[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to a release. Background Art

[0002] The release is mechanically connected to the circuit breaker and is a device used to release the holding mechanism and automatically disconnect the circuit breaker. The release usually includes a reaction spring, a pin, an electromagnetic component and a release contact linked to the circuit breaker. The main working principle of the release is that when it is not working, the suction force between the pin and the magnet is balanced with the elastic force accumulated in the reaction spring. If the release is energized and the pin receives the magnetic field force, the combined force of the magnetic field force and the reaction spring is greater than the suction force of the magnet, and the pin pushes the release contact to cut off the circuit.

[0003] A patent document with the publication number CN203826314U provides a release. This published patent document prevents radial shaking of the outer sleeve and the middle sleeve due to vibration by cooperating with a card strip and a card slot, realizes radial positioning of the outer sleeve and the middle sleeve, thereby reducing the probability of misoperation of the release. Moreover, when the push rod pushes the contact, the outer sleeve and the middle sleeve will not rotate relative to each other, preventing the push rod from tilting, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the release. No reset device is provided in the above-mentioned published patent document, and the release contacts cannot be automatically reset when they are pushed open by the push rod, which brings inconvenience to the use of the release.

When the contact is pushed open, downward pressure is applied to the reset plate, so that the inner top wall of the adjusting groove abuts against the top of the limit rod, thereby achieving force balance. Similarly, when the magnetic field force on the ejector pin disappears, it will return to the inside of the shell, and the elastic force of the contraction spring will apply a pulling force to the extension plate and the connecting plate to make them move closer to each other. The reset plate is moved upward with the extension plate, so that the inner bottom wall of the adjusting groove abuts against the bottom of the limit rod. The reset plate applies an upward supporting force to the contact through the connecting plate and the connecting rod, so that the contact rotates to its original position, that is, the contact can be automatically reset without manual reset, making the releaser more convenient to use.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4A release device comprises a shell 1, an upper cover 2 and an ejector 6. An electromagnetic component is arranged inside the shell 1. A through hole 3 is opened at the upper end of the upper cover 2. A middle sleeve 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper cover 2 above the through hole 3. An outer sleeve 5 is sleeved on the outer surface of the middle sleeve 4. A positioning frame 7 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the upper cover 2 on one side of the middle sleeve 4. A rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the positioning frame 7. The outer surface of the rotating rod 8 is located on the inner side of the positioning frame 7 and is fixedly sleeved with a contact 9. The bottom of the contact 9 abuts against the top of the ejector 6. The outer surface of the rotating rod 8 is located on both sides of the positioning frame 7 and is symmetrically fixedly sleeved with connecting plates 10. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly installed between the two connecting plates 10. A mounting frame 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the shell 1. A limiting rod 18 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 17. A reset plate 12 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the limiting rod 18. An adjusting groove 14 is opened inside the reset plate 12 near the bottom. The reset plate 12 is fixedly connected to an extension plate 12 near the side of the shell 1. The extension plate 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10 through the contraction spring 15. When in use, the ejector pin 6 receives the magnetic field force to push the contact 9 open and cut off the circuit. When the contact 9 is pushed open, it rotates with the rotating rod 8, and the force is transmitted through the connecting plate 10 and the connecting rod 11. When the contact 9 is pushed open, it will exert downward pressure on the reset plate 12, so that the inner top wall of the adjustment groove 14 abuts against the top of the limit rod 18 to achieve force balance. Similarly, when the magnetic field force on the ejector pin 6 disappears, it will return to When the breaker is in the interior of the housing 1, the elastic force of the contraction spring 15 applies a pulling force to the extension plate 16 and the connecting plate 10 to bring them closer to each other. The extension plate 16 moves the reset plate 12 upward, so that the inner bottom wall of the adjustment slot 14 abuts against the bottom of the limit rod 18. The reset plate 12 applies an upward supporting force to the contact 9 through the connecting plate 10 and the connecting rod 11, so that the contact 9 rotates to its original position, that is, the contact 9 can be automatically reset without manual reset, making the releaser more convenient to use.

[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a notch 13 is provided at the top of the reset plate 12, the top of the notch 13 fits with the bottom of the connecting rod 11, the inner diameter of the notch 13 matches the outer diameter of the connecting rod 11, and the adjustment groove 14 matches the limit rod 18, so that the reset plate 12 and the connecting rod 11 are easily connected when in use.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the number of connecting plates 10, extension plates 16 and contraction springs 15 are all set to two, and the two connecting plates 10, extension plates 16 and contraction springs 15 are symmetrically distributed about the contact 9. When in use, the two contraction springs 15 can more evenly distribute the force when bearing loads, have better elastic stability, more uniform wear between the spring pieces, and longer service life.

[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, positioning blocks 20 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper surface of the shell 1, and positioning grooves 19 are symmetrically opened on the bottom of the upper cover 2. The positioning grooves 19 are adapted to the positioning blocks 20. When in use, the positioning grooves 19 and the positioning blocks 20 cooperate with each other to facilitate positioning of the upper cover 2 and to facilitate installation of the upper cover 2 on the shell 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a hollow groove is opened inside the middle sleeve 4, and a force spring 24 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the hollow groove. The other end of the force spring 24 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the outer sleeve 5. When in use, the force spring 24 realizes a fixed connection between the middle sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, clamping strips 21 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the outer surface of the middle sleeve 4, and clamping blocks 22 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the outer surface of the outer sleeve 5. A clamping groove 23 is provided inside the clamping block 22, and the clamping strip 21 is adapted to the clamping groove 23. During use, the clamping strip 21 cooperates with the clamping groove 23 to prevent radial shaking of the outer sleeve 5 and the middle sleeve 4 due to vibration, thereby realizing radial positioning of the outer sleeve 5 and the middle sleeve 4, thereby reducing the probability of misoperation of the releaser, and when the ejector pin 6 pushes the contact 9, the outer sleeve 5 and the middle sleeve 4 will not rotate relative to each other, thereby preventing the ejector pin 6 from tilting, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the releaser.

[0034] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the centers of the through hole 3, the ejector pin 6, the middle sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 5 are on the same vertical line, so that the ejector pin 6 can pass through the through hole 3, the middle sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 5 conveniently during use.

[0035] Working principle: when using a release of the present application, the ejector pin 6 receives the magnetic field force to push the contact 9 open and cuts off the circuit. When the contact 9 is pushed open, it rotates with the rotating rod 8, and the force is transmitted through the connecting plate 10 and the connecting rod 11. When the contact 9 is pushed open, it will exert downward pressure on the reset plate 12, so that the inner top wall of the adjusting groove 14 abuts against the top of the limiting rod 18 to achieve force balance. Similarly, when the magnetic field force on the ejector pin 6 disappears, it will return to the inside of the shell 1, and the elastic force of the contraction spring 15 will apply a pulling force to the extension plate 16 and the connecting plate 10 to make them close to each other. The reset plate 12 moves upward with the extension plate 16, so that the inner bottom wall of the adjusting groove 14 abuts against the bottom of the limiting rod 18, and the reset plate 12 exerts an upward supporting force on the contact 9 through the connecting plate 10 and the connecting rod 11, so that the contact 9 rotates to its original position, that is, the contact 9 can be automatically reset without manual reset, making the release more convenient to use.
