Leakage protection circuit breaker
[0001] The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411137231.7, filed on August 19, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of low-voltage electrical apparatus, in particular to a leakage protection circuit breaker. BACKGROUND
[0003] Low-voltage circuit breakers are used to distribute electric energy and to protect lines and equipment from overload and short circuits, and also for infrequent switching of lines and infrequent starting of motors. For electronic leakage circuit breakers, because the electronic component board takes power through one end of the main circuit, and usually the electronic component board takes power from the outgoing line end of the product, it is stipulated that the power source can only be connected to the incoming line end of the product. However, if the user mistakenly connects the power source to the outgoing line end of the product, the electronic component board will always be in a powered-on state. If there is a leakage current in the main circuit at this time, or a leakage current is simulated by pressing the test button, the leakage release will still act, and the release coil will be burned out, causing the leakage protection function to fail.
[0004] In addition, when the load is a high inductive or high capacitive load, if the main circuit power is suddenly disconnected, or the circuit breaker is disconnected, the high inductive or high capacitive load will generate a reverse electromotive force. Because the electronic component board of the electronic leakage circuit breaker takes power through the outgoing line end, the reverse electromotive force generated by the load will be directly added to the electronic component board. At this time, if there is a leakage current in the main circuit or the test button is pressed, the above-mentioned reverse electromotive force directly added to the electronic component board will be directly added to both ends of the leakage release coil, causing the coil to burn out and causing the leakage function to fail.

[0039] The operating mechanism 25 comprises a rotating plate 251 and an energy storage spring connected with the rotating plate 251, the rotating plate 251 is respectively provided with a rotatable jump buckle 252 and a lock buckle 253, the jump buckle 252 and the lock buckle 253 are snap-fitted, a connecting rod 254 is arranged between the jump buckle 252 and the handle 26, and the two ends of the connecting rod 254 are respectively rotatably connected with the handle 26 and the jump buckle 252, so that the handle 26 is connected with the jump buckle 252 through the connecting rod 254, when the jump buckle 252 and the lock buckle 253 are snap-fitted, the lock buckle 253 locks the jump buckle 252 and the rotating plate 251, when the handle 26 pushes the jump buckle 252 through the connecting rod 254, the jump buckle 252 can drive the contact 21 to support rotation, when the handle 26 rotates in two opposite directions respectively, the rotating plate 251 can drive the moving contact 21 to contact and separate from the static contact 22, and the rotating plate 251 is compressed by the handle 26 and is locked when the moving contact 21 contacts with the static contact 22.
