AI Technical Summary
In the operating mechanism of existing residual current circuit breakers, the plastic parts are prone to wear, which leads to an extended reset path and affects the accuracy of the tripping function. At the same time, the lubricating oil dries out during use, which increases friction and wear, and the subsequent refilling procedure is cumbersome.
An operating mechanism including an actuation component and an oil injection component was designed. The actuation component reduces wear by using a limit buckle and the plastic material between the actuation handle, and automatically adds lubricating oil to maintain the lubrication effect by monitoring the amount of lubricating oil in real time through a non-contact lubricating oil sensor.
It effectively reduces wear on the limit latches and actuator handles, ensures a short and accurate reset path, achieves automatic lubrication replenishment, avoids wear and friction problems, and improves the durability and reliability of the mechanism.

[0002] The operating mechanism currently used is composed of copper or iron components and plastic components, and in the daily operation process, compared with the firmness and durability of metal parts, the plastic components are more prone to wear due to their material properties.
