DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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.

[0022] The utility model provides Figures 1 to 5 A safety circuit breaker is shown, which can isolate electric fire, and comprises a circuit breaker housing 1. Both sides of the circuit breaker housing 1 are provided with connection terminals 2 connected to the circuit system. The inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing 1 is rotatably connected with a ceramic shaft 3. A channel 4 is provided inside the ceramic shaft 3. A connecting wire 5 is provided in the inner cavity of the channel 4. Both ends of the connecting wire 5 are provided with movable terminals 6. A first supporting spring 7 is provided in the channel 4. Both ends of the first supporting spring 7 are respectively fitted to the opposite sides of the movable terminal 6. Receiving grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing 1. The inner cavity of the receiving groove 8 is movably provided with a movable terminal 9 electrically connected to the connection terminal. One end of the movable terminal 6 away from the first supporting spring 7 passes through the inner cavity of the receiving groove 8 and fits with the movable terminal 9. A protective cover 10 fitted with the ceramic shaft 3 is provided at the front end of the circuit breaker housing 1.

[0023] By placing the ceramic shaft 3 inside the circuit breaker housing 1 and then sealing it with a protective cover 10, the position of the channel 4 is adjusted by rotating the ceramic shaft 3. When the channel 4 is misaligned with the receiving slot 8, the movable terminal 6 is separated from the active terminal 9, and the ceramic shaft 3 isolates the active terminals 9 at both ends to play an isolation and protection role. When the channel 4 is aligned with the receiving slot 8, the active terminal 9 and the connecting terminal are tightly fitted under the support of the first support spring 7 and the second support spring 13, thereby ensuring the connectivity of the circuit and improving the safety of the circuit breaker.

[0024] A protrusion 11 is integrally formed on the surface of the ceramic shaft 3, and a through groove 12 is opened at the center of the protective cover 10. The end of the protrusion 11 away from the ceramic shaft 3 penetrates the through groove 12 and extends outward. The setting of the protrusion 11 facilitates the rotation of the ceramic shaft 3 and the adjustment of the position of the channel 4.

[0025] A second supporting spring 13 is fixed to the inner cavity of the storage groove 8, and the facing end of the second supporting spring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable terminal 9. The second supporting spring 13 is arranged to facilitate supporting the movable terminal 9, and then the movable terminal 9 is fit with the movable terminal 6 to avoid the movable terminal 9 being fixed in position. When the ceramic shaft 3 is rotated, the movable terminal 6 shrinks in the box channel 4, causing the distance between the movable terminal 6 and the movable terminal 9 to gradually increase. During this period, the movable terminal 6 and the movable terminal 9 are not in contact but the distance is too close, which can easily lead to the occurrence of tip discharge and generate electric sparks.

[0026] A threaded hole is provided on the side facing the mobile terminal 6, and the inner cavity of the threaded hole is threadedly connected to a fastening screw 14 with a pressing plate. The end of the connecting wire 5 is wrapped around the outside of the fastening screw 14 and limited by the pressing plate. The connecting wire 5 can be connected to the mobile terminal 6 through the fastening screw 14, and the connecting wire 5 can be easily replaced.

[0027] Limiting columns 15 are fixed at both ends of the ceramic shaft 3, and guide grooves 16 are opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing 1. The limiting columns 15 are located in the inner cavity of the guide grooves 16. The limiting columns 15 increase the stability of the ceramic shaft 3 in the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing 1, so that the ceramic shaft 3 rotates with the limiting columns 15 as the rotation axis, ensuring the alignment of the channel 4 and the receiving groove 8, thereby preventing the movable terminal 6 from being unable to be inserted into the receiving groove 8 and contacting the movable terminal 9.

[0028] An arc-shaped chamfer is provided at one end of the movable terminal 6 away from the first support spring 7, and grooves 17 aligned with the movable terminal 6 are also provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing 1. Through the setting of the arc-shaped chamfer, the movable terminal 6 can be quickly retracted into the channel 4 when the ceramic shaft 3 is rotated.

[0029] There are multiple groups of countersunk holes around the surface of the protective cover 10, and mounting screws 18 are movably arranged in the countersunk holes. The mounting screws 18 pass through the protective cover 10 and are threadedly connected to the circuit breaker housing 1. By setting the mounting screws 18, the protective cover 10 can be installed, and the protective cover 10 and the circuit breaker housing 1 are used to limit the ceramic rotating shaft 3.

[0030] During specific use, the ceramic shaft 3 is placed inside the circuit breaker housing 1, and then the limiting column 15 is moved inward along the guide groove 16, and then the protective cover 10 is connected to the circuit breaker housing 1 by installing the screws 18. When the channel 4 is aligned with the storage groove 8, the movable terminal 6 and the movable terminal 9 are fitted together under the support of the first support spring 7 and the second support spring 13, and the connecting terminals 2 on both sides are connected by the connecting wire 5. When the ceramic shaft 3 is driven to rotate by the protrusion 11, the movable terminal 6 shrinks along the arc chamfered box channel 4, and then as the ceramic shaft 3 continues to rotate, when the movable terminal 9 is separated from the movable terminal 6, the two are isolated by the ceramic shaft 3 to avoid discharge and sparks. At the same time, the movable terminal 6 is moved into the groove 17 under the support of the first support spring 7 to limit the ceramic shaft 3.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
