[0038] First embodiment
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present application provides a circuit breaker 100, including a housing 10, a circuit board 21, an operating mechanism 30, a leakage release 40 and a power taking mechanism 50 arranged in the housing 10, wherein the power taking mechanism 50 is used to take power from the circuit board 21 and supply power to the leakage release 40; when the circuit breaker 100 is closed, the power taking mechanism 50 contacts the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 is connected to the leakage release 40 through the power taking mechanism 50; when the circuit breaker 100 is opened, the operating mechanism 30 abuts against the power taking mechanism 50, driving the power taking mechanism 50 to separate from the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 is disconnected from the leakage release 40. The circuit breaker 100 can solve the loss problem in the prior art caused by the circuit board 21 being in a continuously energized state to supply power to the leakage release 40.
[0040] It should be noted that if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the circuit breaker 100 includes a housing 10, a circuit board 21, an operating mechanism 30, a leakage release 40 and a power taking mechanism 50, so that the housing 10 provides support and protection for the circuit board 21, the operating mechanism 30, the leakage release 40 and the power taking mechanism 50, the circuit board 21 is connected to an external power supply to provide power, the opening and closing of the circuit breaker 100 is controlled by the operating mechanism 30, the leakage release 40 provides leakage protection for the power circuit, and the power taking mechanism 50 takes power from the circuit board 21 and supplies power to the leakage release 40, so as to ensure the reliable operation of the leakage release 40, thereby improving the safety performance of the circuit breaker 100.
[0041] Regarding the specific structures of the housing 10, the operating mechanism 30 and the leakage release 40, those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs with reference to the prior art, and no specific restrictions are made here. For example, the housing 10 may include two mutually interlocking sub-housings 10. In order to facilitate understanding of the internal structure of the circuit breaker 100, one of the sub-housings 10 is hidden in the figure; the operating mechanism 30 includes a handle 32 and a moving contact assembly 33, the handle 32 is rotatably arranged in the housing 10, and the handle 32 is driven to drive the moving contact assembly 33 to control the opening and closing of the circuit breaker 100, wherein, in this embodiment, the operating mechanism 30 may also include a button 31 to drive the handle 32 through the button 31, and of course, in other embodiments, the handle 32 may also be driven by a gear, and no specific restrictions are made here; the leakage release 40 includes a yoke 41, a leakage coil, a top rod, a moving iron core, an iron core spring and a static iron core, etc., to trip and disconnect the power circuit when a leakage fault occurs.
[0042] In the prior art, circuit breakers are powered by the circuit board for the leakage release device regardless of whether they are in the closed state or the open state, which causes the problem that the circuit board is in a continuously powered state. In order to solve the above problem, the circuit breaker 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a power supply mechanism 50 that is always electrically connected to the circuit board 21 and is in contact or separation with the leakage release device 40. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, when the circuit breaker 100 is in the closed state, the power taking mechanism 50 contacts the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 is connected to the leakage release 40 through the power taking mechanism 50, so that the circuit board 21 can supply power to the leakage release 40, ensuring that the leakage release 40 can work reliably; Figure 2 As shown, when the circuit breaker 100 is in the open state, the operating mechanism 30 abuts against the power taking mechanism 50, driving the power taking mechanism 50 to separate from the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 is disconnected from the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 no longer supplies power to the leakage release 40, thereby reducing unnecessary losses and increasing the service life of the circuit breaker 100.
[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the leakage release 40 includes a yoke 41, and the power taking mechanism 50 includes a power taking spring 51, which is rotatably arranged in the housing 10, one end of the power taking spring 51 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21, and the other end abuts against the operating mechanism 30 to store energy and has a movement tendency to rotate toward the side close to the yoke 41. The yoke 41 is connected to the leakage coil to power the leakage release 40 through the leakage coil.
[0044] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the circuit breaker 100 is in the open state, the other end of the power spring 51 abuts against the operating mechanism 30. During this process, the power spring 51 continuously stores elastic potential energy, and the other end of the power spring 51 has a tendency to rotate toward the side close to the yoke 41. When the circuit breaker 100 switches from the open state to the closed state, the operating mechanism 30 rotates clockwise relative to the housing 10. Figure 3 As shown, when the circuit breaker 100 is in the closed state, the operating mechanism 30 is separated from the other end of the power-taking spring 51, and no longer applies a resisting force to the other end of the power-taking spring 51. The other end of the power-taking spring 51 releases its elastic potential energy and rotates toward the side close to the yoke 41 under the action of the elastic potential energy until the other end of the power-taking spring 51 contacts the yoke 41. As a result, one end of the power-taking spring 51 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 and the other end is electrically connected to the yoke 41, so that the circuit between the circuit board 21 and the leakage release 40 is connected through the power-taking mechanism 50, so that the circuit board 21 can supply power to the leakage release 40.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the power-taking spring 51 includes a spring body 511 and a first extension arm 512 and a second extension arm 513 arranged on the spring body 511. The spring body 511 is rotatably arranged in the housing 10. The first extension arm 512 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The second extension arm 513 extends toward a side close to the operating mechanism 30 so that the second extension arm 513 is located on the rotation path of the operating mechanism 30. As a result, the operating mechanism 30 can abut against or separate from the second extension arm 513 during its rotation. The yoke 41 is located on the rotation path of the second extension arm 513. As a result, the second extension arm 513 can abut against or separate from the yoke 41 during its rotation.
[0046] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a second abutting portion 331 is provided on the moving contact assembly 33, and the second extension arm 513 is used to abut against the second abutting portion 331. Therefore, during the opening and closing process of the circuit breaker 100, the button 31 is driven to drive the handle 32 to rotate relative to the housing 10, so that the moving contact assembly 33 is actuated and abuts against or separates from the second extension arm 513.
[0047] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the power taking mechanism 50 also includes a power taking post 52, which is fixedly arranged on the circuit board 21, and the first extension arm 512 has a hook-shaped connecting portion 5121, which is hung on the power taking post 52, so that the power taking spring 51 is electrically connected to the circuit board 21 through the power taking post 52. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the end of the first extension arm 512 has a hook-shaped connection portion 5121, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the power spring 51 and the power post 52 and avoid interference with the rotation of the power spring 51 relative to the housing 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the first extension arm 512 can also have a circular ring connection portion, so as to be sleeved on the power post 52 through the circular ring connection portion.
[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the yoke 41 includes a yoke body 411 and a power-taking portion 412 disposed on the yoke body 411, the power-taking portion 412 is located on the rotation path of the second extension arm 513, and the second extension arm 513 contacts the power-taking portion 412, so that the power-taking spring 51 is connected to the yoke 41. In other words, the power-taking portion 412 is located within a fan-shaped range formed by taking the rotation center of the spring body 511 as the center of the circle, the length of the second extension arm 513 as the radius, and the rotation angle of the second extension arm 513 as the central angle, so as to ensure that the power-taking portion 412 is in contact with the second extension arm 513, so that the circuit board 21 is connected to the yoke 41 through the power-taking column 52 and the power-taking spring 51.
[0049] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the power taking portion 412 extends in a direction perpendicular to the yoke body 411 toward a side away from the circuit board 21. Regarding the specific length of the power taking portion 412, those skilled in the art should be able to reasonably design it according to the height of the second extension arm 513, and it is only necessary to make the length of the power taking portion 412 greater than or equal to the height of the second extension arm 513 to ensure that the power taking portion 412 can achieve contact with the second extension arm 513.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting portion 413 is further provided at one end of the power taking portion 412 away from the yoke body 411, and the yoke body 411, the power taking portion 412 and the limiting portion 413 together form a semi-enclosed structure to limit the second extension arm 513, thereby preventing the second extension arm 513 from being separated from the power taking portion 412 at one end of the power taking portion 412 away from the yoke body 411, so as to further ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the power taking spring 51 and the yoke 41. Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting portion 413 is parallel to the yoke body 411 and is spaced apart so that the cross-sectional shape of the semi-enclosed structure formed by the yoke body 411 , the power taking portion 412 and the limiting portion 413 is U-shaped.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting post 11 is provided on the shell 10, and a power-taking spring 51 is sleeved on the mounting post 11, so that the power-taking spring 51 is rotatably arranged in the shell 10, so that when the circuit breaker 100 is closed, the power-taking spring 51 can be rotated to contact the leakage release 40, thereby connecting the power supply; when the circuit breaker 100 is opened, the power-taking spring 51 can be rotated to separate from the leakage release 40 under the action of the moving contact assembly 33, thereby disconnecting the power supply.
[0052] Second embodiment
[0053] Please refer to Figures 6 to 10 The embodiment of the present application provides a circuit breaker 100, including a housing 10 and a circuit board 21, an operating mechanism 30, a leakage release 40 and a power supply mechanism 50 arranged in the housing 10. The power supply mechanism 50 is used to draw power from the circuit board 21 and supply power to the leakage release 40. The power supply mechanism 50 includes a power supply spring 51 and a power supply post 52. The power supply post 52 is fixedly arranged on the circuit board 21. Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, the power supply spring 51 is always electrically connected to the leakage release 40 and is in contact with or separated from the power supply post 52. Specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the circuit breaker 100 is in the closed state, the power taking spring 51 contacts the power taking column 52, so that the circuit board 21 is connected to the leakage release 40 through the power taking mechanism 50, so that the circuit board 21 can supply power to the leakage release 40, ensuring that the leakage release 40 can work reliably; Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the circuit breaker 100 is in the open state, the operating mechanism 30 abuts against the power-taking spring 51, driving the power-taking spring 51 to separate from the power-taking column 52, so that the circuit board 21 is disconnected from the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 no longer supplies power to the leakage release 40, thereby reducing unnecessary losses and increasing the service life of the circuit breaker 100.
[0054] like Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the leakage release 40 includes a yoke 41, and a power-taking spring 51 is rotatably arranged in the housing 10. One end of the power-taking spring 51 is electrically connected to the yoke 41, and the other end is held against the operating mechanism 30 to store energy and has a tendency to rotate toward a side close to the power-taking post 52. Specifically, the power-taking spring 51 includes a spring body 511 and a third extension arm 514 and a fourth extension arm 515 arranged on the spring body 511. The spring body 511 is rotatably arranged in the housing 10, the third extension arm 514 is electrically connected to the yoke 41, and the fourth extension arm 515 extends toward a side close to the operating mechanism 30, so that the fourth extension arm 515 is located on the rotation path of the operating mechanism 30, and the power-taking post 52 is located on the rotation path of the fourth extension arm 515. In this embodiment, a first supporting portion 321 is provided on the handle 32, so that when the circuit breaker 100 is closed, the power supply spring 51 can be rotated until the fourth extension arm 515 contacts the power supply post 52, thereby connecting the power supply; when the circuit breaker 100 is opened, the power supply spring 51 can be rotated under the action of the handle 32 until the fourth extension arm 515 is separated from the power supply post 52, thereby disconnecting the power supply.
[0055] Third embodiment
[0056] Please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The embodiment of the present application provides a circuit breaker 100, including a housing 10 and a circuit board 21 (not shown in the figure) disposed in the housing 10, a test button 60, a leakage release 40 and a power supply mechanism 50. The power supply mechanism 50 is used to draw power from the circuit board 21 and supply power to the leakage release 40. Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, the test button 60 is in contact with the power supply mechanism 50, and the test button 60 is used to drive the power supply mechanism 50 to contact or separate from the leakage release 40, so as to connect or disconnect the circuit board 21 with the leakage release 40. Among them, as Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the power-taking mechanism 50 includes a power-taking spring 51 and a power-taking post 52. The power-taking spring 51 is rotatably arranged in the shell 10, and the power-taking post 52 is fixedly arranged on the circuit board 21.

The test button 60 can be driven to drive the power-taking spring 51 to contact or separate from the leakage release 40.
[0057] Specifically, please follow Figure 11 to Figure 12Refer to the accompanying drawings in the order of, in the initial state, the power taking spring 51 is separated from the leakage release 40, and the test button 60 is pressed toward the side close to the leakage release 40, which can drive the power taking spring 51 to rotate relative to the housing 10, so that the side of the power taking spring 51 away from the test button 60 is in contact with the leakage release 40, so that the circuit board 21 is connected with the leakage release 40 through the power taking mechanism 50, and then the circuit board 21 can supply power to the leakage release 40, ensuring that the leakage release 40 can work reliably; please follow Figure 12 to Figure 11 Referring to the accompanying drawings, the test button 60 is reset toward the side away from the leakage release 40, which can drive the power-taking spring 51 to reverse relative to the housing 10, so that the side of the power-taking spring 51 away from the test button 60 is separated from the leakage release 40, thereby disconnecting the circuit board 21 from the leakage release 40, and then the circuit board 21 no longer supplies power to the leakage release 40, thereby reducing unnecessary losses and increasing the service life of the circuit breaker 100.
[0058] Please continue to refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The leakage release 40 includes a yoke 41, and a power-taking spring 51 is rotatably disposed in the housing 10.
