Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the electrical field of low-voltage switches, and in particular to a circuit breaker with an indication structure. Background Art

[0002] Existing reclosing circuit breakers generally have mechanical indicators, such as a contact opening and closing indicator device for a leakage reclosing circuit breaker disclosed in CN203325813U. The movement principle of its indicator mechanism is to drive the indicator to rotate through the movement of the contact shaft. The indicator and the contact shaft are distributed in different housings, so the linkage structure of the two must penetrate the housing where the indicator is located to achieve the linkage between the two, and the arc may spray out from the gap of this linkage part.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a mechanical indication that is not directly related to the action of the moving contact is also a problem worth studying. Summary of the invention

[0006] With this structure, the indicating structure is associated with the handle of the circuit breaker through the slider structure (part of the handle of the existing circuit breaker itself will penetrate into the middle cover), and does not need to be associated with the moving contact. In this way, mechanical indication can be achieved, avoiding the need to open a hole in the middle cover as in the prior art (in the hole for the indicating member to cooperate with the moving contact), so that the arc can be prevented from being ejected from such a hole (since such a hole does not exist, there will be no ejection).

Example

[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 18 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a circuit breaker with an indication structure.

[0056] The circuit breaker includes a circuit breaker housing, an operating mechanism, a contact assembly, an arc extinguishing assembly, and the like.

[0057] The circuit breaker housing includes a base 101, a middle cover 102 and an upper cover 103. Here, the base 101 is arranged below the middle cover 102, and the base 101 and the middle cover 102 are fastened by bolts. The upper cover 103 is arranged above the middle cover 102, and the upper cover 103 and the middle cover 102 are also fastened by bolts. Of course, in addition to this, bolts can be used to fasten all three, or other fastening methods can be used. No matter which method is used, as long as the stability of the three structures can be guaranteed.

[0058] An upper space 102a is formed on the middle cover 102, and the upper space 102a is surrounded by the partition wall 1021 through the side wall 1022. Here, the partition wall 1021 is not a completely closed wall, nor a regular wall. Its main function is to separate the components inside the middle cover 102 from the components on the base 101, of course, this does not include the handle K of the operating mechanism, because one end of the handle K of the operating mechanism needs to pass through the partition wall 1021 and be located in the upper space 102a.

[0059] The operating mechanism is fixed on the base 101. Most of the components of the operating mechanism are arranged below the middle cover 102, that is, below the partition wall 1021. Only the handle K of the operating mechanism passes through the partition wall 1021 and extends into the upper space 102a. Of course, there is enough space reserved on the partition wall 1021 for the handle K to move. By controlling the movement of the handle K, the opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker can be realized.

[0060] A rotating indicator 200 is arranged in the upper space 102a, and a first indicator surface 201a and a second indicator surface 201b are arranged on the indicator 200. The upper cover 103 has an indicator window 103a at the position where the indicator 200 is located. An indicator reset spring 210 is arranged on the indicator 200, and when the indicator 200 is not subjected to external force, the indicator reset spring 210 will cause the second indicator surface 201b to appear in the indicator window 103a.

[0061] A sliding slider 300 is provided in the upper space 102a. The slider 300 is sleeved on one end of the handle K, that is, a linkage is formed between the two. The movement direction of the slider 300 is a first movement direction S1 and a second movement direction S2. The first movement direction S1 and the second movement direction S2 are diametrically opposite. The first movement direction S1 corresponds to the closing direction of the operating mechanism, while the second movement direction S2 corresponds to the opening direction of the operating mechanism. Two guide rails 301 are also provided in the upper space 102a. Both ends of the slider 300 are sleeved on the guide rails 301, and the slider 300 slides in the first movement direction S1 and the second movement direction S2 along the guide rails 301.

[0062] The indicator 200 is located in the first movement direction S1 and intersects with the slider 300, so that when the slider 300 moves in the first movement direction S1, the operating mechanism is closed, the slider 300 touches the indicator 200 to rotate, and the rotated indicator 200 presents the first indication surface 201a in the indication window 103a. When the slider 300 slides in the second movement direction S2, the operating mechanism is opened, and the indicator 200 returns to its original position under the action of the indicator reset spring 210, presenting the second indication surface 201b in the indication window 103a.

[0063] Here, the first indication surface 201a and the second indication surface 201b may be text, patterns, colors, or English letters, etc.

[0064] In order to realize the feedback of the signal according to the state of the circuit breaker, a first position detection switch 310 and a second position detection switch 320 are also provided inside the upper space 102a. The first position detection switch 310 here is triggered by the indicator 200 when the first indication surface 201a is presented in the indication window 103a. The second position detection switch 320 is triggered by the indicator 200 when the second indication surface 201a is presented in the indication window 103a. That is to say, when the slider 300 pushes the operating mechanism to close the switch, the indicator 200 rotates to trigger the first position detection switch 310, and when the indicator 200 is reset, the indicator 200 rotates to trigger the second position detection switch 320. The first position detection switch 310 and the second position detection switch 320 here are both electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 400. Here, the first position detection switch 310 and the second position detection switch 320 do not have to be set at the same time, and only one of them can be set.

[0065] The indicator 200 includes a rotational matching portion 202, a first trigger portion 203, a second trigger portion 204, and an indicator portion 201, wherein the first trigger portion 203, the second trigger portion 204, and the indicator portion 201 are all connected to the rotational matching portion 202. The first indicator surface 201a and the second indicator surface 201b are located on the indicator portion 201. The first trigger portion 203 is used to trigger the first position detection switch 310, and the second trigger portion 204 is used to trigger the second position detection switch 320.

[0066] Here, the slider 300 drives the first triggering part 203 to realize the rotation of the indicator 200. Of course, in addition to this, the slider 300 can also drive other parts of the slider 300 to realize the rotation of the indicator 200.

[0067] Here, the first position detection switch 310 and the second position detection switch 320 are micro switches, and other switches may be travel switches, photoelectric switches, infrared induction switches, Hall switches, etc. At the same time, the first position detection switch 310 and the second position detection switch 320 may be switches of the same type, or a combination of switches of different types (for example, the first position detection switch 310 is a travel switch, and the second position detection switch 320 is a micro switch).

[0068] The function of the first position detection switch 310 and the second position detection switch 320 is mainly to feedback the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker to the circuit board assembly 400. The circuit board assembly 400 can perform the next step of processing according to the opening and closing signal. The next step of processing here includes but is not limited to feeding back the signal to the host computer, using it as a basis for motor control logic judgment, and using it as a basis for data recording, etc.

[0069] There are many specific ways to set the indicator 200. It can be directly connected to the middle cover 102 or indirectly connected to the middle cover 102. The following is an example of a structure that is indirectly connected to the middle cover 102.

[0070] The reduction gear box 500 is fixed in the upper space 102a. A shaft-like component 500a extends from the side of the box cover of the reduction gear box 500. The rotational matching portion 202 is sleeved on the shaft-like component 500a to form a rotational connection with the reduction gear box 500.

[0071] In order to prevent the rotating fitting part 202 from falling off easily, a first limiting step 500b is also provided on the shaft part 500a. After the rotating fitting part 202 is installed in place, the first limiting step 500b will block the rotating fitting part 202, so that the rotating fitting part 202 is located between the first limiting step 500b and the side of the reduction gear box 500.

[0072] Here, the number of the first limiting step 500b is two, and the specific limiting relationship between it and the rotating matching part 202 is as follows: a matching through hole 202a is opened on the rotating matching part 202, and the matching through hole 202a includes a first hole portion 202a1 and a second hole portion 202a2. The shape of the first hole portion 202a1 here matches the shaft-shaped component 500a; the number of the second hole portion 202a2 here is two, which corresponds to the first limiting step 500b one by one, and the shape of the second hole portion 202a2 matches the first limiting step 500b. During installation, align the first limiting step 500b with the second hole portion 202a2, and then push the rotating matching part 202 into place. After it is fully pushed in, due to the indicator reset spring 210 (after the indicator reset spring 210 is installed), the indicator reset spring 210 will rotate with the push indicator 200, so that the first limiting step 500b is misaligned with the second hole portion 202a2, and the installation is completed.

[0073] Here, the spring mounting portion 500d on the cover of the reduction gear box 500 is located near the shaft-shaped component 500a, and the spring mounting portion 500d here is used to act on one end of the indicator reset spring 210, and the other end of the indicator reset spring 210 acts on the indicator 200. Here, the indicator reset spring 210 adopts a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the indicator 200, one end of which is connected to the indicator 200, and the other end abuts on the spring mounting portion 500d. Of course, in addition to this, the indicator reset spring 210 can also adopt other forms of elastic members such as compression springs, tension springs, and spring sheets.

[0074] Here, an indicator blocking portion 500c is also provided on the cover of the reduction gear box 500, and the indicator blocking portion 500c here is mainly used to prevent the indicator 200 from excessive rotation, specifically to prevent the indicator 200 from continuing to rotate after the first indication surface 201a is completely presented in the indication window 103a.

[0075] The DC motor 600, the crank 701 and the reduction gear box 500 cooperate to realize the electric operation of the circuit breaker, and the specific implementation method is as follows:

[0076] A reduction gear set is arranged in the reduction gear box 500, and the reduction gear set includes at least two stages of duplex teeth and an output gear 503 (that is, the output end of the reduction gear set), which is a three-pole duplex tooth here. The large tooth portion of the first-stage duplex teeth 501 meshes with the input portion of the DC motor 600. Then the meshing relationship between the duplex teeth of each pole satisfies that the small tooth portion of the duplex teeth of the previous stage meshes with the large tooth portion of the duplex teeth of the next stage. The small tooth portion of the third-stage duplex teeth 502 meshes with the output gear 503, and the output gear 503 is connected to the crank 701 for transmission. In this way, the output of the DC motor 600 can be decelerated and converted into a suitable torque for output. Here, the pitch circle diameter of the output gear 503 is greater than the pitch circle diameter of any duplex teeth (that is, the pitch circle diameter of the large tooth portion of any duplex teeth). The duplex teeth of each pole also satisfy that the pitch circle diameter of the large tooth portion of the duplex teeth of the next stage is greater than the pitch circle diameter of the duplex teeth of the previous stage.

[0077] The crank 701 is connected to the output gear 503, so that the output gear 503 rotates and drives the crank 701 to rotate. The slider 300 has an opening drive surface 300b and a closing drive surface 300a, and the crank 701 switches back and forth between the opening drive surface 300b and the closing drive surface 300a. When the opening drive surface 300b is touched, the slider 300 slides along the second movement direction S2, and when the closing drive surface 300a is touched, the slider 300 slides along the first movement direction S1. Such reciprocating motion realizes the crank slider 300 mechanism and realizes the opening and closing of the circuit breaker.

[0078] The transmission connection between the output gear 503 and the crank 701 is completed by the rotating shaft 700, and the rotating shaft 700 can also be used for manual operation. Here, the crank 701 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 700, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 700 has a handle insertion hole 700a. One end of the rotating shaft 700 with the handle insertion hole 700a is exposed on the upper surface of the reduction gear box 500, and an exposed hole 103b is opened at the corresponding position of the upper cover 103. By inserting the external handle through the exposed hole 103b into the handle insertion hole 700a, the rotating shaft 700 can be driven to rotate by the external handle, causing the rotation of the crank 701. Here, the rotating shaft 700 and the output gear 503 are connected by a clutch structure, that is, when the rotating shaft 700 rotates along the first direction F1 (it can also be said to rotate clockwise), the rotating shaft 700 is disengaged from the output gear 503, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 700 will not cause the rotation of the output gear 503. When the output gear 503 rotates along the first direction (that is, clockwise), transmission can be formed between the output gear 503 and the rotating shaft 700.

[0079] There are many options for this clutch structure. The following is an example of a relatively simple implementation. The clutch structure includes a driving finger 702, an elastic member 704, and a transmission channel 703. The transmission channel 703 is a hole opened on the output gear 503. The hole wall of this hole includes a connected stop wall 703a and a curved wall 703b. The curved wall 703b is located in the clockwise direction of the stop wall 703a. The driving finger 702 is penetrated on the rotating shaft 700 and can slide along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 700. The elastic member 704 is a spring structure, and energy is stored when the driving finger 702 retracts toward the rotating shaft 700. The driving finger 702 is located outside the rotating shaft 700. When the rotating shaft 700 rotates in the first direction (clockwise), the driving finger 702 will slide along the arc wall 703b and gradually retract into the rotating shaft 700. In this way, since there is no force transmission relationship between the driving finger 702 and the transmission channel 703 in the radial direction, the rotating shaft 700 is disengaged from the output gear 503 (here, the disengagement refers to the lack of force transmission between the two). On the contrary, when the output gear 503 rotates in the first direction F1 (clockwise), since the stop wall 703a acts on the driving finger 702, the two are stuck in the radial direction, that is, there is a force transmission relationship between the driving finger 702 and the transmission channel 703 in the radial direction, so the output gear 503 will drive the rotating shaft 700 to rotate.

[0080] It can be seen that the movement of the slider 300 can be achieved by electric operation or manual operation.
