Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of circuit protection devices, and relates to low-voltage excitation circuit breakers. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of 500V circuit protection, circuit breakers mainly rely on spring mechanisms (such as CN105097280A), electromagnetic tripping mechanisms (such as IEC 60947-2 standard), or hydraulic drive technology to achieve mechanical breaking. Currently, mechanical breaking suffers from mechanical inertia leading to delayed breaking action, making it impossible to suppress current in a very short time, potentially causing an arc explosion. Secondly, insufficient contact separation leads to arc energy accumulation, increasing the volume of the arc-extinguishing chamber and resulting in a bulky design. Furthermore, regarding arc extinguishing methods, most circuit breakers currently use vacuum arc extinguishing and interlocking plate arc extinguishing. The former is more expensive, accounting for about 50% of the total cost of the circuit breaker, while the latter, on 500V and above platforms, requires a huge number of interlocking plates, occupying significant space and incurring high costs. Moreover, under vibration conditions (GB / T 28046.3 standard), interlocking plate displacement >0.2mm leads to uneven arc segmentation and a 30% fluctuation in arc extinguishing time. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-voltage excitation circuit breaker that solves the problems of uneven arc segmentation and low arc extinguishing efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a low-voltage excitation-type circuit breaker connected to the circuit to be protected. It includes a copper busbar layer, with a mounting base and a lower cover fixed above and below the copper busbar layer, respectively. A gas generator is fixedly installed on the mounting base, and a striker is installed directly below the gas generator. The striker is located in the mounting base. A copper busbar runs horizontally through the copper busbar layer, with both ends of the copper busbar extending outside the copper busbar layer. Both ends of the copper busbar are connected in series with the circuit to be protected. The copper busbar is located below the striker, and a pre-break groove is provided at the position corresponding to the striker. A chamber corresponding to the striker is provided in the lower cover, and an arc extinguishing device is provided in the chamber.

[0005] The features of this utility model also include:

[0006] Both the mounting base and the copper busbar layer are hollow structures, and the hollow structures of the mounting base and the copper busbar layer are positioned correspondingly. The striker in the mounting base extends into the copper busbar layer and can move towards the upper surface of the copper busbar.

[0007] The gas generator is a miniature gas generator.

[0008] The mounting base is covered with a metal cover.

[0009] An outer shell is fixed to the outer surface of the metal cover.

[0010] The firing pin includes a movable body, the outer surface of which is in contact with the hollow inner wall of the mounting base. The movable body is located directly below the gas generator. A cutter is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable body, and the bottom of the cutter is directly opposite the pre-cut groove of the copper busbar.

[0011] The bottom cover seals the bottom of the copper busbar layer, and the bottom cover extends towards the copper busbar with an integral narrow slit. The integral narrow slit is located on the central axis of the bottom cover chamber. The top of the integral narrow slit is fixed in the middle position of the copper busbar pre-cut groove. The cutting blade of the firing pin has a guide groove from the bottom to the moving body. The integral narrow slit corresponds to and matches the guide groove.

[0012] The pre-break groove of the copper busbar is thinner than other parts of the copper busbar.

[0013] The arc-extinguishing device is located at the bottom of the lower cover chamber and is made of metal mesh.

[0014] The copper busbar layer is provided with two reserved slots. The depth of the reserved slots is the distance from the lower surface of the copper busbar to the lower surface of the copper busbar layer. The two reserved slots are located at corresponding positions on both sides of the cutting blade of the firing pin.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model of a low-voltage excitation-type circuit breaker features ultra-high-speed breaking capability, high insulation reliability, and long-term stability. Compared with existing circuit breakers, it boasts enhanced compactness and adaptability. It exhibits synergistic effects, high arc extinguishing efficiency, and narrow-slit arc extinguishing. By limiting the arc diffusion space (e.g., shrinking the narrow slit channel), it rapidly elongates the arc and increases arc resistance, accelerating cooling. The metal mesh filter divides the arc, forming multiple short arcs in series. Utilizing the near-cathode effect and dielectric cooling, it reduces the arc temperature. Furthermore, this structure also serves as an arc initiator, achieving a complete process of guiding, dividing, and extinguishing. It is small in size, has fewer components, and lower cost.

[0057] Example 7

[0058] This embodiment provides a low-voltage excitation circuit breaker, which is connected to the circuit requiring protection, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a copper busbar layer 4, with a mounting base 3 and a lower cover 6 fixed above and below the copper busbar layer 4, respectively. The outer surface of the mounting base 3 is covered with a metal cover 2, and the outer surface of the metal cover 2 is fixed with a shell 1. A gas generator 7 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 3. The gas generator 7 is a miniature gas generator, and a striker 8 is installed directly below the gas generator 7. The striker 8 is located in the mounting base 3.

[0059] A copper busbar 5 runs horizontally through the copper busbar layer 4. Both ends of the copper busbar 5 extend out of the copper busbar layer 4 and are connected in series with the circuits that need to be protected. The copper busbar 5 is located below the striker 8. A pre-break groove is provided at the position corresponding to the striker 8. The pre-break groove of the copper busbar 5 is thinner than other parts of the copper busbar 5. A chamber corresponding to the striker 8 is provided in the lower cover 6. An arc extinguishing device is provided at the bottom of the chamber. The arc extinguishing device is a metal mesh 10.

[0060] Both the mounting base 3 and the copper busbar layer 4 are hollow structures, and the hollow structures of the mounting base 3 and the copper busbar layer 4 are positioned correspondingly. The striking pin 8 in the mounting base 3 extends into the copper busbar layer 4, and the striking pin 8 can move towards the upper surface of the copper busbar 5.

[0061] The firing pin 8 includes a movable body. The outer surface of the movable body is in contact with the hollow inner wall of the mounting base 3. The movable body is located directly below the gas generator 7. A cutter is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable body. The bottom of the cutter is directly opposite the pre-cut groove of the copper busbar 5.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the copper busbar layer 4 is provided with two reserved slots 11. The depth of the reserved slots 11 is the distance from the lower surface of the copper busbar 5 to the lower surface of the copper busbar layer 4. The two reserved slots 11 are located at corresponding positions on both sides of the cutter of the firing pin 8.

[0063] The bottom cover 6 seals the bottom of the copper busbar layer 4, and the bottom cover 6 extends towards the copper busbar 5 with an integral narrow slit 9. The integral narrow slit 9 is located on the central axis of the chamber of the bottom cover 6. The top of the integral narrow slit 9 is fixed in the middle position of the pre-cut groove of the copper busbar 5. The cutter of the firing pin 8 has a guide groove from the bottom to the moving body. The integral narrow slit 9 corresponds to and matches the guide groove.

[0064] When a circuit abnormality is detected, the system issues an instruction to generate a 1.2A current. The miniature gas generator 7 detonates within less than 2ms. After detonation, it pushes the striker 8 downward in a straight line to break the copper busbar 5. The copper busbar 5 is broken from the pre-break slot. The contacts at the broken point of the copper busbar 5 are bent to both sides and enter the reserved slot 11 of the copper busbar layer 4. The striker 8 continues to move downward until it reaches the limit position, completely sealing and isolating the contacts into the reserved slot 11. The metal mesh plays an arc-extinguishing role for the electric arc entering the chamber.

[0065] With the above structure, the low-voltage excitation circuit breaker adopts a new power source and a hybrid arc extinguishing method to quickly and efficiently complete power outage and arc extinguishing.

[0066] This embodiment represents only a preferred implementation of the low-voltage excitation circuit breaker of this utility model. Any low-voltage excitation circuit breaker designed with similar technical features to this utility model will fall within the protection scope of the low-voltage excitation circuit breaker of this utility model.

[0067] The main functions of each component of this low-voltage excitation-type circuit breaker are as follows:

[0068] The outer shell 1 serves to protect the internal structure, while the metal cover 2 enhances the overall protective performance.

[0069] Mounting base 3 provides mounting positions for key components such as miniature gas generator 7 and firing pin 8, ensuring their relative positional accuracy.

[0070] Copper busbar layer 4 is used to fix copper busbar 5, which is a conductive component and undertakes the function of current transmission.

[0071] The bottom cover 6 seals the bottom and together with other components, forms a sealed cavity.

[0072] The miniature gas generator 7 is the core component that generates driving force, and the firing pin 8 moves under its action.

[0073] The integrated narrow slit 9 and the lower cover 6 are a whole, which not only serves to extinguish the arc but also guides the downward linear movement of the striker 8. The metal mesh 10 plays the role of extinguishing the arc and preventing the arc from spreading.

[0074] The impact pin 8 is accurately installed through the pre-drilled slot on the mounting base 3, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the impact pin's movement.

[0075] The copper busbar 5 is injection molded into the copper busbar layer 4, and is installed by cooperating with the cylindrical protrusion on the narrow slit 9 of the lower cover 6 through the round hole in the middle of the copper busbar 5, ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0076] The metal mesh 10 is directly pressed into the lower cover 6, and the components are fixed by bolts and nuts to form a complete low-voltage excitation circuit breaker structure.

[0077] The working principle of this low-voltage excitation-type circuit breaker is as follows:

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, firstly, the low-pressure excitation signal triggers the micro gas generator 7 to work. The high-pressure gas generated by the micro gas generator 7 quickly pushes the striker 8 downward in a straight line. The cutter of the striker 8 strikes the copper busbar 5 with a certain speed and force, causing the copper busbar 5 to break at the pre-break slot. The contacts formed at the break point of the copper busbar 5 then open to both sides and fall into the reserved slot 11, realizing the circuit disconnection.

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, the striking pin 8 continues to move downwards to the limit position, at which point an isolation space is formed between the striking pin 8 and the lower cover 6, preventing the electric arc from spreading upwards. Simultaneously, the metal mesh 10 intercepts and cools the electric arc, quickly extinguishing it. Throughout the entire process, all components work closely together to ensure the normal operation and safety of the circuit breaker.

[0080] The above provides a detailed description of a low-voltage excitation circuit breaker provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the structure and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
