Abstract

Realized is a shape of a grooved cam that maximizes break performance by appropriately setting an electrode operation, with a minimum weight increase. A gas circuit breaker includes a drive side electrode and a driven side electrode which are disposed to face each other in a sealed tank, the drive side electrode having a drive side main electrode and a drive side arcing contact, the driven side electrode having a driven side main electrode and a driven side arcing contact, the drive side arcing contact being connected to an operating device, and the driven side arcing contact being connected to a double motion mechanism portion, in which the double motion mechanism portion includes a drive side connection rod that receives driving force from the drive side electrode, a driven side connection rod that is connected to the driven side arcing contact, a lever that is bent to the operating device side around a rotation axis by causing the driven side connection rod to operate in an opposite direction with respect to an operation of the drive side connection rod, and a guide that defines operations of the drive side connection rod and the driven side connection rod.

Claims (42)

1. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a drive side electrode and a driven side electrode which are disposed to face each other in a sealed tank, the drive side electrode having a drive side main electrode and a drive side arcing contact, the driven side electrode having a driven side main electrode and a driven side arcing contact, the drive side arcing contact being connected to an operating device, and the driven side arcing contact being connected to a double motion mechanism portion,

wherein the double motion mechanism portion includes a drive side connection rod that receives driving force from the drive side electrode, a driven side connection rod that is connected to the driven side arcing contact, a lever that is bent to the operating device side around a rotation axis by causing the driven side connection rod to operate in an opposite direction with respect to an operation of the drive side connection rod, and a guide that defines operations of the drive side connection rod and the driven side connection rod, and

the lever is rotationally moved, the driven side connection rod is driven in a direction which is opposite to the drive side connection rod, and the driven side arcing contact that is connected to the driven side connection rod is driven in a direction which is opposite to the drive side arcing contact of the drive side electrode that is connected to the drive side connection rod, by causing a movable pin to communicate with a grooved cam that is included in the drive side connection rod and a pin communication portion that is disposed in the guide, and moving the movable pin in the grooved cam due to the operation of the drive side connection rod.

2. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the grooved cam is configured with a first straight line portion, a second straight line portion that is disposed on an axis which is different from the first straight line portion, and a connecting portion that connects the first straight line portion and the second straight line portion to each other.

3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the lever is supported to be freely rotationally moved by lever fixing pins which are respectively disposed on both sides of the guide.

4. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein the lever is supported to be freely rotationally moved by lever fixing pins which are respectively disposed on both sides of the guide.

5. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein an operation angle which is formed by the lever from a start to an end of an opening-closing operation, is substantially the same as an angle with respect to a line that is perpendicular to an opening-closing operation axis passing through a central point of the lever fixing pin.

6. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein an operation angle which is formed by the lever from a start to an end of an opening-closing operation, is substantially the same as an angle with respect to a line that is perpendicular to an opening-closing operation axis passing through a central point of the lever fixing pin.

7. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 3 ,

wherein an operation angle which is formed by the lever from a start to an end of an opening-closing operation, is substantially the same as an angle with respect to a line that is perpendicular to an opening-closing operation axis passing through a central point of the lever fixing pin.

8. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 4 ,

wherein an operation angle which is formed by the lever from a start to an end of an opening-closing operation, is substantially the same as an angle with respect to a line that is perpendicular to an opening-closing operation axis passing through a central point of the lever fixing pin.

9. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein a central point of the movable pin is positioned on the operating device side with respect to the line that is perpendicular to the opening-closing operation axis passing through the central point of the lever fixing pin.

10. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein a central point of the movable pin is positioned on the operating device side with respect to the line that is perpendicular to the opening-closing operation axis passing through the central point of the lever fixing pin.

11. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the central point of the movable pin is positioned on a lower side with respect to the opening-closing operation axis passing through the central point of the lever fixing pin.

12. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein the central point of the movable pin is positioned on a lower side with respect to the opening-closing operation axis passing through the central point of the lever fixing pin.

13. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the movable pin is moved in the first straight line portion and the second straight line portion, the lever is stopped, and

when the movable pin is moved in the connecting portion, the lever rotates around a supporting point.

14. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein when the movable pin is moved in the first straight line portion and the second straight line portion, the lever is stopped, and

when the movable pin is moved in the connecting portion, the lever rotates around a supporting point.

15. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein in an opening pole operation, the movable pin is moved on the second straight line portion, the connecting portion, and the first straight line portion in one direction, and

in a closing pole operation, the movable pin is moved on the first straight line portion, the connecting portion, and the second straight line portion in one direction.

16. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein in an opening pole operation, the movable pin is moved on the second straight line portion, the connecting portion, and the first straight line portion in one direction, and

in a closing pole operation, the movable pin is moved on the first straight line portion, the connecting portion, and the second straight line portion in one direction.

17. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein a positional relationship of the first straight line portion, the second straight line portion, and the connecting portion of the grooved cam is determined by a speed ratio of a driven side operation to a drive side operation.

18. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein a positional relationship of the first straight line portion, the second straight line portion, and the connecting portion of the grooved cam is determined by a speed ratio of a driven side operation to a drive side operation.
