[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model discloses a leakage current protection plug, including a housing 1, a mounting base 2 inside the housing 1, a pin assembly 3 with one end passing through the housing 1 on the mounting base 2, a circuit board 4 with a test circuit and / or self-test circuit connected to the upper part of the mounting base 2, a pair of stationary contacts 5 and a pair of moving contacts 6 corresponding to the stationary contacts 5 on both sides of the mounting base 2, a current transformer 7 and a locking coil assembly 8 that can separate the moving contacts 6 from the stationary contacts 5 after the current transformer 7 detects leakage current, one end of the stationary contact 5 is electrically connected to the pin assembly 3, and the other end of the stationary contact 5 passes through the current transformer 7 and is connected to the circuit board 4, so that the test circuit and / or self-test circuit can form a closed loop through the stationary contact 5.

[0025] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the circuit integrates a self-test circuit A and a test circuit B, wherein the self-test circuit can periodically check the working status of the equipment, and the test circuit allows the user to manually test the leakage protection function.

[0026] The stationary contact 5 passes through the current transformer 7, enabling the current transformer 7 to monitor the current difference between the stationary contacts 5. This allows the test circuit and self-test circuit, which form a closed loop with the stationary contacts 5, to perform their respective functions. One end of the stationary contact 5 is electrically connected to the pin assembly 3, ensuring the self-test circuit has continuous self-testing capability. In the event of leakage, the latching coil assembly 8 causes the moving contact 6 to disengage from the stationary contact 5, cutting off the current supply.

[0027] In one embodiment, the self-test circuit includes a timing circuit and a built-in microcontroller, which enables the self-test circuit to periodically activate a test current small enough not to cause an actual trip but sufficient to be caught by the current transformer 7, thereby confirming the sensitivity of the current transformer 7.

[0028] By setting the stationary contact 5 through the current transformer 7 and using the stationary contact 5 as part of the current path, the test circuit and the self-test circuit can directly form a closed loop through the stationary contact 5, which has the advantages of simplifying internal wiring, improving installation and maintenance efficiency, and optimizing space utilization.

[0029] The pin assembly 3 includes a first pin 31 and a second pin 32. One end of the first pin 31 and the second pin 32 extends to the circuit board 4 and is electrically connected to the corresponding stationary contact 5. The first pin 31 and the second pin 32 can be directly connected to the stationary contact 5 by soldering or crimping, thereby forming part of the current path from the power grid to the load side.

[0030] The housing 1 is connected to a test button 9 that can move vertically. The circuit board 4 has a test circuit. One end of the test button 9 extends out of the housing 1, and when the test button 9 moves downward, it is electrically connected to the circuit board 4 and conducts the test circuit. When the test button 9 is pressed, its electrical connection with the circuit board 4 is activated, thereby conducting the test circuit.

[0031] In one embodiment, after the test button 9 is pressed, the test circuit sends a test current. After the current transformer 7 detects the test current, it causes the moving contact 6 to disengage from the stationary contact 5 through the latching coil assembly 8, thereby completing the test on whether the latching coil assembly 8 is working properly.

[0032] The latch coil assembly 8 includes a latch coil 81 electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and a pressure rod 82 that can move up and down. The latch coil 81 has an iron core 83 that can move left and right. The iron core 83 is connected to a buckle plate assembly 84 that can move up and down and can move the movable contact piece 6 upward when it moves upward. The pressure rod 82 has a support part 821 that can cooperate with the buckle plate assembly 84 to support the buckle plate assembly 84. The pressure rod 82 is connected to a first elastic element 85 that drives the pressure rod 82 to move upward. The iron core 83 is connected to a second elastic element 86 that drives the iron core 83 to move to the left. When the latch coil 81 is energized, it can drive the iron core 83 to move to the right, thereby causing the buckle plate assembly 84 to separate from the support part 821.

[0033] When the latching coil 81 is energized, the iron core 83 moves to the right, causing the latching plate assembly 84 to separate from the support part 821. This causes the latching plate assembly 84 to lose its support and move downwards, separating the moving contact 6 from the stationary contact 5, thus cutting off the circuit. The first elastic element 85 is used to move the pressure rod 82 upwards, and the second elastic element 86 is used to reset the iron core 83, ensuring that the latching coil assembly 8 can return to its initial state after power is cut off.

[0034] The buckle assembly 84 includes a buckle plate 841 and a crossbeam 842 disposed at the lower part of the buckle plate 841. The lower part of the movable contact piece 6 abuts against the upper part of the crossbeam 842. With the crossbeam 842, when the buckle plate 841 moves upward, the crossbeam 842 will drive the movable contact piece 6 to move upward together, thereby realizing the contact between the movable contact piece 6 and the stationary contact piece 5.

[0035] A reset button 822 is connected to the upper part of the pressure rod 82, and one end of the reset button 822 extends out of the housing 1. The user can control the movement of the pressure rod 82 by pressing the reset button 822, thereby restoring the locking coil assembly 8 to its initial state.

[0036] The locking coil assembly 8 is located on the right side of the mounting base 2, and a buckle 21 is provided on the left side of the mounting base 2. The current transformer 7 has a slot 71 that cooperates with the buckle 21. The current transformer 7 is installed on the left side of the mounting base 2, so that the current transformer 7 is positioned close to the power supply end. In one embodiment, the buckle 21 is an elastic buckle, which cooperates with the slot 71 through elastic deformation, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the current transformer 7.

[0037] The right side of the mounting base 2 is connected to a contact plate seat 22, which has two vertically arranged mounting grooves 221. One end of the movable contact 6 passes through the mounting groove 221 and is connected to the circuit board 4.
