Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically to a circuit breaker shaft buffer and force relief structure. Background Technology
[0002] Existing circuit breakers include a rotating shaft and a moving contact mounted on the rotating shaft. The moving contact is driven by the rotating shaft to achieve rapid opening and closing. However, in scenarios with high breaking capacity or frequent operation, the impact force generated when the moving contact breaks will act on a local area of the rotating shaft. Under long-term impact load, the rotating shaft is prone to cracks or even breakage, thereby shortening the service life of the circuit breaker. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology, such as the shaft being easily broken by the impact of the moving contact and the product having a short service life, so as to provide a circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure with a long service life.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure, including a shaft, a stop block, and an elastic element. The shaft is equipped with a moving contact, which has an installation section, a connecting section, and a contact section connected in sequence. The installation section is assembled with the shaft, and the contact section is equipped with a moving contact. The stop block is movably installed on the shaft and is used to abut against a mating block on the installation section. The elastic element is disposed between the stop block and the shaft, and the elastic element is located on the side of the stop block away from the mating block.
[0005] The rotating shaft includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates, each with a corresponding elongated hole. The stop block is installed between the two mounting plates and has connecting shafts at both ends that extend into the elongated holes. The connecting shafts can move within the elongated holes.
[0006] The elastic element is a spring.
[0007] The stop block is formed with a first positioning groove into which one end of the spring extends, and the rotating shaft is formed with a second positioning groove into which the other end of the spring extends.
[0008] It also includes an air baffle, which has a first cover portion assembled with the moving contact connection section, and a second cover portion integrally connected to the first cover portion and extending between the rotating shaft and the circuit breaker base.
[0009] The first cover is U-shaped, and the two vertical plates of the U-shaped first cover are assembled with the connecting section by rivets.
[0010] The rotating shaft is formed with a movable groove for the connecting section to swing, and the second cover has an air-blocking part extending outward from one end connected to the vertical plate to cover the movable groove.
[0011] The second cover has an arc-shaped structure.
[0012] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. The circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure provided by this utility model includes a shaft, a stop block and an elastic element. When the circuit is broken, the mating block of the moving contact impacts the stop block and then squeezes the elastic element, thereby buffering the impact force of the moving contact and extending the service life of the shaft.
[0014] 2. The circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure provided by this utility model includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates, with corresponding elongated holes on the two mounting plates. During assembly, the connecting shafts at both ends of the stop block are inserted into the corresponding elongated holes, allowing the connecting shafts to move within the elongated holes, thereby allowing the stop block to move relative to the shaft. In addition, even if the stop block is damaged, only the stop block needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0015] 3. The circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure provided by this utility model has a gas baffle with a first cover part assembled with the moving contact connection section, and a second cover part integrally connected with the first cover part and extending to the space between the shaft and the circuit breaker base. The gas baffle can prevent the electric arc from climbing back along the moving contact and burning the contact. On the other hand, it can prevent particulate matter and high-temperature gas from damaging the baffle and conductive system (such as flexible connection), thus ensuring the reliability of the circuit breaker sectional test.

[0028] Example
[0029] This embodiment provides a circuit breaker shaft buffer stress relief structure, such as Figure 3As shown, it includes a rotating shaft 1, a stop block 7, an elastic element 9, and an air baffle 15.
[0030] Rotating shaft 1, equipped with moving contact 2, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the moving contact 2 has a mounting section 3, a connecting section 4, and a contact section 5 connected in sequence. The mounting section 3 is assembled with the rotating shaft 1, and the contact section 5 is equipped with a moving contact 6. The rotating shaft 1 includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates 10, and the two mounting plates 10 are respectively provided with elongated holes 11.
[0031] The stop block 7 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 1 and is used to abut against the mating block 8 on the mounting section 3. The stop block 7 is installed between the two mounting plates 10, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the device has connecting shafts 12 at both ends that extend into the elongated holes 11, and the connecting shafts 12 can move within the elongated holes 11. It should be noted that the connecting shafts 12 can be integrally formed with the stop block 7, or the stop block 7 can be mounted on the rotating shaft 1 through the connecting shaft 12.
[0032] An elastic element 9 is disposed between the stop block 7 and the rotating shaft 1, and the elastic element 9 is located on the side of the stop block 7 away from the mating block 8. The elastic element 9 is a spring, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the stop block 7 is formed with a first positioning groove 13 into which one end of the spring extends, and the rotating shaft 1 is formed with a second positioning groove 14 into which the other end of the spring extends.
[0033] Air deflector 15, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it has a first cover 16 assembled with the connecting section 4 of the moving contact 2, and a second cover 17 integrally connected to the first cover 16 and extending between the rotating shaft 1 and the circuit breaker base 18. The first cover 16 is U-shaped, and the two vertical plates 19 of the U-shaped first cover 16 are assembled with the connecting section 4 by rivets 20. The rotating shaft 1 is formed with a movable groove 21 for the connecting section 4 to swing. The second cover 17 has an air-blocking part 22 extending outward from the end connected to the vertical plate 19 to block the movable groove 21, thereby preventing electric arc from entering the rear of the rotating shaft from the movable groove. In this embodiment, the second cover 17 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0034] The circuit breaker shaft buffer unloading structure provided by this utility model includes a shaft 1, a stop block 7 and an elastic element 9. When the circuit is broken, the mating block 8 of the moving contact 2 impacts the stop block 7 and then squeezes the elastic element 9, thereby buffering the impact force of the moving contact 2 and extending the service life of the shaft 1.
