Description
- The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage apparatuses, in particular to a circuit breaker with a counting device.
- A counting device of a circuit breaker is mainly used for recording the number of on/off times of the circuit breaker in the use process, and facilitates a user to perform inspection, maintenance and replacement in real time according to the use situations of the circuit breaker. At present, in a counting device of an existing circuit breaker, a cam having a V-shaped groove rotating shaft is adopted to directly drive a counter lever to perform counting, but only the number of rotation revolutions of the V-shaped shaft can be recorded by such counting mode, and the number of operation times of the circuit breaker cannot be recorded directly, thereby resulting in inaccurate counting of the counter and reducing the reliability of the counting device of the circuit breaker. In addition, because a significant shake will be caused to the cam when the circuit breaker is switched on and switched off, and the cam is also in driving connection with the counter lever directly, the resulting shake will cause falling of a transmission structure and the counter lever, such that the counter loses efficacy and the stability of the counting device is reduced.

Figs. 1-8 . The counting device of the circuit breaker of the present invention is not limited to the description in the following embodiments. - A circuit breaker with a counting device of the present invention comprises a
counter 2 and an executinglever 4, wherein thecounter 2 is fixedly mounted on a fixing support 1 on one side of anoperation mechanism 6 of the circuit breaker, the executinglever 4 is mounted on the fixing support 1 in a pivotal mode and is in driving connection with acounting lever 201 of thecounter 2 and alinkage rotating shaft 600 of theoperation mechanism 6, and areset spring 5 which can provide the rotation restoring force for the executinglever 4 is provided at the conjunction between the executinglever 4 and the fixing support 1.

According to the counting device of the circuit breaker of the present invention, the structure of the counting device is simple by mounting the counter and the executing lever on the fixing support, and the assembly efficiency of the device is improved. The operation mechanism drives the linkage rotating shaft to rotate, such that the cantilever slides to drive the executing lever to rotate, thereby realizing direct recording of the number of times of operation cycles of the circuit breaker and accurate counting of the counter, and improving the reliability of the counting device. Moreover, the connecting rod is rotatably connected with the hole shaft of the executing lever and is in contact connection with the counting lever, such that the influence of the shake generated when the circuit breaker is switched on or switched off to the counter and the transmission structure can be reduced, the stability of the counting device is improved, and the service life of the counting device is prolonged. - According to the structural schematic drawing illustrated in
Fig. 1 of the present invention,Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic drawing in which the counting device of the circuit breaker is in an initial state, i.e., at a non-counted state where the circuit breaker is switched off. Specifically, the executinglever 4 of the counting device of the circuit breaker can be driven to oscillate by theoperation mechanism 6; theoperation mechanism 6 is fixedly mounted by themechanism mounting plates 601 on two sides thereof, and alinkage rotating shaft 600 which is in driving connection with theoperation mechanism 6 extends out from two sides of theoperation mechanism 6, and the linkage rotating shaft can rotate when the circuit breaker is switched off or switched on, so as to be in linkage with other circuit breaker or mechanism. Acover plate 602 is mounted on one end, corresponding to the linkage rotating shaft, of theoperation mechanism 6; thecover plate 602 is jointly clamped and fixed by themechanism mounting plates 601 on two sides; the fixing support 1 is mounted on one side of thecover plate 602; thecounter 2 is mounted in front of the fixing support 1, and the executinglever 4 is mounted on a side surface of the fixing support 1 in a pivotal mode; areset spring 5 for driving the executinglever 4 to rotate is also mounted at the conjunction between the executinglever 4 and the fixing support 1. The end portion of the executinglever 4 corresponds to the executinglever 201 of thecounter 2, and is in driving connection with the executinglever 201 of thecounter 2 through the connectingrod 3. The connectingrod 3 not only simplifies a driving connection structure, but also effectively reduces the influence of the shake generated when theoperation mechanism 6 operates to the counter, prolongs the service life of the counter and improve the stability and the reliability of the counting device of the circuit breaker. One end of the executinglever 4 may be in driving connection with the countinglever 201, and the other end of the executinglever 4 may be in driving connection with thecantilever 610 that extends out from the end portion of thelinkage rotating shaft 600. Thecantilever 610 extends out from one end of thelinkage rotating shaft 600 and corresponds to abottom surface 421 of the end portion of the executinglever 4. Thecantilever 610 can rotate synchronously with thelinkage rotating shaft 600 when the circuit breaker is switched off or switched on, such that thecantilever 610 is capable of oscillating up and down. In the oscillating process, the end portion of thecantilever 610 may be further in sliding fit with thebottom surface 421 of the executinglever 4, thereby driving the executinglever 4 to rotate along a pivot to finally drive the connectingrod 3 so as to pull the counting lever to complete counting. - In particular, the

The cantilever mounted at the end portion of the linkage rotating shaft is in driving connection with the executing lever through the lever that is capable of oscillating up and down. On the one hand, because the cantilever is driven to rotate by the linkage rotating shaft to push the executing lever to rotate, the executing lever can be driven to rotate more stably by the force generated by rotating side due to the addition of the lever, such that the stability of the counting device is improved; on the other hand, the influence of the shake to the executing lever and the counter is reduced by indirect driving connection between the cantilever and the executing lever through the lever, and the service life of the counting device is improved.
