[0023] Example:

[0024] This embodiment addresses the problem of low assembly efficiency of the arc-extinguishing chamber in new high-capacity circuit breakers by providing a slow-push tooling for assembling the arc-extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the slow-push fixture for assembling the arc-extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker includes a slow-push fixture body 1, a transition fixture 2, a feeding system 3, and a motion slide rail 4. The slow-push fixture body 1 is a tubular structure with one end open and the other end closed. The open end of the slow-push fixture body 1 can completely surround the nozzle 6 in the movable part of the circuit breaker, and the corresponding port edge surface abuts against the slip ring 7 behind the nozzle 6.

[0026] The transition fixture 2 adopts a vertical bend pipe structure. The closed end of the slow push fixture body 1 is connected to the end of the upper horizontal pipe in the transition fixture 2. The end of the lower vertical pipe in the transition fixture 2 is connected to the feeding system 3. The feeding system 3 is installed on the lower motion slide rail 4. The feeding system 3 can move along the motion slide rail by relying on the motor drive to control the slow push fixture body to approach or move away from the movable parts of the circuit breaker.

[0027] Furthermore, the motor speed in the feeding system 3 in this embodiment is adjustable, so the speed of the slow-pushing tool body can be controlled by adjusting the motor speed.

[0028] In a further specific embodiment, the slow-push fixture body 1 and the transition fixture 2 are detachably connected. In this embodiment, the slow-push fixture body 1 and the transition fixture 2 are specifically connected by bolts 5.

[0029] Depending on the different models of circuit breaker products, a set of slow-push fixtures for assembling the arc-extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker is equipped with a variety of slow-push fixture bodies 1 of different specifications. Therefore, the staff can use the customized slow-push fixture body 1 according to the different models of circuit breaker products.

[0030] In order to protect the movable parts of the arc-extinguishing chamber from damage during movement, the main body 1 of the slow-push fixture in this embodiment is made of epoxy resin or other insulating materials with good performance.

[0031] In a further specific embodiment, the motion slide rail 4 is connected to the original arc-extinguishing chamber tooling slide rail.

[0032] This embodiment specifically addresses the slow-opening operation of large-capacity circuit breakers during the arc-extinguishing chamber assembly process, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a transmission box connecting plate 12 is installed inside the transmission box of a large-capacity circuit breaker. A connecting plate pin hole 13 is provided at the front end of the transmission box connecting plate 12. The operating rod 9 in the movable part of the circuit breaker is located directly in front of the transmission box connecting plate 12, and an operating rod pin hole 10 is provided at the rear end of the operating rod 9. The connecting plate pin hole 13 and the operating rod pin hole 10 have the same specifications and can be aligned coaxially.

[0033] Simultaneously, the front end of the operating lever 9 is connected to the slip ring 7, and the slip ring 7 is connected to the air cylinder 8 and the nozzle 6; the operating lever 9, the air cylinder 8, the slip ring 7, and the nozzle 6 together constitute the movable parts of the circuit breaker. The movable parts are the last step in the assembly process of a single arc-extinguishing chamber. Moreover, the moving contact finger seat 11 is also equipped with a watch strap contact finger that locks and conducts electricity to the air cylinder 8.

[0034] The working principle of the slow-push tooling for assembling the arc-extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] The nozzle 6, slip ring 7, air cylinder 8, and operating lever 9 together constitute the movable parts in the arc-extinguishing chamber assembly process. Due to the optimized design of the large-capacity circuit breaker, a moving contact finger seat structure has been added. At the same time, a watch strap contact finger is installed inside the moving contact finger seat 11, which has a locking capability. During the arc-extinguishing chamber assembly process, the operating lever pin hole 10 on the operating lever 9 needs to be coaxial with the connecting plate pin hole 13 on the connecting plate 12 in the transmission box of the subsequent circuit breaker transmission box. However, when the movable parts of the arc-extinguishing chamber move, the moving contact finger seat 11 relies on the watch strap contact finger to make frictional contact with the air cylinder 8, which generates great resistance, making it difficult to push the movable parts manually. Moreover, since the nozzle 6 is relatively fragile, direct pushing may also risk damaging the nozzle 6. Therefore, the tooling of this invention is needed.

[0036] When in use, the slow-push fixture body 1 of the present invention will slowly move the movable parts by slowly pushing the slip ring 7, so that the operating rod pin hole 10 and the connecting plate pin hole 13 are coaxial, and the rear end of the operating rod 9 is connected to the transmission box connecting plate 12, thus completing the assembly of the movable parts of the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0037] This invention achieves safe and reliable slow-opening operation of the movable structure of the arc-extinguishing chamber without damaging its components, improves the assembly efficiency of the arc-extinguishing chamber, enables the circuit breaker to be assembled quickly, and reduces labor costs. It has good economic feasibility and is suitable for widespread application.

[0038] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
