Abstract

A terminal structure of main circuit part of vacuum circuit breaker includes a cylindrical terminal having a circular heat fin unit at its inner surface and an air-flow path formed perpendicular to each other at upper and lower portion thereof and a bar type terminal heat diffusion fins at upper, lower and side surfaces thereof to facilitate heat discharging generated at an inner space of the main circuit of the vacuum circuit breaker.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal structure of a main circuit part of a vacuum circuit breaker, the terminal structure of the main circuit part comprising:
a cylindrical terminal comprising a circular heat fin unit at an inner surface of the cylindrical terminal and an air-flow path from a lower side of the cylindrical terminal to an upper side of the cylindrical terminal in a first direction perpendicular to a length-wise center axis of the cylindrical terminal; and
a bar terminal and heat diffusion fins provided at an upper surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces of the bar terminal;
wherein the circular heat fin unit is located at the air-flow path and comprises a plurality of heat fins aligned parallel to the first direction.

2. The terminal structure of claim 1 , wherein the air-flow path is between:
an upper aperture formed at the upper side of the cylindrical terminal; and
a lower aperture formed at the lower side of the cylindrical terminal.

3. The terminal structure of claim 2 , wherein the upper aperture and the lower aperture are formed to be symmetrical to each other.

4. The terminal structure of claim 2 , wherein the upper aperture and the lower aperture are formed to extend toward the inner surface of the cylindrical terminal.

5. The terminal structure of claim 2 , wherein the air-flow path corresponds to a diameter of a cross-sectional circle of the cylindrical terminal.

6. The terminal structure of claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the circular heat fin unit is smaller than an inner diameter of the cylindrical terminal.

7. The terminal structure of claim 1 , wherein the circular heat fin unit is coupled to a base of the cylindrical terminal.
