Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, and in particular to a circuit breaker with an automatic recovery structure. Background Technology
[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device whose core function is to close, carry, and interrupt current under normal or abnormal circuit conditions to protect circuits and equipment from damage. When a circuit experiences a severe overload, short circuit, or undervoltage, the circuit breaker can automatically disconnect the circuit to prevent equipment from being damaged due to continuous operation of the fault.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent CN212303597U, disclosed on January 5, 2021, discloses a circuit breaker, including: an arm end, a resistor device, a deformation device, and a base end. The resistor device and the deformation device are both disposed between the arm end and the base end, and the arm end and the base end are movably connected.
[0004] However, when the above-mentioned device is in use, it uses the change in resistance to perform automatic control and recovery. However, the change in resistance value with temperature has a certain delay, which makes it difficult to effectively and quickly sense and recover. Overall, the recovery process is not very efficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a circuit breaker with an automatic recovery structure, aiming to solve the technical problem that the above-mentioned devices rely on changes in resistance for automatic control and recovery during use, but the resistance value changes with temperature with a certain delay, which cannot effectively and quickly sense and recover, and the overall recovery is not very efficient.

The disconnecting operating mechanism can rotate and open / close from the inner front end of the circuit breaker body 1. The rotating return mechanism is movably installed inside the circuit breaker body 1. The rotating return mechanism can rotate inside the circuit breaker body 1, thus disconnecting the circuit for protection when the temperature is too high.

The rotating return mechanism can switch the circuit open / closed via the rotation of the disconnecting operating mechanism, enabling effective operation and control. The automatic return mechanism is installed and connected to the circuit breaker body 1. The automatic return mechanism can be driven to restore operation on the circuit breaker body 1. The automatic return mechanism is connected to the rotating return mechanism and can drive the rotation... The automatic recovery mechanism rotates to open and close, thus effectively restoring the circuit. The sensing control mechanism is installed and connected to the inner front end of the circuit breaker body 1. The sensing control mechanism can perform sensing control on the circuit breaker body 1. When the sensing control mechanism senses a decrease in temperature, it controls the automatic recovery mechanism to drive it through an internally set program. The automatic recovery mechanism can then drive the disconnection operation mechanism to rotate, which in turn drives the rotation recovery mechanism to rotate, making the rotation recovery mechanism contact the internal circuit of the circuit breaker body 1, thereby restoring power supply to the circuit of the circuit breaker body 1. The entire operation is automated, and infrared sensing is more efficient than resistance change sensing, effectively improving the overall recovery efficiency.

A moving contact 71 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the operating plate 6, allowing the operating plate 6 to drive the moving contact 71 to rotate, thus enabling rotational opening and closing. A strip braid 7 is fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the moving contact 71, which can effectively supply power. A bimetallic strip 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the strip braid 7, which can receive current. When the current is too large, the bimetallic strip 5 will tilt up, triggering a power outage. The bimetallic strip 5 and the moving contact 71 are electrically connected to the internal circuit of the circuit breaker body 1. A sensing control mechanism is installed on the outside of the bimetallic strip 5, which can effectively sense temperature.
[0041] A right-angle connecting rod 10 is fixed between the operating plate 6 and the bimetallic strip 5. When the bimetallic strip 5 is tilted up, it can drive the right-angle connecting rod 10 to change position. The right-angle connecting rod 10 can then drive the operating plate 6 to rotate, thereby completing the automatic power-off.
[0042] The automatic recovery mechanism includes a recovery motor 2, with a screw mounting plate 21 fixed to its periphery for corresponding installation. The recovery motor 2 is connected to the circuit breaker body 1 via the screw mounting plate 21, allowing for stable driving on the circuit breaker body 1.

A battery 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hollow cavity 43 on the hollow housing 4, providing effective power supply. The battery 42 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit inside the circuit breaker body 1 via a connecting wire, allowing for effective energy storage. The connection method is an electrical connection between the bimetallic strip 5 and the outgoing line section.

The outer end of the PLC 41 is electrically connected to a power connection line 91, and the outer end of the power connection line 91 is electrically connected to an infrared sensor 9. The PLC 41 can receive infrared temperature data from the infrared sensor 9 via the power connection line 91, thereby automatically processing and judging the operation. The infrared sensor 9 is fixedly connected inside the circuit breaker body 1, allowing for stable placement and infrared temperature sensing. The PLC 41 and the battery 42 are electrically connected via a connecting wire for effective power supply and control.
[0045] The infrared sensor 9 is located on the outside of the bimetallic strip 5, which enables efficient temperature sensing.
[0046] Working Principle: During use, the disconnection operating mechanism can rotate and open / close inside the front end of the circuit breaker body 1, while the rotation recovery mechanism can rotate inside the circuit breaker body 1. This allows for circuit disconnection protection when the temperature is too high. The rotation recovery mechanism, through the rotation and opening / closing of the disconnection operating mechanism, can switch the circuit on and off, enabling effective operation and control. The automatic recovery mechanism can drive the rotation recovery mechanism to rotate and open / close, thus effectively restoring the circuit. When the sensing control mechanism detects a temperature drop, it controls the automatic recovery mechanism through an internally set program. The automatic recovery mechanism then drives the rotation recovery mechanism to rotate in the forward direction, which in turn drives the disconnection operating mechanism to rotate, causing it to contact the circuit inside the circuit breaker body 1, thereby restoring the entire circuit. The entire operation is automated, and infrared sensing is more efficient than resistance changes, effectively improving the overall recovery efficiency.
