[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] This invention provides a circuit breaker mechanism based on a pneumatic principle. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. The pneumatic circuit breaker mechanism, by setting an adjusting component within the device, allows the check valve, the first solenoid valve, the first three-way valve, two sets of first conduits, the air tank, the second conduit, the pressure gauge, the second three-way valve, the air supply pipe, the second solenoid valve, and the air compressor to cooperate with each other. As needed, when the corresponding air tank needs to be replenished, the supply end of compressed gas is switched to another set of air tanks with built-in compressed air. This facilitates the subsequent air supply to the main body of the pneumatic circuit breaker, prevents the need to replenish the air tank from affecting the air supply to the main body of the pneumatic circuit breaker, improves the efficiency of the device, and achieves uninterrupted air supply to the main body of the pneumatic circuit breaker.
[0017] 2. This pneumatic circuit breaker mechanism incorporates a filter within the device.

When the water-absorbing bag needs to be replaced, the third three-way valve is reversed. At this time, the air compressor draws air from the outside through the extraction pipe, the third three-way valve, another set of housings, a water-absorbing bag, and a filter plate. The original filter plate and threaded ring on the housing are rotated to separate the filter plate from the housing, and the water-absorbing bag inside the housing is replaced. Then, all components are reset. This setup provides pre-filtration and dehumidification for the air drawn by the air compressor, preventing solid impurities and moisture from entering the air storage end and affecting the main operation of the pneumatic circuit breaker. Furthermore, switching the extraction direction facilitates the replacement of the molecular sieve inside the corresponding water-absorbing bag. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions:
[0025] First embodiment: A pneumatic circuit breaker mechanism, including a base plate 1, on which a pneumatic circuit breaker assembly is mounted, the circuit breaker assembly including: a controller 2, fixedly connected to the upper side of the base plate 1;
[0026] Adjusting component 3, installed on the upper side of base plate 1 for adjusting the pneumatic end, includes an air compressor 38 fixedly connected to the upper side of base plate 1.

The bottom of the two sets of storage components 34 is connected to a second three-way valve 35 for switching the compressed air supply source. A first solenoid valve 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second three-way valve 35. A check valve 31 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the first solenoid valve 32.
[0027] The pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base plate 1; the injection pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the check valve 31 and the left side of the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 respectively to supply air to the inside of the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4; the controller 2 is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve 32, the first three-way valve 33, the second three-way valve 35, the second solenoid valve 37, the air compressor 38, and the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 respectively; the storage component 34 includes a first conduit 341 fixedly connected to the side of the second three-way valve 35, an air tank 342 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first conduit 341, a second conduit 343 fixedly connected to the side of the first three-way valve 33 fixedly connected to the bottom of the air tank 342, a pressure gauge 344 fixedly connected to the front of the air tank 342 for detecting air pressure, and a set of support plates fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the base plate 1 near the air tank 342 respectively; the pressure gauge 344 is electrically connected to the controller 2;
[0028] The air tank 342 is fixedly connected to the first conduit 341 and the second conduit 343 respectively through two sets of first flanges. The support plate has a movable groove near the two sets of first flanges. The check valve 31, the first solenoid valve 32, the first three-way valve 33, the two sets of first conduits 341, the air tank 342, the second conduit 343, the pressure gauge 344, the second three-way valve 35, the air supply pipe 36, the second solenoid valve 37, and the air compressor 38 cooperate with each other. As needed, when the corresponding air tank 342 needs to be replenished, the supply end of the compressed gas is switched to another set of air tanks 342 with built-in compressed air, which helps to supply air to the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 in the future.
[0029] The main difference between the second implementation method and the first implementation method is that:
[0030] The filter element 39 includes an air extraction pipe 391 fixedly connected to the right air extraction end of the air compressor 38. A third three-way valve 392 for switching air extraction is fixedly connected to the right side of the air extraction pipe 391. A set of housings 393 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the third three-way valve 392 respectively. A water absorption bag 394 is slidably connected inside the housing 393. A filter plate 395 is installed on the side of the housing 393 away from the third three-way valve 392.
[0031] The third three-way valve 392 is fixedly connected to the two sets of housings 393 respectively through the second flange. The water absorption bag 394 is filled with granular molecular sieve. The filter plate 395 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 393. The housing 393 is threadedly connected to the threaded ring. The surface of the filter plate 395 is provided with several filter holes for filtering impurities. The third three-way valve 392 is electrically connected to the controller 2.
[0032] During the process of air compressor 38 drawing air from the outside through air extraction pipe 391, third three-way valve 392, a set of housings 393, water suction bag 394, and filter plate 395, the filter plate 395 filters solid impurities in the gas, and the water suction bag 394 absorbs moisture in the gas. When the water suction bag 394 needs to be replaced, the third three-way valve 392 is reversed. At this time, air compressor 38 draws air from the outside through air extraction pipe 391, third three-way valve 392, another set of housings 393, water suction bag 394, and filter plate 395. The filter plate 395 and threaded ring on the original housing 393 are rotated to separate the filter plate 395 from the housing 393. The water suction bag 394 inside the housing 393 is then replaced, and then all components are reset.
[0033] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.
[0034] In use, the user sends a trip signal through the controller 2, the first solenoid valve 32 opens, and the compressed air in the air tank 342 of the storage unit 34 enters the trip chamber in the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 through the first three-way valve 33, the first solenoid valve 32, and the check valve 31, and pushes the piston to move in the opposite direction, causing the contacts to break. When the circuit in the pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 is overloaded or short-circuited, the heat generated by the current causes the thermal trip device to operate, or the electromagnetic force generated by the short-circuit current causes the electromagnetic trip device to operate, triggering the tripping mechanism, releasing the latch, and the contacts break quickly under the action of the tripping spring or compressed air. The pneumatic circuit breaker body 4 is existing technology, so its internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail.
[0035] During the above process, pressure gauge 344 continuously monitors the air pressure inside air tank 342. After the contact is disconnected, the first solenoid valve 32 is closed. When the air pressure inside air tank 342 decreases to the point where air needs to be replenished, the first three-way valve 33 and the second three-way valve 35 are reversed, and the second solenoid valve 37 and air compressor 38 are opened. Air compressor 38 draws air from the outside through suction pipe 391, third three-way valve 392, a set of housings 393, water-absorbing bag 394, and filter plate 395. Among them, filter plate 395 filters solid impurities in the gas, and water-absorbing bag 394 absorbs moisture in the gas. Then, air compressor 38 compresses the air and injects the compressed air into the original air tank 342 through second solenoid valve 37, air supply pipe 36, second three-way valve 35, and first conduit 341. After the air pressure inside air tank 342 reaches a suitable value, the second solenoid valve 37 and air compressor 38 are closed.
