Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of technology, specifically to an outdoor intelligent circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions and closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. Circuit breakers are classified into high-voltage and low-voltage circuit breakers according to their application range. The boundary between high and low voltage is somewhat blurred; generally, those above 3kV are considered high-voltage electrical appliances. Circuit breakers can be used to distribute electrical energy, infrequently start asynchronous motors, and protect power lines and motors. When serious overloads, short circuits, or undervoltage faults occur, they can automatically disconnect the circuit. Their function is equivalent to a combination of a fuse switch and over / under-temperature relays. Moreover, generally, no parts need to be replaced after interrupting a fault current. They have gained widespread application. In the operation of an intelligent circuit breaker, the mechanism is always in the pre-stored energy position. As soon as the circuit breaker receives a closing command, it can immediately and instantaneously close. The release of the pre-stored energy is accomplished by a button or a closing electromagnet. The electric drive mechanism is self-contained, with the energy storage shaft and main shaft connected by a concave-convex wedge joint, making assembly and disassembly convenient. Most existing power transmission user circuit breakers are vertical structures, and the reset operation after a power outage is often performed in an exposed energized state, which affects the safety of operators and has poor practicality.

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an outdoor intelligent circuit breaker to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an outdoor intelligent circuit breaker, comprising a support base and a circuit breaking mechanism. Multiple insulating poles are obliquely fixed to the upper ends of the left and right side surfaces of the support base via connecting flanges. A V-shaped connecting rod is fixed to the side of each insulating pole away from the support base. A Y-shaped limiter is laterally movable on the side of the connecting rod away from the insulating pole via a locking pin. A U-shaped arc-extinguishing cover is movably arranged between two adjacent limiters. The circuit breaking mechanism includes a limiting disc, a trip unit, and a connecting rod. The limiting disc is vertically movably arranged between two limiters below the arc-extinguishing cover via a hook. Two L-shaped adjustment holes are penetrated through the side of the limiting disc. A positioning hole is longitudinally penetrated through the side of the limiting disc on one side of the adjustment hole. One end of the trip unit is movably arranged on the side of the limiting disc via a pin passing through the adjustment hole. The connecting rod is vertically movably arranged on the outside of the limiting disc via a safety pin fitted inside the positioning hole.

[0005] Preferably, a C-shaped assembly plate is longitudinally fixed at each of the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the support base and integrated with the support base into a whole.

[0006] Preferably, the upper part of the support base is formed into an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and the set inclination angle between the insulating pole and the support base is 45 degrees.

[0007] Preferably, the limiter is composed of a flow guide and a connecting rod that runs through its interior, and the relative rotation angle between the flow guide and the arc extinguishing cover of the limiter is in the range of 30-75 degrees.

[0008] Preferably, the release device is composed of a V-shaped combined slide rod and a positioning block on the side of the hook. The end of the release device away from the limiting plate is movably connected to the connecting rod of the limiter and the rotation angle range is 0-45 degrees.

[0009] Preferably, the punching rod is an insert-type insulating cylindrical structure, and the swing angle range between the punching rod and the limiting disc via the safety pin is -30 to 30 degrees.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] Adopting a V-shaped connection structure, the trip unit, together with the limiting plate, is placed inside the limiter and the arc extinguishing chamber. This effectively reduces sparks during live work to ensure personnel safety. During the re-energization operation, the lifting of the punching rod, in conjunction with the adjusting hole of the limiting plate and the trip unit, completes the punching connection operation after the power failure within the cavity of the positioning block. This ensures connection safety while facilitating quick reset operations, resulting in good performance. Attached Figure Description
