[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 12 The following embodiments are provided to further illustrate the specific implementation of a leakage circuit breaker of the present invention. The leakage circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.
[0031] A leakage circuit breaker, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes an L-phase pole module 1, an N-phase pole module 2, a reclosing gate module 3, and a leakage protection module. The N-phase pole module 2 is arranged between the L-phase pole module 1 and the reclosing gate module 3, and the leakage protection module is dispersed in the N-phase pole module 2 and the reclosing gate module 3. This shortens the length of the wire connection between the leakage protection module and the reclosing gate module 3, improves assembly and welding efficiency, and facilitates overall miniaturization. The L-phase pole module 1 includes an L-pole handle structure 14, an L-pole operating mechanism 15, and an L-pole contact mechanism 16. The N-phase pole module 2 includes an N-pole handle structure 24, an N-pole operating mechanism 25, and an N-pole contact mechanism 26. The reclosing gate module 3 includes a driving handle 31. The driving handle 31 is linked to the L-pole handle structure 14 and the N-pole handle structure 24 via a handle linkage shaft. After receiving the closing action command, the reclosing gate module 3, under the action of the handle linkage shaft, enables the L-phase pole module 1 and the N-phase pole module 2 to realize the automatic closing function. Of course, the L-phase pole module may also be arranged between the N-phase pole module and the reclosing gate pole module to achieve the same function.
[0032] like Figure 3 、 8 -11 A driving handle 31, a circuit board 35, a gear transmission device 32, a tripping drive structure and a motor 33 are installed in the reclosing pole module 3. The driving handle 31 is linked with the L-pole handle structure 14 and the N-pole handle structure 24. The L-pole operating mechanism 15 is linked with the N-pole operating mechanism 25 and is also linked with the tripping drive structure. The driving handle 31 is driven and connected to the gear transmission device 32 through a driving connecting rod 34. When the controller of the circuit board 35 receives a closing action signal, the motor 33 and the gear transmission device 32 rotate and drive the driving connecting rod 34 to rotate. The driving connecting rod 34 rotates the driving handle 31. The driving handle 31 drives the L-pole handle structure 14 and the N-pole handle structure 24 to rotate and activate the L-pole operating mechanism 15 and the N-pole operating mechanism 25 to achieve automatic closing. When the controller of the circuit board 35 receives an opening action signal, the motor 33 and the gear transmission device 32 cause the L-pole operating mechanism 15 and the N-pole operating mechanism 25 to operate synchronously through the tripping drive structure to achieve automatic opening.
[0033] The leakage protection module realizes the automatic tripping function through the reclosing gate module 3. After the leakage protection module detects the leakage signal, the leakage protection module trips the circuit breaker through the reclosing gate module 3. The leakage protection module also includes a test button circuit. When the test button circuit is turned on, the leakage protection module can also drive the circuit breaker to trip through the reclosing gate module 3.
[0034] like Figure 6 、 9As shown in Figure 10, the leakage protection module includes a zero-sequence transformer 41, a leakage release 42 and a test button circuit. The zero-sequence transformer 41 and the leakage release 42 are arranged in the N-phase pole module 2, and the test button circuit is arranged in the reclosing pole module 3. The leakage release 42 and the test button circuit are connected to the circuit board 35 of the reclosing pole module 3. The conduction and disconnection of the test button circuit are controlled by a micro switch 44. The micro switch 44 is arranged on the circuit board 35 in the reclosing pole module 3. A test button 43 is provided in the reclosing pole module 3. The test button 43 is used to cooperate with the micro switch 44 to make the test button circuit conductive or disconnected. After the zero-sequence transformer 41 detects the leakage current, the controller of the circuit board 35 of the reclosing gate module 3 drives the leakage release 42 to operate and open the circuit breaker; when the test button circuit is turned on, the zero-sequence transformer 41 detects the simulated leakage current generated by the test button circuit, and the controller of the circuit board 35 of the reclosing gate module 3 drives the leakage release 42 to operate and open the circuit breaker.
[0035] An improvement of the present application is that a dual-metal component for implementing overload protection is not provided in the L-phase pole module 1. Instead, a current transformer 19 is provided to collect current signals to determine whether an overload occurs in the main line of the circuit breaker. The current transformer 19 is connected to the circuit board 35 of the reclosing pole module 3 to feedback the current signal of the main line, and the controller on the circuit board 35 can feedback the power consumption of the main line to the user end. When an overcurrent occurs in the main line of the circuit breaker, the current transformer 19 feeds back the main line current magnitude signal to the controller of the circuit board 45. After the controller determines that an overload occurs, the controller of the circuit board 35 drives the reclosing pole module 3 to operate within a specified time to realize automatic opening of the circuit breaker. The controller is provided with a control module, which is used to determine whether the current feedback current of the current transformer is an overload current and to control the motor 3 of the reclosing pole module 3. Preferably, the control module of the controller can trigger the reclosing pole module 3 to operate within a specified time according to a set program. This overload protection has higher stability and accuracy than the existing dual-metal component.

Figure 12), the circuit board 35 is arranged inside the housing of the reclosing module, and the circuit board 35 is respectively connected to the L-pole incoming terminal 12 and the N-pole incoming terminal 22, and is used to control the power supply of the circuit board 35 or the temperature rise data feedback of the incoming terminal; the driving handle 31, the gear transmission device 32 and the motor 33 are arranged on the surface of the circuit board 35, and are stacked. The driving handle 31 and the test button 43 are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper part of the reclosing module housing, and the driving handle 31 and the gear transmission device 32 are rotated together through a driving connecting rod 34, and the gear transmission device 32 is connected to the motor 33 for transmission. The motor 33 drives the driving connecting rod 34 through the gear transmission device 32 to drive the driving handle 31 to realize automatic closing. When the controller of the circuit board 35 receives the closing action After the signal is received, the driving motor 33 rotates, and the gear transmission device 32 and the driving connecting rod 34 cooperate with each other to activate the L-pole operating mechanism 15 and the N-pole operating mechanism 25 to realize automatic closing; the tripping driving structure is arranged on the side of the gear transmission device 32 facing the circuit board 35, and the driving motor 33 rotates after the controller of the circuit board 35 receives the tripping action signal.

When the test button circuit is turned on, the zero-sequence mutual inductor 41 detects the leakage signal and the leakage release 42 triggers the opening of the circuit breaker.
[0049] The driving handle 31 is arranged at the upper part of the reclosing gate module 3, the motor 33 is arranged at the lower part of the reclosing gate module 3, and the gear transmission device 32 is arranged in the middle of the reclosing gate module housing. One end of the gear transmission device 32 is connected to the motor 33, and the other end of the gear transmission device 32 is connected to the driving handle 31 through a driving connecting rod 34. A tripping driving structure is provided on the side of the gear transmission device 32 facing the circuit board 35. The tripping driving structure is used to cooperate with the N-pole locking linkage shaft 251 of the N-pole operating mechanism 25. The tripping driving structure pushes the N-pole locking linkage shaft 251 of the N-pole operating mechanism 25 to move and realizes synchronous opening of the N-phase pole module 2 and the L-phase pole module 1 under the linkage action.
[0050] like Figure 11As shown, the gear transmission device 32 includes three first gears 321, second gears 322 and third gears 323 that are meshed in sequence, wherein the first gear 321 is meshed with the motor 33 through a worm, and a driving connecting rod 34 is provided on the third gear 323 on the side facing away from the circuit board 35. One end of the driving connecting rod 34 is connected to one side of the third gear 323 as a connecting end, and the other end of the driving connecting rod 34 cooperates with the third gear 323 as a driving end to drive the driving handle 31 to rotate. A tripping driving structure is provided on the side of the third gear 323 facing the circuit board 35. The trip drive structure includes a trip drive member 36 and a drive protrusion (not shown). One end of the trip drive member 36 is rotatably mounted on the reclosing gate module housing, and the other end of the trip drive member 36 is arranged corresponding to the N-pole lock linkage shaft 251 of the N-pole operating mechanism 25. The drive protrusion is arranged on the side of the third gear 323 facing the circuit board 35 and is in contact with the trip drive member 36 through rotation, thereby driving the trip drive member 36 to push the N-pole lock linkage shaft 251 of the N-pole operating mechanism 25 to unlock the lock and tripping in the N-pole operating mechanism 25, completing the tripping action. Such a trip drive structure has the advantages of being simple and reliable in structure and facilitating reset after tripping.
[0051] Combine Figure 9-11 An embodiment of the cooperation between a driving handle 31 and a gear transmission device 32 is provided. The driving handle 31 has a protruding handle portion 311. A track groove 371 for cooperating with the driving end of the driving connecting rod 34 is provided below the driving handle 31. As the third gear 323 opens and closes the switch, the driving connecting rod 34 slides along the track groove 371. The driving end pushes the handle portion 311 to rotate the driving handle 31. When the motor 33 drives the gear transmission device 32 to close the switch, Figure 11 The rotation direction of the third gear 323 is counterclockwise. At this time, the driving end of the driving connecting rod 34 slides from the inner end of the track groove 371 to the outer end of the track groove 371. After the driving end contacts the handle part 311, the handle part 311 is pushed to realize the closing rotation of the driving handle 31. The closing rotation direction of the driving handle 31 is clockwise. When the motor 33 drives the gear transmission device 32 to open the switch, Figure 11The third gear 323 rotates clockwise. At this time, the gear transmission device 32 causes the trip drive structure to drive the N-pole locking linkage shaft 251 of the N-pole operating mechanism 25. This linkage action causes the L-phase pole module 1 and the N-phase pole module 2 to synchronously complete the tripping action. Simultaneously, the gear transmission device 32 drives the driving end of the connecting rod 34 to slide from the outer end of the track groove 371 to the inner end of the track groove 371. After the driving end releases its pushing force, the handle portion 311 rotates counterclockwise to open the gate. It should be noted that the circuit board 35 is provided with an escape groove 352 for the driving protrusion of the third gear 323 to move. The housings of the reclosing gate module, the N-phase pole module, and the L-phase pole module are provided with through holes for the respective locking linkage shafts to achieve linkage and rotation.
[0052] The difference from the existing test button 43 installation position is that Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 9-11, the test button 43 of the present application is provided on the reclosing gate module 3. The test button 43 is provided on the upper part of the reclosing gate module 3 and is located on the side opposite to the driving handle 31. The test button circuit of the leakage protection module is connected to the circuit board 35, wherein the micro switch 44 for controlling the on and off of the test button circuit is also provided on the circuit board 35. The end of the test button 43 extending into the interior of the reclosing module is used to press the micro switch 44 on the circuit board 35.
[0053] The test button 43 has two pressing portions, one of which, serving as a first pressing portion, slides through a mounting slot provided on the reclosing module housing. The other, serving as a second pressing portion, is used to press a microswitch 44 located within the reclosing module housing on the circuit board 35. A cooperating limiting structure is preferably provided between the test button 43 and the reclosing module housing. The limiting structure is used to limit the travel of the test button 43 beyond the reclosing module housing. This limiting structure prevents the test button 43 from being ejected excessively when pressed.
[0054] like Figure 2 、 10As shown in Figure 11, the limiting structure includes a first limiting boss 372 arranged inside the housing of the reclosing gate module and a second limiting boss 431 arranged on the test button 43.

The second limiting boss 431 protrudes and is arranged on one side of the test button 43 for limiting cooperation with the inner wall of the housing of the reclosing gate module. The structure for limiting cooperation with the second limiting boss 431 can be a protruding structure, a groove structure or other structure capable of achieving limiting cooperation arranged inside the housing of the reclosing gate module. In the present application, the limiting cooperation is achieved with the help of the shape of the housing of the reclosing gate module and the second limiting boss 431, and the upper side wall of the housing of the reclosing gate module protrudes outward. The arrangement makes the overall housing of the reclosing gate module present a "convex" shape, and the upper side wall of the reclosing gate module 3 is a stepped surface with a high middle and low sides. The reclosing gate module housing is composed of a base 37 and an upper cover 38. A first limiting boss 372 is provided on the base 37, and a reset spring 373 is provided between the first limiting boss 372 and the first pressing portion. The test button 43 is passed through the upper part of the base, and preferably a second limiting boss 431 is provided on one side of the second pressing portion. The second limiting boss 431 is engaged with the stepped surface of the upper cover 38 to limit the stroke of the test button 43 extending out of the housing of the reclosing gate module. This first limiting boss 372 and the structure for limiting cooperation with the second limiting boss 431 are respectively provided in the structure of the base 37 and the test button 43, which facilitates the installation of the test button 43. Of course, the second limiting boss 431 may also be provided at other positions of the test button 43 , and the second limiting boss 431 may also cooperate with other structures of the reclosing gate module housing to limit the movement stroke of the test button 43 .
[0055] The reclosing gate module 3 is provided with an indicator light, which is used to display the working status of the circuit breaker. The indicator light includes a test button 43 provided on the reclosing gate module 3 and a light emitting element 351 provided inside the reclosing gate module 3 (see Figure 10 ), the test button 43 is positioned near the light-emitting element 351. This button 43 acts as a light guide, directing the operating status of the light-emitting element 351 to the exterior of the reclosing gate module 3 for display of the circuit breaker's operating status. This structure, in which the test button 43 also serves as a light guide, prevents the indicator light from popping out when the test button 43 is pressed, compared to placing the indicator light within the test button 43. This structure also reduces the size of the circuit breaker and avoids requiring excessive mounting holes.
[0056] The light emitting element 351 in the indicator light is preferably a light emitting diode, and the test button 43 is a translucent part made of PC material. Of course, other translucent materials can also be used to make the test button 43. The light emitting diode is set at a position near the test button 43 on the circuit board 35. Figure 10 In the embodiment, the light emitting diode is arranged on the upper part of the circuit board 35, and the test button 43 transmits the lighting condition of the light emitting diode to the outside of the reclosing gate module 3 to indicate the state of the circuit breaker. Preferably, different colors or different brightness or flashing frequencies of the light emitting diode are used to display different states of the circuit breaker, that is, the indicator light can indicate that the circuit breaker is in normal working state, leakage state, overload state, short circuit or over / under voltage state, and can also display the state of arrears or normal fees. Of course, the number of light emitting elements 351 can be multiple, corresponding to different working states of the circuit breaker.
[0057] like Figure 1 、 9 As shown, the reclosing gate module 3 is also provided with a switching switch 39. The switching switch 39 is located between the driving handle 31 and the test button 43. The switching switch 39 is driven to set the circuit breaker module to manual mode or automatic mode. In manual mode, the product cannot close automatically and needs to be closed manually. The switching switch 39 includes a toggle switch 391 and a push plate 392. The toggle switch 391 is set on the circuit board 35. The push plate 392 is set on the surface of the toggle switch 391 and is used to push the toggle switch 391. Preferably, the push plate 392 is located between the toggle switch 391 and the housing of the reclosing gate module and can slide between the toggle switch 391 and the reclosing gate module. An opening corresponding to the push plate 392 is provided on the housing of the reclosing gate module for pushing the push plate 392. By pushing the push plate 392, the manual mode or the automatic mode is switched. The toggle switch 391 is connected to the power supply circuit of the motor 33, or to the control circuit of the automatic opening control circuit, or is connected to the controller in the reclosing gate module 3 as a parameter signal.
