[0029] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0030] As Figure 1-2 shown, a circuit breaker simulation device includes a first closing and opening electromagnet 1, a second closing and opening electromagnet 2, an auxiliary switch 3, a time relay KT, and a signal connector.

[0031] The operating end 30 of the auxiliary switch 3 is connected with a cross bar 31. The telescopic ends of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 and the second closing and opening electromagnet 2 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two ends of the cross bar 31, and are used to drive the cross bar 31 to rotate when telescoping.

[0032] The signal connector includes a V+ terminal, a V- terminal, an FZ terminal, an HZ terminal, a COM terminal, a YXCOM terminal, an FW terminal, an HW terminal, and a CN terminal.

[0033] The V+ terminal is electrically connected to one end of the first normally closed switch S10 of the auxiliary switch 3. The other end of the first normally closed switch S10 is electrically connected to one end of the coil of the time relay KT. The other end of the coil of the time relay KT is electrically connected to the V- terminal.

[0034] The FZ terminal is electrically connected to one end of the first normally open switch S20 of the auxiliary switch 3. The other end of the first normally open switch S20 is electrically connected to one end of the coil TQ of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1. The other end of the coil TQ of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 is electrically connected to the COM terminal.

[0035] The HZ terminal is electrically connected to one end of the second normally closed switch S11 of the auxiliary switch 3. The other end of the second normally closed switch S11 is electrically connected to one end of the coil HQ of the second closing and opening electromagnet 2. The other end of the coil HQ of the second closing and opening electromagnet is electrically connected to the COM terminal.

[0036] The YXCOM terminal is respectively electrically connected to one end of the third normally closed switch S12 of the auxiliary switch 3, one end of the second normally open switch S21 of the auxiliary switch 2, and one end of the normally open switch of the time relay KT. The other end of the third normally closed switch S12 is electrically connected to the FW terminal. The other end of the second normally open switch S21 is electrically connected to the HW terminal. The other end of the normally open switch of the time relay KT is electrically connected to the CN terminal.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the signal connector is an aviation plug. The V+ terminal and the V- terminal are used to connect to the power supply. The FZ terminal is used to connect to the opening signal. The HZ terminal is used to connect to the closing signal. The FW terminal is used to output the opening feedback signal. The HW terminal is used to output the closing feedback signal. The CN terminal is used to output the energy storage feedback signal.

[0038] During actual use, the test process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0039] When closing, a closing signal of a switch quantity is input to the HZ terminal. This closing signal drives the coil HQ to be energized, thereby causing the second opening and closing electromagnet 2 to act, disconnecting the normally closed switch of the auxiliary switch 3, and making the normally open switch of the auxiliary switch 3 conduct. At this time, the first normally open switch S20 conducts, the second normally open switch S21 conducts, the HW terminal is electrically connected to the YXCOM terminal, and outputs a closing feedback signal;

[0040] When conducting an opening test after closing, a switch quantity opening signal is input to the FZ terminal. This opening signal drives the coil TQ of the first opening and closing electromagnet 1 to be energized, thereby causing the first opening and closing electromagnet 1 to act, making the normally closed switch of the auxiliary switch 3 conduct, and turning off the normally open switch of the auxiliary switch. At this time, the first normally closed switch S10 conducts, the third normally closed switch S12 conducts, the FW terminal is connected to the YXCOM terminal, and outputs an opening feedback signal; at the same time, the coil of the time relay KT is energized. After the delay time arrives, the normally open switch of the time relay KT conducts, the CN terminal is connected to the YXCOM terminal, and outputs an energy storage signal, thus completing the test of the opening and closing signals.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the present utility model further includes an intermediate relay KA. One end of the coil of the intermediate relay KA is electrically connected to one end of the third normally open switch S22 of the auxiliary switch 3. The other end of the third normally open switch S22 is electrically connected to the V+ terminal. The other end of the coil of the intermediate relay KA is electrically connected to the V- terminal;

[0042] One end of the three normally open switches of the intermediate relay KA is used to input a three-phase power supply, and the other end of the three normally open switches of the intermediate relay is used to output a three-phase power supply.

[0043] During actual use, when the coil TQ of the first opening and closing electromagnet 1 is energized, the third normally open switch S22 conducts, the coil of the intermediate relay KA is energized, and the normally open switch channel of the intermediate relay KA, thereby realizing the simulation of the access of the three-phase power supply.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the present utility model further includes a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped fixed box 4. Inside the fixed box 4, a first cavity 40 and a second cavity 41 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the fixed box 4;

[0046] The time relay KT and the intermediate relay KA are arranged in the second cavity 41.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the auxiliary switch 3 is relatively large in size, in order to facilitate the fixing of the auxiliary switch 3 during testing and enable the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 and the second closing and opening electromagnet 2 to control the auxiliary switch 3, the interior of the fixing box 4 is divided into two cavities.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, a jack 42 is provided on the left side surface of the fixing box 4, and the signal connector is installed in the jack 42.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to realize the manual operation of the auxiliary switch, a first rotating rod 5 is provided on the rear side wall of the fixing box 4. The outer end of the first rotating rod 5 is connected with a rotating handle 50, and the inner end of the first rotating rod 5 is connected with a vertical rod. The vertical rod is located on the left side of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 and the second closing and opening electromagnet 2, and the two ends of the vertical rod are correspondingly arranged with the telescopic ends of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 and the second closing and opening electromagnet 2.

[0050] During actual use, by rotating the rotating handle 50, the vertical rod can be driven to rotate, and the vertical rotation will drive the telescopic ends of the closing and opening electromagnets to rotate, thereby realizing the manual control of the auxiliary switch. Specifically, the telescopic control of the telescopic ends of the first closing and opening electromagnet 1 and the second closing and opening electromagnet 2 can be realized by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the vertical rod.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate observing the closing and opening process, an extension rod 32 is also connected to the operating end 30 of the auxiliary switch 3. The extension rod 32 passes through the rear side wall of the fixing box 4. An indicating needle 33 and a nut are provided on the part of the extension rod 32 passing through the fixing box. The nut is screwed on the extension rod 32 and is used to press the indicating needle 33 against the rear side wall of the fixing box 4. An indicating plate 34 for indicating the opening and closing state is provided on the rear side wall of the fixing box 4 on the right side of the indicating needle 33.

[0052] During actual use, when the operating end 30 of the auxiliary switch 3 moves, the operating end 30 will simultaneously drive the indicating needle 33 to rotate, so that the indicating needle 33 points to different areas of the indicating plate 34, thereby indicating whether it is in the closing test state or the opening test state.

[0053] It should be noted that although Figure 3 the nut is not marked, for those skilled in the art, screwing the nut on the extension rod 32 and pressing the indicating needle 33 against the rear side wall of the fixing box 4 is a prior art solution.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, three first terminal blocks 6 are installed on the top surface of the fixed box 4, and a support frame 7 as shown in Figure 4 the figure is installed on the front side surface of the fixed box 4. Three second terminal blocks 8 are provided on the support frame 7. One end of the three normally open switches of each intermediate relay KA is electrically connected to each first terminal block 6 through a wire, and the other ends of the normally open switches of the three intermediate relays KA are electrically connected to the three second terminal blocks 8 through a wire. Current transformers are respectively provided on the connection lines between each first terminal block 6 and the corresponding second terminal block 8.

[0055] It should be noted that although the current transformers are not marked in the drawings, for those skilled in the art, it is a common means in the art to set current transformers on the connection lines.

[0056] In summary, during actual use, the opening and closing signals of the terminal are connected to the present utility model through the signal connector, and the feedback signal for verifying whether the opening and closing signals are correct is also output from the signal connector; when the opening and closing signals are input into the present utility model, the state of the switch channel of the auxiliary switch 3 is changed through the actions of the first opening and closing electromagnet 1 and the second opening and closing electromagnet 2, thereby controlling the on-off of the coil power supply of the time relay KT. Finally, the corresponding opening and closing feedback signals are output through the switch channel of the auxiliary switch 3 and the normally open switch of the time relay KT, so as to verify whether the opening and closing signals are accurate, and ultimately an opening and closing test can be carried out without using a circuit breaker.

[0057] Based on the inspiration of the present utility model, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications within the scope not deviating from the technical idea of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
