[0008] Furthermore, the limiting recess is a perforated structure that radially penetrates the head of the guide rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting recess is an annular groove structure provided at the position of the head of the guide rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the first seat body is a base structure, and the second seat body is a guide seat structure for connecting to the energy storage lever of the circuit breaker operating mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a supporting base plate, the first base body is configured to be rotatably connected to the supporting base plate, and the supporting base plate is plugged and fixed to the side plate of the circuit breaker operating mechanism through a plug-in fixed connection structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting protrusion is provided at the outer end of the first seat body, and a connecting hole corresponding to the connecting protrusion is opened on the support bottom plate.

When the energy storage spring assembly is to be installed in the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, pressure can be applied to the first seat body and the second seat body to make the two close together and thus compress the energy storage spring. Then, the end of the guide plug rod is locked in the socket portion by using the limit piece. In this way, the distance between the first seat body and the second seat body is locked, so that the energy storage spring is kept in a compressed state and a modular structure is formed. Then, the assembled entire energy storage spring assembly can be conveniently assembled into the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, and then the limit piece can be removed to release the compression lock of the spring for normal use.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5An embodiment of the present invention provides a circuit breaker energy storage spring assembly, including a first base body 1 and a second base body 2 arranged relatively to each other, an energy storage spring 3 is installed between the first base body 1 and the second base body 2, and a guide plug rod 11 is fixedly connected to the first base body 1, and a socket portion 21 is provided on the second base body 2. The guide plug rod 11 is at least partially adapted to be inserted into the socket portion 21, and a limit member 4 is provided on the second base body 2, which can form a limiting fit with the guide plug rod 11 to lock the fitting distance between the first base body 1 and the second base body 2 or release the limiting fit to release the fitting distance between the first base body 1 and the second base body 2. It can be understood that in this embodiment, a socket portion 21 and a guide rod 11 that cooperate with each other are provided between the first seat body 1 and the second seat body 2, and a limit member 4 is provided on the second seat body 2, and the energy storage spring 3 is sleeved on the guide rod 11. When the energy storage spring assembly is to be installed in the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, pressure can be applied to the first seat body 1 and the second seat body 2 to make the two close together and thus compress the energy storage spring 3. Then, the end of the guide rod 11 is locked in the socket portion 21 using the limit member 4. In this way, the distance between the first seat body 1 and the second seat body 2 is locked, so that the energy storage spring 3 is kept in a compressed state and a modular structure is formed. Then, the entire assembled energy storage spring assembly can be conveniently assembled into the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, and then the limit member 4 is removed to release the compression lock of the spring for normal use. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to apply force to compress the spring while fixing the support base plate. Its installation is quick and convenient, and the assembly efficiency is high. In actual applications, when the spring needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to reuse the limiting member 4 and the guide rod 11 to form a limiting fit to lock the fitting distance between the first base body 1 and the second base body 2.

[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3 In one preferred embodiment, when the stopper 4 on the second base 2 engages the guide rod 11, the spacing between the first and second bases 1 and 2 is locked, and the energy storage spring 3 is compressed by the first and second bases 1 and 2, forming a stored energy state. In this embodiment, the energy storage spring assembly has a pre-compressed, locked state, facilitating subsequent maintenance, disassembly, and installation, significantly improving on-site maintenance efficiency and quality.

[0030] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3In one preferred embodiment, a limiting recess 111 is defined at the head of the guide rod 11, and a connecting hole 22 radially connected to the receptacle portion 21 is defined in the second base 2. The limiting member 4 is a limiting pin structure, and the limiting member 4 is adaptively inserted into the connecting hole 22 to form a limiting fit with the limiting recess 111 of the guide rod 11, thereby preventing the guide rod 11 from being inserted into the receptacle portion 21 and locking the fitting distance between the first base 1 and the second base 2. In this embodiment, the limiting recess 111 is preferably a perforated structure that radially penetrates the head of the guide rod 11. It can be understood that in this embodiment, by designing the limiting recess 111 as a perforated structure that passes through the head of the guide rod 11, when it cooperates with the limiting pin, a stable and high-strength limiting cooperation effect can be produced. In this way, the cooperation distance between the first seat body 1 and the second seat body 2 can be more firmly locked, effectively avoiding the problem of failure of the locking state between the first seat body 1 and the second seat body 2 due to unstable locking of the limiting member 4 when installing the energy storage spring assembly, and ensuring the operational safety during the installation of the energy storage spring assembly.

[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 In one preferred embodiment, the first seat body 1 is a base structure, and the second seat body 2 is a guide seat structure for connecting to the energy storage lever 6 of the circuit breaker operating mechanism.

[0032] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 In one preferred embodiment, the first base 1 is further configured to be rotatably connected to the support base 5. The support base 5 is also plug-fastened to the side panels of the circuit breaker operating mechanism via a plug-fastening structure. In this embodiment, the support base 5 is plug-fastened to the side panels of the circuit breaker operating mechanism via a plug-fastening structure. Compared to existing structures that use bolts to secure the support base, this embodiment provides a faster and simpler installation process, eliminating the need for bolt alignment and locking, and reducing the number of components, thereby improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 To the attached Figure 5 In one preferred embodiment, a connecting protrusion 12 is provided at the outer end of the first base body 1, and a connecting hole 51 corresponding to the connecting protrusion 12 is opened on the supporting base plate 5.

[0034] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a circuit breaker, comprising a circuit breaker operating mechanism and a circuit breaker energy storage spring assembly according to any of the above embodiments, wherein oppositely arranged plug-in slots 71 are provided on two side plates 7 of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, and the two ends of the support base plate 5 are respectively plugged into corresponding plug-in slots 71 on the two side plates 7.

[0035] Please refer to the attached Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 In one preferred embodiment, a reinforcing rib 52 is formed on the supporting base plate 5 and is adapted to the distance between the two side plates 7 of the operating mechanism, and both ends of the reinforcing rib 52 are respectively in contact with the inner side walls of the two side plates 7.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Please refer to the attached Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the limiting recess 111 is an annular groove structure provided at the head position of the guide rod 11 .
