The moving contact is connected to the rotating shaft via a first elastic component. The secondary terminal assembly includes multiple terminals, which are connected to the terminals via a conductive structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the normally open stationary contact includes a first stationary contact piece, and the normally closed stationary contact includes a second stationary contact piece. The first stationary contact piece and the second stationary contact piece are spaced apart and arranged opposite to each other.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0049] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a frame-type circuit breaker. The frame-type circuit breaker includes an operating mechanism, active contacts (not shown), and main stationary contacts (not shown) disposed within the circuit breaker housing. The operating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 6 with multiple cantilever arms 62 mounted on it. The cantilever arms 62 are connected to the active contacts. The rotation of the rotating shaft 6 drives the active contacts to rotate and close or open with the main stationary contacts. The frame-type circuit breaker also includes an overload protection mechanism, an undervoltage protection mechanism, etc. The operating mechanism further includes an energy storage mechanism and a linkage mechanism. Energy is first stored in the energy storage mechanism of the operating mechanism, and then the release of energy from the energy storage mechanism drives the linkage mechanism to rotate the rotating shaft 6, thereby causing the active contacts to close. This is prior art in this field.

[0050] An improvement of the frame-type circuit breaker in this embodiment is that it also includes an integrated module 3 for auxiliary contacts and secondary terminals. The integrated module 3 for auxiliary contacts and secondary terminals is detachably mounted on the circuit breaker housing, which includes a bracket 1.

The moving contact 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 6 through a first elastic member 61. The secondary terminal assembly 32 includes multiple wiring terminals 7 for connecting external wires. The contact assembly 31 and the wiring terminals 7 are connected through a conductive structure 8. When the rotating shaft 6 rotates and drives the active contact to close or separate from the main stationary contact, it simultaneously applies a pulling force to the first elastic member 61. The first elastic member 61 drives the moving contact 5 to move, causing the moving contact 5 to close or separate from the stationary contact 4, thereby realizing the on / off state of the wiring terminal 7. This is used to indicate the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker, participate in interlocking control, and provide remote signal transmission, among other functions.

It does not require the use of microswitches to transmit signals, is compact in size, facilitates miniaturization design, and is easy to install and use. It can be detachably installed on the bracket 1 as needed. At the same time, the rotating shaft 6 drives the moving contact 5 through the first elastic component 61, which has high adaptability and can also avoid damage to the integrated module 3 of auxiliary contact and secondary terminal by rapid rotation of the rotating shaft 6.

[0061] The second embodiment provided in this application, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the normally closed stationary contact 42 includes a second stationary contact piece 422, and the normally open stationary contact 41 includes a first stationary contact piece 421.

When the moving contact piece 51 is closed with the first stationary contact piece 421, the first terminal contact piece 711 and the third terminal contact piece 713 are energized.

[0062] The third embodiment provided in this application, such as Figure 10 , 11As shown, the normally closed stationary contact 42 includes a second stationary contact piece 422 and a third stationary contact piece 423 spaced apart from the second stationary contact piece 422; the normally open stationary contact 41 is spaced below the normally closed stationary contact 42, and the normally open stationary contact 41 includes a first stationary contact piece 421 opposite to the second stationary contact piece 422 and a fourth stationary contact piece 424 opposite to the third stationary contact piece 423; a first gap is provided between the second stationary contact piece 422 and the third stationary contact piece 423, and a second gap is provided between the first stationary contact piece 421 and the fourth stationary contact piece 424. A connecting channel is provided between the first gap and the second gap, and the push rod 52 is provided in the connecting channel, and the push rod 52 moves up and down in the connecting channel. This causes the moving contact 51 to separate or close from the normally closed stationary contact 42 and the normally open stationary contact 41.

[0063] In summary, as described in Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, this utility model utilizes different connections between the terminal block 7 and the various components of the contact assembly 31 to achieve different power-on and power-off effects, thus meeting the diverse functional needs of customers.

The closing or separating of the stationary contacts 425 and the moving contacts 513 realizes the closing or separating of the moving contact piece 51 from the normally open stationary contact 41 and the normally closed stationary contact 42. Of course, it is also possible to determine whether to provide a moving contact 513 on the moving contact piece 51, depending on the situation. For example, as described in Embodiment 2, the second moving contact piece 512 of the moving contact piece 51 is not provided with a moving contact 513.
