Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art, and to provide an electric operating circuit breaker drawer.

[0005] An electric operating circuit breaker drawer includes a housing, and a circuit breaker, a clutch, and an electric mechanism for switching the opening and closing of the circuit breaker are arranged in the housing. The electric mechanism includes a motor, a rotating shaft, and an adjusting structure. The adjusting structure is used to adjust the state of the motor so that the rotating shaft can manually drive to switch the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker. The rotating shaft that plays a manual function on the motor is automatically adjusted through the adjusting structure, and the handle on the panel is retained. When manual operation is required, only the handle needs to be rotated, without changing the operation habit. At the same time, the manual and electric functions are realized. The manual function is used in case of emergency to ensure the safety of the equipment, and it occupies a small space. There is no need to additionally increase a switching mechanism, which can reduce the complexity of the manual function and the electric function of installing the circuit breaker drawer.

[0006] Further, the electric mechanism further includes a housing and a drive shaft sleeved outside the rotating shaft and connected to the motor. The adjusting structure includes a drive plate fixedly connected to the outside of the housing at one end of the drive shaft, a first rotating plate fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, and a first rotating groove on the first rotating plate that is linked to the drive plate through a fixed shaft.

Detailed implementation manners

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that all the expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present utility model are used to distinguish two entities or parameters with the same name but different identities. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of the present utility model.

Therefore, the terms of direction and position used are for explaining and understanding the present utility model, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Such as Figure 1-6, as shown in Fig. 8, is an embodiment of a drawer of an electric operating circuit breaker 11 of the present utility model, including a housing 1. A circuit breaker 11, a clutch 12, and an electric mechanism 13 for switching the opening and closing of the circuit breaker 11 are provided inside the housing 1. The electric mechanism 13 includes a motor 131, a rotating shaft 132, and an adjusting structure 2. The adjusting structure 2 is used to adjust the state of the motor 131 so that the rotating shaft 132 can manually drive to switch the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker 11. By automatically adjusting the rotating shaft 132 with a manual function on the motor 131 through the adjusting structure 2, the handle on the panel is retained. When manual operation is required, only the handle needs to be rotated, without changing the operation habit. At the same time, manual and electric functions are realized. The manual function is used to ensure the safety of the equipment in case of emergency, and it occupies a small space. There is no need to additionally add a switching mechanism, which can reduce the complexity of installing the manual and electric functions of the circuit breaker 11 drawer.

[0032] The electric mechanism 13 further includes a housing 135 and a driving shaft 136 sleeved outside the rotating shaft 132 and connected to the motor 131. The adjusting structure 2 includes a driving plate 21 fixedly connected to one end of the driving shaft 136 extending outside the housing 135. A first rotating plate 22 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 132. A first rotating groove 221 is provided on the first rotating plate 22 and is linked with the driving plate 21 through a fixed shaft 23. The fixed shaft 23 is clamped with the first rotating groove 221 so that the rotating shaft 132 is in a limited state during electric opening and closing. By setting the sliding fit between the first rotating groove 221 and the fixed shaft 23 fixed on the driving plate 21, when the driving plate 21 rotates, it can drive the first rotating plate 22 to rotate. At this time, the rotating shaft 132 also rotates with the first rotating plate 22 and enters the limited state.

[0033] When the fixed shaft 23 is in the first position, the driving shaft 136 drives the driving plate 21 and the first rotating plate 22 to rotate clockwise to the closing position and then rotate back. The fixed shaft 23 rotates counterclockwise from the first position in the first rotating groove 221 to the second position, so that the rotating shaft 132 is released from the limited state and can be manually opened. After electric closing, the driving plate 21 rotates back to drive the fixed shaft 23 to rotate in the first rotating groove 221 at the same time, releasing the limited state of the rotating shaft 132, and the operator can manually operate the rotating shaft 132 to open.

[0034] When the fixed shaft 23 is in the second position, the drive shaft 136 drives the drive plate 21 and the second rotating plate 25 to rotate counterclockwise to the opening position and then rotate back. The fixed shaft 23 rotates clockwise from the second position in the first rotating groove 221 to the first position, so that the rotating shaft 132 is released from the limited position and can be manually closed. After electric opening, the drive shaft 136 drives the drive plate 21 to rotate back. The drive plate 21 drives the fixed shaft 23 to rotate simultaneously in the first rotating groove 221, releasing the limited position of the rotating shaft 132, and the operator can manually operate the rotating shaft 132 to close the switch.

[0035] The other end of the fixed shaft 23 extends into the first rotating groove 221 and is slidably connected to the first rotating plate 22. The top of the fixed shaft 23 is limited and installed in the first rotating groove 221 through a retaining clip 231. The fixed shaft 23 is arranged in the first rotating groove 221 through the retaining clip 231, which can limit the rotating shaft 132 while allowing the motor 131 to idle and enabling the use of the manual function for the rotating shaft 132.

[0036] What is different in this embodiment from the above embodiment is that as Figure 1-2 、 Figure 7 shown, the other end of the rotating shaft 132 extends outside the housing 135 and is fixedly sleeved with a second rotating plate 25.

The second rotating plate 25 rotates following the rotating shaft 132 to trigger the closing contact switch 26 or the tripping contact switch 27.

[0037] The triggering portion includes a first triggering portion 251 and a second triggering portion 252 that are protrusions provided on both sides of the second rotating plate 25. The first triggering portion 251 and the second triggering portion 252 trigger the closing contact switch 26 or the tripping contact switch 27 through the rotating movement of the second rotating plate 25, and send a signal to the circuit breaker 11 for tripping or closing operations.

[0038] The second rotating plate 25 is symmetrically provided with second rotating grooves 253. The housing 135 is fixed with a limiting post 24. The other end of the limiting post 24 extends into the second rotating grooves 253 and is slidably connected to the second rotating plate 25. The rotation angle of the second rotating plate 25 is limited by the limiting post 24 to prevent problems such as excessive rotation.

[0039] What is different in this embodiment from the above embodiment is that as Figure 1-2 、 Figure 9-10As shown, one end of the rotating shaft 132 extends outside the drawer and is connected to a rotating knob 133, and the other end extends into the circuit breaker 11 and is connected to a switching structure 134 for driving the opening and closing of the circuit breaker 11. Personnel operate the rotating shaft 132 by rotating the knob 133 to control the switching structure 134 at the other end for manual closing and manual opening.

[0040] The housing 1 is provided on the bottom plate 4. A slide plate 41 is provided on the bottom plate 4. A worm 3 meshingly connected to the slide plate 41 is provided inside the housing 1. A jack 31 is provided on the worm 3.
