[0037] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features being referred to. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediary. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature.

Example

[0040] like Figure 1-11 As shown, an embodiment of the present application is a leakage circuit breaker, which includes an upper shell 100, a lower shell 200 and a leakage circuit breaker assembly arranged in the upper and lower shells 100, 200.

[0041] The upper housing 100 and the lower housing 200 are fastened together by bolts, forming a space inside, and the circuit breaker assembly is disposed in the space. Of course, in addition to bolt fastening, the upper housing 100 and the lower housing 200 can also be fastened by rivets or clamping, or a combination of these fastening methods.

[0042] Leakage circuit breaker components, including contact system, operating mechanism, arc extinguishing system, terminal blocks, zero-sequence transformer, circuit board and test button 300, etc.

[0043] The contact system includes a rotating shaft 400, a moving contact, a static contact and other components. The rotating shaft 400 is rotatably connected to the lower shell 200. The moving contact is arranged on the rotating shaft 400 and moves with the rotating shaft 400. The static contact is adapted to the moving contact. As the rotating shaft 400 rotates, the moving and static contacts contact and separate, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection of the circuit breaker.

[0044] The operating mechanism includes a mechanism side plate 500 and a mechanism assembly mounted within the mechanism side plate 500. The mechanism side plate 500 is fixed to the lower housing 200. The mechanism assembly is linked to the rotating shaft 400, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 400 is achieved through the mechanism assembly. The specific structure of the mechanism assembly is conventional in the art and will not be further described here.

[0045] The arc extinguishing system is arranged near the moving and static contacts and is used to extinguish the arc generated when the moving and static contacts are separated.

[0046] The circuit board contains a leakage protection circuit and a leakage test circuit. A zero-sequence transformer serves as the sampling element for the leakage protection circuit, collecting current parameters. The leakage protection circuit uses this current parameter to determine whether leakage current exists in the circuit. If so, the leakage protection circuit's trip device activates, causing the operating mechanism to trip.

[0047] The leakage test circuit includes a normally open circuit breaker, a test resistor, etc. When the normally open circuit breaker is closed, a simulated leakage current is generated. The zero-sequence transformer can sample the simulated leakage current, causing the trip unit to actuate, causing the operating mechanism to trip.

[0048] The above-mentioned leakage protection circuit and leakage test circuit are common knowledge in terms of circuit structure, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] The mechanical structure of the leakage test circuit is the inventive point of this application and is described in detail below.

[0050] The upper surface of the upper shell 100 has a sunken installation groove 101, and a first through hole 102 is opened at the bottom of the installation groove 101. The first through hole 102 has an upper opening 102a at the bottom of the installation groove 101 and a lower opening 102b on the inner wall of the upper shell 100.

[0051] The test button 300 is arranged to slide vertically, and comprises a button portion 301 , a penetration portion 302 and a trigger portion 303 from top to bottom.

[0052] The button portion 301 is located in the mounting groove 101, and a return spring 304 is disposed between the button portion 301 and the bottom of the mounting groove 101. This allows the top surface of the button portion to be exposed on the top surface of the upper housing 100, allowing the user to manipulate the button portion 301. The return spring 304 resets the button portion 301 after the manipulation force is removed.

[0053] The penetration portion 302 is provided with two elastic undercuts 305, which are symmetrically arranged. During installation, the test button 300 is inserted into the mounting slot 101, and the trigger portion 303 and the penetration portion 302 are sequentially inserted into the first through hole 102. As the elastic undercut 305 abuts against the upper opening 102a, it begins to contract. As the penetration portion 302 continues to penetrate until the elastic undercut 305 exits the lower opening 102b, the elastic undercut 305 returns to rest against the inner wall of the upper housing 100 at the lower opening 102b. This abutment does not affect the downward movement of the test button 300 (normal pressing of the test button 300), but only prevents the test button 300 from falling off the upper housing 100. This elastic snap arrangement effectively improves the stability of the test button 300.

[0054] The leakage test circuit includes a test resistor, a conductive spring 601, and a conductive plate 602. The conductive plate 602 is mounted on the rotating shaft 400 (electrically connected to the movable contact), while the test resistor is housed within the lower housing 200. One end of the conductive spring 601 is a fixed end 601a, which is welded (electrically connected) to the test resistor. The movable end 601b forms a normally open circuit with the conductive plate 602. The movable end 601b is located below the trigger unit 303. When the test button 300 is pressed, the trigger unit 303 moves toward the movable end 601b, bringing it into contact with the conductive plate 602.

[0055] Here, the triggering part 303 may directly push the movable end 601 b to make contact with the conductive sheet 602 , or may use other components to make the movable end 601 b make contact with the conductive sheet 602 .

[0056] In this embodiment, a trigger spring 603 is used to bring the movable end 601b into contact with the conductive sheet 602. Specifically, a spring mounting portion 303a is provided on the trigger portion 303. The upper end of the trigger spring 603 is sleeved onto the trigger portion 303, while the lower end of the trigger spring 603 abuts against the movable end 601b. This utilizes the trigger spring 603 to compensate for the size of the trigger portion 303. Furthermore, the trigger spring 603 can be compressed, reducing the impact force of the test button 300 on the movable end 601b and improving the structural life of the test circuit.

[0057] Here, the conductive spring 601 is mounted on a spring bracket 604. Specifically, the spring bracket 604 is fixed on one side of the mechanism side plate 500.

[0058] The conductive spring 601 includes a fixed end 601a, a connecting section 601c and a movable end 601b. The fixed end 601a is detachably fixed to the spring bracket 604, and the movable end 601b extends toward the bottom of the trigger portion 303. Here, the overall shape formed by these three parts is a "Z" shape. Here, a first angle is formed between the upper surface of the fixed end 601a and the upper surface of the connecting section 601c, and a second angle is formed between the lower surface of the connecting section 601c and the lower surface of the movable end 601b. The second angle is greater than the first angle, and the first angle and the second angle are both obtuse angles. Such a spring structure is very simple and the molding is relatively simple, and only two bends are required.

[0059] The spring bracket 604 includes a fixing portion 604a, a connecting portion 604c, and a guiding portion 604b. Here, the fixing portion 604a and the guiding portion 604b are connected via the connecting portion 604c.

[0060] A first positioning portion 6040 is formed on the fixing portion 604a. The first positioning portion 6040 is positioned toward the mechanism side plate 500 and is a raised portion. The mechanism side plate 500 has a second positioning portion, which is a through-hole. The first positioning portion 6040 and the second positioning portion form a fixed fit, ensuring that the spring bracket 604 is properly positioned and assembled with the mechanism side plate 500.

[0061] The fixing portion 604a also includes a bezel 604a1, which is formed by the first base portion 604a2 and the second base portion 604a3. The bezel 604a1 opens away from the mechanism bracket. The first base portion 604a2 is positioned above the second base portion 604a3. A latch 604a4 is defined on the first base portion 604a2. The fixing end 601a has an elastic latch arm 601a1, which engages with the latch 604a4 to prevent the fixing end 601a from separating from the spring bracket 604. Here, the elastic latch arm 601a1 is formed by cutting and bending a portion of the fixed end 601a. ​​The elastic latch arm 601a1 is arranged at an angle, specifically, gradually tilting upward from the interior of the engaging groove 604a1 toward the opening of the engaging groove 604a1. This allows the elastic latch arm 601a1 to be pushed into the engaging groove 604a1 during assembly (deformation of the elastic latch arm 601a1 occurs), until the end (the highest position) of the elastic latch arm 601a1 moves into the latch notch 604a4, forming a snap connection. Of course, the latch notch 604a4 can also be provided on the second base portion 604a3, with the shape of the elastic latch arm 601a1 being modified accordingly. This mounting structure of the engaging groove 604a1, elastic latch arm 601a1, and latch notch 604a4 is highly advantageous and facilitates the design and assembly of the conductive spring 601.

[0062] The guide portion 604b has an escape hole 604b1 formed therein. The guide portion 604b is located between the trigger portion 303 and the movable end 601b. The escape hole 604b1 allows the trigger spring 603 and the trigger portion 303 to slide through. The guide portion 604b has a sunken portion 604b2 surrounding the escape hole 604b1. The escape hole 604b1 is located at the lowest point of the sunken portion 604b2. This structure facilitates the passage of the trigger spring 603 and the trigger portion 303 through the escape hole 604b1.

[0063] The mechanism side plate 500 includes a clamping portion 5001, formed by bending a portion of the mechanism side plate 500 toward (i.e., in the second direction) the direction of the spring bracket 604. The guide portion 604b is provided with a clamping groove 604b0. During installation, the clamping portion 5001 engages the clamping groove 604b0 along the second direction. After installation, the clamping groove 604b0 and the clamping portion 5001 form a fixed position in the first direction (i.e., vertical direction) and the third direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. The cross-section of the clamping portion 5001 is U-shaped or L-shaped.

[0064] Such a design of the engaging groove 604b0 and the engaging portion 5001 can make the installation of the mechanism side plate 500 and the spring bracket 604 more stable.

[0065] The above structure is applicable to a 2P-4P structure leakage circuit breaker.
