DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The specific implementation of the circuit breaker of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments given in FIGS. 1 to 47. The circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 7-16, 38-41 and 43, the circuit breaker of the present invention includes an operating mechanism 100 and at least one circuit breaker pole 300; the operating mechanism 100 includes at least one group of moving contact mechanisms. Each moving contact mechanism includes a contact support 110 pivotally arranged around a third axis 111s and a moving contact 9 disposed on the contact support 110 to rotate synchronously with the contact support 110; each circuit breaker pole 300 includes a static contact 18 which is in one-to-one cooperation with the moving contact mechanism to form a contact system; at least one group of contact systems is disposed in each circuit breaker pole 300; and the operating mechanism 100 actuates, so that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are disconnected or closed, to implement a closing or disconnecting operation of the circuit breaker.

Further, the moving contact 9 rotates around a contact axis, and the contact axis coincides with the third axis 111s, or the contact axis is parallel to (but not coincident with) the third axis 111s. It should be pointed out that the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes a moving contact rotating shaft for supporting the rotation of the moving contact 9. An axis of the moving contact rotating shaft coincides with the third axis 111s, and the moving contact 9 is provided with a moving contact shaft hole 901 matched with the moving contact rotating shaft. In practical applications, a diameter of the moving contact shaft hole 901 is slightly larger than that of the moving contact rotating shaft, so as to ensure the rotation flexibility of the moving contact 9. In the case that the circuit breaker of the present invention is driven by the operating mechanism 100 to be disconnected or closed normally, the moving contact 9 acts synchronously with the contact support 110, and rotation axis lines of the moving contact 9 and the contact support 110 coincide at this time. In the case that the moving contact 9 is repelled to rotate relative to the contact support 110 in response to the occurrence of a short-circuit fault in the circuit breaker of the present invention, the inside surface of the movable contact shaft hole 901 and the moving contact rotating shaft support the moving contact 9 to rotate in a tangential manner. At this time, the rotation axis line of the moving contact 9 is parallel to the third axis 111s.

Further, as shown in FIG. 43, the circuit breaker of the present invention includes a plurality of circuit breaker poles 300 arranged side by side, and the moving contact mechanisms in the respective circuit breaker poles 300 are linked.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7-9, the movable contact 9 is a single-breakpoint contact, wherein a moving contact point is disposed at one end of the moving contact 9, and the other end of the moving contact 9 is in driving fit with the contact support 110; or, as shown in FIG. 10, the moving contact 9 is a double-breakpoint contact, wherein a moving contact point is respectively disposed at two ends of the moving contact 9, and the middle part of the moving contact 9 is in driving fit with the contact support 110.

The moving contact mechanism includes a contact support 110 pivotally arranged around a third axis 111s and a moving contact 9 disposed on the contact support 110 to rotate synchronously with the contact support 110; each circuit breaker pole 300 includes a static contact 18 which is in one-to-one cooperation with the moving contact mechanism to form a contact system; at least one group of contact systems is disposed in each circuit breaker pole 300; and the operating mechanism 100 actuates, so that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are disconnected or closed, to implement a closing or disconnecting operation of the circuit breaker.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the circuit breaker in this embodiment is a three-phase circuit breaker, including three circuit breaker poles 300 (respectively used for connecting or breaking a three-phase circuit of a power supply) arranged side by side; the operating mechanism 100 is mounted on the circuit breaker pole 300 located in the middle; and moving contact mechanisms of the three circuit breaker poles 300 are linked (as shown in FIG. 3, the moving contact mechanisms of the three circuit breaker poles 300 are further linked by a linkage shaft 5). Of course, the number of the circuit breaker poles 300 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the number of the circuit breaker poles 300 may be 2, which are matched with a two-phase power supply; or, the number of the circuit breaker poles 300 may also be 4, which are used for a three-phase four-wire circuit; or, the number of the circuit breaker poles 300 may also be 1, which is matched with a single-phase circuit.

The first embodiment of the operating mechanism 100 is shown in FIGS. 7-13. The operating mechanism 100 is provided with a dual-slider mechanism, which can reduce the correlation between rotation angles of the operating mechanism and the contact system, and increase an opening distance of the moving contact, without increasing a space requirement of the operating mechanism, to be specific:

According to the operating mechanism 100, the first crank 30, the first connecting rod 27, the slide rails 25 and the slider 26 form a first slider mechanism, and the contact support 110, the second connecting rod 29, the slide rails 25 and the slider 26 form a second slider mechanism. The first slider mechanism cooperates with the second slider mechanism to reduce the correlation of rotation ranges of the jump buckle 60, the first connecting rod 27 and the contact support 110, thereby increasing the opening distance of the moving contact, without increasing the space requirement of the operating mechanism. Moreover, the reliable operating performance of the operating mechanism is ensured.

Further, the slide rails 25 are of a groove-like structure or a hole-like structure. Further, in the case that the slide rail 25 is of the groove-like structure, the slide rail 25 may be disposed on the inside wall of the bracket 50 or the inside wall of the unit housing 120 (a phase separation partition is disposed between adjacent circuit breaker poles 300 in the case that the circuit breaker pole 300 is not provided with a unit housing 120, and the slide rail 25 is disposed on a sidewall of the phase separation partition), and the slide rail 25 does not penetrate through the bracket 50 or the unit housing 120 (or the phase separation partition) in a thickness or depth direction. Further, two ends of the slide rail 26 are respectively disposed in the two slide rails 25, and one end of the first connecting rod 27 connected to the slider 26 and one end of the second connecting rod 29 connected to the slider 26 are both disposed in a space between the two slide rails 25. In the case that the slide rail 25 is of the hole-like structure, the slide rail 25 may be disposed on the inside wall (as shown in FIGS. 4-6) of the bracket 50 or the inside wall of the unit housing 120 (a phase separation partition is disposed between adjacent circuit breaker poles 300 in the case that the circuit breaker pole 300 is not provided with a unit housing 120, and the slide rail 25 is disposed on a sidewall of the phase separation partition), and the slide rail 25 penetrates through the bracket 50 or the unit housing 120 (or the phase separation partition) in a thickness or depth direction.

Further, each slide rail 25 is straight, arc-shaped, triangular, or a combined shape of straight line and arc. Further, the shape of the slide rail 25 may also be adaptively set according to a current level of the circuit breaker, a design space, control requirements, and the like. As shown in FIGS. 11, 12 and 13, the slider 26 moves upward along the slide rails 25 in response to a disconnecting or tripping action of the circuit breaker; and the slider 26 moves downward along the slide rails 25 when the circuit breaker is closed. A trajectory of upward movement and a trajectory of downward movement are coincident, which, in this case, may be set to be straight, arc-shaped, or a combined shape of straight line and arc. For example, the slide rail 25 is set in a triangular shape or other shapes. In the case that the slide rail is set as a triangle, a movement trajectory of the slider 26 along the slide rails 25 is upward along one side of the triangle when the circuit breaker is disconnected or tripped; the movement trajectory of the slider 26 along the slide rails 25 is downward along the other side of the triangle, but the downward and upward movement trajectories are not coincident (not shown); the slider 26 forms a closed-shaped movement trajectory along the slide rails 25.

As shown in FIGS. 11-13, 23 and 46, an embodiment of the slide rails 25 and the slider 26 is shown. The bracket 50 includes two bracket arms 501 disposed to face with other at intervals, and each bracket arm 501 is provided with a slide rail 25, and two ends of the slider 26 are respectively slidably disposed on the two slide rails 25. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7-13, 23 and 46, each slide rail 25 is a slide hole, and the slider 26 is a sliding shaft, two ends of which are respectively disposed in the two slide holes.

Further, as shown in FIG. 41, the first avoidance hole 120-7 is an arc-shaped hole, which is matched with a movement trajectory of the linkage shaft 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 41, the housing of the circuit breaker includes a unit housing 120, in which the first avoidance hole 120-7 is formed; or in the case that the housing of the circuit breaker is provided with a phase separation partition, the first avoidance hole is formed in the phase separation partition.

As shown in FIGS. 1-6, one end of the re-buckle 15 is located on one side of the latch 13 and limiting fit with the latch 13; the re-buckle 15 releases the limiting fit from the latch 13 while the re-buckle 15 is driven to rotate; and the latch 13 rotates and releases the limiting fit of the jump buckle hasping surface 604 and the latch hasping surface so that the latch 13 releases the latching fit from the jump buckle 60. Further, the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes an overload and short-circuit protection mechanism. The overload and short-circuit protection mechanism will drive the re-buckle 15 to rotate while a short-circuit or overload fault occurs in the circuit breaker, so that the re-buckle 15 releases the limiting fit from the latch 13. Further, the short-circuit and overload protection mechanism includes a short-circuit protection mechanism and an overload protection mechanism, wherein the short-circuit protection mechanism is preferably an electromagnetic trip, and the overload protection mechanism is preferably a thermal tripping mechanism (e.g., the overload protection mechanism includes a bimetal sheet).

The following is a process of switching the operating mechanism 100 in the first embodiment among a disconnected state, a closed state and a tripped state, and the details are as follows:

• • as shown in FIGS. 7-13, two ends of the swing stroke of the rocker arm 45 are the first stroke end and the second stroke end respectively; and two ends of the first spring 22 are the first spring end 220 and the second spring end 221 respectively, which are connected with the rocker arm assembly and the first crank 30 respectively. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7-13, the first stroke end and the second stroke end of the rocker arm 45 are a right end and a left end of the swing stroke of the rocker arm 45 respectively, the upper end of the first spring 22 is the first spring end 220, and the lower end of the first spring 22 is the second spring end 221.

The operation process of the operating mechanism 100 being switched from the closed state to the disconnected state will be described below in conjunction with FIGS. 7, 8, 11 and 12: as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is in a closed state, the rocker arm 45 swings toward the second stroke end and drives the first spring end 220 to rotate around the second spring end 221, until the first spring 22 passes a first dead center position; the first spring 22 drives the first crank 30 to rotate in a second direction and drives the rocker arm 45 to swing to the second stroke end; the first crank 30 drives the slider 26 through the first connecting rod 27 to slide along the slide rails 25; and the slider 26 drives the contact support 110 through the second connecting rod 29 to rotate in the first direction to a breaking position, so that the operating mechanism is switched to a disconnected state shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 12. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 11 and 12, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is switched from a closing position to a disconnecting position, the slider 26 moves upward along the slide rails 25, the first direction is counterclockwise, and the second direction is clockwise. When the first spring 22 is located at the first dead center position, the energy storage of the first spring 22 reaches a maximum value, the first axis 67m is located on a first axis line, and the first axis 22 passes the first axis 67m while the first spring 22 passes the first dead center position around the second spring end 221. Therefore, the first axis 67m may also be regarded as the first dead center position, that is to say, the first axis line passes the first axis 67m, i.e., the first spring 22 passes the first dead point position. It should be pointed out that, as shown in FIG. 12, the contact support 110 and/or the moving contact 9 are limited by the unit housing 120 while the operating mechanism 100 is in the disconnected state, so that the contact support 110 cannot continue to rotate in the first direction, and the contact support 110 forms limiting for the slider 26 through the second connecting rod 29 at the same time, thereby preventing the slider 26 from sliding upward along the slide rails 25.

The operation process of the operating mechanism 100 being switched from the disconnected state to the closed state will be described below in conjunction with FIGS. 7, 8, 11 and 12: as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 12, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is in the disconnected state, the rocker arm 45 swings toward the first stroke end and drives the first spring end 220 to rotate around the second spring end 221, until the first spring 22 passes the first dead center position; the first spring 22 drives the first crank 30 to rotate in the first direction, such that the crank limiting portion 31 is in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60, thereby preventing the first crank 30 from rotating in the first direction; meanwhile, the first spring 22 drives the rocker arm 45 to swing to the first stroke end, and the first crank 30 drives the slider 26 through the first connecting rod 27 to slide along the slide rails 25; and the slider 26 drives the contact support 110 through the second connecting rod 29 to rotate in the second direction to the closing position, so that the operating mechanism is switched to the closed state; and the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 11 and 12, the slider 26 moves downward along the slide rails 25 while the operating mechanism 100 is switched from the disconnected state to the closed state. It should be pointed out that, as shown in FIG. 7, the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed while the operating mechanism 100 is in the closed state, so that the contact support 110 cannot continues to rotate in the second direction, and the contact support 110 forms limiting for the slider 26 through the second connecting rod 29 at the same time, thereby preventing the slider 26 from sliding downward along the slide rails 25.

The operation process of the operating mechanism 100 being switched from the closed state to the tripped state will be described below in conjunction with FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13: as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is in the closed state, the re-buckle 15 rotates to release the limiting fit from the latch 13, and the latch 13 rotates to release the latching fit from the jump buckle 60; the jump buckle 60 rotates and drives the first crank 30 to rotate synchronously, the first crank 30 drives the slider 26 through the first connecting rod 27 to slide along the slide rails 25, and meanwhile, the slider 26 drives the contact support 110 through the second connecting rod 29 to rotate in the second direction to a breaking position; and the first spring 22 drives the rocker arm 45 to swing toward the second stroke end to the reset structure 42 to be in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60, and the operating mechanism is switched to the tripped state as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 13. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7, 9, 11 and 13, the slider 26 moves upward along the slide rails 25 while the operating mechanism 100 is switched from the closed state to the tripped state. It should be pointed out that, as shown in FIG. 13, the contact support 110 and/or the moving contact 9 are limited by the unit housing 120 while the operating mechanism 100 is in the tripped state, so that the contact support 110 cannot continue to rotate in the first direction, and the contact support 110 forms limiting for the slider 26 through the second connecting rod 29 at the same time, thereby preventing the slider 26 from sliding upward along the slide rails 25.

The operation process of the operating mechanism 100 being switched from the tripped state to the disconnected state will be described below in conjunction with FIGS. 8, 9, 11 and 13: as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 13, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is in the tripped state, the rocker arm 45 swings to the second stroke end, and the rocker arm 45 drives the jump buckle 60 through the reset structure 42 to rotate to be in latching fit with the latch 13; and meanwhile, the latch 13 rotates to be in limiting fit with the re-buckle 15, and the operating mechanism is switched to the disconnected state shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 11.

The following is a second embodiment of the operating mechanism 100, to be specific: the operating mechanism 100 of the second embodiment differs from the operating mechanism 100 of the first embodiment in that: the operating mechanism 100 in the second embodiment further includes an auxiliary limiting structure, wherein one end of the auxiliary limiting structure is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 29, and the other end of the auxiliary limiting structure is rotatably connected to the bracket 50 or a housing of the circuit breaker. The auxiliary limiting structure cooperates with the movement of the slider 26 to affect a movement state of the second connecting rod 29, thereby jointly defining a movement trajectory of the rotating connection position of the second connecting rod 29 and the contact support 100.

It should be pointed out that the auxiliary limiting structure is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket 50 or the housing of the circuit breaker, or may also be configured to reciprocate along a predetermined trajectory, for example, this end is slidably disposed in a track. Further, in the case that one end of the auxiliary limiting structure is connected to the housing of the circuit breaker, this end may be connected to the circuit breaker shell 3 or the unit housing 120 (or the phase separation partition).

Further, the auxiliary limiting structure is of a connecting rod structure or a crank-slider structure. Further, the auxiliary limiting structure is a third crank, wherein one end of the third crank is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 9, and the other end of the third crank is rotatably connected to the bracket 50 or the housing of the circuit breaker. The second connecting rod 29 moves accordingly while the slider 26 slides along the slide rails 25, and at the same time, the third crank rotates around a part of the third crank that is rotatably disposed on the bracket 50 or the housing of the circuit breaker to assist in limiting the movement of the second connecting rod 29; and the second connecting rod 29 and the third crank cooperate to make the movement of the second connecting rod 29 more precise.

Further, the third crank has a straight or arc-shaped plate structure.

As shown in FIG. 7-13 and FIG. 47, a third embodiment of the operating mechanism 100 is specifically as follows:

• • the operating mechanism 100 of the third embodiment differs from the operating mechanism 100 of the first embodiment in that: the operating mechanism 100 further includes a second crank 19, wherein the second crank 19 includes a second crank supporting portion, a second crank connecting portion, and a second crank driving portion; the second crank 19 is pivotally disposed through the second crank supporting portion, and the second crank 19 is connected to the contact support 110 through the second crank driving portion; one end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the slider 26, and the other end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the second crank connecting portion; and the contact support 110 is driven to rotate around the third axis 111s. Further, the second crank 19 is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50 or the housing of the circuit breaker through the second crank supporting portion. Further, the rocker arm assembly can drive the first crank 30 to swing through the first spring 22, the first crank 30 drives the slider 26 through the first connecting rod 27 to slide on the slide rails 25, the slider 26 drives the second crank 19 to swing through the second connecting rod 29, the second crank 19 drives the contact support 110 to rotate, and the contact support 110 drives the moving contact 9 of the circuit breaker to rotate. The slider 26 slides on the slide rails 25, and the slider 26 drives the second crank 19 to swing through the second connecting rod 29. A distance between the third axis 111s and a rotation axis line (referring to a reference numeral 21 in FIGS. 11-14) at the rotating connection position of the second connecting rod 29 and the second crank 19 is much smaller than the length of the moving contact 9, so the second connecting rod 29 drives the second crank 19 to generate a small rotation, which will be proportionally enlarged into an opening distance between the moving contact and the static contact. The opening distance of the moving contact 9 can be adjusted by adjusting a connection position between the second connecting rod 29 and the second crank 19.

Specifically, in the case that the second crank supporting portion of the second crank 19 is disposed on the housing of the circuit breaker, the second crank supporting portion may be pivotally disposed on the circuit breaker housing 3 or the unit housing 120 (or the phase separation partition). Further, as shown in FIG. 41, the second crank supporting portion is pivotally disposed on the unit housing 120 through a second crank shaft 79. Further, the unit housing 120 includes a second crank shaft hole which is a blind hole, and the second crank shaft 79 cooperates with the second crank shaft hole.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 47, in the case that the second crank supporting portion of the second crank 19 is disposed on the bracket 50, the second crank supporting portion is pivotally disposed on the sidewall of the bracket 50 through the second crank shaft 79. The second crank shaft 79 may be a common connector such as a rivet, a screw rod or a bolt. The second crank supporting portion is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50, which is beneficial to further reduce the assembly error of the operating mechanism 100 and improve the operational reliability of the operating mechanism 100.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16, 41 and 47, the second crank connecting portion of the second crank 19 is disposed between the second crank supporting portion and the second crank driving portion. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11-13, the second crank supporting portion and the second crank driving portion are respectively disposed on two ends of the second crank 19; and the second crank supporting portion is disposed in the middle of the second crank 19 and located between the second crank supporting portion and the second crank driving portion.

Further, the center of rotation of the second crank 19 is a ninth axis, and the ninth axis is parallel to or coincided with the third axis 111s. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 41, the ninth axis coincides with the third axis 111s in the case that the second crank supporting portion is pivotally arranged on the unit housing 120. As shown in FIG. 47, the second crank supporting portion is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50, and the ninth axis is parallel to, but not coincident with the third axis 111s.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16 and 41, the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the second crank connecting portion of the second crank 19 through the first connecting shaft 21.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16 and 41, the second crank driving portion of the second crank 19 is driving connection to the contact support 110 through the linkage shaft 5. The linkage shaft 5 is a connecting shaft for realizing the synchronous rotation of the respective contact supports 110, and the second crank driving portion of the second crank 19 is connected with the linkage shaft 5 to drive the contact support 110 to rotate, which is beneficial to improve the action synchronicity of respective circuit breaker poles 300.

Further, the second connecting rod 29 has an arc or straight plate structure, wherein one end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the slider 26 and the other end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the second crank 19 (or, in the operating mechanism 100 of the first embodiment, the second crank 19 is directly connected to the contact support 110). Further, as shown in FIGS. 11-16, 41 and 47, the second connecting rod 29 has an arc-shaped plate structure, wherein one end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the slider 26, and the other end of the second connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the second crank connecting portion of the second crank 19. It should be pointed out that the shape of the second connecting rod 29 can be adaptively set according to specific space conditions, and can be designed into a shape that meets the requirements when it is necessary to avoid a specific structure, wherein the arc shape or the straight plate shape is a relatively conventional design, but the shape of the second connecting rod 29 is not limited to the arc or straight plate structure.

As shown in FIG. 1-13, a fourth embodiment of the operating mechanism 100 is specifically as follows:

• • the operating mechanism 100 of the fourth embodiment differs from the operating mechanisms 100 of the first to third embodiments in that: as shown in FIGS. 2-3, 5-6, 8-9, and 12-13, the slide rails 25 are defined on the bracket 50, and the slider 26 is in limiting fit the slide rails 25 to prevent the slider 26 from sliding while the operating mechanism 100 is in a disconnected state or a tripped state. The slide rails 25 provide a guiding function for the slider 26, and also serve as supporting points to provide a supporting force for the first connecting rod 27 and the slider 26, so that the operating mechanism 100 may have a stable closing position, disconnecting position and tripping position without cooperating with the contact support 110, making the operating mechanism 100 become an independently operable mechanism, which is conducive to the modularized assembly and production of the operating mechanism 100, and provides more design space for the distribution of the operating mechanism 100 in the circuit breaker shell 3. In addition, in actual production, the operating mechanism 100 does not need to cooperate with the contact system, which avoids the loss of the contact system during the test process, improves the assembly efficiency, and helps reduce R&D and production cost. Further, the operating mechanism 100 of the fourth embodiment can be independently switched among the closed state, the disconnected state and the tripped state in the case that the second connecting rod 29, the contact support 110 and the moving contact 9 are detached.

As shown in FIGS. 1-6, two ends of the swing stroke of the rocker arm 45 are a first stroke end and a second stroke end, respectively; two ends of the first spring 22 are a first spring end 220 and a second spring end 221 respectively, which are connected to the rocker arm assembly and the first crank 30 respectively; and an axis line of the first spring 22 is a first axis line, a first axis line side and a second axis line side are respectively located on two sides of the first axis line. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, in the case that the operating mechanism 100 is in the closed state, the rocker arm 45 is located at the first stroke end, the re-buckle 15 is in limiting fit with the latch 13, the latch 13 is in latching fit with the jump buckle 60, the crank limiting portion 31 is in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60 to prevent the first crank 30 from rotating in the first direction, and the first axis 67m is located at the first axis line side.

At this time, the assembly of the first spring 22 is completed, and the operating mechanism 100 enters the second assembly state as shown in FIG. 20. Further, in a direction shown in FIGS. 17-18, and 20-21, the right end of the jump buckle 60 is the jump buckle pivoting end; “one end of the first crank 30 swings away from the jump buckle pivoting end” refers that the lower end of the first crank 30 swings clockwise; and “the first crank 30 swings in the direction of the jump buckle pivoting end” refers that the lower end of the first crank 30 swings counterclockwise.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 25, the jump buckle 60 further includes a jump buckle protrusion 66; and in the first assembly state, the jump buckle protrusion 66 limits a swing position of the first crank 30. Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the jump buckle protrusion 66 in the first assembly state is in limiting fit with the first crank 30.

Based on the fifth embodiment of the operating mechanism 100, the present invention further provides an assembly method of an operating mechanism, which can complete the assembly of the first spring 220 easily and quickly and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the entire operating mechanism 100 and realizing automatic assembly. The assembly method of the operating mechanism includes the following steps.

Step I, Aligning the jump buckle hole 605 of the jump buckle 60 to the bracket hole 508 of the bracket 50, and inserting the positioning pin shaft 17 inside the jump buckle 605 and the bracket hole 508, such that the operating mechanism enters the first assembly state.

Further, in the step I, the jump buckle hole 605 is aligned with the bracket hole 508, the positioning pin shaft 17 is mounted in the jump buckle hole 605 and the bracket hole 508, and the rocker arm 45 swings away from the jump buckle pivoting end, such that the first spring shaft 46 is in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60; and the first crank 30 swings away from the jump buckle pivoting end to be in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60, such that the operating mechanism 100 enters the first assembly state. At this time, a spacing between an axis line of the first spring shaft 46 and an axis line of the second spring shaft 16 is less than or equal to the length of the first spring 22.

Step II, Assembling two ends of the first spring 22 to the first spring shaft 46 and the second spring shaft 16 respectively in the first assembly state; and swinging the rocker arm 45 toward the jump buckle pivoting end, wherein the rocker arm 45 drives the first spring 22 and the first crank 30 to rotate, such that the operating mechanism enters the second assembly state.

Further, in the step II, two ends of the first spring 22 are assembled to the first spring shaft 46 and the second spring shaft 16, respectively; the rocker arm 45 swings in the direction where the jump buckle pivoting end is located, the rocker arm 45 drives the first spring 22 through the first spring shaft 46 to swing around the second spring shaft 16, and the axis of the first spring 22 swings over the rotation center (i.e., the first axis 67m) of the first crank 30; the first spring 22 drives the rocker arm 45 to swing to one end of the swing stroke of the rocker arm assembly, and meanwhile, the first spring 22 drives the first crank 30 to swing in the direction of the jump buckle pivoting end to the first crank 30 till being in limiting fit with the jump buckle 60 again. The operating mechanism enters the second assembly state, and the first spring 22 completes the assembly.

Further, the assembly method of the operating mechanism of the present invention further includes a step III, i.e., assembling the reset structure 42 of the rocker arm assembly on the rocker arm 45 in the second assembly state, drawing the positioning pin shaft 17 off, and driving the jump buckle 60 by the first spring 22 to rotate to be in limiting fit with the reset structure 42.

Further, the assembly method of the operating mechanism of the present invention further includes steps IV and V, the orders of which may be interchangeable: in the step IV, the slider 26 is assembled on the slide rails 25, and two ends of the first connecting rod 27 are rotatably assembled on the second spring shaft 16 and the slider 26, respectively. In the step V, the latch 13 is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50 through the latch shaft 12 respectively, and the re-buckle 15 is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50 through a re-buckle shaft 14.

Further, the assembly method of the operating mechanism of the present invention further includes the following operations: prior to the step I, the second spring shaft 16 is assembled on the first crank 30, the first crank 30 is pivotally disposed on the jump buckle 60 around the first axis 67m, and the jump buckle 60 is pivotally disposed on the bracket 50; and the first spring shaft 46 is mounted on the rocker arm 45 of the rocker arm assembly, and the rocker arm 45 is pivotally disposed in the V-shaped groove of the bracket 50.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7-16, and 35, the moving contact mechanism further includes a contact spring 23, wherein one end of the contact spring 23 is connected to the moving contact 9, and the other end of the contact spring 23 is connected to the contact support 110. When the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed, a first acting force is applied to the moving contact 9 so that the moving contact 9 presses the static contact 18. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7-16, and 35, one end of the contact spring 23 is connected to the moving contact 9 through a third spring shaft 201, and the other end of the contact spring 23 is rotatably connected to the contact support 110 through the fourth spring shaft 202. Further, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 33, the moving contact 9 includes a moving conductive rod 90, wherein the moving conductive rod 90 is provided with a conductive rod clamping groove 902 cooperated with the third spring shaft 201.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 14-16, the contact spring 23 may also achieve the locking of the moving contact 9, to be specific: two ends of the contact spring 23 are a third spring end and a fourth spring end respectively, wherein the third spring end is connected to the moving contact 9, the fourth spring end is connected to the contact support 110, a geometric axis line of the contact spring 23 is a second axis line, and the second axis line coincides with a connecting line of the third spring end and the fourth spring end; as shown in FIG. 11, the second axis line is located on one side of the third axis 111s when the moving contact 9 is normally closed or disconnected, and the contact spring 23 keeps the moving contact 9 in a normally closed position or a normally disconnected position; the moving contact 9 rotates relative to the contact support 110 when the moving contact 9 is repelled by an electric repulsion force generated by a short-circuit current; and the moving contact 9 drives the contact spring 23 to rotate around the fourth spring end, so that the second axis line swings to the other side of the third axis 111s, and the moving contact 9 remains in a temporary breaking position. The moving contact mechanism includes a contact support 110, a moving contact 9 and a contact spring 23. The moving contact mechanism has a simple structure. The contact spring 23 realizes the overtravel of the moving contact 9 to ensure the reliable contact between the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18; and the contact spring 23 locks the moving contact 9 in the temporary breaking position when the moving contact 9 is repelled by an electric repulsion force generated by the short-circuit current, so that the moving contact 9 does not rebound in the occurrence of a short-circuit fault, which ensures the reliable breaking of the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18. It should be pointed out that when the moving contact 9 is located in the temporary breaking position, if the operating mechanism 100 switches from the closed state to the disconnected state, the moving contact 9 automatically acts from the temporary breaking position to a normal disconnecting position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed, and the short-circuit current flows through the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18. Due to a current direction in the moving contact 9 being opposite to a current direction of a part, opposite to the moving contact 19, of the static contact 18, an electric repulsion force is generated between the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18, so that the moving contact 9 is repulsed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 14-16, the contact spring 23 passes through a second dead center position when the moving contact 9 drives the contact spring 23 to rotate and thus the second axis line swings from one side of the third axis 111s to its other side; and as shown in FIG. 15, the third axis 111s is located on the second axis line when the contact spring 23 is located in the second dead center position.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, in the case that the circuit breaker of the present invention is normally closed or normally disconnected, the contact spring 23 and the contact support 110 act synchronously and are relatively stationary. The second axis line of the contact spring 23 is always kept on the same side of the third axis 111s, and undergoes a small deformation only when the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed, so as to provide an overtravel force for the moving contact 9, thereby ensuring that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are tightly closed. In the direction shown in FIGS. 14-16, when the short-circuit current flows through the circuit breaker of the present invention, the moving contact 9 will be repelled by the electric repulsion force generated by the short-circuit current, so that the moving contact 9 rotates in a counterclockwise direction relative to the contact support 110 (the contact support 110 remains stationary because the operating mechanism is in the closed state), and the moving contact 9 (through the third spring shaft 201) drives the contact spring 23 to rotate counterclockwise around the fourth spring end. As shown in FIG. 15, when the contact spring 23 rotates to the second dead center position, the energy storage of the contact spring 23 reaches a maximum value, and the third axis 111s is located on the second axis line. As shown in FIG. 16, the second axis line also passes the third axis 111s while the contact spring 23 passes the second dead center position. Therefore, the third axis 111s may also be regarded as the second dead center position, that is, the second axis passes the third axis 111s, i.e., the contact spring 23 passes the second dead center position. After the contact spring 23 passes the second dead center position, the energy is released and drives the moving contact 9 to quickly rotate to the temporary breaking position, so that the moving contact 9 remains in the temporary breaking position, and finally the second axis line is moved from the lower side of the third axis 111s to its upper side.

The present invention further discloses a moving contact assembly that can significantly improve the reliability of the connection between the conductor 70 and the moving contact 9, and realize a hard connection therebetween, to be specific:

• • as shown in FIGS. 29-34, and 45-46, the moving contact assembly includes a conductor 70, an inelastic fastener 80 and a moving contact 9, wherein the conductor 70 includes a first clamping arm 710 and a second clamping arm 711 which are disposed to face each other at intervals; the moving contact 9 includes a moving conductive rod 90 and a moving contact point 94; the moving contact point 94 is disposed at one end of the moving conductive rod 90; the moving conductive rod 90 includes a conductive rod contact portion disposed at the other end; the conductive rod contact portion is inserted between the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 and rotatably connected to the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711, respectively; and the fastener 80 is connected to the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 respectively, so that the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 clamp the conductive rod contact portion. Further, as shown in FIGS. 29-34, and 45-46, the conductor 70 further includes a conductor connecting plate 712, and two ends of the conductor connecting plate 712 are connected to the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 respectively by bending.

Compared with the prior art, such as in the Japanese patent JP3794163B2 in which a double-torsion-spring pressing conductor and a moving contact are adopted, the moving contact assembly of the present invention is characterized in that the fastener 80 achieves a hard connection between the conductor 70 and the conductive rod 90, which, under the premise of ensuring that the moving conductive rod 90 has a certain flexibility of action, ensures the reliable structure and electrical connection between the conductor 70 and the conductive rod contact portion.

It should be pointed out that the “inelastic fastener 80” means that the fastener 80 will not undergo an elastic deformation caused by external forces.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 30, 31, 34 and 45, the conductor 70 further includes a conductor connecting plate 712, and two ends of the conductor connecting plate 712 are connected to the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 by bending, respectively; and as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the fastener 80 is disposed between the conductor connecting plate 712 and the conductive rod contact portion, so that the first clamping arm 711 and the second clamping arm 710 clamp the conductive rod contact portion. Further, as shown in FIGS. 30, 31, 34, and 45, the conductor connecting plate 712, the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 are of a U-shaped structure as a whole. It should be pointed out that a clamping force of the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 for the moving conductive rod 90 may be adjusted by changing a length of a rivet body 802 and/or a position of the fastener 80 between the conductor connecting plate 712 and the moving conductive rod 90.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 30, 31, 34 and 45, the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 each include a clamping arm straight portion and a clamping arm bent portion, wherein two ends of the clamping arm bent portion are connected to the clamping arm straight portion and the conductor connecting plate 712 respectively by bending; the two clamping arm bent portions are offset by the clamping arm straight portions of the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 to the middle of the clamping arm connecting plate 712, respectively; the fastener 80 is disposed on the two clamping arm straight portions and fixedly connected to the two clamping arm straight portions, respectively; and the moving conductive rod 90 is rotatably connected to the two clamping arm straight portions. Further, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 34, the clamping arm straight portion of the first clamping arm 710 is provided with a first clamping arm hole 7101 and a first clamping arm shaft hole 7102 (or a first clamping arm shaft table 7103); and the clamping arm straight portion of the second clamping arm 711 is provided with a second clamping arm hole 7111 and a second clamping arm shaft hole 7112 (or a second clamping arm shaft table 7113).

Further, as shown in FIG. 38, the unit housing 120 includes a wiring board slot 120-4 that is in plug-in fit with a conductor wiring board 700.

Further, as shown in FIG. 31, in a state where the fastener 80 is not mounted, a spacing between the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 is D₁. As shown in FIG. 30, the thickness of the conductive rod contact portion is, D₁>D₀. The “in the state where the fastener 80 is not mounted” means that the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 are in an initial free state, but are not constrained by the fastener 80 if the fastener 80 and the conductor 70 have not been assembled together.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 45, an inner sidewall of the first clamping arm 710 is in point contact or line contact with the conductive rod contact portion, and an inner sidewall of the second clamping arm 711 is in surface contact with the conductive rod contact portion. A contact mode in which the first clamping arm 710 and the second clamping arm 711 are in contact with the conductive rod contact portion is conducive to increasing a contact area between the conductor 70 and the moving contact 9, improving the conductivity of the moving contact mechanism, and maintaining the movement performance between the conductor and the moving contact.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 45, one end of the fastener 80 is fixedly connected or in clamping connection with the first clamping arm 710, and the other end of the fastener 80 is fixedly connected to the second clamping arm 711. Further, the fastener 80 is a rivet, wherein one end of the rivet is a rivet head 801 in clamping connection with the first clamping arm 710, and the other end of the rivet is a riveting end 803 fixedly connected to the second clamping arm 711.

Further, as shown in FIG. 32, the fastener 80 is a rivet. Further, as shown in FIG. 32, an embodiment of the fastener 89 is as follows: the fastener 80 includes a rivet head 801, a rivet body 802 and a rivet end 803 which are disposed in sequence, wherein an outer diameter of the rivet head 801 is greater than an outer diameter of the rivet body 802, and a first annular table 804 is disposed at the connection between the rivet head 801 and the rivet body 802; and an outer diameter of the rivet body 802 is greater than an outer diameter of the rivet end 803, and a second annular table 805 is disposed at the connection between the rivet body 802 and the rivet end 803.

The reasons for the above contact modes are as follows: a second annular table 805 is in surface contact with the second clamping arm 711 in the course of riving the rivet, so the rivet head 801 will deform the connection (a bend 720) between the first clamping arm 710 and the conductor connecting plate 712, such that the first clamping arm 710 inclines in a direction where the second clamping arm 711 is located. Therefore, the first clamping arm 710 is in line contact or point contact with the moving conductive rod 90, and the moving conductive rod 90 is in surface contact with the second clamping arm 711. Therefore, a contact area between the conductive rod contact portion and the conductor 70 is significantly increased, the conductivity of the moving contact mechanism is improved, and the heat generation in the conductive process of the moving contact assembly is reduced to prolong the service life of the moving contact assembly.

The moving contact 9 in this embodiment does not need to be electrically connected by the conductor 70, but is directly disposed on the contact support 110.

As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 38, an embodiment of the static contacts 18 is provided: the static contact 18 include a static contact bridge 18-1 and a static contact point 18-0 disposed at one end of the static contact bridge 18-1; the static contact bridge 18-1 includes a U-shaped portion and a bending portion, wherein the bending portion is of a -shaped structure, and the static contact 18-0 is disposed on one side arm of the U-shaped portion; the bending portion includes a first plate and a second plate connected by bending, wherein two ends of the first plate are connected to the U-shaped portion and the second plate by bending respectively, and the second plate is disposed parallel to the side arm of the U-shaped portion.

As shown in FIGS. 39-44, the present invention also discloses a quick tripping device, in which the operating mechanism 100 quickly trips when the moving contact 9 is ejected due to a short-circuit fault of the circuit breaker, avoiding the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 from being closed again. In addition, the operating mechanism cannot trip in a normal breaking/closing process of the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18, and details are as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 39-44, the quick tripping device includes an operating mechanism, a moving contact mechanism and a static contact 18, wherein the moving contact mechanism includes a contact support 110 and a moving contact 9; the operating mechanism 100 is in driving connection to the moving contact mechanism, so that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed or disconnected. The quick tripping device further includes a first push rod 150 pivotally disposed on the contact support 110; the first push rod 150 includes a first push rod driven end and a first push rod driving end, wherein the first push rod driven end is in driving fit with the moving contact 9, and the first push rod driving end cooperates with the operating mechanism 100 to trip the operating mechanism; and a driving gap is formed between the first push rod driven end and the moving contact 9. When the moving contact 9 is electrically repelled by an electric repulsion force generated by a short-circuit current, the moving contact 9 rotates relative to the contact support 110, and the moving contact 9 rotates around the driving gap, then contacts with the first push rod driven end and drives the first push rod 150 to rotate, so that the operating mechanism 100 is tripped. According to the quick tripping device of the present invention, the moving contact 9 and the contact support 110 rotate synchronously. Therefore, the driving gap between the first push rod driven end and the moving contact 9 remains unchanged while the moving contact mechanism rotates such that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed or disconnected normally, but the moving contact 9 will rebound when the moving contact 9 is in contact with the static contact 18. In the presence of the driving gap, a certain buffer space may be provided for the reasonable vibration generated when the moving contact 9 and the static contact 8 are closed, thereby avoiding the misoperation of the quick tripping device. However, if a short-circuiting fault occurs, the moving contact 9 is quickly repulsed by an electric repulsion force, and driven by the first push rod 150, an intermediate transmission structure and the second push rod 18, and the second push rod 18 drives the re-buckle 15 to release the limiting fit from the latch 13, such that the latch 13 releases the latching fit from the jump buckle 60, and the circuit breaker can be disconnected quickly.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39, the contact support 110 drives the first push rod 150 and the moving contact 9 to rotate clockwise/counterclockwise synchronously in response to the normal closing/disconnecting operation of the circuit breaker, such that a driving gap is always remained between the first push rod 150 and the moving contact 9, and the quick tripping device will not be triggered. In particular, due to the hard contact between the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 when the circuit breaker of the present invention is closed normally, the moving contact 9 will rebound to a certain extent. Due to the existence of the driving gap, the moving contact 9 will not contact the first push rod 150 when it rebounds, so the quick tripping device will not be driven. As shown in FIG. 40, the huge electric repulsion force causes the moving contact 9 to be repulsed when the short-circuit current flows through the circuit breaker of the present invention, and a rotation angle of the moving contact 9 is much greater than a rebound amplitude that appears when the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are closed. Therefore, the moving contact 9 will turn around the driving gap and then contact the first push rod driven end to drive the first push rod 150 to rotate, and the first push rod driving end drives the operating mechanism 100 to trip (even if the latch 13 releases the latching fit from the jump buckle 60), so that the circuit breaker is quickly tripped or disconnected, avoiding the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 from being closed again.

It should be pointed out that the “the moving contact 9 is repelled by the short-circuit current” refers that: in the case that the short-circuit current flows through the closed moving contact 9 and U-shaped static contact 18, a large electric repulsion force is generated between the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 since the U-shaped static contact 18 has a short-circuit current in the opposite direction, so that the moving contact 9 and the static contact 18 are disconnected.
