TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medium voltage circuit breaker, especially relates to a grounding circuit breaker. BACKGROUND
[0002] In power systems, circuit breakers are important components that protect circuits from overload and short-circuit damage. Their development history can be traced back to the early days of electrical engineering. With the significant increase in demand for electrical energy, the development of power distribution systems and the demand for more efficient and reliable circuit breaking technology have been promoted. Traditional circuit breakers mainly rely on mechanical switches and simple fuses to cut off the current, and when a fault occurs, the current flow is interrupted by fuse melting or contact separation. However, these traditional methods have the problems of slow response speed, inconvenient operation and high maintenance cost. Over time, different types of circuit breakers such as electromagnetic circuit breakers, thermal magnetic circuit breakers, and vacuum circuit breakers have emerged, which have made significant progress in improving circuit breaking efficiency, enhancing safety, and extending service life.
[0003] The design of modern grounding circuit breakers not only needs to consider basic opening and closing functions, but also needs to consider fast response capability, low maintenance requirement, high reliability and safety performance. However, some existing circuit breakers cannot ensure complete electrical isolation when performing grounding tasks, increasing potential safety risks. In particular, for those occasions that require frequent operation, such as branch lines in distribution networks or connection of temporary power equipment, existing solutions may not meet the requirements of fast and reliable grounding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] As Figures 1-4 shown in a kind of ground circuit breaker, including switch mechanism box 1, the left side of switch mechanism box 1 is welded with mounting frame 5, isolating switch shaft 9 is rotatably connected on mounting frame 5, winder 10 is fixedly connected on isolating switch shaft 9, steel wire rope 16 is wound on winder 10, one end of steel wire rope 16 extends into the interior of switch mechanism box 1 and is fixedly connected with second shaft 19, second shaft 19 is rotatably connected on first vertical plate 17, one end of second shaft 19 is connected with clockwork spring 20, knife switch seat 14 is fixedly connected on second shaft 19, the inner top of switch mechanism box 1 is fixedly connected with metal guide plate 12, one end of metal guide plate 12 is fixedly connected with knife switch piece 13.
[0020] The two sides of knife switch seat 14 are fixedly connected with magnet block 15, and the two sides of knife switch piece 13 are fixedly connected with iron block.
[0021] The outer side of clockwork spring 20 is fixedly connected with spring box, and the lower part of spring box is fixedly connected with second vertical plate 21.
[0022] One end of metal guide plate 12 penetrates the shell of switch mechanism box 1, and the end of metal guide plate 12 is fixedly connected with first terminal post 2, first vertical plate 17 is a metal plate, and second terminal post 18 is connected to first vertical plate 17.
[0023] The upper part of switch mechanism box 1 is provided with arc extinguishing chamber 4, mutual inductor 7 is connected to arc extinguishing chamber 4, and static contact 8 is fixedly connected to mutual inductor 7.
[0024] Handle 3 is fixedly connected to isolating switch shaft 9, connecting post 11 is installed on isolating switch shaft 9, and isolating knife switch 6 is arranged on the upper part of connecting post 11.
[0025] Working principle: When the operation of the circuit breaker needs to be performed, the operator will grab the handle 3 installed on the disconnecting switch shaft 9 through the tool, and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise as needed. This action not only controls the action of the isolation knife switch 6, but also simultaneously starts a series of mechanical linkage processes.
[0026] With the rotation of the disconnecting switch shaft 9, it directly drives the winder 10 fixed on it. The winder 10 is wound with a steel wire rope 16, one end of which extends into the inside of the switch mechanism box 1 and is connected with the second shaft 19. Therefore, the rotation of the winder 10 will cause the tightening or loosening of the steel wire rope 16, thereby affecting the position change of the internal components.
[0027] The clock spring 20 is connected to one end of the second shaft 19 and is designed to provide an automatic reset force. When the disconnecting switch is closed, that is, the disconnecting switch shaft 9 rotates to its terminal position, the steel wire rope 16 will be tightened, so that the clock spring 20 is further compressed and stores energy. Once the disconnecting switch shaft 9 starts to rotate in the opposite direction, the clock spring 20 releases its stored energy, prompting the steel wire rope 16 to reset and re-wind on the winder 10. This design ensures that the system can automatically return to the initial state even without external power.
[0028] In order to ensure that the knife switch seat 14 will not accidentally trip when it contacts the metal conductor piece 12 due to excessive force from the clock spring 20, the magnet block 15 is installed on both sides of the knife switch seat 14, and the iron block is installed on both sides of the corresponding knife switch piece 13. When the knife switch seat 14 approaches the knife switch piece 13, the attractive force between the magnet block 15 and the iron block increases, effectively offsetting part of the tension from the clock spring 20, ensuring that the knife switch seat 14 can be stably maintained in the contact position.
[0029] The utility model is particularly designed with a safety interlocking mechanism to ensure that grounding operation can only be performed after the disconnecting switch is completely disconnected. Specifically, as long as the disconnecting switch is not completely closed, that is, the isolation knife switch 6 does not reach the predetermined position, the winder 10 will not allow the steel wire rope 16 to release enough length to move the knife switch seat 14 to the position of contacting the metal conductor piece 12. This ensures that in any case, the disconnecting switch must be closed before the grounding operation is completed, thereby effectively avoiding the safety hazards caused by misoperation.
[0030] In addition, the upper part of the switch mechanism box 1 is provided with an arc extinguishing chamber 4 for quickly extinguishing the arc to protect the circuit from damage. The mutual inductor 7 is used to monitor the current condition and can trigger a protection action such as automatically disconnecting the circuit or issuing an alarm signal when an abnormality is detected, further enhancing the safety of the system.
[0031] In summary, in the use process, the utility model discloses a series of carefully designed mechanical linkage and safety interlocking mechanism, ensure the orderly progress of disconnecting switch and grounding operation, improve the safety and reliability of power system operation.
[0032] The above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the method and the core idea of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, the utility model can be improved and modified in several ways, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the utility model claims.
