Gas circuit breaker
To provide a gas circuit breaker having a space-saving reliable double motion mechanism having a high degree of freedom in design. A double motion mechanism section of the gas circuit breaker is formed of a drive-side connecting rod, a driven-side connecting rod, levers connecting them and a guide regulating operations of the drive-side connecting rod and the driven-side connecting rod. A movable pin is connected to a first grooved cam formed in the drive-side connecting rod, a second grooved cam formed in the guide and third grooved cams formed in the levers respectively, and posture holding members are provided in the movable pin. The movable pin moves in the respective grooved cams by an operation of the drive-side connecting rod, thereby rotating the levers, driving the driven-side connecting rod in an opposite direction of the drive-side connecting rod, and driving the driven-side arcing contact in an opposite direction of the driven-side arcing contact.

the double motion mechanism section includes a drive-side connecting rod receiving a driving force from the drive-side electrode, a driven-side connecting rod connecting to the driven-side arcing contact, two levers operating the driven-side connecting rod in an opposite direction with respect to an operation of the drive-side connecting rod, and a guide in which the drive-side connecting rod and the driven-side connecting rod move thereinside,
the two levers are arranged on both sides of the outside of the guide, which are fixed to each other so as to rotate freely by a lever fixing pin,
a movable pin is connected to a first grooved cam formed in the drive-side connecting rod, a second grooved cam formed in the guide, and third grooved cams formed in the two levers respectively,
a driven-side moving pin penetrates through lever driven-side holes of the two levers, which are arranged on both sides of the driven-side connecting rod, and a guide groove of the driven-side connecting rod, and
posture holding members, which hold the movable pin so that an axis of the movable pin is approximately orthogonal to an opening/closing operation shaft of a circuit breaker part, and inner surfaces of the posture holding members, which touch outer surfaces of the two levers, are provided.
