1 This invention relates to circuit interrupter-s,
in general, and more particularly, to arc-extin- 'guishing structures therefor.
My invention constitues an improvement over the operating arrangements disclosed in United States application Serial No. 553,997, filed September 14, 1944, by Winthrop M. Leeds, and assigned to the assignee of the instant application.
A-general object of my invention is to provide a circuit interrupter of improved construction in which a plurality of arcs are drawn and extinguished in a more effective manner than has heretofore been achieved.
Another object is to provide an improved circuit interrupter comprising two serially related arc- Fig. 1, the parts being shown in the fully open circuit position;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but taken sub stantially on the line III-Ill of Fig. 4, the parts being shown in the closed circuit position;
Fig. at is a side elevational view partly in section taken substantially on the line IV--IV of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a view in section taken on the line V-V of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the rotatable contact structures.
Referring to the drawings and more particularly the reference numeral i desig nates a tank in which a suitable arc-extinguishing fluid 2, such as circuit breaker oil, is filled to the level 3. Depending from the cover 4 of the tank I are two insulating bushings 5, 6, through which extend terminal studs 1, I.
Threadedly secured to the lower ends of the terminal studs 1, 8 are two identical arc-extinguishing assemblages generally designated byv the reference numeral 9. Electrically interconnecting the two arc-extinguishing assemblages in the closed circuit position of the interrupter, as shown in Fig. 1, is a movable conducting bridglng member ID reciprocally operated in a vertical 12 Claims. (Cl. 200150) 2 direction by an insulating operating rod H actuated by a suitable mechanism, not shown.
During the closing operation, the bridging member It moves upwardly, sliding'between disconnect fingers I2 and striking a conducting cross member I! which supports at its outer ends two insulating operating rods l4 extending exteriorly on opposite sides of each arc-extinguishing assemblage 9. The rods I4 are pivotally connected at I5 to a plurality of crank arms l6 which serve to rotate during the opening and closing operations shafts i7.
The arc-extinguishing assemblage 9 comprises a casing generally designated by the reference numeral M which is formed by two side plates it formed of insulating material and a suitably shaped center member 20 also formed of insulatins material. The center member 20 has formed therein a plurality of annular cavities or recesses, generally designated by the reference numeral 2i. Rotatably positioned on the shafts ll within the annular cavities 2i are a plurality of disks or liquid moving members, generally designated by the reference numeral 22,
.Each disk 22 carries a pair of contacts 23, as more clearly shown in Fig. 6. The assembling of the disk 22 is facilitated by constructing the disk 22 out of three suitably shaped parts of insulating material which separately may be designated by the reference numerals 24, 25, and 26. The contacts 23 may then be inserted within suitably shaped recesses provided in the center part 25 of the disk 22.
It will be observed, referring to Fig. 3, that in the closed circuit position the pair of contacts 23 associated with a disk 22 siidably engages with the pair of contacts 23 associated with the adjacently disposed disk '22.
It will be observed that each of the parts 24, 25 and 26 have associated therewith a portion 2'! which extends between the contacts 23 in the fully open circuit position of the interrupter as shown in Fig. 2.
During the opening operation, the bridging member Ill moves downwardly to permit the accelerating compression springs 28 (Fig. 4) to move the cross member i3 downwardly, thereby lowering the operating rods I 4. The lowering of the rods I4 efiects, as viewed in Figs. 2 and 3, a clockwise rotation of the disks 22 and a consequent separation of adjacently disposed pairs of contacts 23 to establish a plurality of seriall related arcs. The rotation of the disk 22 causes the movement of fluid within the cavity 2! by the piston action caused by the rotative movement of accuses the portion 20 oi. the disk 22 to force oil through the arc and out a plurality oi vents 30 formed in the center member 20. The turbulence thereby created at the arcs rapidly effects the extinction thereof and the conducting bridging member ill separates from the disconnect fingers i2 to introduce two isolating gaps into the circuit.
It will be observed that associated with the conducting clamp 3| is a stationary contact 32 with which the upper pair of contacts 23 makes sliding engagement in the closed circuit position of the interrupter, as shown in Fig. 3.
Also disposed at the lower end of the casing I! are a pair of contacts 3! with which the lower pair of contacts 23 makes sliding engagement in the closed circuit position of the interrupter. A
simultaneously eiiecting opening rotative move-' means for pivotally mounting the members, and
portion 34 of the cross member it makes sliding engagement with the pair of contacts 33 at all times.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that I have provided an improved circuit interrupter in which circuit interruption is effected by a rotative movement of a plurality of disks carrying movable contacts 23. The rotative movement of the disk 22 forces by piston action oil to flow against the arcs formed, and a portion 2'5 of each disk 22 coacts with a similar. portion 21 of the adjacently disposed disk 22 to introduce insulating means between the several contacts in the fully open circuit position of the interrupter, as shown in Fig. 2.
It will be noted that the arrangement is exceedingly simple and has no shunts. It will also be noted that the arrangement is easily inspected as the removal of one of the outside plates is exposes all the contacts at once. This inspection feature is quite essential and most complicated on the majority of multi-contact interrupters. I! desired, the side plates l9 could have associated therewith impedance means to serve as voltage distribution shields, thus dividing the voltage equally along the arc-extinguishing assemblage between the several contacts 23.
Although I have shown and described a specific structure, it is tobe clearly understood that the same was merely for purposes of illustration, and that changes and modifications may readily be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
