A torsion spring 70 is fixed on the seventh shaft 88, one arm thereof functions on the housing 3, the other arm functions on a eighth shaft 89 of the link rod 54. The torsion spring 70 produces a clockwise force on the link rod 54. The electromagnetic release 63 is fixed on a fifth shaft 86 and a sixth shaft 87 of the housing 3. It can be seen more clearly in Fig. 8c the space allocation condition among the components, such as the lock 52, link rod 54, jump cue 56, reset rod 61, trip lever 59, etc,. On the width direction, the link rod 54 and the reset rod 61 are coplanar, the jump cue 56 and the trip lever 59 are coplanar, the area of the lower portion 83 of the elastic reed 60 is larger than other positions of the reed, so that it can contact the trip lever 59 on the width direction.
[0054] At the tripping state, as shown in Figs. 8a-8c, two release surfaces of the lock 52 and jump cue 56 at can be seen under this state, the first release surface 75 and the second release surface 76 are separate. At the closing state, the handle jacket of the breaker drives the handle 50 to overcome the force generated by the spring 49 and rotate counterclockwise. The handle 50 make the lock 52 and the jump cue 56 lock at the first release surface 75 and the second release surface 76 via the U-shaped rod 51, thereby the link rod 54 is driven to overcome the huge torsion force of the torsion spring 70 and rotated counterclockwise, the lance 81 at the lower portion of the link rod 54 hits the upper portion 80 of the reset rod 61, and drives the reset rod 61 and elastic reed 60 to rotate clockwise. The putter 79 on the electromagnetic release 63 is driven to return back to its initial position, and completes the reset of the electromagnetic release 63. At the same time, one arm 90 of the jump cue 56 drives one arm 91 of the trip lever 59, making the trip lever 59 rotate counterclockwise and resets.
[0055] When the above actions are completed, the leakage release mechanism 40 is at a closing state, as shown in Figs. 9a-9c.
[0056] When leakage current is detected by the instrument transformer 62, an action signal will be transmitted to the electromagnetic release 63 by the instrument transformer 62 to pop out the putter 79 of the electromagnetic release 63, thereby the lower portion 83 of the elastic reed 60 is hit, the hit force is transferred to a contacted convex portion 41 on the trip lever 59 via the elastic reed 60, and the trip lever 59 rotates clockwise, the lower portion 90 of the jump cue 56 will be hit by the upper portion 91 of the trip lever 59, and after a counterclockwise force acting on the jump cue 56, the first release surface (the upper release surface) 75 will be separated from the second release surface 76 of the lock 52, the release is completed by the leakage release mechanism 40, at the same time when the leakage release mechanism 40 is released, the ninth shaft 65 may be hit by the bend portion 82 of the link rod 54, the ninth shaft 65 is connected with the release rod of the first operation mechanism and the second operation mechanism of the first overcurrent protection pole and the second overcurrent protection pole of the breaker, thereby the breaker is released.
[0057] In Figs. 9a-9c, the popping out of the putter 79 of the electromagnetic release 63 is instantaneous, the U-shaped rod 51 connected with the handle cannot act instantaneously, therefore the lock 52 connected with the U-shaped rod 51 is at a temporary standstill state, while the jump cue 56 rotates counterclockwise under the momentum of the trip lever 59.
[0058] The numeral 38 in Fig. 3a indicates that the test button 55 locates at the upper surface 101 and side surface 108. The torsion spring 57 is fixed on the shaft 58 of the housing 3, one arm 68 of the torsion spring 57 is electrically connected with the second wire terminal (input wire terminal) of the second overcurrent protection pole 7 through the housing 3. The test resistor 19 is fixed inside the first overcurrent protection pole 6 (See Fig. 5), one pin of the test resistor 19 goes through the housing 2, and is fixed on a semi-pass slot 66, which locates between the area 28 (the first instantaneous short-circuit protection device 28) and the handle 50 (the leakage indicator handle), at the middle upper portion of housing 3 (See Fig. 7). Another pin of the test resistor 19 is electrically connected electrically with the coil 46 of the first instantaneous short-circuit protection device 28 of the first overcurrent protection pole 6, the coil 46 is pierced from the instrument transformer 62 via the soft wire 44 (the structure of the second instantaneous short-circuit protection device 34 and the coil 47 and the soft wire 45 are similar), and is soldered with the first wire terminal 24 (output terminal) of the first overcurrent protection pole 6. A fracture may be formed at a position 69 by another arm 67 of the torsion spring 57 and one pin of the test resistor 19.
[0059] When the test button 55 is depressed, one arm 67 of the torsion spring 57 is pressed by the pressure column at the lower portion of the test button, and is contacted with the pin of the test resistor 19 disposed in the semi-pass slot 66. The test circuit 22 is turned on to form test leakage current, then the leakage release mechanism 40 is released and the breaker is disconnected.
[0060] A spring 53 is tightly hooped on a cylinder of the test button 55, when the leakage mechanism is at the closing state, the lower portion of the spring 53 is vacant; when the leakage mechanism is at the tripping state, a tiny clockwise reset force is produced for the jump cue 56 by the spring 53 on a platform 77 at right side of the jump cue 56.
[0061] In Fig. 10, the leakage release mechanism is at the release state. The respective components shown in Fig. 10 are similar as those described in Figs. 8a-8c and Figs. 9a-9c, and will not be described repeatedly.
[0062] The effect of reducing the space volume is reached by the breaker with optimized space allocation of the present invention, the internal space of the breaker has been reasonably optimized and spatially arranged to integrate two overcurrent protection poles and a leakage protection module into one breaker product.
