Example

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, the embodiment of the present application is a small circuit breaker, which is also called an air switch, and includes an instantaneous tripping function (also called a short-circuit protection function) and an overload protection function.

[0035] The miniature circuit breaker can be a single-pole circuit breaker or a multi-pole circuit breaker, and the internal structure of the multi-pole circuit breaker is basically the same as that of the single-pole circuit breaker. Taking this embodiment as an example, a single-pole circuit breaker includes a housing, an operating mechanism, an electromagnetic system, a thermal release, an arc extinguishing system, a contact system 30 and two sets of terminal blocks 60.

[0036] The housing includes a base 11 and an upper cover 12. The base 11 and the upper cover 12 are fastened by riveting. Of course, in addition to riveting, snap-fit ​​connection, screw fastening, etc. can also be used. Moreover, it can be fastened by a single fastening method or by a combination of snap-fit ​​connection and riveting. Through the above fastening method, the base 11 and the upper cover 12 can be stably connected, so that the internal space is stable, which is conducive to the installation of the operating mechanism, the electromagnetic system, the thermal release, the arc extinguishing system, the contact system 30 and the two sets of terminal blocks 60.

[0037] The operating mechanism includes a handle 21, a connecting rod 22, a jumper 23, a lock 24, a lock mounting member 25, a main spring 26 and a contact support 27. Here, the contact support 27 is rotatably connected to the housing through a hinge shaft, and the main spring 26 is abutted between one side of the contact support 27 and the inner wall of the housing. The jumper 23 and the lock 24 are rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the contact support 27, and specifically, the jumper 23 and the lock 24 are respectively sleeved on two shafts on the contact support 27, thereby forming a rotatable connection. The handle 21 is rotatably connected to the housing, and the non-rotating center position of the handle 21 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 22, and the other end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to the jumper 23. The lock mounting member 25 is installed on the lower surface of the contact support 27, and the lock 24 and the lock mounting member 25 are locked and the locked position is located on one side of the contact support 27. The lock catch mounting member 25 is provided with an elastic foot 25a, which abuts against the inner wall of the housing to provide a restoring force to the lock catch 24. When the operating mechanism is in the closed state, the lock catch 24 and the trip catch 23 are engaged with each other so that the operating mechanism maintains a steady state. When the lock catch 24 rotates, the engagement between the lock catch 24 and the trip catch 23 is released, the steady state of the operating mechanism is broken, and the contact support 27 moves to the open position under the action of the main spring 26, that is, the operating mechanism performs the open operation.

[0038] The contact system 30 includes a moving contact and a stationary contact. The moving contact is arranged on the contact support 27. Under the action of the operating mechanism, the moving contact moves to achieve connection and disconnection with the stationary contact.

[0039] The thermal release includes a bimetallic strip 41 and a pull rod 42, one end of the pull rod 42 is connected to the lock buckle 24, and the other end of the pull rod 42 is in the deformation direction of the bimetallic strip 41. When the line is overloaded, the bimetallic strip 41 bends and deforms, driving the pull rod 42 to move, causing the lock buckle 24 to rotate (breaking the engagement with the trip buckle 23), thereby achieving tripping.

[0040] The magnetic release includes a yoke 71, a coil 72, a frame 73, a moving iron core 77, a static iron core 75, a push rod 76 and a compression spring 78. The moving iron core 77, the static iron core 75, the push rod 76 and the compression spring 78 are located inside the frame 73. The static iron core 75 partially extends beyond the frame 73. The coil 72 is wound around the frame 73, the moving iron core 77 is slidably arranged, the static iron core 75 and the moving iron core 77 are spaced apart, the compression spring 78 is arranged between the push rod 76 and the static iron core 75, and the push rod 76 is arranged on the side of the moving iron core 77 facing the static iron core 75. When a short circuit occurs in the line, the moving iron core 77 pushes the push rod to move, so that the push rod 76 passes through the static iron core 75. Since the magnetic release is located next to the lock buckle 24, the push rod can act on the lock buckle 24 to rotate it (breaking the engagement with the trip buckle 23), thereby achieving the opening of the gate.

[0041] The arc extinguishing system includes an arc extinguishing hood 51, an arc striking plate and other structures, and its function is to extinguish the arc generated when the contact system 30 is disconnected. There is an installation chamber for the arc extinguishing hood 51 on the shell, and a guide rib group is arranged at the front of the installation chamber (that is, the arc entrance of the arc extinguishing hood 51). Here, whether it is the upper cover 12 or the base 11, a guide rib group is arranged at this position, and the number of guide ribs 121 in the guide rib group here is six, and they are arranged parallel to each other. A flow channel 122 is formed between two adjacent guide ribs 121, and the arc gas can flow to the arc extinguishing hood 51 along the flow channel 122 and the guide rib 121. Here, the guide rib 121 is interrupted, that is, a conducting port 123 is opened on the guide rib 121, so that all the flow channels 122 can be connected to each other. The purpose of this is to make the path through which the arc gas flows longer, which is conducive to extinguishing the arc.

[0042] The two groups of connection terminals 60 respectively include a first connection terminal and a second connection terminal, which are used to be connected in the circuit. For example, the first connection terminal is connected to the load, and the second connection terminal is connected to the power supply.

[0043] The following focuses on the installation structure of the handle 21 and the return spring.

[0044] The return spring includes a ring portion 100a, a first leg 100b and a second leg 100c, wherein the first leg 100b and the second leg 100c are connected via the ring portion 100a, and the first leg 100b and the second leg 100c extend from the ring portion 100a toward the periphery, and the extending directions of the first leg 100b and the second leg 100c are different, that is, the first leg 100b and the second leg 100c are arranged at an angle.

[0045] The handle 21 includes a grip portion 21a and a rotating portion 21b, wherein the rotating portion 21b includes a body 21b1, a peripheral wall 21b2, and a clamping protrusion 21b3. A through hole is provided on the body 21b1, through which a rotation connection is formed with the rotating column of the housing. The peripheral wall 21b2 is in a "C" shape, and the peripheral wall 21b2 is connected to a part of the periphery of the body 21b1 (surrounding the installation space forming the installation ring portion 100a), and the peripheral wall 21b2 includes a first end 21b21 and a second end 21b22, and the clamping protrusion 21b3 is arranged beside the first end 21b21 of the peripheral wall 21b2, and the clamping protrusion 21b3 is arranged at a distance from the first end 21b21. In this way, since there is a portion of the periphery of the body 21b1 without the clamping protrusion 21b3 and the peripheral wall 21b2, this portion is equivalent to a notch 21b4, and the notch 21b4 is the initial installation position of the first leg 100b. The clamping protrusion 21b3 has a first surface 21b31 adjacent to the first end 21b21, and the first surface 21b31 is provided with a clamping hook 21b32, and the clamping hook 21b32 here faces the first end 21b21. Here, the engaging protrusion 21b3 includes a first surface 21b31, a hook inner surface 21b321, a hook outer surface 21b322, a top surface 21b33 and a second surface 21b34 which are connected in sequence. Thus, when the first foot 100b is installed (the second surface 21b34), the first foot 100b moves from the initial installation position through the second surface 21b34, the top surface 21b33, the hook outer surface 21b322 until it is hooked on the hook inner surface 21b321. Here, the first foot 100b will deform during the movement, so the first foot 100b will also have a deformation amount when it is finally hooked. The second foot 100c is always in the slot 21b5, and the slot 21b5 is located near the second end 21b22 of the peripheral wall 21b2.

[0046] Here, the hook 21b32 is higher than the peripheral wall 21b2, that is to say, the engaging protrusion 21b3 is higher than the peripheral wall 21b2. In order to facilitate the installation of the first foot 100b, a second guide surface and a first guide surface 21b35 are also provided. The first guide surface 21b35 here is connected between the second surface 21b34 and the top surface 21b33, and the first guide surface 21b35 is a gradually rising inclined surface, which gradually rises from the second surface 21b34 to the direction where the top surface 21b33 is located. The second guide surface is the outside of the hook 21b32, which is a gradually descending inclined surface, specifically, the top surface 21b33 gradually descends toward the direction away from the second surface 21b34. In this way, when installing the first foot 100b, the first foot 100b is more likely to gradually rise along the first guide surface 21b35, and then cross the top surface 21b33 and the first guide surface 21b35 until it is hooked on the inner surface 21b321 of the hook. Of course, the first guide surface and the second guide surface may also be designed as curved surfaces in addition to inclined surfaces.

[0047] After the handle 21 and the return spring are installed in this way (a relatively stable installation structure is formed between the two), they only need to be installed into the shell so that the first foot 100b abuts against the abutting boss 111 in the shell to complete the assembly of the handle 21 and the shell.
