Preferably, a power supply plate 262 is provided on the first arc-starting plate 261. The circuit board 41 realizes L-pole power supply through a conductive L-pole spring 28 arranged in the L-phase pole module 2.

[0036] like Figure 2-3 As shown in Figures 5-9, the N-phase pole module 3 includes a pair of N-pole wiring terminals, an N-pole contact mechanism 32, and an isolation plate 33 for installing the N-pole contact mechanism 32. The reclosing module 4 is stacked on the upper part and one side of the circuit board 41, and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 is stacked on the lower part of the other side of the circuit board 41, and an isolation plate 33 is arranged between the N-pole contact mechanism 32 and the circuit board 41. A pair of N-pole wiring terminals are respectively arranged on both sides of the N-phase pole module 3 as the N-pole incoming terminal 311 and the N-pole outgoing terminal 312, and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 and the isolation plate 33 are arranged between the N-pole incoming terminal 311 and the N-pole outgoing terminal 312. The isolation plate 33 is arranged near the N-pole incoming terminal 311, and the isolation plate 33 separates the N-pole contact mechanism 32 from the circuit board 41 of the reclosing module 4. Compared with the existing two-pole structure in which the reclosing module 4 and the N-phase pole module 3 are spliced ​​into one, the reclosing module 4 is arranged in the N-phase pole module 3, and the circuit board 41 of the reclosing module 4 and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 are separated only by the partition 11, which can further reduce the volume of the circuit breaker. Of course, a circuit board 41 with a notch can also be used, and the notch of the circuit board 41 corresponds to the isolation plate 33 and the N-pole contact mechanism 32, and the isolation plate 33 and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 are not stacked on the circuit board 41. Figure 5 , 6As shown, the reclosing module 4 is arranged at the upper part close to the handle structure 21, and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 is arranged at the lower part close to the N-pole outlet terminal 312.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the N-pole contact mechanism 32 includes an N-pole moving contact 321 and an N-pole static contact that cooperate with each other. The N-pole moving contact 321 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the isolation plate 33. The N-pole moving contact 321 is connected to the N-pole incoming line terminal 311 through a wire. The N-pole static contact includes an N-pole static contact plate 322. The N-pole static contact plate 322 is arranged along the space between the bottom side of the circuit board 41 and the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. Preferably, the N-pole static contact plate 322 is fixedly arranged along one side wall of the isolation plate 33. One end of the N-pole static contact plate 322 is provided with an N-pole static contact 323 that cooperates with the N-pole moving contact 321, and the N-pole static contact 323 is arranged opposite to the N-pole moving contact 321. At the same time, The static contact plate 322 is provided with an N-pole static contact 323, one end of which is provided with a static contact arc-starting plate 324, and the other end of the N-pole static contact plate 322 is connected to the N-pole output terminal 312. Preferably, the arc extinguishing chamber 26 is not arranged in the N-phase pole module 3. By arranging an arc-starting structure corresponding to the N-pole contact mechanism 32 on the isolation plate 33, the arc exhaust gas is led out of the shell 1 when the N-pole contact mechanism 32 is opened and closed, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the circuit breaker. The arc-starting structure and the static contact arc-starting plate 324 of the N-pole static contact together constitute the arc extinguishing system of the N-pole contact mechanism 32, which can still ensure the stable discharge of the arc exhaust gas without arranging the arc extinguishing chamber 26, further beneficial to reducing the volume of the circuit breaker.

[0038] The isolation plate 33 includes a first isolation portion 331 for installing the N-pole contact mechanism 32. Preferably, an arc-striking structure corresponding to the N-pole contact mechanism 32 is provided in the first isolation portion 331. The arc-striking structure includes an arc-striking groove 331a and an arc-striking track 331b respectively arranged on both sides of the first isolation portion 331. Preferably, the arc-striking track 331b is arranged in the space between the circuit board 41 and the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. The N-pole moving contact 321 swings above the arc-striking groove 331a, and the N-pole static contact is arranged along the arc-striking track 331b, which further reduces the volume of the circuit breaker.

[0039] like Figure 2 , 3, 5 and 6, an embodiment of an isolation plate 33 is provided, wherein the isolation plate 33 includes an integrally formed first isolation portion 331 and a second isolation portion 332, wherein the first isolation portion 331 is in the shape of a plate, one side of the first isolation portion 331 is connected to the second isolation portion 332, the second isolation portion 332 is provided with an installation groove for installing the N-pole incoming terminal 311, and the lower part of the side wall on the other side of the first isolation portion 331 is bent in a direction away from the first isolation portion 331 to form a limiting plate 3312, wherein the limiting plate 3312 is located between the circuit board 41 and the shell In the space between the inner bottom walls of the body 1, the limiting plate 3312 cooperates with the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 at the lower part of the N-phase pole module 3 to form an arc-striking track 331b. The N-pole static contact can be arranged along the arc-striking track 331b and connected to the N-pole output terminal 312. Of course, a complete arc-striking track 331b can also be formed by the side wall on the other side of the first isolating portion 331. In this case, there are two relatively arranged limiting plates 3312, and the gap between the two limiting plates 3312 serves as the arc-striking track 331b. The arc-striking track 331b is preferably connected to the exhaust hole of the shell 1. A plurality of arc-striking sheets 3311 arranged at intervals are provided in the middle part of the first isolating portion 331, and the gap formed between two adjacent arc-striking sheets 3311 serves as the arc-striking groove 331a. The N-pole moving contact 321 is stacked above the arc-striking groove 331a, and the N-pole moving contact 321 can swing above the arc-striking groove 331a. Preferably, the arc-striking sheet 3311 is as follows: Figure 5 , 6 As shown, there are two arc-striking pieces 3311 and the lower parts of the two arc-striking pieces 3311 are bent in the same direction, and the gap between the two arc-striking pieces 3311 serves as an arc-striking groove 331a. The N-pole moving contact 321 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the first isolating portion 331, and the N-pole moving contact 321 passes through the isolating plate 33, the circuit board 41 and the partition 11 to be linked to the L-pole moving contact of the L-phase pole module 2, and the lower part of the N-pole moving contact 321 can swing on the first partition 11 to cooperate with the N-pole static contact. The N-pole static contact plate 322 of the N-pole static contact is arranged along the limiting plate 3312, and an N-pole static contact 323 is provided on the side where the N-pole static contact plate 322 extends into the first isolation part 331, and a static contact arc-starting piece 324 is also provided on the side where the N-pole static contact plate 322 extends into the first isolation part 331, and the static contact arc-starting piece 324 is located below the N-pole static contact 323. Preferably, one end of the static contact arc-starting piece 324 is connected to the N-pole static contact plate 322, and the other end of the static contact arc-starting piece 324 is in the same bending direction as the arc-starting piece 3311. The static contact arc-starting piece 324 is located on one side of the arc-starting piece 3311 and is connected to the shell 1 together with the arc-starting piece 3311. A space for the flow of power arc is reserved between the static contact arc-starting piece 324 and the arc-starting piece 3311, which is beneficial for the arc gas to discharge from the shell 1. When the N-pole contact mechanism 32 is opened or closed in the first isolating portion 331 , the arc striking groove 331 a and the arc striking track 331 b lead the arc out of the housing 1 .

[0040] The N-pole contact mechanism 32 also includes a conductive N-pole contact spring, which is used in conjunction with the L-pole spring 28 for nearby connection to the circuit board 41 to realize power supply to the N-pole and L-pole of the circuit board 41. This power supply method avoids the need to set up wires for powering the circuit board 41, and will not cause safety hazards due to wire breakage. At the same time, this power supply method occupies less space, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the circuit breaker.

[0041] Combination Figure 5 An embodiment of a first N-pole contact spring is provided, wherein the N-pole contact spring is used to provide a closing driving force for the N-pole moving contact 321 and enable the circuit board 41 to draw power from the N-pole, and the N-pole contact spring includes a first spring 3211 and a second spring 3212, wherein one end of the first spring 3211 is connected to the power drawing column 411 of the circuit board 41, the other end of the first spring 3211 and one end of the second spring 3212 are connected to a conductive shaft in the N-phase pole module 3, the other end of the second spring 3212 is connected to the N-pole moving contact 321, the second spring 3212 is a tension spring, and is arranged on a side of the N-pole moving contact 321 close to the N-pole static contact, and the second spring 3212 provides a closing driving force for the N-pole moving contact 321 while enabling the circuit board 41 to draw power from the N-pole. It should be noted that, in this embodiment as the optimal solution, the part of the circuit board 41 corresponding to the conductive shaft is hollowed out and provided with an avoidance hole, so that the conductive shaft has no direct contact with the circuit board 41, and the conductive shaft needs to be firmly connected to the shell 1. Preferably, a conductive shaft mounting hole is provided on the shell 1, and the second spring 3212 that can provide a closing driving force for the N-pole moving contact 321 has a large elastic force. Therefore, the first spring 3211 and the second spring 3212 need to cooperate with each other to realize the N-pole power supply of the circuit board 41.

This power supply method of the circuit board 41 avoids power supply through welding wires, simplifies the processing process, saves the space size of a one-pole circuit breaker, and is conducive to further reducing the volume of the circuit breaker. Of course, the power supply column 411 may not be provided on the circuit board 41, and the end of the N-pole contact spring connected to the circuit board 41 is directly inserted into a jack of the circuit board 41.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the driving structure also includes a trip drive unit 452 and a trip rocker arm 453. The trip drive unit 452 is arranged on the gear transmission mechanism 43, preferably on the side of the gear transmission mechanism 43 close to the partition 11.

The rotation of the trip rocker arm 453 causes the lock linkage shaft 231 to drive the operating mechanism 23 of the L-phase pole module 2 to operate. After the lock of the operating mechanism 23 and the latch structure of the jump latch are unlocked, the L-pole contact mechanism 22 and the N-pole contact mechanism 32 are opened, thereby realizing automatic opening of the circuit breaker.

As the fourth gear 434 performs the opening and closing rotation, the driving end of the closing driving member 451 slides along the track groove 111, and the driving end rotates the driving handle 42 by pushing the handle portion 421; when the motor 44 drives the gear transmission mechanism 43 to close the switch, Figure 5 , 6 The fourth gear 434 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the driving end of the closing drive member 451 slides from the inner end of the track groove 111 to the outer end of the track groove 111. After the driving end contacts the handle portion 421, the handle portion 421 is pushed to realize the closing rotation of the driving handle 42.
