[0002] Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) consist of multiple poles (also called phases), which are linked by a metal shaft that runs through each pole. This method of transmission is problematic in that the electrical gap between the poles is small, increasing leakage current, which can affect the proper operation of the MCCB. Utility Model Content

[0032] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] This embodiment provides an inter-pole transmission structure, as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 Shown, including:
[0035] The operating mechanism includes a lower connecting rod 11, and the operating mechanism here also includes an upper connecting rod and a main tension spring. The external driving force will cause the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod 11 to rotate. Due to the cooperation between the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod 11, and under the action of the main tension spring, a rotation output of the lower connecting rod 11 is formed. This is a prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The lower connecting rod 11 cooperates with the dynamic contact component to form the effect of opening and closing the switch.
[0036] The movable contact assembly includes two cover plates 12, which are disposed on either side of the movable contact assembly. It should be noted that one movable contact assembly corresponds to one pole. The number of movable contact assemblies can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the number of movable contact assemblies is described as three, and the structure of each movable contact assembly is consistent.
[0037] The lower end of the lower connecting rod 11 is linked to the transmission wheel 13. One side of the transmission wheel 13 is linked to the cover plate 12, and the other side of the transmission wheel 13 is linked to the cover plate 12 of the adjacent moving contact assembly. That is, one transmission wheel 13 and one lower connecting rod 11 work together to form a linkage effect between two adjacent moving contact assemblies. When there are three moving contact assemblies, there are two transmission wheels 13 and two lower connecting rods 11 each, and one transmission wheel 13 and one lower connecting rod 11 form a set. Similarly, when there are two moving contact assemblies, only one transmission wheel 13 and one lower connecting rod 11 are required. The lower connecting rod 11 of the operating mechanism acts on the transmission wheel 13. Through the cooperation of the transmission wheel 13 and the cover plate 12, the rotation of the transmission wheel 13 drives the moving contact assembly, completing the opening and closing of the circuit breaker. Compared with the original transmission method in which a metal shaft extends between each pole, this method increases the inter-pole electrical gap and significantly reduces inter-pole leakage current.
[0038] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the lower connecting rod 11 also includes a pin 14. A through-hole 111 is provided in the lower end of the lower connecting rod 11, that is, the end away from the entire operating mechanism. Pin 14 passes through through-hole 111 and secures it to the transmission wheel 13. Using pin 14 for securement is simple and reliable. Alternatively, rivets or snap-fit connections can be used.
[0039] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3As shown, the transmission wheel 13 is provided with a fixing groove 131, and the fixing groove 131 is arranged inside the transmission wheel 13. In this embodiment, the fixing groove 131 is open upward, so that the lower connecting rod 11 extends to the fixing groove 131, forming a positioning and fixing effect of the lower connecting rod 11, and then the transmission wheel 13 and the lower connecting rod 11 are connected and fixed by the pin shaft 14.
[0040] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a reinforcing rib 132 is provided in the transmission wheel 13, and the reinforcing rib 132 is provided on one side of the fixing groove 131, and the pin 14 passes through the reinforcing rib 132. The provision of the reinforcing rib 132 further improves the strength of the fixation.
[0041] Specifically, the imaginary central axis of the pin 14 is not collinear with the imaginary central axis of the transmission wheel 13. The eccentric arrangement of the pin 14 reduces driving force, making it easier to drive. In this embodiment, the center distance between the pin 14 and the transmission wheel 13 can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring the fit between the pin 14 and the transmission wheel 13 is strong enough to prevent the risk of breakage under rotational forces, while also ensuring easier rotation.
[0042] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the operating mechanism also includes a linkage shaft 15. There are two or more lower links 11, and the linkage shaft 15 passes through the lower links 11, creating a linkage effect between the lower links 11. This creates a linkage effect between the two or more lower links 11, achieving synchronization and consistency. In this embodiment, the number of lower links 11 is two, and the linkage shaft 15 cooperates with the two lower links 11 to form an inverted U-shaped structure.
[0043] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, one of the transmission wheel 13 and the cover plate 12 is provided with a first protrusion 16, and the other of the transmission wheel 13 and the cover plate 12 is provided with a first through hole 17 that cooperates with the first protrusion 16. The first protrusion 16 cooperates with the first through hole 17 to form a linkage effect between the transmission wheel 13 and the cover plate 12. The number of the first protrusions 16 here can be adjusted according to actual needs. When the number of the first protrusions 16 is two or more, the first protrusions 16 can be distributed in a circular array. In this embodiment, the first protrusions 16 are described as four as an example, and the four first protrusions 16 are distributed in a circular array. In this embodiment, the cover plate 12 is provided with four first protrusions 16 on the side facing the transmission wheel 13, and the transmission wheel 13 is provided with four corresponding first through holes 17 on the side facing the cover plate 12. The first protrusion 16 is cylindrical. The two side surfaces of the transmission wheel 13 are symmetrically arranged, that is, the structures of the two side surfaces are consistent.
[0044] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3As shown, the dynamic contact assembly includes a dynamic contact body 18. One of the dynamic contact body 18 and the cover plate 12 is provided with a second protrusion 19, and the other of the dynamic contact body 18 and the cover plate 12 is provided with a second through-hole 20 that cooperates with the second protrusion 19. The second protrusion 19 cooperates with the second through-hole 20 to form a linkage effect between the dynamic contact body 18 and the cover plate 12. The number of second protrusions 19 here can be adjusted according to actual needs. When there are two or more second protrusions 19, the second protrusions 19 can be distributed in a circular array. In this embodiment, two second protrusions 19 are provided on the side of the cover plate 12 facing the dynamic contact body 18. The two second protrusions 19 are distributed in a circular array, and the dynamic contact body 18 is provided with two second through-holes 20. The second protrusions 19 are square or irregular in shape.
[0045] Specifically, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the movable contact body 18 is fixed with two movable contacts 21, which are facing in opposite directions. In addition, the movable contact body 18 is also provided with an energy storage component 22 for applying contact pressure, thereby increasing the contact pressure of the movable contacts 21.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
