Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit breaker monitoring technology, and in particular to a circuit breaker monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Households contain numerous circuit breaker components, and their operational status directly impacts the safety of the power system. Real-time tracking and monitoring of the operating status of these circuit breaker components allows users to promptly grasp various information generated during their operation, thus ensuring safety.

[0003] In typical households, circuit breaker protection boxes are installed directly in wall slots, allowing users to open them and operate the circuit breakers inside. This can be dangerous, especially for those without full civil capacity, as opening and touching the circuit breaker can easily cause accidents. Furthermore, during power outages or circuit breaker trips, users may not be able to distinguish the cause directly and need to open the circuit breaker protection box to check, making it inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the background art by proposing a circuit breaker monitoring device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A circuit breaker monitoring device includes a housing with a cover plate hinged to it. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the back of the housing. A first spring is fixedly connected between the mounting plate and the first spring. Multiple sensing devices are fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate away from the first spring. Each sensing device corresponds to a circuit breaker. An electromagnet is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing. When energized, the electromagnet attracts the cover plate.

[0007] In the circuit breaker monitoring device described above, the sensing device includes a fixed frame, an outer sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame, an inner sleeve slidably connected to the inside of the outer sleeve, a partition fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner sleeve, an integrated detection device installed in the cavity formed between the partition and the inner sleeve, and a second spring fixedly connected between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve.

[0008] In the circuit breaker monitoring device described above, the integrated detection device includes a circuit board on which a vibration detector, a battery, a signal transmitter, and an indicator light are mounted. When the vibration detector detects vibration, it controls the indicator light to illuminate and controls the electromagnet to lose power and magnetism through the signal transmitter.

[0009] In the circuit breaker monitoring device described above, the indicator light is located on the side of the inner sleeve near the cover plate and extends through the inner sleeve, and a viewing window is installed on the cover plate.

[0010] In the circuit breaker monitoring device described above, a handle is fixedly connected to the side of the inner sleeve near the cover plate.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this circuit breaker monitoring device are:

[0012] In summary, this invention, through its integrated detection device, allows users to determine whether there is a power outage by observing the status of the cover. When a circuit breaker trips, the vibration during the trip is transmitted to a vibration detector. When the vibration detector detects the vibration, it controls an indicator light to illuminate and uses a signal transmitter to de-energize the electromagnet, causing it to lose its magnetism. This causes the cover to spring open directly under the force of the first spring, not only alerting the user that the circuit breaker has tripped but also indicating which specific circuit breaker is faulty, allowing the user to operate the device even in the dark.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 A circuit breaker monitoring device includes a housing 1, a cover plate 2 hinged to the housing 1, a mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the back of the housing 1, a first spring 6 fixedly connected between the mounting plate 4 and the first spring 6, a plurality of sensing devices 5 fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate 4 away from the first spring 6, each sensing device 5 corresponding to a circuit breaker, and an electromagnet 18 fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 1, the electromagnet 18 attracting the cover plate 2 when energized.

[0021] In this embodiment, the sensing device 5 includes a fixing frame 7, an outer sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing frame 7, an inner sleeve 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the outer sleeve 8, a partition 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner sleeve 9, an integrated detection device is installed in the cavity formed between the partition 11 and the inner sleeve 9, and a second spring 10 is fixedly connected between the outer sleeve 8 and the inner sleeve 9.

[0022] In this embodiment, the integrated detection device includes a circuit board 12, on which a vibration detector 13, a battery 14, a signal transmitter 15, and an indicator light 16 are installed. When the vibration detector 13 detects vibration, it controls the indicator light 16 to light up and controls the electromagnet 18 to lose power and magnetism through the signal transmitter 15.

[0023] In this embodiment, the indicator light 16 is located on the side of the inner sleeve 9 near the cover plate 2 and passes through the inner sleeve 9, and a viewing window 3 is installed on the cover plate 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, a handle 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner sleeve 9 near the cover plate 2.

[0025] Working principle: In use, the cover plate 2 is installed on the outside of the circuit breaker, and the inner sleeve 9 is pulled upwards to compress the second spring 10, so that the bottom of the inner sleeve 9 presses against the top of the circuit breaker. The electromagnet 18 is in the normally open state. After the cover plate 2 is closed, it is attracted by the electromagnet 18. At this time, it is difficult to open the cover plate 2 from the outside, which can play a certain protective role. When a power outage occurs in the area, the circuit breaker will not vibrate. At this time, the electromagnet 18 continues to attract the cover plate 2, and the cover plate 2 will not open. At this time, the user can also judge whether there is a power outage by looking at the state of the cover plate 2. When the circuit breaker trips, the vibration of the trip will be transmitted to the vibration detector 13. When the vibration detector 13 detects the vibration, the control indicator 16 lights up, and the signal transmitter 15 controls the electromagnet 18 to be de-energized and lose its magnetism, so that the cover plate 2 is directly opened by the elastic force of the first spring 6. This can not only indicate to the user that the circuit breaker has tripped, but also indicate which specific circuit breaker is faulty, so that the user can operate it in the dark.

[0026] To further clarify, the aforementioned fixed connection should be interpreted broadly unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited. For example, it may be welding, gluing, or integral molding, or other conventional methods well known to those skilled in the art.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
