Electric circuit breaker device
Electric circuit breaker device that can be downsized by reducing the distance the moving body moves, including a housing; a cut part placed inside the housing; and a power source placed on the housing, further including a moving body having a first arc-extinguishing space into which the cut part is inserted and housed, and which is filled with an arc-extinguishing material, and a moving body housing part that allows the moving body to move between the first end part and a second end part opposite to the first end part, which is configured to cut the cut part while moving toward the power source P, and the housing includes an expanded arc-extinguishing space positioned so as to face an end part of a separable piece of the cut part when the moving body has moved and stopped, and the expanded arc-extinguishing space being filled with an arc-extinguishing material.
1. An electric circuit breaker device comprising: a housing; a part to be cut that is placed inside the housing and forms a part of an electric circuit; and a power source placed on a side of a first end part of the housing,
the electric circuit breaker device further comprising a moving body that includes a first arc-extinguishing space in which the part to be cut is inserted and housed, and which is filled with an arc-extinguishing material,
wherein the housing includes a moving body housing part that allows the moving body to move between the first end part and a second end part opposite to the first end part,
the moving body is configured to cut the part to be cut housed in the first arc-extinguishing space of the moving body while moving from the first end part toward the second end part by the power source,
the housing includes an expanded arc-extinguishing space positioned so as to face an end part of a separable piece of the part to be cut that is cut off and separated, when the moving body has moved and stopped, the expanded arc-extinguishing space being filled with an arc-extinguishing material, and
when the moving body is moved, a main body part of the part to be cut is not separated but remains in the expanded arc-extinguishing space and the expanded arc-extinguishing space houses the main body part such that a circumference of the main body part is filled with the arc-extinguishing material.
2. The electric circuit breaker device according to claim 1 , wherein
the part to be cut includes a plurality of separable pieces, and
when the moving body has moved and stopped, an end part of at least one of the plurality of separable pieces faces the expanded arc-extinguishing space, and
an end part of a remaining one or more separable pieces faces an intermediate expanded space provided in the housing and filled with an arc-extinguishing material.
3. The electric circuit breaker device according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the moving body directly or indirectly abuts on a part of the moving body housing part to stop the moving body.
4. The electric circuit breaker device according to claim 3 , wherein
the part to be cut includes a plurality of separable pieces, and
when the moving body has moved and stopped, an end part of at least one of the plurality of separable pieces faces the expanded arc-extinguishing space, and
an end part of a remaining one or more separable pieces faces an intermediate expanded space provided in the housing and filled with an arc-extinguishing material.
