Specifically, even rules and regulations require when the handle that is used to activate relative breaker is blocked tripgear also can work (" auto-cutout mechanism ").In addition, when after open because of residual current the contact, recovering electric continuity in the circuit, tripgear must be reset (resetting) and prepare and be intervened once more before breaker points close: in this way, if dangerous situation exists, then tripgear prevents that condition of work from reappearing.
In the prior art, in order to satisfy this condition, use the tripgear of existing type not to be entirely satisfactory, because the circuit breaker dynamical system that device is joined must be carried out tangible structural modification.From application point of view, tripgear is installed usually like this, makes it be connected on the magnetic thermal circuit beraker, thereby has made up the function that prevents short circuit, thermal overload and residual current in a simple device.Then, the magnetic thermal circuit beraker is linked on the suitable servicing unit, and this servicing unit has two types usually, according to its act on circuit breaker produce its action or according to the order execution from described circuit breaker be called initiatively with passive.For example, initiatively servicing unit can be configured to a shunting tripping relay or a under-voltage replay, and it senses the main supply voltage that is lower than a limiting threshold value and causes that circuit breaker disconnects.
The a solution that connects circuit breaker and servicing unit is: the both sides that servicing unit are distributed in circuit breaker; Specifically, the relative front view of circuit breaker, initiatively servicing unit always is contained in the same side of circuit breaker, left side for example, and passive servicing unit is contained in opposite side, i.e. right side.This solution advantageous particularly because be easy in practice install, and allows to use the servicing unit-circuit breaker power transmission shaft of machine-building simple cheap; Otherwise structure can be quite complicated, and the assembling difficulty also can increase greatly.
Also comprise installation one pure residual current circuit breaker if produce circuit, when residual current occurred, tripgear was opened magnetic thermal circuit beraker and residual current circuit breaker.But, if open because of other any reasons magnetic thermal circuit beraker contact, for example the intervention that causes because of the active servicing unit activates or because of short circuit or other reasons, then tripgear must be as the battery supply bridge between servicing unit and the magnetic thermal circuit beraker, the pure residual current circuit breaker of bypass in practice, and the magnetic thermal circuit beraker is opened.
In the prior art, known tripgear all can not satisfy this requirement; Magnetic thermal circuit beraker that provides a kind of servicing unit to be positioned at the residual current side has been provided in practice for this, thereby it is one-sided to cause that servicing unit is stacked in, and causes technological deficiency subsequently.
Another disadvantage of existing tripgear is such fact: they do not have the modular structure; In fact, they directly are contained in the shell of the circuit breaker that connects with it.In this way, assembling process complexity, and any modification that tripgear dynamical system element is carried out or replace and also can influence described device component external.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of tripgear, it is used for detecting residual current above behind the predetermined limit value at checkout gear, open the contact of the circuit breaker that links with this tripgear, the servicing unit that this tripgear allows to be used for circuit breaker is positioned at both sides, even under the situation that residual current circuit breaker exists, if contact unlatching specifically is not because detect described residual current, allow the dynamical system bypass of servicing unit.

Another task of the present invention provides a kind of tripgear, and it is used for after checkout gear detects residual current and surpasses a predetermined limit value, and the contact of opening the circuit breaker that links with this tripgear is wherein assembled simplyr than existing apparatus, and realizes automatically substantially.
Another task of the present invention provides a kind of tripgear, it is used to open the contact of the circuit breaker that links with it, this device can be after opening the contact because of the residual current situation, intervene before the breaker closing, avoid when residual current still continues to be higher than predetermined limit value, recovering electric continuity.
Another task of the present invention provides a kind of tripgear, it is used for detecting residual current above behind the predetermined limit value at checkout gear, open the contact of the circuit breaker that links with this tripgear, even this tripgear endure when the actuation handle of relative breaker is blocked.
Another task of the present invention provides a kind of tripgear, and it is used for detecting residual current above behind the predetermined limit value at checkout gear, opens the contact of the circuit breaker that links with this tripgear, and this tripgear is very reliable, easy to manufacture and cost economy.
Below with more and more clearly this purpose, these and other task all realize by a kind of tripgear, this tripgear is used for detecting residual current above behind the predetermined limit value at checkout gear, open the contact of the circuit breaker that links with this tripgear, it is characterized in that this device comprises a shell that is used to hold and support actuating unit, this actuating unit comprises:
--an actuator lever and a trip(ping) bar, it connects and all pivots on first pivot of shell for how much mutually, and described actuator lever is operably connected on the actuator, and this actuator is activated by described checkout gear;

Shown in Fig. 1 was detailed, this device comprised actuator lever 3, the cylindrical bearing 38 that this actuator lever has first pivot 18 on pedestal 1 to pivot; Stretch out three arms 3 ', 3 from bearing 38 by angle intervals ", 3 .Actuator lever 3 is operably connected on the current sensor of any residual current that is higher than predetermined limit value of sensing, and correspondingly activates an actuator, and this actuator for example is made of the moving polarized relay of magnetic.Next, for example shown in Fig. 2 to 6, by release pin 17 (see figure 2)s that impact actuator lever 3 the first arms 3 ', actuator is chatted mode later on and is activated actuating unit 100.Second arm 3 of actuator lever 3 " a shaping end 60 arranged, it can interact with first end 2 ' of actuation spring 2, is used for below the function that describes in detail is also had an abutment walls 51, and this abutment walls 51 is suitable for geometry and is connected to and is formed at trip(ping) bar 4 lip-deep teeth 50.
Also the described trip(ping) bar 4 that pivots around first pivot 18 has a single armed 4 ', first end of this single armed 4 ' is shaped and makes to have a cylindrical bearing 43, second end becomes shadow to make to have a nose shape prominence 26, this nose shape prominence 26 to be suitable for engaging for how much with the lip-deep corresponding hamulus of engaging lever 8 27; Arm 4 ' also has a wall of raising 47 in basic centre position, and effect has first end 40 ' of first retainer spring 40 it on, at the opposition side of described relatively nose shape prominence 26 part of raising 20 is arranged, and acts on first end 5 ' that second spring 5 is arranged on it.First retainer spring 40 is around described bearing 43 location, makes second end 40 " push against the 3rd arm 3 of actuator lever 3.In this way, first retainer spring 40 at one end promotes actuator lever 3 and is rotated counterclockwise, promote trip(ping) bar 4 at the other end it is turned clockwise, two bars 3 and 4 are relatively moved, thereby between tooth 50 and abutment walls 51, keep supporting to connect (bearing coupling).
Then, second retainer spring 5 is provided with around the 3rd pivot 19 that is fixed on the pedestal 1, makes second end 5 " push against on the retainer 48 on the pedestal 1.Thus, second retainer spring 5 promotes trip(ping) bar 4 turns clockwise it, is easier to keep being bonded with each other of engaging lever 8 and trip(ping) bar 4.
Another advantage according to device of the present invention is such fact: retainer spring 40 is designed to the vibration that energy while absorption plant is subjected to.In addition, along with the change in size of the actuator that device is activated, the power respective change of the described actuator that trips and reset; In device according to the present invention, change in order to eliminate these, enough with a retainer spring 5 with different-stiffness, can not affact on other elements of dynamical system.Clearly, this makes and have very high flexibility in application.
Actuation spring 2 is provided with around second pivot 21 that is fixed on the package header 1, and the end 2 ' of winning is inserted in the indicating arm 6 lip-deep grooves 52; Second end 2 of spring 2 " insert in the bearing 22 on the frame piece 1.
Indicating arm 6 also pivots around second pivot 21, except groove 52, also has the hollow bearing 75 of a substantially cylindrical to be used for pivoting on node 21; Two arms 6 ' and 6 by angular separation " stretch out from described bearing 75.Specifically, the first arm 6 ' of indicating arm 6 has an end 23 that is shaped, when the rotation that this end is suitable for awarding at actuation spring 2 finishes with the opening part of self poisoning in shell, visually indicate the contact because of residual current is higher than pre-some limiting value open; In addition, a hole 110 is arranged on the first arm 6 ', be used to be connected to the pivot 111 that belongs to contact bar 115.Then, second arm 6 " pivot 31 is arranged, be used for engaging lever 8 on corresponding bearing 30 connect for how much.In addition, on indicating arm 6, the outer surface of bearing 75 has two projection pieces: first 45 (shown in Figure 4), be used for retainer 55 on the package header 1, with the rotation that stops described indicating arm 6 and second 53, be used for being connected on the respective teeth 54 on the drive link 7; Specifically, the connection between second 53 and the tooth 54 can limit the folk prescription of 7 of indicating arm 6 and drive links to constraint, chats after its effect.
Drive link 7 has the hollow circuit cylinder bearing 46 and a pivot 90 that is used to connect the circuit breaker dynamical system relevant with tripgear that are used for around second pivot, 21 pivots.
According to certain applications, as when tripgear with differential (differential block) when using, at bearing 46 outer surfaces the 3rd retainer spring 9 (only shown in Figure 1) can be set, make its first end 9 ' act on the pivot 25 that forms on the described drive link 7 second end 9 " act on the shaping wall 28 of engaging lever 8; Also have a hollow cylindrical wall 30 on the surface of engaging lever 8, the pivot of itself and indicating arm 6 31 is complementary for how much, also has a bearing 32 to be used to insert an end of U-shaped element 12.U-shaped element 12 can have crooked contour shape, as shown in Figure 1, also can have the outline of straight line shape, shown in Fig. 2 to 6.In these cases, advantageously, although second retainer spring 5 and the 3rd retainer spring 9 are finished having nothing in common with each other of task, structure can be identical, thereby favourable batch process economy can be provided, and further simplified the structure of device.
Also comprise first handle 10 according to tripgear of the present invention, a hollow cylindrical pivot 63 and a pin 34 around the 4th fixed pivot axi 33 pivots of pedestal 1 are wherein arranged respectively on first handle 10 surfaces, sell 34 rigid attachment in the one handle that is used to activate the circuit breaker relevant with described device.Second handle 11 is connected on the hollow pivot 63 of handle 10 by cylindrical bearing 35 geometry; Around bearing 35 position spring once, insert in the cavitys 36 that form in the described handle 11 the one end.
Described in addition second handle 11 has a hole 37 that is used to be connected to U-shaped element 12 second ends and energy and the interactional projection piece 62 of first handle 10 lip-deep corresponding abutment walls, so that device is in the replacement of intervening after opening the relative breaker contact.When the replacement EO, piece 62 is resisted against on the retainer 63 on the package header 1.
With reference to Fig. 2-6, the device operation when residual current surpasses predetermined limit value is described below.
From mode of operation shown in Figure 2, promptly tripgear is prepared to intervene, and when residual current surpassed predetermined value, pin 17 activated, and impacts the arm 3 ' of actuator rod 3, forces it to rotate along direction shown in the arrow 101 around pivot 18.
As shown in Figure 3, by the geometric match of 50 in abutment walls 51 and tooth, actuator lever 3 pulls to self with trip(ping) bar 4 simultaneously, and it is rotated along same direction, from the engaging of engaging lever 8 throw off; In this way, the remainder of mechanism 100 can move freely.Specifically, indicating arm 6 rotates along direction shown in the arrow 102 under the trying hard to recommend of actuation spring 2, by being pushed against the piece 53 on the tooth 54, is connected on the drive link 7, and it is moved along the part of rotation at least.In addition, in described rotary course, indicating arm 6 promotes contact lever 115, and by finishing a translational motion, contact lever acts on a spring, and this spring belongs to the unshowned test circuit of tripgear outside.The correct translational motion of contact lever is assisted by two guiders on the pedestal 1 116.
Then, bar 7 is passed to the dynamical system of relative breaker with motion, and its contact is opened.As shown in Figure 4, when piece 45 was resisted against on the retainer 55, the rotation of bar 6 finished.In this position, shaping end 23 is arranged at the opening part of shell, from exterior visual point out that circuit breaker intervenes because of residual current.
Advantageously, the end 2 ' of actuation spring 2 impacts shaping end 60 in its motion process, and mobile actuator lever 3 pushes against on the pin 17, as shown in Figure 4 arm 3 '.Bar 3 remains on this position, resets up to device, thereby as the reset apparatus of actuation element; In addition, if described actuation element is a polarized relay, just can avoid any dirt.In addition, by trying hard to recommend of retainer spring, trying hard to recommend of spring 40 especially, tooth 50 is resisted against on the abutment walls 51, and bar 3 and 4 returns to directly and is in contact with one another.
In these steps,, also be blocked by pivot 28 rigid attachment handle 10 thereon if the actuation handle of relative breaker is blocked; Correspondingly, actuating unit 100 remains on position shown in Figure 4, does not move and do not have further.If opposite, this situation does not occur in the aforesaid operations step, and along with the motion of relative breaker, certain delay just begins handle 10 because of its inertia has, and rotates along arrow 103 indicated directions, moves to position shown in Figure 5.Because return spring 13, handle 11 rotates along arrow 103 indicated directions, by U-shaped element 12, promotes engaging lever 8; In this way, hamulus 27 moves past projection 26, arrives position shown in Figure 5.In this position, device is prepared to reset.
In this rotary course, bar 6 is motionless substantially owing to the rigidity of relative actuation spring 2.
Provide replacement by directly acting on the actuation handle that the circuit breaker of handle 10 is passed in motion; As shown in Figure 6, handle 10 rotates along direction shown in the arrow 104, makes abutment walls 61 push against on the projection piece 62 of handle 11.In this way, handle 11 also rotates along direction shown in the arrow 104 by U-shaped element 12, and rotational engagement bar 8 abuts on the projection 26 up to hamulus 27.Along with the motion of the dynamical system of relative breaker, drive link 7 rotates along the direction of arrow 105, and the interaction by 53 of tooth 54 and pieces makes indicating arm 6 motions, makes it turn back to original position.Then, bar 6 moves contact lever 115, and loading spring 2 makes them get back to its initial position.When rotation finished, projection piece 62 was resisted against on the retainer 73, schematically illustrates as Fig. 2.
Advantageously, device is designed to reset before the relative breaker closing of contact, prepares new once intervention.In this way, can guarantee that residual current continued to surpass a predetermined safety margins value when electric current in the ifs circuit recovered, and then opened the contact immediately again.
Advantageously, if the intervention of circuit breaker is not because the existence of residual current but because of other operating conditions, for example order of sending because of a servicing unit, drive link 7 indicating arm 6 relatively rotates freely.In this case, bar 7 receives motion from servicing unit by an attachment pegs, and this attachment pegs is passed a groove 91 on the pedestal 1, and insertion rod 7 is from one's body a groove 24.In this situation, drive link 7 moves along direction shown in the arrow among Fig. 2 106, and relative breaker is passed in motion, and the remainder of actuating unit can not be subjected to the influence that this moves.In this way, residual current circuit breaker if any, is designed to the servicing unit of a reality, and its dynamical system is fully by bypass.
Tripgear according to the present invention also has another advantage, and promptly it can be connected to multipole magnetic thermal circuit beraker, and irrelevant with the layout of each utmost point, is positioned at right side or left side as neutral pole.Under this situation, be enough in fact, needn't carry out structural modification each element by what dynamical system was rotated 180 ° of assemblings.
In the practice, have found that, realized the purpose and the task that are intended to reach fully, even because it provides servicing unit when having pure residual current circuit breaker also can be positioned at the circuit breaker relevant with tripgear of both sides according to tripgear of the present invention.This device also has a kind of self-supporting modular construction, and it can be used as an autonomous block and is linked on the circuit breaker, and the simple and basic automation of its assembling.
Advantageously, She Ji tripgear except being particularly suitable for directly being linked on the magnetic thermal circuit beraker, also can be used to residual current stopper (residual currentblocks) and the pure residual current circuit breaker used always effectively like this.All the novel functions and the creationary aspect that it shall yet further be noted that this device all can obtain by using commercial available cost extremely low element and material.
She Ji tripgear is convenient to make various modifications and variations like this, in all scopes that all drops on notion of the present invention; The all available other technologies equivalent of all in addition parts is replaced.
In practice, can be as requested and prior art materials used and size thereof.
