DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a technical solution: a self-driven fast circuit breaker, including a shell 1 and a static contact 3 and a moving contact 4 arranged in the inner cavity of the shell 1. The moving contact 4 and the static contact 3 are in contact with each other under normal conditions. The moving contact 4 is electrically connected to the coil 7 through a wire. A toggle plate 10 is installed in the inner cavity of the shell 1, and a magnetic column 16 is installed on the toggle plate 10. When the current in the coil 7 increases instantaneously, the magnetic column 16 and the coil 7 repel each other and drive the toggle plate 10 to rotate, so that the moving contact 4 is separated from the static contact 3, so that the entire circuit breaker is in an open state.

[0028] The utility model, through the arrangement of the toggle disk 10 and the magnetic column 16, can, when a short circuit occurs in the electrical system connected to the circuit breaker, the instantaneous current in the coil 7 increases, and then the magnetic repulsion pushes the magnetic column 16 to drive the toggle disk 10 to rotate, so that the toggle disk 10 toggle the moving contact 4 and the static contact 3 to separate, thereby completing the rapid circuit-breaking protection for the entire electrical system.

[0029] Reference Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the inner cavity of the housing 1 is detachably mounted with a connecting frame 2, the static contact 3 is fixedly arranged on the connecting frame 2, the moving contact 4 is connected to the connecting frame 2 in a sliding manner, the connecting frame 2 is provided with a limiting groove 6 matching the moving contact 4, and a first elastic member 5 is fixedly connected between the connecting frame 2 and the moving contact 4, which is used to ensure that the moving contact 4 is always in contact with the static contact 3 under normal conditions. Under the limiting effect of the limiting groove 6, the entire moving contact 4 can only move along the limiting groove 6, and at the same time, under the elastic support of the first elastic member 5, it is ensured that the moving contact 4 is always in contact with the static contact 3 under normal conditions and is electrically connected. At the same time, after the moving contact 4 is toggled by the toggle plate 10 and separated from the static contact 3, the first elastic member 5 is pressed and has a tendency to reset, so when the subsequent contact toggle plate 10 is limited to the moving contact 4, the moving contact 4 is reset and pushes the toggle plate 10 to reset. Therefore, there is no need to set a reset mechanism separately at the toggle plate 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, a connecting column 8 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 1 , and the dial 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 8 via a bearing 9 .

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of weight-reducing grooves 11 are arranged on the toggle plate 10, and a toggle fork 12 and a mounting fork 13 are arranged on the toggle plate 10, respectively. The toggle fork 12 is used to toggle and separate the moving contact 4 and the stationary contact 3, and the magnetic column 16 is mounted on the mounting fork 13. The weight-reducing grooves 11 arranged on the toggle plate 10 can effectively reduce the counterweight of the entire toggle plate 10, so as to save the subsequent layout cost of the coil 7, and also facilitate reducing the thrust required for the rotation of the toggle plate 10, so as to improve the sensitivity of the entire circuit breaker; the forked mounting fork 13 and the toggle fork 12 can further reduce the counterweight.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer sleeve of the magnetic column 16 is fixedly connected with the mounting sleeve 15, and the mounting sleeve 15 is suspended and fixedly mounted on the mounting fork 13 through the symmetrically arranged second elastic members 14. In the process of the coil 7 pushing the magnetic column 16 to move due to the mutual repulsion of the different shapes, the magnetic column 16 drives the toggle plate 10 to rotate through the mounting fork 13, and then the toggle fork 12 drives the moving contact 4 to separate from the static contact 3. At this time, due to the deadweight of the magnetic column 16 and the mounting sleeve 15, the magnetic column 16 and the mounting sleeve 15 can twist the second elastic member 14 and be in a vertical state, so as to ensure that the thrust generated between the coil 7 and the magnetic column 16 is stable.

[0033] Reference Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the mounting fork 13 is provided with an annular track 17, and a limiting hole 18 is provided on the mounting fork 13 at the end of the annular track 17. A plug connector 21 is arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 1. During the rotation of the mounting fork 13, the plug connector 21 slides along the annular track 17 and is finally inserted into the limiting hole 18 so that the mounting fork 13 cannot rotate. During the rotation of the dial 10 pushed by the mounting fork 13, the plug connector 21 can slide along the annular track 17, and after the mounting fork 13 pushes the moving contact 4 to slide along the limiting groove 6 and separate from the static contact 3, the plug connector 21 is inserted into the limiting hole 18 to limit the mounting fork 13 and ensure the stable maintenance of the circuit breaker protection state.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a maintenance handle 19 is arranged on the cavity wall of the housing 1 to slide through, and a plug connector 21 is fixedly arranged at one end of the maintenance handle 19 located in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and the maintenance handle 19 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the housing 1 through a third elastic member 20. During the movement of the plug connector 21 along the annular track 17, the third elastic member 20 is always in a compressed state. When the plug connector 21 moves to the limiting hole 18, the third elastic member 20 is reset at this time, so that the plug connector 21 is stably inserted into the limiting hole 18, thereby ensuring that the entire circuit breaker is stably in the open state. In addition, when it is necessary to restore the closed state, the personnel can pull the maintenance handle 19 to make the compressed plug connector 21 of the third elastic member 20 disengage from the limiting hole 18. At this time, under the reset action of the first elastic member 5, the moving contact 4 is driven to push the toggle fork 12, and then the toggle disk 10 is restored to the initial state, thereby completing the reset of the entire circuit breaker.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the contact surface between the moving contact 4 and the toggle fork 12 is set as an inclined surface. Due to the inclined surface set on the moving contact 4, when the toggle fork 12 obliquely pushes the moving contact 4 during the rotation process, under the action of the inclined surface, the moving contact 4 can stably slide along the limit groove 6, avoiding the force balance state between the moving contact 4 and the toggle fork 12, which affects the normal opening of the moving contact 4.
