Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an environmental protection cabinet circuit breaker. Background Art
[0002] Environmentally friendly cabinet circuit breakers are the core switchgear of environmentally friendly switchgear. They are widely used in medium and low voltage power distribution systems, performing functions such as circuit connection, disconnection, and fault protection. Their most prominent feature is the use of environmentally friendly dielectrics such as air, nitrogen, and solid insulating materials, replacing the potent greenhouse gas SF6 as insulation and arc extinguishing media, thus reducing carbon emissions at the source. This device offers reliable insulation and arc extinguishing performance, quickly interrupting the current in the event of a fault, ensuring system safety. The dielectric is non-toxic and flame-retardant, reducing operational risks. Suitable for use in scenarios such as new energy power plants, data centers, and rail transit, they feature long maintenance cycles and low costs. Existing circuit breakers require significant force to perform isolation operations, making the overall structure cumbersome and bulky, making it difficult to miniaturize and reducing its effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly cabinet circuit breaker, which has a simple structure, a more reasonable structural layout, reliable and stable isolation operation transmission, and good use effect.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present utility model provides an environmental protection cabinet circuit breaker, comprising a frame, on which a circuit breaker body and a grounding contact are provided, the circuit breaker body including a connecting contact, an isolating operating shaft rotatably provided on the frame, and an isolating knife swung on the frame, one end of the isolating knife being an assembly end and rotatably connected to the frame, and the other end being a contact end, the connecting contact and the grounding contact being arranged on the motion trajectory of the contact end of the isolating knife, a connecting flange being provided on the isolating operating shaft, the connecting flange being connected to the isolating knife by an arc-shaped transmission arm, one end of the transmission arm being rotatably connected to the connecting flange, and the other end being rotatably connected to the isolating knife.
[0005] The beneficial effect of this arrangement is that, compared to linear or complex transmission structures, the use of an arc-shaped transmission arm to connect the connecting flange and the isolating blade of the isolation operating shaft enables force and motion transmission within a smaller space, making the entire isolation operating structure more compact. This facilitates the integrated installation of environmental protection cabinet circuit breakers within limited cabinet space, meeting the requirements of miniaturization of environmental protection cabinets. When the isolation operating shaft rotates, the transmission arm is driven by the connecting flange, which in turn drives the isolating blade to swing. The arc-shaped transmission arm can effectively disperse stress during transmission, reducing wear and deformation between components, ensuring smooth force transmission during operation, and enabling the isolating blade to accurately contact and separate with the connecting contact or grounding contact according to a predetermined trajectory, thereby improving the reliability of the opening and closing operations.

At the same time, the elastic compression structure can compensate for the wear gap caused by long-term rotation, buffer the mechanical vibration during operation, and ensure contact stability.

[0012] As a further configuration of the present invention, a clamping screw is also provided on the two cutting heads, and a clamping spring is in contact between the head of the clamping screw and the side wall of one of the cutting heads. The other end of the clamping screw is threadedly fitted with a fastening screw, and the fastening screw is pressed against the side wall of the other cutting head.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this setting are: with this setting, the tightening spring forms an elastic pre-tightening force between the screw head and the blade head, which can automatically compensate for the gap caused by wear of the blade head due to long-term use or thermal expansion and contraction, and continuously ensure the clamping force of the matching slot on the contact to avoid loose contact; the fastening screw accurately adjusts the distance between the two blade heads through thread matching, adapts to contacts of different thicknesses, and improves the versatility of the structure; the elastic clamping method can buffer the mechanical impact of opening and closing operations, reduce contact wear, reduce contact resistance fluctuations, ensure stable current conduction, and effectively improve the connection reliability and service life of the environmental protection cabinet circuit breaker under frequent operation and complex working conditions.
[0014] As a further configuration of the present invention, the connecting contact and the grounding contact are respectively provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion is connected to the edge of the connecting contact or the edge of the grounding contact via a smooth inclined surface.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this arrangement are as follows: With this arrangement, the ridges can form a precise fit with the mating grooves of the isolating blades, increasing contact pressure and effective contact area, reducing contact resistance, reducing heat loss, ensuring stable current conduction, and avoiding poor contact due to vibration or slight displacement; the smooth bevel guides the isolating blades along the bevel to smoothly slide into or out of the ridges during opening and closing, reducing mechanical jamming and impact wear, lowering operational resistance, and improving operational reliability. Furthermore, the bevel transition disperses the electric field strength, avoiding insulation aging caused by localized electric field concentration and extending the service life of the contacts; the ridge structure enhances the mechanical strength of the contacts, allowing them to better withstand clamping force and short-circuit current shocks, adapting to the long-term and stable operation of environmentally friendly cabinet circuit breakers under complex working conditions.
[0016] As a further configuration of the present invention, the frame is provided with an arc isolation plate between the grounding contact and the connecting contact.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this setting are: it can effectively prevent the arc generated during opening and closing from spreading to the surrounding area, avoid the arc from causing burning damage to adjacent contacts or insulating components, and reduce the risk of insulation aging; at the same time, it can reduce the leakage of arc energy, prevent the arc from causing ionization of the gas inside the cabinet or excessive temperature rise, and improve arc extinguishing efficiency and operational safety.
