Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of molded case circuit breakers, in particular to a humanized operating handle of an intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] A molded case circuit breaker is an electrical protection device used to detect faults and overload conditions in an electrical circuit and cut off the circuit when necessary. It is a circuit breaker with a plastic casing that provides electrical insulation and protects the internal components. The main components of a molded case circuit breaker include fuses, trigger mechanisms, thermal releases, and magnetic releases. A fuse is a current protection component that is usually made of metal wire. When an overload or short circuit occurs in a circuit, the fuse will break, interrupting the flow of current. The trigger mechanism is used to control the operation of the circuit breaker and can be manually operated or automatically triggered. Thermal releases and magnetic releases are two different fault conditions used to detect overloads and short circuits. Thermal releases trigger the circuit breaker by detecting the heat generated when the current exceeds the rated value, while magnetic releases trigger the circuit breaker by detecting instantaneous large currents in the circuit. The casing of a molded case circuit breaker is usually made of insulating plastic and has good electrical insulation properties, which can protect the internal circuit from the external environment and direct contact with touching electrical contacts. The dimensions and connection methods of molded case circuit breakers can be designed according to different application requirements to adapt to different electrical systems and installation requirements. Existing molded case circuit breakers generally include intelligent functions such as fault diagnosis and alarm, data recording and analysis, which effectively improve the protection effect of molded case circuit breakers.

[0003] However, the existing molded case circuit breakers have the following problems during use: the molded case circuit breaker is usually equipped with an operating handle for manually controlling the switch state and performing operations. The operating handle is located on the outer shell of the circuit breaker. However, during long-term idleness or aging, the operating handle may be blocked, resulting in laborious rotation operation. Therefore, it is necessary to design a corresponding technical solution to solve the existing technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a humanized operating handle of an intelligent molded case circuit breaker, comprising a molded case circuit breaker body 1 and an operating handle installed at the front end of the molded case circuit breaker body 1, the operating handle comprising a handle body 3 with an installation opening 2 opened inside and a stretching power assist component built into the installation opening 2, an inner embedding opening 4 opened at the upper end of the handle body 3, two groups of strip grooves 5 symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner embedding opening 4, a locking piece 6 installed in the strip groove 5, and the stretching power assist component comprising a hollow Plate 7, return spring 8, floating block 9, connecting column 10 and top plate 11. The return spring 8 is divided into two groups and is symmetrically installed in the hollow plate 7. The upper ends of the two groups of return springs 8 are connected to the floating block 9. The floating block 9 is slidably set in the hollow plate 7 and the upper end is connected to the top plate 11 through two groups of connecting columns 10. A handle groove 12 is formed between the top plate 11 and the two groups of connecting columns 10. The top plate 11 is located in the embedded opening 4 and has two groups of bayonet 13 symmetrically opened on both sides. The bayonet 13 is used in conjunction with the locking plate 6.

[0020] Further improvement, such as Figure 3As shown: the locking plate 6 includes a pressing plate 14 and an arc plate 15 fixed to the outer end of the pressing plate 14. The two ends of the connection between the pressing plate 14 and the arc plate 15 are connected to the handle body 3 through a latch. A clamping block 16 is fixed to the inner end of the pressing plate 14, and the clamping block 16 is buckled in the bayonet 13. By pressing the pressing plate 14, the pressing plate 14 rotates around the latch and causes the clamping block 16 to disengage from the bayonet 13.

[0021] Further improvement, such as Figure 3 As shown: the arc plate 15 has an arc surface structure and the outer end is a warped structure, a reset gasket 17 is arranged under the arc plate 15, and the reset gasket 17 is made of rubber material and has a stacked structure, which is convenient for pushing up the arc plate 15 so that the block 16 is stuck in the bayonet 13.

[0022] Further improvement, such as Figure 4 As shown, two groups of through openings 18 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the embedded opening 4, and two groups of connecting columns 10 pass through the two groups of through openings 18 respectively, so that the connecting columns 10 can move longitudinally along the through openings 18.

[0023] Specifically, the length and width of the top plate 11 are the same as those of the inner opening 4 , and the thickness of the top plate 11 is equal to the depth of the inner opening 4 , so that the top plate 11 can be easily accommodated in the inner opening 4 .

[0024] During use: When the staff finds it difficult to turn the operating handle, they can press the arc plate 15 to make the pressure plate 14 rotate around the latch and disengage the clamping block 16 from the clamping port 13. At this time, the floating block 9 floats up under the elastic force of the reset spring 8, and the connecting column 10 moves longitudinally along the through-hole 18 to disengage the top plate 11 from the embedded opening 4, thereby unfolding the stretch-type power-assisting assembly. At this time, the staff can hold the handle groove 12 and turn the operating handle to achieve the purpose of labor-saving rotation of the handle.
