Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically to an electronic molded case circuit breaker. Background Technology
[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device that can connect and disconnect current under normal circuit conditions as well as under abnormal circuit conditions. It is widely used in power distribution systems to distribute electrical energy, infrequently start asynchronous motors, and protect power lines and motors. When power lines and motors experience serious overloads, short circuits, or undervoltage faults, the circuit breaker can automatically disconnect the circuit. After disconnecting the fault current, it generally does not require replacement of parts.
[0003] In terms of protection performance, traditional circuit breaker designs expose the external switch directly to the environment. In industrial environments with high dust levels or chemical corrosion, the long-term reliability and lifespan of the external electronic components may be affected by contaminants such as dust and moisture. If dust or moisture enters the circuit breaker switch contacts and terminal areas, it can lead to problems such as poor contact, decreased conductivity, and increased equipment maintenance costs. Therefore, a circuit breaker that can protect the external switch is needed. Utility Model Content

[0021] Example 1:
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electronic molded case circuit breaker, including an electronic circuit breaker body 1, with mounting mechanisms 2 installed on both sides of the electronic circuit breaker body 1, and positioning blocks 3 fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of both sides of the electronic circuit breaker body 1. The inner cavity of the positioning block 3 has a through hole, and a spiral rod 4 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the upper positioning block 3. A threaded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the surface of the spiral rod 4, and the surface of the threaded sleeve 5 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the lower positioning block 3. An L-shaped plate 6 is attached to the surfaces of the spiral rod 4 and the threaded sleeve 5, and a protective shell 7 is fixedly connected between the two L-shaped plates 6. The two protective shells 7 are connected to each other by a fixing structure on the upper and lower sides, and the material of the protective shell 7 is aluminum alloy.
[0023] Analysis of the above content: When the user needs to protect the external switch on the surface of the electronic molded case circuit breaker, one of the protective shells 7 is placed against the surface of the electronic circuit breaker body 1 (Note: The internal circuit composition of the electronic molded case circuit breaker body 1 has not been changed; it is a conventional electronic molded case circuit breaker. The dimensions and shapes of the positioning block 3, spiral rod 4, threaded sleeve 5, L-shaped plate 6, and protective shell 7 are adjusted according to the model of the electronic molded case circuit breaker body 1). The protective shell 7 is made of aluminum alloy, which has good heat dissipation and high strength, effectively preventing external switches from being switched. Simultaneously, the protective shell 7 inserts the L-shaped plate 6 between the upper and lower positioning blocks 3. Then, the user first inserts the threaded sleeve 5... After inserting the through hole on the positioning block 3, the user inserts the screw rod 4 into the through hole on another positioning block 3, so that both enter the L-shaped plate 6. If the screw rod 4 and the threaded sleeve 5 are aligned vertically, the user rotates the screw rod 4 to rotate it into the threaded sleeve 5. When it rotates to a certain position, the screw rod 4 and the threaded sleeve 5 are connected, and the L-shaped plate 6 is fixed between the two positioning blocks 3. The other protective shell 7 is installed in the same way. Then the user moves one side of the two protective shells 7 toward the middle of the electronic circuit breaker body 1 so that the two protective shells 7 are in a parallel state. Then they are fixed by the fixing structure to isolate the external switch on the electronic molded case circuit breaker from the outside world, thereby completing the problem of protecting the external switch.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: The fixing structure includes a fixing shell 8, two fixing shells 8 are fixedly connected to the left protective shell 7, the left side of the fixing shell 8 is threaded with a hexagonal screw 9, the right side of the hexagonal screw 9 extends into the interior of the fixing shell 8 and is threadedly connected with a movable plate 10, the right side of the movable plate 10 is tightly fitted with a fixing block 11, two fixing blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the right fixing shell 8, the inner cavity of the fixing block 11 is movably connected with a positioning strip 12, the left side of the positioning strip 12 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 10.
[0026] Analysis of the above: When the two protective shells 7 are combined into a parallel state, the user rotates the hexagonal screw 9. During the rotation of the hexagonal screw 9, the movable plate 10 moves within the fixed shell 8. The movable plate 10 moves the two positioning strips 12 into the inner cavity of the fixed block 11. When it moves to the designated position, the movable plate 10 abuts against the fixed block 11. Then the user stops rotating the hexagonal screw 9, fixing the movable plate 10, thereby fixing the two protective shells 7 and keeping them in a parallel state so that they will not open due to accidental collision.
[0027] Example 3:
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: limiting grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the fixed shell 8, and limiting blocks 13 are movably connected to the right side of the inner cavity of the limiting grooves. The two limiting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 10 relative to each other.
[0029] Analysis of the above content: By setting the limit groove and the limit block 13 in combination, the limit groove limits the limit block 13 in a fixed movement trajectory, while the limit block 13 indirectly limits the movable plate 10, so that it will not be misaligned.
[0030] Example 4:
[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: the front and rear sides of the fixing block 11 are fixedly connected with reinforcing blocks 14, and the reinforcing blocks 14 are fixedly connected with the right side fixing shell 8.
[0032] Analysis of the above content: By setting the reinforcing block 14 to reinforce the connection between the fixing block 11 and the right fixing shell 8, the connection between the two will not expand due to vibration and stress during long-term use, preventing the fixing block 11 from falling off the right fixing shell 8 and improving the structural stability.
[0033] Example 5:
[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the installation mechanism 2 includes an installation plate 201, two installation plates 201 are fixedly connected to the electronic circuit breaker body 1, and the installation plate 201 includes threaded holes 202 that match the bolts.
[0035] Analysis of the above content: When installing the circuit breaker on the wall, the user only needs to align the mounting plate 201 with the threaded hole 202 on the installation position, making it parallel to the threaded hole 202 on its own surface, and then simply screw the bolt into the threaded hole 202 to connect the mounting plate 201 to the wall, thereby completing the installation.
[0036] Example 6:
[0037] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: rubber pads 15 are provided at the four corners of the surface of the electronic circuit breaker body 1, and the outer surface of the rubber pads 15 is provided with wavy anti-slip protrusions.
[0038] Analysis of the above content: By setting rubber pads 15 to protect the four corners of the electronic circuit breaker body 1, it is possible to prevent the electronic circuit breaker body 1 from being accidentally bumped and damaged during installation. In addition, the wavy anti-slip protrusions on the surface can improve the anti-slip performance of the rubber pads 15 and buffer external impact forces.
[0039] Example 7:
[0040] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: windows are provided on the front sides of both protective shells 7, and polycarbonate plates 16 are installed in the inner cavities of the windows.
[0041] Analysis of the above content: The polycarbonate plate 16 can be installed in the window opened on the surface of the protective shell 7. The polycarbonate plate 16 itself has high hardness, which can protect the external switch well. Moreover, its transparency allows the user to observe the status of the external switch without opening the protective shell 7.
