Accordingly, since the acting forces of the plurality of second contact pressure springs 15 urging the plurality of second contacts 5 respectively act on the opening / closing operation mechanism 7 via the first contacts 8 at the same time, the opening / closing operation mechanism 7 7 requires a large closing operation force and a strong mechanism.

In order to solve the above problems, a circuit breaker according to the present invention is provided with an arc extinguishing device having a plurality of arc extinguishing plates, and an arc extinguishing device arranged near the arc extinguishing device. First contacts having a planar contact surface to be formed, each having a contact surface facing the contact surface of the first contact, and each being loosely fitted and urged in the direction of the first contact. In the separated state of the second contact divided into a plurality of second contacts and the first contact and the plurality of second contacts, the plurality of second contacts are arranged in the first direction from the center to the both ends as the second contacts are arranged at both ends. Locking means having locking edges for locking the plurality of second contacts so that the separation distance between the one contact and the contact surface is sequentially increased.

With such a configuration, the first contact and the second contact
When the contacts come in contact with each other, the second contact located at the center contacts first, and then the second contacts on both sides come into contact,
Since the second contactors at both ends are sequentially contacted one after another, the load required at the time of closing operation increases stepwise, and the circuit can be closed with less operating force than when all the second contacts come into contact at the same time. In addition, at the time of the opening operation, since the separation starts from the second contacts at both ends and finally the second contact at the center is separated,
The arc is concentrated at the center and the arc extinguishing performance is improved.

Also, the plurality of second contacts can be arranged in a fan shape as a whole such that the distance between them increases as the contact surface approaches the contact surface side. In this way, the adjacent second
The gap between the contact surfaces near the contact surfaces of the contacts can be ensured, and a small molten metal of a metal that may be generated by a high-temperature arc when interrupting a large current may cause a bridge between the adjacent second contacts. Disappears. Further, at the time of closing, the second contact other than the central portion contacts the contact surface of the first contact at an angle, and after contact, separates from the locking edge and makes planar contact. Since the second contact is loosely fitted, the second contact is displaced from the initial contact position, so that even if an arc is generated at the moment of contact of the contact, the second contact comes into contact with a position different from a trace generating portion due to the arc. And the stability of the contact is maintained.

The closing operation of the circuit breaker of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the first contact 8 is moved rightward, that is, in the direction of the second contacts 41 to 44 from the state shown in FIG. 1 by operating the opening / closing operation mechanism 7 shown in FIG. 6 is located at the center of the second
It comes into contact with the second contact point 51 of the contact 41 in a planar manner. When the first contact 8 is further moved rightward, the second contact 41
End 41a is disengaged from the engaging edge 12b of the non-magnetic plate 12, and the first contact 6 comes into contact with one corner of the second contact 52 of the second contact 42 as shown in FIGS. At this time, as shown in FIG.
a is still engaged with the engagement edge 12b. When the first contact 8 further moves, as shown in FIG.
The entire surface of the second contact 52 contacts the first contact 6, and the end 42a of the second contact 42 is separated from the engagement edge 12b as shown in FIG. At this time, since the second contact 42 is loosely fitted, the end 4 of the second contact 42 is actuated by the action of the contact pressure spring.
2b moves in the direction of the end 43b of the second contact 43 and makes contact therewith. After the contact, the end provided with the second contact 52 slides toward the second contact 51. That is, the second contactor 42 sways laterally and deviates from the initial contact position. Similarly, the second contact 53 of the second contact 43 and the second contact 53 of the second contact 44
The contact 54 comes into contact with the first contact 6 to complete the closing operation.

The first contact 6 of the first contact 8 sequentially comes into contact with the second contacts 51 to 54 thus divided with a time lag against the urging force acting on each of the second contacts 51 to 54. , The circuit can be closed with a small operation force. Furthermore, since the small initial arc is generated at the moment of contact due to the difference between the initial contact position of the second contact points 51 to 54 and the contact position at the time of contact completion, a trace generating portion due to the arc is formed at the time of contact completion. Since contact is made at different portions, a good contact state can be ensured, and an improvement in current carrying capacity can be expected.

Next, the opening operation of the circuit breaker of this embodiment will be described. From the state where the first contact 6 of the first contact 8 and all the second contacts 51 to 54 of the second contacts 41 to 44 are in contact with each other, the opening and closing operation mechanism 7 is operated to open the circuit. When the contact 6 and the second contacts 51 to 54 are separated from each other, the second contacts 51 to 5 of the plurality of divided second contacts 41 to 44 are separated.
4, the second contact 51 located at the central portion is closer to the first contact 6.
Due to the small separation distance from the center, the generated arc concentrates on the central portion. Therefore, the arc is easily attracted to the arc-extinguishing plate 9b of the arc-extinguishing device 9. In addition, since the plurality of divided second contacts 41 to 44 are generally arranged in a substantially sector shape in an open state, a gap between adjacent second contacts is large, and a small metal flake is generated by the arc. However, the metal flakes do not adhere to both of the adjacent second contacts, so that the division of each of the second contacts is maintained, and the desired performance can be maintained.

In the above-described embodiment, the engaging edge 12b is formed in an arc shape. However, the engaging edge 12b is bent so as to be closest to the first contact point 6, that is, in a "C" shape. A mating edge can also be formed, and a similar effect is achieved.
