DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to provide a sufficient understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0024] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection", "fixing" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above-mentioned terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] As Figure 3As shown, the embodiment provides a layout structure of a miniature circuit breaker. The incoming terminal 5 is located at the left end of the circuit breaker housing, and the outgoing terminal 6 is located at the right end of the circuit breaker housing; the magnetic tripping system 4 is located at the left side of the upper part of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing; the mechanism system 3 is located at the middle of the upper part of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing; the left and right arc extinguishing systems 1 are symmetrically located at the left and right sides of the lower part of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing; the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7 in the arc running area and the thermal tripping system 2 are both located at the middle of the lower part of the inner cavity of the circuit breaker housing, and the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7 and the thermal tripping system 2 are arranged in front of and behind each other, that is, the thermal tripping system 2 is located at the back of the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7, and then the thermal tripping system 2 is isolated from the left and right arc extinguishing systems 1 and the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7 in the arc running area by the insulating isolation plate 8, so as to prevent the arc in the arc running area from affecting the thermal tripping system 2. It should be noted that the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7 can be replaced by the Y-shaped potential equalizing arc guiding piece 10 in Figure 2 .

[0026] As shown in Figure 4 , the circuit breaker is in the open state: high-temperature arc is generated at the moment of opening, and the arc is introduced into the left arc-extinguishing chamber 101 and the right arc-extinguishing chamber 102 on the left and right sides according to the direction of the arrow under the action of the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7, and is extinguished by the left arc-extinguishing grid 103 and the right arc-extinguishing grid 104. The main function of the inverted V-shaped arc guiding piece 7 is to connect the left arc-extinguishing chamber 101 and the right arc-extinguishing chamber 102 on the left and right sides in series to participate in arc extinguishing together, as shown in Figure 7 , and the notch of the structure is mainly to provide a certain space for the thermal tripping system 2.

[0027] As shown in Figure 5 , the circuit breaker is in the closed state: the current passes through the incoming terminal 5, the coil of the magnetic tripping system 4, the static contact conducting piece 11, the static contact, the moving contact, the wire one 15, the thermal double gold piece 12, the wire two 16, the right arc guiding piece 9, and the outgoing terminal 6.

[0028] When the overload current flows through the thermal double gold piece 12, the thermal double gold piece 12 moves the tripping rod 13 to the right side by deformation, so that the tripping rod 13 touches the tripping piece 14 to realize the tripping of the mechanism, and then realizes the opening function of the circuit breaker.

[0029] Among them, the wire one 15 connects the moving contact and the upper end of the thermal double gold piece 12, and the wire two 16 connects the thermal double gold piece 12 and the right arc guiding piece 9. When the circuit breaker is closed, the current flow path is as shown in Figure 5 , wherein the thermal double gold piece 12 contained therein is the main execution piece of the thermal tripping function.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the main role of the insulation isolation plate 8 is to isolate the thermal trip system 2 from the arc area on the back side and the left and right arc chambers 102 on the left and right sides, to avoid the thermal trip system 2 from being disturbed by arc burning and creeping.

[0031] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical scheme of the present application, or modify it into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical scheme of the present application, by using the disclosed methods and technical contents. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the shape, structure and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
