Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a quick opening and closing mechanism for a vacuum circuit breaker includes a vacuum circuit breaker body 1 and an operating base 2. An opening button 3 and a closing button 4 are fixedly provided on one side of the vacuum circuit breaker body 1. A gear shaft 7 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the operating base 2. A first rack 10 is meshed on both sides of the gear shaft 7. An L-shaped plate 11 is fixedly provided on the upper side of each of the two first racks 10. An operating slide rod 12 for opening and closing operations is slidably connected to one side of each of the two L-shaped plates 11.
[0027] Rubber round pads 14 are fixedly installed on one side of each of the two operating slide rods 12. A first spring 13 is fixedly connected between each of the two operating slide rods 12 and the L-shaped plate 11. The opposite or relative movement of the two operating slide rods 12 can enable the vacuum circuit breaker to achieve opening and closing operations more quickly and reliably. A driven gear 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the gear shaft 7. A second rack 16 meshes with one side of the driven gear 15. A support plate 19 is fixedly provided on one side of the second rack 16. A side plate 21 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the operating base 2. An electric push rod 20 is fixedly installed between the side plate 21 and the support plate 19.
[0028] A trip label 5 and a closing label 6 are affixed to one side of the vacuum circuit breaker body 1. The trip label 5 and the closing label 6 are used to mark the trip button 3 and the closing button 4, making it easy to distinguish between them. The upper side of the operating base 2 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically distributed limit seats 8. A T-shaped slide plate 9 is slidably connected to one side of each limit seat 8. The T-shaped slide plate 9 can move inside the limit seat 8 to limit and guide the movement trajectory of the two first racks 10, allowing the two operating slide rods 12 to perform tripping and closing operations smoothly. One side of the T-shaped slide plate 9 is fastened to the first rack 10. A limit box 17 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the operating base 2.
[0029] A cross slide plate 18 is slidably connected to one side of the limiting box 17. One side of the cross slide plate 18 is fastened to the second rack 16. The cross slide plate 18 can move inside the limiting box 17 so that the second rack 16 can drive the driven gear 15 to rotate smoothly and reliably, so that the driven gear 15 can rotate and adjust smoothly.
[0030] Two symmetrically distributed reinforcing blocks 23 are fixedly installed on one side of the vacuum circuit breaker body 1. Vertical rods 24 are fixedly installed on the upper side of each of the two reinforcing blocks 23. The lower side of the operating base 2 is snapped onto the two vertical rods 24. A stop block 25 for fixing the operating base 2 is snapped onto one side of each of the two vertical rods 24. Fastening bolts 66 are threaded to both ends of the operating base 2. A connecting plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the vacuum circuit breaker body 1.
[0031] A U-shaped insert plate 27 is snapped onto one side of the connecting plate 26. One side of the U-shaped insert plate 27 passes through the connecting plate 26 and extends to the lower side of the operating base 2. Movable locking rods 30 for fixing the U-shaped insert plate 27 are slidably connected to one side of each of the two reinforcing blocks 23. A second spring 28 is fixedly connected between each of the two movable locking rods 30 and the reinforcing block 23. A through circular groove 29 is opened inside the U-shaped insert plate 27. One side of the movable locking rod 30 is snapped into the inside of the circular groove 29. The movable locking rod 30 can be used to limit and fix the U-shaped insert plate 27, ensuring the stability of the operating base 2 during assembly.
[0032] One side of the gear shaft 7 passes through the operating base 2 and extends to the lower side of the operating base 2. The two operating slides 12 are located on one side of the opening button 3 and the closing button 4, respectively. The lower side of the operating base 2 is fixedly connected to the protective bottom shell 22.
[0033] The working principle of the fast opening and closing mechanism of the vacuum circuit breaker provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0034] By activating the electric push rod 20, the electric push rod 20 retracts itself, causing the cross slide plate 18 at the second rack 16 to move within the limit box 17. In this way, the second rack 16 can drive the driven gear 15 to rotate. At this time, the driven gear 15 can also drive the gear shaft 7 to rotate. Subsequently, the gear shaft 7 can drive the T-shaped slide plates 9 at the two first racks 10 to move towards each other within the limit seat 8. Then, the operating slide rod 12 with the first spring 13 installed on one of the first racks 10 can move to press the trip button 3. When the electric push rod 20 extends automatically, it causes the gear shaft 7 at the driven gear 15 to rotate in the opposite direction. In this way, the operating slide rod 12 with the first spring 13 installed on the other first rack 10 can move to press the close button 4. The movement adjustment of the two operating slide rods 12 can control the operation of the tripping and closing mechanism, so that the vacuum circuit breaker can be tripped and closed quickly and flexibly. It can also complete the tripping and closing operation stably and reliably, with good safety, ensuring the convenience of using the vacuum circuit breaker's fast tripping and closing mechanism, and ensuring the normal operation of the power system.
[0035] By utilizing the elasticity of the first spring 13, the pressing force of the operating slide rod 12 can be reduced. Combined with the rubber round pad 14 at the operating slide rod 12, the pressing force can be further reduced to buffer and protect the opening button 3 and closing button 4 on the vacuum circuit breaker. Next, the operating base 2 is snapped onto the two vertical rods 24 on the two reinforcing blocks 23, and then the two stops 25 are snapped into the two vertical rods 24. The two fastening bolts 66 are then tightened to position the operating base 2. Then, the two movable locking rods 30, which are equipped with the second spring 28, are pressed down. The U-shaped insert plate 27 is then inserted under the operating base 2. Subsequently, the two elastic movable locking rods 30 are released, allowing them to move into the round groove 29 of the U-shaped insert plate 27. This snap-fit method allows for convenient positioning of the operating base 2, facilitating the rapid assembly of the opening and closing mechanism on the operating base 2 and improving the assembly efficiency of the vacuum circuit breaker's rapid opening and closing mechanism.
[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
