Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breakers, specifically to a circuit breaker handle. Background Technology
[0002] As the core operating component of a mechanical circuit breaker, the circuit breaker handle is rigidly connected to the internal contact mechanism through a rotating shaft. It relies on the lever principle to transmit operating force. The mechanical impact at the moment of opening and closing is directly transmitted to the handle. The structure is simple but lacks a buffer design. Long-term use can easily lead to deformation or breakage of the handle. In addition, the traditional lever structure has not optimized the lever arm ratio. The operation of the high-current circuit breaker handle requires a lot of force, which is not user-friendly for women and the elderly. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a circuit breaker handle.
[0004] To address the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: a circuit breaker handle, comprising a handle body and a telescopic handle. The handle body includes a rotating shaft for hinged to a base, a connecting part for engaging with a pin, and a handle portion disposed outside the housing and connected to the telescopic handle. The telescopic handle is hollow and is sleeved on the handle portion and slides up and down along the handle portion. Elastic limiting clips are provided on both sides of the handle portion to limit the handle portion from disengaging from the telescopic handle. Buffer strips are provided on the front and rear sides of the handle portion in the rotation direction at the positions where it contacts the housing during opening and closing.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can be adjusted to a retracted state to fit snugly against the circuit breaker surface under normal conditions, reducing space occupation. When operating, pulling the telescopic handle optimizes the lever arm and reduces the force required to operate. At the same time, compared with the existing handles which are shorter in length, the telescopic handle can be adapted to different hand shapes of users, making it widely applicable. The use of an elastic limit locking part facilitates quick assembly and ensures high stability. A buffer bar is set to absorb the mechanical impact caused by the handle rotating and hitting the front and rear inner walls of the rotating groove of the housing during opening and closing, reducing the risk of handle breakage and extending the service life of the mechanism, especially suitable for high current circuit breakers.
[0006] The present invention further includes: a mounting groove adapted to the buffer strip is provided on the handle body corresponding to the position of the buffer strip; the mounting groove has an opening on one side; the length of the buffer strip is adapted to the mounting groove; the mounting groove is provided with an anti-detachment part to prevent the buffer strip from falling off in the front-to-back direction; and the buffer strip is higher than the handle body.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting slot is open on one side to facilitate the assembly and replacement of the buffer strip, and the mounting slot is closed on the other side to provide quick positioning and limiting. An anti-detachment part (i.e., the mounting slot adopts an I-shaped groove, dovetail groove, etc.) is set to prevent the buffer strip from falling off from the front and back directions.
[0008] The present invention further includes: a sliding channel is provided at one end of the handle corresponding to the telescopic handle, and a sliding post adapted to the sliding channel is provided inside the telescopic handle.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding column moves along the sliding channel, with dual guidance, resulting in higher stability of the telescopic handle.
[0010] The present invention further includes a spring sleeve on the sliding column, the spring being disposed between the telescopic handle and the handle body.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring is sleeved outside the sliding column, and the spring is compressed or restored along the sliding column, resulting in higher stability and quick unfolding of the telescopic handle for convenient use.
[0012] The present invention further includes: positioning recesses on both sides of the handle body, and arc transition sections on both the upper and lower sides of the positioning recesses; the telescopic handle includes an open end that slides along the handle body, and elastic protrusions that cooperate with the positioning recesses are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the open end; the cross-section of the elastic protrusions is semi-circular.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a distinct "click" sensation is produced during operation. The retracted state of the positioning handle allows it to fit snugly against the surface of the circuit breaker, reducing space occupation. At the same time, an arc transition section is set. When it is necessary to release the retracted state, only a slight force is needed to pull the retracted handle outward, which will allow the elastic protrusion to disengage from the positioning recess, making the operation simple and effortless.
[0014] The present invention further includes: the telescopic handle includes an operating part, the operating part is T-shaped, the side of the operating part corresponding to the handle body is provided with anti-slip texture, and the other side of the operating part opposite to the anti-slip texture is provided with a switch mark.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating part is equipped with anti-slip texture, making the operating handle less prone to slipping. In addition, a switch mark is set, which is laser-engraved to ensure that the status is clearly identifiable and to avoid the mark becoming blurred after long-term use.
[0016] The present invention further comprises: a receiving cavity for accommodating a torsion spring is provided on the side of the rotating shaft; a positioning groove for positioning one end of the torsion spring is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the receiving cavity; a rotating column coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft is provided at the center of the receiving cavity; and the height of the rotating shaft is adapted to the depth of the receiving cavity.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a positioning slot is set to fix one end of the torsion spring (the other end of the torsion spring is fixed on the base), which facilitates quick installation of the torsion spring and makes the assembly and fixing of the torsion spring more stable. A receiving cavity and a rotating column are set, and the torsion spring is set in the receiving cavity to limit the torsion spring. The torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the rotating column. When the handle is turned, the torsion spring rotates and deforms around the rotating column as the axis, which further improves the stability of the torsion spring during the stress or recovery process.
[0018] The present invention further includes: the connecting part is provided with a receiving channel adapted to the pin, and the outer side of the connecting part is provided with a limiting part for limiting the rotation angle of the handle body.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to assemble and fix the pin, and at the same time, the limiting part is set to limit the rotation angle of the handle, thereby improving the stability of the hinge. Attached Figure Description
