Abstract

The present invention relates to a draw out apparatus for an air circuit breaker, and more particularly, to a draw out apparatus for an air circuit breaker capable of allowing a circuit breaker body to be stopped at a preset position, by executing idling when an abnormal operation such as an over-draw in operation and an over-draw out operation occurs at the preset position such as a disconnect position, a test position or a connect position, and capable of preventing damage of a circuit breaker and a cradle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A draw out apparatus for an air circuit breaker, comprising:
a cradle configured to accommodate therein a circuit breaker body;
a driving shaft penetratingly-installed at first and second side plates of the cradle; and
a worm wheel provided at one end of the driving shaft,
characterized in that the apparatus comprises:
first and second plates installed at the first side plate so as to be spaced from each other, and a third plate installed in front of the first plate in a spaced manner;
a main shaft rotatably installed at the first and second plates, and having a worm gear portion for rotating the worm wheel at part of an outer circumferential surface thereof;
an inner clutch provided at a front end of the main shaft;
a front shaft rotatably installed at the third plate, and coupled to the main shaft in a coaxial manner; and
an outer clutch slidably installed at the front shaft, and formed to be coupled to or separated from the inner clutch.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a locking portion is formed at the main shaft so as to protrude in a polygonal shape or a concavo-convex shape,
wherein the apparatus further comprises a coupling plate formed to be coupled to or separated from the locking portion, and
wherein a coupling hole for inserting the locking portion is formed at the coupling plate.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a flange is formed at part of the front shaft so as to be supported by contacting the third plate, and
wherein a clutch spring is provided between the outer clutch and the flange such that a force is applied in a direction to couple the outer clutch to the inner clutch.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a shaft groove for inserting part of the main shaft is formed at a rear end of the front shaft in an axial direction.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a rear end of the front shaft has a sectional surface of a polygonal shape, a cross shape or a saw-toothed shape, and
wherein an insertion groove having a polygonal shape, a cross shape or a saw-toothed shape is formed at the outer clutch such that the rear end is inserted into the outer clutch.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inner clutch and the outer clutch are provided with an inner bending portion and an outer bending portion, respectively, at contacting surfaces thereof, such that the inner clutch and the outer clutch are coupled to each other or slide from each other.

7. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a padlock fitted into an outer circumferential surface of the front shaft, having a box shape, and configured to move the coupling plate.

8. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a return spring for returning the coupling plate to the original position is provided between the coupling plate and the first plate.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a stopper protrudes from the first and second side plates, and
wherein a cam having first and second stopper grooves locked by the stopper at a connect position and a disconnect position, respectively, is provided at one side of the driving shaft.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a latch for fixing the padlock which has been moved backward is provided at the first side plate.
