TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances,
in particular to a circuit breaker.
BACKGROUND
[0002] A low-voltage circuit breaker may be used to distribute electrical energy and protect
overload and short circuit of a line and power supply equipment, and may also be used

small size and modularization have become the trend of low-voltage circuit breakers.

but the circuit breaker with a leakage protection function usually adopts an integrated
structure. That is, a circuit breaker pole and a leakage protection module are integrated
in the same mounting cavity of a shell, so that the assembly in the production process
is relatively complex, and is not conducive to automatic production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0027] The following implementation of a circuit breaker of the present invention is further
described below in conjunction with the embodiments given in conjunction with FIGS.
1-13. The circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description
of the following embodiments.
[0028] A circuit breaker includes at least one first housing 11 and a second housing 12
spliced on one side of the first housing 11. At least one circuit breaker pole 2 is
assembled in the first housing 11. Each circuit breaker pole 2 includes at least one
single-phase main line. A leakage protection module 3 is assembled in the second housing
12. The leakage protection module 3 includes a wiring terminal and a zero-sequence
current transformer 34. An outgoing conductive member 45 is connected to the at least
one single-phase main line. A wiring lug is connected to the wiring terminal. A wiring
port is formed in a side wall on one side of the first housing 11 immediately adjacent
to the second housing 12. The outgoing conductive member 45 and/or the wiring lug
form a plug-and-unplug connection structure connected to a main loop through the wiring
port. The outgoing conductive member 45 and/or the wiring lug pass through a threading
hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34.
[0029] According to the circuit breaker of the present invention, the outgoing conductive
member 45 of the circuit breaker pole 2 and the wiring lug of the leakage protection
module 3 are matched to form the plug-and-unplug connection structure connected to
the main loop. The circuit breaker pole 2 and the leakage protection module 3 are
respectively two independent modules, so that the modular circuit breaker pole 2 and
the leakage protection module 3 can simultaneously meet the requirements for the main
loop to pass through a zero-sequence current transformer 34 during the assembly process,
thereby satisfying the modularization needs of existing circuit breakers and making
the wiring process more straightforward and convenient.
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1-13, the circuit breaker includes a shell. At least one circuit
breaker pole 2 is arranged in the shell. The shell includes at least one mounting
cavity for assembling the circuit breaker pole 2. When the shell has a plurality of
mounting cavities inside, the shell may include a plurality of partition plates fixedly
arranged inside the shell. Every two adjacent partition plates are spaced apart to
form the mounting cavity. Alternatively, the shell includes an upper cover, a base
and a partition plate assembled between the upper cover and the base. The upper cover
and the partition plate cover each other to form one mounting cavity. The base and
the other partition plate form another mounting cavity. The remaining partition plates
are respectively opposite each other in pairs to form a plurality of independent mounting
cavities. This independent mounting cavity may be used as a first housing 11, and
two adjacent first housings 11 may be assembled together, so that the shell of the
circuit breaker includes a plurality of assembled first housings 11.
[0031] A single-phase main line is arranged in each circuit breaker pole 2, that is, an
N-phase main line or a L-phase main line is arranged in each circuit breaker pole
2. For example, four circuit breaker poles 2 are arranged in the circuit breaker,
wherein three circuit breaker poles 2 are all L poles and are respectively provided
with a L-phase main line and an operating mechanism, and one circuit breaker pole
2 is provided with an N-phase main line and an operating mechanism. Alternatively,
two circuit breaker poles 2 are arranged in the circuit breaker, and the two circuit
breaker poles 2 are both L poles, or an L pole and an N pole, respectively. Of course,
it is also possible to arrange a two-phase main line in the same circuit breaker pole
2 at the same time. For example, the L-phase main line and the N-phase main line are
arranged in one circuit breaker pole 2 at the same time. Alternatively, a two-phase
L-phase main line may also be arranged in one circuit breaker pole 2 at the same time.
It is preferred to arrange one operating mechanism only in the same circuit breaker
pole.
[0032] The present application takes two circuit breaker poles 2 as an example. Only one
single-phase main line is arranged in each circuit breaker pole 2. That is, one of
the circuit breaker poles 2 is provided with an L-phase main line as the L pole, and
the other circuit breaker pole 2 is provided with an N-phase main line as the N pole.
The main loop of the circuit breaker is jointly formed by the L-phase main line and
the N-phase main line. The L pole and the N pole are jointly assembled in the same
mounting cavity. That is, the L pole and the N pole are jointly arranged in the same
first housing 11.
[0033] Each circuit breaker pole 2 includes a pair of wiring terminals connected to the
single-phase main line, and a handle mechanism 21, an operating mechanism 22 and a
contact mechanism that are sequentially connected in linkage. The pair of wiring terminals
includes an incoming terminal and an outgoing terminal. The contact mechanism is connected
between the pair of wiring terminals and used for controlling the single-phase main
line to be powered on and off. The contact mechanism includes a moving contact and
a static contact that cooperate with each other. The moving contact is connected in
linkage with the operating mechanism 22. The static contact is fixedly assembled on
one side opposite to the moving contact. The operating mechanism 22 is driven by manually
operating the handle mechanism 21, so that the moving contact is in contact with or
separated from the static contact, thereby realizing the on-off control of the main
line in the circuit breaker pole 2. In addition, each circuit breaker pole 2 may also
be provided with an arc-extinguishing system, and a short-circuit protection mechanism
and/or an overload protection mechanism 26 that cooperate with the operating mechanism
22. The arc-extinguishing system is cooperatively arranged on one side of the contact
mechanism to extinguish an arc generated by a moving contact and a static contact
in the opening and closing processes. The short-circuit protection mechanism or the
overload protection mechanism 26 triggers the operating mechanism 22 to trip when
the main loop has a short-circuit or an overload fault.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, a wiring terminal of the circuit breaker pole 2 is arranged
at least one end of the shell. Incoming terminals (outgoing terminals) of two adjacent
circuit breaker poles 2 are located at the same end of the shell. The handle mechanism
21 is rotatably assembled at the upper part of the shell (a first housing 11). The
operating mechanism 22 is arranged on one side of the handle mechanism 21. The handle
mechanism 21 is connected in linkage with the operating mechanism 22 through a link.
The moving contact is connected to the lower part of the operating mechanism 22. The
operating mechanisms 22 of the adjacent two circuit breaker poles 2 are connected
in linkage with the handle mechanism 21, respectively. An arc-extinguishing chamber
24 of the arc-extinguishing system and the static contact are fixed in the middle
of the shell (the first housing 11), wherein the static contact is disposed opposite
the moving contact.
[0035] The operating mechanism 22 of each circuit breaker pole 2 includes a lever that is
rotatably assembled in the shell. The lever may be rotatably connected to a side wall
on one side of the shell or the partition plate in the shell or a side wall of the
first housing 11. The lever is rotatably equipped with a jump catch and a lock catch.
The moving contact is rotatably mounted through a contact support and is in linkage
with the lever. The jump catch is in snap fit with one end of the lock catch, and
the other end of the jump catch is in linkage with a link. The lock catch is provided
with a linkage portion which is of a rod-shaped structure as a whole. A side wall
on one side of the shell corresponding to the linkage portion or the partition plate
in the shell or the side wall of the first housing 11 is provided with an avoidance
hole. One end of the linkage portion may pass through the avoidance hole. Of course,
other action mechanisms of the circuit breaker may also be connected in linkage with
the linkage portion through the avoidance hole. An energy storage spring is assembled
between the lever and the contact support. Two elastic arms of the energy storage
spring abut against the contact support and the lever, respectively. Preferably, the
energy storage spring is a torsion spring which is coaxially and rotatably assembled
in the contact support.
[0036] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a short-circuit protection mechanism and an overload protection
mechanism 26 are arranged in the L pole. The short-circuit protection mechanism is
arranged between the handle mechanism 21 and the arc-extinguishing chamber 24 of the
arc-extinguishing system. One end of the short-circuit protection mechanism is disposed
opposite the operating mechanism 22 of the L pole. The overload protection mechanism
26 and the short-circuit protection mechanism are respectively arranged on both sides
of the operating mechanism 22 of the L pole. One end of the overload protection mechanism
26 is matched with the operating mechanism 22. A short-circuit protection mechanism,
an arc-extinguishing system and an overload protection mechanism 26 may not be arranged
in the N pole. Of course, it is also possible to arrange a short-circuit protection
mechanism, an arc-extinguishing system and an overload protection mechanism 26 in
the N pole, that is, the structure similar to the L pole is adopted as the N pole.
In addition, the operating mechanisms 22 of the adjacent circuit breaker poles 2 may
share some parts, such as the lever, the contact support and the jump catch, and the
handle mechanism 21 is in linkage with the lock catch.
[0037] An accessory module is also arranged on one side of one of the circuit breaker poles
2, that is, an accessory module is arranged on one side of the first housing. The
accessory module in the present embodiment takes the leakage protection module 3 as
an example. As shown in FIGS. 7-13, the leakage protection module 3 preferably includes
a second housing 12. The second housing 12 is spliced with one of the first housings
11 to form a circuit breaker with a leakage protection function. The shell includes
a second housing 12 and at least one first housing 11 at this time. A leakage detection
circuit and a leakage tripping mechanism are assembled in the second housing 12, wherein
the leakage tripping mechanism includes a tripping unit 37 driven by a leakage detection
circuit. The leakage detection circuit includes a circuit board 35 and a zero-sequence
current transformer 34 connected to the circuit board 35. A controller for driving
the leakage tripping mechanism is arranged on the circuit board 35. The zero-sequence
current transformer 34 is connected with an L-phase main line and an N-phase main
line for detecting a leakage signal. When the leakage detection circuit detects a
leakage fault, an ejector rod of the tripping unit 37 may be driven to make an action.
After the ejector rod completes the action, a push plate 39 and an indicator 38 are
correspondingly arranged on one side of the ejector rod of the tripping unit 37. An
avoidance hole is formed in a side wall of the second housing 12 corresponding to
the push plate 39. The linkage portions of the adjacent circuit breaker poles 2 pass
through the avoidance hole and are matched with the push plate 39. In the case of
a leakage fault, the tripping unit 37 triggers the push plate 39 to rotate, such that
the linkage portion drives the lock catch to rotate and the operating mechanism trips,
and the indicator 38 acts to indicate leakage. The leakage tripping mechanism in the
present embodiment may adopt the prior art.
[0038] The leakage protection module 3 is also provided with a leakage test mechanism. The
leakage test mechanism includes a leakage test loop that draws electricity from the
main loop. The leakage test loop includes a test button 36, a first elastic member
31 and a second elastic member 32. The test button 36 is slidably assembled on the
second housing 12. The first elastic member 31 and the second elastic member 32 are
matched to form a breakpoint of the leakage test loop. The first elastic member 31
is elastically deformed by pressing the test button 36 to connect the breakpoint of
the leakage test loop. Preferably, the leakage test loop is also connected in series
with a leakage test loop winding of the zero-sequence current transformer 34, and
the leakage current detection winding of the zero-sequence current transformer 34
is connected to the circuit board 35.
[0039] An improvement point of the present application is as follows: the accessory module
and the circuit breaker pole 2 are of a modular structure, respectively; and the accessory
module and the circuit breaker pole 2 are also assembled together by splicing two
module structures. That is, the leakage protection module 3 in the present embodiment
adopts a modular structure. The second housing 12 of the leakage protection module
3 and the first housing 11 of the circuit breaker pole 2 are spliced. The shell of
the circuit breaker is spliced by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.
Meanwhile, the leakage protection module 3 is assembled on one side of the circuit
breaker pole 2 and can simultaneously draw electricity from the main loop connected
to the circuit breaker pole 2. Preferably, the leakage protection module 3 is preferably
connected to the main loop of the circuit breaker in a plugging and unplugging manner.
That is, the leakage protection module 3 is connected to the L-phase main line and
the N-phase main line of the circuit breaker pole 2 in a plugging and unplugging manner.
It should be noted that, as other embodiments, the electricity can be drawn in the
leakage protection module 3 as well as the L-phase main line and the N-phase main
line of the circuit breaker pole 2 in a contact electricity-drawing manner. However,
the contact electricity-drawing mode is not as stable as the plug-and-unplug connection.
[0040] Specifically, a wiring port is arranged on a side wall of the first housing adjacent
to the second housing 12. At least one outgoing conductive member 45 is connected
to the L-phase main line or the N-phase main line of the circuit breaker pole. A wiring
lug is connected to a wiring terminal of the leakage protection module 3. The outgoing
conductive member 45 and/or the wiring lug form a plug-and-unplug connection structure
through the wiring port, and the plug-and-unplug connection structure is connected
to the main loop. The outgoing conductive member 45 and/or the wiring lug of the plug-and-unplug
connection structure pass through the threading hole of the zero-sequence current
transformer 34. Preferably, at least one outgoing conductive member 45 is provided
with a plug-in portion 451. The plug-in portion 451 corresponds to a first wiring
port 111 on the side wall of the first housing 11. A plug-in lug 44 is formed at one
end of the wiring lug. The plug-in lug 44 may pass through the threading hole of the
zero-sequence current transformer 34. The plug-in lug 44 corresponds to a second wiring
port 121 on the side wall of the second housing 12. Preferably, the plug-in lug 44
is formed into a sheet-like structure. The plug-in portion 451 is a slot that extends
into the first wiring port 111. The plug-in lug 44 extends out of the second housing
12, is inserted into the plug-in portion 451, and is in plug-in fit with the plug-in
portion 451. Of course, as other embodiments, the plug-in portion 451 may also extend
out of the first housing 11 and extend into the second housing 12 for plug-in fit.
As other embodiments, the plug-in portion 451 may also be arranged on the wiring lug.
The plug-in lug 44 is formed at one end of the outgoing conductive member 45. The
plug-in lug 44 is in plug-in fit with the plug-in portion 451. The plug-and-unplug
connection structure formed cooperatively by the wiring lug and the outgoing conductive
member 45 allows the main loop to pass through the threading hole of the zero-sequence
current transformer 34 while realizing that the leakage protection module 3 and the
circuit breaker pole 2 are connected to draw electricity, so a wire is omitted, which
is conducive to reducing the volume of the circuit breaker. The leakage protection
module 3 and the circuit breaker pole 2 are two independent modules, so the modular
development of the circuit breaker is satisfied.
[0041] Preferably, the outgoing conductive member 45 is connected to the main loop of the
circuit breaker. That is, the outgoing conductive member 45 is connected to the N-phase
main line and one of the L-phase main lines of the circuit breaker pole 2, respectively.
The side walls on one sides of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, which
intermediately adjacent to each other, are respectively provided with a wiring port
corresponding to the outgoing conductive member 45. That is, the wiring port is formed
in a side wall of the shell of the circuit breaker pole 2 in a thickness direction.
This wiring port is disposed opposite the wiring port of the zero-sequence current
transformer 34. Specifically, the wiring port includes a first wiring port 111 arranged
in the middle of the side wall of the first housing 11 and a second wiring port 121
arranged in the middle of the side wall of the second housing 12. The number of the
first wiring ports 111 may correspond to the number of the outgoing conductive members
45. The number of the second wiring ports 121 is in one-to-one correspondence to the
number of the wiring lugs, or one first wiring port 111 and one second wiring port
121 may be arranged only on one side of the first housing 11 and one side of the second
housing 12, such that the two outgoing conductive members 45 correspond to the same
first wiring port 111. The two wiring lugs correspond to the same second wiring port
of the second housing 12. In addition, the two outgoing conductive members 45 may
extend into the second housing 12 and are plugged with the two wiring lugs, respectively.
Alternatively, the two wiring lugs may extend out of the second housing 12 and are
plugged with the two outgoing conductive members 45, respectively. Alternatively,
one outgoing conductive member 45 extends into the second housing 12 and is plugged
with one wiring lug, and the other wiring lug extends out of the second housing 12
and is plugged with the other outgoing conductive member 45. In this way, when the
leakage protection module 3 is plugged with the circuit breaker pole 2, the two wiring
lugs may be plugged with the L-phase main line and the N-phase main line respectively
to draw the electricity. Of course, other accessory modules of the circuit breaker
may also be connected to the main loop of the circuit breaker pole 2 in this wiring
way to draw the electricity.
[0042] Preferably, each circuit breaker pole 2 includes an incoming terminal and an outgoing
terminal which are respectively arranged at both ends of the first housing 11. A single-phase
main line is connected between the incoming terminal and the outgoing terminal. Two
wiring terminals of the leakage protection module 3 are an L-pole outgoing terminal
41-1b and an N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b, respectively. This structure can not
only affect the leakage protection module 3 to draw the electricity from the main
loop of the circuit breaker pole 2, and but also ensure that the normal wiring of
the circuit breaker pole 2 will not be affected when the leakage protection module
3 is not spliced. After the leakage protection module 3 is spliced, the outgoing terminal
of the circuit breaker pole 2 may not be used, and the outgoing terminal can be shielded
by a shield plate.
[0043] Of course, an incoming terminal or an outgoing terminal may also be arranged only
in the circuit breaker pole 2. In this embodiment, the incoming terminal is arranged
in the circuit breaker pole 2. The corresponding outgoing terminal is arranged in
the leakage protection module 3. That is, the L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a and the
N-pole incoming terminal 41-2a are arranged in parallel at one end of the first housing
11. The leakage protection module 3 includes two wiring terminals arranged at the
same end of the second housing 12. The two wiring terminals are an L-pole outgoing
terminal 41-1b and an N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b, respectively. The L-phase main
line of the L pole is connected between the L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a and the
L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b. The N-phase main line of the N pole is connected between
the N-pole incoming terminal 41-2a and the N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b. Therefore,
after the leakage protection module 3 and the circuit breaker pole 2 are spliced,
the circuit breaker can be wired normally. This structure can save the internal space
of the circuit breaker.
[0044] Further, the outgoing conductive member 45 is provided with an elastic plug-in portion
451. At least one end of the first housing 11 is provided with a wiring terminal.
Two first wiring ports 111 are formed in a side wall on one side of the first housing
11. Each plug-in portion 451 is provided with a slot. Each plug-in portion 451 corresponds
to one first wiring port 111. That is, each plug-in portion 451 is located in the
first housing 11 and is disposed opposite the first wiring port 111. Preferably, the
slot of each plug-in portion 451 correspondingly extends into one first wiring port
111. Two second wiring ports are formed in a side wall on one side of the second housing
12. The two wiring lugs correspondingly pass through the second wiring ports 121 respectively
to form a plug-in lug 44 and are correspondingly in plug-and-unplug connection with
the two plug-in portions 451. Preferably, the slot may sequentially pass through the
first wiring port 111 and the second wiring port 121 and is plugged with the plug-in
lug 44 of the wiring lug. Of course, the wiring lug may also sequentially pass through
the second wiring port 121 and the first wiring port 111 and is plugged with the slot.
[0045] Further, the wiring lug and/or the outgoing conductive member 45 correspondingly
pass through the threading hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34. Preferably,
the first wiring port 111 and the second wiring port 121 correspond to the threading
hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34. At this time, the first wiring port
111 and the second wiring port 121 are respectively located in the middle parts of
the side walls of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. In this way, the
lengths of the wiring lug and the outgoing conductive member 45 can be shortened and
the occupied space is reduced. In this way, the outgoing conductive member 45 is preferably
connected in the vicinity of the components in the middle of the L pole and the middle
of the N pole, such as a static contact of the contact mechanism and the short-circuit
protection mechanism. In the present embodiment, the short-circuit protection mechanism
is located in the middle of the first housing 11. The zero-sequence current transformer
34 is located in the middle of the second housing 12. The short-circuit protection
mechanism corresponds to the zero-sequence current transformer 34. Preferably, the
outgoing conductive member 45 of the L pole is connected to the short-circuit protection
mechanism, and the outgoing conductive member 45 of the N pole is connected to the
contact mechanism of the N pole. That is, the first wiring port 111 is located at
a position on the side wall of the shell corresponding to the short-circuit protection
mechanism, or a position corresponding to the static contact. The second wiring port
121 is located at a position on the side wall of the second housing 12 opposite to
the threading hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34. Meanwhile, the first
wiring port 111 corresponds to the second wiring port 121, and the first wiring port
111 also corresponds to the zero-sequence current transformer 34. In this way, the
lengths of the outgoing conductive member 45 and the wiring lug can be shortened,
which is conducive to plug-in fit.
[0046] Correspondingly, the leakage test loop of the leakage protection module 3 draws electricity
from the main loop. Preferably, the second elastic member 32 as an electricity-drawing
end of the leakage test loop is electrically connected with the L-pole outgoing terminal
41-lb, so that the leakage test loop can draw the electricity from the L-phase main
line. The other electricity-drawing end of the leakage test loop is electrically connected
with the N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b directly and indirectly for drawing the electricity.
A first end of the first elastic member 31 is connected with the zero-sequence current
transformer 34, and a second end of the first elastic member 31 and a second end of
the second elastic member 32 are matched to form a breakpoint. In this way, the second
elastic member 32 may form the breakpoint of the leakage test loop, or may also be
used for drawing the electricity for the leakage test loop, which is conducive to
reducing the number of wires used. In addition, the circuit board 35 in the leakage
current detection circuit also draws the electricity through the second elastic member
32. A third elastic member 33 is also connected to the circuit board 35, wherein a
second end of the third elastic member 33 as an electricity-drawing end of the circuit
board 35 is connected with the second wiring lug 43. In this way, the circuit board
35 can also reduce the number of electricity-drawing wires while drawing the electricity
from the main loop, thereby increasing a space utilization rate, and being conducive
to reducing the volume.
[0047] Further, a plug pin is adopted at the wiring terminal of the zero-sequence current
transformer 34 in the leakage protection module 3. In this way, the wiring of the
zero-sequence current transformer 34 can be realized by means of plug-and-unplug connection,
and compared with the existing mode of drawing the electricity with a wire, has the
advantages of convenient wiring and a small number of wires.
[0048] A first embodiment is provided in conjunction with FIGS. 1-10. In the present embodiment,
the circuit breaker pole 2 is in plug-in fit with the leakage protection module 3.
The two wiring lugs are located in the second housing 12. As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and
4, in the L pole, an L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a is arranged at one end of the
L pole. That is, an L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a is arranged at one end of the first
housing 11. The contact mechanism of the L pole includes an L-pole moving contact
and an L-pole static contact 231. The L-pole moving contact is electrically connected
with the L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a. The L-pole static contact 231 is fixed on
one side of the arc-extinguishing chamber 24. The short-circuit protection mechanism
is arranged between the arc-extinguishing chamber 24 and the handle mechanism 21.
The short-circuit protection mechanism includes a coil assembly. The coil assembly
includes a coil skeleton and a coil 25 wound on the outer side of the coil skeleton.
A second wiring terminal of the coil 25 is connected with the L-pole static contact
231, and a first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 is connected with a connecting
plate. The outgoing conductive member 45 as the L pole extends outward from the connecting
plate along a direction perpendicular to a plane where the arc-extinguishing chamber
24 is located, that is, extends outward along a thickness direction of the circuit
breaker pole 2. In the drawings, the connecting plate is arranged along a gap between
the short-circuit protection mechanism and the arc-extinguishing chamber 24, and a
plug-in portion 451 is arranged at one end of the connecting plate away from the first
wiring terminal 251, that is, the plug-in portion 451 is arranged at one end of the
first wiring terminal 251 close to the L-pole static contact 231.
[0049] The N pole and the L pole are arranged in parallel in the same first housing 11,
and an N-pole incoming terminal 41-2a is arranged at one end of the N pole. That is,
the L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a and the N-pole incoming terminal 41-2a are arranged
in parallel at one end of the first housing 11. The contact mechanism of the N pole
includes an N-pole moving contact and an N-pole static contact 232, wherein the N-pole
static contact 232 and the L-pole static contact 231 are arranged in parallel. A conductive
plate of the N-pole static contact 232 is arranged along a horizontal direction in
FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. In the drawings, the conductive plate of the N-pole static contact
232 corresponds to a gap between the coil assembly of the L pole and the arc-extinguishing
chamber 24. The conductive member 45 is formed by extending outward from the middle
side of the conductive plate of the N-pole static contact 232. The outgoing conductive
members 45 of the N pole and the L pole extend side by side to one side of the first
housing 11. That is, the outgoing conductive member 45 of the N pole extends to one
side close to the second housing 12 perpendicular to a plane where the arc extinguishing
chamber 24 is located, that is, extends to one side of the second housing 12 along
the thickness direction of the circuit breaker pole 2. Each outgoing conductive member
45 correspondingly extends into one of the first wiring ports 111, respectively. The
plug-in portion 451 is provided with a slot that extends out of the first wiring port
111. Of course, the slot may be located in the first housing 11 or may also be located
in the first wiring port 111. Preferably, a side wall of the shell provided with the
first wiring port 111, that is, a side wall on one side of the first housing 11 includes
a first cover 13 and a second cover 14 that are spliced with each other. One of the
first wiring ports 111 is located at the splicing place of the first cover 13 and
the second cover 14. This splicing structure is conducive to ensuring the electrical
clearance and insulation between the two first wiring ports 111. Further, the lower
edge of each first wiring port 111 is protrudingly provided with an insulating portion
112. The insulating portion 112 plays an insulating role, prevents the adjacent outgoing
conductive members 45 from being short-circuited, and may also cooperate with the
second wiring port 121 to play the role of plug-in guidance. The insulating portion
112 is arranged corresponding to the first wiring port 111 and protrudes from the
side wall of the shell. The insulating portion 112 may only be arranged on the lower
edge of the first wiring port 111, or may be arranged around the first wiring port
111.
[0050] In the present embodiment, the plug-in portion 451 is shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6,
and includes a first contact plate and a second contact plate. One end of the second
contact plate is bent and connected with the first contact plate, and the other end
of the second contact plate is spaced from the first contact plate, so that a gap
between the first contact plate and the second contact plate forms a slot. In the
drawings, the first contact plate is of a straight plate-shaped structure. The first
contact plate in FIG. 6 is formed by a conductive plate of the N-pole static contact
232. In addition, the first contact plate may also be a connecting plate connected
to the first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25. In this way, the space occupied by
the slot can be saved, and the cost is reduced. The middle part of the second contact
plate is bent and is close to the first contact plate, such that a plug-in gap in
the slot is the narrowest in the middle. The plug-in portion 451 is similar to a hairpin
shape as a whole, which facilitates elastic plug-in fit between the first wiring lug
42 and the second wiring plate 43, and is conducive to keeping the wiring stable.
[0051] In the leakage protection module 3, a button groove is formed at the upper part of
the second housing 12. Two wiring terminals are arranged in parallel at one end of
the second housing 12. A wiring lug is connected to each wiring terminal, wherein
one of the wiring terminals is used as an L-pole outgoing terminal 41-lb, and the
wiring lug connected to the L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b is used as a first wiring
lug 42; and the other wiring terminal is used as an N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b,
and the wiring lug connected to the N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b is used as a second
wiring lug 43. The first wiring lug 42 is connected with the outgoing conductive member
45 of the L pole, and the second wiring lug 43 is connected with the outgoing conductive
member 45 of the N pole. At this time, an L-pole incoming terminal 41-1a and an N-pole
incoming terminal 41-2a are arranged at one end of the shell of the whole circuit
breaker, and an L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b and an N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b
are arranged at the other end of the shell.
[0052] A side wall on one side of the second housing 12 facing the first housing 11 is provided
with two second wiring ports 121. A zero-sequence current transformer 34 is assembled
at a position corresponding to the second wiring port 121. A circuit board 35 is arranged
on one side of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 away from the wiring terminal.
Preferably, an edge on one side of the circuit board 35 is provided with an arc-shaped
recess. The zero-sequence current transformer 34 is correspondingly assembled in this
arc-shaped recess. A portion of the circuit board 35 adjacent to the arc-shaped recess
is provided with a jack. The test button 36 is slidably assembled in a button groove.
The first elastic member 31 is located between the test button 36 and the zero-sequence
current transformer 34. The second elastic member 32 is cooperatively arranged on
one side of the first elastic member 31 and located above the zero-sequence current
transformer 34. A second end of the first elastic member 31 is oppositely spaced from
a second end of the second elastic member 32 to form a breakpoint. The test button
36 abuts against the middle part of the first elastic member 31. A first end of the
second elastic member 32 is plugged with the circuit board 35. In FIG. 9, a second
end of the second elastic member 32 is connected with the first wiring lug 42 for
drawing the electricity. The middle part of the second elastic member 32 is oppositely
spaced from a second end of the first elastic member 31 to form a breakpoint. A first
end of the first elastic member 31 is connected with the zero-sequence current transformer
34. Specifically, the first end of the first elastic member 31 is connected with a
fourth pin of the zero-sequence current transformer 34. Preferably, a position of
the fourth pin is close to the first elastic member 31. A third elastic member 33
is connected to the circuit board 35. The third elastic member 33 is used for electrically
connecting the circuit board 35 with the N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b.
[0053] The zero-sequence current transformer 34 includes an iron core, and a leakage test
loop winding and a leakage current detection winding wound on the outer side of the
iron core. A threading hole is formed in the middle of the iron core. An electrical
isolation plate 345 is arranged in the threading hole. The electrical isolation plate
345 separates the threading hole into a first threading hole and a second threading
hole which are parallel to each other. Preferably, the first threading hole and the
second threading hole are in one-to-one correspondence with two second wiring ports
121, respectively. The first wiring lug 42 and the second wiring lug 43 correspondingly
pass through the two second wiring ports 121 to form two plug-in lugs 44 which are
arranged side by side. The two plug-in lugs 44 are plugged with the plug-in portions
451 of the two outgoing conductive members 45. The electrical isolation between the
first wiring lug 42 and the second wiring lug 43 is realized by the electrical isolation
plate 345.
[0054] The leakage test loop winding includes a third pin and a fourth pin. The fourth pin
abuts against the first elastic member 31. The third pin is plugged with the circuit
board 35. The leakage current detection winding includes a first pin and a second
pin. The first pin and the second pin are connected with the circuit board 35, respectively.
The first pin, the second pin and the third pin are located on the same side of the
iron core. The fourth pin is located on the other side of the iron core. That is,
the first pin, the second pin and the third pin all extend side by side along a radial
direction of the iron core. The fourth pin extends outward along a tangential direction
of the iron core, so that the fourth pin is located on one side close to the first
elastic member 31. An edge of the arc-shaped recess of the circuit board 35 is provided
with jacks (i.e., a first jack, a second jack and a third jack) for the first pin,
the second pin and the third pin to be plugged. The first pin, the second pin and
the third pin of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 may be connected with the
circuit board 35 by means of tin soldering.
[0055] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the first wiring lug 42 includes a first conductive plate,
an extension plate and a second conductive plate which are integrally formed. One
end of the first conductive plate as a first end of the first wiring lug 42 is connected
with one N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b or the L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b. In
the drawings, a first end of the first wiring lug 42 is connected with the L-pole
outgoing terminal 41-1b, and the other end of the first conductive plate is bent to
one side away from the L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b, so that the first conductive
plate is L-shaped as a whole. One end of the extension plate is connected with an
edge of the other end of the first conductive plate, and the other end of the extension
plate is bent in a direction away from the first conductive plate. In the drawings,
the other end of the extension plate is bent upwards, such that the extension plate
is of an L-shaped plate-like structure as a whole. A plate surface of the expansion
plate is perpendicular to a plate surface of the first conductive plate. A first abutting
groove 421 is formed in a side of the extension plate. A first end of the second elastic
member 32 elastically abuts against the first abutting groove 421, and the second
elastic member 32 elastically abuts against the first abutting groove 421, thereby
achieving the advantages of convenient wiring, wire omitting and small occupied space.
The second conductive plate is used as the second end of the first wiring lug 42,
one end of the second conductive plate is connected with the middle side of the extension
plate, and the other end of the second conductive plate passes through the threading
hole of the transformer 34. A plate surface at one end of the extension plate and
a plate surface at one end of the second conductive plate are close to one side of
the zero-sequence current transformer 34 away from the second wiring port 121. At
this time, the first wiring lug 42 and the second wiring lug 43 pass through the threading
hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 side by side, which facilitates the
stable plugging with the outgoing conductive member 45.
[0056] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the second wiring lug 43 is of an L-shaped plate-like
structure as a whole. The second wiring lug 43 is arranged between the wiring terminal
and the circuit board 35 along a vertical direction in the drawings, and is arranged
close to one side of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 away from the second
wiring port 121. A second abutting groove 431 is formed in a side at the first end
of the second wiring lug 43. The second end of the third elastic member 33 abuts against
the second abutting groove 431. In the drawings, the third elastic member 33 is preferably
a torsion spring. In addition, the first end of the second wiring lug 43 is connected

is also connected between the wire and the N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b, and the
second end of the second wiring lug 43 sequentially passes through the second threading
hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 and one second wiring port 121 of
the second housing 12 to form the plug-in lug 44.
[0057] A second embodiment is provided in conjunction with FIGS. 11-13. In the present embodiment,
one wiring lug extends out of the second housing 12 and is plugged with one outgoing
conductive member 45, and the other outgoing conductive member 45 extends to the second
housing 12 and is plugged with the other wiring lug. That is, the plug-in portion
451 of one outgoing conductive member 45 extends out of the first housing 11 through
the first wiring port 111 and is plugged into the other wiring lug in the second housing
12.
[0058] The L pole and the N pole are jointly assembled in the first housing 11 identical
with the first embodiment, wherein the L pole and the N pole are arranged in parallel.
The N pole includes an N-pole incoming terminal 41-2a identical with the above-mentioned
N pole, an N-pole contact mechanism and an outgoing conductive member 45 connected
to the N-pole static contact 232. The L pole includes an L-pole incoming terminal
41-1a identical with the above-mentioned L-pole, an arc-extinguishing chamber 24,
an L-pole contact mechanism, a short-circuit protection mechanism and an overload
protection mechanism 26, but is different from the above-mentioned L pole in that
a first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 is used as an outgoing conductive member
45 of the L pole. Preferably, the first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 also extends
outward along a direction perpendicular to a plane where the arc-extinguishing chamber
24 is located, that is, extends outward along a thickness direction of the circuit
breaker pole 2. The first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 extends out of one first
wiring port 111 of the first housing 11 correspondingly extends into the second housing
12, and forms a conductive zone at the end of the first wiring terminal 251 of the
coil 25. The conductive zone may be in plug-in fit with the first wiring terminal
42 of the leakage protection module 3 as the plug-in portion 451. Preferably, a conductive
zone is formed by stripping off an insulating layer of an enameled wire. At this time,
the first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 passes through the first wiring port
111. The conductive zone may be used as the plug-in portion 451 after extending out
of the shell through the first wiring port 111.
[0059] The leakage protection module 3 is assembled in the second housing 12 with the same
structure as the first embodiment. The leakage protection module 3 includes an L-pole
outgoing terminal 41-1b, an N-pole outgoing terminal 41-2b, a zero-sequence current
transformer 34 and a circuit board 35 which are identical with those of the above-mentioned
leakage protection module 3. The second wiring lug 43 connected to the N-pole outgoing
terminal 41-2b has the same structure as the second wiring lug 43 of the first embodiment.
A third elastic member 33 is connected between the circuit board 35 and the second
wiring lug 43, The second end of the third elastic member 33 abuts against the second
abutting groove 431 of the second wiring lug 43. This leakage protection module 3
is different from the above-mentioned leakage protection module 3 in that the first
wiring lug 42 connected to the L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b no longer passes through
the threading hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34, the first wiring terminal
251 of the coil 25 passes through the first threading hole of the zero-sequence current
transformer 34, and the first wiring lug 42 is plugged with the conductive zone of
the first wiring terminal 251. In addition, a test button 36, a first elastic member
31 and a second elastic member 32 are also arranged above the zero-sequence current
transformer 34, wherein the first elastic member 31 is connected to the zero-sequence
current transformer 34, one end of the second elastic member 32 is connected to the
circuit board 35, and the second elastic member 32 is connected to the conductive
zone of the first wiring terminal 251 for drawing the electricity.
[0060] As shown in FIG. 12, the first wiring lug 42 includes an L-shaped conductive plate.
One end of the L-shaped conductive plate as the first end of the first wiring lug
42 is connected with one wiring terminal (L-pole outgoing terminal 41-1b). A side
of the other end of the L-shaped conductive plate extends outward along a direction
away from the L-shaped conductive plate to form the extension plate. In FIG. 12, a
plate surface of the extension plate is arranged along one side of the zero-sequence
current transformer 34 away from the second wiring port 121 and is close to the zero-sequence
current transformer 34. The extension plate is used as the second end of the first
wiring lug 42. A certain included angle is formed between the plate surface of the
extension plate and the plate surface of the conductive plate. Preferably, the plate
surface of the extension plate is perpendicular to the plate surface of the conductive
plate. The first abutting groove 421 is formed in a side of the extension plate. Preferably,
the first abutting groove 421 is located at the lower edge of the extension plate.
The first wiring terminal 251 of the coil 25 may be correspondingly plugged in the
first abutting groove 421. The conductive zone of the first wiring terminal 251 is
in abutting fit with the first abutting groove 421, so that the L-phase main line
between the leakage protection module 3 and the L pole is powered on. The first wiring
terminal 251 may be regarded as the plug-in portion 451 extending into the second
housing 12. The second end of the second elastic member 32 abuts against the first
abutting groove 421, and the conductive zone elastically abuts against the first abutting
groove 421, thereby achieving the advantages of convenient wiring, wire omitting and
small occupied space.
[0061] As a third embodiment, when the two wiring lugs both extend out of the second housing
12, the two wiring lugs sequentially pass through the second wiring port 121 and the
first wiring port 111 and extend into the first housing 11. That is, the two wiring
lugs correspondingly pass through the first threading hole and the second threading
hole of the zero-sequence current transformer 34 respectively and are then in plug-in
fit with the two outgoing conductive members 45. Preferably, in the present embodiment,
the plug-in portions 451 are arranged at two wiring lugs. The plug-in lug 44 is arranged
at one end of the outgoing conductive member 45. A slot identical with that of the
above embodiment may be selected as the plug-in portion 451. The plug-in portion 451
includes a first contact plate and a second contact plate which are spaced from each
other. Of course, the plug-in portion 451 and the plug-in plug 44 have concave-convex
structures that match each other, and their specific structures are not limited to
the above described structure.
[0062] In addition, when the circuit breaker has three L poles, one N pole and a leakage
protection module 3, wherein one of the L pole and the N pole may be jointly assembled
in one first housing 11 immediately adjacent to the leakage protection module 3. At
this time, the leakage protection module 3 and the L pole as well as the N pole are
connected in a mode identical with the above three embodiments. Alternatively, the
three L poles and the N pole are respectively assembled in the four first housings
11, wherein one of the outgoing conductive members 45 may pass through the adjacent
first housing 11, so that the two outgoing conductive members 45 finally extend side
by side to the middle part of the same side wall of the same first housing 11. The
leakage protection module 3 may adopt the structure of the above three embodiments.
