Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances, and in particular to an electric operating device for a circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Existing circuit breakers, especially those with electric operating devices, often have the following deficiencies:

[0003] First, the electric operating device is often equipped with a push plate for manual / automatic switching and a locking mechanism to lock the electric operating device in a specific state to prevent accidental operation. However, in existing circuit breakers, the push plate and the locking mechanism are two independent structures with different functions. If the push plate switches the electric operating device to the manual working state, the locking mechanism locks the electric operating device. Although the automatic working state of the electric operating device is disabled, the circuit breaker can still be closed manually, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Second, since the circuit breaker with an electric operating device is relatively thick, when it is installed in the meter box, it often cannot meet the thickness requirement of the meter box. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an electric operating device for a circuit breaker, which prevents the circuit breaker from being tripped by a test button after the circuit breaker is opened.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An electric operating device for a circuit breaker includes a first bracket 1, a test button 7, and a slider 203 disposed on the first bracket 1; the slider 203 is driven and engaged with the operating handle of the circuit breaker, and the slider 203 reciprocates to drive the circuit breaker to close / open; after the slider 203 drives the circuit breaker to open, the slider 203 and the test button 7 are limited and engaged to prevent the test button 7 from moving.

[0008] Preferably, the slider 203 includes a slider limiting strip 203 - 1 , and the test button 7 includes a button limiting rib 71 . The slider limiting strip 203 - 1 and the button limiting rib 71 cooperate to prevent the test button 7 from moving.

[0009] Preferably, the first bracket 1 also includes a locking mechanism 4, the locking mechanism 4 includes a button locking strip 43-1, and the test button 7 includes a button limit platform 70 arranged on one side thereof. When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the button locking strip 43-1 moves to one side of the button limit platform 70 and cooperates with its limit to prevent the movement of the test button 7.

[0010] Preferably, the first bracket 1 also includes a switching push plate 3. When the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the electric operating device switches to the manual working state and the power circuit and / or signal circuit driven by the switching push plate 3 is disconnected. When the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the electric operating device switches to the automatic working state and the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device is turned on.

[0011] Preferably, the first bracket 1 further includes a locking mechanism 4, and the switching push plate 3 is in the second position. When the locking mechanism 4 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 locks the switching push plate 3 and simultaneously drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected;

[0012] When the switching push plate 3 is in the first position and the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 drives the switching push plate 3 to move from the first position to the second position and locks the switching push plate 3. At the same time, the locking mechanism 4 drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected.

[0013] Preferably, the electric operating device also includes a first switch component 5; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the first switch component 5 is driven to switch to the first working state, so that the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is disconnected; when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the first switch component 5 is switched to the second working state, and the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is connected; when the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the first switch component 5 is driven to switch to the first working state; when the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the unlocked state, the first switch component 5 is switched to the second working state.

[0014] Preferably, the first bracket 1 further includes a locking mechanism 4. When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 cooperates with the slider 203 to prevent it from moving in the closing direction.

[0015] Preferably, the locking mechanism 4 further includes a slider locking finger 43 - 2 . When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the slider locking finger 43 - 2 cooperates with the slider 203 to prevent it from moving in the closing direction.

[0016] Preferably, the electric operating device further includes a first switch element 5, and when the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the first switch element 5 is driven to switch to the first working state; when the locking mechanism 4 switches to the unlocked state, the first switch element 5 switches to the second working state.

[0017] Preferably, the locking mechanism 4 includes a driving arm 43 - 0 . When the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 drives the first switch 5 to switch to the second working state, and the driving arm 43 - 0 is limitedly matched with the first bracket 1 .

[0018] Preferably, the first bracket 1 includes a bracket limiting arm 19, and the driving arm 43-0 and the bracket limiting arm 19 are limited and matched through a tooth-groove structure.

[0019] In the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention, after the slider 203 drives the circuit breaker to open, the slider 203 cooperates with the test button 7 to prevent the test button 7 from moving, thereby avoiding the circuit breaker tripping due to accidental touching of the test button after the circuit breaker is opened.

[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1-19 The following embodiments further illustrate the specific implementation of the electric operating mechanism and mounting structure of the circuit breaker of the present invention. The electric operating mechanism and mounting structure of the circuit breaker of the present invention are not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1 、 4-6, 13, the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention includes a first bracket 1, and a switching push plate 3, a locking mechanism 4 and a slider 203 respectively arranged on the first bracket 1; the slider 203 is driven by the operating handle of the circuit breaker, and the slider 203 reciprocates to drive the circuit breaker to close / open; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the electric operating device is switched to the manual working state and the switching push plate 3 drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected; when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the electric operating device is switched to the automatic working state and the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is connected; when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position and the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 locks the switching push plate 3 and drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position and the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 drives the switching push plate 3 to move from the first position to the second position and locks the switching push plate 3, and at the same time, the locking mechanism 4 drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected.

[0041] The electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention can disable the manual and automatic operating states of the electric operating device when the locking mechanism 4 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, regardless of whether the electric operating device is in the manual operating state or the automatic operating state. This improves the convenience of operation and avoids the situation that may occur in the prior art where the electric operating state of the electric operating device is disabled by the locking mechanism but the circuit breaker can be manually closed, thereby improving the safety of electricity use.

[0042] It should be pointed out that the power supply circuit provides working power for the electric operating device, and the signal circuit is used to transmit the closing / opening signal given externally. Only when the power supply circuit and the signal circuit are turned on at the same time can the electric operating device enter the automatic working state. If either of them is disconnected, the automatic working state is prohibited.

[0043] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 As shown in FIG. 6 , the locking mechanism 4 switches between the unlocked state and the locked state by rotating itself.

[0044] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4-6, the electric operating device further includes a first switch 5; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the first switch 5 is driven to switch to the first working state, so that the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is disconnected; when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the first switch 5 is switched to the second working state, and the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is turned on; when the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the first switch 5 is driven to switch to the first working state; when the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the unlocked state, the first switch 5 is switched to the second working state. Further, as Figure 1 、 4 -6, the first switch member 5 is a micro switch, including a first reed 51; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position or the second position, it presses or releases the first reed 51 respectively; when the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state or the unlocked state, it presses or releases the first reed 51 respectively.

[0045] Preferably, Figure 13 As shown, when the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 cooperates with the slider 203 to prevent it from moving in the closing direction, thereby achieving reliable locking of the electric operating device, so that the user cannot operate the electric operating device to close the circuit breaker either electrically or manually (because both the electric and manual modes require the slider 203 to move back and forth to drive the circuit breaker to close / open). Figure 13 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a slider locking finger 43-2. ​​When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the slider locking finger 43-2 cooperates with the slider 203 to prevent it from moving toward the closing square, which is beneficial to further ensure that the circuit breaker is locked in the open state and improve the safety of electricity use.

[0046] Preferably, Figure 13 and 14 As shown, the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention also includes a test button 7, and the locking mechanism 4 includes a button locking bar 43-1. When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the button locking bar 43-1 cooperates with the test button 7 to prevent the movement of the test button 7, and prevents the test button 7 from moving when it is pressed.

[0047] Preferably, Figure 13 As shown, after the slider 203 drives the circuit breaker to open, the slider 203 and the test button 7 are limited and matched to prevent the test button 7 from moving. Figure 13 As shown, the slider 203 includes a slider limiting strip 203 - 1 , and the test button 7 includes a button limiting rib 71 . The slider limiting strip 203 - 1 and the button limiting rib 71 cooperate to prevent the test button 71 from moving.

[0048] Preferably, pressing the test button 7 closes the moving contact and the static contact of the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is opened, the locking mechanism 4 and / or the slider 203 cooperates with the test button 7 to limit the position, thereby preventing the user from mistakenly operating the test button 7 to close the moving contact and the static contact of the circuit breaker when the electric operating device is locked, thereby further improving the safety of electricity use.

[0049] Preferably, Figure 13 and 14 As shown, the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes a test button 7, which is pressed to trip the circuit breaker; the slider 203 and / or the locking mechanism 4 cooperate with the test button 7 when the circuit breaker is opened to prevent the circuit breaker from being tripped due to pressing the test button 7.

[0050] Preferably, Figure 1 、 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the locking mechanism 4 includes a driving arm 43-0. When the locking mechanism 4 is switched to the locked state, the driving arm 43-0 cooperates with the first bracket 1 to limit the locking mechanism 4 so that the locking mechanism 4 is reliably maintained in the locked state.

[0051] like Figure 15-19 As shown, the present invention also discloses a circuit breaker mounting structure, which includes a mounting plate 2a and a guide rail 1a, wherein the circuit breaker 3a is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2a, and the mounting plate 2a is fixedly mounted on the guide rail 1a. The circuit breaker mounting structure of the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0052] Preferably, Figure 15 、 16 As shown in FIG. 18 , the mounting structure further includes a first positioning structure, and the circuit breaker 3a and the mounting plate 2a are limited and matched by the first positioning structure. Figure 15 、 16 As shown in Figures 18 and 19, each set of the first positioning structures includes a positioning protrusion 201a and a positioning groove 31a. Within the same set of positioning protrusions 201a and positioning grooves 31a, one is provided on the mounting plate 2a, and the other is provided on the circuit breaker 31a. This first positioning structure facilitates improved accuracy and efficiency in the assembly of the circuit breaker 3a and the mounting plate 2a.

[0053] Preferably, Figure 16As shown, the mounting plate 2a includes a load-bearing portion 20-21a and a connecting portion 22a. The load-bearing portion 20-21a is a U-shaped structure, comprising a base plate 20a and side plates 21a. The base plate 20a and the connecting portion 22a are respectively connected to the two ends of the side plates 21a and are bent toward the sides of the side plates 21a. The circuit breaker 3a is disposed within the load-bearing portion 20-21a and fixedly connected to the base plate 20a. The two connecting portions 22a are respectively connected to two parallel, spaced-apart guide rails 1a, with the load-bearing portion 20-21a located between the two guide rails 1a. The above-described arrangement of the mounting plate 2a, circuit breaker 3a, and guide rails 1a facilitates closer contact between the circuit breaker 3a and the mounting base of the meter box, ensuring that the circuit breaker 3a meets the thickness requirements of the meter box.

[0054] The electric operating device for the circuit breaker of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] like Figure 1 、 4 As shown in Figures 6 and 13, the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention includes a first bracket 1, and a switching push plate 3, a locking mechanism 4 and a slider 203 respectively arranged on the first bracket 1; the slider 203 is driven and cooperated with the operating handle of the circuit breaker, and the slider 203 reciprocates to drive the circuit breaker to close / open; Figure 4 As shown, when the switch push plate 3 is in the first position, the electric operating device is switched to the manual working state and the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device driven by the switch push plate 3 is disconnected; Figure 1 As shown, when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the electric operating device switches to the automatic working state and the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device is turned on; Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, and when the locking mechanism 4 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 locks the switching push plate 3 and drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to be disconnected; Figure 4-6 As shown, the switching push plate 3 is in the first position. When the locking mechanism 4 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 drives the switching push plate 3 to move from the first position to the second position and locks the switching push plate 3. At the same time, the locking mechanism 4 drives the power circuit and / or signal circuit of the electric operating device to disconnect.

[0056] It should be pointed out that Figure 13As shown, the electric operating device of the circuit breaker of the present invention also includes a main shaft 2, a cam assembly provided at one end of the main shaft 2, a motor and a gear set, and a slider track; an operating hole 21 is provided at the other end of the main shaft 2, and when the switch push plate 3 is in the first position, the operating hole 21 is avoided; when the switch push plate 3 is in the second position, the operating hole 21 is blocked; the motor is driven and cooperated with the main shaft 2 through the gear set, and the slider 203 is slidably provided on the slider track. The main shaft 2 is driven and cooperated with the slider 203 through the cam assembly, driving the slider 203 to slide back and forth.

[0057] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 As shown in FIG. 6 , the locking mechanism 4 switches between the unlocked state and the locked state by rotating itself.

[0058] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 -6, the electric operating device includes a first switch member 5; Figure 4 As shown, when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the first switch member 5 is driven to switch to the first working state, so that the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is disconnected; Figure 1 As shown, when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the first switch 5 is switched to the second working state, and the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device is turned on; Figure 6 As shown, when the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the first switch 5 is driven to switch to the first working state; Figure 1 and 4 As shown, when the locking mechanism 4 switches to the unlocked state, the first switch member 5 switches to the second working state. Figure 1 、 4 -6, the first switch member 5 is a micro switch, including a first reed 51; when the switching push plate 3 is in the first position / second position, it presses / releases the first reed 51; when the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked state / unlocked state, it presses / releases the first reed 51.

[0059] It should be noted that the first switch element 5 can be connected in series with a normally closed switch element in the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device, that is, when the first switch element 5 is in the first working state or the second working state, the first switch element 5 is disconnected or turned on.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and 4 As shown in the direction, the switch push plate 3 moves left and right to switch between the first position and the second position; Figure 1 、 4As shown in FIG6 , the locking mechanism 4 can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state by rotating itself in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions; Figure 4 As shown, the switch push plate 3 is in the first position, the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked state, and the locking mechanism 4 is operated to rotate clockwise to switch to the locked state, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, during the rotation of the locking mechanism 4, the switching push plate 3 will be driven to move to the right (from the first position to the second position), as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state and drives the switching push plate 3 to move to the second position, the switching push plate 3 blocks the operating hole 21 of the main shaft 2, and at the same time the locking mechanism 4 presses the first spring 51 of the first switch member 5 to cut off the power circuit or signal circuit of the electric operating device.

[0061] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 -6, the locking mechanism 4 includes a driving arm 43-0. When the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the locking mechanism 4 drives the first switch 5 to switch to the second working state and to limit the first bracket 1. Figure 1 、 3 As shown in , 6, and 7, the first bracket 1 includes a bracket limiting arm 19, and the driving arm 43-0 and the bracket limiting arm 19 are limited by the tooth groove structure. Figure 12 As shown, the driving arm 43-0 includes a first limiting groove 43-01 and a second limiting groove 43-02 arranged side by side and spaced apart at one end thereof, and an intermediate limiting protrusion 43-03 formed between the first limiting groove 43-01 and the second limiting groove 43-02; Figure 3 As shown, the bracket limiting arm 19 includes a first limiting protrusion 14 and a second limiting protrusion 15 arranged side by side and spaced apart, and an intermediate limiting groove 14-15 formed between the first limiting protrusion 14 and the second limiting protrusion 15; the first limiting protrusion 14, the second limiting protrusion 15 and the intermediate limiting groove 14-15 are respectively limited and cooperated with the first limiting groove 43-01, the second limiting groove 43-02 and the intermediate limiting protrusion 43-03.

[0062] Preferably, Figure 1 、 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, when the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the driving arm 43-0 first squeezes the bracket limiting arm 19 to cause it to undergo a certain deformation. After the locking mechanism 4 switches to the locked state, the driving arm 43-0 and the bracket limiting arm 19 complete the limiting cooperation, and the bracket limiting arm 19 is completely reset or partially reset to form a stable limiting cooperation between the driving arm 43 and the bracket limiting arm 19, so that the locking mechanism 4 can be reliably and stably maintained in the locked state.

[0063] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 -6, 9-10, the switching push plate 3 further includes a push plate driving platform 33. When the switching push plate 3 moves to the first position, the push plate driving boss 33 drives and cooperates with the first reed 51 of the first switch member 5, so that the first switch member 5 switches to the first working state. Figure 9 and 10 As shown, the push plate driven shoulder 32 and the push plate driving boss 33 are located at the same side edge of the switching push plate 3.

[0064] Preferably, Figure 1 、 4 -6, 9, 10, the switching push plate 3 includes a push plate passive shoulder 32. When the locking mechanism 4 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the driving arm 43-0 drives the switching push plate 3 to move from the first position to the second position through the push plate passive shoulder 32. Figure 9 and 10 As shown, the push plate actuated shoulder 32 includes a push plate actuated surface 32-0 and a push plate locking surface 32-1 that are connected by bending. The driving arm 43-0 drives the switch push plate 3 to move through the push plate actuated surface 32-0. The driving arm 43-0 and the push plate locking surface 32-1 limit the position and lock the switch push plate 3. Further, as Figure 7 As shown, the middle limiting protrusion 43-03 of the driving arm 43-0 abuts against and limits the push plate locking surface 32-1 to lock the switching push plate 3. Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the push plate actuated surface 32-0 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the switching push plate 3, and the angle between the push plate actuated surface 32-0 and the push plate locking surface 32-1 is an obtuse angle. When the driving arm 43-0 locks the switching push plate 3, the end face of the middle limiting protrusion 43-03 is parallel to the push plate locking surface 32-1 and is in limiting cooperation.

[0065] Preferably, Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 4, 6, and 10, the first bracket 1 includes a push plate locking arm 13, and the push plate locking arm 13 includes a push plate locking tooth; the switching push plate 3 includes a first locking groove 34 and a second locking groove 35. When the switching push plate 3 is in the first position, the push plate locking tooth cooperates with the first locking groove 34 in a limiting manner, and when the switching push plate 3 is in the second position, the push plate locking tooth cooperates with the second locking groove 35 in a limiting manner. The push-press locking tooth cooperates with the first locking groove 34 or the second locking groove 35 in a limiting manner, so that the switching push plate 3 can be reliably and stably maintained in the first position or the second position, and avoids the switching push plate 3 from being easily changed in position due to vibration or accidental touch, which affects the normal operation of the electric operating device. Further, as Figure 10As shown, the first locking groove 34 and the second locking groove 35 are arranged side by side and spaced apart at one side edge of the switching push plate 3 , and the push plate actuated shoulder 32 is arranged at the other side edge of the switching push plate 3 .

[0066] Preferably, Figure 8 As shown, the first bracket 1 includes a track hole 11 and a track groove 18; Figure 9 As shown, the switching push plate 3 includes a push plate limiting foot 31 and a push plate guide rib 36 respectively matched with the track hole 11 and the track groove 18. Figure 8 As shown, the track hole 11 and the track groove 18 are arranged side by side and spaced apart; Figure 9 As shown, the push plate limiting foot 31 and the push plate guide rib 36 are arranged on the same side of the switching push plate 3. Figure 8 As shown, the track hole 11 includes a track hole travel section 11-1 and a track hole insertion hole 11-0 provided at one end of the track hole travel section 11-1 and connected thereto. The track hole insertion hole 11-0 is a waist-shaped hole, and the track hole 11 is a T-shaped structure as a whole; Figure 9 As shown, the push plate limit foot 31 is a T-shaped structure as a whole, including a first section 31-0 of the limit foot and a second section 31-1 of the limit foot.
