When an overcurrent or overvoltage operation occurs, the circuit breaker is automatically controlled by the overcurrent protection unit and the overvoltage protection unit to complete the opening operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] See also Figures 1-16 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0054] An intelligent circuit breaker capable of remotely controlling opening and closing of the circuit breaker via a mobile phone comprises a control terminal 1 and a circuit breaker housing 2. A circuit breaker mechanism is provided inside the circuit breaker housing 2 to implement the opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker. The control terminal 1 controls the circuit breaker mechanism via a remote control system. The circuit breaker mechanism comprises:

[0055] The overcurrent protection unit 3 is arranged inside the circuit breaker housing 2 and connected to the upper terminal of the circuit breaker, and performs control operations when encountering an overcurrent condition;

[0056] The overvoltage protection unit 4 is arranged inside the circuit breaker housing 2 and connected to the lower terminal of the circuit breaker, and performs control operations when encountering an overvoltage situation.

[0057] The arc extinguishing unit 5 includes an arc extinguishing chamber 51, and a smooth arc extinguishing electrode 52 is installed below the arc extinguishing chamber 51, and the bottom end of the arc extinguishing electrode 52 is connected to the upper metal sheet 53 through the connecting unit 6. The upper metal sheet 53 is electrically connected to the overcurrent protection unit 3 and the overvoltage protection unit 4 when the circuit breaker is closed, and the rotation operation of the upper metal sheet 53 is completed by the operating mechanism 7, and the extending end of the upper metal sheet 53 is provided with an extension part 54.

[0058] By providing a circuit-breaking mechanism, when an overcurrent or overvoltage operation occurs, the overcurrent protection unit 3 and the overvoltage protection unit 4 are used to realize automatic control of the circuit breaker to complete the opening operation, and the upper metal sheet 53, the contact plate 65, the connecting sheet 64, the connecting plate 61 and the arc extinguishing electrode 52 are used to form a connected transmission surface to complete the guidance and removal operation of the instantaneous arc, thereby effectively improving the safety of the circuit breaker and solving the safety hazards caused by the arc. At the same time, it avoids the problem that the arc cannot be introduced into the arc extinguishing chamber due to the gap or detachment caused by the rotation of the metal sheet.

[0059] See also Figure 3-Figure 5 , the overcurrent protection unit 3 includes:

[0060] The frame 31 is installed above the inside of the circuit breaker housing 2, and a cylindrical core 32 is slidably provided through the inner space and bottom of the frame 31, and an electromagnetic coil 33 is evenly wound on the surface of the cylindrical core 32;

[0061] The static contact 34 is mounted on the bottom side of the frame 31 , and the upper terminal of the electromagnetic coil 33 is electrically connected to the upper terminal, and the lower terminal of the electromagnetic coil 33 is electrically connected to the end of the static contact 34 .

[0062] Among them, the cylindrical iron core 32 is composed of a thick cylinder and a push rod. The push rod and the frame 31 pass through and slide, and a return spring is sleeved on the surface of the push rod. The end of the return spring is fixed to the opposite side of the thick cylinder and the frame 31, so as to realize the downward movement operation of the cylindrical iron core 32 when overcurrent occurs.

[0063] When an overcurrent occurs, the current at this time will increase several times, causing the electromagnetic coil 33 to produce an electromagnetic reaction and drive the cylindrical iron core 32 to move downward. The cylindrical iron core 32 pushes the control frame 71 to rotate, thereby realizing the power-off operation. At this time, the arc generated by the power-off will be transmitted to the arc extinguishing chamber 51 along the upper metal sheet 53, contact plate 65, connecting plate 64, connecting plate 61 and arc extinguishing electrode 52 to form a connected transmission surface for segmentation processing until it is eliminated.

[0064] See also Figure 7 , the overvoltage protection unit 4 includes:

[0065] The lower metal sheet 41 is connected to the upper metal sheet 53 via a fuse and bends when the temperature rises.

[0066] The lower bracket piece 42 is fixed to and electrically connected to the lower metal piece 41 , and an end of the lower bracket piece 42 is electrically connected to the lower terminal.

[0067] When an overvoltage occurs, the temperature of the lower metal sheet 41 will increase until it exceeds a threshold value, causing it to bend and press the lever 68 downward. At this time, the lever 68 drives the rotation of the control frame 71 to achieve the power-off operation. At this time, the arc generated by the power-off will be transmitted along the upper metal sheet 53, contact plate 65, connecting plate 64, connecting plate 61 and arc-extinguishing electrode 52 to form a connected transmission surface and be transmitted to the arc-extinguishing chamber 51 for segmentation processing until it is eliminated.

[0068] See also Figure 5-Figure 6 , the operating mechanism 7 includes:

[0069] The control frame 71 is rotatably mounted inside the circuit breaker housing 2 via a support shaft, and a moving contact is mounted on the side opposite to the upper metal sheet 53 , while a pulling assembly 72 is provided on the lower side of the control frame 71 and the lower side of the upper metal sheet 53 ;

[0070] The handle 73 is rotatably mounted inside the circuit breaker housing 2 and extends to the outer shell of the circuit breaker housing 2. The handle 73 is connected to the control frame 71 via a convex ring 74. The convex ring 74 and the handle 73 are rotatably mounted. The convex ring 74 moves in a groove provided at the rear end of the control frame 71. A curved spring 76 is installed on the surface of the convex ring 74 and the convex column 75 on the side of the frame 31.

[0071] See also Figure 6 , the pulling assembly 72 includes:

[0072] The I-shaped ring 721 rotates on one side with the middle extension of the bottom of the upper metal plate 53, and moves in contact with the bottom of the control frame 71 on the other side;

[0073] The telescopic spring 722 is sleeved in the middle of the I-shaped ring 721 , and one side contacts the bottom of the control frame 71 to achieve the operation of pressing the telescopic spring 722 when the I-shaped ring 721 and the upper metal sheet 53 rotate relative to each other.

[0074] See also Figure 7-10 and Figure 12-16 , the connection unit 6 includes:

[0075] The connecting plate 61 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the arc-extinguishing electrode 52. A wrapping block 62 is installed on the rear side of the connecting plate 61. The end of the upper metal sheet 53 rotates with the inner wall of the wrapping block 62. The interior of the connecting plate 61 is connected to a connecting piece 64 via a sliding component 63. A contact plate 65 is rotatably installed inside the connecting plate 61. The bottom side of the contact plate 65 is always in close contact with the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53. The surface of the contact plate 65 slides on the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53 via a moving component 66. A balancing component 67 is provided on the side of the connecting piece 64 close to the contact plate 65 to control the position of the connecting piece 64.

[0076] The lever 68 passes through the control frame 71 and can slide relative to the control frame 71 , and the lever 68 rotates between the extension member 54 . At the same time, a baffle 69 is installed at the bottom end of the lever 68 , and the baffle 69 contacts the end of the lower metal sheet 41 .

[0077] By providing a connecting unit 6, while the upper metal sheet 53 rotates, the L-shaped plate 661 and the movable column 662 move in the movable groove 663, so that the contact plate 65 is located on the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53 and moves and maintains continuous contact with the upper metal sheet 53. The direction of the contact plate 65 changes, and the connecting plate 64 moves downward so that the bottom edge of the connecting plate 64 contacts the right side of the contact plate 65 or the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53, thereby realizing that the upper metal sheet 53, the contact plate 65, the connecting plate 64, the connecting plate 61 and the arc extinguishing electrode 52 form a connected transmission surface, which can not only avoid the pulling caused by the rotation of the upper metal sheet 53, but also maintain a continuous electrical transmission surface between the upper metal sheet 53 and the arc extinguishing electrode 52, thereby improving the smoothness and safety during arc guiding.

[0078] See also Figure 15 The sliding assembly 63 includes a slider 631 symmetrically fixedly mounted on the connecting piece 64, and a sliding groove 632 adapted for sliding the slider 631 is provided on the inner side of the connecting plate 61 and in contact with the connecting piece 64, and the sliding of the slider 631 in the sliding groove 632 realizes the vertical movement operation of the connecting piece 64.

[0079] Furthermore, a return spring may be installed on the top of the slider 631 and on the opposite side of the slide groove 632 to provide downward force for the slider 631 .

[0080] See also Figure 13-14 The moving component 66 includes an L-shaped plate 661 symmetrically installed on both sides of the contact plate 65, and symmetrical moving columns 662 are respectively installed on the opposite sides of the L-shaped plate 661. A moving groove 663 adapted to accommodate the movement of the moving column 662 is opened on the opposite side of the upper metal sheet 53, and the moving column 662 moves inside the moving groove 663 to realize the movement of the contact plate 65 on the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53 and maintain continuous contact with the upper metal sheet 53.

[0081] See also Figure 15-16 The balancing assembly 67 includes a balancing piece 671, which is provided with a placement slot 672 on the side of the connecting piece 64 close to the contact plate 65, and the balancing piece 671 is rotated at the lower side of the placement slot 672, and an arc spring 673 is installed between the balancing piece 671 and the placement slot 672 to drive the balancing piece 671 to rotate.

[0082] When the upper metal sheet 53 is higher on the right side and lower on the left side, the balancing sheet 671 on the connecting sheet 64 contacts the right side surface of the contact plate 65. Conversely, the balancing sheet 671 on the connecting sheet 64 directly contacts the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53, and the bottom edge of the connecting sheet 64 also directly contacts the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53.

[0083] See also Figure 11 , the extension member 54 includes:

[0084] The extension plate 541 has a rotating rod 542 fixed to the groove of the extension plate 541 , and the rotating rod 542 and the lever 68 rotate through each other;

[0085] An extension groove 543 is provided at the extension of the bottom surface of the upper metal plate 53, and the extension plate 541 slides inside the extension groove 543, and sliding bars 544 are installed on both sides of the extension plate 541, and horizontal grooves 545 adapted to the sliding of the sliding bars 544 are provided on the opposite side of the extension groove 543.

[0086] By providing the extension piece 54, whether the rotation of the control frame 71 is achieved by automatic control or the rotation of the control frame 71 caused by overcurrent and overvoltage, the upper metal sheet 53 will rotate accordingly, thereby avoiding the problem of relative rotation between the upper metal sheet 53 and the control frame 71 generating tension that causes the upper metal sheet 53 to be pulled or bent, making the operation of the circuit breaker smoother, safer, and more convenient.

[0087] The remote control system includes a mobile phone terminal and a wireless transmission module, and the wireless transmission module transmits the instructions of the mobile phone terminal to the control terminal 1 through the 5G network, and uses the control terminal 1 to drive the handle 73 in the circuit breaker housing 2 to perform opening and closing operations.

[0088] By setting up a remote control system, the mobile phone is used to generate control instructions for the circuit breaker, and the instructions are transmitted based on the 5G network transmitted between the mobile phone and the circuit breaker. After the instructions are received by the control terminal 1, the handle is controlled to complete the opening or closing operation.

[0089] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0090] During operation, the mobile phone or control panel is used to transmit the command, and then the command is transmitted to the control terminal 1 through the wireless transmission module to control the opening and closing operation of the handle 73 in the circuit breaker;

[0091] When the handle 73 is closed downward, the convex ring 74 drives the control frame 71 to rotate, and the control frame 71 drives the extension of the curved spring 76, while the I-shaped ring 721 drives the compression of the telescopic spring 722. The moving contact on the control frame 71 presses the upper metal plate 53 to rotate, and the upper metal plate 53 is separated from the static contact 34, thereby completing the upper side electrical separation operation;

[0092] During the rotation of the upper metal sheet 53, the extended end of the upper metal sheet 53 rotates between the extension plate 541 and the lever 68, and the sliding bar 544 slides in the horizontal groove 545 to move the extension plate 541 along the extension direction of the metal sheet, and the lever 68 also moves downward.

[0093] As the upper metal sheet 53 rotates, the L-shaped plate 661 and the movable column 662 move in the movable groove 663, so that the contact plate 65 located on the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53 moves and maintains continuous contact with the upper metal sheet 53. At the same time, as the direction of the contact plate 65 changes, the connecting piece 64 moves downward so that the bottom edge of the connecting piece 64 contacts the right side of the contact plate 65 or the top surface of the upper metal sheet 53, thereby realizing that the upper metal sheet 53, the contact plate 65, the connecting piece 64, the connecting plate 61 and the arc-extinguishing electrode 52 form a connected transmission surface;

[0094] When an overcurrent occurs, the current will increase several times, causing the electromagnetic coil 33 to produce an electromagnetic reaction, which drives the cylindrical iron core 32 to move downward. The cylindrical iron core 32 then actuates the rotation of the control frame 71, thereby achieving a power-off operation. At this time, the arc generated by the power-off will be transmitted along the transmission surface formed by the upper metal sheet 53, the contact plate 65, the connecting piece 64, the connecting plate 61 and the arc-extinguishing electrode 52 to the arc-extinguishing chamber 51 for segmentation processing until it is extinguished.

[0095] When an overvoltage occurs, the temperature of the lower metal sheet 41 will rise until it exceeds a threshold value, causing it to bend and press the lever 68 downward. At this time, the lever 68 drives the rotation of the control frame 71 to achieve the power-off operation and simultaneously complete the arc removal operation.
