Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to a residual current protection circuit breaker with a backup protection mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A circuit breaker is a distribution electrical appliance used in a power grid, which can connect, carry and break the current under normal circuit conditions, and can also connect, carry for a certain time and break the current under specified abnormal conditions (such as overload, short circuit, leakage, undervoltage and single-phase ground fault). With the development of the power industry, the operating mechanism of molded case circuit breakers has gradually become the mainstream of current development, and the design is developing towards miniaturization and intelligence. The automatic reclosing mechanism is a special accessory for molded case circuit breakers. After being combined with the circuit breaker, it can remotely electrically close, disconnect and reclutch the circuit breaker to realize the centralized and automatic control of the power transmission and distribution network. The structural design of the backup protection mechanism of the existing reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker is unreasonable. This backup protection mechanism occupies a relatively large internal space of the reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker, and the internal structure of the reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker cannot be integrated modularly, so modular assembly cannot be achieved, the assembly efficiency is low, and the production cost is high. Moreover, the exhaust channel of the reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker is not separated from the conductive copper bar, and the insulation performance is poor. In addition, the reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker also has the defects of complex structure, unreliable performance and high temperature rise. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a residual current protection circuit breaker with a backup protection mechanism, which has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, good insulation performance, low temperature rise, high assembly efficiency and small volume.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts a residual current protection circuit breaker with a backup protection mechanism, including a base, a middle cover arranged on the base, a surface cover arranged on the middle cover, an operating mechanism arranged in the base, an automatic reclosing mechanism arranged in the middle cover and used to drive the operating mechanism to perform opening and closing actions, three groups of contact modules and a transformer module respectively arranged in the base and linked with the operating mechanism, wherein the contact module includes a contact box arranged in the base, a moving contact frame rotatably arranged in the contact box and linked with the operating mechanism, a moving contact arranged on the moving contact frame, an incoming line static contact arranged in the contact box and matched with the moving contact, and a contact module arranged in the contact box and linked with the moving contact. The three groups of contact modules have three conductive parts extending outside the contact box at one end, and the three conductive parts are respectively provided with three backup protection mechanisms that cooperate with the traction rod of the operating mechanism. The backup protection mechanism includes a yoke arranged on the conductive part, a bracket arranged on the yoke, an armature rotating on the bracket and cooperating with the yoke, and a torsion spring arranged between the bracket and the armature. The bracket is respectively provided with two limit arms that abut against one end of the armature, and a trigger arm is arranged between the two corresponding limit arms on one end of the armature. The trigger arm moves with the armature and abuts against the traction rod, and constitutes a linkage cooperation between the traction rod and the armature.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the above structure are: the contact module adopts a modular structural design, which is conducive to the modular assembly of the reclosing residual current protection circuit breaker, and the assembly efficiency is higher. The three contact modules are independently arranged in the base, and the phase-to-phase insulation performance is better. The outgoing static contact has a conductive part with an integrated lead-out structure, which has better conductivity and lower temperature rise. The backup protection mechanism is designed on the conductive part. The structural design is more compact, the backup protection mechanism occupies less space, and it is convenient to assemble the conductive part and the backup protection mechanism, and the assembly is more convenient. Therefore, the residual current protection circuit breaker with a backup protection mechanism has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, good insulation performance, low temperature rise, high assembly efficiency and small size.

[0006] In particular, insulating support covers are provided at the positions corresponding to the three conductive parts in the base, the insulating support covers are separated between the three conductive parts and the base, three exhaust channels are respectively formed between the insulating support cover and the base at the positions corresponding to the three groups of contact modules, and exhaust ports connected to the three exhaust channels are provided on the contact boxes of the three groups of contact modules. The exhaust channels can quickly discharge the high-pressure exhaust gas in the contact box, which is beneficial to improving the arc extinguishing performance of the contact module and extending the service life of the contact module.

[0007] Particularly, exhaust guiding grooves are respectively arranged inside the insulating support cover and are matched with the contact boxes of the three groups of contact modules. Clamping convex rings are arranged on the contact boxes of the three groups of contact modules corresponding to the exhaust holes. Buckling grooves matched with the clamping convex rings are arranged inside the exhaust guiding grooves. The clamping convex rings are clamped in the buckling grooves, and the contact boxes of the three groups of contact modules are clamped and matched with the insulating support cover. The insulating support cover and the contact box are assembled by means of clamping fit, which is convenient for the assembly of the insulating support cover and the contact box, and can ensure that the high-pressure gas inside the contact box quickly enters the exhaust guiding grooves, thus being beneficial to improving the working reliability of the contact module.

[0008] Particularly, the basic shape of the cross-section of the yoke is U-shaped. The conductive part is inserted into the groove body of the yoke. Suction inclined surfaces matched with the armature are respectively arranged on both sides of the groove body of the yoke corresponding to the yoke. The yoke is designed with a U-shaped structure, and the yoke is provided with suction inclined surfaces matched with the armature, which can increase the suction area between the yoke and the armature, thus ensuring that the yoke and the armature can be reliably sucked together, and being beneficial to improving the working reliability of the backup protection mechanism.

[0009] Particularly, a driving inclined surface matched with the traction rod is arranged on one side of the trigger arm, and an arc-shaped convex part matched with the driving inclined surface is arranged on one side of the traction rod. The driving inclined surface of the trigger arm is matched with the arc-shaped convex part of the traction rod, and the trigger arm and the traction rod will not get stuck or jam, which can ensure the more reliable transmission between the trigger arm and the traction rod.
