[0002] A high-voltage circuit breaker refers to a mechanical switching device that can break, close and carry the normal current of an operating line, and can also carry, break and close abnormal current within a specified time. It is the most important control and protection equipment in the power system. At present, the thickness dimension of the spring operating mechanism of the circuit breaker is large, and it cannot meet the technical requirements of the normally pressurized sealed gas-insulated ring main unit.

[0003] This application is an improvement based on the utility model with the publication number of CN220543800U.

[0004] In the traditional circuit breaker, two non-concentric structures are usually set on the tripping mechanism. For example, the Chinese invention with the publication number of CN103337386B discloses a large-output-angle spring operating mechanism. The tripping mechanism includes a tripping half shaft (8), a tripping pawl (9) and a tripping spring (10). The tripping half shaft (8) is linked with a link mechanism (7) through the tripping pawl (9). One end of the tripping spring (10) is fixed, and the other end is arranged on the crank arm (11) of the output main shaft. The link mechanism (7) includes a first link (71) and a second link (72). The first link (71) is provided with a first crank arm (711) cooperating with a cam (61), a second crank arm (712) connected with the second link (72) and a third crank arm (713) cooperating with the tripping pawl (9). The second link (72) is connected with the output main shaft (2). The length of the second crank arm (712) is longer than the lengths of the first crank arm (711) and the third crank arm (713). The link mechanism (7) is arranged below the tripping pawl (9). The tripping half shaft (8) is provided with a tripping knob (15). The tripping knob (15) is detachably connected with the tripping half shaft (8). The tripping half shaft (8) is provided with a pin (82). The tripping knob (15) is provided with a chute (151) rotatably cooperating with the pin (82) in the circumferential direction. The tripping pawl (9) is provided with a convex block (91). A groove (81) for accommodating the convex block (91) is formed by inward depression on the tripping half shaft (8). The tripping pawl (9) is provided with a transmission block (92). The transmission block (92) abuts against the tripping pawl (9). In this patent, the tripping pawl and the transmission block are arranged non-concentrically, which is difficult in production and processing, and there are many components, and problems such as misassembly, omission and error are likely to occur during assembly, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tripping mechanism of a thin circuit breaker in order to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art.

[0006] A tripping mechanism for a thin circuit breaker, the thin circuit breaker includes a panel, a bottom plate, a tripping toggle arm and a transmission plate. The tripping mechanism is fixedly arranged on a fixed column between the bottom plate and the panel. A tripping pawl linked with the transmission plate is rotatably sleeved on the fixed column. A rotating groove is arranged in the tripping pawl, and a driving block is rotatably installed in the rotating groove. An elastic member is sleeved on the fixed column. One end of the elastic member extends into the driving block to make the driving block extend out of the rotating groove and link with the transmission plate, and the other end is fixed on the panel. By improving the structural arrangement of the tripping mechanism and using an elastic member to replace components such as the convex block and spring on the original tripping pawl, the structure of the tripping pawl is greatly simplified, production, manufacturing and processing are more convenient, and the production and manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0007] Further, the outer arc of the driving block and the rotation center of the tripping pawl are concentrically arranged. Setting the outer arc of the driving block and the rotation center of the tripping pawl to be concentric simplifies the processing cost, stabilizes the tripping release force of the tripping, simplifies the design difficulty and improves the production and installation efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, a plugging groove is arranged on the driving block, and a plugging hole communicated with the rotating groove is arranged on the tripping pawl. One end of the elastic member extends into the plugging groove through the plugging hole and elastically engages with the driving block.

[0009] Further, a fixing pin is arranged in the rotating groove, and the driving block is rotatably installed in the rotating groove through the fixing pin.

[0010] Further, a fixing hole is arranged on the panel, and the end of the elastic member is in a hook shape and is hooked and fixed with the fixing hole. The fixing hole has a space that enables the elastic member to rotate. Driven by the transmission plate, the driving block will drive the elastic member to rotate together, and the fixing hole plays a limiting role.

[0011] Further, the elastic member is a spring or a torsion spring. The material of the elastic member is easy to obtain and has a low cost, further reducing the production and manufacturing costs.

[0012] Preferably, a groove is arranged on the tripping toggle arm, and the tripping function is realized by the rotation action of the tripping toggle arm to make the groove abut against the end of the tripping pawl.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting column is arranged between the panel and the bottom plate, and a limiting groove is arranged at the end of the tripping pawl. The limiting column abuts against the limiting groove in the closing state. The limiting column is used to limit the rotation angle of the tripping pawl to prevent its rotation angle from being too large and affecting the movement track of the transmission plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By improving the structural arrangement of the opening mechanism and using elastic components to replace components such as the convex block and spring on the original opening pawl, the structure of the opening pawl is greatly simplified, making production, manufacturing, and processing more convenient and reducing the production and manufacturing costs.
