Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, and particularly to an electromagnetic leakage protection circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] Leakage protection circuit breakers have functions of overload protection, short-circuit protection and leakage protection, that is, they have the functions of both circuit breakers and leakage protectors. Therefore, leakage protection circuit breakers are commonly used protection devices in electrical circuits and are widely used in mobile electrical equipment and hand-held power tools; electrical equipment installed in harsh places such as humid and strongly corrosive environments; electrical construction machinery and equipment at construction sites; socket circuits in buildings such as schools, enterprises and residences; underwater lighting equipment in swimming pools, fountains and bathtubs; power supply lines and equipment installed in water; electrical medical equipment in hospitals that directly contacts the human body, etc. There are various situations for a leakage circuit breaker to trip, such as caused by overload, short circuit or leakage. Therefore, even when the leakage circuit breaker is in the tripped state, users cannot clearly determine whether it trips due to leakage. Thus, it brings certain difficulties to subsequent maintenance and operation and has some impacts on use.
[0003] To solve the above problems, existing leakage protection circuit breakers have a leakage indication function. Their closing of the circuit breaker and the leakage tripping part is achieved through a set of operating mechanisms, resulting in too much force on the tripping latch and locking latch at the operating mechanism. The locking part is prone to wear and uneven stress, leading to high material requirements and great processing difficulty. It is easy to fail during use, and further results in low product stability. There is a Chinese patent with the patent number CN201420392245.9 and the patent name "A leakage circuit breaker", which discloses "A leakage circuit breaker, including a housing (1), an operating mechanism, a contact mechanism, and a leakage tripping device (2). The operating mechanism cooperates with the contact mechanism. The operating mechanism includes a tripping latch and a locking latch (3). It is characterized in that: it further includes a leakage indication mechanism. The leakage indication mechanism includes a rotating arm (4), a lever (5), and an indicating button (6). The indicating button (6) is slidably mounted up and down in the housing (1). The indicating button (6) includes a first position extending out of the housing (1) and a second position buried in the housing (1). The rotating arm (4) is hinged below the indicating button (6) and includes a force-receiving end (41) and a pushing end (42). The pushing end (42) contacts the lower end of the indicating button (6). A first elastic member (7) is connected to the rotating arm (4). The lever (5) is hinged in the housing (1) and includes a pressing end (51) and a clamping end (52). One side of the pressing end (51) corresponds to the leakage tripping device (2), and the other side is in pressing cooperation with the force-receiving end (41). The clamping end (52) is in clamping cooperation with the indicating button (6). A second elastic member (8) is connected to the lever (5). The leakage tripping device (2) pushes the pressing end (51) to rotate and press the force-receiving end (41) to rotate, driving the clamping end (52) to rotate and disengage from the indicating button (6). The rotation of the force-receiving end (41) drives the pushing end (42) to push the indicating button (6) upward to pop out to form the first position. Pressing the indicating button (6) slides downward to be in clamping with the clamping end (52) and presses the pushing end (42) to drive the force-receiving end (41) to rotate and correspond to the pressing end (51) to form the second position, and the rotating arm (4) cooperates with the locking latch (3).". When the circuit breaker is closed, it is still necessary to press the indicating button (6) to make the leakage tripping device close, which is troublesome and inconvenient to operate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetic leakage protection circuit breaker with a stable operating mechanism, convenient closing, uniform force on each component in the leakage tripping mechanism, and stable tripping.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided: An electromagnetic leakage protection circuit breaker includes a housing, a housing cover, a short-circuit protection unit, an arc extinguishing device, a test device, a contact assembly, and an operating device for opening or closing the circuit breaker.

The leakage tripping mechanism includes a base installed in the second chamber, an electromagnetic release, a release lever, a retaining plate, a spring seat, a positioning member, and a reset member. The base is provided with a first connecting column pivotally connected to the release lever, and a second connecting column pivotally connected to the reset member is provided below the first connecting column on the base. A first limiting groove is opened on the release lever, and a first torsion spring is sleeved on the reset member, with one end located in the first limiting groove and abutting against the outer wall of the second connecting column, and the other end abutting against the end of the reset member. A third connecting column is provided at one end of the base close to the handle. A second torsion spring is sleeved on the third connecting column, with one end abutting against the upper end of the release lever and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the base. A boss is provided on the base, and a positioning groove adapted to the boss is opened on the spring seat. Fourth and fifth connecting columns are provided on the base and pass through the spring seat and are located at both ends thereof respectively. A connecting shaft penetrates through the base, and the retaining plate is pivotally connected to the connecting shaft. The retaining plate is provided with an abutting end that is in limiting cooperation with the release lever. An installation groove is opened on the spring seat, and a pressure relief spring is installed in the installation groove. One end of the pressure relief spring abuts against the inner wall of the installation groove, and the other end abuts against the retaining plate. A sixth connecting column pivotally connected to the positioning member is provided below the spring seat on the base. A second limiting groove adapted to the end of the positioning member is opened on the retaining plate. A transmission head that is in cooperation and limiting with the transmission assembly is provided on one side of the retaining plate facing the transmission assembly. A transmission foot that is in transmission cooperation with the transmission assembly is provided on the reset member; The transmission assembly includes a transmission handle coaxially arranged with the handle and pivotally connected to the inside of the housing, a connecting rod connected to the transmission handle, a jump buckle connected to the other end of the connecting rod, a rotating frame pivotally connected to a connecting shaft, and a locking buckle pivotally connected to the rotating frame and cooperating with the jump buckle for limiting. A third torsion spring for resetting the transmission handle after rotation is sleeved on the transmission handle. A travel groove cooperating with the transmission head is formed on one side of the locking buckle facing the transmission head. A convex column is provided on the rotating frame, and a fourth torsion spring for limiting the locking buckle is sleeved on the convex column. A hanging hole is formed on the rotating frame. A fixed shaft is inserted into the second chamber of the housing, and a tension spring is connected to the fixed shaft. The other end of the tension spring is hooked into the hanging hole. The tension spring is in the opening direction of the moving contact. A communication groove is formed on the base. A limiting block passing through the communication groove to one side of the buckle plate is provided on the rotating frame. A driving groove cooperating with the transmission foot is formed on the limiting block. Both ends of the positioning member are respectively in limiting cooperation with the rotating frame and the buckle plate. An arc-shaped groove coaxially arranged with the transmission handle and communicating the first chamber and the second chamber is formed in the housing. A driving rod for driving the transmission handle to rotate through the arc-shaped groove is connected to the handle. A pushing port which is open towards the opening direction and cooperates with the driving rod is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the transmission handle.
[0006] In the above structure, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the pressure relief spring is in a compressed state for energy storage. The thrust generated by it can make the catch firmly abut against the tripping lever through the abutting end. The tripping lever is limited by the elastic force of the second torsion spring. The locking catch and the tripping catch cooperate to limit the rotating frame. The rotating frame cooperates with the transmission foot through the driving groove to limit the reset member, and the first torsion spring is in the energy storage state. When a leakage occurs, the electromagnetic release is activated, and its tripping end instantaneously pushes the tripping lever to swing relative to the first connecting column, causing the catch to swing relative to the connecting shaft, and the abutting end to disengage from the tripping lever to achieve tripping. The tripping of the catch causes the pressure relief spring to release the stored energy. Through the cooperation of the transmission head and the stroke groove, the locking catch and the tripping catch are disengaged, and the tension spring pulls the rotating frame to move in the opening direction. While moving, the rotating frame pushes the locking catch to push the operating mechanism to trip and then achieve the opening of the circuit breaker. The leakage tripping mechanism plays a role in leakage protection. When the circuit breaker is opened, the driving groove of the rotating frame disengages from the transmission foot of the reset member, enabling the reset member to swing rapidly relative to the second connecting column through the torsion force released after the first torsion spring stores energy, thereby pushing the tripping end of the electromagnetic release to reset for the next extension and tripping. The catch pushes the positioning member to swing relative to the sixth connecting column through the bottom end of the rotating frame, and pushes the catch to reset through the second limiting groove for cooperation and locking limitation with the tripping lever during the next closing. The operating mechanism includes a bracket for installing the moving contact, a linkage catch installed on the bracket, a linkage rod connecting the handle and the linkage catch, and a locking block that cooperates with the linkage catch for locking or tripping. Through the mutual cooperation of the catch, the tripping lever, the spring seat, the positioning member, and the reset member, the acting force received by the transmission component during closing and opening can be reduced, and the acting force can be evenly distributed to each component, making the force more uniform, thereby improving the structural strength of the leakage tripping mechanism and the transmission component, reducing the processing difficulty of production, and improving the reliability and stability of the leakage tripping mechanism to achieve leakage tripping. By setting the transmission component, the leakage protection unit can be formed into a unit that can be separately closed and opened, thereby reducing the acting force received by the operating mechanism during the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, and thus reducing the locking force between the tripping catch and the locking catch and between the linkage catch and the locking block, improving the structural stability and operating life of the present invention. The present invention can drive the closing of the operating mechanism and the leakage protection unit through a single handle without the need for secondary operation to close the leakage protection unit, improving the convenience of operation of the present invention. Moreover, when the present invention is closed by the handle, the forces received by the operating mechanism and the leakage protection unit can be distributed to the handle through the drive rod, the linkage rod, the connecting rod, and the transmission handle 1, thereby reducing the acting force received when the linkage catch and the locking block of the operating mechanism are engaged, making the engaged part not easily worn, the force at the engaged part being evenly distributed, reducing the material requirements and production precision of the linkage catch and the locking block, and thus reducing the production cost of the present invention.The first connecting column can be provided to facilitate the installation and swinging of the tripping rod, the second connecting column can be provided to facilitate the installation and swinging of the reset member, and the first torsion spring can be provided to facilitate the abutment and cooperation with the first connecting column to store energy, thereby improving the stability of the structure of the present invention and the reliability of the reset of the tripping end of the tripper. The third connecting column and the fourth connecting column can facilitate the installation of the spring seat, thereby improving the stability of the spring seat and the reliability of the energy storage of the pressure release spring. The installation groove can facilitate the installation of the pressure release spring, thereby improving the stability of the pressure release spring. The pressure release spring can be provided to store energy when the circuit breaker is closed, and the buckle plate can be abutted and limited with the tripping rod. When the leakage tripping mechanism is opened, the elastic force released by the buckle plate drives the tripping buckle to be released from the lock, thereby improving the reliability of the opening of the present invention. The first torsion spring can be provided to cooperate with the reset member to reset the tripping end of the tripper; the second torsion spring can limit and reset the tripping rod, thereby improving the reliability of the present invention. By providing a transmission head and a transmission foot, the leakage current release mechanism and the transmission assembly can be easily matched, thereby improving the reliability of transmission between the various parts of the present invention. By matching the boss with the positioning groove, the positioning and installation of the spring seat can be facilitated, thereby improving the convenience of assembly of the present invention. By providing a travel groove and a drive groove, it can be convenient for them to match with the transmission head and the transmission foot respectively, and by providing a connecting groove, the structure of the present invention can be made more compact, thereby improving the structural strength of the leakage current release mechanism and improving the reliability of the present invention. By arranging the transmission handle in the second chamber, its volume can be reduced, and then the space in the second chamber can be reasonably utilized, which can reduce the volume of the present invention accordingly, making the structure more compact and improving the structural strength and reliability of the leakage current release unit.

When the circuit breaker trips and opens due to reasons other than leakage, the reset of the operating mechanism will not drive the reset of the leakage tripping mechanism, which can facilitate the inspection personnel to distinguish that the opening of the circuit breaker is not caused by leakage and is convenient for the inspection personnel to diagnose. When the leakage protection unit detects leakage and trips, the guiding block can cooperate with the transmission rod in the operating mechanism to disengage the linkage buckle of the operating mechanism from the locking block, thereby enabling the present invention to trip and opening, improving the reliability of the present invention.

A sixth connecting column 317 pivotally connected to the positioning member 36 is provided below the spring seat 35 on the base 31. A second limiting groove 342 adapted to the end of the positioning member 36 is opened on the clamping plate 34. A transmission head 343 that is in cooperation and limiting with the transmission assembly 4 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 34 facing the transmission assembly 4. A transmission foot 371 that is in transmission cooperation with the transmission assembly 4 is provided on the reset member 37; The transmission assembly 4 includes a transmission handle 41 coaxially arranged with the handle 21 and pivotally connected to the inside of the housing 1, a connecting rod 42 connected to the transmission handle 41, a jumping buckle 43 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 42, a rotating frame 44 pivotally connected to the connecting shaft 03, and a locking buckle 45 pivotally connected to the rotating frame 44 and cooperating with the jumping buckle 43 for limiting. A third torsion spring 46 for resetting the transmission handle 41 after rotation is sleeved on the transmission handle 41. A travel groove 451 cooperating with the transmission head 343 is formed on one side of the locking buckle 45 facing the transmission head 343. A convex column 441 is provided on the rotating frame 44, and a fourth torsion spring 05 for limiting the locking buckle 45 is sleeved on the convex column 441. A hanging hole 442 is formed on the rotating frame 44. A fixed shaft 06 is inserted into the housing 1 in the second chamber 12. A tension spring 07 is connected to the fixed shaft 06, and the other end of the tension spring 07 is hooked into the hanging hole 442. The tension spring 07 is located in the opening direction of the moving contact. A communication groove 318 is formed on the base 31. A limiting block 443 passing through the communication groove 318 to the side of the buckle plate 34 is provided on the rotating frame 44. A driving groove 4431 cooperating with the transmission foot 371 is formed on the limiting block 443. The two ends of the positioning member 36 are respectively in limiting cooperation with the rotating frame 44 and the buckle plate 34. An arc-shaped groove coaxially arranged with the transmission handle 41 and communicating the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 is formed in the housing 1. A driving rod 211 for driving the transmission handle 41 to rotate through the arc-shaped groove is connected to the handle 21. A pushing port 411 which is open towards the opening direction and cooperates with the driving rod 211 is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the transmission handle 41.
[0049] In the above structure, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the pressure relief spring 04 is in a compressed state for energy storage. The thrust generated by it can make the catch plate 34 firmly abut against the tripping lever 33 through the abutting end 341. The tripping lever 33 is limited by the elastic force of the second torsion spring 02. The locking latch 45 and the tripping latch 43 cooperate to limit the rotating frame 44. The rotating frame 44 cooperates with the transmission foot 371 through the driving groove 4431 to limit the reset member 37. The first torsion spring 01 is in the energy storage state. When a leakage occurs, the electromagnetic release 32 is activated. Its tripping end instantaneously pushes the tripping lever 33 to swing relative to the first connecting column 311, causing the catch plate 34 to swing relative to the connecting shaft 03, and the abutting end 341 to disengage from the tripping lever 33 to achieve tripping. The tripping of the catch plate 34 causes the pressure relief spring 04 to release the stored energy. Through the cooperation of the transmission head 343 and the stroke groove 451, the locking latch 45 and the tripping latch 43 are disengaged. The tension spring 07 pulls the rotating frame 44 to move in the direction of opening. While moving, the rotating frame 44 pushes the locking latch 45 to push the operating mechanism 22 to trip and then achieve the opening of the circuit breaker. The leakage tripping mechanism 3 plays a role in leakage protection. When the circuit breaker is opening, the driving groove 4431 of the rotating frame 44 disengages the transmission foot 371 of the reset member 37, enabling the reset member 37 to quickly swing relative to the second connecting column 312 through the torque released after the first torsion spring 01 stores energy, thereby pushing the tripping end of the electromagnetic release 32 to reset for the next extension and tripping.
