BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of embodiment 1;

[0013] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of embodiment 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Example 1

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, a circuit breaker quick tripping system includes a power supply device, a drive device and a tripping device. The power supply device includes a thyristor 23, a capacitor 22 and a power supply 21 arranged in parallel. The thyristor 23 is arranged to be connected to the positive pole of the capacitor 22 and the power supply 21; the drive device is installed on the circuit breaker and is connected to the negative pole of the thyristor 23 and the capacitor 22; the tripping device is installed on the circuit breaker and is arranged opposite to the drive device. The drive device is used to drive the tripping device to open.

[0017] The eddy current device includes an eddy current striker 11, an eddy current metal disc 12, an eddy current seat 14 and an eddy current coil 13. The eddy current striker 11 is installed on the eddy current metal disc 12. The eddy current metal disc 12 and the eddy current coil 13 are arranged opposite each other. The eddy current coil 13 is fixed on the eddy current seat 14. The eddy current seat 14 is fixed on the circuit breaker and arranged horizontally. The eddy current striker 11 is movably inserted into the eddy current coil 13 and the eddy current seat 14 and arranged vertically. A limiting ring is provided at the bottom of the eddy current striker 11. The limiting ring is stuck at the bottom of the eddy current seat 14 to limit the position where the eddy current striker 11 extends. The eddy current coil 13 is connected to the negative pole of the thyristor 23 and the capacitor 22 respectively.

[0018] The thyristor 23 is arranged between the positive electrode and the eddy current coil 13, which can improve the opening time of the circuit breaker and shorten the opening time to 5-10ms.

[0019] The tripping device includes a limit shaft 31, a striker plate 312, a stopper 32, a positioning shaft 36, a limit crank arm 34, a limit rod 35, a connecting crank arm 37, an upper connecting shaft 391, a connecting piece 38, a lower connecting shaft 392, a main crank arm 4, and a tripping spring 30. The limit shaft 31 is rotatably mounted on the circuit breaker and is provided with a release slot 311. The limit shaft 31 is equipped with a striker plate 312, which is located above the eddy current striker. The stopper 32 is rotatably mounted on the circuit breaker and has a stopper arm 321 at one end and a stopper arm 321 at the other end, which is rotatably connected to the limit plate 33. The stopper arm 321 is movably supported against the limit shaft 31 and is arranged opposite to the release slot 311 on the limit shaft 31. When the limit shaft 31 rotates, the stopper arm 321 enters the release slot 311, allowing the stopper 32 to rotate freely. The positioning shaft 36 is rotatably mounted on the circuit breaker and is respectively connected to one end of the limiting crank arm 34 and the connecting crank arm 37. The other end of the limiting crank arm 34 is equipped with a limiting rod 35, which movably abuts against the limiting plate 33. The other end of the connecting crank arm 37 is connected to the upper connecting shaft 391, which is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting plate 38. The other end of the connecting plate 38 is rotatably connected to one end of the main crank arm 4 via the lower connecting shaft 392. The main crank arm 4 is rotatably mounted on the circuit breaker via the crank arm shaft 41. The other end of the main crank arm 4 is rotatably connected to the insulating pull rod 51, which is connected to the vacuum switch 5. The two ends of the trip spring 30 are respectively connected to the main crank arm 4 and the circuit breaker, and are located between the crank arm shaft 41 and the lower connecting shaft 392.

[0020] When the switch is closed, the opening spring 30 is in a stretched state, the connecting piece 38 is pushed upward, the connecting piece 38, the connecting arm 37, the limiting arm 34, the limiting plate 33, the block 32 and the limiting shaft 31 are in a balanced state and are all subjected to an upward force.

[0021] When the thyristor 23 is in the non-conducting state, no current flows through the eddy current coil 13, and the eddy current metal disk 12 is pressed downward on the eddy current coil 13 by gravity; when the thyristor 23 is opened, the capacitor 22, the thyristor 23 and the eddy current coil 13 form a discharge circuit, and the pulse current flowing through the eddy current coil 13 generates a repulsive force on the eddy current metal disk 12, which pushes the eddy current metal disk 12. The eddy current metal disk 12 drives the eddy current striker 11 to strike the striker plate 312 upward, and the striker plate 312 The limit shaft 31 is driven to rotate. When the release slot 311 rotates to be opposite to the stop arm 321, the limit plate 33 pushes the stop block 32 to rotate, and the stop arm 321 enters the release slot 311. The limit plate 33 moves upward, and the limit crank arm 34, the connecting crank arm 37 and the connecting piece 38 all rotate upward. There is no resistance above the main crank arm 4. The main crank arm 4 rotates around the crank arm shaft 41 under the action of the opening spring 30, driving the insulating pull rod 51 to move downward, thereby realizing the opening of the vacuum switch 5.

[0022] The response time of the thyristor 23 is extremely short, with almost no delay, which makes the circuit breaker trip faster. Using capacitor 22 to store energy can accurately increase the voltage of the drive power supply 21, thereby increasing the eddy current repulsion force and making the circuit breaker trip faster.

[0023] The above measures can reduce the opening time of conventional circuit breakers. The faster the opening, the faster the fault can be cleared when a short circuit fault occurs in the power system, which has high economic benefits.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the driving device includes an electromagnet, and the electromagnet includes an electromagnetic striker 72, an electromagnetic seat 71, an electromagnetic coil 73 and an electromagnetic spring 74. The electromagnetic seat 71 is fixed on the circuit breaker, and the electromagnetic striker 72 is movably inserted into the electromagnetic seat 71 and is arranged opposite to the tripping device; the electromagnetic coil 73 is installed on the electromagnetic seat 71, and the electromagnetic coil 73 is respectively connected to the negative pole of the thyristor 23 and the capacitor 22, and the electromagnetic striker 72 is also movably inserted into the electromagnetic coil 73; the electromagnetic spring 74 is movably inserted into the electromagnetic striker 72, and the two ends of the electromagnetic spring 74 are respectively against the electromagnetic striker 72 and the electromagnetic seat 71.

[0026] The response time of the thyristor 23 is extremely short, with almost no delay, which makes the circuit breaker trip faster. Using capacitor 22 to store energy can accurately increase the voltage of the drive power supply 21, making the electromagnetic repulsion greater, and thus making the circuit breaker trip faster.

These descriptions are intended solely to illustrate the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art will be able to devise other specific embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort, and such embodiments will fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
