DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following is a further description of the specific implementation of the circuit breaker of the present utility model in conjunction with the embodiments given in the accompanying drawings. The circuit breaker of the present utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0037] The circuit breaker includes a detachable and assembled shell 11, one end of the shell 11 serves as an operating end 1A and is provided with an operating hole 111, an inner shell 12 is provided inside the shell 11, an operating mechanism 2 is assembled between the inner shell 12 and the operating hole 111, an operating member 20 is connected to the operating mechanism 2, and the operating member 20 extends from the operating hole 111 to the outside of the shell 11 for manually driving the operating mechanism 2; of course, when a control module is configured in the shell 11, the operating mechanism 2 can also be driven by the control module, and the control module generally includes a circuit board assembly 81, a motor and a transmission assembly, wherein a controller is provided on the circuit board assembly 81, the motor is driven to start and stop by the controller, and the motor is connected to the operating mechanism 2 by the transmission assembly, thereby realizing automatic driving of the operating mechanism 2 to rotate for opening and closing.

[0038] At least one breaker pole is disposed in the inner housing 12. Each breaker pole includes a pair of terminal blocks 7. A contact mechanism 3 is connected between the pair of terminal blocks 7. The contact mechanism 3 includes a moving contact assembly and a stationary contact 34. The moving contact assembly is drivingly connected to the operating mechanism 2. By driving the operating mechanism 2, the moving contact assembly is driven to contact or separate from the stationary contact 34 to connect or disconnect the main circuit of each breaker pole. An arc extinguishing system is provided on one side of the contact mechanism 3. The arc generated by the breaking of the contact mechanism 3 is extinguished by the arc extinguishing system, and the exhaust gas generated by the arc extinguishing is discharged through the exhaust port provided in the inner housing 12 and the air outlet 113 provided in the outer housing 11.

[0039] Each breaker pole further includes a current transformer 51 and a short-circuit protection mechanism 6. The current transformer 51 is connected to the main circuit of each breaker pole. That is, the conductor connected between the contact mechanism 3 and the terminal block 7 passes through the central hole of the current transformer 51. The current transformer 51 is connected to the control module and is used to feedback a current signal to the control module. The short-circuit protection mechanism 6 cooperates with the operating mechanism 2. When a short-circuit fault occurs in the main circuit of the breaker pole, the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 drives the operating mechanism 2 to trip and cut off the power.

[0040] For convenience of description, the central axis direction of the operation hole 111 is the first direction, that is Figure 1 the direction in which the X axis is located in Figure 1 is the first direction, and the two directions perpendicular to the first direction are the second direction and the third direction. That is, Figure 1 the direction in which the Z axis is located in is the second direction, and the direction in which the Y axis is located in is the third direction.

[0041] The improvement of this application lies in that, as Figure 1 、 4 shown in -6, the inner housing 12 includes a base and a middle cover 121. The base includes two assemblies 122, and the two assemblies 122 are assembled along the direction perpendicular to the first direction. At least one assembly 122 is divided into at least two assembly plates (the first assembly plate 1221 and the second assembly plate 1222), and the adjacent two assembly plates are stacked and assembled in the first direction. The middle cover 121 is covered on one end of the two assemblies 122 close to the operating mechanism 2 in the first direction. Thus, the inner housing 12 is composed of the assembled base and the middle cover 121. The base adopts a split assembly structure. The base is assembled by the assemblies along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the assemblies are assembled by the assembly plates along the first direction, forming a modular structure for the components inside the breaker pole, which is convenient for disassembly and installation.

[0042] Specifically, the contact mechanism 3 of each breaker pole includes a moving contact assembly and a static contact 34 that cooperate with each other. The moving contact assembly includes a rotating shaft 31 and a moving contact 32. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably assembled on the middle cover 121. The operating mechanism 2 passes through the middle cover 121 and is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 31. That is, a connection hole for the driving connection between the operating mechanism 2 and the rotating shaft 31 is provided in the middle of the middle cover 121. The moving contact 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31, so that the moving contact 32 rotates within the space between the middle cover 121 and the assembly plate adjacent to the middle cover 121. The static contact 34 is cooperatively arranged on the assembly plate adjacent to the middle cover 121 and cooperates with the moving contact 32, so that the contact mechanism 3 forms a modular structure within the inner shell 12. When it is necessary to measure the parameters of the contact mechanism 3 and maintain or replace the contact mechanism 3, it can be achieved by only disassembling the middle cover 121 and one assembly plate, with less interference to other components.

[0043] Furthermore, the contact mechanism 3 of each breaker pole is also configured with an arc extinguishing system. The arc extinguishing system includes an arc extinguishing chamber 41 and an exhaust passage. The arc extinguishing chamber 41 and the static contact 34 are located between the same assembly plate and the middle cover 121. The moving trajectory of the moving contact 32 corresponds to the incoming arc end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41, ensuring the cooperation between the arc extinguishing chamber 41 and the contact mechanism 3 and facilitating arc extinguishing. The exhaust passage is arranged in the base away from the middle cover 121. One end of the exhaust passage is communicated with the exhaust end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41, and the other end of the exhaust passage is communicated with an exhaust port provided on the base. The exhaust passage buffers the exhaust gas discharged from the arc extinguishing chamber 41, reducing the discharge of high-temperature exhaust gas from the outer shell 11.

[0044] Preferably, each breaker further includes an instrument transformer 51 and a short-circuit protection mechanism 6. The short-circuit protection mechanism 6 is adjacent to the static contact 34 and arranged in the same assembly plate. The short-circuit protection mechanism 6 cooperates with the operating mechanism 2. When a short-circuit fault occurs, the operating mechanism 2 is triggered to trip by the short-circuit protection mechanism 6. The instrument transformer 51 is adjacent to the moving contact 32 in the opening position. The instrument transformer 51 is arranged on the assembly body 122 close to the middle cover 121, or the instrument transformer 51 is arranged on the assembly plate close to the middle cover 121. The instrument transformer 51 is connected to the circuit board assembly 81 in the control module for feeding back the collected current signal. The short-circuit protection mechanism 6, the instrument transformer 51 and the inner shell 12 cooperate to form a modular structure, which is convenient for disassembly, installation, maintenance and replacement.

[0045] In addition, at least one accessory slot is provided on one side of the middle cover 121 facing the operating end 1A. The accessory module cooperating with the operating mechanism 2 can be assembled in the accessory slot. The accessory module can include an auxiliary switch module, a feedback device, a trip unit, etc. Of course, when the control module is provided in the housing 11 in the form of an accessory, one of the accessory slots is used to assemble the control module. The control module generally includes a circuit board assembly 81. The circuit board assembly 81 is arranged in an accessory slot of the middle cover 121, shortening the distance from the current transformer 51 and other accessory modules, which is convenient for wiring.

[0046] Combined with Figures 1 - 10 An embodiment of a circuit breaker is provided. In this embodiment, an insertion-type circuit breaker is taken as an example.

[0047] The circuit breaker includes a detachable housing 11. The opposite ends of the housing 11 are an operating end 1A and a wiring end 1B respectively. An operating hole 111 is provided in the middle of the operating end 1A. The central axis of the operating hole 111 is parallel to the first direction. The connection line between the operating end 1A and the wiring end 1B is parallel to the first direction. An operating mechanism 2 and an inner housing 12 are arranged between the operating end 1A and the wiring end 1B of the housing 11. The operating mechanism 2 and the inner housing 12 are arranged along the first direction. The operating mechanism 2 is located between the inner housing 12 and the operating end 1A. The operating member 20 connected to the operating mechanism 2 extends out of the housing 11 from the operating hole 111 of the operating end 1A. The wiring end 1B is provided with three pairs of wiring sockets 112 arranged side by side in the third direction. Each pair of wiring sockets 112 is spaced relatively in the second direction, and an air outlet 113 is provided between each pair of wiring sockets 112. One end of the inner housing 12 is provided with three exhaust ports arranged side by side in the third direction. Each exhaust port corresponds to and communicates with an air outlet 113.

[0048] In this embodiment, the housing 11 is of a detachable and assembled structure. The housing 11 includes a pair of end covers spaced apart in the first direction. The two end covers serve as the operating end 1A and the wiring end 1B respectively. For the convenience of description, the two end covers are the first end cover 1101 and the second end cover 1102 respectively. An operating hole 111 is provided in the middle of the first end cover 1101. An indicating window 115 is provided on one side of the operating hole 111. The indicating window 115 can be a transparent area or a through groove communicating with the inside of the housing 11. The second end cover 1102 is provided with wiring sockets 112 and air outlets 113. The second end cover 1102 is used to prevent the wiring terminal 7 corresponding to the wiring socket 112 from falling off. Two pairs of side walls are connected between the pair of end covers. Each pair of side walls is spaced apart. For the convenience of description, the two pairs of side walls are divided into a pair of first side walls 1103 and a pair of second side walls. The pair of first side walls 1103 are spaced relatively in the second direction, and the pair of second side walls are spaced relatively in the third direction. Of course, the housing 11 can also adopt other detachable structures.

[0049] The operating mechanism 2 can adopt the prior art. The operating mechanism 2 includes a pair of side plates arranged at intervals. The side plates can be supported between the inner shell 12 and the first end cover 1101. The rocker arm is rotatably assembled on the pair of side plates. A toggle shaft and a locking shaft are rotatably arranged between the pair of side plates, and the toggle shaft and the locking shaft are respectively located on opposite sides of the space between the pair of side plates. The toggle shaft and the locking shaft are respectively connected with a toggle and a lock. One end of the toggle and the lock are buckled and matched. A connecting rod assembly is connected to the toggle. Generally, the connecting rod assembly includes an upper connecting rod and a lower connecting rod. One end of the upper connecting rod is connected to the toggle. A rocker spring is connected between the hinge joint of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod and the rocker arm. The lower connecting rod is directly or indirectly connected to the rotating shaft 31 in the circuit breaker pole. The lock is in limit cooperation with the re-latch rotatably arranged between the pair of side plates.

[0050] In addition, a traction rod spanning three circuit breaker poles is arranged on one side of the operating mechanism 2. The traction rod is used to drive the re-latch to release the limit cooperation between the re-latch and the lock, and the lock and the toggle to release the buckling cooperation, so as to realize the tripping of the operating mechanism 2. In this embodiment, three push rods 21 are sleeved on the traction rod. Each push rod 21 is provided with a tripping trigger part 211, and each tripping trigger part 211 corresponds to a circuit breaker pole respectively.

[0051] Inside the inner shell 12, three circuit breaker poles are arranged side by side in the third direction. Each circuit breaker pole includes a pair of terminal blocks 7 arranged at intervals in the second direction. Each pair of terminal blocks 7 corresponds to a pair of wiring sockets 112 on the outer shell 11 respectively. A contact mechanism 3 is connected between the pair of terminal blocks 7. An arc extinguishing system is arranged on one side of the contact mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the operating mechanism 2, the contact mechanism 3 and the arc extinguishing system are arranged in sequence along the first direction. One end of the arc extinguishing system of each circuit breaker pole away from the contact mechanism 3 is communicated with an exhaust port of the inner shell 12; A current transformer 51 and a short-circuit protection mechanism 6 are also arranged in each circuit breaker pole. The current transformer 51, the contact mechanism 3 and the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 are arranged in sequence along the second direction in the inner shell 12.

[0052] As Figures 4 - 6 shown, a partition plate 123 is arranged on the inner side wall of the inner shell 12. The space inside the inner shell 12 is divided into three chambers arranged side by side in the third direction by the partition plate 123. Each chamber is used to assemble a circuit breaker pole. It should be noted that the partition plate 123 can be one, two or more than three, and its number is usually adjusted according to the number of circuit breaker poles to be assembled. Further, the partition plate 123 correspondingly forms a partition part 124 on the outer side wall of the inner shell 12, which is convenient for the partition part 124 to divide the outer side wall of the inner shell 12 on the same side into grooves arranged side by side in the third direction. In this embodiment, the partition part 124 faces the first side wall 1103 of the outer shell 11.

[0053] As Figure 1 、4 As shown in FIG. -6, the inner shell 12 includes two assemblies 122 and a middle cover 121. The two assemblies 122 are assembled in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The middle cover 121 is closed on one end of the two assemblies 122 close to the operating mechanism 2 in the first direction. In this embodiment, the two assemblies 122 are assembled in the second direction. In other embodiments, the two assemblies 122 may also be assembled in the third direction. At least one assembly 122 is divided into at least two assembly plates, and two adjacent assembly plates are stacked and assembled in the first direction. For convenience of description, the two assemblies 122 are respectively the first assembly 122 and the second assembly 122, wherein the second assembly 122 is divided into two assembly plates, and the two assembly plates are respectively the first assembly plate 1221 and the second assembly plate 1222. The first assembly plate 1221 is adjacent to the middle cover 121, and an assembly space is formed between the first assembly plate 1221 and the middle cover 121. The second assembly plate 1222 is away from the middle cover 121, and an assembly space is formed between the first assembly plate 1221 and the second assembly plate 1222. Preferably, one end of the first assembly plate 1221 protrudes to form a first bearing portion 12211 matching the middle cover 121, and a partition 123 is also correspondingly arranged on the first bearing portion 12211; one end of the second assembly plate 1222 close to the first assembly plate 1221 is provided with a protruding second bearing portion 12221. Of course, the specific shapes of the assembly 122 and the assembly plates are not limited, as long as they can be spliced into a cavity structure for assembling the breaker pole. It should be noted that the use of the split inner shell 12 structure is not limited to plug-in circuit breakers, and the assembly 122 is not limited to the stacking and assembly of two assembly plates in the first direction, and may also be more assembly plates.

[0054] In this embodiment, the operating mechanism 2 and the contact mechanism 3, arc extinguishing system, short-circuit protection mechanism 6, and current transformer 51 in each breaker pole can adopt existing technologies, such as Figure 4 、 7 As shown in FIGS. and 8, the contact mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a moving contact 32, and a static contact 34. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably assembled on the middle cover 121. The operating mechanism 2 can pass through the middle cover 121 and be drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 31. One end of the moving contact 32 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31, and the other end is provided with a moving contact point and rotates between the middle cover 121 and the first assembly plate 1221. The static contact 34 is fixedly arranged on the first assembly plate 1221. The contact mechanisms 3 of two adjacent breaker poles are separated by a partition 123. When it is necessary to obtain the parameters of the contact mechanism 3 or maintain and replace the contact mechanism 3, only the middle cover 121 and the first assembly plate 1221 need to be removed, and the influence on other components is small.

[0055] Such as Figure 4As shown in the figure, the arc extinguishing system includes an arc extinguishing chamber 41 and an exhaust passage. The arc extinguishing chamber 41 is also disposed in the first assembly plate 1221. The incoming arc end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41 corresponds to the moving trajectory of the moving contact 32. The arc extinguishing chambers 41 of adjacent two breaker poles are separated by a partition plate 123. The exhaust passage is located in the second assembly plate 1222, and an exhaust port is provided in the middle of the end of the second assembly plate 1222 away from the middle cover 121. In this embodiment, the second assembly plate 1222 is provided with three exhaust ports arranged side by side in the third direction, and each exhaust port corresponds to and communicates with an air outlet 113 of the housing 11. Both ends of the exhaust passage are respectively connected to the exhaust end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41 and the exhaust port, so that the exhaust gas discharged from the arc extinguishing chamber 41 is cooled and buffered in the exhaust passage. In this embodiment, the second bearing portion 12221 corresponds to the exhaust end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41. The second bearing portion 12221 can block a part of the area of the exhaust end of the arc extinguishing chamber 41, so as to narrow the end of the exhaust passage communicating with the arc extinguishing chamber 41, which is beneficial for the exhaust gas to enter the exhaust passage. Further, at least one deionization member is provided at the exhaust port. When the number of deionization members is two or more, adjacent two deionization members are spaced apart in the first direction, so as to achieve zero arcing.

[0056] As Figure 4 , 8 shown in the figure, the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 is adjacent to the static contact 34 and is jointly disposed on the first assembly plate 1221. In this embodiment, the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 is an electromagnetic release arranged integrally along the first direction, which triggers the operating mechanism 2 to trip in case of a short-circuit fault. The short-circuit protection mechanism 6 includes a second conductive plate 6152, a magnetic yoke 62, an armature 63 and a first bracket 64.
