Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of circuit breakers, and specifically relates to a circuit breaker assembly. Background Art

[0002] A circuit breaker refers to a switching device that can close, carry, and interrupt the current under normal circuit conditions and can also close, carry, and interrupt the current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. Circuit breakers are classified into high-voltage circuit breakers and low-voltage circuit breakers according to their application scope. The boundary between high and low voltages is relatively blurred. Generally, electrical appliances above 3 kV are called high-voltage electrical appliances. Circuit breakers can be used to distribute electric energy, start asynchronous motors infrequently, and protect power supply lines and motors, etc. When they encounter serious overload, short circuit, undervoltage and other faults, they can automatically cut off the circuit. Its function is equivalent to the combination of a fuse switch and an over- and under-thermal relay, etc. Moreover, generally no parts need to be changed after breaking the fault current. At present, it has been widely used.

[0003] In the actual application process of existing circuit breakers, restricted by the use environment, when the circuit breaker is used for a long time, friction will occur between electrical connection components, and then a large amount of heat is easily generated, increasing the internal resistance of the electrical connection components. Subsequently, it is found in the subsequent use process that although the electrical connection components are separated from contact, creepage still occurs, and finally safety accidents occur to the circuit breaker.

After long - term use, the gold - plating layer of the electrical connection component will become thinner, further increasing the resistance of the electrical connection component. Secondly, it also increases the heat generation of the circuit. And in the subsequent use process, it is found that through the insulating plate 14 and the insulating sleeve 8, stable arc extinguishing can be achieved when the power is cut off, and the creepage phenomenon can be avoided. And by rotating the insulating plate 14, the electrical connection between the spring piece 3 and the contact ring 18 can be actively cut off.

The handle 101 is rotatably embedded in one side of the outer wall of the shell 1. The bottom end of the handle 101 is fixedly arranged at the top center of the outer wall of the driving gear 12 through a rotating shaft. The outer wall of the limiting plate 4 is fixedly provided with a protective shell 13. The protective shell 13 can ensure that the support spring 5 has good working stability, the spring piece 3 will not tilt, and the protective shell 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the spring piece 3, and the inner wall of the protective shell 13 is fixedly provided with a support spring 5, and the bottom end of the support spring 5 is fixedly provided at the top of the outer wall of the spring piece 3. The support spring 5 can make the spring piece 3 stably electrically connected to the contact ring 18, and the spring piece 3 and the power end are electrically connected during actual use. The wire is connected to the outer wall of the spring piece 3 by bolts and nuts. Guide rods 7 are fixedly provided at the corners of the inner wall of the shell 1, and the guide rods 7 can realize stable movement of the insulating shell 2, and the insulating shell 2 can be moved stably during movement. After that, the air gap generated by the insulating shell 2 and the mounting plate 15 will further increase the resistance value between the spring piece 3 and the contact ring 18 to avoid arcing and creepage, and one end of the guide rod 7 penetrates the outer wall corner of the insulating shell 2, and the starting component is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1. The starting component includes a pull rod 102, a buckle 103, a limiting frame 104 and an extrusion plate 105. The top of the buckle 103 can be rotated to facilitate continuous clamping of the pull rod 102. The limiting frame 104 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the shell 1, and the extrusion plate 105 is fixedly arranged on the pull rod 1 02, the buckles 103 are fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, the two ends of the pull rod 102 are rotatably embedded in the inner wall of the limiting frame 104, the outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with insulating sleeves 8 through openings on both sides, the inner wall of the shell 1 is fixedly provided with drive rails 6 on both sides, and the inner wall of the drive rail 6 is slidably embedded with limiting rods 9, the top of the limiting rod 9 is fixedly provided with a lifting block 10, and the outer wall of the lifting block 10 is attached to the outer wall of the extrusion plate 105, the contact ring 18 is provided with a conductive area and an insulating area, the conductive area of ​​the contact ring 18 is provided with a recess, and one end of the spring piece 3 is in an arc shape.

[0035] Working principle: First, install the outer shell 1 into the electrical cabinet. Then, electrically connect the power supply cable to the contact ring 18 through the power connection hole 17, and electrically connect the power-consuming end cable to the elastic piece 3. When power connection is required, drive the pulling rod 102 so that the pressing plate 105 applies pressure to the lifting block 10, causing the limiting rod 9 to move inside the driving rail 6, making the insulating shell 2 drive the limiting plate 4 and the insulating plate 14 to move towards the mounting plate 15. Finally, make the outer wall of the insulating plate 14 fit against the mounting plate 15. Then, drive the driving gear 12 to rotate through the handle 101, and the driven gear 11 drives the outer wall of the insulating plate 14 to rotate. When the telescopic hole 401 and the contact hole 1401 are aligned with each other, the support spring 5 presses the elastic piece 3, causing one end of the elastic piece 3 to be electrically connected to the contact ring 18. After the electrical connection is completed, the pulling rod 102 fits against the buckle 103, and the buckle 103 is rotated to complete the clamping of the pulling rod 102. Subsequently, the electrical connection is completed. When there is a break in the circuit, the insulating plate 14 rotates, causing the elastic piece 3 to retract into the telescopic hole 401 to complete the circuit break. Subsequently, a gap is generated between the insulating sleeve 8 and the mounting plate 15 to ensure that no electric arc will be generated..
