AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional circuit breakers have vertical wiring directions for their incoming terminals and use a threaded tunnel structure, which requires tools and makes installation and disassembly difficult. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations can cause changes in clamping force, which can easily lead to thread failure and increase maintenance difficulty.

Method used

The design incorporates a plug-in circuit breaker with protective pole bus clamps and a through pole bus clamp, which are respectively installed in the mounting slots of the housing. The clamping distance of the protective pole bus clamp is smaller than that of the through pole bus clamp. Combined with temperature rise design, the clamping force is optimized, improving the installation and disassembly experience.

Benefits of technology

By designing the clamp spacing specifically, the adaptability of insertion and extraction forces is improved, the difficulty of installation and disassembly is reduced, and the convenience of circuit breaker maintenance is enhanced.

Abstract

The utility model belongs to low -voltage electric appliance technical field discloses a plug -in circuit breaker, including the shell and incoming line terminal, the shell's incoming line end is provided with first installation slot and second installation slot, and the incoming line terminal includes the protection pole bus clamp and straight -through pole bus clamp respectively arranged in first installation slot and second installation slot, and the protection pole bus clamp and straight -through pole bus clamp all include the connecting portion and two interval distribution and set up in the clamping portion of connecting portion both ends, and the clamping portion between two forms the clamping opening for clamping the busbar, and the protection pole bus clamp's clamping opening pitch is less than the clamping opening pitch of straight -through pole bus clamp. This plug -in circuit breaker structure design is more reasonable, namely according to the different of temperature rise, the clamping opening pitch of protection pole bus clamp and straight -through pole bus clamp is designed in the light of the situation, makes protection pole bus clamp and straight -through pole bus clamp can better adapt the requirement plug -pull force, has improved the experience of assembly and disassembly, has reduced the assembly and disassembly difficulty, is favorable to the maintenance of plug -in circuit breaker.
