Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical appliances, in particular to a contact supporting structure for a moving contact of a circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] Universal circuit breaker is a low-voltage electrical equipment component with large capacity. It is frequently used in various electrical systems. It can ensure the connection and disconnection of the circuit under rated load, and automatically disconnect the circuit in abnormal circuit conditions such as overload, short circuit, undervoltage, etc. It can also completely isolate the load from the power supply by separating the moving and static contacts.
[0003] The moving contact of the universal circuit breaker belongs to the circuit breaker contact system, which is fixed in the base and can be rotated to realize the closing and opening of the circuit breaker. The moving contact is connected to the operating mechanism through a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is assembled in the shaft supported by the moving contact, and the other end is connected to the cantilever of the operating mechanism through a shaft. The length of the connecting rod determines the contact pressure and the size of the overtravel. The connecting rod belongs to the moving contact assembly. After the moving contact assembly is assembled, it is assembled in the cavity of the front base. The static contact assembly is assembled in the rear base assembly. After the front base assembly and the rear base assembly are assembled, the front base and the rear base are assembled into a body. Then the operating mechanism is assembled on the body, and the moving contact is connected to the operating mechanism through a connecting rod. During the installation process of the moving contact, the contact spring is more likely to be skewed, resulting in the contact spring being more likely to fail, causing the entire circuit breaker to fail; during the installation process, it is also more likely that the contact spring is not installed in place, making the moving contact more likely to be damaged, reducing the service life of the entire circuit breaker. When wear affects the contact pressure and overtravel, the contact overtravel distance cannot be observed intuitively, or there is a problem with the contact support and replacement is required. The moving contact assembly needs to be disassembled and disassembled before the moving contact can be replaced. The disassembled contact support is damaged and cannot be used again.
