TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage apparatuses, in particular
to a multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] A multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker is an extensively
used devices circuit breaker in low-voltage circuit breakers. All the parts and components
of the multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker are mounted in
a box-type plastic case. A molded insulation plastic case of the multi-pole double-break
contact plastic case circuit breaker generally comprises a plastic case base as a
case base and a plastic case cover plate matched with the plastic case base, and the
plastic case base and the plastic case cover plate constitute a chamber. Circuit breaking
units of a plurality of poles, each of which including a contact system configured
to execute closing and breaking of a circuit and an arc extinguishing system thereof,
are arranged in the molded insulation case. As a typical structure, each circuit breaking
unit has a box of the same specification, which is made of molded plastic, and contacts,
arc extinguishing chambers and matched members of one pole are mounted in the box.
A plurality of circuit breaking units which have the same structure are arranged in
the plastic case base side by side, wherein a shared operating mechanism is arranged
on the circuit breaking units, and each circuit breaking unit and the operating mechanism
are encapsulated inside the chamber by the plastic case cover plate to form a multi-pole
circuit breaker. The contact system of each pole comprises two movable contact components
and a double-contact point movable contact bridge which can be in contact with or
separated from the static contact components of this pole under the driving of the
operating mechanism, wherein the double-contact point bridge-shaped movable contact
is matched with two static contacts arranged oppositely. Two arc extinguishing chambers
of each pole include arc extinguishing grids which are mounted inside two arc extinguishing
chambers symmetrically. Because a user requires favorable closing and breaking capacities
and thermal stability of such circuit breaker, but parts and components constituting
the contacts, the arc extinguishing systems and releasing and operating mechanisms
are miscellaneous, and movable and static connection fit links formed after assembly
of the parts and components are large in quantity and complicated, the performances,
such as the breaking capacity, the action synchronism of contacts of each pole, the
contact pressure of the movable contacts and the static contact and breaking and closing
speeds, of such circuit breaker and the product reliability are greatly related to
the reasonability in structure design of the circuit breaker, and the machining and
assembling precision of parts and components, however, the machining and assembling
precision of parts and components is directly related to the production efficiency
and the manufacturing cost. In consideration of the requirements of improving the
production efficiency, reducing the manufacturing cost and facilitating large-scale
automatic production, on the promise of ensuring the product quality and performance
requirements, it is always an important problem to be solved in structural design
to reduce the machining and assembling precision of parts and components as much as
possible and simplify assembling and debugging processes as much as possible.
[0003] There also exists a multi-pole circuit breaker in the prior art, which only has single
pole circuit breaking units, wherein a bridge-shaped contact of the circuit breaker
is supported by a rotary rod-shaped block, the rod-shaped block extends transversely
out from the center of a box of each circuit breaking unit, is inserted into two big
side surfaces of the box and can move transversely in parallel to the centers of the
two big surfaces; these rod-shaped blocks of different parallel units are coupled
with a crank of the operating mechanism through two parallel connecting rods; the
shared operating mechanism is fixed at the upper part of the middle circuit breaking
unit of the circuit breaker and is provided with two metal flanges for supporting
a bearing of the crank and a connecting rod for driving the bottom of the crank. The
actions of the operating mechanism are transferred to the rod-shaped rod of each pole
upon the rotation of the crank to drive two connecting rods, such that the movable
and static contacts of each pole are broken or closed. Since the bridge-shaped movable
contact of the circuit breaker is mounted on each rod-shaped block in a floating manner,
and different rod-shaped blocks are mechanically connected just by two connecting
rods, the following problems are caused: the relative deformation among the rod-shaped
blocks of poles are great relatively due to a slender structure of the two connecting
rods, such deformation directly affecting the action synchronism of the bridge-shaped
movable contact; because two connecting rods are very low in rotation precision per
se and have slender structures, the two connecting rods does not possess a function
of providing the rotation precision for each rod-shaped block, and therefore the rotation
precision of each rod-shaped block is ensured necessarily relying on a clearance between
the rod-shaped block and the box, but the defect of a manufacturing error needs to
be compensated by virtue of said clearance, and this compensation will damage the
rotation precision of the rod-shaped block, therefore it is necessary for each rod-shaped
block to be mounted in the box with a certain clearance. That is to say, the clearance
between the rod-shaped block and the box cannot be made to be very small, but high-precision
rotation of each rod-shaped block cannot be realized if the clearance is large relatively;
airflow generated during circuit breaking is inevitably discharged from the clearance
between each rod-shaped block and the box, and the high-temperature airflow with great
impact will inevitably cause random damage to the clearance, thereby causing instability,
even easy failure of rotation precision of each rod-shaped block with increase of
the service time of the product. However, the rotation precision of each rod-shaped
block is a key to ensure the synchronism of breaking and closing actions of the contacts
and the contact pressure performances of the movable and static contacts that are
closed, and therefore such prior art has a very high requirement on the machining
precision and the assembling precision of related parts and components, and the action
synchronism among contacts of each pole, the contact pressure performances of contacts
of each pole, the breaking capacity of the contacts, the reliability and the service
life of the product, and the like are waiting to be further improved.
[0004] There still exists a multi-pole circuit breaker in the prior art, which only has
multi-pole circuit breaking units, wherein movable contacts of a plurality of circuit
breaking units of the circuit breaker are arranged on one rotating shaft through contact
supports, and the integrally designed rotating shaft is mounted on a partition wall
of a big plastic case through a bearing cover and a bearing base. A bridge-shaped
movable contact is mounted on the contact supports on the rotating shaft in a floating
manner, each contact support is integrally, rigidly and mechanically connected with
the rotating shaft, and therefore the action consistency of the movable contact and
the rotating shaft of each pole is improved, and the defect of a manufacturing error
can be compensated by virtue of an overtravel difference between the contact bridge
and two static contacts. However, the new problem lies in: it is necessary to improve
the machining precision requirements on parts and components in order to ensure ideal
fit assembly between the rigid integrated rotating shaft and the big plastic case,
and it is necessary to ensure that a rigid friction surface of fit movement between
the rotating shaft and the bearing cover as well as the bearing base has very high
wear resistance, or wear of the rotating shaft and failure of the precision of parts
and components still will cause asynchronism of actions of the movable contact of
each pole relative to static contacts; since it is very difficult to ensure high machining
precision of parts and components in large-scale production, which will increase in
cost and reduction in production efficiency, it is necessary to increase a fit clearance
between the rotating shaft and the bearing cover as well as the bearing base, or the
problem of inflexible rotation of the rotating shaft will be caused to directly affect
the breaking and closing speeds of the contacts, whereas increase of the fit clearance
will affect the rotation precision of the rotating shaft.
[0005] It is a very good idea to solve the problems encountered by the multi-pole double-break
contact plastic case circuit breaker using the advantages of high rotation precision
and flexible rotation of rolling bearings, but, in specific implements, it is also
necessary to solve a series of technical problems, for example: how to realize a structure
in which inner rings of enclosed rolling bearings are conveniently mounted to the
middle of the rotating shaft which has two thick ends and a thin middle, how to ensure
the rigidity, the precision of form and position and the rotation precision of a rotary
structure composed of the contact supports and the rolling bearings, and how to satisfy
the technical requirements, such as easy machining, assembly and debugging, fewer
parts, low manufacturing cost and suitability for large-scale production of a complicated
structured composed of a plurality of rolling bearings, contact supports, movable
contacts, circuit breaking units and the plastic case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0021] Specific embodiments of a multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker
of the present invention are further illustrated as below in conjunction with the
embodiments provided by Figs. 1 to 14. The following embodiments of the circuit breaker
of the present invention are described just as non-restrictive examples.
[0022] The embodiment in the exploded drawing of the overall structure as illustrated in
Fig. 1 is a three-pole double-break contact circuit breaker, which comprises an upper
cover 1, an intermediate cover 2, an operating mechanism 4, a handle 5 and a case
base 21. The case base 21 and the intermediate cover 2 and the upper cover 1 which
are matched with the case base 21 and mounted on the case base 21 constitute an insulation
case of the multi-pole double-break contact circuit breaker together, the insulation
case being referred to as a big plastic case. The insulation case is made of PBT or
PA66 engineering plastic and is in a hexahedron shape approximately. Internal members
of the multi-pole double-break contact circuit breaker are mounted inside the big
plastic case assembled by the case base 21 and the intermediate cover 2, the upper
part of the intermediate cover 2 of the big plastic case is sealed by the upper cover
1, and the handle 5 penetrates out from a hole in the intermediate cover 2.
[0023] Referring to Figs. 1-3, a plurality of chambers 22 for accommodating a plurality
of single pole circuit breaking units 30 and separated by partition walls g are arranged
in the insulation case, that is, each chamber 22 is internally provided with a single
pole circuit breaking unit 30 of one pole. Each single pole circuit breaking unit
30 has a unit plastic case which is in a hexahedron shape approximately. The unit
plastic case is also referred to as a small plastic case which is internally provided
with a contact system configured to execute closing and breaking of a main circuit
where the unit case is located, and a matched arc extinguishing system. Or to say,
the contact system and the arc extinguishing system of one pole are encapsulated in
the small plastic case. With respect to the double-break contact plastic case circuit
breaker, the contact system of each pole certainly comprises two static contacts 14,16
that are configured oppositely and a bridge-shaped movable contact 20 which can be
simultaneously closed with and broken from the two static contacts 14, 16 respectively,
to be specific, the bridge-shaped movable contact 20 is simultaneously closed with
the two static contacts 14,16 or simultaneously broken from the static contacts 14,
16, and the main circuit controlled by the circuit breaker is switched on when the
movable contact and the static contacts are closed, and is switched off when the movable
contact is broken from the static contacts. With respect to the double-break contact
plastic case circuit breaker, the arc extinguishing system of each pole needs to comprise
two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 which are arranged in the small plastic case symmetrically,
two arc extinguishing grids 15a, 15b are arranged in the two arc extinguishing chambers
6, 9 respectively, the two static contacts 14,16 are arranged in arc extinguishing
areas of the two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 respectively, and the arc extinguishing
areas where the two static contacts 14, 16 are located are areas where the bridge-shaped
movable contact 20 is in closing and breaking fit with the two static contacts 14,
16 respectively. Each bridge-shaped movable contact 20 is mounted on a contact support
17 or 18 in an elastic overtravel manner to form a movable contact bridge assembly
40, thereby realizing the structure of such elastic overtravel manner. As illustrated
in Fig. 9, an elastic overtravel assembly 20a comprises an overtravel spring by which
the bridge-shaped movable contact 20 is mounted in a big through hole 182 of the contact
support 17 or 18. An operating mechanism 4 shared by multiple poles is arranged above
the circuit breaking unit of the middle pole, and drives each of the support contacts
17, 18 by a driving mechanism to synchronously rotate. There are a plurality of mounting
structures provided for the operating mechanism 4. Generally, a structure in which
a stander (not shown in drawings) of the operating mechanism is fixedly connected
with the case base 21 is adopted to facilitate assembly and debugging. Each of the
operating mechanisms of such kind of circuit breaker is provided with a driving mechanism
for driving the contacts to rotate. The driving mechanism certainly comprises a contact
coupling piece (not shown in Drawings). The operating mechanism is connected with
the bridge-shaped movable contact through the contact coupling piece (directly or
indirectly) to realize linkage between the contact coupling piece and the bridge-shaped
movable contact, i.e., the contact system is driven by the contact coupling piece
to make closing and breaking actions.
[0024] The improvements and innovations of the present invention will be further described
as below in conjunction with drawings, with its cores about how to simultaneously
drive the contact supports 17, 18 of each pole to rotate by the operating mechanism,
how to ensure the rotation synchronism and flexibility of the contact supports 17,
18 of each pole, how to obtain an optimized structure easily achieving large scale,
high efficiency and low cost production, how to reduce the manufacturing precision
and cost of parts and components of the movable contact bridge assembly, how to improve
the overall performances of the movable contact bridge assembly and improve the production
efficiency, and how to solve the defects in terms of strength requirements, temperature
resistance requirements, insulation performances and the like of the movable contact
bridge assembly in long-term use of the circuit breaker.
[0025] Referring to Figs. 1-14, the multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit
breaker of the present invention further comprises a plurality of rolling bearings
19, wherein outer rings of the rolling bearings 19 are fixedly mounted on the partition
walls g through a bearing mechanism, inner rings of the rolling bearings 19 are directly
connected with the contact support 17 or 18 in a stationary fit manner, and two adjacent
contact supports 17 and/or 18 are in plug connection directly in a stationary manner.
By means of such structure, a plurality of rolling bearings 19 and the contact support
17 or 18 form the movable contact bridge assembly 8 as illustrated in Fig. 9. The
stationary fit manner refers to that two parts that are matched with each other are
connected by fit without moving oppositely, including interference fit or transition
fit.
[0026] A cylindrical chamber b for accommodating a contact support 17 or 18 is arranged
between two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 of the unit plastic case of each single-pole
circuit breaking unit 30, wherein the cylindrical chamber b comprises a circular arc
surface a; two arc insulating walls 6a, 9a are arranged between the cylindrical chamber
b and two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 respectively and respectively provided with
two windows that are communicated with each other; two ends of the bridge movable
contact 20 extend into the two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 respectively from two
windows; each of the contact support 17, 18 comprises an outer cylindrical surface
183 which is matched with the circular arc surface a, and a fit clearance is arranged
between the outer cylindrical surface 183 and the circular arc surface a. It should
be understood that the so-called fit clearance refers to that a clearance between
the outer cylindrical surface 183 of the contact support 17 and the circular arc surface
a of the small plastic case of the single pole circuit breaking unit 30 can be fit
with a clearance between the contact support 18 and the circular arc surface a of
the small plastic case of the single pole circuit breaking unit 30, thereby not only
ensuring that the contact supports 17, 18 can rotate therein flexibly, but also preventing
high-pressure gas in the two arc extinguishing chambers from leaking to the circular
chamber b because each of the clearances is very small enough. Of course, the fit
clearance of the present invention not only has the function of preventing high-voltage
gas in the arc extinguishing chambers from leaking to the cylindrical chamber, but
also has a function of improving the rotation precision and rigidity of the contact
supports. However, the "micro clearance" or "certain clearance" in the prior art mainly
has a function of preventing high-pressure gas in the arc extinguishing chambers from
leaking to the circular chamber, or enabling rod-shaped blocks to move slightly in
other direction in order to compensate the irregularity in manufacturing and mounting.
In order to obtain a more ideal fit, a preferred solution lies in that the axis of
the outer cylindrical surface 183 of each of the contact supports 17, 18, the axis
of each contact support connecting segment 180 and the axis of each connecting shaft
hole are coaxial mutually.
[0027] The movable contact bridge assembly 8 consists of a plurality of contact supports
that are in plug connection directly, wherein a connecting shaft that is integrally
formed is arranged at one end of the contact support of one single pole circuit breaking
circuit 30 in two adjacent single pole circuit breaking units 30 in an axial direction
X of the contact support, and a connecting shaft hole 100 corresponding to the connecting
shaft is formed in one end of the contact support of the other single pole circuit
breaking unit 30 in an axial direction X of the contact support; the connecting shaft
hole 100 is connected with the connecting shaft in a stationary fit manner; rolling
bearings 19 are arranged on the connecting shaft of the two adjacent contact supports,
wherein inner rings of the rolling bearings 19 are directly connected with the connecting
shaft in a stationary fit manner. There are a plurality of specific structures can
be provided for the contact supports, and a preferred structure as illustrated in
Figs. 9-13 includes contact supports 18 and a contact support 17 which are slightly
different in shape. A rolling bearing connecting segment 181 which is coaxial with
the outer cylindrical surface 183 is arranged at one end of each contact support 18
in an axial direction X of the contact support, and a contact support connecting segment
180 extends out from one end of the rolling bearing connecting segment 181 in an axial
direction X of the contact support; a connecting shaft comprises the rolling bearing
connecting segment 181 and the contact support connecting segment 180 which are integrally
formed with the contact support 18; the diameter of the contact support connecting
segment 180 is less than that of the rolling bearing connecting segment 181, and the
rolling bearing connecting segment 181 is sleeved with the inner rings of the rolling
bearings 19 in a transition fit manner. The contact support 17 differs from each contact
support 18 in that: the contact support 17 is not provided with the rolling bearing
connecting segment 181 and the contact support connecting segment 180. The contact
support 18 is the same as each contact support 18 in the following structure: a connecting
shaft hole 100 is formed in the other end of each of the contact support 17, 18 in
an axial direction of the contact support, the connecting shaft hole 100 being used
for accommodating the adjacent contact support connecting segment 180 of the contact
support 17 or 18, and is connected with the contact support connecting segment 180
in an interference fit manner. In addition, the arrangement and connection of the
contact support connecting segment 180 and the connecting shaft hole 100 satisfy conditions
under which the outer cylindrical surfaces 183 of the contact supports 17, 18 are
coaxial; the outer cylindrical surface of each of the contact support 17, 18 is provided
with a big through hole 182 which is penetrated radially and used for accommodating
the bridge-shaped movable contact 20, two ends of the bridge-shaped movable contact
20 mounted inside the big through hole 182 through the elastic overtravel assembly
20a extend out of the outer cylindrical surface 183 symmetrically respectively, and
the two extending ends extend into parts inside the two arc extinguishing chambers
6, 9 respectively from two windows on two arc insulating walls 6a, 9a of the single
pole circuit breaking unit 30. Another more preferred solution is as illustrated in
Fig. 14, wherein the circuit breaker comprises three single pole circuit breaking
units 30 that are arranged side by side. Each single pole circuit breaking unit 30
comprises a contact support, and three contact supports are in plug connection directly
to form a movable contact bridge assembly 8. A connecting shaft is arranged at each
of two ends of the middle contact support of the single pole circuit breaking unit
30 in an axial direction X of the contact support, the connecting shaft being integrally
formed and being coaxial with the outer cylindrical surface 183 of the contact support;
the connecting shaft at two ends of the middle contact support are sleeved with the
inner rings of two rolling bearings 19 respectively in a stationary fit manner; a
connecting shaft hole 100 which is connected with the connecting shaft in a stationary
fit manner is formed in one end of each of the two contact support of the single pole
circuit breaking unit 30 in an axial direction X of the contact support. In addition,
the arrangement and connection of the connecting shaft and the connecting shaft hole
100 satisfy conditions under which the outer cylindrical surfaces 183 of all the contact
supports are coaxial. The coaxiality of the outer cylindrical surfaces 183 of the
movable contact bridge assembly 8 in this embodiment is better. Of course, the connecting
shaft in this embodiment may also comprise a rolling bearing connecting segment 181
and a contact support connecting segment 180. Because there is force transfer existing
in connection between the contact support connecting segment 180 and the connecting
shaft hole 100, in order to realize more stable and reliable stationary fit therebetween
and achieve higher rigidity, a preferred structure solution is as follows: the cross
section of the contact support connecting segment 180 of the contact support 18 is
of polygonal, or elliptical or other non-circular specially-shaped structure, and
the cross section of the connecting shaft hole 100 of each of the contact support
17,18 is of a polygonal, elliptical or other non-circular specially-shaped structure
matched with the cross section of the contact support connecting segment 180. In order
to realize more stable and reliable stationary fit between the rolling bearing connecting
segment 181 and the inner rings of the rolling bearings 19 and prevent the inner rings
of the rolling bearings 19 from slipping along the axial direction of the rolling
bearing connecting segment 181, a preferred solution is as follows: a shaft shoulder
184 which is in contact fit with the inner rings of the rolling bearings 19 is arranged
on the contact support connecting segment 180 of the contact support 18, an assembling
surface 185 which is in contact fit with the inner rings of the rolling bearings 19
is arranged on the outer end surface of the connecting shaft hole 100 of each of the
contact support 17, 18, and after the rolling bearings 19 are mounted on each contact
support, two end surfaces of the inner rings of the rolling bearings 19 butt against
the shaft shoulder 184 and the assembling surface 185 respectively to prevent the
rolling bearings 19 from shifting axially. Each of the contact supports 17, 18 is
made of DMC (Dough Moulding Compound) or SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) engineering
moulded plastic so as to improve the overall heat resistance performance of the circuit
breaker. During mounting, the connecting shaft of the contact supports 18 passes through
the metal rolling bearings 19 in an interference fit manner and is aligned and inserted
into two side surfaces e of the connecting shaft hole of the contact support 17, and
the side surfaces e are used to implement axial centralized positioning of the aligned
and inserted overall rotating shaft. Then, the contact supports 17, 18 are connected
in series by using two through shafts 7 to ensure the rigidity and positioning the
integrally spliced movable contact bridge assembly 8, and then the rotating shaft
is fixed at a bearing base f having a bearing semi-hole of the insulation plastic
case by using a fixing plate 3 and the metal rolling bearings 19 to realize centralized
positioning of the rotating shaft and the contacts may not shake.
[0028] The driving mechanism connected with the operating mechanism 4 comprises two through
shafts 7 which are arranged in parallel to each other, each of the contact supports
17, 18 is provided with two small through holes 18a arranged in an axial direction
X of the contact support, and the two through shafts 7 penetrate through the two small
through holes 18a in each of the contact supports 17, 18 respectively and are then
fixedly connected with a contact coupling piece of the operating mechanism 4, accordingly,
it is satisfied that a rotation axis of the contact coupling piece is coaxial with
the axis of the outer cylindrical surface 183 of each of the contact supports 17,
18, i.e., is coaxial with a rotation axis of each of the contact supports 17, 18.
The contact supports of each pole are connected in series adopting two through shafts
to ensure the synchronism and the centering property of the contact supports of each
pole, improve the overall rigidity and strength of the movable contact bridge assembly
and ensure the stress uniformity of the contact supports of each pole, such that a
solution is provided for improving a rated current of the circuit breaker, and the
problem in terms of synchronism caused by loosening of the contact supports after
the movable contact bridge assembly is operated repeatedly is solved; in addition,
the contact supports are more flexible and convenient to mount, and the assembling
process can be simplified. Due to the above special structures, the movable contact
bridge assembly 8 of the present invention has relatively high rotation precision
and rotation rigidity, or the precision and rigidity of mutual linkage between the
contact supports 17, 18 is very high, and therefore it is not difficult to conceive
that other contact supports 17, 18 can rotate synchronously as long as the operating
mechanism 4 drives one of the contact support 17 or 18 to rotate. Therefore the structures
of the embodiments provided by the above drawings can be substituted with the following
structure (not shown in drawings): the driving mechanism comprises two convex shafts
arranged on the contact coupling piece of the operating mechanism 4 and two small
through holes 18a which are formed in the contact support 17 or 18 of the contact
coupling piece close to each operating mechanism 4, wherein the two convex shafts
are in plug connection with the two small through holes 18a respectively to satisfy
that the rotation axis of the contact coupling piece is coaxial with the axis of the
outer cylindrical surface 183 of the contact support 17 or 18. It is obvious that
such substitution scheme is not adaptive in the above prior art, and because of the
deficiency in coaxiality and rotation precision of the prior art, this substitution
scheme cannot be adopted, or the action synchronism of each contact support reduces
significantly after the substitution scheme is adopted. Of course, the above substitution
scheme in which the structure can be simplified can be adopted as one of the following
beneficial technical effects of the present invention per se.
[0029] Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 9 and 10, the bearing mechanism comprises a fixing plate
3 having a bearing semi-hole and a bearing base f which is arranged on the partition
wall g and has a bearing semi-hole, wherein the fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected
with the bearing base f, such that the two bearing semi-holes are butted; the outer
rings of the rolling bearings 19 are connected and mounted with the two butted bearing
semi-holes in a stationary fit manner. It should be understood that, because the rolling
bearings 19 are adopted, the "manufacturing and mounting irregularity" can be compensated
by fixed connection of the fixing plate 3 and the bearing base f. But differing from
the prior art, such compensation in the present invention will not cause the reduction
in the coaxiality and the rotation precision; in order to realize the principle of
this effect, radial and axial positions of the rolling bearings 19 can be finely adjusted
when the fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected with the bearing base f, and by means
of such fine adjustment structure, stable and reliable fixed connection between the
outer rings of the rolling bearings 19 and the partition walls g can be realized,
and high-precision flexible rotation of the inner rings of the rolling bearings 19
can be ensured.
[0030] Referring to Figs. 1-6, a small plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking
unit 30 adopts a split structure, i.e.: the small plastic case of the single pole
circuit breaking unit 30 comprises a first small side case plate 10, a second small
side case plate 11, a third small side case plate 12 and a fourth small side case
plate 13, wherein the first small side case plate 10 and the second small side case
plate 11 are assembled oppositely to form a first arc extinguishing chamber 6 and
a semicylindrical chamber, and the third small side case plate 12 and the fourth small
side case plate 13 are assembled oppositely to form another arc extinguishing chamber
9 and a semicylindrical chamber; the arc extinguishing chamber 6 is provided with
a first clamping part c1 and a second clamping part c2; the another arc extinguishing
chamber 9 is provided with a third clamping part d1 and a fourth clamping part d2;
the first clamping part c1 is in clamping fit with the third clamping part d1 to form
fixed connection; the second clamping part c2 is in clamping fit with the fourth clamping
part d2 to form fixed connection; the two semicylindrical chambers are fixedly connected
through the two arc extinguishing chambers and assembled to form a complete cylindrical
chamber b; the two arc extinguishing chambers 6 and 9 can be split independently.
The present invention also has another technical effect: relative to the integral
rotating shaft, the small plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking unit 30
of the present invention also adopts an integral structure which can be alternately
substituted with the split structure, but is simpler than the split structure, and
therefore the precise fit between the circular arc surface a on the small plastic
case and the outer cylindrical surface 183 of each of the contact supports 17, 18
can be well ensured. The integral structure is as illustrated in Fig. 7-8: the small
plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking unit 30 comprises a first side big
case plate 23 and a second side big case plate 24 which are assembled into two arc
extinguishing chambers 6, 9 and a cylindrical chamber b, and the two arc extinguishing
chambers 6 and 9 are assembled integrally.
[0031] As illustrated in Figs. 1-2, the case base 21 of the big plastic case is provided
with pole partition walls g, wherein a fixing plate 3 required for fixing the rolling
bearings 19 is arranged on each partition wall g and can be detachably connected with
the bearing base f in a screw fastening manner so as to facilitate mounting and changing,
and the fixing plate 3 can adopt any one of systems suitable for such structure. In
one preferred embodiment, an upper semicircular bearing semi-hole and a lower semicircular
bearing semi-hole formed in the fixing plate 3 and the partition wall g respectively
constitute a structure for fixing the rolling bearings 19. A semicircular groove formed
by a body of the partition wall g is used as the bearing base f in the lower semicircle
and has a diameter matched with the outer diameter of each rolling bearing 19; the
fixing plate 3 having a bearing semi-hole as illustrated in Fig. 1 is used as a bearing
cover plate in the upper semicircle and has a diameter matched with the outer diameter
of each rolling bearing 19, and the fixing plate 3 is fixed on the big plastic case
through screws. The outer rings of the rolling bearings 19 are fixed in the case base
21 through fit connection between the bearing base f and the fixing plate 3. Due to
the adoption of this mounting structure, no loosening and convenient mounting of the
rolling bearings 19 as illustrated in Fig. 9 for positioning and supporting can be
ensured, and very flexible rotation performances of each contact support can be achieved.
Meanwhile, a series of problems affecting product performances caused by machining
errors and mounting errors, which have never been solved by the prior art, can be
overcome at the same time, and relatively high mounting and positioning precision
and enough bearing capacity can be obtained economically.
[0032] From the above, each of the existing circuit breakers is designed to be provided
with a rotary rod-shaped block or rotating shaft which is used for fixedly connecting
movable contact components of adjacent poles and supporting closing and breaking of
the movable contact bridges. In order to realize the consistency in configuration
of different circuit breaking units, it is necessary to ensure precise fit between
the rotating shaft and the big plastic case of the circuit breaker, which depends
on the precision of the rod-shaped block or rotating shaft and a metal specially-shaped
shaft connected in series therewith to act. However, the metal specially-shaped shaft
is machined hardly, and the size precision is hard to ensure not to reduce the insulation
performance and strength of the rotating shaft, and the manufacturing and assembling
errors of the rotating shaft for supporting closing and breaking of the movable contact
bridge is difficult to arrive at the supporting precision and assembling precision
requirements of designed related parts and components, and therefore reliable mechanical
connection and transmission among units of each pole cannot be realized. In the present
invention, as improvements to the contact supports serving as core components of the
circuit breaker and the synchronism as well as the arc extinguishing system of the
circuit breaker, the ideal coaxiality, rigidity and flexibility of the rotation axis
of each of the contact supports 17, 18 with the bridge-shaped movable contact 20 of
each pole are realized by directly performing plug connection on a plurality of contact
supports skillfully, adding the rolling bearings to the directly connected structure
skillfully and connecting the contact supports of each pole in series by the two mutually
parallel through shafts 7, the defects of strength reduction, poor temperature resistance,
insulation performance reduction and the like of the movable contact bridge of each
pole in long-term use of the circuit breaker in the past because the contact supports
are arranged on one rotating shaft are solved, and the technical indexes in terms
of the breaking capacity, working stability and the like of the low-voltage plastic
case circuit breaker are completely improved. In the present invention, the double-break
contact bridge-shaped movable contact is supported by the contact support 17 or 18,
without the need of arranging a rotating shaft between the contact supports of adjacent
poles, or without the need of arranging a connecting rod between the contact supports
of each pole, and each contact support is directly connected with one of the adjacent
contact supports 18, therefore connecting points are reduced to improve the coaxiality.
A rolling bearing 19 is arranged between every two adjacent contact supports and is
fixedly mounted on a partition wall g of the big plastic case of the circuit breaker.
The rotation center of each contact support is defined by the rotation center of the
rolling bearing 19, such that the rotation axis of each of the contact supports 17,
18 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the rolling bearing 19. Because each rolling
bearing 19 has extremely high rotation precision and sensitivity, high rotation sensitivity
and high rotation precision of each contact support 18 are ensured. Each rolling bearing
19 only needs to be connected with the bearing connecting end extending out from the
contact support 18, and because one rotating shaft is reduced from each pole, the
precision of rotary support and the rigidity of anti-load deformation can be ensured
more easily, which is beneficial to realizing the synchronism among contacts. The
multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker disclosed by the invention
can ensure the precision requirements just relaying on the precision of a die itself,
reduces the inevitable influences from factors of poor coaxiality, rigidity and strength
due to more connecting links, and is easy to machine and debug.
