Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions, and capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. Furthermore, it generally does not require replacement of components after interrupting a fault current, leading to its widespread application.

[0003] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, especially the formation and launch of the concept of "ubiquitous power Internet of Things", there has been a surge in demand for intelligent circuit breakers. As a result, many low-voltage electrical appliance companies have accelerated the development of intelligent circuit breakers, and various intelligent circuit breaker products are constantly emerging.

[0004] Most smart circuit breakers on the market are currently designed as a single unit, meaning that the intelligent control module used for intelligent operation is integrated with the circuit breaker used for opening and closing the circuit. However, the intelligent control module has numerous electronic components, resulting in a higher failure rate compared to the circuit breaker itself. When the intelligent control module fails, the entire smart circuit breaker must be removed from the circuit, and a new smart circuit breaker needs to be rewired and installed. This not only prolongs maintenance and construction time but also increases construction costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this application is to provide an intelligent circuit breaker that addresses the problem in existing intelligent circuit breakers where, when the intelligent control module malfunctions, the entire intelligent circuit breaker can only be removed from the circuit.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an intelligent circuit breaker, which includes a circuit breaker and an intelligent control module; wherein,

[0007] The circuit breaker includes a circuit breaker body and a first mating component. The circuit breaker body has an input terminal, an output terminal, a triggering mechanism, and a tripping mechanism. The first mating component is electrically connected to the live wire interface and neutral wire interface of the input terminal, the end of the tripping mechanism, and the live wire interface of the output terminal, and is exposed on the outer surface of the circuit breaker body.

[0008] The intelligent control module is detachably connected to the circuit breaker body. The intelligent control module includes an operation component, a control component, and a second cooperation component that cooperates with the first cooperation component. The control component is electrically connected to the operation component and the second cooperation component respectively.

[0009] When the intelligent control module is connected to the circuit breaker body, the operating component is also connected to the triggering mechanism via a transmission, and the second cooperating component is also electrically connected to the first cooperating component, so that the control component is electrically connected to the circuit breaker body to collect the electrical parameters of the circuit where the circuit breaker body is located, and control the operation of the operating component according to the electrical parameters to drive the triggering mechanism to perform a tripping operation on the circuit breaker.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the circuit breaker body has an abutment surface on one side, the first mating component is exposed on the abutment surface, the intelligent control module has a connection part on one side, the second mating component is exposed on the connection part, and the connection part is detachably connected to the circuit breaker body.

[0011] When the connecting part is connected to the circuit breaker body, the abutting surface abuts against the connecting part.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting portion includes a receiving groove recessed on one side of the intelligent control module. When the connecting portion is connected to the circuit breaker body, the circuit breaker body is at least partially inserted into the receiving groove, and the abutting surface abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting part further includes two protective walls, which are spaced apart at the opening of the receiving groove and extend toward the body of the circuit breaker. When the connecting part is connected to the circuit breaker body, the two protective walls are respectively located on both sides of the operating handle of the circuit breaker body and are in close contact with the outer surface of the circuit breaker body.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the circuit breaker body includes a first housing assembly, the first housing assembly includes a first cover plate and a first bottom shell, the first cover plate is connected to the first bottom shell and surrounds to form a mounting cavity, and the first cover plate is also provided with two stepped holes;

[0015] The first mating component includes two first conductive electrodes, which are respectively installed in the two stepped holes and exposed on the outer surface of the circuit breaker body through the corresponding stepped holes to mate with the second conductive electrodes of the second mating component. One of the first conductive electrodes is electrically connected to the live wire interface and the neutral wire interface of the input terminal, and the other first conductive electrode is electrically connected to the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the second mating component includes two second conductive electrodes that are electrically connected to the control component, and each of the two second conductive electrodes is provided with a mating groove;

[0017] Both first conductive electrodes extend toward the intelligent control module to protrude from the outer surface of the circuit breaker body. When the connecting part is connected to the circuit breaker body, the two first conductive electrodes are respectively inserted into the corresponding mating slots.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the first conductive electrode is recessed with two electrode holes, and the bottom of the mating groove is protruded with two electrode posts. When the first conductive electrode is inserted into the mating groove, the two electrode posts are respectively inserted into the corresponding electrode holes.

[0019] In one of the first conductive electrodes, the two electrode holes are electrically connected to the live wire interface and the neutral wire interface of the input terminal, respectively. In the other first conductive electrode, the two electrode holes are electrically connected to the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal, respectively, so that the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal are connected in series through the first conductive electrode.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the intelligent control module further includes a communicator for communicating with an external intelligent device to receive control commands from the external intelligent device. The control component is electrically connected to the communicator and controls the operation of the operating component according to the control commands received by the communicator to drive the triggering mechanism to perform a tripping operation on the circuit breaker.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the operating component includes a drive element and a lever, the drive element being drive-connected to the triggering mechanism via the lever, and the drive element being electrically connected to the control component.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, one end of the lever is provided with a driving end, which is connected to the triggering mechanism in a transmission manner, and the other end of the lever is provided with a linkage part, which is used to connect with the lever of another operating component.

[0023] The intelligent circuit breaker provided in this application, through the aforementioned structural configuration, allows for the removal of the existing intelligent control module from the circuit's intelligent circuit breaker when it malfunctions, preventing the circuit breaker from functioning properly. A new intelligent control module is then installed, with its operating components connected to the triggering mechanism of the existing circuit breaker body. The second mating component of the newly installed intelligent control module is electrically connected to the first mating component of the existing circuit breaker body, and the control component of the newly installed intelligent control module is electrically connected to the existing circuit breaker body. This enables the newly installed intelligent control module to work in conjunction with the existing intelligent circuit breaker. Therefore, this technical solution, by separating the intelligent control module for intelligent operation from the circuit breaker for opening and closing the circuit, allows for the replacement of the faulty intelligent control module with a new one, ensuring the existing intelligent circuit breaker can continue to function without requiring disassembly or installation of a new one. This significantly shortens maintenance time and reduces maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0037] An embodiment of this application provides an intelligent circuit breaker 100, which is installed in a circuit for intelligent monitoring of the circuit. Please refer to the reference... Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the intelligent circuit breaker 100 includes a circuit breaker 10 and an intelligent control module 20.

[0038] The circuit breaker 10 includes a circuit breaker body 11 and a first mating assembly 12. The circuit breaker body 11 has an input terminal 111, an output terminal 112, a triggering mechanism 113, and a tripping mechanism. The first mating assembly 12 is electrically connected to the live wire interface and neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, the end of the tripping mechanism, and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112, and is exposed on the outer surface of the circuit breaker body 11. The input terminal 111 and the output terminal 112 are respectively used to connect to cables to connect the circuit breaker body 11 in series in the circuit. The triggering mechanism 113 is a key component responsible for quickly disconnecting the circuit when a circuit abnormality (such as overload or short circuit) is detected. It can also disconnect the circuit under external force. The tripping mechanism is responsible for quickly separating the contacts when the circuit breaker 10 needs to disconnect the circuit, thereby cutting off the current.

[0039] The intelligent control module 20 is detachably connected to the circuit breaker body 11. There are various ways to detachably connect the intelligent control module 20 to the circuit breaker body 11, such as plug-in, snap-in, bolt connection, etc.

[0040] The intelligent control module 20 includes an operation component 21, a control component 22, and a second cooperation component 23 that cooperates with the first cooperation component 12. The control component 22 is electrically connected to both the operation component 21 and the second cooperation component 23. The control component 22 typically integrates multiple different types of detectors (e.g., current detection coils) to detect and analyze the collected electrical parameters to determine if there are any abnormalities in the current, including but not limited to undervoltage, overvoltage, and short circuit. It should be noted that the control component 22 can maintain normal operation by drawing power from the circuit or by using a battery built into the intelligent control module 20.

[0041] When the intelligent control module 20 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the operation component 21 is also connected to the trigger mechanism 113 in a transmission manner, and the second cooperation component 23 is also electrically connected to the first cooperation component 12, so that the control component 22 is electrically connected to the circuit breaker body 11 to collect the electrical parameters of the circuit where the circuit breaker body 11 is located, and control the operation of the operation component 21 according to the electrical parameters to drive the trigger mechanism 113 to perform the tripping operation on the circuit breaker 10.

[0042] It should be emphasized that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the first cooperating component 12 and the second cooperating component 23. The first cooperating component 12 is electrically connected to the live wire interface and neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, the end of the tripping mechanism, and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112, respectively. The control component 22 establishes an electrical connection with the first cooperating component 12 through the cooperation of the second cooperating component 23, so that the control component 22 is electrically connected to the live wire interface and neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, the end of the tripping mechanism, and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112, respectively.

[0043] Understandably, the control component 22 connects the end of the tripping mechanism to the live wire interface of the output terminal 112 and incorporates a detection coil in its circuit. In this way, the control component 22 can detect electrical parameters in the circuit (e.g., the magnitude of the current). The control component 22 can also detect electrical parameters in the circuit (e.g., the magnitude of the voltage) through the neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111 and the end of the tripping mechanism.

[0044] When the intelligent circuit breaker 100 is applied to a circuit, if an abnormal situation occurs in the circuit where the intelligent circuit breaker 100 is located, the control component 22 can determine the abnormal situation of the circuit by collecting electrical parameters, and then control the operation component 21 to work. When the operation component 21 is working, it can drive the trigger mechanism 113. The trigger mechanism 113 is subjected to the force of the operation component 21 and can quickly disconnect the circuit, that is, the circuit breaker 10 is tripped.

[0045] The intelligent circuit breaker 100 provided in this application embodiment, through the above-described structural configuration, allows for the removal of the existing intelligent control module 20 from the circuit when the intelligent control module 20 of the intelligent circuit breaker 100 malfunctions, preventing the intelligent circuit breaker 100 from operating normally. A new intelligent control module 20 is then installed. The operating component 21 of the newly installed intelligent control module 20 is connected to the trigger mechanism 113 of the existing circuit breaker body 11, and the second cooperating component 23 of the newly installed intelligent control module 20 is electrically connected to the first cooperating component 12 of the existing circuit breaker body 11. This also allows the control component 22 of the newly installed intelligent control module 20 to be electrically connected to the existing circuit breaker body 11, thereby enabling the newly installed intelligent control module 20 to work in conjunction with the existing intelligent circuit breaker 100. As can be seen, the technical solution of this application, by designing the intelligent control module 20 for intelligent operation and the circuit breaker 10 for opening and closing the circuit separately, allows a new intelligent control module 20 to be replaced and used in conjunction with the existing circuit breaker 10 of the intelligent circuit breaker 100 when the intelligent control module 20 fails. In this way, the existing circuit breaker 10 of the intelligent circuit breaker 100 can still be used without disassembling the existing circuit breaker 10 and installing a new circuit breaker 10, which greatly shortens the maintenance and construction time and reduces the maintenance and construction cost.

[0046] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a contact surface 114 is provided on one side of the circuit breaker body 11, and a first mating component 12 is exposed on the contact surface 114. A connecting part 24 is provided on one side of the intelligent control module 20, and a second mating component 23 is exposed on the connecting part 24. The connecting part 24 is detachably connected to the circuit breaker body 11. When the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the contact surface 114 abuts against the connecting part 24.

[0047] This configuration is intended to ensure that when the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the contact surface 114 can abut against the connecting part 24, thereby making the cooperation between the first mating component 12 and the second mating component 23 stable and reliable, so as to establish a stable electrical connection relationship, enabling the control component 22 to more accurately collect the electrical parameters of the circuit where the circuit breaker body 11 is located, and improving the reliability of the smart circuit breaker 100.

[0048] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting part 24 includes a receiving groove 241 recessed on one side of the intelligent control module 20. When the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the circuit breaker body 11 is at least partially inserted into the receiving groove 241, and the contact surface 114 abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 241.

[0049] This configuration aims to achieve a detachable connection between the connecting part 24 and the circuit breaker body 11, while facilitating the connection between the connecting part 24 and the circuit breaker 10, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the intelligent circuit breaker. Furthermore, the circuit breaker body 11 is at least partially engaged with the receiving groove 241, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting part 24 and the circuit breaker body 11.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting part 24 also includes two protective walls 242, which are spaced apart at the opening of the receiving groove 241 and extend toward the body of the circuit breaker 10. When the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the two protective walls 242 are located on both sides of the operating handle 115 of the circuit breaker body 11 and are in close contact with the outer surface of the circuit breaker body 11. This arrangement is intended to further improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting part 24 and the circuit breaker body 11.

[0051] It should be noted that the operating handle 115 is an operating mechanism for users to manually close or open the circuit breaker.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the circuit breaker body 11 includes a first housing assembly 116, which includes a first cover plate 1161 and a first bottom shell. The first cover plate 1161 is connected to the first bottom shell and forms a first mounting cavity. The first cover plate 1161 also has two stepped holes 1163. The first mating assembly 12 includes two first conductive electrodes 121, which are respectively installed in the two stepped holes 1163 and exposed on the outer surface of the circuit breaker body 11 through the corresponding stepped holes 1163 to mate with the second conductive electrode 231 of the second mating assembly 23. One first conductive electrode 121 is electrically connected to the live wire interface and the neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, and the other first conductive electrode 121 is electrically connected to the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112.

[0053] This configuration aims to improve the stability of the first mating component 12 installed on the circuit breaker body 11, so that when a new intelligent control module 20 is replaced, the second mating component 23 can establish a stable connection with the first mating component 12.

[0054] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the second mating component 23 includes two second conductive electrodes 231 that are electrically connected to the control component 22, and each of the two second conductive electrodes 231 is provided with a mating groove 232. Both first conductive electrodes 121 also extend toward the intelligent control module 20 to protrude from the outer surface of the circuit breaker body 11. When the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, the two first conductive electrodes 121 respectively insert and mate with the corresponding mating groove 232.

[0055] This configuration is designed to allow the second mating component 23 to quickly engage with the first mating component 12 when the connecting part 24 is connected to the circuit breaker body 11, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the intelligent control module 20.

[0056] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first conductive electrode 121 has two recessed electrode holes 122, and the bottom of the mating groove 232 has two protruding electrode posts 234. When the first conductive electrode 121 is inserted into the mating groove 232, the two electrode posts 234 are respectively inserted into the corresponding electrode holes 122. Specifically, the two electrode holes 122 of one first conductive electrode 121 are electrically connected to the live wire interface and neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, respectively, and the two electrode holes 122 of the other first conductive electrode 121 are electrically connected to the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112, respectively, thus connecting the end of the tripping mechanism and the live wire interface of the output terminal 112 in series through the first conductive electrode. This arrangement aims to further improve the stability of the electrical connection between the second mating component 23 and the first mating component 12.

[0057] In some examples, control component 22 draws electrical power from the circuit via a primary loop to maintain normal operation.

[0058] It is important to emphasize that in the circuit breaker body 11, the input terminal 111 and the output terminal 112 are connected in series via a conductor such as a cable to disconnect the circuit. This structure is typically the tripping mechanism mentioned above. In some examples, one electrode hole of a first conductive electrode 121 is connected in parallel to the conductor between the live wire interface of the input terminal 111 and the tripping mechanism, and another electrode hole is connected in parallel to the conductor between the neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111 and the tripping mechanism, so as to electrically connect to the live wire interface and the neutral wire interface of the input terminal 111, respectively. Another first conductive electrode 121 is connected in series between the tripping mechanism and the output terminal 112 via a conductor, so that one electrode hole of the first conductive electrode is electrically connected to the end of the tripping mechanism, and the other electrode hole of the first conductive electrode is electrically connected to the live wire interface of the output terminal 112.

[0059] In some examples, the intelligent control module 20 includes a second housing assembly 25, which includes a second cover plate 251 and a second bottom shell 252. The second cover plate 251 is connected to the second bottom shell 252 and encloses it to form a second mounting cavity, which is used to install the control assembly 22, the operation assembly 21, etc.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the intelligent control module 20 also includes a communicator, which is used to communicate with external intelligent devices to receive control commands from the external intelligent devices. The control component 22 is electrically connected to the communicator and controls the operation component 21 according to the control commands received by the communicator to drive the trigger mechanism 113 to perform a tripping operation on the circuit breaker 10.

[0061] This setup is designed to allow staff to use external smart devices to control the smart control module 20, thereby remotely controlling the smart circuit breaker 100 and improving the intelligence of the smart circuit breaker 100.

[0062] In some examples, the communicator can also transmit various parameters of the intelligent control module 20 to external intelligent devices so that staff can use the external intelligent devices to monitor the intelligent circuit breaker 100.

[0063] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the operating component 21 includes a drive element 211 and a lever 212. The drive element 211 is connected to the trigger mechanism 113 via the lever 212, and the drive element 211 is also electrically connected to the control component 22. This configuration aims to enable the drive element 211 to quickly respond to the control of the control component 22, allowing the drive element 211 to quickly drive the lever 212 to act on the trigger mechanism 113, thereby quickly opening the circuit breaker.

[0064] It should be noted that in power equipment, devices such as shunt trip units and residual current devices are equipped with operating components 21.

[0065] In some examples, such as Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, one end of the lever 212 is provided with a drive end 2121, which is connected to the trigger mechanism 113 in a transmission manner. The other end of the lever 212 is provided with a linkage part 2122, which is used to connect with the lever 212 of another operating component 21.

[0066] With this configuration, power equipment such as shunt trip units and residual current devices can also be installed on the side of the intelligent control module 20 away from the circuit breaker 10. When the shunt trip unit receives a shunt trip signal, the operating component 21 will drive the triggering mechanism 113 to perform a tripping operation on the circuit breaker 10. When the residual current device receives a leakage signal, the operating component 21 will drive the triggering mechanism 113 to perform a tripping operation on the circuit breaker 10.

[0067] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
