[0002] Existing molded case circuit breakers often have the following problems:

[0003] 1. The slider of the electric operating device of the existing molded case circuit breaker has two detachable guide plates. During the opening and closing operations, the cam cooperates with the two guide plates to drive the slider to move. The slider has a complex structure and a high height. During the long opening and closing operations, it will move or detach, which will eventually affect the reliability of the product.

[0049] The following is combined with Figure 1-22 The following examples further illustrate the specific implementation of the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention. The molded case circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following examples.

[0051] Preferably, Figure 2 、 14 -22, an improvement of the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention is that: a terminal cavity is provided at each end of each of the pole chambers, and a wiring terminal is provided in each terminal cavity; each of the terminal cavity is composed of an upper terminal cavity provided on the cover 10a and a lower terminal cavity provided on the base 11a; each of the wiring terminals includes a wiring frame, and the two ends of each wiring frame are respectively provided in the upper terminal cavity and the lower terminal cavity of a terminal cavity; the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention also includes a terminal cover that matches the wiring frame one-to-one, and each terminal cover includes two oppositely arranged terminal cover isolation side walls, and the two terminal cover isolation side walls are respectively provided on both sides of the wiring frame to improve insulation and separate the wiring frame from the shell seam of the main body shell 1a. In the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention, the provision of the terminal cover can significantly increase the creepage distance, ensure the insulation between the pole chambers, and improve the safety of the electrical appliance.

[0052] Further, such as Figure 2 、 14-22, each of the terminal covers further includes a terminal cover limiting side wall, which is respectively connected to the two terminal cover isolation side walls, and the terminal cover limiting side wall is arranged on the side of the terminal frame inner port of the terminal frame, that is, the side close to the molded case circuit breaker. The two ends of the terminal cover limiting side wall are respectively limited and matched with the cover 10a and the base 11a, thereby ensuring the assembly reliability of the terminal cover, thereby preventing the occurrence of a situation where the creepage distance is reduced due to the terminal cover falling off. Further, as Figure 2 、 14 -As shown in FIG. 22, the wiring terminal includes a first wiring terminal 5-0 and a second wiring terminal 5-1. A first terminal cavity and a second terminal cavity are provided at both ends of each pole chamber respectively. The first wiring terminal 5-0 is arranged in the first terminal cavity, and the second wiring terminal 5-1 is arranged in the second terminal cavity. The first wiring terminal 5-0 includes a first wiring frame 5-00, and the second wiring terminal 5-1 includes a second wiring frame 5-10. An arc extinguishing chamber 1-0 is also provided in each pole chamber, and the arc extinguishing chamber outlet of the arc extinguishing chamber 1-0 is opposite to the first wiring terminal 5-0. The terminal cover includes a first terminal cover 4-0 and a second terminal cover 4-1, which respectively cooperate with the first wiring terminal 5-0 and the second wiring terminal 5-1. One end of the first connecting plate 5-03 of the first wiring terminal 5-0 is inserted in the first wiring frame 5-00, and the other end is connected to the internal circuit of the pole chamber. One end of the second connecting plate 5-13 of the second wiring terminal 5-1 is inserted in the second wiring frame 5-10, and the other end is connected to the internal circuit of the pole chamber. Further, as Figure 14-17 As shown, the first terminal cover 4-0 includes two first terminal cover isolation side walls 4-01 arranged opposite to each other and a first terminal cover limiting side wall 4-03. The two first terminal cover isolation side walls 4-01 are arranged on both sides of the first wiring frame 5-00.

The two ends are respectively limited and matched with the cover 10a and the base 11a; one end of the first terminal cover limiting side wall 14-03, which is limited and matched with the base 11a, is against the first connecting plate 5-03, and the other end of the first terminal cover limiting side wall 4-03 protrudes on one side of the first wiring frame 5-00 to form a terminal cover arc extinguishing grid part. The terminal cover arc extinguishing grid part is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 4-04. The terminal cover arc extinguishing grid part can significantly improve the exhaust efficiency of the arc extinguishing chamber inside the circuit breaker, which is beneficial to improving the arc extinguishing effect of the arc extinguishing chamber 1-0.

In the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention, one end of the arc isolation plate 4-06 is limited, and the other end will undergo a certain deformation when the arc is extinguished and exhausted in the arc extinguishing chamber 1-0, so that the high-temperature gas can be smoothly discharged from the circuit breaker through the arc extinguishing grid of the terminal cover, while also ensuring the protection level and sealing of the molded case circuit breaker; in addition, in the molded case circuit breaker of the present invention, when the arc extinguishing chamber is not provided in the pole chamber, the arc isolation plate 4-06 can be installed on the first terminal cover 4-0, which is beneficial to improve the protection effect.
