[0043] The following combines the Figures 1-14 Given embodiments to further illustrate the detailed implementation manners of the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention. The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0044] The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention includes a handle 1, a connecting rod 2, a jumping fastener 3, a locking fastener 4, a moving contact member 6 and an arc-shaped chute 5 arranged in the housing H of the circuit breaker;

[0045] The handle 1 is pivotally arranged on the housing H, one end protrudes outside the housing H for user operation, and the other end is rotatably connected to the front end 20 of the connecting rod 2 at one end of the connecting rod 2. The rear end of the connecting rod 2 at the other end of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the kidney-shaped connecting hole 31 arranged on the jumping fastener 3 and is slidably matched with the chute 5. The buckling end 30 at one end of the jumping fastener 3 is buckled and matched with the buckling table 40 at one end of the locking fastener 4. The other end of the jumping fastener 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the moving contact member 6 and forms a jumping buckle rotation center. The locking fastener 4 is pivotally arranged on the housing H. The moving contact member 6 is rotatably arranged on the second rotating shaft 2rs through a kidney-shaped hole 62 arranged in the middle thereof. The other end of the moving contact member 6 is provided with a moving contact 63 for cooperating with the static contact 7.

[0046] Compared with the operating mechanism of the existing circuit breaker, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention omits some components, such as the rotating plate, the overtravel spring, etc., significantly simplifies the structure of the operating mechanism, thereby reducing the installation space occupied by the operating mechanism, which conforms to the development trend of the intellectualization and miniaturization of the circuit breaker.

[0047] Preferably, as Figures 1-5As shown, the locking fastener 4 is pivotally arranged on the housing H through the second rotating shaft 2rs. The locking fastener 4 and the moving contact member 6 are coaxially arranged, which is beneficial to saving the internal space of the circuit breaker and conforming to the miniaturization development trend of the circuit breaker. Of course, the locking fastener 4 can be pivotally arranged on the housing H through another rotating shaft different from the second rotating shaft 2rs.

[0048] Preferably, for the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention, during closing, the handle 1 rotates in the closing direction, causing the rear end 21 of the connecting rod to move along the chute 5. At the same time, the rear end 21 of the connecting rod drives the tripping fastener 3, the locking fastener 4, and the moving contact member 6 to rotate synchronously around the second rotating shaft 2rs until the moving contact 63 initially contacts the static contact 7. The handle 1 continues to rotate in the closing direction, driving the moving contact member 6 to swing with the static contact 7 as the fulcrum, and the kidney-shaped hole 62 moves relative to the second rotating shaft 2rs, and the circuit breaker enters the closing state. Further, when the moving contact member 6 swings with the static contact 7 as the fulcrum, the kidney-shaped hole 62 translates relative to the second rotating shaft 2rs.

[0049] Combined with Figures 2-4 As shown, the circuit breaker further includes a moving contact return spring for driving the moving contact member 6 to reset. The other end of the locking fastener 4 is in driving cooperation with the protection mechanism of the circuit breaker. The protection mechanism includes a short-circuit protection mechanism 8a, and of course, it can also include an overload protection mechanism or protection mechanisms with other functions. When a fault occurs, the short-circuit protection mechanism 8a drives the locking fastener 4 to rotate, causing the buckling platform 40 to release the buckling cooperation with the buckling end 30. The moving contact return spring drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate, causing the moving contact 63 to disconnect from the static contact 7, and causing the tripping fastener 3 to rotate around the tripping rotation center, and the circuit breaker enters the tripping state.

[0050] Further, combined with Figures 2-4 As shown, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker further includes a locking fastener return spring connected to the locking fastener 4 and a handle return spring connected to the handle 1. The locking fastener return spring drives the locking fastener 4 to reset after the circuit breaker trips. The handle return spring drives the handle 1 to rotate in the opening direction. The handle 1 drives the tripping fastener 3 to rotate around the tripping rotation center through the connecting rod 2, causing the buckling end 30 to re-buckle with the buckling platform 40, and the circuit breaker enters the opening state.

[0051] As Figures 1-13 shown, it is an embodiment of the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0052] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention includes a handle 1, a connecting rod 2, a tripping buckle 3, a locking buckle 4, a moving contact member 6, an arc-shaped sliding groove 5, and a moving contact return spring disposed within the housing H of the circuit breaker; the middle of the handle 1 is pivotally arranged on the housing H, one end protrudes outside the housing H for user operation, and the other end is rotatably connected to the front end 20 of the connecting rod 2 at one end of the connecting rod 2. The rear end 21 of the connecting rod 2 at the other end of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into a kidney-shaped connecting hole 31 provided on the tripping buckle 3 and is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 5. One end of the tripping buckle 3, the buckling end 3, is buckled and cooperated with the buckling table 40 at one end of the locking buckle 4. The other end of the tripping buckle 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the moving contact member 6 to form a tripping rotation center. The middle of the locking buckle 4 is pivotally arranged on the second rotating shaft 2rs, and the second rotating shaft 2rs is fixed to the housing H. The other end of the locking buckle 4 is drivingly cooperated with the short-circuit protection mechanism 8a of the circuit breaker. The moving contact member 6 is rotatably arranged on the second rotating shaft 2rs through a kidney-shaped hole 62 provided in the middle thereof. The other end of the moving contact member 6 is provided with a moving contact 63, which is used in cooperation with a static contact 7 fixed to the housing H; the moving contact return spring is connected to the moving contact member 6. Further, the sliding groove 5 is arranged on the housing H, and the center of the sliding groove 5 is located on the axis of the second rotating shaft 2rs. Further, the free end of the rear end 21 of the connecting rod passes through the kidney-shaped connecting hole 31 and is inserted into the sliding groove 5.

[0053] When the handle 1 rotates in the closing direction, the rear end 21 of the connecting rod moves along the sliding groove 5. At the same time, the rear end 21 of the connecting rod drives the tripping buckle 3, the locking buckle 4, and the moving contact member 6 to rotate synchronously around the second rotating shaft 2rs, and the moving contact member 6 stores energy in the moving contact return spring until the moving contact 63 initially contacts the static contact 7. The handle 1 continues to rotate in the closing direction, driving the moving contact member 6 to swing with the static contact 7 as a fulcrum, and the kidney-shaped hole 62 translates relative to the second rotating shaft 2rs. The moving contact member 6 further stores energy in the moving contact return spring, and the circuit breaker enters the closing state. Further, the combination Figures 2-5 As shown in the figure, when a short-circuit fault occurs, the short-circuit protection mechanism 8a drives the locking buckle 4 to rotate, so that the buckling table 40 releases the buckling cooperation with the buckling end 30. The moving contact return spring releases energy and drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate, so that the moving contact 63 is disconnected from the static contact 7, and the tripping buckle 3 rotates around the tripping rotation center, and the circuit breaker enters the tripping state. Further, the combination Figures 2-5 As shown in the figure, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes a locking buckle return spring connected to the locking buckle 4 and a handle return spring connected to the handle 1. The locking buckle return spring drives the locking buckle 4 to reset after the circuit breaker trips. The handle return spring drives the handle 1 to rotate in the opening direction. The handle 1 drives the tripping buckle 3 to rotate around the tripping rotation center through the connecting rod 2, so that the buckling end 30 and the buckling table 40 are buckled and cooperated again, and the circuit breaker enters the opening state.

[0054] Preferably, as Figure 1As shown, the handle 1 includes an operating arm 10 and a transmission arm 11 that are bent and connected. The connection between the operating arm 10 and the transmission arm 11 is pivotally arranged on the housing H through a first rotating shaft 1rs. Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the handle 1 includes an operating arm 10 and a rotating disc. One end of the operating arm 10 is connected to the rotating disc. The middle of the rotating disc is pivotally arranged on the housing H through a first rotating shaft 1rs. A handle connection hole is provided at the outer edge of the rotating disc. The part between the first rotating shaft 1rs and the handle connection hole forms the transmission arm 11 of the handle 1.

[0055] Preferably, the moving contact member 6 further includes a tripping indication surface 601 and a closing indication surface 602 provided at one end thereof. An indication hole H01 is provided on the housing H and is matched with the tripping indication surface 601 and the closing indication surface 602. When the circuit breaker is closed, the handle 1 rotates in the closing direction and drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 2rs through the connecting rod 2, so that the closing indication surface 602 faces the indication hole H01. When the circuit breaker trips or is opened, the moving contact return spring drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 2rs, so that the tripping indication surface 601 faces the indication hole H01. The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention does not require a separate indicating member for indicating the open / closed state of the circuit breaker, further simplifies the structure of the operating mechanism, and reduces the required installation space.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown in the direction, the middle of the handle 1 is pivotally arranged on the housing H. Its operating arm 10 protrudes outside the housing H for the user to operate. The handle connection hole is rotatably connected to the front end 20 of the connecting rod at the left end of the connecting rod 2. The rear end 21 of the connecting rod at the right end of the connecting rod 2 is inserted into an oval connection hole 31 provided on the toggle 3 and is slidably matched with the chute 5. The buckle end 30 at the left end of the toggle 3 is buckled and matched with the buckle platform 40 at the upper end of the locking member 4. The right end of the toggle 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the moving contact member 6 and forms a toggle rotation center. The middle of the locking member 4 is pivotally arranged on the second rotating shaft 2rs. The second rotating shaft 2rs is fixed to the housing H. The lower end of the locking member 4 is drivingly matched with the short-circuit protection mechanism 8a of the circuit breaker. The moving contact member 6 is rotatably arranged on the second rotating shaft 2rs through an oval hole 62 provided in the middle thereof. A moving contact 63 is provided at the lower end of the moving contact member 6 and is used in cooperation with a static contact 7 fixed to the housing H. The moving contact return spring is connected to the moving contact member 6. The tripping indication surface 601 and the closing indication surface 602 are arranged on the upper end surface of the moving contact member 6, and the indication hole H01 is arranged at the upper end of the housing H. As Figure 2As shown, the circuit breaker is in the open state. The buckling end 30 of the jump fastener 3 is buckled with the buckling platform of the lock fastener 4. The user operates the operating arm 10 to rotate the handle 1 in the closing direction (clockwise rotation). The handle 1 drives the rear end 21 of the connecting rod to move clockwise along the extension direction of the chute 5, and drives the lock jump fastener 3, the lock fastener 4 and the moving contact member 6 to rotate clockwise around the second rotating shaft 2rs synchronously. The position of the rear end 21 of the connecting rod relative to the kidney-shaped connection hole 31 remains unchanged (that is, the distance between the rear end 21 of the connecting rod and the jump fastener connection hole 32 remains unchanged) until the moving contact 63 comes into initial contact with the static contact 7. Then, continue to rotate the handle 1 in the closing direction (clockwise direction), driving the moving contact member 6 to swing clockwise with the static contact 7 as the fulcrum. At this time, the rotation center of the moving contact member 6 changes, so the distance between the rear end 21 of the connecting rod and the jump fastener connection hole 32 changes. The rear end 21 of the connecting rod slides in the kidney-shaped connection hole 31 to adapt to the change in the distance between the rear end 21 of the connecting rod and the jump fastener connection hole 32, and the kidney-shaped hole 62 translates relative to the second rotating shaft 2rs. The moving contact member 6 further stores energy in the moving contact return spring, and the circuit breaker enters the closing state (as Figure 4 shown). At this time, the closing indication surface 602 is opposite to the indication hole H01, indicating the closed state of the moving contact 63 and the static contact 7; as Figure 4 shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state. When a short-circuit fault occurs, the short-circuit protection mechanism 8a drives the lock fastener 4 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the buckling platform 40 releases the buckling cooperation with the buckling end 30. The moving contact return spring releases energy and drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the moving contact 63 is disconnected from the static contact 7, and the jump fastener 3 rotates counterclockwise around the jump fastener rotation center, and the circuit breaker enters the tripping state (as Figure 5 shown); after the circuit breaker trips, the lock fastener return spring drives the lock fastener 4 to rotate clockwise around the second rotating shaft 2rs to reset. The handle return spring drives the handle 1 to rotate counterclockwise to the open position O, and the handle 1 drives the jump fastener 3 to rotate clockwise around the jump fastener rotation center through the connecting rod 2, so that the buckling end 30 is re-buckled with the buckling platform 40, and the circuit breaker enters the open state as Figure 2 shown. At this time, the open indication surface 601 is opposite to the indication hole H01, indicating the disconnected state of the moving contact 63 and the static contact 7.

[0057] Preferably, as Figure 14 shown, the lock fastener 4 includes a second linkage part 4546. When a fault occurs, the moving contact return spring drives the moving contact member 6 to rotate, and the moving contact member 6 drives the lock fastener 4 to rotate through the second linkage part 4546, which is beneficial to accelerating the tripping and tripping process of the circuit breaker. Further, as Figure 14 shown, the moving contact member 6 is drivingly engaged with the linkage base part 45 of the second linkage part 4546 to drive the lock fastener 4 to rotate.

Specifically, as Figure 14 shown, the driving portion 64 of the linkage portion of the first linkage portion 6465 of the front-stage circuit breaker is engaged with the tripping linkage shaft of the rear-stage circuit breaker. The tripping linkage shaft is inserted into the linkage shaft hole 47 of the locking member 4, and the locking linkage shaft of the rear-stage circuit breaker is drivingly engaged with the driven portion 46 of the linkage portion of the second linkage portion 4546 of the front-stage circuit breaker.
