Description

TECHNICAL FIELD



[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low voltage apparatuses, in particular to a circuit breaker, and more particularly to a rotating shaft device of a circuit breaker.

BACKGROUND



[0002] Circuit breakers are of an important part of the electrical industry and have been widely used. When a circuit operates normally, the circuit breaker can achieve the functions of power failure, power supply and circuit conversion, etc., by powering on/off the circuit for supplying power. When the circuit is under overload, voltage loss, undervoltage or short circuit failure, the circuit breaker can automatically power off the circuit, to avoid the harms to the safety of the staff and the normal operation of the equipment caused by the circuit failure. The rotating shaft of the existing circuit breaker is fixed and riveted on a support supported by a contact by means of a clamping plate. As long as the riveting position is loose, the rotating shaft, the clamping plate and the support will be loosened, and gaps gradually occur at the mating portions thereof, which causes a change in a travel position of the contact device, thereby creating gaps at the mating portions. In addition, the transmission of a driving force between an operating mechanism and the contact support is unbalanced, which easily causes a change in the travel position of the contact device and affects the safe use of electricity by a customer.
