DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in connection with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the utility model, but not all. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0021] The utility model discloses a circuit breaker unit and a circuit breaker. Figures 1 to 5 The circuit breaker unit 1 comprises a shell 12, an incoming terminal 13 and a movable contact 14. A current transformer 3 is arranged in the circuit breaker unit 1. The incoming terminal 13 is connected to the movable contact 14 through a conductor (such as a flexible conductor). The conductor passes through the current transformer 3. A wiring hole 4 is formed in the side of the shell 12. A wire hole 41 is formed in the side of the reclosing unit 2 and communicates with the wiring hole 4. The conductor of the current transformer 3 passes through the wiring hole 4 and the wire hole 41 and is electrically connected to a control module in the reclosing unit 2. In actual application, the current transformer 3 is arranged to collect current signals to determine whether the main circuit is overloaded. Specifically, the current transformer 3 transmits signals to the reclosing unit 2. When the current transformer 3 detects that the main circuit is overloaded, the reclosing unit 2 controls the circuit breaker unit 1 to open, thereby realizing overload protection function. In this way, the bimetallic strip in the circuit breaker unit 1 can be omitted, and the process of adjusting the bimetallic strip during assembly of the circuit breaker is also omitted, which is beneficial to improve production efficiency and improve product performance.

Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 A slot 5 is formed in the surface of the shell 12 and communicates with the wiring hole 4. The slot 5 penetrates the shell 12 along the thickness direction of the shell 12. The upper part of the wiring hole 4 is open through the slot 5. During assembly, the conductor connected to the current transformer 3 can be placed into the wiring hole 4 through the slot 5, thereby facilitating wiring and improving assembly convenience.
[0023] The utility model discloses a circuit breaker unit and a circuit breaker. Figure 2 and Figure 4In order to prevent dust and foreign matters from entering the slot 5, the cover plate 6 is arranged on the shell 12 to close the slot 5. The cover plate 6 is arranged in the slot 5 and the length of the cover plate 6 matches the thickness of the shell 12, so that the slot 5 is completely closed by the cover plate 6. The cover plate 6 and the shell 12 are connected by the plug-in cooperation of the plug strip 61 and the plug groove 62. The plug strip 61 is formed on the two sides of the cover plate 6, and the plug groove 62 is formed on the side wall of the slot 5. The plug strip 61 is inserted into the plug groove 62 along the width direction of the shell 12, so that the gap between the cover plate 6 and the slot 5 is closed, and the cover plate 6 can be quickly and reliably installed. As a variant, the plug strip 61 can be arranged on the side wall of the slot 5, and the plug groove 62 can be arranged on the side of the cover plate 6.
[0024] Further, the plug hole 64 is arranged at one end of the cover plate 6, and the plug block 63 is arranged at the other end. The cover plates 6 on the adjacent circuit breaker units 1 are connected by the plug hole 64 and the plug block 63, so that the structure is more compact, and the gap between the adjacent cover plates 6 is closed.
[0025] Referring to the drawings Figure 5 When the circuit breaker units 1 are multiple, the slot 5 is not arranged on the circuit breaker unit 1 farthest from the reclosing unit 2. The lead of the current transformer 3 in the circuit breaker unit 1 is directly led out from the side wiring hole 4.
