Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to an insulating protection structure for the mechanism of a circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] In power transmission and distribution systems, high-voltage products such as circuit breakers with AC800V or DC1500V and above play a crucial role. These products not only need to withstand the impact of high voltage and large current, but also must maintain stable insulation performance under various complex environmental conditions to ensure the safe operation of the power system. In the prior art, high-voltage circuit breakers usually adopt a variety of insulating materials and structural designs to enhance insulation performance. However, under extreme operating conditions, such as overvoltage, overcurrent, sudden temperature change or increased humidity, the phase-to-phase insulation of the mechanism may be severely affected, resulting in a decline in insulation performance. When the insulation performance drops to a certain extent, short-circuit faults are likely to occur, which may further lead to internal insulation breakdown of the mechanism and even serious consequences such as the burning of the whole machine. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an insulating protection structure for the mechanism of a circuit breaker with a simple structure, good insulation performance and high safety.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts such an insulating protection structure for the mechanism of a circuit breaker, which includes a housing. The housing has a base, a rotating shaft is arranged in the base, a snap ring is arranged on the rotating shaft, a partition is connected to the snap ring. The partition includes a short side plate, a long side plate and convex plates respectively connected to the short side plate and the long side plate. Nested grooves are formed in the base on both sides of the rotating shaft corresponding to the position of the snap ring. The two sides of the convex plate extend out convex strips in the direction perpendicular to the short side plate and the long side plate, and the convex strips are matched with the nested grooves on the base.
[0005] The beneficial effect of the above structure is that through the close cooperation between the snap ring and the nested grooves on the base, and the interaction between the convex strips on the partition and the nested grooves, the electrical clearance and creepage distance between phases are increased, effectively blocking the direct path between different potentials, significantly improving the insulation strength between phases of the mechanism, and being able to prevent short-circuit faults and series arc breakdown phenomena caused by insufficient electrical clearance or creepage distance, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the circuit breaker and the safety of the power system.
[0006] This utility model is further configured such that the short side plate of the partition is flush with one side of the convex plate, while the other side of the convex plate is connected to the long side plate by an inclined surface. Arc-shaped grooves are formed at the lower end edges of the convex plate and both the short side plate and the long side plate. The arc-shaped grooves are semi-circular. The lower ends of the short side plate and the long side plate are on the same horizontal plane, while the lower end of the convex plate is lower than the short side plate and the long side plate. The convex plate is located directly above the snap ring. At both sides of the upper end of the long side plate, there are outward extensions forming clamping portions, and the clamping portions are clamped on the upper edge area of the nested groove on the base. By having the short side plate of the partition flush with one side of the convex plate and the other side of the convex plate connected to the long side plate by an inclined surface, not only is the overall structure of the partition optimized, but also the electrical clearance between phases is further increased due to the presence of the inclined surface. Semi-circular arc-shaped grooves are formed at the lower end edges of the convex plate and both the short side plate and the long side plate, which is used to increase the tortuosity of the creepage path, thereby effectively extending the creepage distance. The lower ends of the short side plate and the long side plate are on the same horizontal plane, while the lower end of the convex plate is lower than the short side plate and the long side plate, enabling the partition to be more accurately positioned on the base during installation. At the same time, the clamping portions formed by the outward extensions at both sides of the upper end of the long side plate can be firmly clamped on the upper edge area of the nested groove on the base, enhancing the connection strength between the partition and the base.
[0007] This utility model is further configured such that the housing further includes a middle cover and an upper cover. The middle cover is covered on the base, and the upper cover is covered on the middle cover. By adding the middle cover and the upper cover, a more enclosed and compact housing structure can be formed, which helps to reduce the influence of the external environment on the internal mechanism of the circuit breaker.

One side of the short side plate 41 of the partition plate 4 is flush with the convex plate 43, and the other side of the convex plate 43 is connected to the long side plate 42 by an inclined surface 431. An arc-shaped groove 40 is formed at the lower end edge of the convex plate 43 and both the short side plate 41 and the long side plate 42. The arc-shaped groove 40 is semicircular. The lower ends of the short side plate 41 and the long side plate 42 are on the same horizontal plane, and the lower end of the convex plate 43 is lower than the short side plate 41 and the long side plate 42. The convex plate 43 is located directly above the snap ring 3. Nested grooves 111 are formed in the base 11 on both sides of the rotating shaft 2 corresponding to the position of the snap ring 3. Convex strips 432 extend from both sides of the convex plate 43 in a direction perpendicular to the short side plate 41 and the long side plate 42. The convex strips 432 cooperate with the nested grooves 111 on the base 11. The upper ends of both sides of the long side plate 42 extend outward to form clamping portions 421. The clamping portions 421 are clamped in the upper edge region of the nested grooves 111 on the base 11.
