Description

Technical Field

[0002] The circuit breaker base primarily provides a stable mounting foundation for the circuit breaker, ensuring it remains firmly in place during operation. Some circuit breaker bases are typically equipped with conductive components that connect the circuit breaker to external circuits to transmit current. Furthermore, the circuit breaker base is typically made of insulating material, providing excellent insulation. However, large currents often flow through the interior of the circuit breaker, causing the temperature to rise. Especially in hot weather, the temperature can easily reach its maximum limit, causing the circuit breaker to trip. Furthermore, conductive plates or terminals are typically connected to the wiring terminals of the conductors, but the base lacks a corresponding fixing structure. Soldering or other forms of connection are required to connect the conductors, making this less practical.

[0003] Therefore, a molded case circuit breaker base assembly and the circuit breaker are designed to improve the above technical defects. Utility Model Content

[0024] This specific embodiment is a molded case circuit breaker base assembly, and its structural diagram is as follows Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1 and a circuit breaker body 2. The circuit breaker body 2 is assembled on the mounting base 1. The side wall of the mounting base 1 is equipped with several electrode sheets 3. The side walls of the electrode sheets 3 are all provided with circular holes. The circular holes are all provided with connecting components. The inner cavity of the mounting base 1 is provided with a cooling component.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a screw 4 arranged in a circular hole, and the end faces of the screw 4 are fixedly connected to a number of expansion blocks 5, which are distributed in a ring array. A nut 6 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the screw 4, and a threaded sleeve 7 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the screw 4 located on one side of the expansion block 5. The end face of the threaded sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to a tapered cylinder 8, and the tapered cylinder 8 is against the side wall of the expansion block 5.

[0026] The copper wires and terminal blocks can be stably connected according to the type of external wires to avoid arcing or poor contact caused by wire shaking during operation, thereby improving the stability of the wiring. Furthermore, a wire with multiple thin copper wires can be wrapped between the threaded sleeve 7 and the electrode sheet 3 and fixed by squeezing force.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the conical barrel 8 is provided with two annular grooves, in which a number of balls 9 are mounted. The balls 9 are pressed against the expansion block 5. The provision of the balls 9 reduces the friction between the conical barrel 8 and the expansion block 5, allowing the expansion block 5 to be quickly squeezed inward, thereby securing the terminal.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooling assembly includes a heat sink 10 mounted on the left and right inner walls of the mounting base 1. Several air holes 11 are provided on the side walls of the mounting base 1, located near the heat sink 10. A transformer module 12 is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting base 1. Several guide plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 1 near the heat sink 10. The installation of the heat sink 10 within the mounting base 1 allows for rapid air flow within the mounting base 1. This airflow removes heat generated by the circuit breaker body 2 and heat within the mounting base 1, achieving efficient cooling.

[0029] The transformer module 12 is a mature existing technology, and its principle can be found in the transformer principle of a mobile phone charger, which will not be described in detail in this solution.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide plates 13 are all arranged in an inclined distribution. By arranging them in an inclined distribution, when the airflow enters the interior of the mounting base 1, the airflow can be dispersed, increasing the flow area of ​​the airflow and the components inside the mounting base 1, and further improving the cooling effect.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right side walls of the mounting base 1 are respectively equipped with dust screens 14 at the positions of the air holes 11. The dust screens 14 can filter the dust impurities contained in the air flow entering and exiting the mounting base 1, reducing the residue and accumulation of dust inside the mounting base 1.

[0032] A circuit breaker adopts any one of the above molded case circuit breaker base components.

[0033] Working principle: When it is necessary to connect the external wire to the electrode sheet 3, different installation positions can be selected according to the wire type. When the wire is connected to a ring terminal, the nut 6 can be loosened to remove the screw 4, and then the ring terminal can be sleeved on the screw 4. The screw 4 is inserted into the round hole and the nut 6 is tightened to achieve the connection of the ring terminal. When the terminal is cylindrical, it can be inserted between the expansion blocks 5, and the threaded sleeve 7 is rotated to drive the tapered cylinder 8 to move. The tapered cylinder 8 is used to squeeze the expansion block 5 to achieve the tightening and fixation of the cylindrical terminal.

[0034] When the circuit breaker body 2 generates heat during operation, the radiator 10 can be operated synchronously. The radiator 10 guides the external airflow into the interior of the mounting base 1, so that the airflow is discharged from the other side of the mounting base 1. At the same time, with the setting of the guide plate 13, the airflow can be dispersed when entering the interior of the mounting base 1, thereby increasing the flow area of ​​the airflow and improving the cooling effect.

[0035] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0036] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
