Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Such as Figure 1-2It is a schematic structural diagram of a moving contact assembly of a plastic case circuit breaker according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a moving contact assembly of a plastic case circuit breaker includes a clamping plate assembly 1. The clamping plate assembly 1 includes clamping plates 2, a rotating rod 3, a fixed rod 5, and a spring 4. Two clamping plates 2 are sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 3. The rotation of the rotating rod 3 drives the clamping plates 2 and the moving contact 6 to rotate. Fixed rods 5 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom surfaces at the rear end of the clamping plates 2. A spring 4 is connected between the two fixed rods 5. This structural design enables the moving contact 6 to utilize the elasticity of the spring 4 to quickly separate from the static contact during the breaking process. Between the two clamping plates 2 on the surface of the rotating rod 3, there are a moving contact 6 and a moving contact seat 7. The moving contact 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3, so that the rotating rod 3 can drive the moving contact 6 to rotate during rotation, and the moving contact seat 7 is located on both sides of the moving contact 6.

[0022] In this embodiment, the moving contact seat 7 includes a fixed seat 71, a connecting plate 72, and a limiting piece 73. A connecting plate 72 is vertically fixedly connected to one end surface of the fixed seat 71. Limiting pieces 73 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 72 away from the fixed seat 71, and the limiting pieces 73 are arranged on both sides of the moving contact 6. By arranging the limiting pieces 73 on both sides of the moving contact 6, the gap between the moving contact 6 and the inner wall of the clamping plate 2 is reduced, so that the moving contact 6 can be restricted from shaking left and right under the action of the spring 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 74 is opened in the middle of the surface of the limiting piece 73, and the limiting piece 73 is movably connected to the surface of the rotating rod 3 through the inner wall of the connecting hole 74.

[0024] In this embodiment, an avoidance opening 76 is opened at the top of the connecting plate 72. Since the internal space of the plastic case circuit breaker is narrow, in order to prevent interference with the use of other components, the avoidance opening 76 is provided. A fixing hole 75 is opened in the middle of the surface of the fixed seat 71. The fixed seat is fixed through the fixing hole 75, effectively preventing the position deviation of the limiting piece 73 caused by the vibration during the rotation of the moving contact 6, and losing its function of preventing the moving contact 6 from shaking left and right.

[0025] In this embodiment, the moving contact seat 7 adopts an integrally formed structural design, and its structural design increases the connection strength of the moving contact seat 7.

[0026] In this embodiment, clamping grooves 51 are opened on both sides of the surface of the fixed rod 5, and a spring 4 is clamped in the clamping grooves 51, effectively preventing the spring 4 from detaching under its own elasticity.

[0027] The above content is a further detailed description of the present utility model in combination with specific embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present utility model is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model pertains, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, and all should be regarded as falling within the protection scope determined by the claims submitted for the present utility model.
