Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically to a convenient and quick-installation structure for a miniature circuit breaker. Background Technology
[0002] A circuit breaker is an electrical device used to protect circuits from current damage caused by faults such as overload and short circuit. Its main function is to detect abnormal current and automatically disconnect the circuit when a problem occurs, in order to prevent equipment damage, electrical fires or other dangers. When the current exceeds the set rated value, the thermal element inside the circuit breaker will disconnect the circuit due to the increase in temperature, thereby avoiding circuit overload damage. In the event of a short circuit, the current increases sharply, and the electromagnetic mechanism inside the circuit breaker will be triggered quickly to disconnect the circuit, preventing wires from overheating and fires. Some circuit breakers can automatically resume operation after the fault is cleared, reducing manual intervention.
[0003] When installing a circuit breaker, the circuit needs to be connected to the circuit breaker. However, connecting circuit breakers to circuit breakers is inconvenient, requiring numerous installation tools and screws, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient. Furthermore, the small screws are prone to falling off or being lost during installation, affecting the circuit breaker's proper installation. Some circuit breakers need to be installed on mounting rails inside electrical boxes, but the flange thickness of these rails varies. This makes it difficult to quickly and easily secure circuit breakers to rails with varying flange thicknesses, resulting in poor compatibility. To address these issues, a convenient and quick-installation structure for miniature circuit breakers is proposed. Utility Model Content

A handle groove 9 is provided through the front right side of the first fixing plate 8 to accommodate mounting rails with different flange thicknesses. Several wire holes 10 are provided at the middle of the upper and lower sides of the circuit breaker 1. The interior of the upper wire hole 10... A first contact plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end. Several grooves are provided on the surface of the first contact plate 11 to increase the friction with the incoming line and prevent the incoming line from loosening. A first pressure plate 12 is slidably connected to the lower front end of the inner side of the upper wire hole 10. Several threaded rods 13 are threadedly connected to the upper front end of the circuit breaker 1. The ends of the threaded rods 13 pass through the front side of the circuit breaker 1 and are rotatably connected to the front side of the first pressure plate 12. A connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the threaded rods 13. A rotating handle 15 is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate 14 to facilitate the connection of the incoming line.
[0021] Specifically, a second contact plate 16 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the inner side of the lower wire hole 10. The surface of the second contact plate 16 has several grooves to increase friction with the outgoing wire and prevent loosening. Several sliding rods 17 are slidably connected to the lower front side of the circuit breaker 1. The ends of the sliding rods 17 penetrate the front side of the circuit breaker 1 and are fixedly connected to a second pressure plate 18. The sliding rods 17 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the wire hole 10. A fixing block 19 is fixedly connected to the front side of the sliding rods 17.

[0022] Working principle: When installing circuit breaker 1, first pull the handle slots 9 at both ends forward to move the top plate 7 forward. The first spring 6 is compressed, increasing the installation space inside the T-shaped mounting slot 5. Then, install circuit breaker 1 on the corresponding mounting rail. After moving it to the appropriate position, release the handle slots 9. Under the elastic force of the first spring 6, the first pressure plate 12 moves backward to abut against the side of the mounting rail and fixes circuit breaker 1. After the position of circuit breaker 1 is fixed, connect the circuit by inserting the incoming wire into the upper wire hole 10 and rotating the handle 15. The threaded rod 13 pushes the first pressure plate 12 to move backward and fixes the incoming wire with the first contact plate 11, completing the incoming wire connection. The outgoing wire is inserted into the wire hole 10 at the lower end. The fixing block 19 is slid backward so that the second pressure plate 18 abuts against the outgoing wire. The rotating clamping plate 21 is rotated. Under the guidance of the arc-shaped clamping groove 20, the fixing block 19 will move further backward to fix the outgoing wire. The limiting plate 24 moves upward under the elastic force of the second spring 25 and engages with the lower end of the rotating clamping plate 21 to prevent the rotating clamping plate 21 from rotating and reduce the pressure of the second pressure plate 18 on the outgoing wire.
