[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device that can close, carry and disconnect current under normal circuit conditions, and close, carry and disconnect current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. Circuit breakers are divided into high-voltage circuit breakers and low-voltage circuit breakers according to their scope of use. The boundary between high and low voltage is relatively vague, and those above 3kV are generally called high-voltage electrical appliances. The main functions of circuit breakers include distributing electrical energy, starting asynchronous motors infrequently, and protecting power lines and motors. When a serious overload or short circuit or undervoltage fault occurs, the circuit breaker can automatically cut off the circuit. Its function is equivalent to a combination of a fuse switch and an over- and under-temperature relay.

[0030] The setting of the connecting component 8 enables the first gear 43 to be movably connected to the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 or the inner wall of the circuit breaker cover 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the first gear 43 easily rubbing against the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 or the inner wall of the circuit breaker cover 2 and causing abnormal noise in the traditional technology, accelerating the probability of friction damage between the first gear 43 and the circuit breaker box body 1, and improving the service life of the equipment.

[0031] In order to prevent the ball 83 from falling off from the second plate 82 and the first plate 81, the connecting assembly 8 includes a first plate 81 sleeved on the rotating shaft 41 and keyed, a second plate 82 sleeved on the rotating shaft 41 and keyed, and a ball 83 installed on the second plate 82 and the first plate 81 together.

[0032] The protection mechanism 5 includes a rotary toggle switch 51 arranged in the circuit breaker box body 1, a second gear 52 fixed on the rotary toggle switch 51, a line connector block 53 arranged in the circuit breaker box body 1, a wireless module 54 fixed in the circuit breaker box body 1, a controller 55 fixed in the circuit breaker box body 1 and a control circuit 56 arranged in the circuit breaker box body 1.

An L-shaped block 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1. A rack 91 that slides with the L-shaped block 9 is penetrated by the L-shaped block 9, and the rack 91 is meshed with the second gear 52 and the first gear 43.

[0033] The moving contact mechanism 3 includes a moving contact mechanism 3 plate rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 and a moving connection contact 32 fixed to the moving contact mechanism 3 plate away from one end of the rotating shaft of the moving contact mechanism 3 plate. A static contact 33 is arranged at a position of the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 corresponding to the moving connection contact 32.

A mounting groove is provided on one side of the moving contact mechanism 3 plate away from the outer cover 2 of the circuit breaker, a coil spring is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove (the mounting groove and the coil spring are not shown in the figure), and the other end of the coil spring is fixed to the rotating shaft of the moving contact mechanism 3 plate. An electromagnetic coil protection mechanism 11 is provided on the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 near its bottom, and the electromagnetic coil protection mechanism 11 is connected to the sliding contact fixing plate 10 through a connection line 12. A current detection sensor is provided in the electromagnetic coil protection mechanism 11, and the other end of the moving contact mechanism 3 is connected to the outlet terminal on the circuit breaker box body 1.

[0034] In order to ensure that there is no problem of automatic power-on when maintaining the circuit breaker, the electric control mechanism 6 includes an electric control part switch 61 that is inserted through the side wall of one side of the circuit breaker box body 1 and slidably matched, and an insulating sheet (not shown in the figure) fixed to one end of the electric control part switch 61 located in the circuit breaker box body 1. The line connector block 53 includes two joint blocks, each of which is slidably provided with a steel ball, each steel ball is connected to the corresponding joint block through a compression spring 15, and the insulating sheet is located between the two joint blocks. When maintaining the circuit breaker, when the electric control part switch 61 pushes the insulating sheet to insert into the line connector block 53, the electric control part is powered off, which improves the safety of operation.

[0035] The side wall of the elliptical lifting plate 42 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 421, and a connecting wire 422 is fixed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 421 near the position of the moving contact mechanism 3 plate. The free end of the connecting wire 422 is fixed with an armature 423 that can be attracted by the electromagnetic coil protection mechanism 11 when the current of the connected line 12 is too high. The electromagnetic coil protection mechanism 11 is provided with a current detection sensor, which is installed on the connected line 12 and is used to monitor the current size of the connected line 12 in real time; the current detection sensor and the electromagnetic coil are both electrically connected to the main control module of the controller 55; when the current detection sensor detects that the current of the connected line 12 is too high, the main control module controls the electromagnetic coil to be energized, and then attracts the armature 423 downward, at which time the armature 423 drives the elliptical lifting plate 42 to rotate through the connecting wire 422, thereby disconnecting the contact between the moving contact mechanism 3 and the static contact 33, and realizing power failure of the line.

[0036] A limiting assembly 13 is provided in the circuit breaker box body 1 to prevent the connecting wire 422 from shaking and causing the connecting wire 422 to escape from the arc-shaped groove 421. The limiting assembly 13 includes a fixing rod 131 fixed to the inner wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 and a fixing ring 132 fixed to the end of the fixing rod 131. The connecting wire 422 passes through the fixing ring 132 and cooperates with the fixing ring 132.

[0037] Fixed blocks 1321 are fixed on both sides of the fixed ring 132. A cylinder 14 is sleeved on the fixed ring 132 to match the fixed block 1321. The inner wall of the cylinder 14 is provided with a slide groove 141 for sliding fit of the fixed block 1321. A spring 15 is fixed at the bottom of the fixed block 1321. The lower end of the spring 15 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the slide groove 141. A vertical groove 16 is provided on one side of the cylinder 14 for the fixed rod 131 to slide. When the moving contact mechanism 3 contacts the static contact 33 and the line is connected, the fixed ring 132 plays a good limiting role on the connecting wire 422. With the cooperation of the deadweight of the armature 423, the probability of the connecting wire 422 being separated from the arc-shaped groove 421 is reduced. When the current detection sensor detects that the current of the connected line 12 is too high, the main control module controls the electromagnetic coil to be energized, thereby attracting the armature 423 downward, which may cause the cylinder 14 to move up and down. During this process, the spring 15 vibrates, and the fixed block 1321 cooperates with the cylinder 14 to make the cylinder 14 reciprocate, thereby enhancing the stability of the connecting line 422 during this process.

[0038] The operating assembly 7 includes a central shaft 71 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the circuit breaker box 1 and a manual switch 72 fixedly sleeved on the central shaft 71 and meshed with one of the first gears 43. When the manual switch 72 is pulled downward, the manual switch 72 drives the elliptical lifting mechanism 4 to rotate clockwise, so that the moving contact mechanism 3 and the static contact 33 are closed, and the rack 91 pushes the second gear 52 to rotate clockwise, thereby pulling the rotary toggle switch 51 to the closed position; when the manual switch 72 is pulled upward, the moving contact mechanism 3 and the static contact 33 are disconnected, and the rack 91 pushes the second gear 52 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby pulling the rotary toggle switch 51 to the disconnected position.

[0039] One end of the rotating shaft of the rotary toggle switch 51 passes through the side wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 and is rotatably connected. A time-division zone groove 17 is provided on the outer wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 near the rotating shaft of the rotary toggle switch 51. A knob 18 for indicating the time-division zone groove 17 is fixed to one end of the rotary toggle switch 51 located outside the circuit breaker box body 1. A guide rod 19 and a threaded rod 20 are fixed to the outer wall of the circuit breaker box body 1 near the knob 18. A limit ring 21 that is clearance-matched with the guide rod 19 and the threaded rod 20 is sleeved on the guide rod 19. A nut 22 that is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20 is sleeved on the threaded rod 20. Two nuts 22 are provided and distributed on both sides of the limit ring 21. A card slot 211 that is snap-fitted with the knob 18 is provided on the limit ring 21.

[0040] The setting principle of the time zone notch 17 is similar to the time scale on a fan with a timing function, which plays a good indicating role for the rotary toggle switch 51, so that the circuit breaker has a timing function. In addition, when the staff loosens the nut 22, so that the slot 211 on the limit ring 21 is engaged with the knob 18, the rotation of the rotary toggle switch 51 can be limited, thereby ensuring that the circuit breaker is in a normally open state, so that the circuit breaker can be used in a situation where it needs to be normally open.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
