[0021] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-5 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] As shown in the figure, a circuit breaker operating mechanism includes a frame 1, a trip shaft 2 and a trip spring 3, the trip shaft 2 is rotatably set on the frame 1, the trip shaft 2 is fixedly connected to a swing frame 4, a T-shaped support sleeve 5 is rotatably set on the swing frame 4, the large head end of the support sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the swing frame 4, and an axial hole 51 is formed in the center of the support sleeve 5 and passes through the support sleeve 5 to one end, a rotating support shaft 6 is rotatably set on the frame 1, a telescopic shaft 7 matching the axial hole 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating support shaft 6, one end of the telescopic shaft 7 passes through the axial hole 51 and an abutment plate 8 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft 7, the trip spring 3 is sleeved on the small head end of the support sleeve 5 so that the two ends of the trip spring 3 respectively abut the large head end of the support tube and the abutment plate 8.
[0023] Specifically, the structure of the swing frame 4 is as follows: the swing frame 4 is composed of an upper plate 41, a lower plate 42 and a connecting rod 43, the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42 are fixedly connected to the opening shaft 2, and several of the connecting rods 43 are located between the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42 and fixedly connected to the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42. Through the above structure, the swing frame has high strength and is easy to process.
[0024] In the above structure, when the circuit breaker is closed, the swing frame 4 is swung toward the rotating support shaft 6 by the gear driven by the motor (the structure of the motor toggling the swing frame 4 through the gear belongs to the existing technology and will not be expanded here). The swing frame 4 drives the opening shaft 2 to rotate to close the circuit breaker and drives the support sleeve 5 to move. The support sleeve 5 drives the telescopic shaft 7 to move. Since one end of the support sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the swing frame 4, and the telescopic shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the rotatable rotating support shaft 6, the swing of the swing frame 4 and the rotation of the rotating support shaft 6 cause the telescopic shaft 7 to slide axially relative to the support sleeve 5 in the shaft hole 51, so that the large end of the support sleeve 5 and the abutment plate 8 are close to each other to compress the opening spring 3. When the circuit breaker is opened, the opening shaft 2 is opened. The rebound force of the spring 3 drives the large end of the support sleeve 5 and the abutment plate 8 away from each other, so that the support sleeve 5 drives the swing frame 4 to swing away from the rotating support shaft 6 and drives the opening shaft 2 to rotate to achieve opening. Through the above structure, when the opening spring 3 is compressed or rebounded with the opening and closing action of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, it is radially limited by the small end of the support sleeve 5 and always remains stably on the small end of the support sleeve 5, and will not produce radial deviation with the support sleeve 5 and the telescopic shaft 7. The rebound force generated by the compression of the opening spring 3 can act stably on the swing frame 4 along the axial direction of the support sleeve 5 to make it swing and drive the opening shaft 2 to rotate to achieve opening, thereby ensuring the stability of the circuit breaker operating mechanism during action, and then ensuring the stability of the circuit breaker during operation.
[0025] In addition, on the basis of the above structure, a connecting groove 52 matching the connecting rod 43 is provided on the end face of the big end of the support sleeve 5, and the big end of the support sleeve 5 is against one of the connecting rods 43 to keep the connecting rod 43 in the connecting groove 52. The big end of the support sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the swing frame 4 through the cooperation of the connecting groove 52 and the connecting rod 43. In addition, this structure can realize the separation of the support sleeve 5 and the swing frame 4 by pushing the support sleeve 5 away from the swing frame 4 so that the connecting rod 43 withdraws from the connecting groove 52, thereby realizing the disassembly of the trip spring 3. While facilitating the operation during assembly, it is also convenient for replacing and maintaining the trip spring 3, so that the trip spring 3 maintains good performance to drive the swing frame 4 to realize the tripping action of the circuit breaker.
[0026] In addition, on the basis of the above structure, a support plate 9 located on one side of the swing frame 4 is fixedly provided on the frame body 1, and a buffer pad 91 located on the swing path of one of the connecting rods 43 is fixedly provided on the support plate 9. When the swing frame 4 swings under the action of the rebound force of the opening spring 3 to perform the opening action of the circuit breaker, the buffer pad 91 located on the swing path of the connecting rod 43 conflicts with the connecting rod 43, which has a buffering effect on the rapid swing of the swing frame 4, reduces the overall vibration when the circuit breaker operating mechanism is opened, and also reduces the noise when the circuit breaker operating mechanism is opened.
[0027] In addition, based on the above structure, a limiting protrusion 81 extending into the opening spring 3 is formed on the end face of the abutment plate 8. The limiting protrusion 81 plays a radial limiting role on the end of the opening spring 3, and cooperates with the small head end of the support sleeve 5 to further enhance the stability of the opening spring 3 on the support sleeve 5, thereby preventing the opening spring 3 from generating radial deviation.
[0028] In addition, on the basis of the above structure, a threaded hole 61 is opened on the rotating support shaft 6, and the telescopic shaft 7 is threaded in the threaded hole 61 to realize a fixed connection with the rotating support shaft 6. By rotating the telescopic shaft 7, it is caused to move axially relative to the support sleeve 5 on the rotating support shaft 6, and the abutment plate 8 is driven to move to adjust the distance between the abutment plate 8 and the large end of the support sleeve 5, thereby realizing the adjustment of the preload of the opening spring 3, so as to adjust the size of the rebound force of the opening spring 3 after compression, meet the requirements of different opening speeds, and have better practicality.
[0029] In addition, based on the above structure, the outer surface of the support sleeve 5 is formed with first reinforcing ribs 53 extending axially along the support sleeve 5 and second reinforcing ribs 54 extending circumferentially along the support sleeve 5, which are staggered with each other. The first reinforcing ribs 53 and the second reinforcing ribs 54 strengthen the strength of the support sleeve 5, so that it can withstand greater forces without causing radial and axial deformation, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the circuit breaker operating mechanism during opening and closing operations.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
