Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to circuit breakers, more particularly, relates to a contact module for circuit breaker with an asymmetric structure.

2. The Related Art

It is well known that a circuit breaker with dual breakpoint has a current breaking capacity which is much higher than a circuit breaker with single breakpoint. The circuit breaker with dual breakpoint utilizes modularized structure which results in convenient assembly and good insulation ability. However, dual breakpoint structure requires that each level of the circuit breaker comprise two contact modules. The contact modules shall have high strength since the circuit breaker will bear large breaking current and the contact modules will bear strong gas shock waves. A high strength requires that a housing of the contact module shall have sufficient thickness, so a phase spacing of the circuit break cannot be reduced. For circuit breakers with large current breaking capacities such as 100 A, 125 A or 160 A, a width dimension of the circuit breakers will be very large. However, miniaturization is a demand and trend for circuit breakers. It is obvious that there is a contradiction between the current breaking capacity and the dimension of a circuit breaker.

For example, an existing four-level circuit breaker with a current breaking capacity of 160 A has a width dimension of 120 mm and a spacing of 30 mm. Though the circuit breaker may bear a large current, the dimension of the circuit breaker is too large and will obviously constrain the application and installation of the circuit breaker.

The contact spring 309 in the second rotor component 300 is mounted on the left side of the contact bridge 308 (the “left side” here means the left side according to FIG. 7).

The rotor support 302 comprises two side plates 321 and two lateral shafts 322 that connect the two side plates. The two side plates 321 are uniform in shape and size, the two side plates 321 have a gap therebetween which is sufficient for the contact bridge 308 to pass through. The two lateral shafts 322 are centrosymmetric. Each side plate is provided with a central hole 331 in the center, and each side plate is provided with a pair of centrosymmetric linkage holes 332 and a pair of centrosymmetric connection slots 334. The pair of linkage holes 332 are disposed on two ends of the major axis of the side plate respectively, and the pair of the connection slots 334 are disposed on two ends of the minor axis of the side plate respectively. The central holes 331 on the two side plates 321 are aligned, the linkage holes 332 on the two side plates 321 are aligned, and the connection slots 334 on the two side plates 321 are aligned, so that the shafts may pass through the holes or slots.

Two first connection rods 306 are mounted between the two side plates 321 and are arranged on different sides of the contact bridge 308. A first connection rod 306 is provided with a short shaft 363, which is mounted in the connection slot 334. The short shaft 363 is the rotation center of the first connection rod 306.

The contact bridge is provided with an obround hole 382 in the center, the first shaft 303 passes through the obround hole 382 and slides therein along a longitudinal direction of the obround hole. The first shaft 303 is the rotation center of the contact bridge 308 when the first shaft 303 slides to one end of the obround hole. The contact bridge is provided with a pair of centrosymmetric curved surfaces 381 and a pair of centrosymmetric through holes 383. Two curved surfaces 381 cooperate with two lateral shafts 322 to constrain the rotation range of the contact bridge 308. Two third shafts 305 pass through two through holes 383 respectively. The contact bridge 308 is provided with two contact points on each side, the two contact points are welded to a contact. The longitudinal direction of the obround hole 382 and a line connecting the two contact points form an included angle, which keeps balance of the contact pressure of the contact points on both sides of the contact bridge 308. FIG. 10 illustrates the structure of a contact bridge. A cylindrical surface on the lateral shaft 322 cooperates with the curved surface 381 on the contact bridge 308. Two lateral shafts 322 correspond to the initial pressure position and the maximum repulsion position of the contact bridge 308 respectively.

Two ends of the single contact spring 309 are mounted on two second shafts 304 respectively. The rotor support 302 is further provided with a spring slot on both side plates 321. The contact spring 309 is able to move in the spring slot. For the second rotor component 300, the single contact spring 309 is arranged in the spring slot on the left side plate 321 (the “left” means the “left side” according to FIG. 7).

FIG. 6 illustrates the first rotor component 400. A difference between the first rotor component 400 and the second rotor component 300 is the position of the contact spring. In the first rotor component 400, the contact spring is arranged on the right side (the “right side” means the “right” according to FIG. 6).

The present invention provides three kinds of rotation shafts. The three kinds of rotation shafts match with different contact housings respectively. A first rotation shaft 501 is a thick rotation shaft, which cooperates with the first contact housing 201 or the fourth contact housing 204. The first rotation shaft 501 cooperates with the first contact housing 201 or the fourth contact housing 204 via the strong side lug, which is step-shaped. The second rotation shaft 502 and the third rotation shaft 503 are thin rotation shafts. The second rotation shaft 502 or the third rotation shaft 503 cooperates with the second contact housing 202 or the third contact housing 203 via the weak side lug, which is inclined. A difference between the second rotation shaft 502 and the third rotation shaft 503 is the length. The second rotation shaft 502 is long so that the second rotation shaft 502 extends outside the contact housing. The third rotation shaft 503 is short and does not extend beyond the contact housing. All of the first rotation shaft 501, the second rotation shaft 502 and the third rotation shaft 503 can be connected to a linkage shaft so as to interconnect the single-pole switches.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, from left to right, two first single-pole switches 601, one second single-pole switch 602 and one third single-pole switch 603 are arranged in sequence.

According to the contact module for circuit breaker of to the present invention, an operation mechanism controls the close/open status of the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is closed, current flows through a static contact on one side, a rotor component, a static contact on the other side and a release mechanism in sequence. The release mechanism protects the circuit breaker by opening the circuit breaker when the system is overload for a longtime or abnormal current appears in the system.

The contact module for circuit breaker of the present invention uses asymmetric structure and a single contact spring, so that a width dimension of a multilevel circuit breaker formed by cascading of a plurality of single-pole switches will be reduced significantly. For example, a four-level circuit breaker according to the present invention has a width dimension of 100 mm and a spacing of 25 mm, a short circuit breaking capacity of the circuit breaker is 400V, 150 KA. According to prior art, when provided with a same short circuit breaking capacity, a four-level circuit breaker in prior art will have a width dimension of 120 mm and a spacing of 30 mm, which is 20% larger than that of the present invention. The reason is that symmetric structure and dual contact springs are used in prior art. FIG. 13 illustrates interconnected single-pole switches, in which symmetric structure and dual contact springs 1309 are utilized.

The present invention utilizes an asymmetric structure. For a single-pole switch, the thickness of side walls on one side of the housing is reduced and only a single contact spring is used in a rotor component. A dimension of a contact module is reduced while maintaining the strength of the contact module and a current breaking capacity of the circuit breaker.
