2. Description of the Related Art A power circuit breaker provided to protect a power supply system in an emergency such as a lightning strike requires an extremely high-speed opening / closing operation, but a situation requiring the interruption operation is extremely rare. , It is necessary to maintain a stationary state for a long period of time and surely operate at high speed when necessary. For this reason, there is a possibility that the valve element may become stuck or the like for some reason while it is stationary for a long period of time, and it will not operate normally. In particular, this is likely to occur in the pilot circuit with a small operating force. Among the abnormal operations, particularly, the pumping operation that returns to the closing state as it is after the interruption operation or the repetition of interruption and closing imposes a large load both mechanically and electrically.
Most unfavorable.

The control port 14 of the switching valve 13 is connected to the open main valve pilot chamber 17. The valve body 15 of the opening main valve 11 is applied in the direction in which the force of the spring 16 is closed. When the opening main valve pilot chamber 17 is set to a high pressure, the valve seat 19 is closed and the opening main valve pilot chamber is closed. The valve seat 19 is opened by the pressure of the fluid pushed out of the cylinder operation chamber 7 when the pressure of the valve 17 is reduced. On the back surface of the valve body 15, there is provided a low pressure chamber 18 which always communicates with the return side and has a low pressure. By providing this low pressure chamber 18, the inner diameter of the main valve pilot chamber 17 for opening can be made smaller than the valve seat 19. However, in the closed state of the circuit breaker, the valve 15 is closed by the supply pressure applied to the open main valve pilot chamber 17 rather than the force for opening the valve body 15 by the supply pressure acting outward from the valve seat 19. It is configured so that the force that it exerts is greater.

When an opening command is issued in this state, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2, the opening solenoid 38 is excited to open the opening pilot valve 37, and the switching valve pilot chamber 28 is returned to the low pressure return side. Is connected to
The switching valve 13 is switched to the open circuit operating state as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2 by the high pressure acting on the valve chamber having the supply side valve chamber 29 and the control port 14. That is, the supply side valve seat 33 is closed and the return side valve seat 34 is opened. As a result, the control port 14 and the open-circuit main valve pilot chamber 17 connected thereto are connected to the return side through the throttle 35 and the open-circuit pilot valve 37, and the pressure becomes low, so that the open-circuit main valve 11 becomes a fluid pressure cylinder. The high pressure acting from the cylinder operation chamber 7 of No. 4 opens as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2 to connect the cylinder operation chamber 7 to the return side. As a result, the piston 5 moves toward the cylinder operating chamber 7 and the opening operation of the movable contact 2 is started. After that, when the fluid in the cylinder operation chamber 7 is pushed out by the high pressure applied to the small pressure receiving area chamber 6 of the cylinder mechanism 4, the opening main valve 11 is opened by the pressure difference generated before and after the valve seat 19 of the opening main valve 11. The open state is maintained, and the contacts 1 and 2 shown in FIG. 3 are completely opened. When this opening operation is completed, the flow from the cylinder operating chamber 7 to the return side via the valve seat 19 of the opening main valve 1 is stopped,
Since the pressure difference before and after the valve seat 19 of the opening main valve 11 disappears, the valve seat 19 of the opening main valve 11 is closed by the force of the spring 16. On the other hand, since the opening solenoid 38 is deenergized, the opening pilot valve 37 is also closed by the spring force, and all the valves except the return side valve seat 34 are closed. At this time, since the switching valve pilot chamber 28 is connected to the control port 14 which has already become low pressure through the throttle 35, the switching valve pilot chamber 28 is kept at low pressure even when the open circuit pilot valve 37 is closed,
The switching valve 13 is kept open.

Since the closing main valve pilot chamber 24 as well as the opening main valve pilot chamber 17 is already at a low pressure, the piston 21 of the closing main valve 12 once moves upward.
When the opening operation is completed, the spring 23 returns downward,
The circuit-closing main valve 12 is closed from the beginning, and does not affect the circuit-opening operation because it remains closed even if only the piston 21 moves.

Next, when a closing command is issued in the open state of FIG. 3, the closing solenoid 40 is excited and the closing pilot valve 39 is pushed open as shown by the arrow in FIG. As a result, the fluid flows from the primary side to the secondary side of the closed-circuit pilot valve 39 connected to the high-pressure supply side, pushes the check valve 41 open, and opens the switching valve pilot chamber 28.
Is set to a high pressure to switch the switching valve 13 to the closed state.
That is, the switching valve 13 switches the return side valve seat 34 to the closed state and the supply side valve seat 33 to the opened state. As a result, the control port 14 and the closing main valve pilot chamber 24 connected thereto have a high pressure, so that the piston 2 of the closing main valve 12 is closed.
1 and the valve body 20 move downward to open the valve body 20 from the valve seat 27, connect the cylinder operation chamber 7 to the high pressure side through the valve seat 27 portion, and the stone 5 and the movable contactor 2 perform the closing operation. Start. As the pressure in the cylinder operating chamber 7 rises, the pressure in the auxiliary chamber 26 also rises via the through hole 25, but it does not rise to the supply pressure while the piston 5 is moving. That is, the supply pressure acting on the small pressure receiving area chamber 6, the mass of the movable contactor, the piston 5
A pressure sufficient to drive the piston 5 by overcoming the load such as the frictional force of the surrounding packing is generated in the cylinder operation chamber 7, and this pressure is approximately the small pressure receiving area chamber 6 and the cylinder operation chamber 7.
However, since the cylinder operating chamber 7 has a larger pressure receiving area, this pressure is lower than the supply pressure. Therefore, at this pressure, the piston 21 is pushed downward by the supply pressure acting on the closing main valve pilot chamber 24 and the force of the spring 23, and this force is exerted on the auxiliary chamber 26 and the spring 22.
It is configured so that it is larger than the force acting from above. As a result, during the circuit closing operation of the piston 5, the circuit closing main valve 12 is kept open, and the circuit closing operation is continued.

At this time, when the switching valve 13 is switched to the closing operation state, the opening main valve pilot chamber 17 also becomes high in pressure, but the opening main valve 11 is closed before the operation is started, and the force for closing the valve is increased. Only increase.

On the other hand, the closing pilot valve 39 is opened to 2
When the pressure on the secondary side becomes high, the pressure in the anti-pumping piston operation chamber 44 rises to a pressure determined by the throttles 45 and 46, and this pressure causes the anti-pumping piston 42 to be driven by the high pressure on the secondary side of the check valve 41. The force is overcome to move to the left, and the check valve 41 is pushed to close it.
However, since the switching valve 13 has already been switched to the closed circuit operation state and the valve chamber having the control port 14 is at a high pressure, the switching valve pilot chamber 2 connected to the switching valve pilot chamber 2 via the throttle 35.
Even if the check valve 41 is closed, 8 is maintained at a high pressure and maintains the closed circuit operation state. Similarly, even when the closing solenoid 40 is de-excited and the closing pilot valve 39 is closed, the switching valve 13 maintains the closed operation state.

When the closing operation is completed and the piston 5 is stopped and the flow is stopped, the cylinder operation chamber 7 and the through hole 2
5. Since the auxiliary chamber 26 rises to the supply pressure, the valve body 20 and the piston 21 are pushed up by the force of the spring 22 to close the closing main valve 12. When the closing pilot valve 39 and the check valve 41 are closed, the pressure between them is reduced by the throttle 45.
It goes out to the return side through and 46 and gradually becomes low pressure,
The anti-pumping piston operating chamber 44 also has a low pressure, and the anti-pumping piston 42 is returned to the right by the spring 43. As a result of these series of operations, the closed state shown in FIG. 1 is reached.

First, since the circuit breaker requires an extremely high-speed opening operation, it is necessary for the opening main valve 11 to flow an extremely large flow rate so that the fluid in the cylinder operating chamber 7 can be discharged quickly. Since the diameter and the opening amount of the valve body 15 become large, the pilot flow rate for operating this must also be made large. However, according to the first embodiment, since the low pressure chamber 18 is provided on the back surface of the valve body 15 of the open main valve 11, the open main valve pilot chamber 17 has an inner diameter smaller than that of the valve seat 19. In the closed state, the valve closing force due to the supply pressure applied to the open main valve pilot chamber 17 is applied to the valve seat 19
It is possible to overcome the valve opening force due to the supply pressure acting from the outside to prevent leakage from the valve seat 19. Therefore,
The pilot flow rate supplied to and discharged from the open main valve pilot chamber 17 can be reduced, and the switching valve 13 can be a small valve. Furthermore, since the switching valve 13 is also configured such that the rear surface of the cylindrical portion 32 of the valve body 31 is opened to the return side, the switching valve pilot chamber 28 has an area larger than that of the return side valve seat 34 and the cylindrical portion 32. Since it suffices to have a large pressure receiving area, the pilot flow rate for operating the switching valve 13 can be small, and the open-circuit pilot valve 37 and the close-circuit pilot valve 39 can be downsized. As a result, the entire fluid pressure drive device can be downsized.

Moreover, the low pressure chamber 18 of the main valve 11 for opening the circuit is
Since it is connected to the return side at a place that is not easily affected by the flow of the large flow rate flowing out from the main valve 11 for opening when opening, the opening amount of the valve element 15 is changed due to the influence of pressure fluctuation and the characteristics vary. There is no such thing.

Further, since the back surface of the cylindrical portion 32 of the switching valve 13 is opened to the return side and the holding mechanism 36 is provided in this portion, the fluid pressure source 8 is stopped and the accumulator 9 is not accumulating pressure. However, since the position of the valve body 31 is mechanically maintained and the circuit breaker is kept in the same state as before the work even when the operation is restarted after carrying out the work such as transportation, installation and inspection, the work safety is ensured. Will increase.

In general, a two-position three-way valve has a simple structure, but since it is necessary to control the coaxiality of the open-circuit valve and the close-circuit valve, if the main valve for supplying a large flow rate is configured as described above, Due to its large size, it is difficult to obtain high precision and manufacturing becomes difficult. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the small-sized switching valve 13 uses a two-position three-way valve, and the large-sized open main valve 11 is used.
And the main valve 12 for closing the circuit are separately configured. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the closing main valve 12 is also configured with the valve body 20 and the piston 21 separately, so that the accuracy control such as the coaxiality at the time of machining the parts is facilitated and the manufacture is facilitated.

Next, when the main valve 11 for opening the circuit is closed after the opening operation is completed, all the surroundings become low pressure, and the valve body 15 is seated on the valve seat 19 by the force of the spring 16. Main valve for closing 1
In the case of 2 as well, when closing the circuit after closing the circuit, the surrounding pressure becomes the supply pressure, and the valve body 20 is seated on the valve seat 27 by the force of the spring 22. Therefore, since the force at the time of seating is smaller than that in the configuration in which it is closed by the fluid pressure, damage to the valve seat can be prevented, a long life can be obtained, and high reliability is maintained for a long time. Moreover, when these valves perform an operation opposite to the intended function of the valve, that is, when the opening main valve 11 is closed, the closing main valve 12 is opened, the fluid pressure is increased. Since the force due to acts on each valve in the direction of closing each valve, the valve already closed by the spring force is held tightly closed, and even if the spring force alone does not completely close the fluid pressure, Since it is surely closed by the above, it is possible to more reliably prevent leakage from the valve seat portion. On the other hand, the opening pilot valve 37, the closing pilot valve 39, and the check valve 41 are also opened, and after performing a predetermined operation, the surroundings have the same pressure and are closed by the spring force. At the time of the closing operation, the closing pilot valve 39 and the check valve 41 are more firmly closed and held by the fluid pressure after the closing operation is completed. Therefore, similar to the opening main valve 11 and the closing main valve 12, the valves are closed. The seat can be prevented from being damaged, and leakage is unlikely to occur, resulting in high reliability.

The low pressure chamber 18 of the main valve 11 for opening and the auxiliary chamber 26 of the main valve 12 for closing also have the following effects. That is, in the open main valve 11, the low pressure chamber 18 is provided to reduce the diameter of the open main valve pilot chamber 17 so that the force for closing the valve during the closing operation is minimized. Since excessive stress does not act on 19, the valve seat can be prevented from being damaged. On the other hand, in the closing main valve 12, the cylinder operating chamber 7 is opened through the through hole 25 during the opening operation to the open state.
Since the pressure in the auxiliary chamber 26 connected to the valve is reduced and the force for keeping the valve closed is minimized, excessive stress does not act on the valve seat 27, so damage to the valve seat can be prevented.

Furthermore, in the unlikely event that some abnormality occurs and the closing pilot valve 39 remains open even after the closing operation is completed, the secondary side remains at a high pressure.
Leakage continues to the low pressure side through the throttles 45 and 46, and the anti-pumping piston operating chamber 44 has risen to a pressure determined by these throttles 44 and 46. As with the closing operation shown in FIG. Moves to the left to maintain the closed state with the check valve 41 closed. When the opening command is issued in this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening solenoid 38 is excited, the opening pilot valve 37 is opened, and the primary side of the check valve 41 is high pressure and the secondary side is low pressure. In this state, the anti-pumping piston 42 is configured such that the force acting from the anti-pumping piston operating chamber 44 side is larger than the force acting from the primary side of the check valve 41 even in this state. Therefore, the closed state of the check valve 41 is maintained. Therefore, the open circuit operation is performed to reach the open circuit state shown in FIG. 7, but the check valve 41 is kept closed even in this state. Therefore, even if the closing command is issued in this state, the closing pilot valve 3
Since 9 is open, the pressure of each part does not change at all, and the check valve 41 remains closed. Therefore, the switching valve 1
No. 3 is not switched to the closing operation state, and the closing operation is not performed. That is, when an abnormality occurs in the closing pilot valve 39, the closed state of the switching valve 13 is maintained as it is by the anti-pumping piston 42, and the opening operation is performed if the opening command is issued, but once opened, It becomes impossible to close the circuit. Therefore, it functions as an anti-pumping mechanism for preventing a malfunction accident in which the circuit is arbitrarily closed after the circuit is opened.

Moreover, if the closing pilot valve 39 is left open, it continues to leak to the low pressure side through the throttles 45 and 46, so that the outflow amount of the high pressure working fluid accumulated in the accumulator 9 increases and the fluid pressure source is increased. Since the number of times of operation of No. 8 increases, the safety can be improved by providing an abnormality detecting unit that detects this and outputs an abnormal state.

Furthermore, in the closed state, the piston 21 of the closing main valve 12 moves downward at a pressure higher than the pressure at which the pressure in the cylinder operating chamber 7 drops and the piston 5 begins to open. By setting the dimensions so that the main valve 12 is pushed open, high pressure is supplied from the closing main valve 12 before the piston 5 starts the opening operation, so that even if the opening main valve 11 leaks. Even if this happens, it is possible to prevent a malfunction that causes the circuit to open.

Further, in the open circuit state, the dimension is set so that the main circuit opening valve 11 opens at a pressure lower than the pressure at which the pressure in the cylinder operating chamber 7 rises and the piston 5 starts the circuit closing operation. As a result, the opening main valve 11 is opened before the piston 5 starts the closing operation to prevent the pressure from rising. Therefore, even if a leakage occurs from the closing main valve 12, the malfunction of the closing operation is prevented. it can.
