[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Referring to the above figures, the tripping and reset device of a leakage current protection plug provided by this utility model includes a housing 1 and an electromagnetic mechanism 2 and a circuit board 3 disposed within the housing 1. The circuit board 3 is electrically connected to two sets of stationary contacts 4 and moving contacts 5. The lower end of the stationary contact 4 is provided with a stationary contact 6, and the moving contact 5 is provided with a moving contact 7 aligned with the stationary contact 6. The moving contact 5 has elasticity that allows the moving contact 7 to disengage from the stationary contact 6. A reset button 8 is provided at the top of the housing 1, and the lower end of the reset button 8 has a pull rod 9 passing through the circuit board 3. A first spring 10 is sleeved on the traction rod 9 between the circuit board 3 and the housing 1. The housing 1 has a middle frame 11, within which a contact support 12 is movably mounted. Support rods 13 extending outwards are located on both sides of the contact support 12. The moving contact piece 5 abuts against the upper end of the support rod 13. The electromagnetic mechanism 2 includes a moving iron core 14, which is linked to the traction rod 9 via the contact support 12. The contact support 12 can drive the moving contact piece 5 to move, causing the moving contact 7 to contact or disengage from the stationary contact 6. The guide rod 9 has first openings 15 on both its left and right sides. The contact support member 12 has a locking block 16 on its front that can be inserted into the first opening 15 and a groove 17 on its back. The locking block 16 has an outwardly inclined surface 18. The moving iron core 14 has a chuck 19 that can move within the groove 17. The groove 17 has a second opening 20 to allow the moving iron core 14 to move up and down. The width of the second opening 20 is smaller than the width of the chuck 19. The middle frame 11 has a vertical opening 21 to allow the support rod 13 to move. The frame 11 is provided with a cavity 22 for accommodating the electromagnetic mechanism 2. The electromagnetic mechanism 2 includes a frame 23, a coil wound on the frame 23, and a stationary iron core. A second spring is provided between the stationary iron core and the moving iron core 14. Multiple limit buckles 24 are provided on both sides of the middle frame 11. The circuit board 3 is inserted into the limit buckle 24. The housing 1 includes an upper housing 25 and a lower housing 26. The upper housing 25 and the lower housing 26 are detachably connected by multiple bolts 27. The middle frame 11 is limited by the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 26 abutting against each other.

[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] When an electrical device connected to the leakage protection plug experiences a leakage fault, the electromagnetic mechanism 2 is energized, causing the moving iron core 14 to move inward and engage with the stationary iron core. The moving iron core 14 drives the contact 7 support to rotate clockwise, causing the locking block 16 to disengage from the first opening 15. The contact support 12 moves downward under its own weight and the elasticity of the moving contact piece 5, causing the moving contact 7 to disengage from the stationary contact 6, thus completing the power cut-off. After the fault is cleared, the electromagnetic mechanism 2 is de-energized, and the second spring pushes the moving iron core 14 outward, causing the contact support 12 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, pressing the reset button 8 activates the traction mechanism. The guide rod 9 moves downward, and the traction rod 9 applies pressure to the inclined plane 18, causing the contact support 12 to rotate slightly clockwise, preventing the locking block 16 and the lower end of the traction rod 9 from jamming. The locking block 16 can abut against the inner side of the traction rod 9, allowing the traction rod 9 to continue moving downward. Continue pressing the reset button 8 until the locking block 16 is inserted into the first opening 15, and then release the reset button 8. The reset button 8 and the contact support 12 move upward under the force of the first spring 10. The contact support 12 drives the moving contact piece 5 to bend upward, causing the moving contact 7 to abut against the stationary contact 6 and energize it.

[0022] In this embodiment, the locking plate in the prior art is omitted, making the structure simpler and more compact, reducing the size of the leakage protection plug and lowering production costs. The vertical opening 21 provides space for the support rod 13 to move up and down, while preventing the contact support 12 from swaying in other directions during its up and down movement, making the contact support 12 move more accurately. The circuit board 3 is inserted into the limiting buckles 24 on both sides of the middle frame 11 for fixation, resulting in higher structural stability.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
