Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides an electrically operated mechanism for a circuit breaker, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the circuit breaker includes a worm gear 4, with a worm wheel 5 on one side. The worm gear 4 meshes with the worm wheel 5, converting the rotational motion of the motor into the required operating force, thus improving transmission performance. This design makes the operation of the operating mechanism smoother and reduces unnecessary vibration and noise. A transmission component 6 is mounted on one side of the worm wheel 5, with one end rotatably connected to the center of the worm wheel 5. The other end of the transmission component 6 is connected to a rotating component 9 via a transmission link 7. A moving contact 11 is connected to one side of the rotating component 9 via a linkage 10, and a stationary contact 12 is located on the outer side of the moving contact 11. This linkage enables a rapid response to the circuit breaker, improving operational reliability. This structural design makes the operating mechanism more accurate and timely in performing circuit breaker operations, reducing the possibility of operational errors. Both the rotating component 9 and the moving contact 11 are mounted via a bracket 8.

[0021] In this embodiment, a central shaft 51 is installed at the center of the worm gear 5. The central shaft 51 is rotatably connected to one end of the transmission component 6. The other end of the transmission component 6 is provided with a connecting hole 61. One end of the transmission connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 61, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the transmission component 6.

[0022] Specifically, a circular groove is provided on one side of the worm gear 5, and a boss 52 is installed on the inner side wall of the circular groove. When the worm gear 5 rotates, it drives the boss 52 to move, thereby driving the transmission component 6 to rotate.

[0023] Furthermore, the rotating component 9 is provided with a shaft hole 91, a button connecting rod connecting hole 92, a transmission connecting rod connecting hole 93, and a linkage hole 94.

[0024] Furthermore, the bracket 8 is installed inside the circuit breaker housing. One end of the bracket 8 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 91, and the other end of the bracket 8 is rotatably connected to the moving contact 11, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the bracket 8.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the linkage 10 is rotatably connected to the linkage hole 94, and the other end of the linkage 10 is rotatably connected to the moving contact 11, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the linkage 10.

[0026] Furthermore, a button link 2 is connected to the button link connection hole 92, and a button 1 is installed on the outer end of the button link 2. The button 1 can be used to open and close the gate.

[0027] Furthermore, the worm gear 4 is driven to rotate by the geared motor 3, which facilitates the electric control of the opening and closing of the gate.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components in the geared motor 3 involved in this embodiment are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle part of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected by wires respectively. The specific connection method should refer to the working order between each electrical component in the above working principle to complete the electrical connection. They are all technologies known in the art.

[0029] When the circuit breaker electric operating mechanism of the present invention is in use, the reduction motor 3 first drives the worm gear 5 to rotate counterclockwise. The boss 52 on the worm gear 5 pushes the transmission component 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating component 9 to rotate through the transmission link 7, causing the moving contact 11 to contact the stationary contact 12, thereby closing the mechanism. After the contacts are closed, the worm gear 5 rotates clockwise to reset, and the boss 52 returns to its original position. This is to make room for the transmission component 6, so that the button 1 can be manually opened and closed freely. The reduction motor 3 drives the worm gear 5 to rotate clockwise, and the boss 52 on the worm gear 5 pushes the transmission component 6 to rotate clockwise, which drives the transmission link 7 to pull the rotating component 9 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby unlocking the mechanism to open the circuit. After opening the circuit, the worm gear 5 rotates counterclockwise to reset, and the boss 52 returns to its original position. This is to make room for the transmission component 6, so that the button 1 can be manually opened and closed freely.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
