DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0074] The following is a further description of the specific implementation of the plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments given in the accompanying drawings. The plug-in circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0075] like Figure 1-3As shown, the plug-in circuit breaker includes a housing 8, and the opposite ends of the housing 8 are respectively used as an operating end 801 and a plug-in end 802. A main circuit, an operating mechanism A and a control system D are arranged in the housing 8 between the operating end 801 and the plug-in end 802, wherein the main circuit includes at least one pair of wiring components 64, at least one pair of busbar clamps 61, a conductive system F and a contact mechanism G. The wiring components 64 and the busbar clamps 61 are respectively correspondingly arranged at the operating end 801 and the plug-in end 802 for external wiring, wherein each busbar clamp 61 is connected to a wiring component 64 through the conductive system F, and the contact mechanism G is connected in series between a wiring component 64 and a The contact mechanism G is connected between a busbar clamp 61 and a moving contact 72. The control system D includes a control circuit board, which is connected to a solid-state electronic switch. The controller of the control circuit board can output a control signal to drive the solid-state electronic switch according to the received signal, wherein the solid-state circuit for controlling the solid-state electronic switch is controlled by a microswitch arranged on the control circuit board. The solid-state circuit is connected between the contact mechanism G and a busbar clamp 61 through a conductive system F. The contact mechanism G and the microswitch are driven by the operating mechanism A to control the connection or disconnection of the main line. Of course, the microswitch can also be replaced by a photosensitive element, a Hall switch, etc.

[0076] Furthermore, a locking hole 806 is provided on the side wall of the housing 8 connected between the operating end 801 and the plugging end 802 (see Figure 4 ), a locking mechanism B is also provided in the housing 8 on one side of the locking hole 806, and the plug-in circuit breaker can be locked or unlocked with the cabinet by operating the mechanism A or directly driving the locking mechanism B to cooperate with the locking hole 806.

[0077] Furthermore, a tripping mechanism C is also provided in the housing 8, and the tripping mechanism C includes an electromagnetic tripper 31, which cooperates with the operating mechanism A, and the electromagnetic tripper 31 is connected to the control circuit board. The controller of the control circuit board outputs a control signal to drive the electromagnetic tripper 31 to operate.

[0078] The improvement of the present application is that the operating mechanism A includes a closing handle 13, an opening handle 11 and a closing lock 14, the closing handle 13 and the opening handle 11 are respectively slidably arranged with the housing 8, the closing lock 14 is rotatably assembled and respectively cooperates with the closing handle 13 and the opening handle 11, the contact mechanism G also includes a contact spring 73, the moving contact 72 and the contact spring 73 are respectively rotatably arranged, and when the closing handle 13 is pressed to the closing position, the contact spring 73 first drives the moving contact 72 to connect the contact mechanism G and provides contact pressure for the moving contact 72, and the closing handle 13 then closes the solid-state electronic switch. The closing handle 13 and the closing locking piece 14 are limited in cooperation. When the opening handle 11 is pulled to the opening position, the opening handle 11 drives the closing locking piece 14 to release the limited cooperation with the closing handle 13, so that when the closing handle 13 moves to the opening position, it first disconnects the solid-state electronic switch and then drives the moving contact 72 to disconnect the contact mechanism G.

[0079] In this way, the operating mechanism A is divided into a closing handle 13, an opening handle 11 and a closing locking piece 14. The closing handle 13 is pressed to connect the contact mechanism G and the solid-state electronic switch, and the opening handle 11 is pulled to disconnect the contact mechanism G and the solid-state electronic switch. The connection and disconnection of the main line are respectively completed by the closing handle 13, the opening handle 11 and the closing locking piece 14. The moving contact 72 is driven by the contact spring 73 to first connect the contact mechanism G and provide contact pressure for the contact mechanism G when closing. This not only simplifies the structure of the operating mechanism A, but also prevents malfunctions during operation, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0080] Further, if Figure 5 , 6 As shown in 8-19, the contact mechanism G includes a moving contact 72 and a stationary contact 71 that cooperate with each other, wherein the moving contact 72 is rotatably assembled in the housing 8, and the stationary contact 71 is fixedly arranged in the housing 8, and one end of the moving contact 72 passes through the closing handle 13 and is spaced opposite to the stationary contact 71. Preferably, the moving contact 72 is coaxially rotatably assembled with the closing locking piece 14, and the moving contact 72 and the closing locking piece 14 can be separated by setting a partition 74 to improve the utilization rate of the internal space and make the internal structure more compact.

[0081] Furthermore, the electromagnetic release 31 in the tripping mechanism C can also be used to drive the closing lock 14. The closing lock 14 is rotatably arranged between the electromagnetic release 31 and the closing handle 13. When the electromagnetic release 31 is actuated, the closing lock 14 is driven by the electromagnetic release 31 to rotate, so that the closing handle 13 moves to the opening position after the limiting cooperation with the closing lock 14 is released. The closing handle 13 located in the opening position can limit the closing lock 14 together with the tripping mechanism C. Of course, when the opening handle 11 drives the closing lock 14 to rotate in the opening position, the closing handle 13 located in the opening position can also limit the closing lock 14 together with the tripping mechanism C.

[0082] Specifically, Figure 3-6 , 10, 12, 14, 15 and 30, the tripping mechanism C includes an electromagnetic tripper 31 and a tripping reset member 32, the electromagnetic tripper 31 includes a coil assembly and a moving assembly driven by the coil assembly, the closing lock member 14 is provided with a linkage hole, one end of the moving assembly slides through the linkage hole, and the tripping reset member 32 is elastically arranged on the moving assembly between the closing lock member 14 and the coil assembly. When the electromagnetic tripper 31 or the opening handle 11 drives the closing lock member 14 to rotate, the closing handle 13, the closing lock member 14 and the tripping reset member 32 maintain a balanced state, and the positional relationship between the closing lock member 14 and the moving assembly in the balanced state is relatively flexible. The moving assembly can be automatically reset, and can also be driven to reset when the closing lock member 14 is reset, thereby reducing the requirements for the electromagnetic tripper 31.

[0083] Furthermore, the linkage hole includes an installation area 143 and a matching area 144 which are interconnected, wherein the inner diameter of the installation area 143 is larger than the inner diameter of the matching area 144. After one end of the moving component of the electromagnetic release 31 is slid into the installation area 143, it slides and deviates into the matching area. When the closing handle 13 and the closing locking member 14 are limitedly matched, the moving direction of the moving component is parallel to the central axis of the linkage hole. When the moving component is driven or the opening handle 11 is pulled to the opening position, as the closing locking member 14 rotates, the moving direction of the moving component forms an angle with the central axis of the linkage hole, but the matching area 144 does not interfere with the movement of the moving component, and the closing locking member 14, the tripping reset member 32 and the closing handle 13 are kept in a balanced state.

[0084] Further, such as Figure 1-5 As shown in Figures 8-10 and 19, a locking mechanism B is rotatably arranged between the locking hole 806 and the operating mechanism A, wherein the locking mechanism B includes two locking members and an elastic reset member 23 arranged between the two locking members, and the elastic reset member 23 enables the two locking members to maintain opposite movement trends. When the switch is closed or opened, the operating mechanism A drives the locking portion of one of the locking members to extend out of the locking hole 806, and the locking portion cooperates with the cabinet to limit the position, thereby improving the installation reliability of the product.

[0085] Combination Figure 1-30 A specific embodiment of a plug-in circuit breaker is provided.

During this process, the closing handle 13 drives the contact spring 73, so that the contact spring 73 first drives the moving contact 72 to connect the contact mechanism G and provides contact pressure for the moving contact 72, and then the closing handle 13 closes the solid-state electronic switch, the closing handle 13 and the closing locking piece 14 limit cooperation, the opening handle 11 is pulled to the opening position, and the opening handle 11 drives the closing locking piece 14 to release the limit cooperation with the closing handle 13, so that when the closing handle 13 moves to the opening position, it first disconnects the solid-state electronic switch and then disconnects the contact mechanism G.

[0089] Preferably, a closing reset member 15 is connected between the closing handle 13 and the housing 8. When the closing handle 13 and the closing locking member 14 are released from the limit cooperation, the closing reset member 15 drives the closing handle 13 to move from the closing position to the opening position, thereby avoiding manual operation of the closing handle 13 in the closed state, thereby improving operational safety; an opening reset member 12 is arranged between the opening handle 11 and the housing 8.

When the switch is closed, , the operating mechanism A drives the first locking member 21 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset member 23, so that the first locking portion 216 extends out of the locking hole 806, and at the same time, the elastic reset member 23 drives the second locking portion 223 of the second locking member 22 to also extend out of the locking hole 806. In this way, when closing the switch, the locking portions of the two locking members are both located outside the locking hole 806. When opening the switch, the operating mechanism A and the first locking member 21 are released from the matching, and the elastic reset member 23 drives the first locking portion 216 to retract into the housing 8. At the same time, the elastic reset member 23 drives the second locking portion 223 to keep extending out of the locking hole 806. When disassembling, the operating mechanism A drives the second locking member 22 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic reset member 23, so that the second locking portion 223 retracts into the housing 8.

[0111] like Figure 1 , 3, 20 and 21, in this embodiment, the main line includes a pair of wiring components 64, a pair of busbar clamps 61 and a conductive system F, wherein a pair of wiring components 64 are arranged at the operating end 801, and each wiring component 64 corresponds to a wiring port, and a pair of busbar clamps 61 are arranged at the plug-in end 802. Preferably, each busbar clamp 61 corresponds to a socket, and a pair of busbar clamps 61 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the plug-in end 802.

[0112] The conductive system F includes a first conductive plate 62 and two second conductive plates 63, and the contact mechanism G is connected to the second conductive plate 63. The first conductive plate 62 is arranged side by side with the control circuit board along the side position in the shell 8, and the two ends of the first conductive plate 62 are respectively connected to a wiring assembly 64 and a busbar clamp 61. Preferably, the board surface of the first conductive plate 62 is perpendicular to the board surface of the control circuit board, thereby saving internal space. Of course, the board surface of the first conductive plate 62 is also parallel to the board surface of the control circuit board, but the first conductive plate 62 overlaps with the edge of the control circuit board, which affects the heat dissipation effect; the control circuit board is respectively connected to the two second conductive plates 63, thereby connecting the solid-state circuit arranged on the control circuit board to the main circuit. In the figure, one second conductive plate 63 is connected to another busbar clamp 61, and another second conductive plate 63 is connected to another wiring assembly 64 through the contact mechanism G, that is, another second conductive plate 63 is connected to the moving contact 72 through a soft connection, and the static contact 71 is connected to two wiring assemblies 64.

[0113] The place where the heat is the highest is where the solid-state switch on the control circuit board is combined with the two second conductive plates 52. The second conductive plate 52 is used instead of the soft connection to connect to the control circuit board. The second conductive plate 52 has a larger contact area, which is beneficial to reduce the heat generation. At the same time, the overall strength of the connection between the second conductive plate 52 and the busbar clamp 22 is better, and the supporting strength is greater during the plugging and unplugging process, reducing the impact on the product. In addition, the second conductive plate 52 has the advantages of mature process of whole-board plug-in soldering, convenient welding positioning, and good strength.

[0114] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and 21 As shown, a heat dissipation structure E is also provided in the housing 8. The heat dissipation structure E includes a heat conducting plate 5. Each heat conducting plate 5 is arranged on the side of a second conductive plate 63 facing away from the control circuit board. One end of each heat conducting plate 5 is arranged on the surface of the first conductive plate 62. The heat conducting plate 5 transfers the heat between the second conductive plate 63 and the control circuit board to the first conductive plate 62, and then dissipates the heat through the wiring components 64 and the busbar clamp 61 at both ends of the first conductive plate 62, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0115] Preferably, Fig.21As shown, two second conductive plates 63 are arranged along the same side surface of the control circuit board, so that the overall thickness of the control circuit board, the second conductive plates 63 and the heat conductive plate 5 can be reduced. In this embodiment, the control circuit board includes two first circuit boards 41 and one second circuit board 42. The two first circuit boards 41 are stacked in the housing 8. One of the first circuit boards 41 is provided with a micro switch, and the micro switch is used to turn on or off the solid-state circuit that controls the solid-state electronic switch. The other first circuit board 41 is provided with a power element, etc. The first conductive end 631 of each second conductive plate 63 connects the two first circuit boards 41 together, and the heat conductive plate 5 is attached to the first conductive end 631 of the second conductive plate 63. The first conductive end 631 of each second conductive plate 63 is extended along the same side surface of the same first circuit board 41. Preferably, the first conductive end 631 of each second conductive plate 63 is located between the two first circuit boards 41. In this way, the heat conducting plate 5 is also located between the two first circuit boards 41, which can make full use of the gap between the two first circuit boards 41, avoid increasing the overall thickness, and also facilitate heat dissipation. The second conductive end of one second conductive plate 63 is connected to a busbar clamp 61, and the second conductive end of another second conductive plate 63 is connected to the contact mechanism G, that is, connected to the static contact 71 or the moving contact 72; the second circuit board 42 is arranged between the first circuit board 41 and the plug-in end 802, the second circuit board 42 is connected to one of the first circuit boards 41 and is provided with a signal terminal 43, the signal terminal 43 is located between a pair of busbar clamps 61, and each signal terminal 43 corresponds to a socket of the plug-in end 802, for plug-in wiring. Of course, the control circuit board can also be only one circuit board, or two or more circuit boards can be spliced ​​together.

[0116] Combination Figure 3 , 21 A structure of a heat conducting plate 5 is provided, wherein the two heat conducting plates 5 are in a strip-shaped plate structure as a whole, and the width of the heat conducting plate 5 is preferably greater than or equal to the width of the first conductive end 631 of the second conductive plate 63. One end of each heat conducting plate 5 is bent to form an abutting portion 51 for abutting against the first conductive plate 62, and the other end of each heat conducting plate 5 is kept flush with the first conductive end 631 of each heat conducting plate 5. Of course, the other end of the heat conducting plate 5 may also extend beyond the first conductive end 631. The two split heat conducting plates 5 are conducive to reducing costs.

[0117] Furthermore, an indication hole 803 is provided at the operating end 801 , and the indication hole 803 corresponds to the indicator light provided on the control circuit board. Preferably, a light guide column 804 is provided between the indication hole 803 and the indicator light, and the light guide column 804 transmits the state of the indicator light to the housing 8 .
