Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a circuit breaker, and more particularly to a circuit breaker that is easy to maintain. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation and maintenance of power systems, circuit breakers, as key devices for controlling and protecting electrical equipment, are of paramount importance in terms of reliability and maintainability. Traditional circuit breaker structures often face numerous maintenance challenges in their stationary contact sections after long-term use. During frequent opening and closing operations, the stationary contacts are subjected to arc erosion and current thermal effects, leading to wear, oxidation, and even deformation of the contact surface. However, due to the compact internal layout of traditional circuit breakers, the stationary contacts are often surrounded by complex mechanical structures and electrical connections. During maintenance, technicians need to spend a significant amount of time removing surrounding components to access the stationary contacts. This not only greatly increases the workload and difficulty of maintenance, prolonging maintenance time, but also easily introduces human error during the removal and reinstallation of these components, posing a potential threat to the overall performance and reliability of the circuit breaker. Furthermore, traditional methods of fixing stationary contacts are usually quite complex, involving multiple bolts, nuts, or special snap-fit structures. During disassembly and installation, these small components are easily lost or damaged, further exacerbating the complexity and cost of maintenance.
[0003] Meanwhile, during long-term operation of the arc-extinguishing chamber, the arc-extinguishing medium (such as SF6 gas, vacuum, etc.) inside the chamber gradually deteriorates due to frequent arc interruption. Key components such as the contacts and grid plates also suffer from ablation, wear, and deformation due to the high temperature and high pressure of the arc. However, when maintenance of the arc-extinguishing chamber is required, technicians face numerous difficulties.
[0004] Based on this, an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker, comprising a circuit breaker housing, a stationary contact fixedly provided on one side of the top of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing, a sliding groove fixedly provided in the middle of the top of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing, a slider slidably connected inside the sliding groove, two lifting blocks slidably connected inside the slider, a brush and a scraper fixedly provided at the top of the two lifting blocks respectively, and a rectangular block fixedly provided at the bottom of each of the two lifting blocks.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a movable part is fixedly provided in the middle of the back of the slider, and the movable part is slidably connected to the slide groove.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, there is sliding friction at the connection between the two lifting blocks and the slider, and the sliding friction is much greater than the weight of the lifting blocks, and a slot is provided in the middle of the two rectangular blocks.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an upper terminal block and a lower terminal block are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the circuit breaker housing, respectively.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two mounting plates are movably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing, and a back plate is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one of the mounting plates is slidably connected to the circuit breaker housing via two sliding plates, and an arc extinguisher is fixedly installed on the back plate.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting cylinder is fixedly provided in the middle of the mounting plate, and a connecting groove is fixedly provided in the middle of the connecting cylinder.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model sets up a slider that slides inside the slide groove. When the stationary contact is subjected to frequent opening and closing operations of the circuit breaker, and is affected by arc erosion and current heat effect, resulting in wear and oxidation on the contact surface, the two lifting blocks can be pushed out in sequence, and the stationary contact can be cleaned by scraper and brush respectively, so as to repair the stationary contact.
[0015] 2. This utility model uses a mounting plate and a back plate to fix the arc extinguisher on the back plate. When maintenance is required, the arc extinguisher can be brought out by a sliding plate, which carries out the entire structure of the two mounting plates and the back plate, thus facilitating maintenance.
[0016] In summary, the above design eliminates the need to spend a lot of time disassembling surrounding components when inspecting the stationary contacts and arc extinguishers inside the circuit breaker. This not only greatly reduces the workload and difficulty of maintenance and shortens the maintenance time, but also prevents human error during the removal and reinstallation of these components, thus ensuring the overall performance and reliability of the circuit breaker.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker:
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] according to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker includes a circuit breaker housing 1. An upper terminal 2 and a lower terminal 3 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the circuit breaker housing 1, respectively. A stationary contact 5 is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing 1. A sliding groove 12 is fixedly opened in the middle of the top of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing 1. A slider 6 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 12. A movable part 18 is fixedly provided in the middle of the back of the slider 6. The movable part 18 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 12. Two lifting blocks 13 are slidably connected inside the slider 6. A brush 14 and a scraper 15 are fixedly provided at the top of the two lifting blocks 13, respectively. The brush 14 and the scraper 15 clean the stationary contact 5 from the ablation caused by the electric arc and the thermal effect of the current, which causes wear and oxidation on the contact surface. A rectangular block 16 is fixedly provided at the bottom of each of the two lifting blocks 13.
[0026] according to Figure 3As shown, there is sliding friction at the connection between the two lifting blocks 13 and the slider 6, and the sliding friction is much greater than the weight of the lifting block 13. This prevents the sliding friction from being too small when the lifting block 13 pushes out the brush 14 and scraper 15, which would cause the entire structure to fall and fail to achieve the cleaning effect. The middle of each of the two rectangular blocks 16 is provided with a slot 17, which makes it easy to insert a screwdriver to drive the rectangular block 16 to rise, thereby driving the lifting block 13 to rise.
[0027] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two mounting plates 7 are movably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the circuit breaker housing 1. A back plate 8 is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates 7. One of the mounting plates 7 is slidably connected to the circuit breaker housing 1 through two sliding plates 9. The sliding plates 9 allow the two mounting plates 7 and the back plate 8 to slide out easily, similar to a drawer structure, for the arc extinguisher 4 to be inspected. The arc extinguisher 4 is fixedly installed on the back plate 8. A connecting cylinder 10 is fixedly provided in the middle of one of the mounting plates 7. A connecting groove 11 is fixedly opened in the middle of the connecting cylinder 10. The connecting groove 11 facilitates the insertion of a screwdriver to drive the entire structure to slide out.
[0028] In practical use, this utility model of an easy-to-maintain circuit breaker, when being inspected, first disassembles the circuit breaker housing 1. When the stationary contact 5 is affected by arc erosion and current heat effect, causing wear and oxidation on the contact surface, if the wear and oxidation are minor, a screwdriver can be inserted into the slot 17. Then, by turning the screwdriver upwards, the two rectangular blocks 16 move upwards, thereby causing the corresponding lifting block 13 to rise, so that the brush 14 and scraper 15 can clean and maintain the stationary contact 5. If the wear and oxidation at the stationary contact 5 is minor... When the corrosion is severe, it is necessary to disassemble and replace the related components around the stationary contact 5. When the key components of the arc extinguisher 4, such as the contacts and grid plates, are also burned, worn, or deformed due to the high temperature and high pressure impact of the arc, and the arc extinguisher 4 needs to be repaired, a screwdriver is inserted into the connection slot 11 and then pulled outward. The sliding plate 9 drives the two mounting plates 7 and the back plate 8 to move outward, thereby moving the arc extinguisher 4 outward for repair. There is no need to disassemble the arc extinguisher 4 for repair, which makes the repair more efficient.
