Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3404691A1] An operating mechanism of a miniature circuit breaker comprises a handle, a driving connecting rod, a stationary contact and a moving contact, and further comprises a tension spring and a trip lever, one end of the driving connecting rod is hinged with the handle, the other end of the driving connecting rod is matched with the moving contact, one end of the tension spring is fixed on a housing, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the moving contact; the moving contact is driven by the tension spring and the driving connecting rod together to provide a contact pressure and an overstretching elastic force required for ensuring the reliability of electrical contact for closing the moving contact and the stationary contact, and the tension spring provides an energy storage elastic force required for resetting the mechanism for breaking the moving contact from the stationary contact; and the trip lever is arranged on the moving contact, and is used to control the locking and unlocking cooperation between the driving connecting rod and the moving contact, when a failure automatically occurs, the trip lever separates the driving connecting rod from the moving contact to automatically release the operation mechanism. The mechanism can effectively simplify the structure, reduce the manufacturing cost, improve the production efficiency, and optimize the mechanical performance.
