FIG. 5 shows a tripping mechanism of a circuit breaker equipped with a conventional instantaneous tripping electromagnet. This tripping mechanism uses a bimetal l for time-delayed tripping and an electromagnet 2 for instantaneous tripping, and the electromagnet 2 for instantaneous tripping is a fixed core 4 located opposite to each other with a heater 3, which is a conductive part, in between.
and a movable core 5, the movable core 5 is rotatably supported around a fulcrum 6 by a support frame 7 that supports the entire electromagnet,
The movable core return spring 8 installed between the movable core 5 and the support frame 7 always biases the movable core in the counterclockwise direction. The tripping shaft 9 common to each pole located between the fixed core 4 and the movable core 50 is always engaged with the latch lO which rotates around the shaft 11 at its latch portion 9α, and the latch 10 is connected to the hook 12 of the opening/closing mechanism. It is held in an engaged state. The tripping shaft 9 and the latch lO are given a clockwise rotational force by the spring 13, and when a current exceeding the set value for the instantaneous tripping operation flows through the heater 3, which is always at the rest position shown in the figure, the induced magnetic flux locks the tripping shaft 9 and the latch lO. The core 4 overcomes the movable core return spring 8 and attracts the movable core 5. Due to this electromagnetic force, the movable core 5 rotates clockwise about the fulcrum 6 and hits the lower protrusion 9h of the tripping shaft 9, causing the tripping shaft 9 to spring 13
to overcome this and rotate it counterclockwise.

Due to the rotation of the tripping shaft 9, the latch portion 9α is turned into the latch IO.
When released from the hook 12, the hook 12 is released and springs up due to clockwise rotation of the latch IO about the shaft 11. As a result, the opening/closing mechanism rotates the movable frame 14 that supports the movable contact clockwise about the shaft 15, thereby opening the contact. The movable core 5 is configured to automatically return to the illustrated position by a movable core return spring 8 after the flow 1i is interrupted.

In such conventional circuit breakers, due to the structure of the tripping mechanism, if a 1JL current, which is slightly smaller than the set value for instantaneous tripping operation such as 11 seconds or inrush current when starting a motor, flows several times, It resulted in an instantaneous tripping operation (
(hereinafter referred to as "tripping operation due to history"), which caused malfunctions in actual use. This occurs when a current that is slightly smaller than the set value for instantaneous trip operation flows.

The movable core 5 is moved by electromagnetic force to a position where it touches the downward protrusion 9b of the tripping shaft 9, and is returned by receiving a reaction force from the tripping shaft 9. At this time, the tripping shaft 9 is pushed. As the latch part 9α and the latch 10 rotate slightly in the counterclockwise direction, the engagement surfaces of the latch part 9α and the latch 10 become misaligned (the misalignment does not return due to the frictional force of the engagement surfaces), so by repeating this several times, the latch part 9α and The lap dimension l of the latch 10 gradually becomes smaller.

When the so-called dead center position of the spring is reached, the spring force acts in a straight line direction passing through the fulcrum portion 6. When the movable core 5 further rotates, the biasing direction of the movable core return spring 8 is reversed.

This leads to the contact being opened. When the movable core 5 has moved beyond the dead point of the spring 8, the protrusion 21 of the movable frame 14 engages with the protrusion 20 of the upper movable core 5α when the contact is opened, and the upper movable core 5α is rotated counterclockwise. In this embodiment, if a current equal to or higher than the set value for the instantaneous trip operation does not flow through the conductive part 3 of the circuit breaker, the movable core 5 releases the movable core return spring 8. Set it so that it does not move beyond the dead center. By doing so, in the event of a rush current at the time of starting the motor that is smaller than the set value for the instantaneous tripping operation, the movable core 5 will be pushed back by the spring 8 just before the dead center position and will move to the position where it hits the tripping shaft 9. Therefore, the tripping operation based on the history as in the conventional case does not occur. Moreover, when the movable core 5 moves beyond the dead center of the spring 80, the direction of the biasing force of the spring 8 is reversed and the pulling shaft 9 is rapidly operated. The lap dimension l can be made large, and the tripping mechanism can be easily adjusted. Also,
In order to move the spring 80 beyond the dead center, the movable core 5 may have an integral structure, but as in this embodiment, the movable core 5
is divided into upper and lower parts, an upper movable core 5α and a lower movable core 5b.
If the configuration is such that the upper movable core 5α rotates independently around the pin 16 after the dead center of the spring 8 is passed, in addition to reversing the biasing direction of the spring 8, the movable core 5α The inertial mass of the core 5 is also reduced, resulting in the additional effect that the instantaneous tripping operation can be performed at a higher speed over the entire current range, and the breaking capacity of the single circuit breaker can be improved.

According to the present invention, the movable core of the instantaneous tripping electromagnet moves beyond the dead center of the movable core return spring only when a current equal to or higher than the set value for instantaneous tripping flows through the conductive part of the zero-circuit breaker. Since the trip shaft is configured to operate rapidly by reversing the biasing direction of the spring, the diameter of the trip shaft bolt is set to A. It is possible to easily prevent the tripping operation due to the history that occurs due to such reasons, and increase credibility.
