Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shunt trip devices, and particularly to a shunt trip device with indication. Background Art

[0002] Miniature circuit breakers applied in the fire protection field need to be matched with shunt trip devices. The purpose is to forcibly disconnect the circuit remotely when a fault such as a fire occurs in the load controlled by the miniature circuit breaker, reducing unnecessary economic losses.

[0003] Existing shunt trip devices do not have an indication function. Therefore, when the shunt trip device trips the circuit breaker, it is impossible to determine whether the circuit breaker trips by itself or by the shunt trip device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shunt trip device with indication to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.

[0006] A shunt trip device with indication, characterized by comprising a trip device housing, a trip assembly, and an indicating member. An indication window is provided on the trip device housing. The trip device assembly includes a trip main board and a linkage block. The indicating member and the trip main board are rotatably arranged on the trip device housing, and the indicating member is arranged on one side close to the wall surface of the trip device housing. The indicating member is linked with a driving member. In a non-tripping state, the driving member is in a locked state. In a tripping state, the indicating member is unlocked from the driving member, and the indicating member rotates and displays the tripping state in the indication window. A first torsion spring is provided on the indicating member for energy storage and driving the indicating member to rotate and reset in a tripping state. A linkage portion is arranged inside the trip main board and is linked with the indicating member. When the indicating member rotates in a tripping state, the trip main board rotates in the same direction as it and drives the handle to trip. The linkage block is rotatably connected to the trip main board and is linked with the circuit breaker. In a tripping state, the linkage block rotates and drives the circuit breaker to trip. When the circuit breaker closes and trips, the indicating member is not exposed in the indication window. A second torsion spring for resetting is provided on the rotation shaft portion of the trip main board, and a third torsion spring for resetting is sleeved on the linkage block.

[0007] The present invention is further provided with a linkage board arranged on the trip main board. The linkage board abuts against or separates from the linkage block and is arranged on one side close to the indicating member. The linkage board is connected to the handle through a connecting pin. A first connection hole for connecting to the trip main board and a second connection hole for connecting the connecting pin are formed on the linkage board. When the indicating member drives the trip main board to rotate towards the handle side, the linkage board rotates synchronously with the trip main board and pulls the connecting pin to trip the handle.

[0008] The present invention is further configured to further include an electromagnetic system. When tripping, the electromagnetic system drives the driving member and the linkage block to rotate, so that the indicating member is unlocked from the driving member, and at the same time drives the linkage block to trip the circuit breaker.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the linkage block has a sleeving space for sleeving on the trip main board. Both sides of the sleeving space are formed with sleeving holes, and the sleeving holes are located on both sides of the trip main board and are aligned with the holes on the trip main board in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the linkage block has a first acting arm that cooperates with the electromagnetic system and a third acting arm that cooperates with the linkage plate. The electromagnetic system acts on the first acting arm; the driving member has a second acting arm that cooperates with the electromagnetic system.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the electromagnetic system acts on the first acting arm and the second acting arm simultaneously.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The principle of the present invention is as follows: When the shunt trip releases, the electromagnetic system drives the driving member and the linkage block to rotate. Among them, the driving member is unlocked from the indicating member, so that the indicating member moves towards the handle side under the action of the first torsion spring. At this time, the indicating member is located within the indicating window to indicate the tripped state; at the same time, since the indicating member is linked with the trip main board through the linkage part provided inside the trip main board, the linkage plate is driven to achieve handle opening; when the linkage block rotates, the circuit breaker connected to the outside is tripped; and the self-opening and closing of the circuit breaker will not cause the indicating member to give an indication.

[0020] The following will cooperate with the drawings and embodiments to elaborate in detail on the implementation mode of the present application, so as to fully understand how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve the realization process of technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0021] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present invention is a shunt trip unit with indication, including a trip unit housing 10, a tripping assembly 30 and an indicator 40. An indicator window is provided on the trip unit housing 10. The tripping assembly includes a tripping main board 301 and a linkage block 302. The indicator 40 and the tripping main board 301 are rotatably arranged on the trip unit housing 10, and the indicator 40 is arranged on one side close to the wall surface of the trip unit housing 10. The indicator 40 is linked and connected with a driving part 303. In the non-tripping state, the driving part 303 of the indicator 40 is in a locked state. In the tripping state, the indicator 40 and the driving part 303 are unlocked, the indicator 40 rotates and displays the tripping state in the indicator window. A first torsion spring 70 is arranged on the indicator 40 for energy storage and driving the indicator 40 to rotate and reset in the tripping state; a linkage part 3011 is arranged inside the tripping main board 301 and is linked with the indicator 40. When the indicator 40 rotates in the tripping state, the tripping main board 301 rotates in the same direction as it and drives the handle 60 to trip; the linkage block 302 is rotatably connected to the tripping main board 301 and is linked and connected with the circuit breaker. In the tripping state, the linkage block 302 rotates and drives the circuit breaker to trip. When the circuit breaker closes and trips, the indicator 40 is not exposed in the indicator window. A second torsion spring 80 for resetting is arranged on the rotating shaft part 3012 of the tripping main board 301, and a third torsion spring 90 for resetting is sleeved on the linkage block 302.

[0022] The present invention further includes a linkage plate 304 disposed on the trip main board 301. The linkage plate 304 abuts against or separates from the linkage block 302 and is disposed close to the indicating member 40. The linkage plate 304 is connected to the handle 60 through a connecting pin 50. A first connection hole 3041 for connecting to the trip main board 301 and a second connection hole 3042 for connecting the connecting pin 50 are formed on the linkage plate 304. When the indicating member 40 drives the trip main board 301 to rotate towards the handle 60, the linkage plate 304 rotates synchronously with the trip main board 301 and at the same time pulls the connecting pin 50 to trip the handle 60.

[0023] The present invention further includes an electromagnetic system 20. During tripping, the electromagnetic system 20 drives the driving member 303 and the linkage block 302 to rotate, so that the indicating member 40 is unlocked from the driving member 303, and at the same time drives the linkage block 302 to trip the circuit breaker.

[0024] The linkage block 302 has a sleeving space 302a for sleeving on the trip main board 301. Sleeve holes 3023 are formed on both sides of the sleeving space 302a. The sleeve holes 3023 are located on both sides of the trip main board 301 and are aligned with the holes on the trip main board 301.

[0025] The linkage block 302 has a first action arm 3021 for cooperating with the electromagnetic system 20 and a third action arm 3022 for cooperating with the linkage plate 304. The electromagnetic system 20 acts on the first action arm 3021; the driving member 303 has a second action arm 3031 for cooperating with the electromagnetic system 20.

[0026] The electromagnetic system 20 acts on the first action arm 3021 and the second action arm 3031 simultaneously.

[0027] The principle of the present invention is as follows: When the shunt trip releases, the electromagnetic system 20 drives the driving member 303 and the linkage block 302 to rotate. Among them, the driving member 303 is unlocked from the indicating member 40, so that the indicating member 40 moves towards the handle 60 under the action of the first torsion spring 70. At this time, the indicating member 40 is located in the indicating window to indicate the trip state; at the same time, since the indicating member 40 and the trip main board 301 are linked through the linkage portion 3011 provided inside the trip main board 301, the linkage plate 304 is driven to trip the handle 60; when the linkage block 302 rotates, the circuit breaker connected to the outside is tripped; and the self-tripping and closing of the circuit breaker will not cause the indicating member 40 to give an indication.
