Description
The present invention relates to a circuit breaker, and more particularly, to a thermally adjustable trip device of a circuit breaker for adjusting a trip time.
In general, Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) is an auto shut-off function that automatically cuts off the current in case of an accident such as grounding or short-circuit in case of transmission, substation or electric circuit by using electromagnet or bimetal. And, it has a manual cutoff function that can switch the electric line to the open or closed state by the user's operation.
Such a circuit breaker protects the load device and the line by cutting off the circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs in the line.

The circuit breaker configured as described above has one-sheet and forward-sheet characteristics when viewed mainly from circuit breakage.
One sheet characteristic refers to an overcurrent trip characteristic having an operation time inversely proportional to the overcurrent value. Such one-sheet characteristics include a thermal electron type using a thermal element such as bimetal and a fully electronic type using a braking action of ODP (Oil Dash Pot).
On the other hand, the forward seating characteristic means that the breaker is quickly tripped by a relatively large overcurrent such as a short circuit current.
Here, when looking at the one-sheet characteristic, the one-sheet characteristic trips the breaker before the temperature reaches a dangerous state due to joule heat when the overcurrent flows over the rated current.
In terms of protection, the breaker should work quickly, but in the converter there is a transient overcurrent, such as the starting current of the motor, in addition to the normal load current. Therefore, it is better to operate with time delay within the range that the temperature of the converter does not exceed the allowable temperature so that the circuit breaker is not operated by such overcurrent. This is called the demonstration operation characteristic.
Determining the time delay in the demonstration operation characteristics corresponds to the time from when the overcurrent flows and the
This delay time is the initial setting interval (gap) of the

However, the trip device as described above is configured so that the
In addition, the trip device as described above, since the gap jig is assembled along the inclined surface during the gap jig adjustment during the 200% thermal test, there is also a problem that the characteristic value is not constant.
The contents of the background art described above are technical information possessed by the inventor of the present application for the derivation of the present invention or acquired in the derivation process of the present invention, and are known technologies disclosed to the general public before the application of the present invention. You can't.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by configuring the distance between the bimetal and the adjustable trip shaft using a step distance difference, it is possible to increase the thermal rated current value range more easily, and error An object of the present invention is to provide a thermally adjustable trip device for a circuit breaker that can minimize the range and improve the reliability of the circuit breaker.
In the thermally adjustable trip device of the circuit breaker according to the present invention for realizing the above object, the bimetal is deformed in a state spaced apart from the contact member and a contact member provided on one side of the bimetal And an adjustable trip shaft operated when the contact member is pushed, wherein the adjustable trip shaft includes a contact surface having a plurality of planes having different heights in the direction of the contact member at positions where the contact member is contacted and spaced apart from each other. Characterized in that configured to adjust the gap with the contact member.
Here, the contact surface of the adjustable trip shaft may be configured to have a continuous stepped structure.
The adjustable trip shaft may include a shaft main body disposed to the left and right, and the contact surface may be configured by combining a contact surface protruding from the shaft body toward the contact member and a contact surface of a groove structure recessed inwardly of the shaft body. have.
In addition, the adjustable trip shaft may be configured to be movable in the longitudinal direction for adjusting the distance to the contact member, the contact surface may be formed to gradually increase or decrease in the longitudinal direction of the adjustable trip shaft.
The contact member is preferably composed of a trip adjustment bolt which is assembled with a nut on the upper end of the bimetal projecting in the direction of the contact surface of the adjustable trip shaft.
On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the contact surface of the adjustable trip shaft may have a configuration in which a plurality of planes of different heights are connected to the guide inclined surface.
The main problem solving means of the present invention as described above, will be described in more detail and clearly through examples such as 'details for the implementation of the invention', or the accompanying 'drawings' to be described below, wherein In addition to the main problem solving means as described above, various problem solving means according to the present invention will be further presented and described.
In the thermal adjustable trip device of the circuit breaker according to the present invention, since the contact surface having a plurality of planes having different heights is formed on the adjustable trip shaft, the distance between the bimetal and the adjustable trip shaft can be set using a flat or stepped distance difference. Accordingly, the thermal rated current value range can be more easily set, and the error range according to the set value range can be minimized, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit breaker as a whole.
That is, in the present invention, when the rated current according to the load fluctuation is adjusted to an arbitrary value, the contact surface of the adjustable trip shaft is set using a plane distance difference or a step distance difference having different heights, so that the bolt is bent while the bimetal is bent in the event of an accident. When pushing the adjustable trip shaft, the adjustable trip shaft can be operated without slipping, thereby minimizing the error range of the trip operation.
In addition, the present invention can be designed so that the initial bolt position is only 0.63 times by increasing the amount of heat to prevent the jam caused by the distance difference when adjusting the range of thermal rated current value by using a planar distance difference or step distance difference of different heights. As a result, the thermal rated current range can be increased from 0.8-0.9-1.0 to 0.63-0.8-1.0.
In addition, since the gap jig can be assembled along the plane during the gap jig adjustment during the 200% thermal test, the present invention also has the effect of constantly setting the characteristic value for the trip operation.
