Abstract

The present invention relates to a high-voltage gas circuit breaker, and there is provided a gas circuit breaker including a movable arc contact and a fixed arc contact engaged with the movable arc contact; a cylinder rod coupled with the movable arc contact; an insulating rod connected to the cylinder rod through a link mechanism in which an end thereof is connected to an operating mechanism; and an ejection nozzle for ejecting an arc-extinguishing gas between the movable arc contact and the fixed arc contact, wherein the link mechanism is reduced in a length direction of the insulating rod to pull the cylinder rod to a side of the insulating rod when the insulating rod is moved apart from the cylinder rod.

Claims (23)

1. A gas circuit breaker, comprising:

a first arc contact and a second arc contact engaged with the first arc contact;

a cylinder rod coupled with the first arc contact; and

an insulating rod connected to the cylinder rod through a link mechanism in which an end thereof is connected to an operating mechanism,

wherein the link mechanism is reduced in a length direction of the insulating rod to pull the cylinder rod to a side of the insulating rod when the insulating rod is moved apart from the cylinder rod,

wherein the link mechanism comprises,

a 4-bar link in which a pair of vertices facing each other are coupled with ends of the insulating rod and cylinder rod respectively, and

the remaining vertices of the 4-bar link are inserted into a pair of guide grooves formed within a case accommodating the link mechanism respectively, and

a gap between the pair of guide grooves is formed such that the side of the insulating rod is larger than the side of the cylinder rod.

2. The gas circuit breaker of claim 1 , further comprising:

an ejection nozzle for ejecting an arc-extinguishing gas between the first arc contact and the second arc contact.

3. The gas circuit breaker of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reverse link for moving the second arc contact in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the cylinder rod.

4. The gas circuit breaker of claim 1 , wherein the gap between the pair of guide grooves is gradually increased toward the side of the insulating rod.

5. A connecting mechanism of a gas circuit breaker, comprising:

a case; and

a link mechanism provided in an inner side of the case to connect an insulating rod of the gas circuit breaker and an operating mechanism,

wherein the link mechanism is reduced in a length direction of the insulating rod when the insulating rod is moved to be pulled out of the gas circuit breaker by the operating mechanism,

wherein the link mechanism comprises,

a pair of guide grooves formed at an inner side of the case; and

a 4-bar link in which a pair of vertices facing each other are inserted into the pair of guide grooves, and the remaining pair of vertices are connected to an insulating rod of the gas circuit breaker and an operating mechanism respectively, and

a gap between the pair of guide grooves is formed such that the side of the insulating rod is larger than the side of the cylinder rod.

6. The connecting mechanism of a gas circuit breaker of claim 5 , wherein the gap between the pair of guide grooves is gradually increased toward the side of the insulating rod.
