AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The residual current protection function of existing switching devices is unstable because the gap and deformation of the linkage between the operating mechanism and the intermediate transmission structure cause the small displacement of the tripping component to increase, and the thrust of the magnetic tripping device to decrease.

Method used

The leakage current tripping mechanism includes a magnetic trip unit, a push rod, a first reset element, and an energy storage mechanism. The energy storage mechanism applies an additional force to the push rod to ensure that the push rod can move to the trigger position to drive the operating mechanism to trip. Stable tripping is achieved through the latching action of the locking rod and the lever.

Benefits of technology

This improves the reliability and stability of the residual current protection function of the switching device, avoids the problem of thrust attenuation caused by rod deformation, and ensures the reliability of tripping.

Description

Electric leakage tripping mechanism and switching device

[0001] The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411381326.3, filed on September 30, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of low-voltage electrical apparatus, in particular to an electric leakage tripping mechanism and a switching device comprising the same. BACKGROUND

[0003] The existing switching device with residual current protection function is usually provided with an operating mechanism, a magnetic tripping device and an intermediate transmission structure. The magnetic tripping device drives the operating mechanism to trip through the intermediate transmission structure when the leakage fault occurs in the circuit where the switching device is located, so as to realize the residual current protection function. The intermediate transmission structure is usually composed of two or more than two rods. Due to the influence of the cooperation gap between the rods of the operating mechanism and the intermediate transmission structure and the slight deformation of the rods under stress, the position of the tripping part (such as the transmission rod 10 shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 5-6) has a slight displacement when the operating mechanism is in the closed state relative to the position when the operating mechanism is in the open state. The magnetic tripping device must drive the tripping part to run through the slight displacement before it can push the mechanism tripping part. With the extension of the service time of the switching device, the slight displacement may gradually increase. After the magnetic tripping device trips, the pushing force of the top rod decreases with the increase of the stroke of the top rod. When the slight displacement is too large, the pushing force of the top rod of the magnetic tripping device decreases too much to push the mechanism tripping part, resulting in unstable residual current protection function.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The following embodiments, which are further illustrated by the accompanying drawings, further illustrate the specific implementation of the switch device of the present application. The switch device of the present application is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0050] The switch device of the present application is a switch device with residual current protection function, in particular, a residual current operated circuit breaker.

[0051] As shown in Figs. 1-15, an embodiment of the switch device of the present application is shown.

[0052] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the switch device of the embodiment comprises a device housing and an operating mechanism 11 and a contact system (not shown in the figures) disposed in the device housing, the contact system comprising a movable contact (not shown in the figures) and a static contact (not shown in the figures) used in cooperation, the operating mechanism 11 being in transmission connection with the movable contact to drive the movable contact to close and open the static contact, thereby to close and open the switch device. Further, the closing state of the operating mechanism 11 (i.e. the state of the operating mechanism 11 when the switch device is in the closing state) corresponds to the closing state of the switch device, and the opening state of the operating mechanism 11 (i.e. the state of the operating mechanism 11 when the switch device is in the opening state) corresponds to the opening state of the switch device.

[0053] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the length direction, the width direction and the height direction of the switch device of the embodiment are direction d3, direction d5 and direction d4 (in the present patent, direction d3 is represented by 53 in the figures, direction d5 is represented by 55 in the figures, and direction d4 is represented by 54 in the figures), and direction d3, direction d4 and direction d5 are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] As shown in Figs. 1, 3, 14-15, the device housing comprises a base 8 and a cover (not shown in the figures) relatively split together, and the base 8 and the cover are relatively disposed along direction d5.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the operating mechanism 11 is realized by prior art, for example, the operating mechanism 11 is a cam-five-link mechanism, which comprises a handle 1100, a lock piece 1102, a jump piece 1101, a rotating plate 1105, a first link 1103 and a second link 1104, the handle 1100 is rotatably arranged on the device housing, the lock piece 1102 and the jump piece 1101 are snap-fitted, the jump piece 1101 is driven to rotate by an external force (for example, the external force can come from a top rod 1201 of a magnetic trip 12 described later) to make the jump piece 1101 and the lock piece 1102 disengage, thereby making the operating mechanism 11 trip. Further, the handle 1100 has a closing position, a tripping position and an opening position arranged in sequence along the rotating direction of the handle 1100; the handle 1100 is rotated to the closing position to drive the switch device of the embodiment to close; the handle 1100 is rotated to the opening position to drive the switch device of the embodiment to open; when the switch device of the embodiment trips (i.e. the operating mechanism 11 trips), the handle 1100 is rotated from the closing position to the tripping position; in the tripped state of the switch device of the embodiment, the handle 1100 is rotated from the tripping position to the opening position by an external force to make the switch device of the embodiment re-trip (i.e. the operating mechanism 11 re-trips, thereby making the jump piece 1101 and the lock piece 1102 of the operating mechanism 11 resume snap-fitting), after the switch device of the embodiment re-trips, the switch device switches to the opening state, i.e. the opening state is also the re-tripped state of the switch device of the embodiment.

[0056] Further, the jump piece 1101 is coaxially arranged with the rotating plate 1105, the rotating shaft directions of the handle 1100, the lock piece 1102, the jump piece 1101 and the rotating plate 1105 are all the same as the direction d5.

[0057] It should be pointed out that the operating mechanism 11 is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation, but can also adopt other forms (for example, a four-link operating mechanism), no matter what structure the operating mechanism 11 has, the operating mechanism 11 always comprises the snap-fitted lock piece 1102 and jump piece 1101.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the switch device of the embodiment further comprises an electric leakage tripping mechanism, which comprises a magnetic tripping device 12, a push rod 1, a first reset member 3 and an operating mechanism 11; the push rod 1 is rotationally arranged (for example, rotationally arranged on the device housing); the operating mechanism 11 drives the first reset member 3 to store energy during closing; the magnetic tripping device 12 comprises a top rod 1201 and is used to drive the top rod 1201 to pop out when an electric leakage fault (i.e. a residual current) occurs in the circuit where the switch device is located, the push rod 1 is driven by the top rod 1201 to rotate along the direction d1 (in this patent, the direction d1 is represented by 51 in the figure, as shown in FIG. 5) to a push rod triggering position, the push rod 1 drives the operating mechanism 11 to trip when or before the push rod 1 reaches the push rod triggering position; that is, in the closed state of the operating mechanism 11 (i.e. the closed state of the operating mechanism 11), if an electric leakage fault occurs in the circuit where the switch device of the embodiment is located, the magnetic tripping device 12 drives the top rod 1201 to pop out, the top rod 1201 drives the push rod 1 to rotate, and the push rod 1 drives the operating mechanism 11 to trip when or before the push rod 1 reaches the push rod triggering position; after the operating mechanism 11 trips, the first reset member 3 releases energy to drive the push rod 1 to rotate, and the top rod 1201 is driven by the push rod 1 to reset; the direction d1 and the direction d2 (in this patent, the direction d1 is represented by 51 in the figure, and the direction d2 is represented by 52 in the figure, as shown in FIG. 5) are opposite directions. The position of the push rod 1 when the operating mechanism 11 trips (i.e. when the push rod 1 drives the tripping catch member 1101 to rotate to release the latching cooperation with the latching member 1102, at this time the operating mechanism 11 is in a critical state) is recorded as the first position; in an ideal case, the push rod 1 is arranged to trigger the operating mechanism 11 to trip when the push rod 1 rotates to the first position, that is, the push rod 1 drives the operating mechanism 11 to trip when the push rod 1 reaches the push rod triggering position, at this time the push rod triggering position is the first position; however, considering the machining error, matching error and / or wear (and / or deformation) caused by long-term use of each part of the operating mechanism 11, the push rod 1 is arranged to rotate a certain angle after triggering the operating mechanism 11 to trip to reach the push rod triggering position, that is, the push rod 1 can drive the operating mechanism 11 to trip before reaching the push rod triggering position, so as to ensure that the push rod 1 can reliably trigger the operating mechanism 11 to trip, therefore, the push rod 1 needs to rotate a preset angle after reaching the first position to reach the push rod triggering position.

[0059] Further, as shown in FIG. 1-6, the electric leakage tripping mechanism further comprises a push rod 2, which is rotationally arranged (for example, rotationally arranged on the device housing), and after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped, the first reset member 3 is released to drive the push rod 2 to rotate, the push rod 1 is driven by the push rod 2 to rotate in the direction d2, and the top rod 1201 is reset by the push rod 1; the operating mechanism 11 stores energy for the first reset member 3 through the push rod 2 during the closing process, that is, the operating mechanism 11 drives the push rod 2 to rotate during the closing process, and the first reset member 3 is simultaneously driven by the push rod 2 to store energy. Further, the rotation shaft direction of the push rod 1 and the push rod 2 are both parallel to the direction d5; the top rod 1201 is movably arranged in the direction d4.

[0060] Further, as shown in FIG. 1-6, the electric leakage tripping mechanism further comprises a push rod 2, which is rotationally arranged (for example, rotationally arranged on the device housing), and after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped, the first reset member 3 is released to drive the push rod 2 to rotate, the push rod 1 is driven by the push rod 2 to rotate in the direction d2, and the top rod 1201 is reset by the push rod 1; the operating mechanism 11 stores energy for the first reset member 3 through the push rod 2 during the closing process, that is, the operating mechanism 11 drives the push rod 2 to rotate during the closing process, and the first reset member 3 is simultaneously driven by the push rod 2 to store energy. Further, the rotation shaft direction of the push rod 1 and the push rod 2 are both parallel to the direction d5; the top rod 1201 is movably arranged in the direction d4.

The first spiral body 300 is fixedly arranged (for example, arranged on a lever mounting column 805 on the base 8 of the device housing), the first fixed arm 301 is fixedly arranged (for example, fixedly arranged on the device housing), and the first matching arm 302 is in transmission cooperation with the lever cooperation part 204 of the lever 2.

[0068] As other embodiments of the first reset member 3, it can be a compression spring, a tension spring or a spring sheet, etc.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 1-6, the leakage tripping mechanism further includes an energy storage mechanism, which includes a snap-fitted lock rod 4 and a lever 5, an energy storage member 7, and a second reset member 6. During the rotation of the push rod 1 along the direction d1, i.e. during the rotation of the push rod 1 along the direction d1 to the push rod trigger position driven by the top rod 1201, the lock rod 4 is driven to act to release the snap-fitted cooperation between the lock rod 4 and the lever 5, the energy storage member 7 releases energy to drive the lever 5 to act, and the lever 5 is used to drive the push rod 1 to rotate along the direction d1. After the push rod 1 rotates to the push rod trigger position, the push rod 1 has a tendency to rotate along the direction d1 by the force applied by the energy storage member 7 through the lever 5. The operating mechanism 11 is tripped when or before the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position. During the process of switching to the tripped state after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped (i.e. during the process of the trip release member 1101 and the lock member 1102 of the operating mechanism 11 releasing the snap-fitted cooperation, and the rotating plate 1105 driving the movable contact to act to the movable contact open position), the second reset member 6 drives the lock rod 4 to reset and the push rod 1 drives the lever 5 to reset, so that the lever 5 and the lock rod 4 restore the snap-fitted cooperation, and the lever 5 stores energy for the energy storage member 7. Specifically, during the process of switching to the tripped state after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped, the rotating plate 1105 rotates to avoid the pull rod 13, the first reset member 3 releases energy to drive the lever 2 to rotate, the push rod 1 is driven by the lever 2 to rotate to drive the top rod 1201 to reset, at the same time, the push rod 1 drives the lever 5 to reset and the lever 5 stores energy for the energy storage member 7, the push rod 1 avoids the lock rod 4, the second reset member 6 releases energy to drive the lock rod 4 to reset, and the lever 5 and the lock rod 4 reset to restore the snap-fitted cooperation. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and 3, the lock rod 4 is arranged between the partition plate 9 and the cover of the device housing, and the lever 5 is arranged between the base 8 and the cover.

[0070] The force condition during the process of the push rod 1 rotating to the push rod trigger position is as follows:

[0071] Case one, the push rod 1 rotates to the push rod trigger position only under the action of the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12, the lever 5 simultaneously acts under the action of the energy storage member 7, and after the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position, the lever 5 contacts the push rod 1, the energy storage member 7 applies force to the push rod 1 through the lever 5 to make the push rod 1 have a tendency to rotate in the direction d1. Case two, the push rod 1 rotates to the push rod trigger position under the double actions of the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12 and the force applied to the push rod 1 by the energy storage member 7 through the lever 5, and after the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position, the energy storage member 7 still applies force to the push rod 1 through the lever 5 to make the push rod 1 have a tendency to rotate in the direction d1. Case three, the push rod 1 rotates in the direction d1 under the action of the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12, but the push rod 1 is not enough to rotate to the trigger operating mechanism 11 tripping under the action of the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12, the energy storage member 7 applies force to the push rod 1 through the lever 5 to drive the push rod 1 to rotate to the trigger operating mechanism 11 tripping and finally to the push rod trigger position, and after the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position, the energy storage member 7 still applies force to the push rod 1 through the lever 5 to make the push rod 1 have a tendency to rotate in the direction d1.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the leakage release mechanism, the push rod 1 not only rotates under the action of the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12 for driving the operating mechanism 11 to trip, but also has an additional energy storage mechanism for applying force to the push rod 1, so as to ensure that the push rod 1 can act to the push rod trigger position to drive the operating mechanism to trip, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the residual current protection function of the switch device of the embodiment.

[0073] Further, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, the locking rod 4 is rotationally arranged, and the second reset member 6 makes the locking rod 4 have a tendency to rotate in the direction d1; and / or, the lever 5 is rotationally arranged, and the energy storage member 7 makes the lever 5 have a tendency to rotate in the direction d2.

[0074] In the switch device of the embodiment, the locking rod 4 and the lever 5 are respectively rotationally arranged, and the directions of the rotation axes of the locking rod 4 and the lever 5 are parallel; in the process that the push rod 1 rotates in the direction d1, the locking rod 4 is driven to rotate in the direction d2 to make the locking rod 4 and the lever 5 disengage, the energy storage member 7 releases energy to drive the lever 5 to rotate in the direction d2, and the lever 5 drives the push rod 1 to rotate in the direction d1. Further, the directions of the rotation axes of the locking rod 4 and the lever 5 are the same as the directions of the rotation axes of the push rod 1 and the push rod 2, which are all the direction d5.

[0075] As other embodiments of the action modes of the locking rod 4 and the lever 5, the locking rod 4 is movably arranged as a whole, and the lever 5 is rotationally arranged; or, the locking rod 4 is rotationally arranged, and the lever 5 is movably arranged as a whole; or, the locking rod 4 and the lever 5 are respectively movably arranged as a whole.

[0076] Further, as shown in FIG. 1-6, the lock bar 4 comprises a lock bar matching part 403, the lever 5 comprises a lever matching part 5032, and the push rod 1 comprises a push rod driven arm 103, which is inserted between the lock bar matching part 403 and the lever matching part 5032. When the push rod 1 rotates in the direction d1, the push rod driven arm 103 presses against the lock bar matching part 403 to drive the lock bar 4 to rotate in the direction d2, so that the lock bar 4 and the lever 5 are uncoupled, and the push rod 1 continues to rotate in the direction d2 through the lock bar matching part 403 until the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position, while the lock bar 4 stores energy for the second reset member 6, and the energy storage member 7 releases energy to drive the lever 5 to rotate in the direction d2 until the push rod 1 reaches the push rod trigger position. During the process of switching to the tripped state after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped (after the catch member 1101 and the lock member 1102 of the operating mechanism 11 are uncoupled), i.e. during the process of switching from the critical state to the tripped state of the operating mechanism 11, the second reset member 6 drives the lock bar 4 to rotate in the direction d1, and the push rod 1 is driven by the first reset member 3 to rotate in the direction d2 and press against the lever matching part 5032 through the push rod driven arm 103 to drive the lever 5 to rotate in the direction d1, so that the lock bar 4 and the lever 5 are coupled again. That is, during the process of switching to the tripped state after the operating mechanism 11 is tripped, the push rod driven arm 103 avoids the lock bar matching part 403, so that the lock bar 4 rotates in the direction d1 under the drive of the second reset member 6, and the lock bar 4 is reset, at the same time, the push rod driven arm 103 presses against the lever matching part 5032 to drive the lever 5 to rotate in the direction d1, so that the lever 5 is reset and the lever 5 stores energy for the energy storage member 7, and finally the lock bar 4 and the lever 5 are coupled again. Further, the lock bar matching part 403 and the lever matching part 5032 each comprise a circular arc matching surface, which cooperates with the two sides of the push rod driven arm 103, which is beneficial to reduce the friction when the lock bar matching part 403, the lever matching part 5032 and the push rod driven arm 103 are coupled.

[0077] As other embodiments of the lock bar matching part 403 and the lever matching part 5032, both of them can also be provided with a pointed protrusion which cooperates with the push rod driven arm 103.

[0078] Further, as shown in FIG. 1-6, the first gap between the lock rod matching part 403 and the lever matching part 5032 allows the push rod driven arm 103 to swing freely within a preset angle, thus avoiding the switch device of the present embodiment from being misdriven by vibration, causing the push rod 1 to drive the lock rod 4 to rotate and thus to release the lock rod 4 from the snap-fit with the lever 5, thus improving the stability of the product. Further, the push rod 1 also has a push rod second position, the push rod first position, the push rod second position and the push rod third position being arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the push rod 1; as shown in FIG. 5, the operating mechanism 11 is in the closed state, the push rod 1 is in the push rod second position, and the push rod 1 can rotate freely between the push rod first position and the push rod second position; the push rod 1 is in contact with the lock rod matching part 403 when in the push rod second position. When the operating mechanism 11 is in the closed state and the push rod 1 is in the push rod first position (the push rod driven arm 103 is in contact with the top rod 1201), the magnetic release 12 is actuated to drive the push rod driven arm 103 to first pass through the first gap and be in contact with the lock rod matching part 403, and then to drive the lock rod 4 to rotate and release the snap-fit with the lever 5.

[0079] Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the push rod driven arm 103 of the push rod 1 is in contact with the lock rod matching part 403 (i.e. when the push rod 1 is in the push rod second position), the distance between the push rod driven arm 103 and the top rod 1201 is ≤2.5mm, thus limiting the maximum distance between the push rod 1 and the top rod 1201 when the operating mechanism 11 is in the closed state to a smaller value, thus increasing the force output by the top rod 1201 of the magnetic release 12, and ensuring that the push rod 1 can drive the lock rod 4 to rotate and release the snap-fit with the lever 5 under the action of the top rod 1201.

[0080] Further, as shown in FIG. 1-6, 8, the push rod driven arm 103 of the push rod 1 comprises a first driven arm segment 1031 and a second driven arm segment 1032 connected by bending, the push rod main plate 101, the first driven arm segment 1031 and the second driven arm segment 1032 of the push rod 1 being connected in sequence, the first driven arm segment 1031 being in transmission cooperation with the lock rod matching part 403 of the lock rod 4, and the second driven arm segment 1032 being in transmission cooperation with the lever matching part 5032 of the lever 5. Further, the push rod main plate 101 is coplanar with the first driven arm segment 1031.

[0081] Further, as shown in Figs. 1-6, 9-10, the locking lever 4 further comprises a locking lever stem 402, which is provided with a locking lever clasp surface 405; the lever 5 further comprises a lever locking arm 502, which comprises a lever locking portion 5022, which abuts against the locking lever clasp surface 405 to make the locking lever 4 and the lever 5 clasp together. Further, in the closed state of the operating mechanism 11, the lever locking portion 5022 abuts against the locking lever clasp surface 405; in the open state of the operating mechanism 11, a second gap is formed between the lever locking portion 5022 and the locking lever clasp surface 405, i.e., when the operating mechanism is reclosed, the lever 5 rotates under the drive of the push rod 1, and the lever locking portion 5022 rotates past the locking lever clasp surface 405 and then rotates by a preset angle, and a second gap is formed between the lever locking portion 5022 and the locking lever clasp surface 405, thereby ensuring that when the operating mechanism 11 is reclosed, the locking lever 4 and the lever 5 can reliably restore the clasp together, and the reliable and stable operation of the energy storage mechanism is ensured. Further, the locking lever clasp surface 405 is a circular arc surface, the center of which coincides with the rotation center of the locking lever 4; the lever locking portion 5022 comprises a locking edge 50223; in the closed state of the operating mechanism 11, the locking edge 50223 abuts against the locking lever clasp surface 405; in the open state of the operating mechanism 11, a second gap is formed between the locking edge 50223 and the locking lever clasp surface 405. The locking lever clasp surface 405 is provided as a circular arc surface, so that the force of the locking edge 50223 against the locking lever clasp surface 405 passes through the rotation center of the locking lever 4, thereby reducing the tripping force between the locking lever 4 and the lever 5.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the lock bar stem 402 further comprises a first limiting surface 404 and a second limiting surface 406, the first limiting surface 404, the lock bar clasp surface 405 and the second limiting surface 406 are sequentially arranged; as shown in FIG. 5, in the closed state of the operating mechanism 11, the lever lock portion 5022 abuts against the lock bar clasp surface 405 and the first limiting surface 404 abuts against the lever lock portion 5022 to prevent the lock bar 4 from continuing to rotate in the direction d1; as shown in FIG. 6, in the open state of the operating mechanism 11, a second gap is formed between the lever lock portion 5022 and the lock bar clasp surface 405 and the first limiting surface 404 abuts against the lever lock portion 5022; as shown in FIGS. 1-2, in the tripped state of the operating mechanism 11, the second limiting surface 406 is opposite to the lever lock portion 5022. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the lever lock portion 5022 comprises a lever limiting surface 50221, a lever clasp surface 50222 and a lock bar ridge 50223, the lever limiting surface 50221 and the lever clasp surface 50222 are connected by bending, and the bending connection portions of the two form the lock bar ridge 50223; in the closed state of the operating mechanism 11, the lock bar ridge 50223 abuts against the lock bar clasp surface 405 and the first limiting surface 404 abuts against the lever limiting surface 50221; in the open state of the operating mechanism 11, a second gap is formed between the lock bar ridge 50223 and the lock bar clasp surface 405 and the first limiting surface 404 abuts against the lever limiting surface 50221, the lever clasp surface 50222 is opposite to and spaced apart from the lock bar clasp surface 405; in the tripped state of the operating mechanism 11, the second limiting surface 406 is opposite to the lever clasp surface 50222.
