Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of circuit breaker, especially relates to a mechanical type direct current circuit breaker with built-in hall sensor. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hall sensors have high sensitivity, high reliability, low power consumption, miniaturization and other characteristics, and are widely used in industrial, automotive, consumer electronics and other fields. Hall sensors work based on the Hall effect. The Hall effect refers to the deflection force that a magnetic field exerts on the electric charges in a conductor when an electric current passes through the conductor located in the magnetic field, thereby generating a potential difference on both sides of the conductor, which is called Hall voltage. Hall sensors can sense changes in the magnetic field and convert them into electrical signals. When a magnetic field acts on a Hall sensor, the Hall element inside it will generate a Hall voltage, which is proportional to the magnetic field strength. By measuring the Hall voltage, the changes in the magnetic field can be indirectly known. Hall sensors are mainly divided into linear Hall sensors and switch-type Hall sensors. Linear Hall sensors can provide an output voltage proportional to the magnetic field strength, suitable for position, speed and current measurement; while switch-type Hall sensors output digital signals when the magnetic field strength reaches a preset threshold, commonly used to detect the presence or absence of a magnetic field.

[0003] As one of the most important components in high-voltage direct current systems, DC circuit breakers have strong breaking capacity, fast action speed, high reliability and other characteristics, and play an important role in high-voltage direct current transmission systems, renewable energy generation systems, urban power grids and distributed energy systems, electric vehicle charging stations and energy storage systems, as well as power electronic device protection in multiple fields and scenarios. Not only can it protect the safety of equipment and personnel, but also can improve the stability and reliability of the power system.

[0004] The application of Hall sensors and DC circuit breakers in power distribution systems is mainly as follows: when the current in the DC circuit changes, a corresponding magnetic field change will occur. Hall sensors can sense this magnetic field change and convert it into an electrical signal output. By measuring and analyzing this electrical signal, the current state in the DC circuit can be determined. When the current exceeds the preset value, the DC circuit breaker will act quickly to cut off the current in the circuit. As a key component in the electrical circuit, the Hall sensor mainly undertakes the monitoring task of current, voltage and other parameters. It is widely used in various electrical systems due to its unique physical characteristics, such as high precision, high stability and strong anti-interference ability. However, the nature of this externally attached accessory makes it somewhat inconvenient to install and maintain.

[0005] At present, the volume of the circuit breaker is smaller and smaller, and the structure is more and more compact, and the Hall sensor is mainly used as an external accessory, which is connected in series with the circuit breaker and installed in the electrical circuit, and this structure cannot directly control the actuator of the circuit breaker and cut off the circuit in time, thereby reducing the response speed of the circuit breaker.

In use, independent installation and maintenance are required, which is inconvenient. Content of the utility model
