[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the first micro switch 24 is provided with a first switch key 241, and the second micro switch 25 is provided with a second switch key 251 on one side. The first switch key 241 and the second switch key 251 are within the movable range of the rocker 26; the mechanism 13 is provided with a buckle plate 131 and a second rotating shaft 132; the second rotating shaft 132 passes through the mechanism 13 and the buckle plate 131, and the buckle plate 131 and the mechanism 13 are connected by a first torsion spring 133; the mechanism 13 is provided with a lock 134 and a third Rotating shaft 135; the third rotating shaft 135 passes through the mechanism 13 and the lock catch 134, and the lock catch 134 and the mechanism 13 are connected via a second torsion spring 136; a dynamic contact 161 is provided on the first rotating shaft 16; one side of the rocker arm 26 is located within the movable range of the first rotating shaft 16; an armature 18 is provided on one side of the shunt coil 11, and the armature 18 engages the rotating member 12; a spring 141 is provided between the handle 14 and the lower connecting rod 15, and one side of the spring 141 passes through the lever 17 and abuts the handle 14. The dynamic contact 161 is provided with a limiter 19 near the first rotating shaft 16, and the limiter 19 engages the dynamic contact 161; a traction rod 20 is provided on one side of the rotating member 12; the rotating member 12 can abut the traction rod 20 when it rotates.
[0032] When the product is in the open state, the upper end of the rocker 26 abuts against the first switch key 241, and the first switch key 241 is in the pressed state; when the handle 14 is toggled to the closed position, the mechanism 13 drives the first rotating shaft 16 to flip through the lower connecting rod 15 until the first rotating shaft 16 and the dynamic contact 161 are in the closed state. At this time, the first rotating shaft 16 abuts against one side of the rocker 26, and the rocker 26 swings away from the first micro switch 24. At this time, the first switch key 241 is in the pop-up state; when the product is in the closed state In the engaged state, the first rotating shaft 16 abuts against the lower end of the rocker rod 26, and the rocker rod 26 swings away from the second microswitch 25. At this time, the second switch key 251 is in the pop-up state. When the second microswitch 25 is energized, the armature 18 moves upward, thereby driving the rotating member 12 to rotate. One end of the rotating member 12 abuts against the flipped traction rod 20. At this time, the first rotating shaft 16 flips away from the rocker rod 26. The rocker rod 26 abuts against the first microswitch 24 and the second microswitch 25 under the torsional force of the third torsion spring 261.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] 1. When the product is in the free trip and opening state (ON position), the upper end of the rocker 26 abuts against the first switch key 241. At this time, the first switch key 241 is in the downward state, and the lead wires F11 and F12 are connected.
[0035] 2. When the handle 14 is turned to the closed position (OFF position), the mechanism 13 drives the first rotating shaft 16 to flip through the lower connecting rod 15 until the first rotating shaft 16 and the movable contact 161 are in the closed state. At this time, the protrusion on the first rotating shaft 16 abuts the lower end of the rocker 26. After the rocker 26 swings, the upper end leaves the first microswitch 24. At this time, the first switch key 241 is in the pop-up state, and the lead wires F11 and F14 are connected.
[0036] 3. When the product is in the closed state (OFF position), the protrusion on the first rotating shaft 16 abuts against the lower end of the rocker 26, and the rocker 26 swings away from the second microswitch 25. At this time, the second switch key 251 is in the pop-up state. At this time, 220V is energized to the lead wires A1 and A2 of the second microswitch 25. At this time, the shunt coil 11 is energized to generate a magnetic field force, which attracts the armature 18 to move upward, and the rotating part 12 will be forced to rotate. One end of the rotating part 12 flips the traction rod 20, causing the mechanism to trip, thereby tripping the product. At this time, the first rotating shaft 16 will flip upward, and the first rotating shaft 16 will naturally leave the rocker 26. Under the torsional force of the third torsion spring 261, the upper end of the rocker 26 abuts against the first microswitch 24 and the second microswitch 25. At this time, the shunt coil 11 will lose power and the armature 18 will return to its original state.
[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
