Detailed Implementation
[0040] The following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrate the specific implementation of the conductive module and residual current operated circuit breaker of this utility model. The conductive module and residual current operated circuit breaker of this utility model are not limited to the descriptions in the following embodiments.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the residual current operated circuit breaker of this embodiment includes a housing, a current transformer 100 disposed within the housing, and a multi-pole conductive system. The housing typically includes a top cover and a base 800 that fit together. The current transformer 100 has a current transformer through hole, and the current transformer through hole has multiple independently arranged partitioned spaces 101. Figure 8Each pole of the multi-pole conductive system includes a conductive structure passing through the partition space 101 of the current transformer 100. Each pole also includes a contact system and a first terminal 710 and a second terminal 720 respectively disposed at both ends of the base 800 of the housing. The contact system includes a moving contact and a stationary contact respectively connected to the first terminal 710 and the second terminal 720. The moving contact is mounted on a contact support shaft, and the stationary contact is fixedly mounted inside the base 800. The moving contact and the stationary contact are arranged correspondingly. The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker drives the contact support shaft to rotate, so that the moving contact and the stationary contact contact and separate to realize the closing and opening of the circuit breaker. The first terminal 710 is connected to the contact system through a conductive structure. The current transformer 100 is located between the first terminal 710 and the contact system. The conductive structures of each pole's conductive system pass through the current transformer 100 and are connected to the contact system of the corresponding pole. The current transformer 100 is used to collect leakage current. When there is a fault current or electric shock in the circuit connected to the circuit breaker, as long as the fault current reaches the set operating current value, the output signal of the secondary winding of the current transformer is triggered, and the residual current circuit breaker is activated through the leakage current trip unit, thereby cutting off the power supply and providing fault current and electric shock protection.
[0042] like Figure 2-4As shown, the improvement of this application is that it also includes an insulating support 200. The current transformer 100 and the conductive structure of the multi-pole conductive system are respectively mounted on the insulating support 200, forming an integrated conductive module. The insulating support 200 is provided with multiple insulating spaces corresponding to and communicating with the multiple partition spaces 101 of the current transformer 100. The conductive structure of each pole conductive system is installed in the insulating space, with one end extending out of the insulating space and connected to the first terminal 710, and the other end passing through the partition space 101 of the current transformer 100. The multiple insulating spaces include at least one inner insulating space disposed inside the insulating support 200. The insulating support 200 is provided with a connecting hole 211 connecting the inner insulating space and the partition space 101, that is, the conductive structure of at least one pole conductive system is installed in the inner insulating space, with one end extending out of the inner insulating space and connected to the first terminal 710, and the other end passing through the connecting hole 211 of the insulating support 200 and the partition space 101 of the current transformer 100 in sequence. In this embodiment, the conductive module and residual current operated circuit breaker are integrated on the insulating bracket 200 through the current transformer 100 and the conductive structures of each pole to form an integral conductive module. The modular design facilitates automated assembly. Moreover, the conductive structures of each pole pass through the partition space 101 of the current transformer 100 and are installed in the insulating space of the insulating bracket 200. The insulating bracket 200 not only provides insulation for each conductive structure, effectively improving the insulation performance between each conductive system, but also has an internal insulating space for installing the conductive structure. This allows the conductive structure to be separated from other parts of the circuit breaker through the insulating bracket 200, improving the insulation performance and reliability of the conductive system. The insulating bracket 200 also provides installation support for each conductive structure, facilitating automated assembly.
[0043] Furthermore, the plurality of insulating spaces also include at least one external insulating space disposed between the outside of the insulating support 200 and the current transformer 100, that is, the conductive structure of at least one pole conductive system is installed in the external insulating space, one end of which extends out of the external insulating space and is connected to the first terminal 710, and the other end passes through the partition space 101 of the current transformer 100. For example Figure 2 The multi-pole conductive system shown is a four-pole conductive system, namely, an A-pole conductive system, a B-pole conductive system, a C-pole conductive system, and an N-pole conductive system. The insulating bracket 200 has two inner insulating spaces for mounting the conductive structures of the A-pole and B-pole conductive systems, and two outer insulating spaces for mounting the conductive structures of the C-pole and N-pole conductive systems. By distributing multiple conductive systems within the inner insulating spaces of the insulating bracket 200 and the outer insulating spaces between the insulating bracket 200 and the current transformer 100, the insulation and reliability between the conductive systems can be improved. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the insulating bracket 200 may not have outer insulating spaces, but only inner insulating spaces, where the conductive structure of each pole conductive system is installed within the inner insulating space.
[0044] Preferably, the direction in which the conductive structure extends out of the insulating space (i.e. Figure 1 The X direction in the middle) and the direction in which the conductive structure passes through the current transformer 100 (i.e., Figure 1 (The Z direction in the middle) is perpendicular to each other.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the insulating support 200 in this embodiment includes a first insulating plate 210 and a second insulating plate 230 arranged at intervals opposite to each other, as... Figure 5-6 As shown, the first insulating plate 210 has at least one external partition boss 212 protruding from its outer side facing away from the second insulating plate 230, which is connected to the current transformer 100. The external partition boss 212 divides the space between the first insulating plate 210 and the current transformer 100 into at least two external insulating spaces. The first insulating plate 210 has at least one internal partition boss 213 protruding from its inner side facing the second insulating plate 230, which is connected to the second insulating plate 230. The internal partition boss 213 divides the space between the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 into at least two internal insulating spaces. The first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 are arranged at intervals opposite to each other to form an insulating support 200. The first insulating plate 210 has partition bosses on its inner and outer sides, which are used to divide the space on its inner and outer sides into multiple insulating spaces. The insulating support 200 has a simple structure, which not only provides effective insulation but also facilitates assembly.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 of the insulating bracket 200 are separately arranged. One optional connection structure between the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 includes a second slot 215 on the inner partition boss 213 of the first insulating plate 210, and a plug-in plate 231 on the second insulating plate 230 that engages with the second slot 215. The plug-in plate 231 is inserted into the second slot 215. The engagement between the second slot 215 on the inner partition boss 213 of the first insulating plate 210 and the plug-in plate 231 on the second insulating plate 230 facilitates rapid assembly of the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 and also improves the insulation performance between the two inner partition spaces. Another alternative to the connection structure between the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 is that the first insulating plate 210 has a locking hole 216, and the second insulating plate 230 has a protruding buckle 232 that mates with the locking hole 216. The buckle 232 passes through the locking hole 216 and fastens onto the first insulating plate 210. The locking hole 216 of the first insulating plate 210 and the protruding buckle 232 of the second insulating plate 230 mate, making installation convenient and more secure. Of course, as other embodiments, the plug-in and snap-fit methods can be used independently or together. Obviously, the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 of the insulating bracket 200 in this embodiment can also be fixedly connected or integrally connected by other methods.
[0047] Preferably, the current transformer 100 is inserted into or snapped onto the outside of the insulating bracket 200. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the connection structure between the insulating support 200 and the current transformer 100, the outer partition boss 212 of the insulating support 200 is provided with a first slot 214, and the current transformer 100 has a partition structure 102 in its through hole, which divides the through hole into multiple partition spaces 101. The partition structure 102 extends towards the insulating support 200 and provides a plug-in structure 103 that extends out of the through hole and engages with the first slot 214. The partition structure 102 in the through hole extends directly outward to form the plug-in structure 103 for insertion into the insulating support 200, which simplifies the structure, facilitates rapid assembly of the insulating support 200 and the current transformer 100, and also improves the insulation performance between the two outer partition spaces.
[0048] like Figure 1-3As shown, another improvement of this application is to optimize the conductive structure of the multi-pole conductive system. The conductive structure of the multi-pole conductive system includes a first conductive element and a second conductive element. The first conductive element is located on one side of the current transformer 100. The first end of the first conductive element is installed in the insulating space of the insulating bracket 200. The second end of the first conductive element, opposite to the first end, extends out of the insulating space and is connected to the first terminal 710. The first end of the second conductive element passes through the partition space 101 from the other side of the current transformer 100 and is connected to the first end of the first conductive element. The second end of the second conductive element, opposite to the first end, is used to connect to the contact system.
[0049] The first conductive element is a conductive plate structure, and the second conductive element is a wire structure. In a multi-pole conductive system, the conductive structure of only one pole conductive system also includes a terminal block 630. The terminal block 630 of this pole conductive system is connected to the second end opposite to the first end of the second conductive element. The second conductive element of this pole conductive system is connected to the contact system through the terminal block 630. In this embodiment, the first and second conductive elements are separately configured, as are the terminal block 630 and the second conductive element. The first and second conductive elements, and the terminal block 630 and the second conductive element, can be connected by welding or other methods. The portion of the conductive structure used for mounting on the insulating support 200 uses a rigid conductive plate, allowing the insulating support 200 to be directly constructed to limit the structure of the first conductive element. The portion of the conductive structure used for passing through the current transformer 100 uses a flexible wire, facilitating the passage of the second conductive element connected to the first conductive element through the current transformer 100, and allowing for a compact arrangement of the portion of the second conductive element outside the current transformer 100. Obviously, in other embodiments, the second conductive element can also be implemented using a conductive plate, and the first conductive element can also be implemented using a wire.
[0050] Furthermore, the second ends of the first conductive elements of the multi-pole conductive system are arranged in a row and spaced apart on one side of the insulating bracket 200, so as to be directly connected to the row of first terminals 710 in the multi-pole conductive system.
[0051] In this embodiment, the transformer through-hole of the current transformer 100 is integrally formed with the partition structure 102, reducing the number of parts, simplifying assembly, and facilitating automated assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the partition structure 102 can also be an insulating component that is separately formed from the current transformer 100.
[0052] like Figure 2-6As shown, the multi-pole conductive system in this embodiment is a four-pole conductive system, namely, an A-pole conductive system, a B-pole conductive system, a C-pole conductive system, and an N-pole conductive system. The conductive structures of the A-pole conductive system, the B-pole conductive system, the C-pole conductive system, and the N-pole conductive system each include a first conductive element, namely, an A-pole first conductive element 310, a B-pole first conductive element 410, a C-pole first conductive element 510, and an N-pole first conductive element 610. The conductive structures of the A-pole conductive system, the B-pole conductive system, the C-pole conductive system, and the N-pole conductive system each include a second conductive element, namely, an A-pole second conductive element 320, a B-pole second conductive element 420, a C-pole second conductive element 520, and an N-pole second conductive element 620. The N-pole conductive system also includes a terminal block 630.
[0053] In this embodiment, an inner partition boss 213 protrudes from the inner side of the first insulating plate 210, dividing the space between the first insulating plate 210 and the second insulating plate 230 into two inner insulating spaces. The two inner insulating spaces are a first insulating space 240 for installing the A-pole first conductive element 310 and a second insulating space 250 for installing the B-pole first conductive element 410. An outer partition boss 212 protrudes from the outer side of the first insulating plate 210, dividing the space between the first insulating plate 210 and the current transformer 100 into two outer insulating spaces. The two outer insulating spaces are a third insulating space 260 for installing the C-pole first conductive element 510 and a fourth insulating space 270 for installing the N-pole first conductive element 610. Correspondingly, the transformer 100 has four partition spaces 101 in its transformer through hole, namely the first partition space, the second partition space, the third partition space, and the fourth partition space, which are respectively connected to the first insulation space 240, the second insulation space 250, the third insulation space 260, and the fourth insulation space 270; and two connecting holes are provided through the first insulation plate 210, namely the first connecting hole connecting the first partition space and the first insulation space 240, and the second connecting hole connecting the second partition space and the second insulation space 250.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first end of the A-pole first conductive element 310 is installed in the first insulating space 240 and connected to the first end of the A-pole second conductive element 320, which passes through the first partition space and the first connecting hole in sequence; the first end of the B-pole first conductive element 410 is installed in the second insulating space 250 and connected to the first end of the B-pole second conductive element 420, which passes through the second partition space and the second connecting hole in sequence; the first end of the C-pole first conductive element 510 is installed in the third insulating space 260 and connected to the first end of the C-pole second conductive element 520, which passes through the third partition space. The first end of the N-pole first conductive element 610 is installed in the fourth insulating space 270 and is connected to the first end of the N-pole second conductive element 620 that passes through the fourth partition space. The second end of the N-pole second conductive element 620 is connected to the terminal block 630. The second end of the N-pole first conductive element 610 extending out of the fourth insulating space 270, the second end of the A-pole first conductive element 310 extending out of the first insulating space 240, the second end of the B-pole first conductive element 410 extending out of the second insulating space 250, and the second end of the C-pole first conductive element 510 extending out of the third insulating space 260 are arranged in sequence.
[0055] Specifically, the inner dividing boss 213 and the outer dividing boss 212 are two cross-shaped structures oppositely arranged on both sides of the first insulating plate 210, each having four openings.
