[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0030] The present invention discloses a movable contact assembly of a miniature circuit breaker. Figure 1-3 , including a linkage piece 1 and a moving contact piece 2 riveted to each other, the linkage piece 1 and the moving contact piece 2 are in contact with each other, the linkage piece 1 and the moving contact piece 2 are both made of metal, and the linkage piece 1 is a double-layer structure.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 One end of the moving contact piece 2 is provided with a through hole 12 for connecting the circuit breaker connecting rod. The through hole 12 can be a round hole. One end of the connecting rod of the miniature circuit breaker is inserted on the handle and the other end is inserted in the through hole 12, so that when the handle is rotated, the linkage piece 1 can move accordingly, thereby causing the moving contact piece 2 to swing toward or away from the static contact piece to realize the on and off of the circuit. The connecting rod and other components in the miniature circuit breaker are common structures in the miniature circuit breaker and belong to the public technology, so no further details will be given here.
[0032] Reference Figure 2-4 A second connecting hole 22 is provided in the movable contact piece 2, and a first connecting hole 13 aligned with the second connecting hole 22 is provided in the linkage piece 1. A connecting column can be provided through the first connecting hole 13 of the linkage piece 1 and the second connecting hole 22 of the movable contact piece 2. The connecting column can connect the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2, wherein the first connecting hole 13 can be a circular hole, and the diameter of the first connecting hole 13 is smaller than the width of the second connecting hole 22, so that the connecting column can move in a small range on the movable contact piece 2, thereby realizing a small range of rotation between the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2.
[0033] Reference Figure 1-3 A pulling hole 23 for the tension detection equipment to pass through is opened at one end of the moving contact piece 2 away from the second connecting hole 22. The pulling hole 23 on the moving contact piece 2 can be used for the tension test hook of the tension detection equipment to pass through, so as to facilitate the tension detection of the product. According to the detected tension information, it can be judged whether the product meets the standard.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The moving contact piece 2 is integrally formed with widened portions 24 on both sides of one end close to the pulling hole 23. The widened portions 24 are integrally formed on both sides of one end of the moving contact piece 2, which is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the moving contact piece 2 and the static contact piece, and improving the stability of the moving contact assembly during operation.
[0035] Reference Figure 2-4 A welding spot 3 is integrally formed at one end of the moving contact piece 2, and a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the wire is opened in the welding spot 3. By arranging the welding spot 3 on the moving contact piece 2 and opening the receiving groove 31 for accommodating the wire on the welding spot 3, the wire can be positioned during welding, and the contact area between the wire and the moving contact piece 2 during welding is increased. After the welding spot 3 melts during welding, the welding area between the wire and the moving contact piece 2 can be increased, thereby improving the convenience and stability of wire welding.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4A first rivet hole 11 is provided in the linkage piece 1, and a second rivet hole 21 is provided in the movable contact piece 2. A rivet 4 is riveted between the first rivet hole 11 of the linkage piece 1 and the second rivet hole 21 of the movable contact piece 2. The rivet 4 can pass through both the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 to rivet the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2. After riveting, due to the connection of the rivet 4, the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2 can rotate relative to each other.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 A positioning mechanism is provided between the linkage piece 1 and the moving contact piece 2 for aligning the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 to facilitate riveting. A limiting hole 14 is provided in the end of the linkage piece 1 away from the through hole 12, and a slot 25 is provided on the side of the moving contact piece 2 close to the linkage piece 1. The first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 are quickly aligned by the positioning mechanism, which makes it convenient for the staff to quickly insert the rivet into the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 for riveting, which is convenient and quick.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 The positioning mechanism includes a limiting rod 5 movably arranged in the corresponding limiting hole 14, a rubber block 51 fixedly arranged at one end of the limiting rod 5 and engaged in the card slot 25, and a top block 52 fixedly arranged at the other end of the limiting rod 5 and abutting against the outer wall of the linkage piece 1. The rubber block 51 is spherical, and the diameter of the spherical rubber block 51 is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 4. The rubber block 51 is made of rubber and has elasticity and can be inserted into the card slot 25 of the moving contact piece 2.
[0039] By inserting the rubber card block 51 into the corresponding card slot 25 and cooperating with the abutment between the linkage piece 1 and the moving contact piece 2, the linkage piece 1 and the moving contact piece 2 can be temporarily fixed, and the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 can be quickly aligned, making it convenient for the staff to quickly insert the rivet into the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 for riveting.

After riveting, the staff can insert a fingernail into the notch 53 and pull the top block 52 vigorously to the side away from the linkage piece 1. At this time, the rubber block 51 will be shaped so that it can be separated from the rubber block 51 and the limiting hole 14, thereby pulling out the positioning mechanism composed of the rubber block 51, the limiting rod 5 and the top block 52 from the linkage piece 1 and the dynamic contact piece 2 as a whole. It can be reused many times, improve the utilization rate of resources, and reduce waste. The staff can use fluorescence to find the positioning mechanism composed of the top block 52 and other components in a darker setting.
[0041] The implementation principle of the movable contact assembly of a miniature circuit breaker in the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows:
[0042] During assembly, first assemble the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2, then press the top block 52 so that the rubber block 51 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 25. With the abutment of the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2, the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2 can be temporarily fixed, and the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 can be quickly aligned, making it easier for the staff to quickly insert the rivet into the first rivet hole 11 and the second rivet hole 21 to rivet the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2;
[0043] After riveting, the staff can insert a fingernail into the notch 53 and vigorously pull the top block 52 toward the side away from the linkage piece 1. At this time, the rubber block 51 will be shaped so that it can be separated from the rubber block 51 and the limiting hole 14. In this way, the positioning mechanism composed of the rubber block 51 and other components can be pulled out of the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2 as a whole for reuse.
[0044] Then, a connecting post is provided through the first connecting hole 13 of the linkage piece 1 and the second connecting hole 22 of the movable contact piece 2. The connecting post connects the linkage piece 1 and the movable contact piece 2, and the wire is placed in the receiving groove 31 of the solder joint 3. When the solder joint 3 melts during welding, the welding area between the wire and the movable contact piece 2 is increased, thereby improving the convenience and stability of wire welding.
[0045] Then one end of the connecting rod of the miniature circuit breaker is inserted into the handle and the other end is inserted into the through hole 12, so that when the handle is rotated, the linkage piece 1 can move accordingly, thereby causing the moving contact piece 2 to swing towards or away from the static contact piece to realize the on and off of the circuit.
