[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses a main switch for a distribution box, including a housing, a terminal block assembly, and a connecting conductive assembly. The housing includes an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2, which are joined together. Two support platforms 20 protrude from the upper left side of the lower housing 2. An opening 21 is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 2, connecting the support platforms 20 and the interior of the lower housing 2. A baffle 10 protrudes from the lower side of the upper housing 1 and extends into the opening 21. An operating mechanism 9 is provided inside the housing. The terminal block assembly includes a first terminal 30 and a second terminal 30 respectively disposed on the two support platforms 20. The terminal block 31, the first terminal block 30, and the second terminal block 31 are all connected to conductive bars 4. The connecting conductive group includes a first conductive piece 50 and a second conductive piece 51, one end of which extends outward from the right side of the outer casing. The conductive bar 4 of the first terminal block 30 is electrically connected to the first conductive piece 50 through an operating mechanism 9, and the conductive bar 4 of the second terminal block 31 is electrically connected to the second conductive piece 51 through the operating mechanism 9. A gap is provided between the baffle 10 and the bottom of the opening 21 to allow the conductive bar 4 to pass through. By placing the terminal block group and the connecting conductive group on the left and right sides of the outer casing respectively, the main switch of the distribution box can be connected to external wires through the terminal blocks during installation, and the conductive pieces can be connected to the conductive bars inside the distribution box. This results in a smaller size, more convenient wiring, and simpler wiring.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower housing 2 has a mounting groove 22 on its lower side for embedding the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51. The lower surfaces of the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51 do not protrude from the mounting groove 22. The first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51 are fixed to the lower housing 2 by bolts, with one end extending to the right side of the housing. This allows the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51 to be completely embedded in the mounting groove 22, making it more convenient to install the housing into the distribution box.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower housing 2 is provided with a latching block 23 for snap-fit ​​connection with the distribution box. When the housing is installed into the distribution box, it is first pre-fixed by the latching block 23, and then fixed with bolts, making the installation of the main switch of the distribution box more convenient.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the support platform 20 is U-shaped, comprising a horizontally positioned bottom 200 and vertically positioned side portions 201 on both sides of the bottom 200. The terminal block assembly is located on the bottom 200 and between the two side portions 201. This design makes it easier to connect the terminal block assembly on the support platform 20 to external wires.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, a through hole for screw connection is provided on one end of the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51. This effectively connects the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 51 to the conductive busbar inside the distribution box.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, a thermal tripping mechanism 6 and a magnetic tripping mechanism 7 are provided between the conductive bar 4 of the first terminal 30 and the operating mechanism 9, and between the second conductive sheet 51 and the operating mechanism 9. A stationary contact 92 is provided on both the first conductive sheet 50 and the conductive bar 4 of the second terminal 31. The operating mechanism 9 includes a transmission rod 90 that cooperates with the thermal tripping mechanism 6 and the magnetic tripping mechanism 7, and a moving contact 91 that cooperates with the stationary contact 92. The conductive bar 4 of the first terminal 30 and the second conductive sheet 51 cooperate with the operating mechanism 9 through the thermal tripping mechanism 6 and the magnetic tripping mechanism 7. The opening and closing of the moving contact 91 and the stationary contact 92 is achieved through the action of the operating mechanism 9, resulting in a smaller size and complete circuit breaking and arc extinguishing functions.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the thermal tripping mechanism 6 includes a bimetallic strip 60 and an adjusting bolt. The bimetallic strip 60 is L-shaped and its lower end is fixed to the conductive bar 4 and the second conductive plate 51 of the first terminal 30. The upper end of the bimetallic strip 60 is connected to the adjusting bolt. When the bimetallic strip 60 is thermally tripped, it drives the transmission rod 90 to move, thereby separating the moving contact 91 from the stationary contact 92. When the bimetallic strip 60 heats up and bends, it will push the transmission rod 90 to move through the adjusting bolt, thereby separating the moving contact 91 from the stationary contact 92.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the magnetic tripping mechanism 7 includes a fixing member 70, a magnetic yoke 71, and an armature 72. Both the fixing member 70 and the magnetic yoke 71 are U-shaped and fixedly connected to the conductive bar 4 and the second conductive plate 51 of the first terminal 30. Connecting ears 720, rotatably connected to the fixing member 70, protrude from both sides of the armature 72. A push rod 721, cooperating with the transmission rod 90, protrudes from the armature 72. When the magnetic tripping action is performed, the armature 72 rotates, thereby driving the transmission rod 90 to move, realizing the opening of the moving contact 91 and the stationary contact 92. When the current on the conductive bar 4 or the second conductive plate 51 of the first terminal 30 exceeds a certain value, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic yoke 71 attracts the armature 72 to rotate, thereby pushing the transmission rod 90 through the push rod 721, realizing the opening of the moving contact 91 and the stationary contact 92.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, an arc-extinguishing chamber 8 is provided at the opening and closing point of the moving contact 91 and the stationary contact 92. The arc-extinguishing chamber 8 includes arc-extinguishing grid plates 80 arranged at intervals along the height direction and arc-extinguishing covers 81 provided on both sides of the arc-extinguishing grid plates 80. At the bottom of the arc-extinguishing chamber 8, an arc-inducing plate 82 is provided, electrically connected to the conductive busbar 4 of the second terminal 31 and the first conductive plate 50. The arc-inducing plate 82 is located close to the stationary contact 92. The arc-inducing plate 82 can effectively guide the generated arc into the depth of the arc-extinguishing chamber 8, thereby improving the arc-extinguishing effect.
