Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical appliance manufacturing, in particular to a housing structure of a molded case circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] A circuit breaker is an electrical product that can automatically cut off the power supply to protect under the conditions of undervoltage, overload and short circuit. A molded case circuit breaker is a circuit breaker in which all components are assembled into an integral body with a housing made of molded insulating material.
[0003] In a general power distribution network, the harm of the N-line break fault is relatively large. Therefore, a three-pole molded case circuit breaker is generally selected, and a four-pole one is only selected in special occasions such as when isolation is required. Since the four-pole circuit breaker is wider than the three-pole circuit breaker, the housing of the four-pole circuit breaker cannot be universal with that of the three-pole one and needs to be re-molded. The upper cover of the four-pole circuit breaker is flat and wide, so it deforms greatly, and the reliability of installing accessories is poor. When the circuit breaker trips due to short circuit, the generated air pressure can easily break through the cover. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] (1) Technical Problems to be Solved
[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a housing structure of a molded case circuit breaker, which has the characteristics of simple structure, reliable installation of accessories, high strength and good part universality.

A small cover capable of sealing the accessory cavity is provided in the middle cover. An upper cover connected to the circuit breaker body is provided on the middle cover.
[0008] Further, the middle cover is fastened to the circuit breaker body by screws. The upper cover is fastened to a side position of the middle cover by long screws. The accessory cavity is located at the other side position of the middle cover. The small cover is fastened to the middle cover by short screws.
[0009] Further, the width of the upper cover is smaller than that of the middle cover. The accessory cavity is located outside the upper cover. The small cover is close to the upper cover.
[0010] Further, a square hole is sequentially provided in the accessory cavity. A rotating shaft capable of performing opening and closing rotation is provided in the circuit breaker body. A boss corresponding to the square hole one by one is sequentially provided on the rotating shaft.
[0011] Further, two square holes are provided in the accessory cavity. Two bosses are provided on the rotating shaft.
[0012] Further, a hole to be knocked is provided on the outer side of the accessory cavity, and a concave surface connected to the accessory cavity is provided on the surface of the middle cover, and the concave surface is adapted to the small cover.
[0013] Further, the shape of the hole to be knocked is a dovetail shape, and the shape of the small cover is a flat plate shape.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, in this plastic case circuit breaker housing structure, by providing a small cover, the volume of the upper cover is reduced, making it universal with the upper cover of a three-pole circuit breaker, and the strength of the housing is improved.
