Detailed Implementation
[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 and Figure 2 An outdoor vacuum circuit breaker includes a circuit breaker body 10, two mounting bases 20, and a connecting shield assembly 30. The two mounting bases 20 are welded and fixed to opposite sides of the bottom of the circuit breaker body 10, allowing them to support the circuit breaker body 10. The bottoms of the two mounting bases 20 can be bolted to an external mounting bracket, enabling the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker to be installed and used at the desired location. The connecting shield assembly 30 is disposed between the circuit breaker body 10 and the two mounting bases 20, and serves to protect the connecting bolts between the mounting bases 20 and the external mounting bracket, reducing their susceptibility to rainwater corrosion.
[0024] See Figure 3The mounting base 20 may include a bearing portion 21, a support portion 22, a fixing portion 23, and a reinforcing portion 24. The bearing portion 21 and the support portion 22 are respectively formed at the top and bottom of the support portion 22. The bearing portion 21 is welded and fixed to the circuit breaker body 10. The fixing portion 23 has several fixing holes 231, into which bolts connecting the fixing portion 23 to an external mounting bracket can be inserted. A guide groove 232 penetrating the fixing portion 23 is also formed on the fixing portion 23. Both ends of the shield frame 36 in the connecting shield assembly 30 have inclined surfaces that slope towards the guide groove 232, allowing rainwater falling above it to be guided to the guide groove 232 and discharged downwards while the shield bolts are being installed. This reduces the accumulation of rainwater between the two mounting bases 20 and the connecting shield assembly 30. A reinforcing portion 24 is formed between the bearing portion 21 and the support portion 22, and the reinforcing portion 24 is used to improve the mechanical strength of the bearing portion 21 so that it can stably support the circuit breaker body 10. In addition, there is a certain distance between the reinforcing portion 24 and the fixing portion 23 so that the connecting shield assembly 30 has a certain amount of room to move.
[0025] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connecting shield assembly 30 includes a connecting structure and a shield frame 36. The shield frame 36 is suspended below the circuit breaker body 10 using the connecting structure, and the shield frame 36 is movably pressed against the inner side of the two mounting seats 20 using the connecting structure. Shielding grooves 361 are provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the shield frame 36, and the shield frame 36 can use the shielding grooves 361 to cover the bolts used for connecting the two mounting seats 20 to the external mounting bracket. In this embodiment, the connecting structure includes a guide rod 31 fixed to the bottom of the circuit breaker body 10. A slider 32 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 31. The slider 32 is a solid carbon steel block. A limiting baffle with a diameter larger than the diameter of the guide rod 31 is provided at the lower end of the guide rod 31, allowing the slider 32 to be pushed upward above the limiting baffle, and to fall to contact the limiting baffle under gravity when not pushed. Each of the four corners of the slider 32 is rotatably connected to a connecting arm 33. The end of each connecting arm 33 furthest from the slider 32 is rotatably connected to the middle of a folding arm 34, so that when the slider 32 moves axially along the guide rod 31, the connecting arm 33 can drive the folding arm 34 to adjust its folding angle. The bottom ends of the four folding arms 34 are rotatably connected to the shielding frame 36, and the top end of each folding arm 34 is rotatably connected to a lifting seat 35. The four lifting seats 35 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the circuit breaker body 10. When adjusting the folding angle, the four folding arms 34 can drive the shielding frame 36 to move and adjust its position.
[0026] In this embodiment, the folding arm 34 includes an upper arm 341 and a lower arm 342. The adjacent ends of the upper arm 341 and the lower arm 342 are rotatably connected to the adjacent connecting arm 33 by a pin. The top end of the upper arm 341 is rotatably connected to the lifting base 35, and the bottom end of the lower arm 342 is rotatably connected to the shielding frame 36.
[0027] During installation or disassembly, the user can push and support the cover frame 36 to separate it from the two mounting seats 20. At this time, the bolts connecting the mounting seats 20 and the external mounting bracket can be tightened or loosened. After installation, the cover frame 36 is loosened, allowing it to slide down under the push of the four folding arms 34 and press against the bottom of the two mounting seats 20, thus protecting the bolts. Furthermore, through the cooperative arrangement of the cover assembly 30 and the mounting seats 20, when the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker is installed and used on the external mounting bracket, the cover frame 36 can cover the connection points, reducing the corrosive effects of external rainwater on the bolts at the connection points, thereby improving the stability of the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker installation.
[0028] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
