Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to an operating mechanism of a circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device that can close, carry and interrupt the current under normal circuit conditions, and can close, carry and interrupt the current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. The circuit breaker has overload, short circuit and undervoltage protection functions, which can protect the line and power equipment from damage. At the same time, it can also provide protection against fire hazards that may be caused by long-term grounding faults that cannot be detected by overcurrent protection. The circuit breaker includes a base, an upper cover, an operating mechanism, a moving contact, a static contact, and an arc extinguishing system. The structural design of the existing operating mechanism is relatively complex, resulting in a slow opening and closing speed of the circuit breaker. The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker also has the defects of insensitive tripping action, slow tripping speed, and low working reliability. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an operating mechanism for a circuit breaker with simple structure, stable and reliable performance, sensitive tripping action and high reliability.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts an operating mechanism of a circuit breaker, including a mechanism frame arranged in a base, a lever rotatably arranged on the mechanism frame, a handle arranged on the lever, a lower connecting rod rotatably arranged on a rotating shaft, a connecting rod shaft arranged on one end of the lower connecting rod, an upper connecting rod rotatably arranged on the connecting rod shaft, a tension spring arranged between the connecting rod shaft and the lever, a jump buckle rotatably arranged on the mechanism frame, a lock buckle rotatably arranged on the mechanism frame and matched with the jump buckle, and a re-lock rotatably arranged on the mechanism frame and matched with the jump buckle, a load-bearing plane matched with the connecting rod shaft is arranged on one side of the jump buckle, the connecting rod shaft abuts against the load-bearing plane, and constitutes a linkage match between the jump buckle and the connecting rod shaft, a buckling groove matched with the jump buckle is arranged on the upper connecting rod, and a locking block buckled with the buckling groove is arranged on the jump buckle.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the above structure are: the operating mechanism adopts a connecting rod type structural design, the structural design is simpler, the opening and closing speed is faster, and the working reliability is higher. When closing the circuit breaker, the connecting rod shaft moves with the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod and contacts the load-bearing plane of the trip button. The connecting rod shaft drives the trip button to move, and the trip button is engaged with the upper connecting rod to achieve rapid closing of the operating mechanism; when a line fault occurs, the thermal magnetic tripping mechanism of the circuit breaker drives the re-tripping action, and the re-tripping and the trip button are unlocked, thereby achieving rapid tripping and opening of the operating mechanism. Therefore, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, sensitive tripping action, and high reliability.

[0006] In particular, the re-latching end has a limiting arm that cooperates with the jumping latch. A locking groove that cooperates with the re-latching is provided on the jumping latch. The limiting arm is latched in the locking groove, forming a limiting fit between the jumping latch and the re-latching. The re-latching is latched in the locking groove of the jumping latch through the limiting arm, which can ensure the reliable locking of the re-latching and the jumping latch, thus facilitating the improvement of the working reliability of the operating mechanism.

[0007] In particular, a positioning shaft is provided on the mechanism frame corresponding to the jumping latch. A positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning shaft is provided on the jumping latch. The positioning shaft is inserted into the positioning hole, forming a rotational connection fit between the jumping latch and the positioning shaft. The jumping latch is rotatably arranged on the positioning shaft, which facilitates the assembly of the jumping latch and the mechanism frame and can ensure the reliable operation of the jumping latch.

[0008] In particular, positioning grooves are respectively provided at both ends of the positioning shaft inside the base. Both ends of the positioning shaft are clamped in the positioning grooves, forming a limiting fit between the limiting shaft and the base. The positioning shaft is clamped in the positioning grooves of the base, which facilitates the assembly of the operating mechanism and the base and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0009] In particular, two positioning arms are provided on both sides of the mechanism frame. Two arc-shaped positioning grooves that cooperate with the two positioning arms are provided on both sides of the lever. The two positioning arms are inserted into the two arc-shaped positioning grooves, forming a rotational connection fit between the lever and the two positioning arms. The lever is clamped on the two positioning arms through the arc-shaped positioning grooves, which facilitates the assembly of the lever and the mechanism frame and can ensure the reliable operation of the lever on the mechanism frame, contributing to the improvement of the working reliability of the operating mechanism.

[0010] In particular, anti-disengagement limiting blocks that limit the lever are respectively provided at the tails of the two positioning arms. The anti-disengagement limiting blocks play a role in limiting the lever, ensuring a more compact connection between the lever and the two positioning arms. Description of the Drawings
