Abstract

The present invention relates to a door interlock device for a vacuum circuit breaker, and more particularly, a door interlock device for a vacuum circuit breaker, which is operable in cooperation with an operation of a cradle shutter. A door interlock device for a vacuum circuit breaker according to one embodiment disclosed herein includes a pressing unit that is provided on one end portion of a shutter lever driving a terminal shutter of a cradle, a driving force transfer unit that is rotatably or slidably installed on a cradle side frame, the driving force transfer unit performing a rotary motion or a sliding motion by a force applied from the pressing unit, and a sliding member that is configured to lock or unlock a door lock plate in response to a driving force transferred from the driving force transfer unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A door interlock device of a cradle having a withdrawable vacuum circuit breaker, the device comprising:
a pressing unit that is provided on one end portion of a shutter lever driving a terminal shutter of a cradle and rotates centering on a lever shaft;
a driving force transfer unit that is installed on a cradle side frame, the driving force transfer unit performing a rotary motion or a sliding motion by a force applied from the pressing unit; and
a sliding member that is configured to lock or unlock a door lock plate in response to a driving force transferred from the driving force transfer unit,
wherein the driving force transfer unit comprises:
a first connection member that is horizontally slidably coupled on the cradle side frame and shaped to include a plurality of horizontal sliding holes, wherein supporting members fixed to the cradle side frame are inserted in the horizontal sliding holes to allow the first connection member to slide horizontally in response to the force applied from the pressing unit; and
a second connection member that is rotatably coupled on the cradle side frame, and has one end connected to the first connection member and the other end connected to the sliding member.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the pressing unit protrudes from one side of the shutter lever, and is provided with a bushing or a roller.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the driving force transfer unit is provided with a pressing unit operation recess in which the pressing unit is movably inserted.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first connection member is provided with a first vertical sliding hole to which one end of the second connection member is slidably coupled.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the sliding member is provided with a second vertical sliding hole to which the other end of the second connection member is slidably coupled.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the sliding member performs a linear reciprocal motion, and the door lock plate is provided with a locking recess that restricts a movement of the door lock plate when a locking piece formed on one end of the sliding member is inserted therein.
