Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically to a miniature residual current circuit breaker with high reliability. Background Technology

[0002] As low-voltage power distribution systems develop towards miniaturization and modularization, miniature circuit breakers, as core components of circuit protection, have become an important direction for technological improvement in terms of reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0003] When replacing a traditional circuit breaker, the operator needs to disconnect all wire connections at all terminals before rewiring after replacing the new circuit breaker. This process is particularly cumbersome for multi-pole circuit breakers (such as 4P circuit breakers): typically, eight wires (four incoming and four outgoing) need to be handled simultaneously. In the confined space of a distribution box, these wires are prone to tangling and misalignment after disassembly, requiring repeated comparisons and confirmations of phase relationships during rewiring. Therefore, the entire wiring process is quite complicated.

[0004] Therefore, a reliable miniature residual current circuit breaker is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a reliable miniature residual current circuit breaker in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A reliable miniature residual current circuit breaker includes a mounting frame, a circuit breaker body is disposed inside the mounting frame, locking mechanisms for limiting the position of the circuit breaker body are disposed on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame, a wire positioning mechanism is disposed on the surface of the mounting frame, and mounting ears are fixedly connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the mounting frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a baffle plate, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame. A positioning seat is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame. A sliding groove is provided through the side of the mounting frame. A connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a pin, which is movably inserted into the inner wall of the positioning seat. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame. A spring is fixedly connected between the other end of the connecting rod and the fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the wire positioning mechanism includes a mounting rod, the mounting rod has a slot on its front side, a first threaded rod is rotatably connected to the center of the front side of the mounting rod, a first knob is fixedly connected to the front end of the first threaded rod, and a C-shaped rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the first threaded rod, with both ends of the C-shaped rod being movably inserted into the surface of the mounting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot, and the anti-slip pad is made of rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of conductor positioning mechanisms is two sets, and the two sets of conductor positioning mechanisms are located above the circuit breaker body and below the circuit breaker body, respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting frame is threaded with a second threaded rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the mounting rod, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a second knob. Both ends of the mounting rod are fixedly connected to locking blocks, and the locking blocks are slidably connected to the surface of the mounting frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a reliable miniature residual current circuit breaker includes a mounting frame 1, with a circuit breaker body 2 disposed inside the mounting frame 1. Locking mechanisms 3 for limiting the circuit breaker body 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1. A wire positioning mechanism 4 is also provided on the surface of the mounting frame 1. Mounting ears 8 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the mounting frame 1. More specifically, the mounting frame 1 can be fixed by the mounting ears 8 and bolts. The circuit breaker body 2 can be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 by the locking mechanisms 3. Wires are connected to the circuit breaker body 2. Multiple wires can be separated and fixed using the wire positioning mechanism 4. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the circuit breaker body 2, the wire positioning mechanism 4 keeps the wires stable. By releasing the limiting of the circuit breaker body 2 by the locking mechanism 3, the circuit breaker body 2 can be quickly disassembled.

[0026] The locking mechanism 3 includes a baffle 301, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. A positioning seat 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. A sliding groove 303 is provided through the side of the mounting frame 1. A connecting rod 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 303. One end of the connecting rod 304 is fixedly connected to a pin 305, and the pin 305 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the positioning seat 302. A fixing plate 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame 1. A spring 307 is fixedly connected between the other end of the connecting rod 304 and the fixing plate 306. It should be noted that by pressing the connecting rod 304, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 307, the connecting rod 304 will slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 303. The connecting rod 304 will drive the plug 305 to disengage from the inner wall of the positioning seat 302, thereby releasing the limitation on the circuit breaker body 2, so that the circuit breaker body 2 can be quickly disassembled. During the installation process, the baffle 301 can guide and limit the positioning seat 302, making it easy to determine the position of the circuit breaker body 2.

[0027] The wire positioning mechanism 4 includes a mounting rod 401. A slot 402 is formed on the front of the mounting rod 401. A first threaded rod 405 is rotatably connected to the center of the front of the mounting rod 401. A first knob 406 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first threaded rod 405. A C-shaped rod 404 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first threaded rod 405, and both ends of the C-shaped rod 404 are movably inserted into the surface of the mounting rod 401. More specifically, during installation, the wire is pre-inserted into the slot 402. Then, by rotating the first knob 406, the first threaded rod 405 rotates, and under the action of the thread, the C-shaped rod 404 moves, causing it to press against the surface of the wire, thus limiting the wire's position.

[0028] An anti-slip pad 403, made of rubber, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot 402. It should be noted that by setting the rubber anti-slip pad 403, the friction between the pad and the wire surface can be increased, making the wire more stable inside the slot 402, and the rubber material is less likely to cause pressure damage to the wire surface.

[0029] There are two sets of conductor positioning mechanisms 4, with the two sets located above and below the circuit breaker body 2, respectively. More specifically, by setting two sets of conductor positioning mechanisms 4, it is convenient to limit the incoming and outgoing lines respectively.

[0030] A second threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 1, with one end of the second threaded rod 6 rotatably connected to the mounting rod 401 and the other end of the second threaded rod 6 fixedly connected to a second knob 7. Both ends of the mounting rod 401 are fixedly connected to locking blocks 5, which are slidably connected to the surface of the mounting frame 1. It should be noted that rotating the second knob 7 causes the second threaded rod 6 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the second threaded rod 6 will move, thereby pushing the mounting rod 401 to move, allowing the conductor end to approach or move away from the circuit breaker body 2. This makes installing and removing the conductor more convenient. When the mounting rod 401 moves, it causes the locking blocks 5 to slide along the surface of the mounting frame 1, ensuring stable movement of the mounting rod 401.

[0031] In summary: The mounting frame 1 can be fixed by using the mounting lugs 8 and bolts. The circuit breaker body 2 can be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 by the locking mechanism 3. The wires are connected to the circuit breaker body 2. Multiple wires can be separated and fixed by the wire positioning mechanism 4. When the circuit breaker body 2 needs to be disassembled and replaced, the wire positioning mechanism 4 can keep the wires stable. By releasing the limit on the circuit breaker body 2 by the locking mechanism 3, the circuit breaker body 2 can be quickly disassembled. In use, it achieves the effect of effectively limiting the wires connected to the circuit breaker. When rewiring, there is no need to repeatedly compare and confirm, making the wiring process more convenient and effectively improving the replacement efficiency of the circuit breaker.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
