[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention provides an embodiment of a molded case circuit breaker micro switch push rod structure, comprising:

[0037] The operating mechanism is arranged inside the circuit breaker and consists of a top rod 2, a lock 7, a tripping buckle 8 and a side plate 9;

[0038] Side plate 9, side plate 9 is arranged on one side of the operating mechanism;

[0039] A push rod 2, a first rotating shaft 3 is provided at the front end of the push rod 2, and the push rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the front end of the side plate 9 through the second rotating shaft 3;

[0040] The lock buckle 7 is provided at the rear end of the side plate 9;

[0041] The jump buckle 8 is rotatably connected to the side plate 9, and the jump buckle 8 overlaps the lock buckle 7;

[0042] The micro switch 6 is arranged inside the operating mechanism.

[0043] When the operating mechanism is re-locked, the first overlapping point 10 of the tripping buckle 8 overlaps with the lock buckle 7, and the second overlapping point 11 moves the push rod 2 in the direction of overcoming the tension of the spring 4, and the bushing 1 triggers the microswitch 6, so that the microswitch 6 outputs a circuit breaker re-locking ready state signal; when the operating mechanism is tripped, the first overlapping point 10 on the tripping buckle 8 is disengaged from the lock buckle 7, and the second overlapping point 11, through the tension of the spring 4, causes the bushing 1 to move and release the contact of the microswitch 6, thereby resetting the microswitch 6, and the microswitch 6 outputs a circuit breaker tripping state signal; therefore, the state of the operating mechanism can be directly observed by the user through the triggering of the microswitch 6.

[0044] In this embodiment, a spring hanging hole 14 is provided on one side of the top of the push rod 2, and a protrusion 13 is provided on the other side of the two ends of the push rod 2. The push rod 2 is installed with the bushing 1 through the protrusion 13. The push rod 2 is stably and firmly installed with the bushing 1 through the protrusion 13, so that the bushing 1 can be prevented from detaching from the push rod 2 during long-term work; and the bushing 1 has different models, which can match one or more micro switches 6 and micro switches 6 of different models, so that the bushing 1 can be adjusted according to different quantities and different models of micro switches 6, so the model of the bushing 1 is not limited in this application.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first overlapping point 10 and a second overlapping point 11 are respectively installed at both ends of the jump buckle 8. When the operating mechanism is buckled again, the first overlapping point 10 on the jump buckle 8 will overlap with the lock buckle 7; when the operating mechanism is disengaged, the first overlapping point 10 on the jump buckle 8 will be separated from the lock buckle 7; in this process, the bushing 1 can control the start of the micro switch 6.

[0046] In this embodiment, a second rotating shaft 5 is provided on one end of the side plate 9 close to the first rotating shaft 3, and the push rod 2 is installed with a spring 4 through the spring hanging hole 14 and the second rotating shaft 5. The spring 4 cooperates between the second rotating shaft 5 and the spring hanging hole 14. When the push rod 2 is moved by the rotation of the trip buckle 8, the push rod 2 can drive the bushing 1 to move, thereby triggering the micro switch 6, and when the trip is triggered, the push rod 2 can be reset by the spring 4.

[0047] In this embodiment, a bushing socket 15 is opened on one side of the bushing 1, and a movable push rod 12 is provided on the micro switch 6. The bushing 1 and the movable push rod 12 are overlapped. When the operating mechanism is buckled again, the bushing 1 will squeeze the movable push rod 12 and trigger the micro switch 6; when the operating mechanism is disengaged, the bushing 1 will not squeeze the movable push rod 12 to close the micro switch 6.

[0048] In this embodiment, the push rod 2 is made of metal and a reinforcing rib is provided on the top of the push rod 2. Since the push rod 2 is a metal part and the reinforcing rib is provided on the push rod 2, the strength of the push rod 2 can be improved and the push rod 2 can be prevented from being deformed. A protrusion 13 is provided on the push rod 2, and the bushing 1 is stably and firmly installed on the push rod 2 through the protrusion 13, so that the bushing 1 can further limit the deformation of the push rod 2; therefore, the push rod 2 will not be deformed in a high temperature resistant environment and has a strong matching performance.

[0049] In this embodiment, rotation holes are provided at the bottom of both sides of the top rod 2, and the top rod 2 is rotatably connected to the side plate 9 through the first rotating shaft 3, so that the top rod 2 can rotate on the side plate 9, and the spring 4 can limit the rotation range of the top rod 2 and can cooperate with the jump buckle 8 for overlap.

[0050] In this embodiment, a connecting shaft is set on one side of the side plate 9 near one end of the first rotating shaft 3, and the jump buckle 8 is rotatably connected to the side plate 9 through the connecting shaft. The jump buckle 8 rotates along the connecting shaft to achieve overlap between the lock buckle 7, the jump buckle 8 and the top rod 2.

[0051] Working principle: When the operating mechanism is re-locked, the first overlapping point 10 on the tripping buckle 8 overlaps with the lock buckle 7, and the second overlapping point 11 pushes the push rod 2 in the direction of overcoming the tension of the spring 4. The bushing 1 will squeeze the movable push rod 12 on the micro switch 6, thereby starting the micro switch 6, so that the micro switch 6 outputs the circuit breaker re-locking ready state signal; when the operating mechanism is tripped, the first overlapping point 10 on the tripping buckle 8 disengages from the lock buckle 7, the second overlapping point 11 will release the tension of the spring 4, the bushing 1 will leave the movable push rod 12 on the micro switch 6, and the micro switch 6 will reset, so that the micro switch 6 outputs the circuit breaker tripping state signal.

[0052] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention are illustrative and non-restrictive.
