Just before the contact plate 57 is tripped, the contact plate 57 rotates about the pin 60 in a direction that compresses the contact pressure applying spring 59 and performs an opening operation. The reset operation is the same as described above.

In these tripping operations, when the latch link 64 rotates, the display link 139a rotates,
A trip display board 139c is positioned above the ON display board 111b to perform a trip display.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the remote control type circuit breaker of this invention, since the winding part of the link is supported by the pivot pin of the mechanism part, there is no need to increase the number of parts, and the structure can be simplified. It is easy to do, and since an elastic link is used, the positional accuracy of the option switch can be relaxed. Furthermore, by replacing the links, the object of interlocking of the mechanical parts can be easily changed, so that it can be used, for example, as an alarm switch for notifying a trip operation, or as an auxiliary switch for checking the on/off state. Furthermore, it is possible to easily link the elastic link with the mechanism by simply inserting the hook piece into the arcuate groove of the partition plate and hooking it onto the mechanism, and since it is separated from the mechanism by the partition, the link can be easily connected to the mechanism. It has the advantages of being able to operate smoothly without getting caught in other parts, having a simple structure, ensuring reliable interlocking, and being able to output reliable signals.
