[0019] In this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0020] Electrical interlocking devices for circuit breakers, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the circuit breaker includes an interlocking assembly, a tripping assembly, and a closing assembly installed on it. The interlocking assembly includes a locking shaft 1 rotatably supported on the upper surface of the circuit breaker housing 14 and a closing locking rod 3 connected to the locking shaft 1, the lower end of which corresponds to the vertical position of the closing bend 13 in the closing assembly. When the circuit breaker trips, the counterclockwise rotating locking shaft 1 drives the closing locking rod 3 to move down and insert into the rear end of the closing bend 13, thereby achieving anti-rotation locking of the closing bend 13. The tripping assembly includes a pressure plate 5 fixed at one end to the locking shaft 1, a tripping locking rod 4 guided through the upper surface of the circuit breaker housing 14 and installed inside it, and a tripping plate 11 located below the tripping locking rod 4 and fixed to the tripping half-shaft 12. The other end of the pressure plate 5 is connected to the tripping half-shaft 12. The upper end of the locking rod 4 is elastically connected, and under the counterclockwise rotation of the interlocking shaft 1, the downward-moving pressure plate 5 and the tripping locking rod 4 push the tripping plate 11 to drive the tripping half shaft 12 to rotate clockwise, thereby realizing the tripping of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker housing 14 is equipped with a micro switch 10 connected in series in the circuit breaker closing circuit. When the tripping plate 11 drives the tripping half shaft 12 to rotate clockwise, the tripping plate 11 presses the micro switch 10 to achieve the disconnection of the closing circuit. In the above structure, by optimizing the electrical interlocking structure, the problems of many parts and many uncertain factors in the current circuit breaker mechanism interlocking structure are solved. The transmission links of the interlocking are reduced, the installation and debugging are simple and easy to use, the reliability is strong, and various problems in the production and use process are reduced.
[0021] The split lock rod 4 is a Z-shaped bent rod with an inclined rod in the middle and vertical rods at the upper and lower ends, the vertical rod at the upper end of the split lock rod 4 is arranged through the through hole in the upper end face of the circuit breaker shell 14 and the long hole in the other end face of the pressing plate 5, the vertical rod at the upper end of the split lock rod 4 is a screw rod and is connected with the adjusting nut 6 below the pressing plate 5, the compression spring 7 arranged between the upper end face of the circuit breaker shell 14 and the adjusting nut 6 is sleeved on the split lock rod 4, the guide plate 8 is fixed on the inner side wall of the circuit breaker shell 14, and the vertical rod at the lower end of the split lock rod 4 is arranged through the guide hole in the guide plate 8, and when the counterclockwise rotating interlocking shaft 1 drives the split lock plate 11 to move downward through the pressing plate 5 and the split lock rod 4, the split half shaft 12 rotates clockwise; specifically, the mounting plate 9 fixed on the inner side wall of the circuit breaker shell 14 is arranged below the guide plate 8, and the micro switch 10 is mounted on the mounting plate 9.
[0022] The specific structure of the pressing plate 5 is as follows: the pressing plate 5 is an integral bent plate made of an inclined plate in the middle and horizontal plates at both ends, the horizontal plate at one end of the pressing plate 5 is fixed on the interlocking shaft 1, and the horizontal plate at the other end of the pressing plate 5 is provided with a long hole for the upper end of the split lock rod 4 to pass through, which has the same purpose and effect as the strip-shaped hole 16 arranged on the connecting plate 15, and provides the required amount of position adjustment when the split lock rod 4 moves downward.
[0023] In the structure, the split lock rod 4 elastically mounted on the circuit breaker shell 14 by the compression spring 7 moves downward to control the split half shaft 12 to rotate clockwise after the split lock rod 4 is driven to move downward by the pressing plate 5, so as to realize the circuit breaker split, the split lock rod 4 moves downward and resets, and the involved parts are few, the structure is simple, and the operation is reliable;
[0024] The connection structure of the interlocking shaft 1 and the closing lock rod 3 is as follows: the interlocking shaft 1 is fixed with two connecting plates 15, and the plate face of the extending end of the connecting plate 15 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 16, the upper end of the closing lock rod 3 is located between the two connecting plates 15 and is connected as a whole by a short pin passing through the strip-shaped hole 16 and the radial hole in the upper end of the closing lock rod 3, wherein the strip-shaped hole 16 is arranged to provide a position adjustment amount for the short pin, so as to ensure that the rotating connecting plate 15 can smoothly control the closing lock rod 3 to move up and down; specifically, the interlocking shaft 1 is rotatably supported on the upper end face of the circuit breaker shell 14 by the L-shaped support bent plate 2 provided with a through hole on the vertical plate, wherein the through hole on the support bent plate 2 is clearance-fitted with the interlocking shaft 1 to ensure the rotation of the interlocking shaft 1.
[0025] In the above structure, the counterclockwise rotating interlocking shaft 3 inserts the closing bent plate 13 and prevents it from rotating by moving downward during the split process, which greatly improves the electrical safety of the circuit breaker and the performance of the product;
[0026] When the circuit breaker needs to be powered off for maintenance, the circuit breaker needs to be in the split state, first, according to the Figure 1Rotate the interlocking shaft 1 counterclockwise at the position shown, pressing down the closing locking rod 3 and the pressure plate 5. The closing locking rod 3 inserts behind the closing bending plate 13 to prevent the closing bending plate 13 from rotating. At the same time, the opening locking rod 4 is pressed down by the pressure plate 5 and guided by the guide plate 8, causing the opening plate 11 to drive the opening half shaft 12 to rotate clockwise, thereby opening the circuit breaker. At the same time, during the rotation of the opening plate 11, the micro switch 10 on the mounting plate 9 is pressed, giving an opening signal and cutting off the closing circuit, which serves as a reminder and prevents misoperation. At this time, the entire interlocking operation process is completed, and the circuit breaker is in the open and de-energized state, and the next maintenance work can be carried out.
[0027] Conversely, during unlocking, rotating the interlocking shaft 1 clockwise causes the closing locking rod 3 and the opening locking rod 4 to lift and reset due to the rebound force of the compression spring 7. The closing locking rod 3 will be removed from the rear end of the closing bend plate 13, ready for the next closing operation. After the opening locking rod 4 resets, the opening half shaft 12 will drive the opening stop plate 11 to reset. The micro switch 10 will switch and connect the closing circuit, waiting for the next closing command. This completes the interlock release function, laying the foundation for safe power supply next time. It also ensures that personnel will not misoperate during maintenance.
[0028] This technical solution makes it easier and less strenuous for operators to operate, and increases assembly efficiency. It reduces the workload and pressure on operators, and the electrical interlocking also provides electrical locking in addition to mechanical locking, laying a solid foundation for the five-proof electrical interlocking in the power transmission and distribution system.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
