Description

A new type of circuit breaker Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, and in particular to a novel circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Circuit breakers are common circuit protection components. When a short circuit, overload, or other condition occurs, they disconnect the circuit, thereby providing protection. Their importance in circuits is self-evident, but this also places higher demands on them. Ensuring stable current transmission within the circuit breaker, ensuring tripping in the event of a short circuit, and eliminating arcing during the tripping process are key criteria for evaluating circuit breaker quality. Existing circuit breakers typically use welding to connect components. The reliability of the welds affects the reliability of the circuit breaker, often leading to poor contact. Therefore, this type of circuit breaker is only suitable for low-current scenarios. Furthermore, the arc generated during the circuit breaker tripping process lacks directional guidance, allowing some arc to escape from the arc extinguishing chamber and escape into the circuit breaker. This not only damages the internal structure of the circuit breaker but also poses a fire hazard. In particular, due to the limited internal space of the circuit breaker, the tripping mechanism of existing circuit breakers is typically single-sided, creating a force couple during tripping. This can lead to inadequate tripping and damage to the tripping mechanism. Technical issues

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a new circuit breaker, which adopts an integrated design for both the inlet and outlet wires to reduce welding points and ensure reliable current transmission. In addition, the arc guide plate design guides the entire tripping arc into the arc extinguishing chamber to prevent arc overflow. Moreover, the double-sided tripping mechanism eliminates the influence of the force couple during tripping, ensuring the stability of the tripping.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1-2.

[0026] A novel circuit breaker includes a housing 10, and an incoming terminal 11, an outgoing terminal 12, a handle assembly 13, a trip unit 14, a thermal trip mechanism 15, a magnetic trip mechanism 16, and an arc extinguishing chamber 17 fixed therein. The trip unit 14 includes a trip link assembly 141 and a moving contact assembly 142, wherein the moving contact assembly 142 is provided with a moving contact 1421. The thermal trip mechanism 15 includes a bimetallic strip 151 and a thermal trip hook 152, wherein the thermal trip hook 152 is connected to one end of the bimetallic strip 151. The magnetic trip mechanism 16 includes a moving iron core (not labeled), a stationary iron core (not labeled), a magnetic spring (not labeled), and a striker 161.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3.

[0028] A novel circuit breaker also includes an integrated incoming terminal lug 18 for directly introducing an external power supply into the circuit breaker. The lug includes an incoming bottom lug 181 and an incoming connection portion 182. The incoming bottom lug 181 is provided at the bottom of the incoming terminal 11 and is directly connected to the external power supply line. The incoming connection portion 182 is welded to the other end of the bimetallic strip 151. The thickness of the incoming connection portion 182 is less than that of the incoming bottom lug 181.

[0029] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 3 (A), in a specific embodiment, the integrated incoming terminal lug 181 is composed of an incoming line bottom plate portion 181-1 and an incoming line connection portion 182-1. The incoming line bottom plate portion 181-1 is directly connected to the external power line to conduct the current to the bimetallic strip 151 through the incoming line connection portion 182-1. In this embodiment, the integrated incoming line terminal lug 181 is an integrated design, has no welding points, and has a simple structure, and is suitable for ordinary circuit breakers.

[0030] It should be further explained that, as shown in Figure 3 (B), in another specific embodiment, the circuit breaker has more extensive functions, specifically an intelligent circuit breaker, which includes a current transformer 23. The current transformer 23 can output the circuit data passing through it to the outside at a reciprocal multiple of the number of coils of the current transformer 23, so that the outside can monitor the circuit data of the circuit breaker through the data of the current transformer 23. Therefore, in this embodiment, the integrated incoming terminal terminal piece 181 is composed of an incoming line bottom piece portion 181-2, an incoming line connecting portion 182-2, and a bent portion 183, and the bent portion 183 passes through the current transformer 23.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4.

[0032] The integrated outlet terminal lug 19 is used to output the power in the circuit breaker directly to the external load, and includes a conducting portion 191, a coil portion 192, an outlet bottom plate portion 193, and a guide portion 194. The conducting portion 191 is provided with a static contact 1911. The coil portion 192 is arranged on the outside of the magnetic tripping mechanism 16, and is used to trigger the magnetic tripping mechanism to perform a tripping action when a strong current passes through. The outlet bottom plate portion 193 is arranged at the bottom of the outlet terminal 12, and the guide portion 194 is arranged at the end adjacent to the conducting portion 191 close to the arc extinguishing chamber 17, and is used to guide the arc into the arc extinguishing chamber 17.

[0033] It should be noted that when the moving contact 1421 and the static contact 1911 are closed, the current enters the coil portion 192 through the conductive portion 191; when the moving contact 1421 and the static contact 1911 are separated, the circuit is disconnected, and the arc generated when the moving contact 1421 and the static contact 1911 are separated is introduced into the arc extinguishing chamber 17 through the guide portion 194.

[0034] It should be further explained that the magnetic tripping mechanism of the circuit breaker known to those skilled in the art is a mechanism in which the magnetic field force generated when the current passing through the external coil is too large pushes the moving iron core to compress the magnetic spring, causing the striker to hit the tripping mechanism to achieve tripping. Generally speaking, the external coil is an independent coil, which is connected to the circuit by welding. In this embodiment, the coil portion 192 is integrated on the integrated output terminal terminal piece 19. The integrated design has no welding points, so that the current entering the coil portion 192 is more stable. The coil portion 192 replaces the external coil in the traditional circuit breaker and is arranged on the outside of the magnetic tripping mechanism 16.

[0037] It should be noted that an arc baffle plate 21 is also used in conjunction with the integrated arc guide plate 20. The arc baffle plates 21 are two pieces, and each arc baffle plate 21 is respectively arranged on the outside of the corresponding arc guide side baffle 204. The arc baffle plates 21 are made of gas-generating nylon.

[0038] An adjusting portion 22, the adjusting portion 22 is used to adjust the position of the bimetallic strip 151 and the incoming line connection portion 183, or to flexibly connect the bimetallic strip 151, the incoming line connection portion 183 and the arc guide access portion 201 in the circuit breaker, the adjusting portion 22 includes a connecting plate 221 and a set screw 222, the connecting plate 221 is provided with a snap-in groove 2211, a strip-shaped through groove 2212 connected to the snap-in groove 2211, and a strip-shaped through groove 2212 provided on the strip-shaped through groove 2211. 12, the snap-in groove 2211 is used to snap into the bimetallic strip 151 and the incoming line connection portion 183, or to snap into the bimetallic strip 151, the incoming line connection portion 183 and the arc guide access portion 201, and the fixing screw 222 is defined on the housing 10, which passes through the strip-shaped through groove 2212 and is connected to the threaded portion 2213, and the position of each component of the snap-in groove 2211 in the circuit breaker is adjusted by adjusting the fixing screw 222.
