Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to a high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] At present, most of the circuit breakers used in the aviation field are thermal circuit breakers, which work on the principle of thermal bimetal electrothermal tripping. They have the characteristics of small size, light weight, etc. The circuit breaker is prone to be affected by vibration, shock, acceleration and vibration environment during application, resulting in misoperation protection phenomenon, thus affecting the working reliability of the circuit breaker. Its anti-vibration characteristic is mainly affected by the unlocking sensitivity of the unlocking mechanism. The higher the unlocking sensitivity, the higher the control precision of the circuit breaker, but the anti-vibration characteristic will be relatively reduced, and vice versa.
[0003] For example, a push-button type circuit breaker disclosed in Chinese Patent No. 201610751704.1 has the characteristics of small size, light weight, long service life, convenient installation and use. It can manually press to lock and connect the power supply, automatically cut off the power supply under overcurrent tripping, manually pull out the operating handle to cut off the power supply, has high precision of tripping current, and strong anti-vibration and anti-shock capabilities. It is mainly applicable to fields such as aerospace, aviation, and locomotives. Its locking assembly includes a locking piece, a U-shaped locking piece and a base. The locking piece is riveted to the end of the push rod piece, and a torsion spring is provided on one side of the locking piece; the U-shaped locking piece is fixed on the locking shaft, and a tension spring is provided between the U-shaped locking piece and the torsion spring.
[0004] In order to improve the anti-vibration performance of the thermal circuit breaker and meet the high requirements of the aviation field, it is necessary to research and improve the circuit breaker and its core components. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker. The present invention has the characteristics of simple structure, good anti-vibration effect, and is suitable for the special application field of aviation circuit breakers.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention: The high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker includes a limit lock assembly. The limit lock assembly includes a limit lock. The limit lock is connected to a limit compensation piece. A lock groove is provided on the limit lock. The lock groove is connected to a linkage buckle piece. The lower end of the lock groove of the limit lock is inclined. The inclination angle β between the lower end of the lock groove and the limit lock is 2 - 11°. Maximum range
[0007] For the above high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker, β is 2.1 - 10.8°.
[0008] For the above high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker, β is 4 - 8.8°.
[0009] For the above high anti-vibration structure of a circuit breaker, a limit elastic piece is provided on the other side of the limit lock. The limit elastic piece is divided into an elastic piece connection section, an elastic piece section and a hook section. The elastic piece connection section and the elastic piece section are inclined, and the inclination angle is 30 - 60°.
[0010] The high anti-vibration structure of the above circuit breaker, the limit compensation piece is divided into a compensation connection section, a limit section and an extension section, and the compensation connection section is connected to one end of the limit lock.
[0011] The high anti-vibration structure of the above circuit breaker, the linkage buckle piece is connected to the linkage mechanism.
[0012] The high anti-vibration structure of the above circuit breaker, the limit lock includes a lock piece, positioning shafts are arranged on both sides of the lock piece, the lock piece is divided into a locking component and a compensation component, a locking groove is arranged on the locking component, and the compensation component is connected to the limit compensation piece.
[0013] Beneficial effects: The working principle of the circuit breaker is as follows: When the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker is in the closed and connected state, the linkage buckle piece is buckled with the locking groove of the limit lock in the limit lock assembly under the action of the linkage mechanism and the torsion spring and the tension spring in the linkage mechanism, so that the circuit breaker is kept in the connected and locked state. The applicant's research found that the locking strength is mainly determined by the locking angle of the limit lock. If the locking angle is too large, it will cause the locking point of the linkage buckle piece to be tightly locked with the locking groove of the limit lock, and the thermal thrust generated by the tripping mechanism is not enough to unlock, resulting in the mechanism not being able to unlock and trip normally; if the locking angle is too small, it is easy to cause the locking point of the linkage buckle piece to slip or not be able to be buckled with the locking groove of the limit lock, and the mechanism locking is unreliable, resulting in poor anti-vibration characteristics of the mechanism.
[0014] The force analysis of the unlocking mechanism and the locking force analysis of the circuit breaker of this patent are as Figure 9 . The anti-vibration, impact and acceleration capabilities of the circuit breaker in this project mainly depend on the locking force of the mechanism. The locking force mainly comes from the deformation thrust of the reset spring piece and the locking angle of the limit lock parts. If the thrust of the reset spring piece is too large or the locking angle of the limit lock is too large, it is difficult for the circuit breaker to unlock; if the thrust of the reset spring piece is too small or the locking angle of the limit lock is too small, the anti-vibration and impact capabilities of the circuit breaker are weakened. Through multiple preliminary tests and data record analysis, the force value of the reset spring piece and the locking force value are calculated as follows:
[0015] P = Ebh 3 X / 4L 3
[0016] In the formula: P—the maximum deformation force of the reset spring piece during the unlocking process (N)
[0017] E—elastic modulus (N / mm 2 ), the value is taken as 176500 N / mm 2
[0018] b—the width of the reset spring piece (mm), the design value is 3 mm
[0019] h—the thickness of the reset spring piece (mm), the selected material is 0.12 mm
[0020] X—the maximum deflection of the reset spring plate, with a design value of 1 (mm)
[0021] L—the effective length of the reset spring plate (mm), 4.8 mm
[0022] P = Ebh 3 X / 4L 3 =(176500 × 3 × 0.12 3 × 1) / (4 × 4.8 3 )
[0023] = 2.1 N
[0024] P: the deformation force of the reset spring plate
[0025] Fj: the unlocking force
[0026] Ft: the locking force
[0027] From: Fj=(P × Lp) / Lj=(2.1 × 2.6) / 8.2 = 0.66 N
[0028] Ft=(P × Lp) / Lt=(2.1 × 2.6) / 5.5 = 1 N
[0029] Through the research and analysis of multiple linear forces, 3D simulation, theoretical calculation and experimental verification on the thermal release, the maximum deformation thrust that can be generated in the thermal linear region of the thermal bimetal sheet in the thermal release is determined. On the basis of not exceeding this kinetic energy, the unlocking sensitivity of the unlocking mechanism is reduced as much as possible, and the locking angle of the limit lock is set within a certain range, so as to improve the anti-vibration ability of the circuit breaker and ensure the reliable operation of the circuit breaker.
[0030] Through theoretical calculation, the linear thrust of the thermal release of this type of circuit breaker is 1.2 - 1.5 N > 0.66 N (mechanism unlocking force), which can reliably push the mechanism to unlock. At the same time, multiple tests and data collection are carried out on the anti-vibration, impact and acceleration capabilities of the locking force. When the locking force ≥ 0.75 N and the locking angle of the limit lock is designed within the range of 2° - 11°, it can meet the sine vibration: (10 - 500) Hz, 0.75 mm / 10 g; (10 - 2000) Hz, 0.75 mm / 15 g; random vibration: 0.2 g 2 / Hz (10 - 2000 Hz); acceleration: 17 g; impact: 75 g (11 ms); shelling vibration: 1.462 g 2 / Hz (30 - 2000 Hz).
[0031] To sum up, the design value of the locking force of this type of circuit breaker is 1 N > 0.75 N, and the locking angle of the limit lock is designed within the range of 2.1° - 10.8°, which can fully meet the technical index requirements of the anti-high-magnitude vibration, impact and acceleration of this series of products. Better still, the locking angle is 4 - 8.8°.
[0032] Technical advantages:
[0033] For domestic peer manufacturers, the internal structure of this type of product is a shrapnel structure, without a similar independent anti-vibration mechanism. The anti-vibration performance is determined by the overall structure, and the comprehensive technical performance is poor, belonging to products with a low anti-vibration level. The main technical advantages of the anti-vibration mechanism of this type of product of our company are as follows:
[0034] 1) It has an independent anti-vibration mechanism design, and the anti-vibration structure is simple and reliable;
[0035] 2) The anti-vibration value is leading in China and advanced abroad. The index comparison is shown in Table 1;
[0036] 3) It can be applied to application scenarios with a relatively complex vibration environment and high requirements for anti-vibration performance.
[0037] The structural design of this product and the comprehensive technical performance indicators are higher than those of domestic peer products of the same type, reaching the leading level in China and being advanced abroad. The comparison of the technical indicators of the circuit breaker with those of domestic and foreign advanced manufacturers of the same type is shown in Table 1:
