Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an opening / closing mechanism constituting a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) for protecting circuits and load devices by shutting off a circuit when a fault current is generated, and a method of assembling the same.
Generally, a circuit breaker for wiring includes a main circuit unit having a stationary contactor and a movable contactor, a switching mechanism for opening and closing the main circuit unit, And a trip mechanism for shutting off the main circuit unit by operating the open / close mechanism at the trip position when the trouble occurs. The movable contactor is rotated by the opening / closing mechanism so as to be brought into contact with or separated from the stationary contactor. When the opening / closing mechanism is operated by the trip mechanism to the trip position, the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact, and thus the main circuit unit is cut off.
The opening and closing mechanism includes a handle for manually opening and closing the main circuit unit and includes an on position for opening the main circuit unit by the handle, an off position for blocking the main circuit unit, Off position to a trip position between the off-position and the off-position.
After the failure of the main circuit unit due to the fault current is solved, the process of operating the handle to the reset position, that is, the off position, must be preceded in order to operate the handle to the on position in order to normally energize the current. The reset position means a state in which the opening / closing mechanism operated at the trip position by the trip mechanism is ready to operate again at the trip position, and a trip latch for tripping the opening / closing mechanism is constrained mechanically Which means that the trip spring is kept in a state of accumulating the elastic force so as to provide the trip power.
The opening and closing mechanism of the circuit breaker according to the prior art is shown in Figs. In Figs. 1 and 2,
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the opening / closing mechanism of the circuit breaker according to the prior art includes a pair of

It is an object of the present invention to provide an opening and closing mechanism for a circuit breaker for a wiring breaker which is more advantageous in terms of improvement in assemblability and an assembling method thereof.
The problems to be solved are not limited thereto, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a frame assembly comprising: a frame assembly having a pair of side frames opposed to each other at left and right intervals, and lever pins provided to the pair of side frames in left and right directions; A handle assembly having a pair of levers for coupling the handle to an upper portion and an assembly groove portion for inserting the lever pins into the lower end of the lever and rotating the handle about the lever pin to an on position in a forward direction and an off position in a rear direction, Wherein each of the mounting recesses has a pin groove having a curvature corresponding to an outer periphery of the lever pin and in which the lever pin is located; A protrusion protruding downward from a rear side of both of the openings of the pin groove to prevent separation of the pin pin and the lever pin located in the pin groove; And a guide which forms a guide surface extending forwardly from the opening of the pin groove on the front side of both openings of the pin groove, whereby when the frame assembly and the handle assembly are assembled, the lever pin enters the pin groove along the guide surface As far as possible, an opening / closing mechanism for a wiring breaker can be provided.
Here, the guide surface may be formed in an ascending slope shape from the front side to the rear side.
The opening of the pin groove and the guide surface may be curved or inclined. In this case, the entry of the lever pin into the pin groove can be made smooth and natural.
Wherein the frame assembly further includes a trip latch movably movable between a reset position and a trip position in an area between the side frames and a latch holder movable to a restraining position and a restraining releasing position with respect to the trip latch, And a trip spring for providing a tripping force for operating the handle to the trip position upon releasing the trip latch.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: preparing a frame assembly and a handle assembly as described above; Assembling the frame assembly and the handle assembly such that a lever pin of the prepared frame assembly and a guide surface of an assembly groove of the prepared handle assembly are in contact with each other; And moving the frame assembly and the handle assembly relative to each other such that the lever pin in contact with the guide surface enters the pin groove of the mounting groove along the guide surface.
Here, the handle assembly may be in an on-position in which the frame assembly and the handle assembly are engaged with each other, and the lever pin may be inserted into the pin groove by operating the handle to an off position.
Means for solving the problems will be more specifically and clarified through the embodiments, drawings, and the like described below. In addition, various solution means other than the above-mentioned solution means may be further proposed.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the pull distance of the trip spring required when assembling the frame assembly and the handle assembly is relatively short and relatively small force is required to pull the trip spring, It can be assembled easily, quickly, and well without using it.
