Abstract

An electric circuit breaker, including a housing, a cut portion that is arranged in the housing and forms a part of an electric circuit, a cutting member that cuts the cut portion, and a power source arranged on a first end portion side of the housing, the electric circuit breaker including a moving body that allows the cut portion to be inserted and accommodated therein and includes the cutting member and a first arc extinguishing space adjacent to the cutting member, in which the housing includes a cylindrical portion capable of moving the moving body between the first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite to the first end portion. The moving body is further configured such that the cutting member provided in the moving body cuts the cut portion while the moving body moves from the first end portion toward the second end portion by the power source.

Claims (27)

1. An electric circuit breaker, including a housing, a cut portion that is arranged in the housing and forms a part of an electric circuit, a cutting member that cuts the cut portion, and a power source arranged on a first end portion side of the housing,

the electric circuit breaker comprising a moving body that includes the cutting member and a first arc extinguishing space adjacent to the cutting member, the moving body comprising a space that allows the cut portion to be inserted and accommodated therein by surrounding with an upper wall, a lower wall, and side walls,

wherein the housing includes a cylindrical portion capable of moving the moving body between the first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite to the first end portion,

wherein the moving body is configured such that the cutting member provided in the moving body cuts the cut portion accommodated in the space of the moving body while the moving body moves from the first end portion toward the second end portion by the power source, and the cut portion moves along with the moving body while the cut portion remains accommodated in the space of the moving body, and

wherein the first arc extinguishing space of the moving body is configured to be located between a separation piece of the cut portion that is cut and separated and a main body portion of the cut portion that remains in the housing without being separated when the moving body moves,

wherein the first arc extinguishing space does not accommodate the main body portion of the cut portion remained not separated in the housing.

2. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the moving body includes a second arc extinguishing space on a side opposite to the first arc extinguishing space across the cutting member.

3. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the moving body includes insulating spaces that are insulated from each other, and

wherein the insulating spaces are configured to face the main body portion of the cut portion when the moving body further moves toward the second end portion.

4. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the housing includes a third arc extinguishing space that accommodates an arc extinguishing material outside the cylindrical portion, and

wherein the third arc extinguishing space allows the main body portion to be accommodated and inserted therein.

5. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 4 , wherein a part of the main body portion of the cut portion includes a bent portion that is bent in the third outer arc extinguishing space.

6. An electric circuit breaker, including a housing, a cut portion that is arranged in the housing, forms a part of an electric circuit, and is constituted by a fuse, and a power source arranged on a first end portion side of the housing,

the electric circuit breaker comprising a moving body that and includes a first arc extinguishing space filled with an arc extinguishing material, the moving body comprising a space that allows the cut portion to be inserted and accommodated therein by surrounding with an upper wall, a lower wall, and side walls,

wherein the housing includes a cylindrical portion capable of moving the moving body between the first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite to the first end portion,

wherein the moving body is configured to cut the cut portion accommodated in the first arc extinguishing space of the moving body while moving from the first end portion toward the second end portion by the power source, and the cut portion moves along with the moving body while the cut portion remains accommodated in the space of the moving body, and

wherein the first arc extinguishing space of the moving body is configured to be located between a separation piece of the cut portion that is cut and separated and a main body portion of the cut portion that remains in the housing without being separated when the moving body moves,

wherein the first arc extinguishing space does not accommodate the main body portion of the cut portion remained not separated in the housing.

7. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 6 ,

wherein the moving body includes insulating spaces that are insulated from each other, and

wherein the insulating spaces are configured to face the main body portion of the cut portion when the moving body further moves toward the second end portion.

8. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 6 ,

wherein the housing includes a third arc extinguishing space that accommodates an arc extinguishing material outside the cylindrical portion, and

wherein the third arc extinguishing space allows the main body portion to be accommodated and inserted therein.

9. The electric circuit breaker according to claim 8 , wherein a part of the main body portion of the cut portion includes a bent portion that is bent in the third outer arc extinguishing space.
