The utility model provides a manual operation mechanism for manually controlling opening or closing of a circuit breaker, which does not need to additionally arrange an intermediate transmission mechanism between the manual operation mechanism and a half shaft in the circuit breaker, but directly transmits the motion of a manual operation end to the half shaft and converts the motion of the manual operation end into the motion of the half shaft, so that the opening or closing of the circuit breaker is realized.
Fig. 1 to 3 show a manual operating mechanism according to the utility model and its use in a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker may be, for example, a transverse circuit breaker, including a main body frame 5 and respective functional units mounted on the frame 5, including a conductive circuit, an operating mechanism, an arc extinguishing mechanism, and the like. The frame 5 may be formed by connecting a plurality of plate members intersecting each other in the lateral and vertical directions. The operating mechanism can drive a closing half shaft or a separating half shaft arranged on the frame 5 to rotate around the central axis of the operating mechanism, so that closing is realized to conduct the conductive loop, or separating is realized to break the conductive loop. The operating mechanism comprises an electric operating mechanism and a manual operating mechanism. The electric operating mechanism usually uses an electric motor to drive the half shaft to rotate through a transmission mechanism. The electric operating mechanism related to the present utility model may be selected from the prior art in the field, and will not be described herein. The manual operating mechanism and its working principle will be described in detail below.
As shown in fig. 1, the manual operating mechanism 1 is mounted on a frame 5, for example, on a cross plate of the frame 5. The manual operation mechanism 1 of the present utility model may be provided corresponding to each of the opening half shaft and the closing half shaft, or the manual operation mechanism 1 of the present utility model may be provided for only one of the opening half shaft and the closing half shaft, and other existing manual operation mechanisms may be provided for the other of the opening half shaft and the closing half shaft. Fig. 2 and 3 show that two manual operating mechanisms 1 are provided in the circuit breaker, corresponding to the opening half shaft and the closing half shaft, respectively. The structure and function of the two manual operation mechanisms 1 are the same, and only one of the manual operation mechanisms 1 will be described below as an example.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the manual operating mechanism 1 is mounted on the frame 5 adjacent to a half shaft 6 (which may be a brake-off half shaft or a brake-on half shaft). The manual operating mechanism 1 includes a movable member 2, a biasing member 3, and a fixed member 4. The fixing member 4 is fixed to the frame 5, for example, to a cross plate of the frame 5. In the embodiment shown, the fixing element 4 is a plate-like or sheet metal element, comprising two sections intersecting each other, of which a first section is fixed to the frame 5 by means of bolts 42 and a second section is arranged next to the movable element 2. The embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3 shows the securing member 4 as a separate piece that is removably mounted to the frame 5, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the securing member may also be a bracket or brace integrally formed with the frame. For example, in one embodiment, a fixing plate is integrally bent from the cross plate of the frame 5 to protrude, as a fixing member for engagement with the movable member 2.
The movable element 2 can be moved back and forth relative to the frame 5 or relative to the fixed element 4. The cross plate of the frame 5 may be formed with an opening to accommodate the moveable member 2 and allow movement of the moveable member 2 in the opening. In other embodiments, rather than forming an opening in the cross plate of the frame to receive the moveable member, the moveable member may be positioned adjacent the edge of the cross plate, and movement relative to the frame may be effected.
The movable member 2 may be constructed as a plate-like member or a sheet metal member, one end of the plate-like member remote from the axle shaft 6 being a manually operable end 21, and the other end of the plate-like member opposite the axle shaft 6 being an actuating end 23 for engaging and driving rotation of the axle shaft 6 about its own central axis. The operating end 21 of the plate-like member forms a bent section 22 for ease of operation. The operating end 21 may be connected to a button or other type of manual operating member. In other embodiments, the bent section 22 of the operating end 21 may be replaced with other structures suitable for operating or connecting a manual operating member such as a button, or the operating end 21 may be directly configured as a manual operating button. The actuation end 23 of the plate is formed with a bevel 24, which bevel 24 is inclined towards the corresponding half shaft 6 and with respect to the axial direction of the half shaft 6. The angle of inclination of the inclined surface 24 with respect to the half shaft 6 should be set according to the construction in the circuit breaker, as long as the half shaft lever 61 of the half shaft 6 can move along the inclined surface 24 and the half shaft 6 can move synchronously to the tripped position during the movement of the movable member 2. In one embodiment, the incline 24 is inclined at an angle of between 30 ° and 75 ° relative to the half shaft 6.
A slide groove 25 is formed in the plate body of the movable element 2, and the second section of the fixed element 4 is arranged against or adjacent to the movable element 2 and is provided with a slide 42 which can be inserted into the slide groove 25. During the reciprocating movement of the movable element 2 in the direction parallel to the axis of the half-shaft 6, the slide 42 moves along the slide groove 25, precisely limiting the path of movement of the movable element 2 relative to the fixed element 4 or relative to the frame 5, preventing deviations. The chute and slide act as a stop limiting the path of movement of the moveable member, and in other embodiments other alternatives are possible. For example, in one embodiment, the chute is formed on the mount. And the slider is formed on the movable member. In another embodiment, the fixed member forms arms on both left and right sides thereof, and the movable member is disposed between the arms and moves along a path defined by the arms. In yet another embodiment, the clamping arm may be formed on the movable member, and the clamping arm grips the fixed member, so that the movement path of the movable member may be limited.
Although the movable member 2 is shown as a plate or sheet metal member, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the movable member 2 may have any suitable cross-sectional shape, so long as it is formed with a bevel at the actuating end facing the half shaft 6. For example, the movable member 2 may be provided with reinforcing ribs so that its cross-section is configured in a cross shape, thereby increasing the strength of the movable member 2.
The movable member 2 is formed with a cantilever 26 to mount the biasing member 3. In the embodiment shown, the biasing member 3 is a spring which is mounted on the cantilever arm 26 and has a cross-sectional dimension which is larger than the dimension of the opening of the frame which accommodates the movable member 2. When the movable member 2 is manually moved in a first direction towards the axle crank arm 61 on the axle 6, the spring is compressed between the movable member 2 and the frame 5, thereby compressing the stored energy. Once the manual operation is completed, the pushing force exerted on the movable member 2 is removed, and the spring drives the movable member 2 to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction to return. The cantilever 26 is formed in a hollowed out portion 27 of the movable member 2, one end being connected to the rest of the movable member 2, and the opposite end being cantilevered in the hollowed out portion 27, facilitating the mounting of the spring on the cantilever 26. In other embodiments, the biasing member may have other alternatives. For example, in one embodiment, the cantilever is omitted, and the hollowed-out portion of the moveable member is provided with a material having elastic properties, and can also be stored after being compressed. In other embodiments, the moveable member is not provided with a hollowed out portion, but rather forms a protruding mounting portion, with a spring or resilient material being pressed between the mounting portion and the frame.
As shown, the cantilever arm 26 is biased in the moveable member 2 and the second section of the fixed member 4 is of smaller transverse dimension than the first section of the fixed member 4 to bypass the spring that is sleeved over the biased cantilever arm 26. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the dimensional relationship of the first and second sections of the mount 4 may be adjusted. For example, in one embodiment, the cantilever arm is centered in the moveable member, the stationary member forms an opening in a neutral position to avoid a spring that is mounted on the cantilever arm, and the first and second sections of the stationary member may be substantially uniform in lateral dimension.
The application of the manual operating mechanism of the present utility model to a circuit breaker will be described with reference to fig. 2 and 3.
Referring to fig. 2, the half shaft 6 may be a brake release half shaft rotatably mounted on the frame 5 about its own center axis. The brake-separating half shaft is provided with a half shaft crank arm 61. During manual opening, the operator pushes the operating end 21 of the movable member 2 so that the movable member 2 moves in a first direction (downward in the drawing) parallel to the axial direction of the half shaft. When the movable part 2 moves until the inclined surface 24 of the actuating end 23 of the movable part abuts against the half-shaft crank arm 61, the movable part 2 continues to move along the first direction, so that the half-shaft crank arm 61 moves along the inclined surface 24, the half shaft 6 is caused to rotate, and the tripping and opening of the circuit breaker are realized.
Referring to fig. 3, as can be seen from the foregoing, the biasing member 3 is compressed to store energy during movement of the movable member 2 in the first direction. When the manual opening is completed, the external force applied to the movable member 2 is removed, the biasing member 3 releases the energy, and the movable member 2 is driven to move away from the half shaft lever 61 in a second direction (upward in the drawing) opposite to the first direction and also parallel to the axial direction of the half shaft. The half shaft 6 is released and rotates the double buckle under the drive of the torsion spring, so that the breaker is allowed to be closed.
The inclined surface 24 of the actuating end 23 of the movable element 2 shown in the figures extends only over a part of the plate body of the movable element 2 and is connected at its extreme end, remote from the operating end 21, to a stop surface 28 parallel to the axial direction of the half shaft, which stop surface 28 interferes with the rotation of the half shaft 6 in the direction of the re-buckling, limiting the limit position of the re-buckling rotation of the half shaft 6.
Fig. 2 and 3 show two manual actuation mechanisms 1 facing away from each other, which correspond to a switching-off half-shaft and a switching-on half-shaft, respectively. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the arrangement of the manual operating mechanism 1 should be adjusted based on the position of the half shafts.
It should be understood that although the present disclosure has been described in terms of various embodiments, not every embodiment is provided with a separate technical solution, and this description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art should consider the disclosure as a whole, and the technical solutions in the various embodiments may be combined appropriately to form other embodiments that will be understood by those skilled in the art.
The foregoing is illustrative of the present utility model and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model. Any equivalent alterations, modifications and combinations thereof will be effected by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principles of this utility model, and it is intended to be within the scope of the utility model.
