Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of small circuit breakers, and more specifically to a press-combination structure of small circuit breakers. Background Art

[0002] Miniature circuit breakers are suitable for overload and short-circuit protection of AC 50 / 60Hz rated voltage 230 / 400V, rated current up to 63A lines. They can also be used for infrequent line operation conversion under normal circumstances. Miniature circuit breakers are mainly used in various places such as industry, commerce, high-rise and residential buildings. The push-to-connect structure is a part of the miniature circuit breaker, which can directly connect or disconnect the circuit.

[0003] At present, the push-to-connect structure presses the button cap when in use, utilizing the action of the reset spring to make the bridge-type moving contact contact with the normally open moving contact or the normally closed static contact, thereby realizing rapid on-off of the circuit. However, the existing button caps are mostly integrally formed or installed by means of threaded connections, which are prone to thread slippage or jamming, making it difficult to quickly replace the button cap after damage. Secondly, the existing bridge-type moving contacts are mostly welded and fixed at the bottom end of the pressure rod. After being used many times, the bridge-type moving contacts will be squeezed and damaged, thereby affecting the on-off of the circuit. The welding and fixing method is more troublesome when replacing. Utility Model Content

As the button cap continues to move downward, when the limit block reaches the limit groove position, there is no obstruction, and the compression spring returns to its original state, so that the outer end of the limit block can be embedded in the limit groove, thereby limiting the button cap. The structure is easy to install and is not easy to fall off when not affected by external force. After damage, the button cap can be quickly replaced.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention specification; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 and Figure 2 All of them are schematic diagrams of the overall structure of the utility model, and combined with Figure 3 As shown, the push-to-connect structure of the miniature circuit breaker includes an outer shell 1, and a window that can be opened and closed can be set at the bottom end of the outer shell 1, and maintenance and other operations can be performed on the inside of the outer shell 1 through the window. A sleeve 2 is fixed at the top of the outer shell 1, and a pressure rod 13 is inserted inside the sleeve 2. A reset spring 14 is arranged outside the pressure rod 13, and the lower end of the pressure rod 13 extends to the inside of the outer shell 1. A bridge-type moving contact 9 is detachably installed at the bottom end of the pressure rod 13, and the detachably connected bridge-type moving contact 9 is convenient for its replacement. Normally closed static contacts 10 are installed at the upper ends of both sides of the inner side of the outer shell 1. , and the lower ends of both sides inside the outer shell 1 are installed with normally open moving contacts 11, and the normally closed static contacts 10 and the normally open moving contacts 11 are screwed and connected with wiring bolts 12. Both sides of the outer shell 1 are provided with wiring holes 5, and wiring is carried out through the wiring bolts 12. The connected wires can pass through the wiring holes 5. A connecting column 6 is fixed to the top of the pressure rod 13, and a button cap 3 is detachably provided on the top of the connecting column 6. A limit assembly 8 is provided between the button cap 3 and the connecting column 6. The limit assembly 8 is used to ensure the stability of the button cap 3 after installation to prevent it from slipping when not affected by external force.

[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the top of the connecting column 6 is connected to an axially hollow plug column 7, the lower end surface of the button cap 3 is provided with a slot 15, the plug column 7 is inserted and matched in the slot 15, and the inner wall of the plug column 7 is symmetrically provided with two limit grooves 16.

[0032] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the limit assembly 8 includes a limit block 81 and a compression spring 82. Two limit blocks 81 are provided, and the limit blocks 81 pass through the plug column 7. The compression spring 82 is connected between the two limit blocks 81, and the limit block 81 is embedded in the limit groove 16. When the compression spring 82 is in a natural state, the outer end of the limit block 81 protrudes outward from the plug column 7, and the outer end of the limit block 81 is an arc surface, which is convenient for applying force in and out of the limit groove 16.

[0033] Based on the above technical solutions:

[0034] When installing the button cap 3, first align the slot 15 on the lower end face of the button cap 3 with the plug post 7, and then press down the button cap 3. As the button cap 3 moves downward, the limit block 81 is first squeezed and compressed into the plug post 7 without leaking out. As the button cap 3 continues to move downward, when the limit block 81 reaches the limit groove 16, there is no obstruction, and the compression spring 82 returns to its original state, allowing the outer end of the limit block 81 to be embedded in the limit groove 16, thereby limiting the button cap 3. The installation is convenient and it is not easy to fall off without external force.

[0035] When removing the button cap 3, just pull up the button cap 3 with a little force.

[0036] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, a projection 4 is fixed to the outer wall of the button cap 3 .

[0037] Specifically, when the button cap 3 is pulled upward, the projection 4 is used to facilitate hand force application and reduce the occurrence of hand slippage.

[0038] In addition, see Figure 6 As shown, the middle of the upper end surface of the bridge type moving contact 9 is connected to a threaded rod 18 , the bottom end of the pressure rod 13 is connected to a threaded groove 17 , and the threaded rod 18 is screwed and connected to the threaded groove 17 .

[0039] Through the above, when installing the bridge type moving contact 9, it is sufficient to screw the threaded rod 18 into the threaded groove 17, thereby abandoning the welding fixation method, and facilitating replacement after damage.

[0040] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
