The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

The present embodiment provides a circuit breaker that can be used for leakage, overload, and short-circuit protection.

Referring to fig. 1, the circuit breaker 010 includes an idle opening mechanism and a leakage mechanism 100, wherein the leakage mechanism 100 is mounted on the idle opening mechanism, and in case of leakage, the leakage mechanism 100 can drive the idle opening mechanism to cut off a circuit (trip), so as to achieve a protection effect.

The idle opening mechanism comprises a moving contact, a fixed contact, a linkage shaft 200 and a handle 210; the moving contact can be contacted with or separated from the fixed contact; when the moving contact is contacted with the fixed contact, the circuit is communicated (switched on); when the moving contact is separated from the fixed contact, the circuit is cut off (tripped); the linkage shaft 200 and the handle 210 are in transmission fit with the moving contact, and the leakage mechanism 100 is in transmission fit with the linkage shaft 200; when electricity leaks, the electricity leakage mechanism 100 can drive the linkage shaft 200 to move, so that the movable contact and the fixed contact are separated through the linkage shaft 200, the idle opening mechanism trips, and meanwhile, the handle 210 rotates to a tripping position; when the switch needs to be switched on, the handle 210 is rotated to the switch-on position, and the moving contact can be driven to contact with the fixed contact.

Other structures and working principles of the idle opening mechanism which are not mentioned are similar to those of the related art, and are not described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 1, the leakage mechanism 100 includes a housing 110, a release 120, a button 130, a connecting rod 140, and an elastic arm 150; the housing 110 is assembled to the air opening mechanism; the release 120 is disposed on the housing 110; the button 130 is movably disposed on the housing 110 and can extend or retract relative to the housing 110; the connecting rod 140 is rotatably disposed on the housing 110, and the connecting rod 140 can abut against or separate from the button 130; the release 120 is in transmission fit with the connecting rod 140 and is used for driving the connecting rod 140 to be separated from the button 130; the connecting rod 140 can be in transmission fit with an air opening mechanism of the circuit breaker 010, and particularly, the connecting rod 140 can be in transmission fit with the linkage shaft 200; the elastic arm 150 is connected with the connecting rod 140, and the elastic arm 150 is abutted against the button 130; in case of leakage, the trip unit 120 drives the link 140 to rotate to separate from the button 130, and the elastic arm 150 can drive the button 130 to extend out of the housing 110.

Through the elastic arm 150 connected to the link 140, the button 130 can be extended out of the housing 110 in case of leakage current; when the leakage mechanism 100 is assembled, the assembly of the elastic arm 150 can be completed while the connecting rod 140 is assembled in place; therefore, the elastic arm 150 is connected to the connecting rod 140, so that the internal structure of the leakage mechanism 100 is simplified, the leakage mechanism 100 is easier to assemble, and the assembly and production efficiency can be improved.

Since the button 130 protrudes from the case 110 when the leakage occurs, the user can determine whether or not the leakage occurs by determining whether or not the button 130 protrudes from the case 110.

It should be noted that the elastic arm 150 has a number of bending portions, including but not limited to one, two, three, etc., and when the elastic arm 150 is pressed, it will deform itself through the bending portions and store force.

The leakage mechanism 100 further includes an elastic member, the elastic member is disposed on the housing 110, and the elastic member can be in transmission fit with the button 130 and the connecting rod 140; when the trip unit 120 drives the link 140 to rotate away from the button 130, the button 130 can extend relative to the housing 110 under the combined action of the spring and the spring arm 150, and the spring can drive the link 140 to trip the dry opening mechanism. With the arrangement, the button 130 can reliably extend out of the shell 110 under the condition of electric leakage, interference of the elastic piece caused by the fact that the button 130 cannot smoothly extend out of the shell 110 is avoided, the elastic piece can reliably drive the connecting rod 140 to trip the idle opening mechanism, and excellent electric leakage safety protection performance is ensured.

It should be noted that, during current leakage, the release 120 drives the link 140 to rotate, the link 140 is separated from the button 130, and the elastic element can drive the link 140 to trip the idle opening mechanism, specifically: when the release 120 drives the link 140 to separate from the button 130, the elastic element can further drive the link 140 to rotate continuously, that is, the link 140 can reliably drive the linkage shaft 200 under the driving of the elastic action of the elastic element, so as to ensure that the movable contact is reliably separated from the fixed contact, that is, the circuit breaker 010 reliably trips when electric leakage occurs.

In the embodiment, the elastic element continuously acts on the connecting rod 140 in the rear half of the rotation of the connecting rod 140 to rotate and drive the linkage shaft 200 to move so as to drive the moving contact to be separated from the static contact, instead of directly driving the connecting rod 140 to rotate through the tripper 120 and directly driving the connecting rod 140 to drive the idle opening mechanism to be unlocked under the action of the tripper 120, so that the thrust of the connecting rod 140 driven by the elastic element can be adjusted by adjusting the elastic force of the elastic element, so that the linkage shaft 200 is pushed by a larger thrust to separate the moving contact from the static contact, and only the elastic element with a larger elastic force needs to be replaced. In addition, the connecting rod 140 is driven by the elastic element to rotate continuously in the latter half of the rotation of the connecting rod to drive the linkage shaft 200 to separate the movable contact from the fixed contact so as to cut off the circuit, thereby reducing the requirements on the release 120 and ensuring the reliability of the release and cut-off circuit.

It should be noted that when no current leakage occurs, the button 130 retracts into the housing 110, and the button 130 is kept relatively stable, i.e. the state of retracting into the housing 110 is reliably maintained, under the combined action of the link 140, the elastic member and the elastic arm 150.

Referring to fig. 1, the elastic member of the present embodiment is a torsion spring 160, a first torsion arm 161 of the torsion spring 160 is connected to the housing 110, and a second torsion arm 162 of the torsion spring 160 can be engaged with the connecting rod 140. With such arrangement, when electric leakage occurs, the connecting rod 140 can be reliably driven by the torsion spring 160 to drive the linkage shaft 200 to move, so as to drive the moving contact to be separated from the fixed contact; in addition, the two torsion arms of the torsion spring 160 are low in manufacturing cost, and the reliability of the tripping force amplified by the elasticity of the torsion spring 160 is high.

In order to make the structure of the leakage mechanism 100 simple and easy to assemble, the housing 110 is connected with an assembly shaft 112, and the connecting rod 140 and the torsion spring 160 are both sleeved on the assembly shaft 112; of course, in other embodiments, only the torsion spring 160 and the connecting rod 140 need to be coaxially disposed, the torsion spring 160 may be sleeved on the connecting rod 140, and the connecting rod 140 is sleeved on the assembling shaft 112.

To ensure that the torsion spring 160 can be securely connected to the button 130; the button 130 is provided with a locking groove 134, and the second torsion arm 162 is locked with the locking groove 134.

In other embodiments, the second torque arm 162 and the button 130 may be connected by a fastener such as a screw, or welded, and the like, which is not limited in this respect.

It should be noted that when no leakage or leakage fault is eliminated, the button 130 retracts into the housing 110, and the second torsion arm 162 of the torsion spring 160 is engaged with the button 130 and is in clearance fit with the link 140, so as to improve the problem that the leakage mechanism 100 is easy to accidentally trip the idle opening mechanism.

Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element may also be a tension spring, and the like, and is not limited in this respect.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the link 140 includes a link body 141 and a first arm 142, the link body 141 is rotatably disposed on the housing 110, specifically, the link body 141 is rotatably sleeved on the assembly shaft 112, the elastic arm 150 and the first arm 142 are both connected to the link body 141, the elastic member can be in transmission fit with the first arm 142, so that the first arm 142 can drive the idle opening mechanism to trip under the action of the elastic member, specifically, under the condition of electric leakage, the release 120 pushes the link 140 to rotate to separate from the button 130, the elastic member is in transmission fit with the first arm 142, so that the link 140 continues to rotate, and the first arm 142 pushes the linkage shaft 200, so that the moving contact is separated from the stationary contact through the linkage shaft 200, and the idle opening mechanism trips. Through the cooperation of the elastic member and the first arm 142, when the link 140 is separated from the button 130, the link 140 can be reliably driven by the elastic member to continue rotating, and thus the tripping of the idling mechanism can be reliably driven.

Further, the connecting rod 140 further includes an abutting part 147, the abutting part 147 is connected to the first arm 142, and the elastic part can abut against the abutting part 147 to drive the first arm 142 to drive the trip mechanism; specifically, the second torsion arm 162 abuts against the abutting member 147. Through the arrangement of the abutting part 147, the reliable matching between the elastic part and the first arm 142 can be ensured, that is, the second torsion arm 162 can reliably match with the first arm 142 through the abutting part 147, so that when power leakage occurs, the first arm 142 can reliably push the linkage shaft 200 under the action of the torsion spring 160 to separate the movable contact from the fixed contact, and the assembly is simple and easy to operate.

The abutting member 147 may be an abutting column, an abutting block, or the like, and is not particularly limited herein.

In other embodiments, the second torsion arm 162 and the first arm 142 may also be inserted or welded, and the like, and are not limited herein.

Alternatively, the first arm 142 may be a bent arm, or a straight arm, which is not particularly limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the housing 110 is provided with an avoiding hole 111, the linkage shaft 200 penetrates through the avoiding hole 111, one end of the first arm 142 away from the connecting rod body 141 is provided with a first groove 145, and a groove wall of the first groove 145 can abut against the linkage shaft 200. By abutting the groove wall of the first groove 145 and the linkage shaft 200, the linkage shaft 200 can be reliably and stably driven to move until the movable contact and the static contact are separated when electric leakage occurs; and after the electric leakage fault is eliminated, the first arm 142 does not interfere with the resetting of the universal driving shaft 200, so as to ensure that the movable contact can be reliably reset to be in contact with the fixed contact.

Alternatively, the avoiding hole 111 may be a kidney-shaped hole, a rectangular hole, or the like, which is not particularly limited herein.

In a preferred embodiment, the avoiding hole 111 is a kidney-shaped hole, and the linkage shaft 200 coincides with the rotation axis of the connecting rod 140 at the motion center of the kidney-shaped hole.

It should be noted that, when the circuit breaker 010 trips due to electric leakage, the elastic element can enable the connecting rod 140 to reliably abut against the linkage shaft 200, so as to keep the moving contact and the fixed contact reliably separated from each other; if the button 130 extending out of the housing 110 is not pressed back to the retracted housing 110 first, the handle 210 in transmission fit with the movable contact cannot rotate to the switching-on position, that is, the handle 210 cannot directly rotate to the switching-on position to drive the movable contact to move to contact with the fixed contact, that is, when the button 130 is not retracted into the housing 110, under the elastic action of the elastic member, the connecting rod 140 reliably abuts against the linkage shaft 200, so that the relative position of the movable contact in transmission fit with the linkage shaft 200 is stable, and the handle 210 in transmission fit with the movable contact cannot rotate and cannot be switched on; only when the button 130 is pressed to the retracting case 110, the button 130 presses the elastic member, so that the elastic member no longer elastically abuts against the connecting rod 140, and the connecting rod 140 no longer obstructs the movement of the linkage shaft 200, at this time, the handle 210 can be rotated to the closing position, so that the handle 210 drives the moving contact to contact with the fixed contact, and the linkage shaft 200 that is not obstructed by the connecting rod 140 is reset. Thus, after the leakage tripping operation, the risk caused by the fact that the leakage fault is not released and the switch-on energization is mistakenly switched on can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the connecting rod 140 further includes a second arm 143, the second arm 143 is connected to the connecting rod body 141, the second arm 143 is provided with a second groove 146, and the button 130 can abut against a groove wall of the second groove 146. With the arrangement, when the circuit is normal and has no leakage fault, the connecting rod 140 can be reliably abutted to the button 130 through the second arm 143, the stability of the connecting rod 140 and the button 130 can be ensured, and the leakage mechanism 100 can be prevented from accidentally moving the linkage shaft 200 to separate the moving contact from the static contact.

Further, referring to fig. 3, the button 130 includes a button body 131 and an abutting portion 132, the abutting portion 132 is connected to the button body 131, the button body 131 is movably disposed on the housing 110, and the elastic arm 150 is in transmission fit with the button body 131; at least a portion of the abutment 132 can extend into the second slot 146 and abut a slot wall of the second slot 146. With this arrangement, the second arm 143 can be reliably brought into contact with the button 130, and the stability of the leakage mechanism 100 in the case where no leakage occurs can be ensured, thereby avoiding an accidental trip.

Still further, the abutting portion 132 is provided with a snap surface 135, and when no leakage fault occurs, at least a part of the abutting portion 132 extends into the second groove 146, and the groove wall of the second groove 146 is in snap contact with the snap surface 135, so that the link 140 and the button 130 can be kept in a relatively stable state.

Optionally, the button body 131 is connected with a clamping column 133, and one end of the button body 131 connected with the clamping column 133 is an abutting surface 136; the elastic arm 150 abuts against the abutting surface 136, and the engaging column 133 is provided with an engaging groove 134 engaged with the second torsion arm 162. With this arrangement, it can be ensured that both the resilient arm 150 and the resilient member are resiliently engaged with the button 130 reliably.

Of course, in other embodiments, button body 131 is provided with a slot 134 that engages with second torque arm 162.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the connecting rod 140 further includes a third arm 144, the third arm 144 is connected to the connecting rod body 141, and the release 120 is in transmission fit with the third arm 144; when leakage occurs, the tripper 120 pushes the third arm 144, so that the link body 141 rotates around the assembly shaft 112, and further drives the first arm 142, the second arm 143, and the elastic arm 150 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the button 130 is reliably separated from the second arm 143, and ensuring that the button 130 reliably extends out of the housing 110 under the action of the elastic arm 150 and the elastic member, and the first arm 142 can reliably drive the linkage shaft 200 to move under the action of the elastic member, thereby ensuring that the movable contact is reliably separated from the fixed contact, i.e., ensuring the reliability of leakage tripping.

The structure and the working principle of the trip device 120 are similar to those of the related art, please refer to fig. 4, which includes a coil 121, a spring 122, a bracket 123, a movable iron core 124, a stationary iron core 125 and a push rod 126, wherein the bracket 123 is disposed on the housing 110, the coil 121 is wound on the bracket 123, the movable iron core 124 and the push rod 126 are both movably disposed on the bracket 123, the push rod 126 can extend and retract relative to the bracket 123, and the push rod 126 is in transmission fit with the connecting rod 140; the static iron core 125 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 123, and the spring 122 is arranged between the top rod 126 and the static iron core 125 and used for enabling the top rod 126 to always have a movement tendency of retracting into the bracket 123; specifically, when electric leakage occurs, the coil 121 generates a magnetic field, the movable iron core 124 is close to the static iron core 125 and the ejector rod 126 extends out of the bracket 123, and the ejector rod 126 pushes the connecting rod 140 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 140 can drive the idle opening mechanism to trip; after tripping, the circuit is broken, the plunger 124 and ram 126 move under the action of the spring 122, and the ram 126 retracts into the bracket 123.

It should be noted that the button 130 may extend upward out of the housing 110, the top bar 126 of the trip unit 120 is configured to extend obliquely downward to drive the connecting rod 140 to rotate, and the direction in which the top bar 126 extends out of the bracket 123 forms an acute angle with the direction in which the button 130 extends out of the housing 110; therefore, the release 120 can reliably drive the connecting rod 140 to rotate to be separated from the button 130, and after the two are separated, the button 130 can continue to rotate to push the linkage shaft 200 to move under the action of the elastic element, so that the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact.
