Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0040] In order to facilitate the regular storage of wires and ensure the stability of the connection between the circuit board and the electromagnetic relay, the circuit board and the electromagnetic relay can be simultaneously installed in the outer shell of the circuit breaker as an integral module, thereby shortening the assembly time of the residual current operated circuit breaker. This embodiment provides an electromagnetic trip module and a residual current operated circuit breaker. Figures 1 to 8 The specific contents of this embodiment are described in detail.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides an electromagnetic trip module 100, which includes an electromagnetic relay 1 and an electronic component unit 2. The electromagnetic relay 1 includes a first protective shell 11, and a positioning assembly and a support member 115 are provided on the installation side of the first protective shell 11. The electronic component unit 2 includes a circuit board 21, and the circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic relay 1 through a wire. The circuit board 21 is placed on one side of the first protective shell 11 and is clamped with the positioning assembly, and the circuit board 21 is supported by the support member 115, so that a storage space is formed between the circuit board 21 and the first protective shell 11, and the storage space is used to store the wire.

[0042] In short, the electromagnetic trip module 100 provided by the utility model assembles the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 into an integral module, and there is no need to separately install the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 into the circuit breaker, which is convenient for the modular assembly of the residual current operated circuit breaker and shortens the time of mass production. A positioning component and a support member 115 are provided on the first protective shell 11 of the electromagnetic relay 1, and the circuit board 21 of the electronic component unit 2 is placed on the support member 115 and the circuit board 21 is engaged with the positioning component to ensure the connection stability between the electromagnetic relay 1 and the electronic component unit 2. Since the support member 115 is located between the circuit board 21 and the first protective shell 11, when the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 complete the wiring between the two through the wire, the excess wire can be neatly stored in the accommodation space formed between the circuit board 21 and the first protective shell 11, which is convenient for the neat storage of the wire.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 3 Combination Figure 4 As shown, the first protective shell 11 includes a shell 111 and a cover 112 that are interlocked, and the positioning assembly includes a first hook 113 and a second hook 114. The installation side of the shell 111 is provided with a first hook 113 and a plurality of support members 115, and the installation side of the cover 112 is provided with a second hook 114. A receiving groove is provided in the shell 111 for placing the parts of the electromagnetic relay 1. In this embodiment, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 can be, but not limited to, an L-shaped or L-like structure, and the circuit board 21 is installed on the first protective shell 11 by the cooperation of the first hook 113 and the second hook 114. The support member 115 is used to maintain an adaptive spacing between the circuit board 21 and the upper surface of the shell 111 to meet the placement of excess wires.

[0044] Furthermore, the first hook 113 and the second hook 114 are diagonally distributed, and the first hook 113 is provided with a support member 115 correspondingly, and a first clamping space 118 is formed between the support member 115 and the first hook 113. The second hook 114 is provided with a support member 115 correspondingly, and a second clamping space 119 is formed between the support member 115 and the second hook 114, and the circuit board 21 is clamped in the first clamping space 118 and the second clamping space 119. There is no need to install positioning components around the first protective shell 11, and only the two ends of the circuit board 21 along its own diagonal are clamped in the first clamping space 118 and the second clamping space 119 respectively, so that the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 can be stably assembled, and the circuit board 21 is prevented from moving in the Z direction. The friction between the circuit board 21 and the hook is used to prevent the circuit board 21 from moving in the X direction or the Y direction. There is no need to install positioning components around the first protective shell 11, which reduces the number of positioning components to be installed.

[0045] Optionally, the circuit board 21 is provided with a first limiting notch 211 and a second limiting notch 212 at intervals along the diagonal line, the side wall of the first limiting notch 211 abuts against the first hook 113, and the side wall of the second limiting notch 212 abuts against the second hook 114. By adding the first limiting notch 211 and the second limiting notch 212, the movement of the circuit board 21 in the X direction or the Y direction is limited by utilizing the structural interference between the circuit board 21 and the first hook 113 and the second hook 114.

[0046] Exemplarily, the head of the first hook 113 and / or the second hook 114 is provided with a chamfer 116. In this embodiment, the head of the second hook 114 is provided with a chamfer 116. In the process of clamping the circuit board 21 with the first protective shell 11, one end of the circuit board 21 is first obliquely clamped into the first clamping space 118, and then the other end of the circuit board 21 is brought into contact with the chamfer 116 and the circuit board 21 is pressed downward, so that the second hook 114 is elastically deformed, and then the other end of the circuit board 21 is clamped into the second clamping space 119.

[0047] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the present embodiment further provides a residual current operated circuit breaker, which comprises an outer protective shell 200, an operating mechanism 300 and the electromagnetic tripping module 100 mentioned above, wherein the operating mechanism 300 and the electromagnetic tripping module 100 are both arranged in the outer protective shell 200. Among them, after the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 complete the wiring between the two through the wires, the excess wires can be neatly stored in the accommodation space formed between the circuit board 21 and the first protective shell 11, which is convenient for the neat storage of the wires, and the electronic component unit 2 and the electromagnetic relay 1 can be simultaneously loaded into the outer protective shell of the circuit breaker as an integral module, thereby shortening the assembly time of the residual current operated circuit breaker. It should be noted that the first direction mentioned in this embodiment is Figure 8 The X direction in .

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the operating mechanism 300 includes a second protective shell 301, a limiting plug 302 is provided on one side of the second protective shell 301, the limiting plug 302 extends along the first direction, and a plug hole 117 is provided on the electromagnetic tripping module 100, and the limiting plug 302 is plugged into the plug hole 117. The assembly of the electromagnetic tripping module 100 and the operating mechanism 300 is achieved by plugging. Exemplarily, at least two plug holes 117 are provided on the side wall surface of the first protective shell 11, and at least two limiting plugs 302 are provided on the side wall of the second protective shell 301. The at least two plug holes 117 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two limiting plugs 302. By increasing the number of limiting plugs 302 and the plug hole 117, not only the assembly stability of the electromagnetic tripping module 100 and the operating mechanism 300 is improved, but also the electromagnetic tripping module 100 is prevented from rotating relative to the operating mechanism 300.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 7 Combination Figure 8 As shown, the second protective shell 301 is provided with a lubricant window 303, and the residual current operated circuit breaker also includes a partition 400, which includes a first baffle 401 and a second baffle 402 connected vertically, and the first baffle 401 is overlapped on the second protective shell 301, so that the partition 400 can be hung on the second protective shell 301. The second baffle 402 is directly opposite to the lubricant window 303, and the second baffle 402 is used to cover the lubricant window 303. White lubricant is added to the handle 304 of the operating mechanism 300 and the lock. Since the handle 304 of the operating mechanism 300 is rotated, it is easy to cause the lubricant to splash through the lubricant window 303 to the inner surface of the outer protective shell 200. By adding a partition 400, the splash of the lubricant can be blocked, and the lubricant splashes on the partition 400, so as to protect the cleanliness of the surface of the outer protective shell 200. Exemplarily, the partition 400 is made of insulating cardboard.

[0050] Furthermore, at least two first terminals 201 are provided at intervals along the first direction at the first terminal of the outer shell 200, at least two second terminals 202 are provided at intervals along the first direction at the second terminal of the outer shell 200, at least two third terminals 403 are provided at intervals along the first direction at one end of the second baffle 402 away from the first baffle 401, and the third baffle 403 is inserted into the outer shell 200 and used to shield the first terminals 201. By adding the third baffle 403, electric short circuit between the first terminals 201 and components inside the circuit breaker can be avoided.

[0051] Further, one of the third baffles 403 is provided with a first limiting step 4031, and the side wall of the outer protective shell 200 is provided with a second limiting step, and the first limiting step 4031 is stopped at the second limiting step. By adding the second limiting step, the position of the partition 400 in the outer protective shell 200 is limited to prevent the partition 400 from moving in the first direction.

[0052] Furthermore, the residual current operated circuit breaker further comprises a shielding member 500, which is covered on the electromagnetic trip module 100. The shielding member 500 and the first protective shell 11 of the electromagnetic relay 1 of the electromagnetic trip module 100 are interference fit, and the shielding member 500 can effectively prevent the electromagnetic relay 1 from being affected by the working environment magnetic field and the load starting current.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described here, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention is described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
