Abstract
The circuit breaker disclosed in the invention comprises a first connection terminal, a second connection terminal, a rotatable conducting part disposed between the first connection terminal and second connection terminal, a heat generating part, an igniting part igniting depending on a cut-off signal, an elastic member capable of producing a rotating force, and a holding part for holding the conducting part while resisting the rotating force of the elastic member. Herein, when the holding part releases holding of the conducting part as the igniting part ignites depending on the cut-off signal and the heat generating part generates heat, the conducing part is rotated by the rotating force of the elastic member, and the conductive state between the first connection terminal and second connection terminal is cut off.
Claims12
A circuit breaker comprising:
- a first connection terminal;
- a second connection terminal;
- a rotatable conducting part disposed between said first connection terminal and second connection terminal;
- a heat generating part;
- an igniting part igniting depending on a cut-off signal;
- an elastic member capable of producing a rotating force and free to expand and contract;
- and
- a holding part holding said conducting part while resisting said rotating force of said elastic member,
- wherein when said holding part perform holding of said conducting part, a conductive state between said first connection terminal and second connection terminal is maintained, and when said holding part releases said holding of said conducting part as said igniting part ignites depending on said cut-off signal and said heat generating part generates heat, said conducting part is rotated by said rotating force of said elastic member, and said conductive state between said first connection terminal and second connection terminal is cut off.
