Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically relating to a circuit breaker mechanism anti-rebound device. Background Technology

[0002] In low-voltage power distribution lines, circuit breakers distribute electrical energy and protect lines and power equipment from overload, short circuits, and other faults. With the strong promotion of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, the requirements for circuit breakers in their distribution lines are becoming increasingly stringent, demanding higher voltage, higher breaking capacity, and higher short-term withstand capability. Ordinary circuit breakers below 1000V can no longer meet these requirements. One major drawback limiting the breaking performance of circuit breakers is the rebound of the moving contact during the breaking process. During circuit breaker breaking, the operating mechanism is subjected to significant force impact. Since the operating mechanism is often composed of rigid parts, the impact causes the moving contact to rebound, typically exceeding half of the contact opening distance. This rebound can cause arc reignition when the circuit breaker breaks large currents, severely affecting its breaking performance and leading to damage to power distribution lines and equipment, as well as personal injury and property accidents.

[0003] The existing circuit breaker operating mechanism anti-rebound contact structure mostly relies on the locking of structural components. This structure requires a dedicated reset mechanism to unlock it, which is complex, cumbersome to assemble, and prone to causing the circuit breaker to fail to operate if the unlocking structure fails.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 The circuit breaker mechanism anti-rebound device shown includes: an operating mechanism 1, a rotating shaft 2, a cantilever 3, a connecting rod 4, a left cantilever assembly 5, a left swing arm assembly 6, a limiting shaft 7, a right swing arm assembly 8, a right cantilever assembly 9, a pin 10, a rotating shaft 11, a spring 11A, a spring 11B, a limiting oblong hole 101, a limiting arc surface 102, a limiting arc surface 2 103, and a shaft hole 104.

[0023] The operating mechanism 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 and provides power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 2; the cantilever 3 is mounted on the rotating shaft 2; one end of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the cantilever 3, and the other end is connected to the contact mechanism.

[0024] The left cantilever assembly 5 and the right cantilever assembly 9 are symmetrically mounted on the rotating shaft 2 and rotate coaxially with the rotating shaft 2; the rotating shaft 11 is respectively mounted on the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8; the left swing arm assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the left cantilever assembly 5 through the rotating shaft 11; the pin shaft 10 is respectively mounted on the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8; the first spring 11A is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11; the right swing arm assembly 8 is rotatably connected to the right cantilever assembly 9 through the rotating shaft 11; the second spring 11B is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11; both the left cantilever assembly 5 and the right cantilever assembly 9 are provided with a limiting arc surface 102; both the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 are provided with a limiting arc surface 103; the limiting shaft 7 is mounted on the operating mechanism 1; the first limiting arc surface 102 and the second limiting arc surface 103 correspond to the limiting shaft 7.

[0025] The left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 have the same structure, and both of them are provided with shaft holes 104 at their ends. The left swing arm assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the left cantilever assembly 5 through a rotating shaft 11 passing through the shaft hole 104; the right swing arm assembly 8 is rotatably connected to the right cantilever assembly 9 through a rotating shaft 11 passing through the shaft hole 104.

[0026] To limit the movement trajectory of the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8, the left cantilever assembly 5 and the right cantilever assembly 9 have the same structure, and both are provided with a limiting waist-shaped hole 101; there are two pins 10, one of which is installed on the left swing arm assembly 6 at one end and sleeved in the limiting waist-shaped hole 101 on the left cantilever assembly 5 at the other end, and similarly, one end of the other pin is installed on the right swing arm assembly 8 and sleeved in the limiting waist-shaped hole 101 on the right cantilever assembly 9 at the other end.

[0027] The left cantilever assembly 5, the left swing arm assembly 6, the right swing arm assembly 8, and the right cantilever assembly 9 are all sheet-like parts.

[0028] Both spring 11A and spring 11B are torsion springs; one end of spring 11A rests on the pivot 2, and the other end rests on the pin 10 of the left swing arm assembly 6; one end of spring 11B rests on the pivot 2 of the right swing arm assembly 8, and the other end rests on the pin 10 of the right swing arm assembly 8, providing a restoring force for the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8.

[0029] Work steps:

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, before the circuit breaker's operating mechanism 1 disconnects, the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 are under the action of the spring 11. At this time, the pins 10 on the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 are inside the upper end of the limiting oblong hole 101, and the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 remain stationary. After the operating mechanism 1 begins to disconnect, the rotating shaft 2 begins to rotate in the direction shown in the figure, driving the cantilever 3, connecting rod 4, left cantilever assembly 5, left swing arm assembly 6, limiting shaft 7, right swing arm assembly 8, and right cantilever assembly 9 to rotate together. Figure 7 As shown, when the limiting arc surface 102 on the left cantilever assembly 5 and the right cantilever assembly 9 rotates to contact the limiting shaft 7 on the operating mechanism 1, it cannot continue to rotate in the direction of rotation due to the restriction of the limiting shaft 7. At this time, the left rocker arm assembly 6 and the right rocker arm assembly 8, due to gravity and inertia, overcome the elastic force of the spring 11 and continue to rotate in the direction of rotation along the shaft hole 104 until the pin 10 reaches the lower end of the limiting waist-shaped hole 101. At this time, the limiting arc surface 103 on the left rocker arm assembly 6 and the right rocker arm assembly 8 contacts the limiting shaft 7 and engages to lock it. At this time, the operating mechanism 1 is impacted, which will cause the rotating shaft 2 to spring back. However, because the limiting arc surface 103 engages with the limiting shaft 7, it prevents the rotating shaft 2 from springing back, thus preventing the moving contact from springing back when the mechanism breaks. Finally, as shown... Figure 8 As shown, when the circuit breaker disconnects, the left swing arm assembly 6 and the right swing arm assembly 8 are respectively acted upon by spring 11A and spring 21B, and reset to their initial positions, that is, the pin 10 is at the upper end of the limiting waist-shaped hole 101, thus completing the entire reset process.

[0031] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the technical solutions disclosed in the specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
