[0027] Reference example Figures 1 to 5 A novel auxiliary contact comprises a base 1, a support frame 2 and an operating mechanism 3 are arranged in the base 1, static contacts 23 are arranged on both sides of both ends of the support frame 2, and moving contacts 34 are arranged on both sides of the operating mechanism 3, and are arranged between the static contacts 23 and abut against the static contact 23 at any end, and a conductive rod 4 is arranged between the moving contacts 34, so that the moving contacts 34 are electrically connected to each other, and the moving spring pieces 31 located on both sides of the operating mechanism 3 are mutually conductive through the conductive rod 4, when any one of the moving contacts 34 abuts against the static contacts 23 of the first static spring pieces 21 on both sides of the support frame 2, the two pressing screws 14 of the first wiring terminal 12 are energized at the same time, avoiding the situation that the two currents are energized successively due to errors generated in the actual manufacturing process, thereby overcoming the problems mentioned in the background technology and making the circuit energized without delay;

[0028] It is worth mentioning that a first static spring piece 21 is provided on both sides of one end of the support frame 2, and a second static spring piece 22 is provided on both sides of the other end of the support frame 2. The static contact 23 is fixedly arranged at the head of the first static spring piece 21 and the second static spring piece 22. The first static spring piece 21 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic release 11.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that the operating mechanism 3 includes a moving contact frame 32, grooves 321 are provided on both sides of the moving contact frame 32, and a moving spring 31 is provided in the groove 321. The moving contact 34 is fixedly arranged at the head of the moving spring 31. The moving contact frame 32 provides a support point for the moving spring 31, and the groove 321 provides a guide for the assembly of the moving spring frame. The moving contact 34 and the static contact 23 play a role in transmitting current, and play a role in determining whether the service life of the miniature circuit breaker is long.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that an end cover 5 is provided on the top of the base 1, an electromagnetic release 11 is provided inside the base 1, and a first wiring terminal 12 and a second wiring terminal 13 are provided at both ends of the base 1, and the end cover 5 protects the components inside the base 1;

[0031] It is worth mentioning that the first terminal 12 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic release 11, and the second terminal 13 is electrically connected to the moving reed 31 through a flexible connection line. The current of the first static reed 21 is transmitted to the first terminal 12 through the coil of the electromagnetic release 11. The fault in the circuit is detected by the electromagnetic principle. Once a circuit overload or short circuit fault is detected, the circuit can be quickly cut off to avoid further damage to the equipment and protect personnel safety. The second terminal 13 is convenient for transmitting the current to the moving reed 31 through the flexible connection line;

[0032] It is worth mentioning that the first wiring terminal 12 is provided with a wire pressing screw 14 on both sides, the second wiring terminal 13 is provided with a wire pressing screw 14 on both sides, and a wire pressing screw 14 is provided below the wire pressing screw 14 on one side of the second wiring terminal 13, and the wire pressing screw 14 is convenient for electrical connection with the wire;

The elastic part 331 and the arc-blocking piece 33 are in a vertical relationship. The elastic part 331 is provided with a contact surface 332, and abuts against the moving spring piece 31, thereby pressing and fixing the moving spring piece 31 in the groove 321. The arc-blocking piece 33 increases the creepage distance of the moving spring piece 31 and the air gap with the electromagnetic release 11, thereby improving the electrical insulation of the product. The elastic part 331 connects and fixes the arc-blocking piece 33 to the moving contact frame 32;

[0034] It is worth mentioning that the two ends of the conductive rod 4 are welded on the movable spring 31, and the middle shape of the conductive rod 4 is set to be U-shaped. The U-shaped structure facilitates the bimetallic strip in the base 1 to pass through the conductive rod 4. When the bimetallic strip is heated, it deforms and bends, thereby driving the contact frame 32 to move, so that the connection point of the operating mechanism 3 is disintegrated, and the conduction of the circuit is cut off;

[0035] The above design scheme can enable the product to achieve the advantage of no delay in powering on.

[0036] The above content is a further detailed description of the utility model in combination with specific implementation methods. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the utility model belongs, without departing from the concept of the utility model, they can also make several simple deductions or substitutions, which should be regarded as belonging to the scope of protection determined by the claims submitted for the utility model.
