[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent miniature circuit breaker with protective function, comprising a circuit breaker body, a plurality of threaded grooves being provided on the upper front side of the circuit breaker body, the threaded grooves being evenly distributed, a screw being provided in the inner cavity of the threaded grooves, a terminal being provided on the upper rear side of the circuit breaker body, the threaded grooves penetrating into the receiving groove of the terminal, a positioning cap being welded to the front end of the screw, an annular groove being provided on the outer side of the positioning cap, a through groove being provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the threaded grooves, a protective plate being provided on the upper end of the circuit breaker body, and a hinge seat being fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the circuit breaker body, the end of the protective plate near the through groove being rotatably connected to the hinge seat.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective plate can be placed over the terminal to protect it and prevent the idle terminal from being corroded by the external environment, which would affect the subsequent connection between the terminal and the wire. When it is necessary to connect the wire and the terminal, the screw can be used to press the wire and the terminal together to limit their connection. Then, the protective plate is pressed to the left to insert the retaining plate on the protective plate into the through slot and into the annular groove on the positioning cap, thereby limiting the position of the screw and preventing the screw from loosening under bumpy conditions, which could cause the terminal and the wire to become loose and have poor contact.

[0008] Optionally, the size of the card plate is adapted to the size of the annular groove, and the card plate is movably connected to the annular groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning cap can be limited by the cooperation between the card plate and the annular groove.

[0010] Optionally, the length of the protection plate is greater than the length of the terminal, and the protection plate corresponds one-to-one with the terminal.

[0012] Optionally, the screw is sized to match the thread groove, and the screw and the thread groove are helically connected.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw and the threaded groove can be used to limit the wires and terminals.

[0014] Optionally, the length of the through groove is greater than the diameter of the positioning cap, and both the protective plate and the card plate are made of insulating material.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, since the length of the through groove is greater than the diameter of the positioning cap, it is easier for the clamping plate to be inserted into the annular groove through the through groove. Moreover, both the protective plate and the clamping plate are made of insulating material, thus ensuring the safety of the staff.

[0016] Optionally, the size of the card plate is smaller than the size of the through slot, and the card plate is movably connected to the through slot.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the through groove is designed to facilitate the card plate to pass through the through groove, thereby limiting the positioning cap.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0019] The technical solution of this application, through the circuit breaker body, positioning cap, terminal, protection plate, locking plate, and annular groove, can both protect the terminal by covering it with the protection plate, thus preventing the idle terminal from being corroded by the external environment and affecting the subsequent connection between the terminal and the wire, and when it is necessary to connect the wire and the terminal, the screw can press the wire and the terminal together to limit the connection between the wire and the terminal. Then, pressing the protection plate to the left causes the locking plate on the protection plate to insert into the through groove, and the locking plate to lock into the annular groove on the positioning cap, thereby limiting the position of the screw and preventing the screw from loosening under bumpy conditions, which would cause the terminal and the wire to become loose and have poor contact.

[0025] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a technical solution: an intelligent miniature circuit breaker with protective function, including a circuit breaker body 1, a plurality of threaded grooves 11 are provided on the upper front side of the circuit breaker body 1, the threaded grooves 11 are evenly distributed, a screw 14 is provided in the inner cavity of the threaded grooves 11, a terminal 13 is provided on the upper rear side of the circuit breaker body 1, the threaded grooves 11 pass through the receiving groove of the terminal 13, a positioning cap 12 is welded to the front end of the screw 14, an annular groove 4 is provided on the outer side of the positioning cap 12, a through groove 3 is provided on the upper end of the inner wall of the threaded grooves 11, a protective plate 2 is provided on the upper end of the circuit breaker body 1, and a hinge seat 21 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the circuit breaker body 1, the end of the protective plate 2 near the through groove 3 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 21.

[0026] In this embodiment, the protective plate 2 can be placed over the terminal 13 to protect it and prevent it from being corroded by the external environment, thus affecting the connection between the terminal 13 and the wire. When it is necessary to connect the wire and the terminal 13, the screw 14 can be used to press the wire and the terminal 13 together to limit their connection. Then, the protective plate 2 is pressed to the left to insert the retaining plate 22 on the protective plate 2 into the through groove 3 and into the annular groove 4 on the positioning cap 12, thereby limiting the position of the screw 14 and preventing the screw 14 from loosening and causing poor contact between the terminal 13 and the wire under bumpy conditions.

[0027] Example 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an intelligent miniature circuit breaker with protective functions. The size of the card plate 22 is adapted to the size of the annular groove 4, and the card plate 22 is movably connected to the annular groove 4. The length of the protection plate 2 is greater than the length of the terminal 13, and the protection plate 2 and the terminal 13 correspond one-to-one. The size of the screw 14 is adapted to the size of the threaded groove 11, and the screw 14 and the threaded groove 11 are spirally connected. The length of the through groove 3 is greater than the diameter of the positioning cap 12. Both the protection plate 2 and the card plate 22 are made of insulating material. The size of the card plate 22 is smaller than the size of the through groove 3, and the card plate 22 is movably connected to the through groove 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the positioning cap 12 can be limited by the cooperation of the locking plate 22 and the annular groove 4. The protective plate 2 can cover and protect the top of the terminal 13. The screw 14 can be limited by the cooperation of the threaded groove 11. Since the length of the through groove 3 is greater than the diameter of the positioning cap 12, it is convenient for the locking plate 22 to be inserted into the annular groove 4 through the through groove 3. Moreover, both the protective plate 2 and the locking plate 22 are made of insulating material, which ensures the safety of the staff. The through groove 3 makes it convenient for the locking plate 22 to pass through the through groove 3, thereby limiting the positioning cap 12.

[0029] In use, first flip the protective plate 2 downwards, allowing it to rotate downwards along the hinge seat 21, thus covering the terminal 13 and protecting it from corrosion by the external environment, which could affect the subsequent connection between the terminal 13 and the wire. When it is necessary to connect the wire to the terminal 13, flip the protective plate 2 to the left to expose the terminal 13, then insert the wire into the terminal 13. Then rotate the screw 14, which moves to the right along the threaded groove 11, pressing the wire and terminal 13 together. Next, press the protective plate 2 to the left, causing the retaining plate 22 on the protective plate 2 to insert into the through groove 3 and engage with the annular groove 4 on the positioning cap 12, thus limiting the position of the screw 14 and preventing the screw 14 from loosening and causing poor contact between the terminal 13 and the wire during bumpy conditions.
