[0037] 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.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment provided by the utility model: a leakage circuit breaker comprises a shell 1, a groove 3 is provided at the top end of the inner rear side of the shell 1, a rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected inside the groove 3, a shell cover 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating rod 4, a torsion spring 6 is arranged on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod 4, one end of the torsion spring 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner part of the groove 3, and the other end of the torsion spring 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the shell cover 5, a top rod 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell cover 5, a placing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the shell 1, a tension spring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the tension spring 9, a pressing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner front end of the shell 1, a normally closed contact 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner front end of the shell 1, a normally open contact 12 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner front end of the shell 1, an L-shaped plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top front side of the shell cover 5, a bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the front side of the L-shaped plate 15, and the rear end of the bolt 16 passes through the L-shaped plate 15 and the shell 1 in sequence, and a clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on the rear side of the shell 1;

[0039] Specifically, when conducting a power frequency withstand voltage test, first loosening the bolt 16 can release the limit fixation of the L-shaped plate 15. Once the bolt 16 is loosened, the torsion spring 6 will immediately release the squeezed force and drive the shell cover 5 to rebound to a state perpendicular to the shell 1. This design not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also makes the operation process smoother. At the same time, the tension spring 9 will also release the squeezed force, thereby driving the pressure plate 10 to move upward. In the process of the pressure plate 10 moving upward, it will gradually approach the normally closed contact 11. When the pressure plate 10 contacts the normally closed contact 11, the circuit will be disconnected, thereby realizing the control of the leakage circuit breaker. During the entire operation process, there is no need to remove the embedded top cover. This means that the staff can complete the circuit disconnection work without disassembling the circuit breaker, which greatly improves the work efficiency. At the same time, this design also meets the needs of users, making the use of the leakage circuit breaker more convenient.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping mechanism 2 includes a fixed frame 201, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the shell 1. A plurality of partitions 202 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 201 at equal intervals. An open groove 203 is provided on one side of the partition 202 and the right side of the inner side of the fixed frame 201. A screw rod 204 is rotatably connected to the right side of the rear end of the fixed frame 201. The front end of the screw rod 204 penetrates the corresponding open groove 203. The outer side of the screw rod 204 is threadedly connected to a movable block 205. The left end of the movable block 205 is fixedly connected to a fixed rod 206. A plurality of clamping plates 207 are equidistantly arranged on the inner side of the fixed frame 201. The left end of the fixed rod 206 penetrates the plurality of clamping plates 207 in sequence. The movable block 205 is slidably connected to the corresponding inner side of the open groove 203. The clamping mechanism 2 also includes holes 209. The plurality of holes 209 are respectively and equidistantly provided on the top of the fixed frame 201.

[0041] Specifically, the external lines are first placed in the corresponding holes 209, and then the screw rod 204 is rotated. At this time, the movable block 205 starts to slide in the corresponding open groove 203. The sliding of the movable block 205 not only drives the movement of the fixed rod 206, but also realizes the pressing and fixing of the lines through the linkage between the fixed rod 206 and the multiple clamping plates 207, which can ensure that each line can be fully fixed. The whole fixing process is simple and fast, which greatly improves the practicality of the device.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The front side of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of square grooves 17 at equal intervals, and the same push switch 18 is rotatably connected inside the plurality of square grooves 17. The left and right sides of the housing 1 are fixedly connected with fixing plates 19, and the middle portions of the front sides of the two fixing plates 19 are provided with mounting holes 14;

[0043] Specifically, the operation of the device can be conveniently controlled by pushing the switch 18, and the provided mounting hole 14 can conveniently fix the housing 1 at a desired installation position.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 , the clamping mechanism 2 also includes a rubber pad 208, and a plurality of rubber pads 208 are respectively fixedly connected to the rear sides of the corresponding clamping plates 207;

[0045] Specifically, the rubber pad 208 can further increase the friction between the clamping plate 207 and the line, so that the line can be placed more stably.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 A limit rod 13 is provided on the inner side of the tension spring 9, and the bottom end of the limit rod 13 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the top end of the placement plate 8;

[0047] Specifically, the limiting rod 13 can prevent the tension spring 9 from shaking left and right when being squeezed, thereby preventing the stability of the device during operation.

[0048] Working principle: When using the leakage circuit breaker, close the shell cover 5 to make it parallel to the shell 1, and then tighten the bolts 16 to fix the shell cover 5. At this time, the top rod 7 will squeeze the pressure plate 10 to press the normally open contact 12, so that the leakage circuit breaker can work normally. When the leakage circuit breaker is subjected to the power frequency withstand voltage test, loosening the bolts 16 can release the limit fixation of the L-shaped plate 15. At this time, the torsion spring 6 will release the squeezed force and drive the shell cover 5 to rebound to be perpendicular to the shell 1. At the same time, the tension spring 9 will release the squeezed force and drive the pressure plate 10 to move upward until it contacts the normally closed contact. 11. At this time, the circuit in the circuit breaker can be disconnected, and there is no need to remove the embedded top cover to disconnect the circuit of the circuit breaker, thereby reducing the workload of the staff and meeting the needs of the user. Before using the device, the external lines are first placed in the corresponding holes 209, and then the screw rod 204 is rotated to drive the movable block 205 to slide in the corresponding opening groove 203. At this time, the fixing rod 206 on the left side of the movable block 205 will simultaneously drive the multiple clamping plates 207 to move and press and fix the line. It is relatively simple to fix the line, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
