In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meanings.

[0036] In this embodiment, a circuit breaker connection structure and a circuit breaker including the circuit breaker connection structure are proposed. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the circuit breaker connection structure includes a contact support 1 and a moving contact 2. The circuit breaker further includes a housing 3, an operating system 4, an arc extinguishing system 5, and a contact system 6 respectively disposed inside the housing 3. The contact support 1 is disposed in the operating system 4, and the moving contact 2 is disposed in the contact system 6. Here, the working principle of the circuit breaker can refer to the working principle of the circuit breaker in the prior art, and the working principle of the circuit breaker will not be described in detail.

[0037] It should be noted that the key improvement in this embodiment mainly lies in the thermal riveting connection between the contact support 1 and the moving contact 2. Here, the specific structures and working principles of other structures in the housing 3, the arc extinguishing system 5, the operating system 4, and other structures in the contact system 6 will not be specifically described, and reference can be made to the structure of the existing circuit breaker.

[0038] Specifically, as Figures 2 to 7 shown, the contact support 1 includes a positioning rod 11. A positioning through hole 21 is provided on the moving contact 2, and an overflow glue groove 211 is provided on the hole wall of the positioning through hole 21. The positioning rod 11 is inserted into the positioning through hole 21, and the positioning rod 11 can be melted by heat. The overflow glue after the melting of the positioning rod 11 flows into the overflow glue groove 211.

[0039] In the circuit breaker connection structure of this embodiment, compared with the prior art, a positioning rod 11 is added. At the same time, an overflow glue groove 211 is added to the hole wall of the positioning through hole 21 on the moving contact 2. By inserting the positioning rod 11 into the positioning through hole 21 on the moving contact 2, the limit of the moving contact 2 on the contact support 1 is realized, so as to avoid the subsequent position movement and deviation during the hot riveting of the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1, and ensure the accuracy of the hot riveting position. At the same time, an overflow glue groove 211 is provided on the hole wall of the positioning through hole 21, so that the overflow glue after the positioning rod 11 is melted by heat flows into the overflow glue groove 211, so as to avoid overflow glue during the hot riveting of the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1. And, due to the bonding effect between the overflow glue in the overflow glue groove 211 and the moving contact 2, the hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 is better. Moreover, a part of the positioning rod 11 after being melted by heat will solidify between the top end of the positioning rod 11 and the top end of the positioning through hole 21, so as to form a bonding boss 18 similar to an umbrella shape between the top end of the positioning rod 11 and the top end of the positioning through hole 21, making the connection between the contact support 1 and the moving contact 2 more reliable, avoiding the problem of hot riveting falling off, ensuring better hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1, and thus ensuring better hot riveting effect between the contact support 1 and the moving contact 2.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a plurality of overflow glue grooves 211 are provided, and the plurality of overflow glue grooves 211 are arranged in a ring along the hole wall of the positioning through hole 21. On the one hand, it can accommodate more overflow glue and better avoid the problem of hot riveting overflow glue. On the other hand, it can further ensure better hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 through the bonding between the overflow glue in the plurality of overflow glue grooves 211 and the moving contact 2. Here, the number of the overflow glue grooves 211 is not specifically limited.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the moving contact 2 includes a bottom surface 23, and the contact support 1 further includes an installation surface 13 that can be melted by heat. When the moving contact 2 is installed on the contact support 1, the bottom surface 23 of the moving contact 2 is attached and abutted against the installation surface 13 of the contact support 1. The positioning rod 11 is fixedly protruded on the installation surface 13, and a glue discharge groove 131 is provided on the installation surface 13.

[0042] Specifically, when the mounting surface 13 is heated and melted, the overflow glue flowing out of the mounting surface 13 flows into the glue discharge groove 131. On the one hand, the overflow glue can be accommodated in the glue discharge groove 131 to avoid the occurrence of overflow glue when hot riveting the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1. On the other hand, due to the bonding effect between the overflow glue in the glue discharge groove 131 and the bottom surface 23 of the moving contact 2, the hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 is better.

[0043] Furthermore, as Figures 5 to 7 shown, there are multiple glue discharge grooves 131, and the multiple glue discharge grooves 131 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the mounting surface 13. On the one hand, more overflow glue can be accommodated in each glue discharge groove 131 to better avoid the occurrence of overflow glue when hot riveting the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1. On the other hand, due to the bonding effect between the overflow glue in each glue discharge groove 131 and the bottom surface 23 of the moving contact 2, the hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 is further ensured.

[0044] Specifically, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a positioning block 12 is further provided on the mounting surface 13, the positioning block 12 is arranged at intervals with the positioning rod 11, and a limiting through hole 22 is further provided on the moving contact 2. The positioning block 12 is used to be inserted into the limiting through hole 22 to avoid relative shaking or movement between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1, so as to realize the limitation of the moving contact 2 on the contact support 1, and thus better avoid the occurrence of position movement and offset when hot riveting the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 subsequently, and further ensure the accuracy of the hot riveting position.

[0045] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, the contact support 1 further includes a first side surface 14 and a limiting convex plate 15. The first side surface 14 is arranged at an angle on one side of the mounting surface 13, and the limiting convex plate 15 protrudes from the first side surface 14. When the bottom surface 23 is attached and abutted against the mounting surface 13, the moving contact 2 abuts tightly against the limiting convex plate 15.

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, through the abutting effect between the moving contact 2 and the limiting convex plate 15, the moving contact 2 can be more stably arranged on the contact support 1, so as to stably limit the moving contact 2 on the contact support 1, avoid the position movement or shaking of the moving contact 2 relative to the contact support 1, and thus better avoid the occurrence of position movement and offset when hot riveting the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 subsequently, and better ensure the accuracy of the hot riveting position.

[0047] Furthermore, as Figure 7As shown, there are at least two limiting convex plates 15, and the limiting convex plates 15 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first side surface 14, so as to ensure the accuracy of the hot riveting position through the pressing action between the moving contact 2 and multiple limiting convex plates 15 at the same time. In this embodiment, there are four limiting convex plates 15, and the structures of the limiting convex plates 15 can be the same or different. Here, the number of the limiting convex plates 15 is not specifically limited.

[0048] Specifically, the limiting convex plate 15 can be heated and melted, and the overflow glue after the melting of the limiting convex plate 15 flows into the glue discharge groove 131; on the one hand, the overflow glue of the limiting convex plate 15 can be accommodated in each glue discharge groove 131, so as to better avoid the overflow glue when the moving contact 2 is hot riveted to the contact support 1; on the other hand, due to the bonding action between the overflow glue in each glue discharge groove 131 and the bottom surface 23 of the moving contact 2, the hot riveting stability between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 can be better ensured.

[0049] Furthermore, as Figures 2 to 7 shown, the moving contact 2 further includes a second side surface 24, a third side surface 25 and a fourth side surface 26 that are adjacent and arranged at an angle in sequence, that is, the third side surface 25 is connected between the second side surface 24 and the fourth side surface 26, and the fourth side surface 26 is used for pressing against the limiting convex plate 15; the contact support 1 further includes a fifth side surface 16 and a sixth side surface 17 that are adjacent and arranged at an angle, and the fifth side surface 16 is arranged opposite to the first side surface 14; that is, an accommodation space is formed among the first side surface 14, the mounting surface 13, the fifth side surface 16 and the sixth side surface 17, one end of the moving contact 2 is limited and hot riveted in the accommodation space, and when the bottom surface 23 abuts against the mounting surface 13, the second side surface 24 is attached to the fifth side surface 16, and the third side surface 25 is attached to the sixth side surface 17.

[0050] In the circuit breaker connection structure of this embodiment, through the limiting action of the positioning rod 11 in the positioning through hole 21, the limiting action of the positioning block 12 in the limiting through hole 22, and the pressing action between the moving contact 2 and the limiting convex plate 15, the moving contact 2 can be stably fixed on the contact support 1, avoiding the position movement or shaking of the moving contact 2 relative to the contact support 1, thereby solving the problem of the offset of the hot riveting position between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1.

[0051] At the same time, by providing the glue overflow groove 211 to accommodate the overflow glue after the melting of the positioning rod 11, and providing the glue discharge groove 131 to accommodate the overflow glue after the melting of the mounting surface 13 and the overflow glue after the melting of the limiting convex plate 15, the problem of hot riveting overflow glue between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1 is solved.

[0052] Moreover, through the bonding effect between the overflow glue in the overflow glue groove 211 and the moving contact 2, and the bonding effect between the overflow glue in the glue discharge groove 131 and the moving contact 2, and by forming an umbrella-shaped bonding boss 18 between the top of the positioning rod 11 and the top of the positioning through hole 21, the connection between the contact support 1 and the moving contact 2 becomes more reliable, thus solving the problem of thermal riveting detachment between the moving contact 2 and the contact support 1.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
