Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to a fault indicating mechanism of a small circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Miniature circuit breakers, also known as miniature circuit breakers, are suitable for overload and short-circuit protection of AC 50 / 60Hz rated voltage 230 / 400V and rated current not exceeding 125A lines. They can also be used for infrequent line operation conversion under normal circumstances. Miniature circuit breakers are mainly used in various places such as industry, commerce, high-rise and residential buildings. Existing miniature circuit breakers have a leakage indication function. When a fault occurs in the main circuit, the fault indicator changes color following the action of the operating mechanism, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the circuit. However, the fault indication mechanism of the existing miniature circuit breaker has a complex structural design, is relatively cumbersome to assemble, and has the defect of unreliable indication. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a fault indication mechanism for a miniature circuit breaker with simple structure, stable and reliable performance, convenient assembly and reliable indication.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts a fault indication mechanism of a small circuit breaker, including a shell, a handle rotatably arranged on the shell, a rocker arm arranged in the shell, a trip button rotatably arranged in the rocker arm, a re-clip rotatably arranged in the rocker arm and linked with the trip button, a lock button rotatably arranged on the rocker arm and locked with the re-clip, and a U-shaped connecting rod connected between the handle and the trip button. A fault indication plate is arranged at the corresponding trip button and re-clip on the shell, a toggle piece matched with the trip button and the re-clip is arranged on the fault indication plate, a toggle block matched with the toggle piece is arranged on the trip button, the toggle block moves with the trip button and contacts the toggle piece, and constitutes a linkage cooperation between the fault indication plate and the toggle block, and a push block matched with the toggle piece is arranged on the re-clip, the push block moves with the re-clip and contacts the toggle piece, and constitutes a linkage cooperation between the fault indication plate and the push block.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the above structure is that a trip indicator that cooperates with the trip button and the re-catch is arranged in the housing, and the trip button and the re-catch can drive the fault indicator plate respectively, so as to realize the working status indication of the fault indicator plate. During operation, the handle drives the trip button to move, and the trip button drives the re-catch to engage with the lock button, the lock button and the re-catch are locked, and the contact bracket is driven to perform the closing action, and the toggle block of the trip button drives the fault indicator plate to move, so as to realize the closing indication of the fault indicator plate. When a short circuit occurs in the line, the top rod of the tripper of the circuit breaker electromagnetic system pushes the lock button to move, the lock button and the re-catch are unlocked, and the push block of the re-catch pushes the fault indicator plate to move, and the fault indicator plate slides to the fault indication position, so as to realize the fault indication of the small circuit breaker. Therefore, the fault indication mechanism of the small circuit breaker has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, convenient assembly, and reliable indication.

[0006] In particular, one end of the toggle block is provided with an arcuate toggle surface that matches the toggle sheet, and the arcuate toggle surface moves with the toggle block and contacts the toggle sheet, and forms a linkage cooperation between the toggle sheet and the toggle block. The toggle block drives the toggle sheet through the arcuate toggle surface, which can avoid the toggle arcuate surface and the toggle sheet from getting stuck, and can ensure that the toggle block can reliably drive the fault indication plate to move, which is beneficial to improving the fault indication reliability of the fault indication mechanism.

[0007] In particular, an elastic card is provided on both sides of the fault indication plate, two positioning grooves matching with the elastic card are provided on both sides of the sliding groove of the housing, and the elastic card moves with the fault indication plate and reciprocates between the two positioning grooves. Two positioning grooves matching with the elastic card of the fault indication plate are provided in the housing, so that the fault indication plate can be reliably moved on the housing, which is beneficial to improving the fault indication reliability of the fault indication mechanism.

[0008] In particular, a limit groove is provided on the re-buckle corresponding to the jump buckle, and a driving part matched with the limit groove is provided on the jump buckle, and the driving part moves with the jump buckle and slides in the limit groove, and forms a linkage cooperation between the jump buckle and the re-buckle. The driving part of the jump buckle is slidably arranged in the limit groove of the re-buckle, so that the transmission of the jump buckle and the re-buckle can be ensured to be more reliable.

[0009] In particular, the re-buckle is provided with a buckling groove matched with the lock buckle, and the lock buckle is provided with a buckling protrusion matched with the buckling groove, and the buckling protrusion is engaged in the buckling groove, and constitutes a limit match between the re-buckle and the lock buckle. The buckling groove of the re-buckle is engaged with the buckling protrusion of the lock buckle, which can ensure that the re-buckle and the lock buckle can be reliably locked or unlocked. When a short circuit occurs in the line, the top rod of the tripper of the electromagnetic system of the circuit breaker pushes the lock buckle, the lock buckle is separated from the re-buckle, and the lock buckle and the re-buckle are unlocked, thereby realizing the rapid opening of the circuit breaker. When the line is overloaded, the bimetallic strip is deformed by heat, and the bimetallic strip moves the lock buckle through the pull rod, the lock buckle is separated from the re-buckle, and the lock buckle and the re-buckle are unlocked, thereby realizing the rapid opening of the circuit breaker.

A fault indication plate 17 is arranged on the housing 10 corresponding to the trip button 13 and the re-button 14. The fault indicator plate 17 is provided with a toggle piece 171 that matches the jump button 13 and the re-button 14. The jump button 13 is provided with a toggle block 131 that matches the toggle piece 171.
