Furthermore, conventional release mechanisms often require multiple intermediate linkage components to achieve directional motion conversion when switching the release direction. The combined friction generated by these multiple moving parts during operation is significant, making operation laborious and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a combined feeder circuit breaker tripping mechanism includes a connecting rod 1, a lever 2, an adjustment plate 3, and a tripping block 4. One end of the connecting rod 1 is movably connected to a button sleeve rod 5; the button sleeve rod 5 is fixedly embedded in the surface of the feeder switch box; the other end of the connecting rod 1 is fixedly connected to an interference block 6;

[0020] The adjusting plate 3 is installed inside the box of the feed switch, and a rotating shaft 7 is installed in the middle of the lever 2. The rotating shaft 7 passes through the lever 2 and is fixedly installed on the outer side of the adjusting plate 3. One end of the lever 2 is in detachable contact with the contact block 6, and the trip block 4 is installed on the circuit breaker 8 of the feed switch. The other end of the lever 2 is in detachable contact with the trip block 4; the outer surface of the lever 2 is connected to one end of the tension spring 9, and the other end of the tension spring 9 is connected to the adjusting plate 3. The connection point of the tension spring 9 on the lever 2 is located between the rotating shaft 7 and the end of the lever 2 close to the contact block 6. In this embodiment, fixing bolts can be respectively installed on the lever 2 and the adjusting plate 3, so that the two ends of the tension spring 9 are respectively connected to the fixing bolts.

[0021] Working principle:

[0022] To trip the circuit breaker, the button inside the button sleeve 5 is pressed, pushing the connecting rod 1 axially toward the abutment block 6. This pushes one end of the lever 2 through the abutment block 6. Since the center of the lever 2 is connected to the adjustment plate 3 via the rotating shaft 7, the lever 2 can be rotated about the rotating shaft 7 to achieve a 90-degree change in direction. This causes the other end of the lever 2 to contact the surface of the trip block 4, pressing the trip block 4, thereby tripping and de-energizing the circuit breaker. When the button inside the button sleeve 5 is released, the lever 2 quickly resets itself after the operation, effectively preventing the problem of forgetting to reset the lever and causing a failure to close the circuit breaker. Furthermore, the contact between the abutment block 6 and the lever 2 is separated, eliminating any jamming, effectively reducing frictional resistance, and facilitating assembly of various components.

[0023] Embodiment 2, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, the button sleeve rod 5 includes a mounting sleeve 51, which is fixedly embedded in the surface of the box of the feed switch, and a through hole 52 is opened in the middle of the mounting sleeve 51, which passes through the front and back. A pressing shaft 53 is movably connected in the through hole 52, and one end of the pressing shaft 53 passes through the through hole 52 and is connected to the end surface of the connecting rod 1. A button 54 is installed at the other end of the pressing shaft 53, and the button 54 is movably connected in the inner cavity of the through hole 52. A compression spring 55 is sleeved on the outer surface of the pressing shaft 53, and a step surface is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the through hole 52. The two ends of the compression spring 55 are respectively against the step surface and the inner side surface of the button 54.

[0024] Therefore, when the connecting rod 1 is pushed to move axially toward the abutment block 6, the button 54 is pressed to compress the compression spring 55, thereby driving the pressing shaft 53 to move along the through hole 52 toward the connecting rod 1. Since the end of the pressing shaft 53 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 1, the connecting rod 1 can be pushed axially toward the abutment block 6 by pressing the shaft 53, thereby achieving the operation of tripping and de-energizing the circuit breaker. After releasing the button 54, the elastic restoring force of the compression spring 55 can be used to push the button 54 to reset, and then the pressing shaft 53 can drive the connecting rod 1 to achieve the automatic reset effect after the operation, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of forgetting to reset the circuit breaker and causing it to fail to close.

[0025] In the third embodiment, as a further preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, the interference block 6 is a U-shaped block structure, one side of the interference block 6 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 1, and the other side of the interference block 6 is provided with a U-shaped groove, and the end of the lever 2 is in contact with the inner cavity of the U-shaped groove. By setting the interference block 6 as a U-shaped block structure, the end of the lever 2 can be in contact with the inner cavity of the U-shaped groove, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the end of the lever 2 when in contact with the interference block 6.

[0026] In the fourth embodiment, as a further preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, a mounting plate 10 is provided on the lower surface of the adjustment plate 3. A strip-shaped hole 11 is provided on the surface of the adjustment plate 3. A fixing screw 12 is provided in the strip-shaped hole 11. The fixing screw 12 passes through the strip-shaped hole 11 and is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 is laterally fixed to the inner wall of the feeder switch housing. The strip-shaped hole 11 on the surface of the adjustment plate 3 allows the mounting position of the adjustment plate 3 on the upper surface of the mounting plate 10 to be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs, thereby effectively ensuring that the end of the lever 2 on the adjustment plate 3 corresponds to the position of the trip block 4.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
