Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit protectors, and more particularly to a protector that integrates a fuse and a circuit breaker module. Background Technology
[0002] A fuse is an electrical device that breaks the circuit by melting its fusible element when the current exceeds a specified value. Fuses have a high breaking capacity (some specifications can reach 200kA), strong current limiting capability, and low allowable energy. However, a fuse needs to be replaced with a new fusible element after it blows to function properly.
[0003] A circuit breaker is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting circuits under normal circuit conditions, and capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. After interrupting a fault current, a circuit breaker generally can be used again without replacing any parts. However, its breaking capacity is not strong, its breaking time is long, and its current-limiting capacity is weak.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following problems exist: Circuit breakers and fuses are generally used as two independent working modules, and even when they are installed on the circuit, they are arranged separately, requiring additional lines for connection. This is not conducive to overcoming the inherent shortcomings of fuses and circuit breakers, and is also not conducive to circuit layout. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problem that circuit breakers and fuses cannot overcome their own shortcomings and are not conducive to line layout when used as two independent working modules, this invention provides a protector that integrates a fuse and a circuit breaker module.
[0006] The present invention provides a protector that integrates a fuse and a circuit breaker module, employing the following technical solution: A protector integrating a fuse and a circuit breaker module includes a fuse and a circuit breaker; the circuit breaker includes a circuit breaker housing; the fuse includes a fuse housing and a fuse carrier; the fuse carrier is vertically inserted into the fuse housing from top to bottom; a pair of connecting seats are formed on the end face of the circuit breaker housing near the fuse housing; a pair of connecting slots for horizontal insertion of the connecting seats are formed on the end face of the fuse housing near the circuit breaker; a pair of connecting screws are vertically inserted into the fuse housing; the connecting screws are screwed into the corresponding side of the connecting slot. On the connecting seat within the connecting slot; a circuit breaker plug contact extends from the lower end of the end face of the circuit breaker housing near the fuse housing; a contact groove is formed at the lower end of the end face of the fuse housing near the circuit breaker for horizontal insertion of the circuit breaker plug contact; a strip-shaped contact is provided at the lower end of the interior of the fuse housing; an integrated connecting screw is provided on the strip-shaped contact; a connection operation hole is formed at the lower end of the fuse housing for vertical passage of the integrated connecting screw; the strip-shaped contact and the circuit breaker plug contact are connected by the integrated connecting screw.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a pair of connection sockets of the circuit breaker are inserted into a pair of connection slots of the fuse, and then a pair of connection screws are screwed through the fuse housing and onto the corresponding connection sockets. This connects the circuit breaker and the fuse together. Then, the integrated connection screw passes through the connection operation hole to connect the strip contact and the circuit breaker plug contact to complete the circuit connection between the circuit breaker and the fuse. This eliminates the need for additional wiring layout. When the line is overloaded, the circuit breaker will activate, and after the problem is resolved, it can be restored simply by closing the circuit breaker without replacing the fuse element. When there is a short circuit, the fuse will activate, and the fuse element will melt quickly with a short breaking time. At the same time, it has strong breaking capacity, strong current limiting capacity, and low allowable energy, overcoming the shortcomings of the two as independent working modules.
[0008] Optionally, a terminal block is provided inside the fuse housing at the end away from the circuit breaker; a resiliently configured load contact is provided at the end of the terminal block near the circuit breaker; a clearance groove is formed on the side wall of the fuse carrier; an upper contact of the fuse carrier is provided in the clearance groove; the upper contact of the fuse carrier is used to abut against the load contact; a stationary contact is provided at the upper end of the strip contact; a lower contact of the fuse carrier is provided at the bottom of the fuse carrier; the lower contact of the fuse carrier is used to abut against the stationary contact.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the fuse connects the circuit by having the lower contact of the fuse carrier at the bottom contact with the stationary contact and the upper contact of the fuse carrier on the side wall contact with the load contact on the terminal block.
[0010] Optionally, the fuse housing has an interlocking mechanism inside at one end near the circuit breaker; the circuit breaker also includes a reset lever swinging on the upper end of the circuit breaker housing and a reset lifting seat vertically and elastically movable; the reset lifting seat and the reset lever are linked; through the linkage structure, the reset lifting seat swings to drive the reset lifting seat to rise and fall; a pressure block is formed on the upper end face of the reset lifting seat near the fuse; the pressure block extends out of the circuit breaker housing and a first moving groove is formed on the circuit breaker housing for the pressure block to move vertically; a second moving groove is formed on the end face of the fuse housing near the circuit breaker housing for the pressure block to move vertically; the interlocking mechanism is located between the pressure block and the fuse carrier; when the fuse carrier is not installed in place, the interlocking mechanism restricts the pressure block from moving downward.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the interlocking mechanism can ensure that the circuit breaker's reset lever cannot be reset when the fuse carrier is not installed in place, thus ensuring that the fuse carrier is installed in place and preventing mistaken installation.
[0012] Optionally, the sidewall of the molten material is formed with a protrusion, and the lower end is formed with a sliding groove; the sliding groove consists of a horizontal groove and a pair of vertical grooves; the pair of vertical grooves are provided with openings at the lower sides of both ends of the horizontal groove and at the lower end of one of the vertical grooves; the interlocking mechanism includes a horizontally swinging limit block and a vertically elastically movable vertical limit seat; the vertical limit seat includes a vertically movable seat; the horizontal limit block is located between the vertically movable seat and the molten material; the upper end of the vertically movable seat is formed with an insertion limit groove for horizontal insertion of the horizontal limit block; the end of the vertically movable seat away from the molten material is formed with a driving abutment block, and the end near the molten material is formed with a horizontal extension seat; the end of the horizontal extension seat away from the vertically movable seat is formed with a cylindrical sliding column that mates with the sliding groove; the pressure block abuts against the upper end of the driving abutment block; the protrusion is used to drive the horizontal limit block to swing horizontally.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fuse carrier is not installed in place, the horizontal limiting block is inserted into the insertion limiting groove of the vertical moving seat. At this time, the vertical limiting seat cannot move downward, and thus the pressure block cannot move downward either. When the fuse carrier is vertically inserted into the fuse housing from top to bottom, the sliding column is inserted into the vertical groove at the lower end of the sliding groove. Then, the fuse carrier is rotated. During this process, the sliding column moves along the horizontal groove of the sliding groove, and the protrusion of the fuse carrier drives the horizontal limiting block to swing horizontally, thus disengaging the horizontal limiting block. The vertical moving seat has an insertion limiting groove, so that the vertical limiting seat is in a free state in the vertical direction and the load contact abuts against the contact on the fusible link. Then, the pressure block moves down and drives the vertical limiting seat to move down through the driving abutment block. In this way, the sliding column moves vertically along another vertical groove of the sliding groove until the sliding column abuts against the bottom of this vertical groove of the sliding groove. This completes the locking of the fusible link. Through the above operation, when the circuit breaker is reset, the fusible link is installed in place and locked, ensuring the positional stability of the fusible link during operation.
[0014] Optionally, a connecting spring is fixed to the upper end face of the strip contact; the connecting spring is sleeved on the stationary contact and its outer diameter is smaller than the bottom diameter of the molten metal carrier.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper end of the connecting spring abuts against the bottom of the molten metal carrier. This prevents the molten metal carrier from colliding with the stationary contact during installation, and allows the molten metal carrier to automatically extend upwards during disassembly, making it easy to remove.
[0016] Optionally, a connection signal assembly is provided inside the fuse housing; the connection signal assembly includes a circuit board fixed to the upper part of the fuse housing; a connection signal lamp bead is connected to the upper surface of the circuit board; the upper end of the fuse housing is formed with light-transmitting holes with upper and lower openings that cooperate with the connection signal lamp bead; a first wire and a second wire are connected to the circuit board; the other end of the first wire is connected to the terminal block; the other end of the second wire is connected to the strip contact.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fuse carrier is installed in place, the fuse carrier, terminal block, first wire, circuit board, second wire, strip contact, and stationary contact form a circuit. When the connection indicator light is lit, it indicates that the fuse carrier is in place; when the connection indicator light is off, it indicates that the fuse carrier is not in place, making it easy to confirm whether the fuse carrier is installed in place.
[0018] Optionally, the strip contact has a vertically oriented through-hole with openings at both ends near the circuit breaker; a connecting nut coaxially arranged with the vertical through-hole is provided on the upper surface of the strip contact; the integrated connecting screw passes vertically through the vertical through-hole from bottom to top and is screwed onto the connecting nut; the circuit breaker plug contact has a U-shaped locking groove that mates with the integrated connecting screw at the end near the strip contact.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, as the circuit breaker plug contact head is horizontally inserted, the locking groove is fitted onto the integrated connecting screw. Then, by rotating the integrated connecting screw, the circuit breaker plug contact head can be made to fit tightly against the strip contact head, ensuring that the circuit of the fuse and the circuit breaker is connected.
[0020] Optionally, an elastic washer is fitted onto the integrated connecting screw; the circuit breaker plug contact is located between the elastic washer and the strip contact.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of the elastic washer can further ensure the connection stability of the circuit breaker plug contact and strip contact.
[0022] Optionally, the integrated connecting screw includes an integrated screw body; the head of the integrated screw body is injection molded with a plastic plug.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the plastic plug can block the connection and operation hole of the fuse housing, thus preventing dust and leakage.
[0024] Optionally, the plastic block is formed with a plurality of axially distributed annular grooves; a sealing ring is provided in the groove.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring improves the sealing effect of the plastic plug.
[0026] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The integration of fuses and circuit breakers can be achieved without additional wiring layout. When the line is overloaded, the circuit breaker will activate, and the problem can be resolved by simply closing the circuit breaker without replacing the fuse element. When there is a short circuit, the fuse will activate, and the fuse element will melt quickly with a short breaking time. At the same time, it has strong breaking capacity, strong current limiting capacity, and low allowable energy, overcoming the shortcomings of the two as independent working modules.

The other end of the second wire 44 is connected to the strip contact 15.
[0047] The working principle of the protector integrating a fuse and circuit breaker module of this application is as follows: When connecting fuse 10 and circuit breaker 30, a pair of connectors 36 are aligned with a pair of connector slots, and the circuit breaker contact 35 is aligned with the contact slot 110. Then, they are brought close together so that the connectors 36 are horizontally inserted into the connector slots and the circuit breaker contact 35 is horizontally inserted into the contact slot 110. Next, a pair of connecting screws pass vertically from front to back through fuse housing 11 and are screwed onto the connectors 36. Finally, the integrated connecting screws 19 are tightened so that the circuit breaker contact 35 and the contact slot are aligned. The two contacts 15 are tightly attached to each other, thus completing the connection between the fuse 10 and the circuit breaker 30. This integration of the fuse 10 and the circuit breaker 30 can be achieved without additional wiring layout. When the line is overloaded, the circuit breaker 30 will activate, and the problem can be resolved by simply closing the circuit breaker without replacing the fuse element of the fuse 10. When there is a short circuit, the fuse 10 will activate, and the fuse element will melt quickly with a short breaking time. At the same time, it has strong breaking capacity, strong current limiting capacity, and low allowable energy, overcoming the shortcomings of the two as independent working modules.
[0048] When the fusible link 20 is loaded, the horizontal limiting block 17 is inserted into the insertion limiting groove 1810 of the vertical moving seat 181. At this time, the vertical limiting seat 181 cannot move downward, so the pressure block 341 cannot move downward either. When the fusible link 20 is vertically inserted into the fuse housing 11 from top to bottom, the sliding column 1831 is inserted into the vertical groove at the lower end opening of the sliding groove 200. Then the fusible link 20 is rotated. During this process, the sliding column 1831 moves along the horizontal groove of the sliding groove 200, and the protrusion 21 of the fusible link 20 drives the horizontal limiting block 17 to swing horizontally. In this way, the horizontal limiting block 17 disengages from the vertical moving seat 181. The insertion limiting slot 1810 of 1 is installed, so that the vertical limiting seat 18 is in a free state in the vertical direction and the load contact 14 abuts against the contact 22 on the fuse element. Then, the pressure block 341 moves down and drives the vertical limiting seat 18 to move down through the driving abutment block 182. In this way, the sliding column 1831 moves vertically along another vertical groove of the sliding groove 200 until the sliding column 1831 abuts against the bottom of this vertical groove of the sliding groove 200. This completes the locking of the fuse element 20. Through the above operation, when the circuit breaker 30 is reset, the fuse element 20 is installed in place and locked, ensuring the positional stability of the fuse element 20 during operation. When the fuse carrier 20 is installed in place, the fuse carrier 20, terminal block 13, first wire 41, circuit board 42, second wire 44, strip contact 15, and stationary contact 16 form a circuit. When the connection indicator light 43 is lit, it indicates that the fuse carrier 20 is in place. When the connection indicator light 43 is off, it indicates that the fuse carrier 20 is not in place, which makes it easy to confirm whether the fuse carrier 20 is installed in place.
[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
