However, the utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and complete.
[0020] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) module includes an RCCB body 1. A dovetail groove 3 is provided in the middle of the back of the RCCB body 1. A dovetail slide rail 2 passes through the inner side of the dovetail groove 3. A dust cover 6 is provided on the front of the RCCB body 1. A positioning component 4 for fixing the RCCB body 1 is provided inside the dovetail groove 3. Positioning holes 5 are symmetrically provided in the middle of the inner walls on the upper and lower sides of the dovetail groove 3. The positioning component 4 includes an installation cavity 401 opened inside the dovetail slide rail 2. A guide rod 402 is provided inside the installation cavity 401. Sliding blocks 403 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the surface of the guide rod 402. A positioning clip 404 is fixedly connected to the side of the two sliding blocks 403 that are far apart from each other.
[0021] The dovetail slide rail 2 and the dovetail slide groove 3 are shaped to match each other. The outer wall of the dovetail slide rail 2 and the inner wall of the dovetail slide groove 3 are slidably connected. Both ends of the top of the dust cover 6 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the leakage current module body 1 through hinges 7, which can prevent dust from accumulating in the leakage current module body 1 during long-term use. The two ends of the guide rod 402 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the mounting cavity 401. The inner walls of the two sliding blocks 403 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 402. The two positioning blocks 404 are respectively set to correspond to the two positioning holes 5. The ends of the two positioning blocks 404 away from the sliding blocks 403 are chamfered. A return spring 405 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 402. The return spring 405 is set between the two sliding blocks 403. The side of the two sliding blocks 403 near the return spring 405 is provided with a corresponding spring. The two ends of the return spring 405 are connected to the opposite side of the two sliding blocks 403 through the circular slots. One end of each of the two sliding blocks 403 is rotatably connected to a rotating pull rod 406 through a shaft seat. An insulating pull rod 407 passes through the side of the mounting cavity 401 away from the guide rod 402. The insulating pull rod 407 is made of epoxy resin. A connecting block 409 is fixedly connected to one end of the insulating pull rod 407 that extends into the mounting cavity 401. The surface of the connecting block 409 is rotatably connected to the end of the two rotating pull rods 406 away from the sliding blocks 403. The surface of the insulating pull rod 407 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the dovetail slide rail 2. A telescopic spring 408 is sleeved on the outer wall of the insulating pull rod 407. One end of the telescopic spring 408 is connected to the surface of the connecting block 409, and the other end of the telescopic spring 408 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 401.
[0022] Through the precise fit between the dovetail groove 3 and the dovetail rail 2, the main body 1 of the leakage current module can be slidably connected to the surface of the dovetail rail. The two positioning blocks 404 are respectively inserted into the interior of the two positioning holes 5. The insulating pull rod 407 drives the connecting block 409 to move. The connecting block 409 drives the two sliding blocks 403 to slide along the guide rod 402 into the interior of the mounting cavity 401 through the two rotating pull rods 406. The two sliding blocks 403 drive the two positioning blocks 404 to disengage from the positioning holes 5 to prevent them from shifting. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the module, but also provides convenient installation and disassembly functions.
[0023] The working process of this utility model is as follows: During use, the main body 1 of the leakage current module is slid into the dovetail slide rail 2 from the end away from the insulating pull rod 407 via the design of the dovetail slide groove 3. Moving along the guide path of the dovetail slide rail 2, the main body 1 of the leakage current module is pressed against the positioning blocks 404. The two positioning blocks 404 then use the sliding block 403 to press against the return spring 405. The return spring 405 contracts under pressure, and the two positioning blocks 404 slide along the guide rod 402 into the installation cavity 401 until the main body 1 of the leakage current module is completely slid into the designated position. At this point, the two positioning blocks 404 correspond to the two positioning holes 5. Under the reaction force of the return spring 405, the two positioning blocks 404 respectively engage with the two positioning holes 5, completing the installation of the main body 1 of the leakage current module. When it is necessary to disassemble the main body of the leakage current module... At time 1, pull the insulating rod 407 outward. The insulating rod 407 drives the connecting block 409 to move. The connecting block 409 drives the two sliding blocks 403 to slide along the guide rod 402 into the mounting cavity 401 through the two rotating rods 406. The two sliding blocks 403 drive the two positioning blocks 404 to disengage from the positioning hole 5. At this time, the leakage current module body 1 can be slid out from the surface of the dovetail slide rail 2 to complete the disassembly of the leakage current module body 1. This not only ensures the stability of the leakage current module body 1, but also provides convenient installation and disassembly functions. The dust cover 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the leakage current module body 1 by the hinge 7, which can prevent the leakage current module body 1 from accumulating dust during long-term use. When the leakage current module body 1 needs to be maintained or repaired, the operator can easily open the dust cover 6.
[0024] The main body 1 of the leakage current module in this utility model is a known existing electrical device. Its structure, circuit and control principle are all known existing technologies. Therefore, the structure, circuit and control principle of the main body 1 of the leakage current module are not described in detail here.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art and are also general components, which are common knowledge in this field.
