[0004] In daily life, some circuit breakers are directly placed in environments with a lot of water mist, such as bathrooms and kitchens. The water mist absorbs heat during the rising process to form water droplets, which are distributed on the circuit breaker and can easily enter the interior of the circuit breaker, causing the circuit breaker to short-circuit, posing a safety hazard. For this reason, we design a closing mechanism for the circuit breaker to increase the waterproof performance of the circuit breaker. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The specific implementation of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a digital circuit breaker electromagnetic closing mechanism includes: a circuit breaker body 10, on which a handle 11 is provided to open or close the circuit breaker body 10; a cover body 20, which is movably mounted on the circuit breaker body 10 to cover the handle 11; a connecting component 30, whose two ends are respectively connected to the cover body 20 and the handle 11; a first driving device 40, which drives the cover body 20 to move, and drives the handle 11 through the connecting component 30 to open or close the circuit breaker.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, when it is necessary to open or close the gate, the cover body 20 is driven to move by the first driving device 40, and the opening or closing action can be achieved without directly turning the handle 11, and the cover body 20 can always cover the handle 11 to prevent water mist from rising and absorbing heat to form water droplets attached to the handle 11, thereby preventing water from entering the circuit breaker and causing a short circuit.

[0028] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the cover 20 can slide up and down along the height direction of the circuit breaker body 10 , and the circuit breaker body 10 can be opened or closed by sliding the cover 20 upward or downward without touching the handle 11 .

[0029] likeFigure 3 As shown, sliding grooves 12 are formed on two opposite sides of the circuit breaker body 10, and the cover body 20 is provided with a sliding part 21 that slidably cooperates with the sliding grooves 12.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting component 30 is a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the cover body 20, and the other end is hinged to the handle 11. When the cover body 20 slides upward or downward, one end of the connecting rod rotates relative to the cover body 20, the other end rotates relative to the handle 11, and the included angle with the handle 11 changes, realizing the function of driving the handle 11 to rotate.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the first driving device 40 is two electromagnets I 41. The two electromagnets I 41 repel each other when energized. One electromagnet I 41 is fixedly arranged on the circuit breaker body 10, and the other electromagnet I 41 is fixedly arranged on the cover body 20. Wires (not shown in the figure) are provided on the two electromagnets 41. After the two electromagnets 41 are energized, a repulsive phenomenon occurs, forcing the cover body 20 to slide upward, thereby driving the handle to rotate upward to realize the opening action. When powered off, the cover body 20 slides downward under the action of gravity, driving the handle to rotate downward to realize the closing action. It should be noted that by changing the current direction, the two electromagnets 41 attract each other, which can quickly make the cover body 20 descend. When the two electromagnets 41 are always in the state of attracting each other, the movement of the cover body 20 can be restricted.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, an opening 22 is formed between the lower end of the cover body 20 and the circuit breaker body 10. The cover body 20 is provided with a bottom structure 50 for opening or closing the opening 22, and further includes a second driving device 60 for driving the bottom structure 50 to open or close the opening 22. When the bottom structure 50 closes the opening 22, the upward sliding of the cover body 20 can be restricted. When the bottom structure 20 opens the opening 22, the cover body 20 can be driven to slide upward to realize the opening action.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom structure 50 includes a T-shaped plate 51 slidably connected to the cover body 20 and an elastic member 52 connected between the T-shaped plate 51 and the inner wall of the cover body 20.

[0034] Specifically, the second driving device 60 is two attracting electromagnets II 61. One electromagnet II 61 is fixed on the T-shaped plate 51, and the other electromagnet II 61 is fixed on the cover body 20. When the two electromagnets II attract each other, the elastic member 52 is compressed to open the opening 22. After the two electromagnets II are powered off, the opening 22 is closed under the action of the elastic member 52.

[0035] A digital intelligent circuit breaker electromagnetic closing method, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step S10: Energize the two second electromagnets 61 so that the two second electromagnets 61 attract each other and open the opening 22;

[0037] Step S20: Energize the two first electromagnets 41 so that the cover body 20 slides up and down relative to the circuit breaker body 10, and drives the handle 11 through the connecting assembly 30 to perform the opening or closing operation.
