Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an opening and closing mechanism of a small circuit breaker, which can be used in the technical field of small switch controllers. Background Art
[0002] Intelligent miniature switch controllers are widely used in various fields, including homes, businesses, and industries. Common examples include automatic reclosing devices and smart switches. Currently, electronic automatic reclosing devices use relays as the main circuit breaker. However, due to the relay's insufficient breaking capacity, it may not open in the event of a short circuit. Therefore, it must be used in conjunction with a circuit breaker (CIB). This has led to a surge in research into mechanical reclosing devices, specifically intelligent circuit breakers that combine a miniature circuit breaker with an actuator and electronic components.
[0003] The intelligent circuit breaker actuators currently on the market use a motor to drive the reduction gear set in forward and reverse rotation to drive the handle to open and close the switch. When performing the opening operation, it takes a long time for the motor to start and drive the reduction gear set to drive the handle to the opening position. When the lower circuit of the switch requires immediate opening protection, this solution cannot meet the application requirements. If opening protection is required immediately after closing the switch, it is easy for the transmission mechanism to get stuck or the gears to break when switching in the reverse direction. In addition, due to the multi-stage reduction of the gear set, many parts are required, the matching requirements between the parts are high, it is easy to malfunction, and the size is large. Once stuck or the gears break, the switch will not be able to open and close effectively, and human intervention cannot open and close the switch, and professional personnel must be present to replace it. Therefore, it has become an urgent problem to study an automatic opening and closing mechanism that is simple and efficient to operate to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0011] Preferably, the trip lever is arranged at the position of the circuit breaker tripper, one end of the trip lever is fixed to the housing for rotational movement, and the other end cooperates with the circuit breaker tripper, and the trip lever trips and opens the circuit breaker by rotating the trip lever.
[0012] Preferably, the push-pull electromagnet is fixed on the housing, and the iron core of the push-pull electromagnet pushes the trip lever to rotate and trip the circuit breaker tripper to open the circuit breaker.
[0013] Preferably, there is a height difference between the upper surface of the first boss and the upper surface of the groove, and the height difference is H, where H>the protruding height of the detection knob or the stroke height of the handle.

[0035] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the double-layered, special-shaped deceleration closing transmission gear 4 is provided with a first boss 40 and a groove 41 that cooperate with the double-layered, special-shaped deceleration closing transmission gear position sensor 12. The gear rotation position is verified by whether the boss presses against the sensor's detection knob. The sector closing gear 3 is connected to the linkage shaft 9 of the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle and the sector closing gear. The other end of the transmission shaft is connected to the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle. The rotation of the sector closing gear 3 drives the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle to achieve closing.
[0036] The housing also includes a control circuit board, and the sector-shaped closing gear closing position sensor 10, the sector-shaped closing gear opening position sensor 11 and the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear position sensor 12 are electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0037] The reduction motor 6 is fixed on the housing 2, and the worm 5 on the output shaft of the reduction motor is fixed on the output shaft of the reduction motor. The worm 5 on the output shaft of the reduction motor is engaged with the large gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4, and the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 can mesh with the sector-shaped closing gear 3, thereby driving the sector-shaped closing gear 3 to rotate.
[0038] The sector closing gear 3 is connected to the linkage shaft 9 of the circuit breaker opening and closing handle and the sector closing gear. The other end of the transmission shaft is connected to the circuit breaker opening and closing handle. The circuit breaker opening and closing handle is rotated by the rotation of the sector closing gear 3 to achieve closing.
[0039] The double-layered, special-shaped deceleration closing transmission gear 4 is equipped with a first boss 40 and a groove 41, which cooperate with the double-layered, special-shaped deceleration closing transmission gear position sensor 12. The gear rotational position is verified by whether the boss presses against the sensor's detection knob. The sector closing gear 3 is connected to the linkage shaft 9 of the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle and the sector closing gear. The other end of the transmission shaft is connected to the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle. The rotation of the sector closing gear 3 drives the circuit breaker's opening and closing handle to achieve closing.
[0040] The housing also includes a control circuit board, and the sector-shaped closing gear closing position sensor 10, the sector-shaped closing gear opening position sensor 11 and the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear position sensor 12 are electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0041] A boss is provided on the sector closing gear 3 to cooperate with the sector closing gear closing position sensor 10 and the sector closing gear opening position sensor 11. The rotation position of the sector closing gear 3 is detected by whether the boss on the gear presses the detection handle of the sector closing gear closing position sensor 10 or the sector closing gear opening position sensor 11.
[0042] A trip lever 7 is positioned at the circuit breaker's trip unit. One end is fixed to housing 2 and can rotate. The other end engages the circuit breaker's trip unit. Rotating the trip lever 7 causes the circuit breaker's trip unit to trip and open. A push-pull electromagnet 8 is fixed to housing 2. The push-pull electromagnet's core pushes the trip lever 7, rotating it and opening the circuit breaker.
[0043] The reduction motor 6, the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear position sensor 12, the sector-shaped closing gear closing position sensor 10, and the sector-shaped closing gear opening position sensor 11 are electrically connected to the control circuit board of the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the miniature circuit breaker (not shown in the figure).
[0044] When the circuit breaker is in the open state, when the control circuit board of the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the small circuit breaker issues a closing command, the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the small circuit breaker starts to perform the closing operation, the reduction motor 6 rotates, driving the worm on the output shaft of the reduction motor to rotate, driving the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 to rotate counterclockwise, and the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 rotates and engages with the fan-shaped closing gear 3 to drive the fan-shaped closing gear 3 to rotate clockwise, and the rotation of the fan-shaped closing gear 3 drives the circuit breaker opening and closing handle to rotate through the linkage shaft of the circuit breaker opening and closing handle and the fan-shaped closing gear 3 to realize circuit breaker closing. At the end of the closing stroke, the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 is meshed and disengaged from the fan-shaped closing gear 3, and the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 rotates to the initial position and stops. At this time, the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 has no meshing relationship with the fan-shaped closing gear 3, and the fan-shaped closing gear 3 can rotate freely. At this time, the circuit breaker can be manually opened and closed.
[0045] When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the miniature circuit breaker controls the circuit board to issue an opening command. The automatic opening and closing mechanism of the miniature circuit breaker begins to open. The push-pull electromagnet coil is energized, and the electromagnet core pushes out, pushing the trip lever 7 and rotating it, tripping the trip mechanism on the circuit breaker. The opening operation is completed within milliseconds. After the opening action is completed, the push-pull electromagnet core returns to its original position, and the trip lever 7 returns to its original position, without affecting the next closing of the circuit.
[0046] Each time the automatic opening and closing mechanism is powered on, the double-layer special-shaped reduction gear closing transmission gear position sensor 12 detects whether the double-layer special-shaped reduction gear closing transmission gear is in the set initial position. If not, the reduction motor 6 drives the worm on the reduction motor output shaft to rotate the double-layer special-shaped reduction gear closing transmission gear 4 to the set initial position. The sector closing gear closing position sensor 10 and the sector closing gear opening position sensor 11 continuously monitor the sector closing gear closing position, enabling real-time status monitoring and closed-loop motion control.
[0047] When the automatic opening and closing mechanism of the small circuit breaker performs the closing operation, the reduction motor 6 rotates, driving the worm 5 on the output shaft of the reduction motor to rotate, driving the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 to rotate, and the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear rotates and engages with the fan-shaped closing gear 3 to drive the fan-shaped closing gear 3 to rotate. The rotation of the fan-shaped closing gear 3 drives the circuit breaker opening and closing handle to rotate through the linkage shaft 9 of the circuit breaker opening and closing handle and the fan-shaped closing gear to close the circuit breaker. At the end of the closing stroke, the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 is meshed with the fan-shaped closing gear 3, and the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 rotates to the initial position and stops. At this time, the small gear on the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 has no meshing relationship with the fan-shaped closing gear 3, and the circuit breaker can be manually opened and closed.
[0048] When the automatic opening and closing mechanism of a miniature circuit breaker performs an opening operation, the core of the push-pull electromagnet 8 pushes out, pushing the trip lever 7, rotating the trip mechanism on the circuit breaker and tripping the circuit breaker, completing the opening operation. After the opening operation is completed, the core of the push-pull electromagnet returns to its original position, and the trip lever returns to its original position, without affecting the next closing operation.
[0049] Each time the control mechanism is powered on, the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear position sensor 12 detects whether the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 is in the set initial position. If it is not in the set initial position, the reduction motor 6 drives the worm on the reduction motor output shaft to rotate, driving the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear 4 to rotate to the set initial position.
[0050] This structure solves the technical problems of existing circuit breaker opening and closing mechanisms, such as large size, complex structure, and easy jamming. When the automatic opening and closing mechanism of this small circuit breaker performs the closing operation, the reduction motor drives the worm to drive the double-layer special-shaped reduction closing transmission gear, which drives the fan-shaped closing gear to complete the circuit breaker closing operation.
[0051] Compared to traditional closing mechanisms using multiple reduction gear sets, this solution requires fewer parts, offers a simpler and more compact structure, greater stability, and reduced friction between components, resulting in high transmission efficiency and lower costs, making it suitable for widespread industrial adoption. The closing actuator in this solution utilizes a worm gear and worm, resulting in a high transmission ratio and high output torque, capable of driving a four-stage miniature circuit breaker to complete the closing action.
[0052] The closing mechanism, driven by a worm driven by a reduction motor and a double-layered, special-shaped reduction closing gear, drives the fan-shaped closing gear. All moving parts only move in one direction, eliminating the risk of gear jamming caused by switching in the opposite direction. Position detection devices are installed on both the double-layered, special-shaped reduction closing gear and the fan-shaped closing gear to achieve closed-loop motion control.
[0053] During the tripping operation, the push-pull electromagnet pushes the trip lever, rotating it to trip the trip mechanism on the circuit breaker, completing the tripping operation. Using magnetic flux to trip the circuit breaker offers a simple structure, high reliability, and rapid operation, making the protection operation more efficient and reliable.
[0054] When the automatic opening and closing mechanism of this miniature circuit breaker performs an opening operation, a push-pull electromagnet pushes the trip lever, rotating it and tripping the circuit breaker's trip mechanism, completing the opening operation. This magnetic flux-based opening mechanism allows for rapid opening at millisecond speeds, eliminating the slow opening speeds associated with motor-driven gear-driven opening mechanisms.
[0055] The closing mechanism and opening mechanism in this technical solution are two independent mechanisms. Therefore, if opening protection is required immediately when closing, this technical solution can perform the opening operation through the opening mechanism, and there will be no accident caused by the inability to perform opening protection when it is required at the moment of closing.
[0056] The present invention has multiple implementation modes, and all technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
