[0022] 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.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a double-break DC magnetic field circuit breaker, including a frame 1, a moving contact assembly 2, a static contact 3, an electric transmission mechanism 4, a closing and opening mechanism 5, a shunt trip device 6, an auxiliary signal device 7, and an arc extinguishing system 8. The frame 1 provides insulation support for the entire double-break DC magnetic field circuit breaker structure.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the moving contact assembly 2 is composed of a moving contact 21 , a locking shaft 22 , a connecting shaft 23 , a push rod 24 , a sliding shaft 25 , a base 26 , a bent plate 27 and a rotating shaft 28 . The movable contact assembly 2 comprises two groups. The base 26 is shaped like an ∪ and the movable contact 21 is placed in the waist-shaped holes on the two side walls of the base 26 via a sliding shaft 25, enabling the movable contact 21 to slide and rotate relative to the base 26. The locking shaft 22 is mounted on the upper part of the movable contact 21 via a needle bearing and can rotate flexibly. The connecting shaft 23 is placed below the locking shaft 22 and is tightly fixed to the middle part of the movable contact 21. The ejector rod 24 is placed below the connecting shaft 23 and one end is mounted on the lower middle part of the movable contact 21 via a needle bearing, and the other end contacts the drive block 55 during the closing process. The bent plate 27 is fixed to the bottom tail end of the movable contact 21. The base 26 also has a rotating shaft 28. The bottom tail end of the movable contact 21 is fixed with a bent plate 27 that drives the rotating shaft 28 to rotate. The rotating shaft 28 is fixed to the base 26 and is rotated by the bent plate 27. The two groups of static contacts 3 are arranged in the frame 1 relative to the movable contacts 21 in the two groups of movable contact assemblies 2.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the electric transmission mechanism 4 comprises a cam 41, a roller assembly 42, a roller shaft 43, an active rod 44, a driven rod 45, and a connector 46. The cam 41 in the electric transmission mechanism 4 is directly connected to the motor fixed to the frame 1 and rotates unidirectionally counterclockwise around the roller shaft 43. The connector 46 is welded to the roller shaft 43 to form a single, shaped component. The roller assembly 42 is fixedly mounted to the middle of the roller shaft 43 and below the cam 41 via the connector 46, forming a crank-connecting rod structure. A set of active rods 44 are fixedly connected at each end of the roller shaft 43. The active rods 44 are connected to driven rods 45, which are movably connected to drive blocks 55. One end of each driven rod 45 is connected to the two active rods 44 via a pin, and the other end is connected to the corresponding drive blocks 55 in the closing and opening mechanisms 5. The cam 41, roller assembly 42, and active rod 44 are parallel and perpendicular to the roller shaft 43.

[0027] The closing and opening mechanism 5 is composed of a bracket 51, a locking device 52, a tension spring 53, a closing and opening spring 54, a drive block 55 and a T-shaped connecting rod 56. The two combined opening and closing mechanisms 5 are fixed to the frame 1 through the two moving contact assemblies 2 respectively. The closing and opening springs 54 in the closing and opening mechanisms 5 are connected to the connecting shaft 23 in the moving contact assembly 2. The middle parts of the two sets of locking devices 52 are fixed to the corresponding brackets 51 through shaft pins or rolling bearings. The front end stepped portion overlaps the upper part of the locking shaft 22. The middle and lower parts are connected to the bracket 51 through the tension spring 53, and provide contact pressure between the locking device 52 and the locking shaft 22. During the closing process of the moving contact 21, the locking shaft 22 and the locking shaft 22 are connected. The latching device 52 generates rolling friction and realizes the engagement and locking of the moving contact 21 at a specific position. The engagement and locking position of the latching device 52 and the latching shaft 22 is a stepped design, which can realize reliable operation of the circuit breaker; the driving blocks 55 on the two combined tripping mechanisms 5 are respectively placed directly below the top rod 24 in the moving contact assembly 2 and centered in the middle. The driving blocks 55 are correspondingly connected to the driven rod 45. The two sets of latching devices 52 are fixedly connected by a T-shaped connecting rod 56 to realize synchronous operation of the two latching devices 52.

[0028] The shunt trip device 6 is composed of a push-type shunt release 61 and a pull-type shunt release 62. The push-type shunt release 61 and the pull-type shunt release 62 in the shunt trip device 6 are fixed in the middle of the two-pole closing and opening mechanism 5 and are arranged on the left and right sides of the T-shaped connecting rod 56. The push-type shunt release 61 provides a rightward push force for the T-shaped connecting rod 56, and the pull-type shunt release 62 provides a rightward pull force for the T-shaped connecting rod 56. The rear-pull shunt release 62 is provided with a manual operating lever to realize emergency manual opening of the circuit breaker.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary signal device 7 consists of a micro switch 71 and a cam shaft 72. The two auxiliary signal devices 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving contact assembly 2 and fixed to the frame 1. The hexagonal hole on the cam shaft 72 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 28 fixed to the base 26, thereby driving the micro switch 71 to switch states.

[0030] There are two groups of arc extinguishing systems 8 , which are respectively arranged on the upper parts of the corresponding moving contact assemblies 2 and static contacts 3 and fixed on the main frame 1 .

[0031] As a specific implementation method, Figure 2 、 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the operation process of the magnetic field circuit breaker is that the cam 41 in the closing and opening mechanism 5 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the motor, and the cam 41 drives the roller assembly 42 to move downward, and drives the driving block 55 to rotate clockwise through the mechanical connecting rods such as the roller shaft 43, the active rod 44, and the driven rod 45 until it contacts the push rod 24; the push rod 24 continues to move clockwise with the driving block 55, and the moving contact 21 moves to the left under the thrust of the push rod 24, while the closing and opening spring 54 stretches and stores energy until the front step surface of the locking device 52 falls on the locking shaft 22, completing the closing and energy storage process of the magnetic field circuit breaker contact system; when the push rod 24 moves to After it is in the same straight line position as the driving block 55, a "dead point" mechanism is formed. As the push rod 24 continues to move, the "over-dead point" process is completed, and the moving contact 21 completes the closing action under the action of the closing and opening spring 54; after closing, the energy stored in the closing and opening spring 54 is not completely released, and the contact force between the moving contact 21 and the static contact 3 is still maintained. When the T-shaped connecting rod 56 rotates to the right under the joint action of the push-type shunt release 61 and the pull-type shunt release 62, it drives the locking device 52 to rotate counterclockwise and disengage from the locking shaft 22. The moving contact 21 completes the opening action under the action of the closing and opening spring 54, and the stored energy is completely released at this time.

[0032] The present invention adopts modular design with clear layers and simple and compact structure. Each module can be independently repaired and replaced. It has the advantages of strong ultimate breaking capacity, high short-time tolerance, fast breaking speed, long life and high reliability.

[0033] The above examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any design that is identical or similar to the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
