Abstract

The present application relates to an electric circuit breaker device and has an object to reduce in size while maintaining a required strength. The electric circuit breaker device includes, in a resin housing ( 10 ), an igniter ( 20 ), a rod-like projectile ( 40 ), a conductor portion ( 50 ), which are disposed in this order from a first end portion ( 11 ) of the housing toward a second end portion ( 12 ) opposite the first end portion in an axial direction, and an insulating closed space ( 60 ) between the second end portion of the housing and the conductor portion, wherein the conductor portion is a plate portion including connection portions ( 51, 52 ) on both end sides; and a cut portion ( 53 ) at an intermediate portion, the conductor portion extending in a width direction orthogonal to a housing axial direction, the rod-like projectile is disposed to face the cut portion in the axial direction, and the cut portion includes fragile portions ( 55 a, 55 b ) formed at two locations on the second end portion side of the conductor portion, each of the fragile portions being a notch portion.

Claims (14)

1. An electric circuit breaker device comprising:

in a housing made of a synthetic resin,

an igniter, a rod-like projectile made of a synthetic resin, a conductor portion for forming a part of an electric circuit, which are disposed in this order from a first end portion of the housing toward a second end portion opposite the first end portion in a housing axial direction, and an insulating closed space between the second end portion of the housing and the conductor portion, wherein

the conductor portion is a plate portion including: a first connection portion and a second connection portion on both end sides; and a cut portion at an intermediate portion, the conductor portion being disposed with a surface of the cut portion being in a housing width direction orthogonal to the housing axial direction,

the rod-like projectile is disposed to face the surface of the cut portion of the conductor portion in the housing axial direction,

the cut portion includes:

a 2a fragile portion and a 2b fragile portion formed on a surface thereof on the first end portion side, at two locations at an interval in the housing width direction, each of the fragile portions being a notch portion that is square or rectangular in a planar shape surrounded on three sides, and

a 1a fragile portion and a 1b fragile portion formed on a surface thereof on the second end portion side, at two locations at an interval in the housing width direction, each of the fragile portions being a notch portion that is square or rectangular in a planar shape surrounded on three sides,

a central axis of the 2a fragile portion in the housing axial direction coincides with a central axis of the 1a fragile portion in the housing axial direction, and a central axis of the 2b fragile portion in the housing axial direction coincides with a central axis of the 1b fragile portion in the housing axial direction, and

a width (W 1 ) of the 1a fragile portion is the same as a width (W 1 ) of the 1b fragile portion, a width (W 2 ) of the 2a fragile portion is the same as a width (W 2 ) of the 2b fragile portion, the widths W 1 and W 2 being dimensions in the housing width direction, and W 1 and W 2 have a relationship of W 1 ≥W 2 .

2. The electric circuit breaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

the W 1 is 5 mm or less in length, and the W 2 is 5 mm or less in length of the cut portion.

3. The electric circuit breaker device according to claim 1 , wherein

a thickness (t 11 ) and a thickness (t 12 ), which are dimensions in the housing axial direction, are, respectively, a thickness of a portion of the cut portion where the 1a fragile portion, the 1b fragile portion, the 2a fragile portion, and the 2b fragile portion are not formed; and a thickness of a portion of the cut portion where the 1a fragile portion, the 1b fragile portion, the 2a fragile portion, and the 2b fragile portion are formed, where the thickness (t 11 ) and the thickness (t 12 ) satisfies a relationship of t 12 /t 11 =from 0.2 to 0.7.
