[0002] In the communications industry, a standard cabinet is a 1U working unit, and its height is about 44.45mm. With the rapid development of communications technology, the components inside the cabinet need to be continuously miniaturized to meet the installation size requirements of the 1U unit, so as to increase the density of components inside the cabinet and save the overall volume of communication equipment.

[0003] The height of existing ordinary small circuit breakers is usually between 80mm and 90mm.

When the operation button 1d is pressed / pulled, the indicator track groove drives the indicator 7 to move as a whole in the indicator slot through the indicator track shaft 75, so that the closing indication surface 70 / opening indication surface 71 is arranged opposite to the indication hole 12d.

[0070] The plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention has an indicator 7 inserted in an indicator slot provided in the operating button 1d, which occupies less space and is conducive to the miniaturized design of the circuit breaker. The closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 of the indicator 7 can be respectively arranged opposite to the indication hole 12d. The user can visually observe through the indication hole 12d and quickly determine the opening / closing state of the circuit breaker. Moreover, the indicator moves as a whole in the indicator slot to realize the switching of the closing indication surface and the opening indication surface displayed in the indication hole. The movement of the indicator is more accurate and the error is small, so that the closing indication surface or the opening indication surface completely fills the indication hole, avoiding the situation where the closing indication surface and the opening indication surface are displayed in the indication hole at the same time, resulting in the user's misjudgment, which is conducive to improving the user's electricity safety. The indicator slide groove 100d cooperates with the indicator slide 72 to limit the moving path of the indicator 7 and ensure the reliability of the indication result.

The first end of the track groove is closer to the outer end of the button of the operation button 1d than the second end of the track groove.

[0107] It should be pointed out that the closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 can be in different colors, for example, the closing indication surface is green and the opening indication surface is red; or, the closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 have different text or symbol logos, for example, the closing indication surface 70 has the word "closed" or the symbol "|", and the opening indication surface 71 has the word "open" or the symbol "○"; of course, the implementation forms of the two are not limited to the above two, as long as the closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 can be effectively distinguished, so as to correctly indicate the closing and opening states of the plug-in circuit breaker.

[0108] Specifically, Fig.10 and 11 As shown, the upper end of the operating button 1d is the outer end of the button, and the lower end is the inner end of the button. The end surface of the outer end of the button is provided with an indication hole 12d, and the indication hole 12d is connected to the upper end of the indicator slot; the closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 are arranged side by side at the upper end of the indicator 7, two indicator slides 72 are arranged on both sides of the middle of the indicator 7, and the indicator track shaft 75 is arranged at the lower end of the indicator 7. Fig.10As shown, the indicator track groove is formed by two inclined half grooves that cooperate with each other. One inclined half groove is set on the rear cover 1a, which is the first half groove 10a, and the other inclined half groove is set on the base 1b, which is the second half groove 10b; the upper right end of the indicator track groove is the first end of the track groove, and the lower left end is the second end of the track groove. When the plug-in circuit breaker is opened, the indicator track shaft 75 is located at the first end of the track groove, and when the plug-in circuit breaker is closed, the indicator track shaft 75 is located at the second end of the track groove; as shown Fig.10 As shown, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the open state, when the operating button 1d is pressed down (that is, the operating button 1d moves in the closing direction), since the operating button 1d moves in a straight line and the indicator track groove is tilted from the upper right to the lower left, the indicator track groove will drive the indicator 7 to move horizontally (that is, the overall movement of the indicator 7 in the indicator slot) through the indicator track shaft 75, thereby switching from the opening indication surface 71 being arranged relative to the indication hole 12d to the closing indication surface 70 being arranged relative to the indication hole 12d; when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the closed state, when the operating button 1d is pulled upward, the indicator 7 undergoes the above-mentioned reverse process.

[0109] Preferably, Figure 10-18 As shown, the plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention also includes a locking mechanism, which includes a second locking member 8 pivotally arranged in the middle, and the second locking member 8 includes a locking member upper end and a locking member lower end respectively arranged at both ends thereof, and the locking member lower end is provided with a second protrusion 82; when the plug-in circuit breaker is in a closed state, the operating button 1d drives the second locking member 8 to rotate through the locking member lower end, so that the second protrusion 82 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing; when the plug-in circuit breaker is in an open state, the operating button 1d drives the second locking member 8 to rotate through the locking member upper end, so that the second protrusion 82 moves into the circuit breaker housing. Further, as Fig.11 , 12 As shown in , 18, the indicator 7 also includes an indicator horizontal arm 74 disposed at one end thereof; the second locking member 8 also includes a second locking member actuated portion 81 disposed at the upper end of the locking member, and the operating button 1d drives and cooperates with the second locking member actuated portion 81 through the indicator horizontal arm 74 to drive the second locking member 8 to rotate, so that the second protrusion 82 moves into the circuit breaker housing. Further, as Fig.11 , 12 As shown in Figures 17, the second locking member 8 also includes a second locking member actuated protrusion 83 arranged at the lower end of the locking member, and the second locking member actuated protrusion 83 and the second protrusion 82 protrude in the opposite direction; when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the closed state, the indicator horizontal arm 74 is located on one side of the second locking member actuated protrusion 83 and cooperates with its limiting position, so that the second protrusion 82 remains protruding outside the circuit breaker housing.

[0110] Specifically, Fig.18In the direction shown, the indicator horizontal arm 74 is arranged at the lower end of the indicator 7 and connected to it at a right angle and protrudes to the left, the second locking member actuated portion 81 is arranged at the upper end of the second locking member 8 and connected to it at a right angle and protrudes to the right, and the second protrusion 82 ( Fig.18 The second protrusion 82 is blocked by the first locking member 9) and the second locking member actuated protrusion 83 are both arranged at the lower end of the second locking member 8, protruding to the left and right sides of the second locking member 8 respectively, and the indicator horizontal arm 74 is located at the lower side of the second locking member actuated portion 81 to drive and cooperate with it. Fig.18 As shown, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the off state, the operating button 1d drives the second locking member 8 to rotate counterclockwise through the cooperation of the indicator horizontal arm 74 and the second locking member actuated portion 81, so that the second protrusion 82 moves into the circuit breaker housing; Fig.17 In the direction shown, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the closed state, the operating button 1d moves downward, and the second locking member actuated protrusion 83 is pressed by the indicator horizontal arm 74, so that the second locking member 8 rotates counterclockwise, and the second protrusion 82 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing. Since the indicator horizontal arm 74 is located on the left side of the second locking member actuated protrusion 83 and cooperates with its limit position, the second protrusion 82 is kept protruding outside the circuit breaker housing.

[0111] In the plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention, when in the closed state, the indicator horizontal arm 74 of the indicator 7 keeps the second protrusion 82 of the second locking member 8 protruding outside the circuit breaker housing, thereby preventing the circuit breaker from being installed in the closed state and causing electric shock, which is beneficial to improving the user's electricity safety.

[0112] It should be pointed out that the driving of the second locking member 8 is not limited to being driven by the indicator horizontal arm 74 , and a structure similar to the indicator horizontal arm 74 may also be provided at the lower end of the operation button 1d to drive the second locking member 8 .

[0113] Preferably, Figure 10-11 As shown in , 14-15, and 16-18, the locking mechanism also includes a first locking piece 9, one end of which is slidably arranged in the circuit breaker housing, and the other end is a first protrusion 90 protruding from the outside of the circuit breaker housing; when the plug-in circuit breaker is assembled to the cavity-type circuit breaker assembly position, the housing of the circuit breaker assembly position squeezes the first protrusion 90, so that the first locking piece 9 moves as a whole toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing, and after the plug-in circuit breaker is assembled in place, the first protrusion 90 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing and cooperates with the housing limit of the circuit breaker assembly position.

[0114] The first locking member 9 of the plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention cooperates with the housing limit of the circuit breaker assembly position after the plug-in circuit breaker is assembled to the cavity-type circuit breaker assembly position and is assembled in place, thereby ensuring the reliability of the assembly of the plug-in circuit breaker and preventing the plug-in circuit breaker from being accidentally pulled out in the closed state, thereby improving the safety of electricity use.

[0115] Preferably, Figure 16-18 As shown, the lower end of the second locking member 8 is driven to cooperate with the first locking member 9; when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the off state, the operating button 1d is pulled out, and the operating button 1d drives the first locking member 9 to move as a whole into the circuit breaker housing through the second locking member 8, so that the first protrusion 90 releases the limit cooperation with the housing of the circuit breaker assembly position. Figure 14-18 As shown, the first sliding end 90a also includes a first actuated protrusion 91 and a second actuated protrusion 94; the second locking member 8 also includes a second locking member body 84 pivotally arranged in the middle, the second locking member actuated portion 81 of the second locking member 8 is connected to one end of the second locking member body 84 by a bend, and the other end of the second locking member body 84 is provided with a second protrusion 82 and the end is driven to cooperate with the second actuated protrusion 94, the second locking member actuated portion 81 and the second protrusion 82 protrude to both sides of the second locking member body 84 respectively, and the second protrusion 82 is driven to cooperate with the first actuated protrusion 91.

[0116] It should be pointed out that the first locking member 9 can omit the first actuated protrusion 91 or the second actuated protrusion 94 and retain either one of them to cooperate with the second locking member 8. Of course, this improvement will reduce the stability and reliability of the action of the first locking member 9.

The first locking member reset spring 9a provides a force to the first locking member 9 so that the first protrusion 90 remains protruding outside the circuit breaker housing.

[0118] Specifically, Fig.16 and 17 In the direction shown, the upper end of the second locking member driving portion 84 is connected to the second locking member actuated portion 81 by bending (connected at a right angle or approximately at a right angle), the second protrusion 82 is arranged at one side edge of the lower end of the second locking member body 84, and the lower end of the second locking member driving portion 84 and the second protrusion 82 are respectively arranged on the right side of the second actuated protrusion 94 and the first actuated protrusion 91; Fig.16As shown, the plug-in circuit breaker is in the off state, and the operating button 1d is pulled upward. The operating button 1d drives the second locking member 8 to rotate clockwise through the cooperation of the indicator horizontal arm 74 of the indicator 7 and the second locking member actuated portion 81. Then, the lower end of the second locking member driving portion 84 drives the first locking member 9 to move leftward (into the circuit breaker housing) through the second actuated protrusion 94 and the second protrusion 82 through the first actuated protrusion 91, so that the first protrusion 90 of the first locking member 9 releases the limit cooperation with the housing of the circuit breaker assembly position.

[0119] Preferably, Fig.10 As shown, the circuit breaker housing is provided with a first opening 11a which cooperates with the first protrusion 90 and the second protrusion 82.

[0125] Preferably, Figure 10-13 As shown in , 17-18, the indicator 7 includes an indicator body 7-0, an indicator horizontal arm 74, an indicator track shaft 75, an indicator slide 72, a closing indicator surface 70 and an opening indicator surface 71; the indicator horizontal arm 71 is arranged at one end of the indicator body 7-0 and is connected to the indicator body 7-0 by bending, the closing indicator surface 70 and the opening indicator surface 71 are arranged side by side at the other end of the indicator body 7-0, and two indicator slides 72 are respectively arranged in the middle of both sides of the indicator body 7-0. Further, as Fig.12 As shown, the indicator 7 also includes an indicator vertical arm 73. The indicator vertical arm 73 and the indicator horizontal arm 74 are arranged at the same end of the indicator body 70. The two form an L-shaped structure as a whole. The indicator vertical arm 73 is conducive to improving the structural strength of the indicator horizontal arm 74.

[0126] Specifically, Fig.12 and 13 In the direction shown, the closing indication surface 70 and the opening indication surface 71 are arranged side by side on the upper end surface of the indicator body 7-0, the indicator track shaft 75, the indicator horizontal arm 71, and the indicator vertical wall 73 are all arranged at the lower end of the indicator body 7-0, the indicator horizontal arm 71 and the indicator vertical wall 73 are arranged on the same side of the indicator body 7-0, and the whole forms an L-shaped structure, the indicator track shaft 75 is arranged on the other side of the indicator body 7-0, and the two indicator slides 72 are arranged on both sides of the middle part of the indicator body 7-0, and are both located between the opening indication surface 71 and the indicator horizontal arm 71.

[0127] like Fig.10 As shown, the circuit breaker housing is provided with an indicator track groove that cooperates with the indicator track shaft 75, and the indicator track groove is inclined. The indicator track groove is an inclined track groove, and its upper right end is inclined toward the lower left end. Fig.10As shown, the indicator track groove includes a first vertical groove, an inclined groove and a second vertical groove, the lower end of the first vertical groove is connected to the upper right end of the inclined groove, the upper end of the second vertical groove is connected to the lower left end of the inclined groove, and the lower end of the first vertical groove is higher than the upper end of the second vertical groove.

[0128] Preferably, Fig.10 As shown, the operation button 1d includes a button body 10d and a button cap disposed at one end of the button body 10d, an indication hole 12d is disposed in the middle of the button cap, an indication member slot is disposed in the middle of the other end of the button body 10d, and an indication member slot 100d is disposed on each of the two side walls of the indication member slot. Fig.10 As shown, the operation button 1d further includes a button connecting platform 11d, and the button connecting platform 11d is rotatably connected to one end of the U-shaped connecting rod 35.

[0129] Combination Figure 16-18 As shown, the working principle of the locking mechanism will be described below:

[0130] like Fig.16 As shown, the plug-in circuit breaker is in the off state, and the operation button 1d cooperates with the indicator horizontal arm 74 of the indicator 7 and the second locking member actuated portion 81 of the second locking member 8 to drive the second locking member 8 to rotate clockwise, and the second protrusion 82 of the second locking member 8 moves into the circuit breaker housing. In this state (off state), the plug-in circuit breaker can be installed in the circuit breaker assembly position (such as a cabinet); Fig.18 As shown in the figure, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the off state, the operating button 1d is continuously pulled out, and the operating button 1d drives the second locking member 8 to continue to rotate clockwise through the cooperation of the indicator horizontal arm 74 of the indicator 7 and the second locking member actuated portion 81 of the second locking member 8, and the lower end of the second locking member body 84 of the second locking member 8 and the second protrusion 82 drive the second actuated protrusion 94 and the first actuated protrusion 91 respectively, so that the first protrusion 90 of the first locking member 9 moves into the circuit breaker housing, thereby releasing the limit cooperation between the plug-in circuit breaker and the housing of the circuit breaker assembly position, so that the plug-in circuit breaker can be removed from the circuit breaker assembly position; as shown in the figure, Fig.17As shown, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the closed state, the operation button 1d drives the indicator horizontal arm 74 to move downward, and the indicator horizontal arm 74 drives the second locking member 8 to rotate counterclockwise through the second locking member actuated protrusion 83, so that the second protrusion 82 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing. In this state (closed state), the second protrusion 82 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing. Due to the limitation of the indicator horizontal arm 74 on the second locking member actuated protrusion 83, the second protrusion 82 cannot be squeezed into the circuit breaker housing. Therefore, when the plug-in circuit breaker is in the closed state, it cannot be assembled to the circuit breaker assembly position; when the plug-in circuit breaker is switched between the open state and the closed state, due to the indicator With the cooperation of the track shaft 75 and the indicator track groove, the indicator 7 will also reciprocate in the indicator slot of the operating button 1d, so that when the plug-in circuit breaker is closed, the closing indication surface 70 is opposite to the indication hole 12d (preferably, the indicator track shaft 75 is located at the connection between the second vertical groove and the inclined groove at this time), and when the plug-in circuit breaker is opened, the opening indication surface 71 is opposite to the indication hole 12d (preferably, the indicator track shaft 75 is located at the connection between the first vertical groove and the inclined groove at this time, and the operating button 1d is continued to be pulled, so that the indicator track shaft 75 slides along the first vertical groove until the second locking member 8 drives the first locking member 9 to release the limit cooperation with the shell of the circuit breaker assembly position).

[0131] The invention also discloses a wiring terminal.

[0132] like Figure 19-24 FIG. 1 shows an implementation of the wiring terminal of the present invention.

[0133] The terminal of the present invention comprises a terminal screw 2e, a wire pressing plate 2g, a nut 2f and a terminal board 2j; the terminal screw 2e is threadedly connected with the nut 2f; the wire pressing plate 2g is arranged between the nut 2f and the nut of the terminal screw, and is arranged obliquely relative to the terminal board 2j, the terminal board 2j is fixedly arranged, one end of the wire pressing plate 2g is limited, and the other end is arranged relative to the terminal board 2j to form a space for connecting the wire; the wire is inserted between the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j, and the terminal screw 2e is screwed, and the nut 2f moves axially along the terminal screw 2e, and at the same time, the nut 2f drives the end of the wire pressing plate 2g that cooperates with the terminal board 2j to lift up, and the wire is pressed tightly between the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j. Further, the nut 2f is limitedly matched with the terminal assembly cavity accommodating the terminal, preventing the nut 2f from rotating, and can only move along the axial direction of the terminal screw 2e, and the nut 2f moves back and forth along the axial direction of the terminal screw 2e when the terminal screw 2e is screwed.

[0134] Specifically, Figure 19-24In the direction shown, the left end of the wire pressing plate 2g is limited, and the right end is arranged opposite to the terminal block 2j and used in conjunction with it. The wire pressing plate 2g gradually tilts downward from the left end to the right end, and the left end of the wire pressing plate 2g is higher than the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g. When the wiring screw 2e is screwed, the nut 2f moves upward along the axial direction of the wiring screw 2e, and at the same time, the nut 2f drives the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g to gradually rise, pressing the wire between the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal block 2j. Of course, when the wire needs to be removed, the wiring screw 2e needs to be screwed to make the nut 2f move downward along the axial direction of the wiring screw 2e, reducing the pressure between the wire pressing plate 2g and the wire, so as to better remove the wire.

[0135] Preferably, Figure 19-24 As shown, the terminal board 2j is provided with a plurality of transverse grooves or transverse ribs arranged side by side on the side facing the wire pressing board 2g, and the extending direction of the transverse grooves or transverse ribs is perpendicular to the direction of wire insertion.

[0136] The terminal block of the present invention has a pressure applied by the wire pressing plate 2g to the wire located between the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal block 2j, which mainly includes the pressure generated by the deformation of the wire pressing plate 2g itself and the pressure applied by the nut member 2f to the wire through the wire pressing plate 2g. Compared with the existing terminal block that only relies on the wire pressing plate 2g to tighten the wire, the wiring is more reliable.

[0137] It should be pointed out that, in the wiring terminal of the present embodiment, the nut member 2f may not be limitedly matched with the terminal assembly cavity that accommodates the wiring terminal, but only relies on the friction force generated by the contact between the nut member 2f and the wire pressing plate 2g to limit the nut member 2f from rotating with the wiring screw 2e; in addition, since the nut member 2f is a special-shaped member, its center of gravity is located at one end of the nut member 2f, which does not coincide with the axis of the wiring screw 2e, so an eccentric force is generated to limit the nut member 2f from rotating with the wiring screw 2e. In addition, in the wiring terminal of the present embodiment, the nut member 2f and the wiring screw 2e may also be fixedly connected (instead of threaded connection), and the wiring screw 2e is threadedly matched with the shell of the terminal assembly cavity. When the wiring screw 2e is screwed, the wiring screw 2e moves relative to the terminal assembly cavity, and at the same time drives the nut member 2e to move, which can also drive the wire pressing plate 2g to move.

[0138] like Figure 19-21 FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the wiring terminal of the present invention.

[0139] The terminal comprises a terminal screw 2e, a wire pressing plate 2g, a nut 2f, a terminal plate 2j, a wire pressing plate mounting shaft 2h and a wire pressing plate reset spring 2i; the terminal screw 2e is threadedly connected with the nut 2f, the nut 2f is limitedly matched with the terminal assembly cavity accommodating the terminal, and the nut 2f is prevented from rotating, and the terminal screw 2e is screwed, and the nut 2f reciprocates along the axial direction of the terminal screw 2e; the wire pressing plate 2g is arranged between the nut 2f and the nut of the terminal screw, and is inclined relative to the terminal plate 2j, and the terminal plate 2j is fixed; one end of the wire pressing plate 2g is provided with a wire pressing plate shaft sleeve 20g, and the other end is arranged opposite to the terminal plate 2j and used in conjunction, the wire pressing plate shaft sleeve 20g is sleeved on the wire pressing plate mounting shaft 2h, and the two ends of the wire pressing plate mounting shaft 2h are respectively fixed on the cavity wall of the terminal assembly cavity, and the wire pressing plate reset torsion spring 2i is sleeved on the wire pressing plate mounting shaft 2h, one end is connected to the cavity wall of the terminal assembly cavity, and the other end is connected to the wire pressing plate 2g. In the wiring terminal of this embodiment, the wire pressing plate return spring 2i can drive the raised end of the wire pressing plate 2g to fall down while the nut member 2f moves downward, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of wire removal.

[0140] Specifically, Figure 19-21 In the direction shown, the left end of the wire pressing plate 2g is provided with a wire pressing plate sleeve 20g, and the right end is arranged opposite to and used in conjunction with the terminal block 2j. The wire pressing plate 2g gradually tilts downward from the left end to the right end, and the left end of the wire pressing plate 2g is higher than the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g. Fig. 20 As shown, at this time, the gap between the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j is the largest, and the wire can be inserted between the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j at this time, and then the terminal screw 2e is screwed to make the nut member 2f move upward along the axial direction of the terminal screw 2e, while driving the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g to gradually rise, and at the same time, the gap between the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j gradually becomes smaller, thereby pressing the wire tightly; as shown in FIG. Fig.21 As shown, at this time, the gap between the right end of the wire pressing plate 2g and the terminal board 2j is the smallest, almost 0.
