[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the circuit breaker includes a cylinder 1, an arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2, a conductor 3, and a basin-type insulator. The arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 and the conductor 3 are both located inside the cylinder 1. The first end of the conductor 3 is installed in the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 by fasteners, and the second end of the conductor 3 extends to the opening of the cylinder 1 for alignment with the center conductor of the basin-type insulator before assembly.
[0037] This embodiment provides a centering device for circuit breaker conductors. The centering device for circuit breaker conductors includes a main board 10 and a positioning member 20. The main board 10 is detachably mounted on the cylinder 1 and located at the pull-out end. The positioning member 20 is mounted on the main board 10. The position of the positioning member 20 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the center conductor. The positioning member 20 is provided with a positioning hole 21 for inserting the second end of the conductor 3.
[0038] Using fasteners, the first end of conductor 3 is initially installed on the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2. First, a centering device for the circuit breaker conductor is detachably installed on the cylinder 1 to simulate a basin insulator. The positioning member 20 is provided with a positioning hole 21 to simulate the center conductor of the basin insulator. The position of conductor 3 is adjusted so that the second end of conductor 3 is aligned with the positioning hole 21 of the positioning member 20, and the second end of conductor 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 21. At this time, the fasteners are tightened to completely fix the first end of conductor 3 on the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2. The centering device for the circuit breaker conductor is removed from the cylinder 1 and then the basin insulator is installed. The position of conductor 3 is accurate and can be aligned one by one with the center conductor of the basin insulator. After the conductor 3 and the center conductor of the basin insulator are successfully aligned, they are assembled, which effectively reduces the difficulty of assembly operation and improves assembly efficiency.
[0039] In this embodiment, the circuit breaker includes three conductors 3 corresponding to the three phases of the circuit breaker, and three positioning members 20 are also provided accordingly; the center conductor refers to the metal insert inside the basin insulator, and the three conductors 3 are respectively used for alignment with the three center conductors before assembly. Since the outer diameters of the three conductors 3 can be the same or different, the diameters of the positioning holes 21 on the three positioning members 20 can also be the same or different, ensuring that the three positioning holes 21 correspond to the three conductors 3 respectively. Specifically, the cylinder 1 is provided with at least two pull-out openings, so as to... Figure 1 Taking the first cutting port A and the second cutting port B as an example, the first cutting port A and the second cutting port B are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the cylinder 1; the arc extinguishing chamber structure 2 is located inside the cylinder 1.
[0040] Taking the installation of a basin-type insulator at the first connection point A as an example, in the existing assembly method, if the first end of the conductor 3 is completely fixed to the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 using fasteners, the position of the conductor 3 cannot be adjusted subsequently. Under the influence of factors such as processing size error and installation position error, the position of the second end of the conductor 3 is difficult to align with the center conductor of the basin-type insulator when installing the basin-type insulator.
[0041] Therefore, the existing assembly method usually involves inserting the conductor 3 into the cylinder 1 from the first opening A, and firstly using fasteners to preliminarily install the first end of the conductor 3 onto the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2. When installing the basin insulator, the position of the conductor 3 can be repeatedly adjusted so that the second end of the conductor 3 is aligned with the center conductor of the basin insulator.
[0042] Due to the large size and weight of the basin-type insulator, it affects observation during assembly, making centering difficult and reducing assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the installation of the basin-type insulator closes the first opening A, making it impossible to tighten the fastener at the first opening A. Therefore, the fastener must be tightened from the second opening B to completely fix the first end of the conductor 3 to the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2. Since the fastener is located on the side of the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 facing the first opening A, the location of the fastener cannot be directly observed at the second opening B. Moreover, the distance between the second opening B and the fastener location is far, making the operation very inconvenient. Even after the operation, it is still difficult to ensure that the fastener is tightened.
[0043] Optionally, the main board 10 is used to partially block the pull-out port and form an operating notch with the cylinder 1 at the pull-out port. By setting the main board 10 to partially block the pull-out port, the main board 10 and the cylinder 1 form an operating notch at the pull-out port. When the position of the conductor 3 is adjusted so that the second end of the conductor 3 is aligned with the positioning hole 21 of the alignment device for the circuit breaker conductor, the second end of the conductor 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 21. At this time, the main board 10 does not completely block the pull-out port, and the fastener can be tightened directly from the position of the operating notch to completely fix the first end of the conductor 3 onto the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the main board 10 is T-shaped; the main board 10 and the cylinder 1 form three operating notches C at the first opening A. Operators can directly reach into the cylinder 1 through the operating notches C. Since the fasteners are located on the side of the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 facing the first opening A, the location of the fasteners can be directly observed at the operating notches C. This allows for tightening the fasteners to completely fix the first end of the conductor 3 onto the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2, changing the conductor 3 fastening operation method and solving the problem of inconvenient conductor 3 fastening operation.
[0045] Furthermore, the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor also includes a connector, and the main board 10 is detachably mounted on the cylinder 1 via the connector. By detachably mounting the main board 10 on the cylinder 1 using the connector, the first end of the conductor 3 can be completely fixed to the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 while maintaining the stable position of the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor, thus preventing the positional deviation of the centering device from affecting the positional accuracy of the conductor 3; after the first end of the conductor 3 is completely fixed, the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor can be easily removed from the cylinder 1.
[0046] Optionally, the two ends of the connector are inserted into the main board 10 and the cylinder 1, respectively; or, one end of the connector rests against the main board 10, and the other end passes through the main board 10 and is threaded to the cylinder 1. By setting the two ends of the connector to be inserted into the main board 10 and the cylinder 1, the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor can be temporarily positioned and installed on the cylinder 1, and the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor can be removed by pulling out the connector; by setting the connector to be threaded to the cylinder 1, the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor can be removed by loosening the connector.
[0047] In this embodiment, the connector is a bolt. The main board 10 has an auxiliary hole 12, and the cylinder 1 has a threaded hole that matches the auxiliary hole 12. The bolt passes through the auxiliary hole 12 and is threadedly connected to the cylinder 1. In other embodiments, the connector may also be a locating pin with its two ends inserted into the main board 10 and the cylinder 1, respectively.
[0048] See Figures 4 to 7 The positioning component 20 is detachably connected to the main board 10. By setting the positioning component 20 to be detachably connected to the main board 10, it is easy to adjust and replace the positioning component 20 to accommodate conductors 3 with different outer diameters, which is beneficial for disassembly and maintenance.
[0049] To ensure that the position of the positioning hole 21 on the positioning member 20 can simulate the position of the center conductor of the basin insulator, the main board 10 is provided with a mounting through hole 11. The position of the mounting through hole 11 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the center conductor, and the positioning member 20 is at least partially disposed within the mounting through hole 11. By machining mounting through holes 11 on the main board 10 that correspond to the position of the center conductor of the basin insulator, and setting the positioning member 20 at the mounting through hole 11, the position of the positioning hole 21 on the positioning member 20 can simulate the position of the center conductor of the basin insulator. In this embodiment, the mounting through hole 11 is circular, the positioning member 20 is cylindrical, and the axial direction of the positioning member 20 coincides with the axial direction of the mounting through hole 11. In other embodiments, the positioning member 20 can also be interference-fitted with the mounting through hole 11 of the main board 10.
[0050] Optionally, the positioning element 20 is provided with external threads, and the mounting through hole 11 is a threaded hole, with the positioning element 20 threadedly engaging with the mounting through hole 11. By engaging the positioning element 20 with the mounting through hole 11, the connection stability between the positioning element 20 and the main board 10 is ensured during the use of the alignment device for circuit breaker conductors. Furthermore, after use, the positioning element 20 can be removed from the main board 10 by loosening the screws, facilitating maintenance and replacement.
[0051] Furthermore, the positioning member 20 is provided with a limiting ring surface. The positioning member 20 is partially disposed within the mounting through hole 11 and abuts against the motherboard 10 through the limiting ring surface. By providing a limiting ring surface on the positioning member 20, the positioning member 20 is partially disposed within the mounting through hole 11 and is limited by the limiting ring surface, thereby restricting the insertion depth of the positioning member 20 at the mounting through hole 11 and ensuring the accuracy of the relative position between the positioning member 20 and the motherboard 10.
[0052] In this embodiment, the positioning member 20 includes an insertion section 22 and a positioning section 23. The positioning section 23 is connected to the insertion section 22. The positioning hole 21 is a circular through hole that passes through both the insertion section 22 and the positioning section 23. The outer diameter of the insertion section 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning section 23, so as to form a limiting ring surface between the insertion section 22 and the positioning section 23. The positioning section 23 is located on the side of the insertion section 22 away from the motherboard 10. The insertion section 22 is provided with external threads for engaging with the mounting through hole 11. The insertion section 22 of the positioning member 20 is aligned with the mounting through hole 11 of the motherboard 10. The insertion section 22 is rotated to gradually insert the positioning member 20 into the mounting through hole 11 until the positioning member 20 abuts against the motherboard 10 through the limiting ring surface, thus completing the assembly of the positioning member 20 and the motherboard 10.
[0053] The following is a detailed description of the usage process of the centering device for circuit breaker conductors:
[0054] Taking the first breakout point A as an example, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the positioning hole 21 of the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor can correspond one-to-one with the position of the center conductor of the basin insulator to be installed later. That is, a motherboard 10 and positioning piece 20 of appropriate size are used and assembled. The centering device used for the circuit breaker conductor can simulate the basin insulator.
[0055] First, the first end of conductor 3 is initially installed on the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2 using fasteners. A centering device for the circuit breaker conductor is placed on the cylinder 1 to simulate a basin insulator, ensuring that the positioning member 20 is located on the side of the main board 10 facing the cylinder 1. The positioning hole 21 is used to simulate the center conductor of the basin insulator. The position of conductor 3 is adjusted so that the second end of conductor 3 is aligned with the positioning hole 21 of the positioning member 20, and the second end of conductor 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 21. The centering device for the circuit breaker conductor is detachably fixed on the cylinder 1 using connectors. The main board 10 partially blocks the first opening A. The main board 10 and the cylinder 1 form three operating notches C at the first opening A.
[0056] At this point, under the action of the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor, the position of conductor 3 is determined and kept stationary. Next, the operator can reach into the cylinder 1 through the operating notch C and tighten the fasteners to ensure that the first end of conductor 3 is completely fixed on the arc-extinguishing chamber structure 2.
[0057] Finally, the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor is removed from the cylinder 1, and the basin insulator is installed on the cylinder 1. Since the centering device for the circuit breaker conductor has already simulated the basin insulator and adjusted the position of the conductor 3, the position of the conductor 3 can be aligned one-to-one with the center conductor of the basin insulator when installing the basin insulator. This can effectively reduce the offset between the position of the conductor 3 and the position of the center conductor of the basin insulator. The assembly of the conductor 3 has good alignment and can be smoothly aligned with the center conductor of the basin insulator before assembly, which effectively reduces the difficulty of the assembly operation and improves the assembly efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
