Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, and particularly relates to a visual monitoring device for an internal isolation-break vacuum circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] A vacuum circuit breaker is a switching device that can close, carry, and interrupt the current under normal circuit conditions and can also close, carry, and interrupt the current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time; an isolating switch can disconnect a no-load circuit to protect corresponding personnel during maintenance; the two are generally used in combination so that the circuit breaker can be overhauled after the circuit is disconnected by the isolating switch. The vacuum circuit breaker should be inspected at least once a year to check whether the fasteners are loose. When the circuit breaker is placed for a long time or rarely operated, the moving parts may become blocked. For places with frequent operations, especially for internal isolating switches, special attention should be paid to whether the contacts are in place during opening and closing, the wear condition of the contacts, and the temperature condition during abnormal operation. It cannot be used continuously when the temperature exceeds the allowable operating temperature of the isolating switch contacts.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN116469724A discloses an internal isolation-break vacuum circuit breaker, which includes a circuit breaker body capable of controlling a circuit. The circuit breaker body is connected to a switch chamber with a vacuum inside. A static contact for connecting to an external circuit is fixedly connected inside the switch chamber. A moving contact capable of moving to contact or separate from the static contact is arranged inside the switch chamber. The circuit breaker body and the switch chamber are connected to a control box, and a switch driving device for controlling the movement of the moving contact is arranged inside the control box. The moving contact and the static contact are both arranged inside the vacuum switch chamber, so that the circuit can be effectively connected between the moving contact and the static contact even in a poor external environment, improving the service life of the overall device. However, the structure of this internal isolation-break vacuum circuit breaker is in a completely sealed form, and it is impossible to accurately see whether the isolating switch port is closed in place before power transmission, and it is impossible to see whether the isolating switch is opened in place during power-off maintenance, which easily leads to the risk of misoperation.
