[0041] Specific working principle, in the initial state, the push rod mechanism 31 is driven by the energy storage elastic member 32 to move the moving iron core 23 in the coil framework 22 to the direction of the static iron core 24, and the moving iron core 23 is attracted to the static iron core 24 under the action of the permanent magnet 25;

[0042] When the push handle is used to buckle the circuit breaker, the lever shaft arranged on the circuit breaker drives the base 311 to move in the shell 1 and compresses the energy storage elastic member 32, when the base 311 drives the connecting rod 319 to move to the position of the limiting rod 336, the second locking arm 335 drives the limiting rod 336 to be clamped into the locking groove 313 under the action of the locking elastic member 332, thereby limiting the push rod mechanism 31, preventing the push rod mechanism 31 from moving away from the locking mechanism 33 under the action of the energy storage elastic member 32, at this time, the energy storage elastic member 32 is in an energy storage state, and the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24 are still in the attracted state under the action of the permanent magnet 25;

[0044] Embodiment two

[0045] In use, due to the external environment temperature and the working temperature of the internal electronic components of the circuit breaker, the temperature of the coil 21 in the release device is increased, and the resistivity of the coil 21 wire increases with the increase of the temperature, which will cause the weakening of the magnetic field intensity under the same current, and the weakening of the magnetic field intensity may cause the delay of the release or even the failure of the release, which will cause the safety hazard. Therefore, the device described in the above embodiment is improved in the present embodiment.

[0046] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the adjusting mechanism 4 comprises an adjusting cavity 41 arranged on the side of the magnetic yoke 26 close to the fixed plate 27, a first piston 42 is slidingly connected in the adjusting cavity 41, one end of the first elastic member 28 is connected with the first piston 42, and the other end is connected with the fixed plate 27, and a thermal expansion gas is arranged on the side of the adjusting cavity 41 away from the fixed plate 27.

[0047] In actual use, when the temperature in the circuit breaker is increased, the thermal expansion gas in the adjusting cavity 41 will expand due to the heat, and after the expansion of the thermal expansion gas, the first piston 42 will be pushed to move towards the fixed plate 27, so as to further compress the first elastic member 28, so as to increase the pushing force of the moving iron core 23 when it is released, so as to provide greater pushing force when the magnetic field is weakened.

[0048] The higher the temperature is, the greater the resistivity of the coil 21 wire is, and the greater the expansion volume of the thermal expansion gas is, so as to adapt to the change of the temperature and increase the pushing force of the moving iron core 23 when it is released, and compensate for the weakening of the magnetic field caused by the temperature, so as to prevent the delay of the release or the failure of the release under the same pushing force after the weakening of the magnetic field of the coil 21, and improve the safety.

[0049] It should be noted that when the temperature in the circuit breaker is too high due to the fault, the thermal expansion gas will expand sharply, and the first elastic member 28 will cooperate with the thermal expansion gas to enable the moving iron core 23 to overcome the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 25, so as to release the attraction between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, and enable the circuit breaker to release, so as to play a role in fault protection, and further improve the safety.

[0050] In summary, through the arrangement of the adjusting cavity 41, the first piston 42 and other structures, when the temperature in the circuit breaker is increased, the thermal expansion gas will expand to push the first piston 42 to move towards the fixed plate 27, so as to provide greater pushing force for the release of the moving iron core 23, prevent the delay of the release or the failure of the release under the same pushing force after the weakening of the magnetic field, improve the safety, and when the temperature in the circuit breaker is too high, release the attraction between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, so as to release the circuit breaker, so as to play a role in fault protection, and further improve the safety.

[0051] Embodiment three

[0052] In use, the permanent magnet 25 may demagnetize due to temperature, external interference and other factors during long-term use, resulting in attenuation of the magnetic field strength, causing the moving iron core 23 to fail to normally attract the static iron core 24, and affecting the normal use of the circuit breaker. Therefore, the device described in the above embodiment is improved in this embodiment.

[0053] With reference to Figures 2 to 5 The adjusting mechanism 4 further comprises a control cavity 43 and a storage cavity 47, the permanent magnet 25 is fixedly connected in the control cavity 43, the second piston 44 is slidingly connected in the control cavity 43, the magnetic member 45 is fixedly embedded on the side of the second piston 44 close to the permanent magnet 25, the second elastic member 46 is connected between the second piston 44 and the permanent magnet 25, and the exhaust hole for air circulation is arranged on the side of the control cavity 43 away from the permanent magnet 25.

[0054] With reference to Figures 3 to 5 The two ends of the storage cavity 47 are in communication with the adjusting cavity 41 and the control cavity 43, respectively, the piston member 48 is slidingly connected in the storage cavity 47, the communication groove 49 is arranged on the side of the piston member 48 close to the control cavity 43, the plurality of limiting grooves 410 in communication with the communication groove 49 are uniformly arranged on the outer side of the piston member 48, the friction member 411 is slidingly connected in each limiting groove 410, the driving block 412 is slidingly connected in the communication groove 49, the wedge surfaces capable of cooperating with each other are arranged between one end of the plurality of friction members 411 inside the communication groove 49 and the driving block 412, the third elastic member 413 is sleeved in the communication groove 49, one end of the third elastic member 413 is connected with the driving block 412, and the other end of the third elastic member 413 is connected with the communication groove 49, and the elastic coefficient of the second piston 44 is greater than that of the third elastic member 413.

[0055] In actual use, in the initial state, the driving block 412 is pressed against the plurality of friction members 411 under the thrust of the third elastic member 413, so that the friction heads of the plurality of friction members 411 can be in contact with the inner wall of the storage cavity 47 and limit the piston member 48, preventing the piston member 48 from moving in the storage cavity 47.

[0056] When the permanent magnet 25 appears demagnetization phenomenon, the magnetic field is weakened, the attraction of the permanent magnet 25 to the magnetic part 45 is weakened, at this time, the second elastic part 46 can push the second piston 44 to move away from the permanent magnet 25, in the process of moving, the second piston 44 can draw the air in the storage cavity 47 into the control cavity 43, so that the negative pressure is generated in the storage cavity 47, the negative pressure of the storage cavity 47 can drive the driving block 412 to compress the third elastic part 413, so that the driving block 412 no longer extrudes the plurality of friction parts 411 to contact the inner wall of the storage cavity 47, the limiting of the piston part 48 is released, so that the piston part 48 can move in the storage cavity 47, at this time, the negative pressure in the storage cavity 47 can drive the piston part 48 to move towards the control cavity 43, and part of the thermal expansion gas in the adjusting cavity 41 is drawn into the storage cavity 47, so that the first piston 42 can further move away from the fixed plate 27 in the adjusting cavity 41, so that the pushing force of the first elastic part 28 is weakened;

[0057] The weaker the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 25 is, the stronger the negative pressure in the storage cavity 47 is, the farther the piston part 48 moves, and the more thermal expansion gas is drawn in the adjusting cavity 41, so that the pushing force of the first elastic part 28 to the moving iron core 23 is weaker, so that the pushing force of the first elastic part 28 to the moving iron core 23 can be adjusted according to the attenuation degree of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 25, to prevent the moving iron core 23 from being unable to normally attract the static iron core 24 under the same pushing force after the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet 25 is attenuated, to avoid affecting the normal use of the circuit breaker, thereby improving the service life of the trip unit.

[0058] It should be noted that since the adjusting cavity 41 is communicated with the storage cavity 47, the thermal expansion gas will generate a pushing force on the piston part 48 after being heated and expanded, if the other side of the piston part 48 does not generate negative pressure, the driving block 412 will extrude the plurality of friction parts 411 under the simultaneous action of the third elastic part 413 and the positive pressure, so that the friction heads of the plurality of friction parts 411 can further contact the inner wall of the storage cavity 47, to improve the limiting of the piston part 48, to prevent the piston part 48 from moving in the storage cavity 47, so that only when the permanent magnet 25 demagnetizes to generate negative pressure in the storage cavity 47, the friction parts 411 can release the limiting of the piston part 48, to prevent the thermal expansion gas from moving the piston part 48 when the permanent magnet 25 does not demagnetize.

[0059] In summary, by the arrangement of the driving block 412 and the friction piece 411, when the magnetic field is weakened due to demagnetization of the permanent magnet 25, the negative pressure is generated in the storage cavity 47, the driving block 412 no longer presses the plurality of friction pieces 411 to contact the inner wall of the storage cavity 47, the limiting of the piston piece 48 is released, and the piston piece 48 can draw a part of the thermal expansion gas in the adjusting cavity 41 into the storage cavity 47, so that the pushing force of the first elastic piece 28 is weaker, thereby adjusting the pushing force of the first elastic piece 28 on the moving iron core 23 according to the attenuation degree of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 25, preventing the moving iron core 23 from being normally attracted to the static iron core 24 under the same pushing force after the attenuation of the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet 25, avoiding affecting the normal use of the circuit breaker, and improving the service life of the release.
