AI Technical Summary
Due to space limitations, the test circuit of existing circuit breakers usually adopts a single breakpoint structure, which may cause ground voltage to appear when the circuit breaker is opened, increasing the risk of electric shock, and does not meet the requirements of safety regulations. The conduction and disconnection speed of the breakpoint are affected by the handle speed. If the handle is reset slowly, the breakpoint disconnection speed will be slow, which may cause the coil to heat and burn, affecting the reliability of the circuit breaker.
A circuit breaker design is adopted including a housing, a circuit breaker phase electrode and a leakage protection electrode. The leakage protection electrode includes a zero-sequence current transformer, a leakage operating mechanism and a leakage testing mechanism. The elastic member, a test button and a contact member form a double breakpoint test circuit. The neutral polar moving contact is connected to the operating mechanism through the midline driving member to ensure that the test button is pressed when the circuit breaker is opened and the test circuit does not conduct the test circuit, improving the reliability of the circuit breaker.
The test button is pressed when the circuit breaker is opened and the test circuit is not turned on, which improves the reliability of the circuit breaker. By optimizing the operating speed of the operating mechanism, especially when there is overload or leakage current in the line, the circuit breaker can be tripped faster, reducing the risk of coil heating and burning.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances, in particular to a circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] Due to the limitation of shell space, the test mechanism of the circuit breaker usually adopts a single breakpoint structure for the test circuit of the test mechanism. However, when the circuit breaker is opened, if the test button of the test mechanism is pressed, the output terminal of the circuit breaker will have a voltage to the ground due to the conduction of the test circuit, which may lead to the risk of electric shock during use. It also does not meet the safety regulations of specific areas and has certain limitations. Therefore, some circuit breakers change the test circuit of the test mechanism to a double breakpoint structure. One of the double breakpoints is controlled by a handle. The test circuit will be turned on only when the test button is pressed when the handle is closed. However, the turn-on and turn-off speeds of the breakpoints are affected by the closing and opening speeds of the handle. If the handle has a slow reset problem, the breakpoint disconnection speed will be slow. At this time, if the circuit breaker is reversed, pressing the test button will cause the test circuit to disconnect slowly, causing the coil of the circuit breaker to heat up and burn, resulting in circuit breaker failure, which seriously affects the reliability of the circuit breaker.

[0048] The leakage test mechanism 25 includes an elastic member 26, a test button 29, and a first contact member 27 and a second contact member 28 respectively connected to the main circuit of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker. One end of the elastic member 26 is provided with a first contact portion 261, and the other end of the elastic member 26 is provided with a second contact portion 262 that cooperates with the test button 29. When the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is closed, the leakage operating mechanism 22 or the phase pole operating mechanism 14 pushes the first contact portion 261 to contact the first contact member 27 through the neutral line driving member connected to the neutral pole moving contact 212. The test button 29 can push the second contact portion 262 to contact the second contact member 28.

[0051] Furthermore, the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker includes an electromagnetic tripping mechanism 12, a double metal tripping mechanism 13 and an arc extinguishing mechanism. The static contact 111 is fixed in the shell and connected with the electromagnetic tripping mechanism 12 and the terminal 15 at the left end through the main circuit conductive parts.

[0062] Furthermore, the first contact member 27 and the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220 are arranged on both sides of the elastic member 26, and the fourth contact arm 261d of the first contact portion 261 is V-shaped, one end of the fourth contact arm 261d is inclined toward the side close to the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220, and the other end of the fourth contact arm 261d is inclined toward the side close to the first contact member 27. The first contact portion 261 can effectively reduce the distance between the first contact portion 261 and the first contact member 27 and accelerate the speed of conducting the test circuit through the fourth contact arm 261d arranged in a V-shape, and the elasticity is also higher, which has the characteristics of fast reset speed and will not damage the first contact member 27 due to hard contact.
[0063] Furthermore, a bent contact arm 261f bent toward the first contact piece 27 is provided at the end of the fourth contact arm 261d, and the outer side of the bent contact arm 261f contacts and cooperates with the first contact piece 27, which can increase the contact area and ensure reliable contact.

The neutral pole moving contact 212 of this embodiment has the characteristics of small size, simple structure and easy processing and manufacturing, which can reduce the production cost and assembly difficulty.
[0065] Furthermore, the neutral pole moving contact 212 is V-shaped, the middle part of the neutral pole moving contact 212 protrudes toward the side close to the second contact piece 28, and an opening 217 is formed on the other side of the neutral pole moving contact 212 to avoid the first contact piece 27.

[0067] like Figure 10-16The second embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention is shown. The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned first embodiment is that the neutral line drive member is not connected between the leakage operating mechanism 22 and the neutral pole moving contact 212. The neutral line drive member of this embodiment is connected between the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker and the neutral pole moving contact 212. The neutral line drive member is driven by the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker. The neutral line drive member includes a protection drive rod 225 connected to the neutral pole moving contact 212 of the neutral line moving contact, and a shaft machine coupling drive rod 220 connected between the protection drive rod 225 and the leakage operating mechanism 22; the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the protection drive rod 225 of the neutral line drive member.
[0068] Specifically, the leakage protection pole 2 is arranged on one side of the circuit breaker phase pole 1, and the leakage protection pole 2 includes a zero-sequence current transformer 21, a leakage operating mechanism 22, a leakage release 23, a leakage testing mechanism 25, a protection circuit board and a neutral contact mechanism;
[0069] The circuit breaker phase pole 1 comprises a phase pole releaser, a phase pole operating mechanism 14 and a phase pole contact mechanism, and the phase pole releaser comprises an electromagnetic release mechanism 12 and / or a bimetal release mechanism 13;
[0070] The phase pole contact mechanism includes a static contact 111 and a moving contact 112 respectively connected to the phase line, and the neutral line contact mechanism includes a neutral pole moving contact 212 and a neutral pole static contact 211 respectively connected to the neutral line, and the neutral pole moving contact 212 is connected to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker through a protection drive rod 225;
[0071] The leakage test mechanism 25 includes a test button 29 and a leakage test circuit, the leakage test circuit includes an elastic member 26, a first contact member 27 and a second contact member 28, the elastic member 26 includes a first contact portion 261 and a second contact portion 262 connected to each other, the first contact portion 261 is arranged between the first contact member 27 and the protection driving rod 225, and the second contact portion 262 is arranged between the second contact member 28 and the test button 29;
[0072] When phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is closed, the phase pole operating mechanism 14 pushes the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 to contact the first contact member 27 through the protection driving rod 225, and when the test button 29 is pressed, the test button 29 pushes the second contact portion 262 of the elastic member 26 to contact the second contact member 28, and a circuit is formed between the first contact member 27 and the second contact member 28 through the elastic member 26, so that the leakage test circuit is turned on.
[0073] The zero-sequence current transformer 21 of the leakage protection pole 2 is sleeved on the neutral line and the leakage test circuit. When the leakage test circuit is turned on, it simulates the leakage current in the neutral line, so that the zero-sequence current transformer 21 senses the leakage current, and the zero-sequence current transformer 21 drives the leakage release 23 to unlock the leakage operating mechanism 22. At the same time, the leakage operating mechanism 22 drives the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker to unlock. When the phase pole operating mechanism 14 is unlocked, it drives the static contact 111 and the moving contact 112 to separate, disconnecting the connected phase line, and at the same time, the neutral pole moving contact 212 and the neutral pole static contact 211 are driven to separate through the protection drive rod 225 to disconnect the connected neutral line.
[0074] The first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 and the first contact member 27 form a first test contact of the leakage test circuit, and the second contact portion 262 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the second contact member 28 to form a second test contact of the leakage test circuit. The closing and opening of the second test contact is controlled by the test button 29;
[0075] After the circuit breaker is connected to the power supply, when the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is in the open state, the second test contact is in the disconnected state. At this time, the test button 29 is pressed. After the second test contact is closed, since the first test contact is in the disconnected state, the leakage test circuit cannot be turned on, and the load side of the circuit breaker cannot form a voltage to the ground or a voltage to the protection circuit board.
[0076] When the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first test contact is in the closed state. At this time, the test button 29 is pressed, the first test contact is closed and the leakage test circuit is turned on to simulate the leakage signal. The phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker trips, which indicates that the leakage protection function of the leakage protection pole 2 has not failed.
[0077] In the circuit breaker of this embodiment, the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 and the first contact member 27 form the first test contact of the leakage test circuit, and the second contact portion 262 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the second contact member 28 to form the second test contact of the leakage test circuit. The closing and opening of the second test contact are controlled by the test button 29, and the first test contact is controlled by the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, so that the closing and opening of the first test contact are synchronized with the closing and opening actions of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker. This can not only effectively avoid the single-contact leakage test circuit being turned on by pressing the test button 29 when the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is opened, resulting in the leakage test circuit generating a voltage to the ground or a voltage to the protection circuit board, but also has the characteristics of compact structure, small size and high reliability.
[0078] When the circuit breaker handle 31 rotates toward the closing position, the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the circuit breaker phase pole 1 drives the protection driving rod 225 through the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220 to push the first contact portion 261 to contact the first contact piece 27; when the circuit breaker handle 31 rotates toward the opening position, the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the circuit breaker phase pole 1 drives the protection driving rod 225 away from the first contact portion 261 through the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220.
[0079] In this embodiment, on the basis of the double breakpoint test circuit, the first contact portion 261 is driven by the protection drive rod 225 of the leakage operating mechanism 22 instead of the shaft machine coupling drive rod 220 of the leakage operating mechanism 22. The contact area between the protection drive rod 225 and the first contact portion 261 is larger, which not only makes the fit more reliable but also reduces the difficulty of assembly.
[0080] Referring to the first and second embodiments, the circuit breaker created by the present invention includes a circuit breaker phase pole 1 ( Figure 1 )、Leakage protection electrode 2( Figure 2 )、Leakage test mechanism 25( Figure 3 ), and operating mechanisms respectively cooperating with the phase pole 1 and the leakage protection pole 2 of the circuit breaker, the phase pole 1 and the leakage protection pole 2 of the circuit breaker respectively comprising a phase pole contact mechanism and a neutral line contact mechanism connected to the line;
[0081] When the circuit breaker is closed, the operating mechanism drives the phase contact mechanism and the neutral contact mechanism to conduct the line. When the line fails, the operating mechanism is unlocked and drives the phase contact mechanism and the neutral contact mechanism to disconnect the line.
[0082] The leakage test mechanism 25 includes a test button 29 and a leakage test circuit. The leakage test circuit includes a second test contact that cooperates with the test button 29, and a first test contact that cooperates with the operating mechanism. The test button 29 can drive the second test contact to close and separate. The operating mechanism drives the phase contact mechanism and the neutral contact mechanism to conduct and disconnect the circuit, and can drive the first test contact to close and separate. When the first test contact and the second test contact are both closed, the leakage test circuit is turned on and generates a leakage fault test signal to unlock the operating mechanism. When either the first test contact or the second test contact is separated, the leakage test circuit is disconnected.
[0083] In the circuit breaker created by the present invention, the first test contact and the second test contact of the leakage test circuit are controlled by the operating mechanism and the test button 29 respectively. The leakage test circuit will be turned on only when the first test contact and the second test contact are both closed. When either the first test contact or the second test contact is disconnected, the leakage test circuit will not be turned on, and the load side of the circuit breaker will not be able to form a voltage to the ground or a voltage to the circuit board, so the load and the circuit board can be reliably protected.
[0084] The circuit includes a phase line and a neutral line, the phase pole contact mechanism is connected to the phase line, and the neutral line contact mechanism is connected to the neutral line, the operating mechanism includes a phase pole operating mechanism 14 that cooperates with the phase pole contact mechanism, and a leakage operating mechanism 22 that is arranged on one side of the phase pole operating mechanism 14 and cooperates with the neutral line contact mechanism, and the phase pole operating mechanism 14 and the leakage operating mechanism 22 cooperate with each other;
[0085] When the circuit breaker is closed, the phase pole operating mechanism 14 and the leakage operating mechanism 22 are locked in the energy storage state respectively, and the phase pole contact mechanism is driven by the phase pole operating mechanism 14 to conduct the phase line, and the neutral line contact mechanism is driven by the leakage operating mechanism 22 to conduct the neutral line. The phase pole operating mechanism 14 or the leakage operating mechanism 22 corresponding to the line is unlocked and drives the other to unlock as well, so that the phase pole contact mechanism and the neutral line contact mechanism disconnect the phase line and the neutral line respectively.
[0086] The first test contact of the leakage test circuit cooperating with the operating mechanism can be controlled by the leakage operating mechanism 22 of the operating mechanism, or by the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the operating mechanism.
[0087] The phase pole contact mechanism is connected to the phase pole operating mechanism 14, and the neutral line contact mechanism is connected to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 or the leakage operating mechanism 22 through the neutral line driving member, and the neutral line driving member drives the first test contact to close and separate.
[0088] The first test contact is controlled by the leakage operating mechanism 22. The first test is the first embodiment of the circuit breaker created by the present invention. The neutral contact mechanism is connected to the leakage operating mechanism 22 through the neutral driving member, and the first test contact cooperates with the neutral driving member. The neutral driving member includes a protection driving rod 225 and a shaft machine coupling driving rod 220. One end of the protection driving rod 225 is connected to the neutral pole moving contact 212, and the other end of the protection driving rod 225 is hinged to the leakage operating mechanism 22 through the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220; the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220, and the shaft machine coupling driving rod 220 pushes the first contact portion 261 to contact the first contact member 27, and the neutral pole moving contact 212 is connected to one end of the reset spring 227, and the other end of the reset spring 227 is connected to the housing.
[0089] The first test contact is controlled by the phase pole operating mechanism 14. The first test is the second embodiment of the circuit breaker created by the present invention. The neutral line contact mechanism is connected to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 through the neutral line drive member, and the first test contact cooperates with the neutral line drive member. The neutral line drive member includes a protection drive rod 225 and a shaft machine coupling drive rod 220. One end of the protection drive rod 225 is connected to the neutral pole moving contact 212. The protection drive rod 225 is hinged to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 through the shaft machine coupling drive rod 220; the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the protection drive rod 225, and the protection drive rod 225 pushes the first contact portion 261 to contact the first contact member 27. The neutral pole moving contact 212 is connected to one end of the reset spring 227, and the other end of the reset spring 227 is connected to the housing.
[0090] The two embodiments of the circuit breaker of the present invention both have the following characteristics:
[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, the leakage test mechanism 25 includes a first contact member 27 and a second contact member 28, the elastic member 26 is a torsion spring, and the elastic member 26 includes a spiral portion 263 connected between the first contact portion 261 and the second contact portion 262, the spiral portion 263 is sleeved on the spring shaft 260 and connected to the shell, the first contact portion 261 is arranged between the center line driving member and the first contact member 27, and forms a first test contact with the first contact member 27, the second contact portion 262 is arranged between the second contact member 28 and the test button 29, and forms a second test contact with the second contact member 28.
[0092] In the circuit breaker created by the present invention, the first contact portion 261 and the second contact portion 262 on the elastic member 26 respectively constitute the first test contact and the second test contact of the leakage test circuit, which can not only ensure the reliability of the leakage test circuit, but also improve the action speed of the operating mechanism through the cooperation between the first contact portion 261 and the operating mechanism.
[0093] Fig.17 Shows the leakage test circuit when the circuit breaker is connected in the positive direction. Fig.18The leakage test circuit when the circuit breaker is reversely wired is shown; one end of the leakage test circuit is connected to the phase line connected to the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, and the other end of the leakage test circuit is connected to the neutral line connected to the leakage protection pole 2. Specifically, the leakage test circuit also includes a test resistor 251 and a reset spring 227. The first contact 27 is connected to the phase line of the circuit breaker phase pole 1 through the test resistor 251, one end of the reset spring 227 is connected to the neutral line with the neutral line contact mechanism, and the other end of the reset spring 227 is rotatably mounted on the second contact 28. When the first test contact and the second test contact are both closed, the leakage test circuit is turned on between the phase line and the neutral line to generate a leakage fault test signal, which can not only form a leakage test circuit with the neutral line contact mechanism and the first contact 27, but also the reset spring 227 can increase the contact pressure of the neutral line contact mechanism. Of course, the leakage test circuit can also use other schemes to simulate the generation of leakage current, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0094] like Figure 1 , 12 As shown, the operating mechanism is connected to the circuit breaker handle 31, and the circuit breaker handle 31 includes a phase pole handle 31a and a leakage protection handle 31b. The phase pole handle 31a is connected to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, and the leakage protection handle 31b is connected to the leakage operating mechanism 22 of the leakage protection pole 2. A push block 31c is provided on the leakage protection handle 31b, and the push block 31c extends to the side where the phase pole handle 31a rotates in the closing direction. When the leakage protection handle 31b rotates in the opening direction due to leakage current, the push block 31c is used to push the phase pole handle 31a to the closing direction. Pushing the phase pole handle 31a to rotate in the opening direction can speed up the operation speed of the circuit breaker; when an overload or short-circuit current occurs, the phase pole handle 31a rotates in the opening direction, but the leakage protection handle 31b does not operate. The position of the phase pole handle 31a and the leakage protection handle 31b can indicate the cause of the fault. If both the phase pole handle 31a and the leakage protection handle 31b operate, it means that the cause of the fault is overload or short-circuit current; if the phase pole handle 31a operates and the leakage protection handle 31b does not operate, it means that the cause of the fault is leakage current.
[0095] In the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the neutral line contact mechanism is connected to the leakage operating mechanism 22 of the operating mechanism through the neutral line driving member, and the neutral line driving member includes a protection driving rod 225 connected to the neutral line moving contact, and an axis-machine coupling driving rod 220 connected between the protection driving rod 225 and the leakage operating mechanism 22; the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 cooperates with the protection driving rod 225 or the axis-machine coupling driving rod 220 of the neutral line driving member.
[0096] See also Fig.17As shown, in the leakage test circuit when the circuit breaker is connected in the positive direction, the current flows into the terminal 15 at the right end of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, passes through the moving contact 112 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, the static contact 111 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, the zero-sequence current transformer 21 of the leakage protection pole 2, the terminal 15 at the left end of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, the test resistor 251, the first contact piece 27, the second test contact, the first test contact, the elastic piece 26, the reset spring 227, and the neutral pole moving contact 212 to the terminal 15 at the right end of the leakage protection pole 2.
[0097] See also Fig.18 As shown, in the test circuit when the circuit breaker is reversely connected, the current flows into the terminal 15 at the left end of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker, passes through the test resistor 251, the first contact piece 27, the elastic piece 26, the first test contact, the second test contact, the reset spring 227, the neutral pole moving contact 212, the neutral pole static contact 211, and the zero-sequence current transformer 21 to the terminal 15 at the left end of the leakage protection pole 2.
[0098] like Figure 10-11 As shown in the figure, the structure of the elastic member 26 of this embodiment. The structure of the elastic member 26 of this embodiment is the same as that of the elastic member 26 in the first embodiment, but the difference is that the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26 of the protection drive rod 225 of this embodiment cooperates with the protection drive rod 225. That is, the first contact member 27 and the protection drive rod 225 are arranged on both sides of the elastic member 26 opposite to each other, and the fourth contact arm 261d of the first contact portion 261 is V-shaped, and one end of the fourth contact arm 261d is inclined toward the side close to the protection drive rod 225.
[0099] Specifically, the elastic member 26 is a torsion spring, and the elastic member 26 includes a spiral portion 263 connected between the first contact portion 261 and the second contact portion 262. The spiral portion 263 is sleeved on the spring shaft 260 and connected to the shell. The first contact portion 261 and the second contact portion 262 are both arranged perpendicular to the axis of the spiral portion 263. The first contact portion 261 extends between the protection drive rod 225 and the first contact member 27, and the second contact portion 262 extends between the test button 29 and the second contact member 28.
[0100] Furthermore, the spiral portion 263 is arranged on a side close to the test button 29, and the first contact portion 261 is a U-shaped structure. The first contact portion 261 includes a first contact arm 261a and a third contact arm 261c that are relatively arranged, and a second contact arm 261b vertically connected between one end of the first contact arm 261a and the third contact arm 261c. The second contact arm 261b is arranged parallel to the axis of the spiral portion 263, and the second contact arm 261b extends away from one end of the first contact arm 261a toward the swing plane of the protection drive rod 225. The other end of the first contact arm 261a is connected to the spiral portion 263, and the third contact arm 261c extends between the protection drive rod 225 and the second contact piece 28, and the third contact arm 261c and the protection drive rod 225 are arranged in the same plane.
[0101] Furthermore, the other end of the third contact arm 261c away from the second contact arm 261b is connected to the fourth contact arm 261d with a V-shaped structure, and the fourth contact arm 261d extends between the protection drive rod 225 and the second contact piece 28. The side of the fourth contact arm 261d connected to the second contact arm 261b is inclined toward the direction close to the protection drive rod 225, and the side of the other side of the fourth contact arm 261d is inclined toward the direction close to the first contact piece 27 to cooperate with the first contact piece 27. A bent portion that cooperates with the protection drive rod 225 is formed at the connection between the two side edges of the fourth contact arm 261d. The protection drive rod 225 pushes the bent portion of the fourth contact arm 261d to make the end of the fourth contact arm 261d away from the second contact arm 261b contact with the first contact piece 27, thereby realizing the closure of the second test contact. The V-shaped fourth contact arm 261d can not only optimize the layout of parts and ensure a reliable and safe electrical distance between the first contact member 27 and other parts, but also reduce the distance between the first contact portion 261 and the protection drive rod 225, thereby facilitating the protection drive rod 225 to drive the first contact portion 261 to move and ensure the sensitivity of the elastic member 26.
[0102] Furthermore, a bent contact arm 261f is provided at one end of the fourth contact arm 261d that cooperates with the first contact member 27. The bent contact arm 261f is bent toward a side away from the first contact member 27, and an arc surface that cooperates with the first contact member 27 is formed on the outer side of the bent contact arm 261f. The fourth contact arm 261d contacts the first contact member 27 through the arc surface formed on the bent contact arm 261f, and the contact area is larger, and the contact is more reliable.
[0103] like Fig.15As shown, a partition 32 is provided between the phase pole 1 and the leakage protection pole 2 of the circuit breaker, and a spring shaft 260 for mounting the spiral portion 263 of the elastic member 26 is provided on the partition 32. A button guide plate 294 is provided on one side of the spring shaft 260 of the partition 32 to match with one side of the test button 29, and a spring stop groove 261e is provided on the other side of the button guide plate 294 to match with the first contact portion 261 of the elastic member 26. The spiral portion 263 can be rotatably sleeved on the spring shaft 260, and the first contact arm 261a, the second contact arm 261b and the third contact arm 261c of the first contact portion 261 are inserted into the spring stop groove 261e for stop matching. Preferably, the third contact arm 261c is connected to the fourth contact portion 261d after extending to the outside of the spring stop groove 261e, which has the characteristic of simple assembly.
[0104] See also Fig.15 As shown, a triangular moving contact guide groove 213 is provided in the middle of the neutral pole moving contact 212, a moving contact guide column 214 is provided in the housing and is inserted into the moving contact guide groove 213 and matched with the moving contact guide groove 213, a rotatable moving contact stopper 219 is provided on the contact guide column 214, and the neutral pole moving contact 212 is provided with a protective drive rod shaft hole and a neutral pole moving contact 215 on both sides of the moving contact guide groove 213, and one end of the protective drive rod shaft hole and the moving contact stopper 219 is provided. They are respectively rotatably sleeved on one end of the contact driving rod 2254, the other end of the contact driving rod 2254 is rotatably connected to the protection driving rod 225, the other end of the moving contact limiter 219 is limitedly matched with the side of the neutral pole moving contact 212 away from the neutral pole static contact 211, one end of the reset spring 227 is sleeved on the side wall of one side of the guide groove 213 and is rotatably connected to the neutral pole moving contact 212, and the neutral pole moving contact 215 is in contact with the neutral pole static contact 216 on the neutral pole static contact 211.
[0105] When the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is actuated, the protection driving rod 225 drives the neutral pole moving contact 212 and the moving contact stopper 219 sleeved on the other end of the contact driving rod 2254 to actuate through the contact driving rod 2254, so that the triangular moving contact guide groove 213 of the neutral pole moving contact 212 is sleeved on the contact guide column 214 and swings, and at the same time, the moving contact stopper 219 rotates with the contact guide column 214 as the center of the circle and limits the swing of the neutral pole moving contact 212. The neutral pole moving contact 212 of this embodiment has the characteristics of small size, simple structure and easy processing and manufacturing, which can reduce the production cost and assembly difficulty.
[0106] See also Figure 12-14As shown, the structure of the protection drive rod 225 of this embodiment is the same as the structure of the protection drive rod 225 in the first embodiment. One end of the protection drive rod 225 is hinged to the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker through the shaft machine coupling drive rod 220, and the other end of the protection drive rod 225 is hinged to the neutral pole moving contact 212 through the contact drive rod 2254. When the phase pole operating mechanism 14 of the phase pole 1 of the circuit breaker is actuated, the neutral pole moving contact 212 is driven to actuate through the protection drive rod 225.
[0107] like Fig.14 As shown, the partition 32 is provided with a stop block 2250 for limiting the protection driving rod 225 , and the stop block 2250 cooperates with one end of the protection driving rod 225 close to the neutral pole moving contact 212 , and the stop block 2250 prevents the protection driving rod 225 from reaching a dead point.
[0108] like Figure 4 The structure of the leakage operating mechanism 22 in this embodiment is shown.
