Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances and the field of miniature circuit breakers, and specifically to a sampling module and a circuit breaker combination. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, intelligent miniature circuit breakers have been developed on a large scale in the field of low-voltage circuit breakers. For example, such circuit breakers often have functions such as voltage sampling and temperature sampling.

[0003] There are many common voltage sampling and temperature sampling methods. One of them is to use an integrated circuit breaker, that is, a complete circuit breaker has these functions. For example, the structure disclosed in CN214254314U integrates these sampling functions such as voltage sampling, temperature sampling feedback, etc. into the entire circuit breaker. Of course, such an intelligent circuit breaker does have its own unique advantages. For example, the product looks like a whole, appears to be fully functional and grand, but it also brings a problem of too high cost. It cannot be compatible with the most common circuit breakers (only having the simplest overload protection, short-circuit protection, or even having leakage protection), or it is impossible to be modified on the most common circuit breakers, but a whole new mold for the circuit breaker needs to be opened separately.

[0004] Of course, there are also some circuit breakers that make the voltage sampling and temperature sampling into a module and assemble it on one side of the terminal of the circuit breaker. Although such a sampling module can be combined with the most common circuit breaker to achieve temperature and voltage sampling, its sampling piece can only be connected at the wiring hole of the circuit breaker (or inside the wiring frame), occupying too much space of the wiring hole and being not conducive to wiring, such as the structure disclosed in CN215644341U.

[0005] Therefore, how to more reasonably design a sampling module that does not occupy the space of the wiring hole and can cooperate with ordinary circuit breakers is obviously a problem worthy of consideration. Summary of the Utility Model

Embodiment

[0042] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of this application is a circuit breaker combination, which includes a circuit breaker 1, an electronic module 3, and a sampling module 2.

[0043] The circuit breaker 1, which can also be said to be an air switch, can achieve corresponding functions such as overload protection and short - circuit protection. Of course, the circuit breaker 1 here can also be selected as a leakage circuit breaker 1 that also includes a leakage protection function. No matter which type of circuit breaker 1 it is, its working principle belongs to the conventional means in this field and will not be elaborated here. The circuit breaker 1 can be single - pole (as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown), or it can be three - pole (as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 shown).

[0044] The electronic module 3 contains a circuit board assembly inside. The electronic module 3 here is used to receive the sampling signals from the sampling module 2. For example, it can receive temperature signals, voltage signals, current signals, etc., and can be designed according to actual needs specifically. Of course, the transmission methods of these signals to the circuit board assembly belong to the conventional means in this field and will not be elaborated here. It is worth mentioning that the electronic module 3 can also include a communication function, so that the host computer can communicate with the electronic module 3 to transmit parameter information (such as temperature signals, voltage signals, current signals, etc.). Of course, the way of realizing the transmission of information by this communication function also belongs to the conventional means in this field and will not be elaborated here either.

[0045] The electronic module 3 is arranged on one side of the width direction 10 of the pole circuit breaker 1, and the housing of the electronic module 3 is fixedly connected to the housing of the circuit breaker 1 by riveting. Of course, snap connection can also be used here, or a combination of snap connection and riveting can be used for fixation. No matter which method is used, as long as the connection between the two is stable.

[0046] Each pole circuit breaker 1 has two wiring terminal cavities 110, and the two wiring terminal cavities 110 are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction 30 of the housing of the circuit breaker 1. Each wiring terminal cavity 110 is used to place a wiring component, and the wiring component here includes a wiring screw 1100, a wiring frame 1110, and a busbar 1120. Specifically, the wiring screw 1100 is threadedly connected to the wiring frame 1110. The busbar 1120 is a bent structure, which can be said to be a continuously bent structure, so that one end of the conductive part can extend into the wiring frame 1110 (this part is used to clamp the wire, or can be said to be used for wiring), and at least a part of the wire is sleeved on the wiring screw 1100 (this part is clamped to the sampling piece 220 by the screw head of the wiring screw 1100).

[0047] The sampling modules 2, with a quantity of two, are respectively connected to both sides of the length direction 30 of the housing of the circuit breaker 1. Here, the connection method is snap connection, which will be specifically described below and will not be elaborated here.

[0048] Insertion holes 120 are provided on both the left and right sides of the length direction 30 of the housing of the circuit breaker 1 (which can also be said to be the holes originally reserved by the circuit breaker for the insertion of the busbar and now changed to allow the sampling piece 220 to pass through). The insertion holes 120 are communicated with the wiring terminal cavities 110 to allow the sampling pieces 220 of the two sampling modules 2 to be inserted.

[0049] Both of the two sampling modules 2 include a module housing 210, a sampling piece 220, a sampling element 230, and a lead 240.

[0050] Here, one end of the sampling piece 220 is a fixing part 2210, and the other end of the sampling piece 220 is a contact part 2220. The fixing part 2210 is fixed to the module housing 210, and the contact part 2220 extends outside the module housing 210 and is inserted into the wiring terminal cavity 110 through the insertion hole 120 and is clamped by the head of the corresponding wiring screw 1100 and the busbar 1120. Here, an avoidance groove 2230 is provided on the contact part 2220, and the avoidance groove 2230 allows part of the wiring screw 1100 to pass through. Through the opening of the avoidance groove 2230, the shape of the contact part 2220 becomes as Figure 5 shown in a U shape. Of course, in addition to the U shape, it can also be a 30 shape, as long as it can allow part of the wiring screw 1100 to pass through. Of course, bubble points can also be provided on the contact part 220 here to increase the friction force.

[0051] The sampling element 230 is attached to a part of the sampling piece 220 located inside the module housing 210, and in this embodiment, it is attached to the upper surface of the fixing portion 2210 (for example, welded to fasten the two, and of course, snap connection or other methods can also be used).

[0052] One end of the lead 240 is electrically connected to the sampling element 230, and the other end penetrates into the electronic module 3 and is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly. Here, the connection method between the lead 240 and the sampling element 230 is welding, and the connection method between the lead 240 and the circuit board assembly can be formed by a connector for convenient manufacturing and assembly.

[0053] For the sampling element 230, it can be a voltage sampling component with only voltage sampling function (for example, transmitting a voltage signal to the circuit board assembly to achieve voltage monitoring or powering the power circuit of the circuit board assembly, etc. For the specific circuits for realizing these functions, they are already common knowledge and will not be elaborated here), or it can be a temperature sampling component with only temperature sampling function (for example, transmitting an electrical signal to the circuit board assembly, and the circuit board assembly can identify the corresponding temperature information according to this electrical signal. Such circuits for temperature recognition functions are also already common knowledge and will not be elaborated), or it can be a temperature sampling component and a voltage sampling component with both sampling functions. In this embodiment, a thermocouple is used, and the electrical parameters it samples can be used to identify temperature and can also be used for voltage-related functions.

[0054] By using such a module, it can be spliced on one side of the most common circuit breaker 1. Since the sampling piece 220 is provided with an avoidance groove 2230, the wiring screw 1100 can pass through the avoidance groove 2230 to clamp the contact portion 2220 between the head of the wiring screw 1100 and the bus bar 1120. It neither wastes the space of the wiring hole (wiring frame 1110) nor can transform the most common circuit breaker 1 to realize sampling of temperature, voltage, etc.

[0055] As Figure 1 shown, for the module housing 210 on the left side (i.e., the first side) in the length direction 30 of the circuit breaker 1 housing, it has an avoidance groove 2130. An exhaust hole 130 is provided on the left side surface in the length direction 30 of the circuit breaker 1 housing (for discharging gas when the circuit breaker 1 trips), and the avoidance groove 2130 communicates with the exhaust hole 130, so that the gas will not be interfered by the module housing 210, which is beneficial to the exhaust of the circuit breaker 1.

[0056] As Figure 2As shown, for the module housing 210 on the right side (i.e., the second side) in the length direction 30 of the housing of the circuit breaker 1, it has an avoidance space 2140. A bimetal adjustment hole 140 (a hole for adjusting the bimetal) is provided on the right side surface of the housing of the circuit breaker 1 in the length direction 30. The module housing 210 is provided with an avoidance space 2140, and the avoidance space 2140 communicates with the bimetal adjustment hole 140. Here, the avoidance space 2140 is actually the lower area of the module housing 210 after the module housing 210 is fixed to the housing of the circuit breaker 1.

[0057] Here, as Figure 5 shown, the fixing method between the fixing part 2210 and the module housing 210 is by plugging. That is, a first slot 2150 is provided on the module housing 210, and a part of the fixing part 2210 is inserted into the first slot 2150. The first slot 2150 is formed by ribs formed on the module housing 210. The module housing 210 also has an abutting plate 2160. The abutting plate 2160 is located on one side of the first slot 2150 and extends beyond the first slot 2150, so that one surface of the fixing part 2210 can abut against the abutting plate 2160. Here, the abutting plate 2160 is actually formed by extending one of the ribs that form the first slot 2150, so it can extend beyond the first slot 2150 to form an abutment with the abutting plate 2160. Here, the first abutting plate 2160 can be set to abut against the upper surface of the fixing part 2210 or the lower surface of the fixing part 2210.

[0058] Here, the module housing 210 is provided with a first fastener group, and the first fastener group forms a snap connection with the housing of the circuit breaker 1. Such a structure is very beneficial to the assembly of the two.

[0059] Here, the cooperation between the first snap group and the circuit breaker 1 actually makes use of the existing accessory mounting holes and slots on the circuit breaker 1 (originally these holes and slots were for hanging accessories such as shunt trips and auxiliaries).

[0060] As Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the first snap group includes a first snap 2170. One end of the first snap 2170 is connected to the module housing 210, and the other end extends beyond the module housing 210. In the first direction (which can be said to be the height direction 20), the first snap 2170 is higher than the sampling piece 220. The number of the first snaps 2170 is two, and they are snap-connected to the first mounting hole 150 in the accessory mounting hole. Such a structure can directly snap-fix the module housing 210 to an ordinary circuit breaker 1 without the need to additionally drill holes on the circuit breaker 1 (directly using the existing circuit breaker 1).

[0061] AsFigure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , the first buckle group includes a first plug 2180. One end of the first plug 2180 is connected to the module housing 210, and the other end extends beyond the module housing 210. In the first direction (which can be said to be the height direction 20), the first plug 2180 is higher than the sampling chip 220. The number of the first plugs 2180 is two, and they are inserted correspondingly into the first mounting grooves 160 in the accessory mounting holes. The assembly can be completed by using the first mounting grooves 160 of the existing circuit breaker 1, without the need to additionally drill holes in the circuit breaker 1 (directly borrowing the existing circuit breaker 1).

[0062] As Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the first fastener group includes a second buckle 2190. In the first direction (which can be said to be the height direction 20), the second buckle 2190 is lower than the sampling chip 220. The number of the second buckles 2190 is also two, and they are correspondingly clamped with the second mounting grooves 170 in the accessory mounting holes. With such a structure, the assembly can also be completed by borrowing the second mounting grooves 170 of the existing circuit breaker 1.

[0063] For the sampling module 2, its module housing 210 can be a structure formed by integral injection molding or a split molding structure.

[0064] As a split molding structure, as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the module housing 210 includes a base 2110 and a cover plate 2120. The base 2110 has a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity has an opening on the base 2110. The cover plate 2120 is used to cover the opening. The cover plate 2120 and the base 2110 are fixed by clamping, that is, through the cooperation of the second buckle group and the bayonet 2125 group. Here, the second buckle group includes six hooks 2115 formed on the base 2110, which are distributed near the outer wall of the base 2110; the bayonet 2125 group includes six bayonets 2125, and the hooks 2115 and the bayonets 2125 correspond one by one to form a clamping fixation. Of course, the number of the hooks 2115 and the bayonets 2125 here can be more or less, as long as the two can be stably connected together. Of course, in addition to this, the cover plate 2120 and the base 2110 can also be connected by means of screw fastening, riveting, ultrasonic welding, etc.

[0065] In this way, the first buckle group is arranged on the cover plate 2120, and the assembly of the module housing 210 and the housing of the circuit breaker 1 can be realized. The specific structure of the first buckle group has been exemplified above and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] AsFigure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , based on the structure of the module housing 210 with the cover plate 2120, the first slot 2150 is provided in the accommodation cavity. The cover plate 2120 has a first through hole 2121. The fixing part 2210 is inserted into the first slot 2150, and the contact part 2220 extends out of the module housing 210 through the first through hole 2121. Such a result is beneficial to the arrangement of the sampling piece 220.

[0067] Based on the structure of the module housing 210 with the cover plate 2120, the accommodation cavity has a mutual inductor chamber and a sampling element chamber. The base 2110 is provided with a through hole 2111 (corresponding to the wiring hole of the circuit breaker 1, and the main circuit conductor passes through it). The mutual inductor chamber surrounds the periphery of the through hole 2111. In the first direction (height direction 20), the sampling element chamber is located above the mutual inductor chamber. Here, the sampling element chamber accommodates the sampling element 230, and the mutual inductor chamber is used to accommodate the mutual inductor 250. Specifically, the mutual inductor 250 is fixed in the mutual inductor chamber by means of epoxy resin potting. The central hole of the mutual inductor 250 overlaps with the through hole 2111. In addition, the mutual inductor 250 can also be fixed in the mutual inductor chamber by means of snap connection.

[0068] For the lead wire 240 of the sampling piece and the wire of the mutual inductor 250, they are led out through the wiring hole 2195 on the module housing 210, and then penetrate into the electronic module 3 to form an electrical connection with the circuit board assembly (for example, by using a connector). Here, the wiring hole 2195 of the module housing 210 is opened along the third direction, that is, along the width direction 10.
