[0020] The following description is only used to disclose the utility model so that those skilled in the art can implement the utility model. The embodiments described below are only for example, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the utility model defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the utility model.

[0021] [Example 1]

[0022] A testing organization, such as Figure 1-Figure 31. It comprises an electronic component board 1, a stationary contact piece 6 connected to the electronic component board 1, a button spring 2 connected to the electronic component board 1, and a moving contact piece 5. The stationary contact piece 6 is provided with a contact point 61 and a spring contact area 62. The moving contact piece 5 is connected to the circuit breaker wiring structure. When the circuit breaker handle 4 is operated, the circuit breaker handle 4 is provided with a structure for pushing the moving contact piece 5, so that the moving contact piece 5 can be connected to the contact point 61. After the button spring 2 is actuated, it can be connected to the spring contact area 62 to form a test path. After the moving contact piece 5 is disconnected from the contact point 61, the power supply of the electronic component board 1 is disconnected.

[0023] In order to avoid interference, the contact point 61 and the spring contact area 62 are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction. Further, the contact point 61 and the spring contact area 62 can be arranged at different heights.

[0024] The test mechanism further comprises a test button 3 , on which a groove 31 is arranged. When the test button 3 is pressed, the button spring 2 enters the groove 31 , which plays a role in limiting and stabilizing the button spring 2 .

[0025] The movable contact piece 5 is made of an elastic piece, preferably a stainless steel spring piece with a thickness of 0.25-0.3 mm. When the circuit breaker handle 4 is switched from a closed state to an open state, the movable contact piece 5 automatically recovers and disengages from the contact point 61 .

[0026] The button spring 2 and the static contact piece 6 are plug-in connected to the electronic component board 1. With this structural layout design, no lead connection is required, the number of solder joints is reduced, the risk of desoldering is reduced, the product assembly efficiency is improved, the cost saving effect is achieved, and the product interior is more concise. Preferably, as Figure 4 The plug-in portion of the static contact piece 6 adopts a sheet-like structure, which can make contact with the electronic component board 1. The electronic component board 1 is provided with a square plug-in hole 11 which penetrates through and is open at one end. The static contact piece 6 can be conveniently installed in the square plug-in hole 11 from the top opening. In other embodiments, the plug-in end of the static contact piece 6 can be provided with a stepped limiting structure or a protrusion, which is used to play a limiting role when the static contact piece 6 is installed on the electronic component board 1, and limit the depth of the static contact piece 6 inserted into the square plug-in hole 11. The limiting structure can also be provided on the electronic component board 1.

[0027] In order to ensure that the button spring 2 can stably contact the spring contact area 62, the length of the spring contact area 62 is greater than the diameter of the button spring 2, and can be more than 3 times the diameter of the button spring 2, thereby reducing the requirements for product assembly accuracy.

[0028] During the use of the circuit breaker, when the circuit breaker handle 4 is closed, the moving and static contacts in the circuit breaker are connected, and at the same time, the structure on the circuit breaker handle 4 will push the moving contact piece 5, so that the moving contact piece 5 is connected with the contact 61 on the static contact piece 6, and the live wire end of the power supply is connected; when the line is protected due to a leakage fault, the leakage mechanism will act quickly, prompting the circuit breaker handle 4 to be quickly disconnected, the moving and static contacts to separate, the moving contact piece 5 to be immediately restored, the live wire end of the power supply is disconnected, and the power supply of the electronic component board 1 is disconnected. The biggest advantage of this design is: it avoids the burning of the product release coil caused by the wrong connection of the incoming and outgoing lines, that is, the incoming and outgoing lines can be connected at will, regardless of whether the live wire is top-in and bottom-out or bottom-in and top-out, after the circuit breaker handle 4 is actuated to separate the moving and static contacts, the moving contact piece 5 and the static contact piece 6 can be separated, and the power supply of the electronic circuit board is disconnected, thereby avoiding the problem of coil burning. Therefore, there is no clear regulation on whether the product is connected in the upper or lower wiring mode.

[0029] Test process: When the product is in normal working state, press the test button 4, the test button 4 pushes the button spring 2 to contact the spring contact area 62 of the static contact piece 6, and then the test device circuit is turned on. At this time, the magnetic ring detects the current imbalance and outputs an induction signal to the electronic component board. The electronic component board can provide a working voltage to the release coil assembly through internal signal operation amplification processing. The electromagnetic force prompts the moving iron core to work and push the operating mechanism to lock, the contacts are disconnected, and the power is cut off.

[0030] A leakage circuit breaker comprises the above-mentioned testing mechanism.

[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments.
