AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In abnormal situations, when the buttons or handles of the existing circuit breaker are locked, the remote tripping command cannot be executed, which causes the moving contact and the stationary contact to be unable to separate, posing a safety hazard.

Method used

The electric mechanism employs a trigger and trip unit in conjunction, and the tripping of the tripping and closing drive units is achieved by staggering the trigger operation mechanism. Combined with microswitches and circuit design, current control is ensured in both electric and manual modes, and manual mechanism locking is prevented in abnormal situations.

Benefits of technology

It enables automatic tripping under abnormal conditions, avoiding the problem of the electric mechanism being unable to trip due to manual mechanism locking, ensuring the circuit breaker trips safely and reliably, and enabling constant switching between electric and manual modes without switching the current mode.

Abstract

A kind of circuit breaker, including shell and manual mechanism, electric mechanism, operating mechanism, movable contact and static contact being arranged in shell, the manual mechanism and electric mechanism can respectively drive movable contact and static contact contact and separate by operating mechanism, the electric mechanism includes rotationally arranged trigger and motor for driving trigger rotation, the trigger is equipped with trip-out element between operating mechanism, the trigger is equipped with opening drive part, motor can drive trigger rotation, trigger operating mechanism trip-out by opening drive part and drive operating mechanism, drive movable contact and static contact separate, electric mechanism does not need to drive circuit breaker opening by manual mechanism, when manual mechanism is locked because of abnormal situation, the problem that electric mechanism cannot drive circuit breaker opening by manual mechanism can be avoided.
