However, such controller modules are relatively large and have an overly complex structural design. They occupy a large amount of space within the circuit breaker, occupying the installation space of the circuit breaker's main circuit during installation.

[0024] 7. In the controller installation structure of the Internet of Things circuit breaker provided by the present invention, temperature sensors for detecting temperature information of the circuit breaker main circuit are provided at both ends of the bottom of the base.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] This embodiment provides Figure 1-5 A controller installation structure for an Internet of Things circuit breaker is shown, comprising:

[0037] The housing 1 includes a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 spaced apart from each other. The opening of the first chamber 11 is located at the top side of the housing 1, and the opening of the second chamber 12 is located at the bottom side of the housing 1.

[0038] The control assembly includes a drive controller 2 and a communication controller 3 installed in the first chamber 11 from bottom to top, and a power controller 4 installed in the second chamber 12. The drive controller 2 and the communication controller 3 are detachably connected. The power controller 4 is electrically connected to the drive controller 2 through a first connection structure and is used to provide working power to the drive controller 2. Such an installation layout allows the main circuit of the circuit breaker to pass between the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4. Since the power controller 4 is connected to the power supply line, according to the design of the existing power supply line, power can be taken from the incoming line end of the circuit breaker or by external wiring. Both methods can power the drive controller. It should be understood that the drive controller 2 is mainly used to intelligently control the circuit breaker to realize its own protection functions, such as overload protection, short circuit protection, over-voltage and under-voltage protection, etc. The communication controller 3 is used to receive and send various instructions and parameter information, which can realize the functions of remote control, telemetry, and remote adjustment of the circuit breaker.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the control components are divided into a drive controller 2, a communication controller 3 and a power controller 4. The drive controller 2 and the communication controller 3 are installed as a whole in the first chamber of the shell 1, and the power controller 4 is installed in the second chamber of the shell 1. The drive controller 2 and the power controller 4 of this structural arrangement are installed separately and independently in two chambers, which is conducive to reducing the size of the core drive controller 2 and reserving more space inside the circuit breaker. After the structural layout is reasonably optimized, the main circuit passes between the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4, so as not to interfere with the main circuit of the circuit breaker. The position of the circuit makes the internal structure of the product more compact. At the same time, the power line is directly passed through the bottom of the circuit breaker into the second chamber 12 and connected to the power controller 4. The power controller 4 provides the drive controller 2 with the power required for operation. This design avoids the traditional method of passing the power line into the circuit breaker for wiring, simplifies the installation structure, and the drive controller 2, communication controller 3 and power controller 4 of the present technical solution are independently installed and disassembled in their respective chambers, which is convenient for installation and maintenance, and makes the production, sales and maintenance of the product modular and convenient, thereby improving installation efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] Combine Figure 2-3As shown, an insulating partition 5 is provided between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and an installation gap 6 is formed between the drive controller 2 and the insulating partition 5. The main circuit of the circuit breaker includes a three-phase conductive plate 9 passing through the installation gap 6. The drive controller 2 designed in this way is significantly smaller in size after being installed separately from the power controller 4, and the power controller 4 is installed in the second chamber 12 on the bottom side of the shell 1, so that the installation gap 6 provides a position space for the three-phase conductive plate 9 to pass through the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4, so that the drive controller 2 installed in the first chamber 11 will not interfere with the position of the three-phase conductive plate. The structural layout design is reasonable and the installation is convenient.

[0041] In order to ensure the phase-to-phase safety distance between the three-phase conductive plates 9, two limit baffles 51 are arranged in parallel on the insulating partition 5, and the bottom of the drive controller 2 is fitted and abutted against the two limit baffles 51. This limit baffle 51 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, which can play a role in limiting the installation of the drive controller 2 in the first chamber 11. The two limit baffles 51 cooperate with the drive controller 2 to divide the installation gap 6 into three limit grooves 61, so that the three-phase conductive plates 9 pass through the three limit grooves 61 respectively. This structural setting uses the three limit grooves 61 to insulate and separate the three-phase conductive plates 9 in sequence, increase the phase-to-phase creepage distance, and ensure the safety of the three-phase main circuit of the circuit breaker.

[0042] Further preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the insulating partition 5 extends from the top of the second chamber 12 to the right in a stepped manner to form a groove section 13, and a transformer assembly 8 located on one side of the drive controller 2 is arranged in the groove section 13. The groove section 13 provides the transformer assembly 8 with the required installation space, and the transformer assembly 8 is provided with three groups on the three-phase conductive plate 9. Each group of the transformer assembly 8 includes a current transformer and a metering transformer. Such a transformer assembly 8 is electrically connected to the drive controller 2, and is used to collect current information of the main circuit of the circuit breaker and send it to the drive controller 2 through the current transformer, and is used to collect electrical quantity parameter information of the main circuit of the circuit breaker through the metering transformer and send it to the drive controller, thereby realizing the function of collecting current information and electrical quantity parameter information of the circuit breaker.

[0043] The following combination Figure 2-4 Detailed description of the specific settings of the drive controller and power controller:

[0044] The first connection structure includes a channel structure 7 that connects the drive controller 2 and the second chamber 12 through the insulating partition 5, and a wiring harness connector that connects the power controller 4 and the drive controller 2 through the channel structure 7. The channel structure 7 is used to build a connection channel between the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4, so that the wiring harness connector connected to the power controller 4 is connected to the drive controller 2 through the channel structure 7. This wiring harness connector is connected to the power controller 4 and the drive controller 2 by using a connector, thereby realizing the circuit connection between the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4. The channel structure 7 can ensure the isolation and closure between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and can also ensure the sealing and safety of the wiring harness connector connected between the drive controller and the power controller.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the power controller 4 is mainly a power circuit board fixed in the second chamber 12. The drive controller 2 includes a first mounting shell 21 with a closed structure, a control mainboard 22 installed in the first mounting shell 21, and a plurality of connector ports 23 opened on the side of the first mounting shell 21 and connected to the control mainboard 22. The control mainboard 22 has a data information processing function, and uses it as the core to control other devices in the circuit breaker through lines or protocols. According to the circuit breaker, it is provided with functional circuits to realize its different functional roles (functional circuits include current information acquisition circuits, metering information acquisition circuits, temperature information acquisition circuits, gate position information detection circuits, trip protection circuits, etc.), and these functional circuits are plugged into the multiple connector ports 23 of the drive controller 2 in the form of connectors, so that the drive controller 2 and the functional circuits are electrically connected, thereby realizing the functions of information collection and intelligent control of the circuit breaker. With this structural setting, the drive controller 2 and the functional wiring harness are quickly installed and connected in the form of connectors, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0046] according to Figure 2 and Figure 4The specific setting method of the channel structure is described in detail: the channel structure 7 includes a tapered through hole 71 provided on the insulating partition 5 and connected to the second chamber 12, and a hollow pillar 72 corresponding to the tapered through hole 71 provided at the bottom of the first mounting shell 21. One end of the hollow pillar 72 is connected to the tapered through hole 71, and the other end thereof is connected to the inner cavity of the first mounting shell 21. This tapered through hole 71 has a guiding function. The advantage of such a design is that the channel structure 7 is formed by connecting the tapered through hole 71 and the hollow pillar 72, so that the wiring harness connector is passed through the tapered through hole 71 and the channel structure 7 and connected to the first mounting shell 21 and the second chamber 12 respectively, and the electrical connection between the control mainboard 22 and the power controller 4 is realized through the wiring harness connector. Such a design facilitates the installation connection between the drive controller 2 and the power controller 4, and has good installation protection.

[0047] The following combination Figure 2-4 Detailed description of the specific settings of the communication controller and drive controller:

[0048] The communication controller 3 includes a second mounting shell 31 with a closed structure, and at least one communication circuit board 32 and a display assembly 33 installed in the second mounting shell 31, and a carrier module 35 that is pluggable and connected to the communication circuit board 32. The second mounting shell 31 is provided with a display window 34 corresponding to the display assembly 33. The display assembly 33 consists of a display book and a display screen. The second mounting shell 31 is also provided with an installation slot corresponding to the carrier module 35, that is, when the carrier module 35 is inserted into the installation slot, it forms a plug-in connection with the communication circuit board 32. The carrier module 35 is used to transmit the analog or digital signals of the circuit breaker at high speed, thereby realizing the communication connection between the circuit breaker and the smart grid system and the Internet of Things cloud platform, so that the controller device can realize the functions of remote control, telemetry and remote adjustment of the circuit breaker according to signal instructions.

[0049] As a specific structural arrangement, an electrical contact assembly is provided between the drive controller 2 and the communication controller 3 to establish an electrical connection between the two. The electrical contact assembly includes: a contact plug 30 disposed at the bottom of the second mounting shell 31 and connected to the communication circuit board 32, and a corresponding contact socket 20 disposed at the top of the first mounting shell 21 and connected to the control main board 22. The contact plug 30 and the contact socket 20 form a plug-in fit. As can be seen from the above structure, the drive controller 2 and the communication controller 3 are connected via the contact plug 30 and the contact socket 20. The contact plug 30 is provided with conductive pins, and the contact socket 20 is provided with conductive sockets that mate with the conductive pins. This contact plug 30 and the contact socket 20 are designed using the connector principle to achieve quick plug-in and pull-out connection, and have excellent electrical and mechanical properties. This structural arrangement realizes a modular installation design for the drive controller and the communication controller in the first chamber, resulting in a simple installation structure and eliminating the traditional flexible connection method. This facilitates maintenance and repair of circuit breaker products and mass production assembly, improving installation efficiency.

[0050] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2-3 As shown, the shell 1 includes a base 101 and a middle seat 102, the first chamber 11 is formed between the base 101 and the middle seat 102, and its opening is set at the top of the middle seat 102, and the communication controller 3 is matched and connected at the opening of the first chamber 11; the second chamber 12 is formed on the base 101, and its opening is set at the bottom of the base 101, and a cover 14 for covering the second chamber 12 is set at the opening of the second chamber 12, and the power controller 4 in the second chamber 12 is covered by the cover 14, thereby protecting the power controller 4 in the second chamber. In summary, the control main board 22 is installed in the closed first mounting shell 21, and the communication circuit board 32 is installed in the closed second mounting shell 31, while the power controller 4 is installed in the closed second chamber 12. Since the first chamber 11 is connected to the internal space of the circuit breaker, this design can seal the control main board 22, the communication circuit board 32 and the power controller 4 from the first chamber, thereby preventing the free gas generated by the disconnection in the circuit breaker from carrying metal particles to contact the control main board, the communication circuit board and the power controller, thereby protecting the power controller, drive controller and communication controller installed in their respective chambers and extending the service life of the product.

[0051] like Figure 5As shown, temperature sensors 103 for detecting the temperature of the circuit breaker's main circuit are provided at both ends of the bottom of the base 101. Specifically, the temperature sensor 103 contacts the three-phase conductive plate 9 to detect the temperature of the circuit breaker's main circuit. The temperature sensor 103 is connected to the second chamber 12 via a transmission line and is connected to the power controller 4. This power controller is mainly composed of a power circuit board and electronic components. Since the power controller is electrically connected to the drive controller, the circuit connection between the temperature sensor 103 and the drive controller 2 is achieved through the power controller 4. In addition, the opening of the second chamber is located on the bottom side of the housing, and the connection distance is short, which makes installation and connection convenient and efficient. In this structural arrangement, the temperature sensor transmits the collected temperature information to the drive controller. When the drive controller determines that the temperature information exceeds the safety set value, it controls the circuit breaker to trip and disconnect the power supply of the main circuit, ensuring the safe use of the circuit breaker and facilitating the intelligent control of the circuit breaker. Obviously, the above embodiment is merely an example for clear explanation and is not intended to limit the implementation method. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications may be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
