Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of circuit breaker technology, and specifically relates to a transmission device for a circuit breaker. Background Technology
[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions, and capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. The transmission mechanism of a circuit breaker is an important component, transmitting the power of the motor to the circuit breaker's drive shaft to achieve closing and opening.
[0003] Traditional circuit breakers share the same drive shaft and output shaft of the transmission mechanism, necessitating the placement of the bulky operating mechanism alongside the circuit breaker, both horizontally and vertically. This results in the integration of two complex structures: the circuit breaker and the operating mechanism. Such circuit breaker transmission devices occupy significant cabinet space, and the complex structure and overly concentrated parts create numerous inconveniences for daily inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, they fail to meet the demands of future power grid lightweighting in terms of size, weight, reliability, and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The tripping energy storage mechanism includes a cam 8, coaxially connected to the large gear 5, and connected to a linkage transmission mechanism. The linkage transmission mechanism is connected to a connecting rod 13, which is connected to a spring fixing rod 14. A tripping spring 15 is mounted on the spring fixing rod 14, and a fixing nut 17 is mounted on the connecting rod 14 at one end of the tripping spring 15. A disc 16 is positioned between the fixing nut 17 and the tripping spring 15. The linkage transmission mechanism includes a roller rocker arm 9, one end of which is connected to a cam 8, and the other end of which is connected to a first connecting block 11 via a connecting rod 10. The connecting rod 10, the roller rocker arm 9, and the first connecting block 11 are all hinged. The first connecting block 11 is coaxially connected to a second connecting block 12, and the second connecting block 12 is connected to a connecting rod 13. The closing mechanism includes a closing button assembly, which is connected to one end of a closing connecting shaft 19. The other end of the closing connecting shaft 19 is provided with a first groove 20, which is connected to one end of a third connecting block 21. The other end of the third connecting block 21 is provided with a closing spring 7, and a crank arm 6 connected to the closing spring 7 is coaxially connected to the cam 8. The closing button assembly includes a first support body 24 and a first crossbar 26. The first support body 24 is disposed at one end of the closing connecting shaft 19. Two first arc-shaped grooves 25 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the first support body 24. The first crossbar 26 passes through the two first arc-shaped grooves 25. A closing button 27 is disposed on the outer side of the first support body 24. The opening mechanism includes an opening button assembly. The opening button assembly is connected to one end of the opening connecting shaft 18. The other end of the opening connecting shaft 18 is provided with a second groove 22. The second groove 22 is connected to one end of a fourth connecting block 23. The other end of the fourth connecting block 23 is connected to a roller rocker arm 9.The trip button assembly includes a second support body 28 and a second crossbar 30. The second support body 28 is located at one end of the trip connecting shaft 18. Two second arc-shaped grooves 29 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the second support body 28. The second crossbar 30 passes through the two second arc-shaped grooves 29. A trip button 31 is provided on the outside of the second support body 28.
[0029] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: The operator first activates the energy storage system and starts the drive motor 1. During the closing and energy storage process: the power from drive motor 1 is amplified in torque and reduced in speed by the worm gear reducer 2, and then transmitted to the coaxial pinion 4 via the output shaft 3. The pinion 4 meshes with the large gear 5, further amplifying the torque and reducing the speed. After two stages of reduction, a high-torque, low-speed output power is obtained. The large gear 5 transmits the torque to the crank arm 6 at the shaft end, and the crank arm 6 pulls the closing spring 7 to complete the closing and energy storage process. Opening energy storage: During the closing energy storage process, the cam 8, which is coaxial with the large gear 5, rotates clockwise. As the roller rocker arm 9 moves to the upper stop point of the cam 8, it pushes the roller rocker arm 9 to rotate counterclockwise. The roller rocker arm 9 is connected to the connecting rod 10 by a hinge. The connecting rod 10 is connected to the first connecting block 11 by a hinge. The roller rocker arm 9, the connecting rod 10, the first connecting block 11, and the support frame 32 together form a high-efficiency four-bar linkage mechanism, which transmits huge torque to the second connecting block 12. The other end of the second connecting block 12 pulls the connecting rod 13 to move. The connecting rod 13 compresses the opening spring 15 by driving the bottom disc 16 to complete the opening energy storage. Closing process: Press the closing button 27. The closing button 27 rotates clockwise along the first arc groove 25, which in turn drives the closing connecting shaft 19 to rotate. The closing connecting shaft 19 has a first groove 20. The third connecting block 21 was originally constrained by the first groove 20. When the closing connecting shaft 19 rotates, it rotates with the third connecting block 21. At this time, the third connecting block 21 loses its constraint on the cam 8. At this time, the closing spring 7 is released, and the cam 8 rotates counterclockwise. During the process of the roller rocker 9 moving to the upper stop of the cam, the power is transmitted to the connecting rod 13 through the four-bar linkage. The connecting rod 13 moves downward and transmits the power to the transmission shaft 33 through the cam mechanism 35 to complete the closing action. Opening process: Press the opening button 31. The opening button 31 rotates clockwise along the second arc-shaped groove 29, which in turn drives the opening connecting shaft 18 to rotate. The opening connecting shaft 18 has a second groove 22. The fourth connecting block 23 was originally constrained by the second groove 22. When the opening connecting shaft 18 rotates, it rotates with the fourth connecting block 23. At this time, the fourth connecting block 23 loses its constraint on the roller rocker arm 9. During the process of the roller rocker arm 9 moving to the upper stop of the cam, the power is transmitted to the connecting rod 13 through the four-bar linkage. The connecting rod 13 moves upward and transmits the power to the transmission shaft 33 through the cam mechanism 35, completing the opening action.
