It should be understood that, because the rolling bearings 19 are adopted, the "manufacturing and mounting irregularity" can be compensated by fixed connection of the fixing plate 3 and the bearing base f.
  • a small plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking unit 30 adopts a split structure, i.e.: the small plastic case of the single pole circuit breaking unit 30 comprises a first small side case plate 10, a second small side case plate 11, a third small side case plate 12 and a fourth small side case plate 13, wherein the first small side case plate 10 and the second small side case plate 11 are assembled oppositely to form a first arc extinguishing chamber 6 and a semicylindrical chamber, and the third small side case plate 12 and the fourth small side case plate 13 are assembled oppositely to form another arc extinguishing chamber 9 and a semicylindrical chamber; the arc extinguishing chamber 6 is provided with a first clamping part c1 and a second clamping part c2; the another arc extinguishing chamber 9 is provided with a third clamping part d1 and a fourth clamping part d2; the first clamping part c1 is in clamping fit with the third
  • the present invention also has another technical effect: relative to the integral rotating shaft, the small plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking unit 30 of the present invention also adopts an integral structure which can be alternately substituted with the split structure, but is simpler than the split structure, and therefore the precise fit between the circular arc surface a on the small plastic case and the outer cylindrical surface 183 of each of the contact supports 17, 18 can be well ensured.
  • the integral structure is as illustrated in Fig. 7-8 : the small plastic case of each single pole circuit breaking unit 30 comprises a first side big case plate 23 and a second side big case plate 24 which are assembled into two arc extinguishing chambers 6, 9 and a cylindrical chamber b, and the two arc extinguishing chambers 6 and 9 are assembled integrally.
  • the case base 21 of the big plastic case is provided with pole partition walls g, wherein a fixing plate 3 required for fixing the rolling bearings 19 is arranged on each partition wall g and can be detachably connected with the bearing base f in a screw fastening manner so as to facilitate mounting and changing, and the fixing plate 3 can adopt any one of systems suitable for such structure.
  • an upper semicircular bearing semi-hole and a lower semicircular bearing semi-hole formed in the fixing plate 3 and the partition wall g respectively constitute a structure for fixing the rolling bearings 19.
  • a semicircular groove formed by a body of the partition wall g is used as the bearing base f in the lower semicircle and has a diameter matched with the outer diameter of each rolling bearing 19;
  • the fixing plate 3 having a bearing semi-hole as illustrated in Fig. 1 is used as a bearing cover plate in the upper semicircle and has a diameter matched with the outer diameter of each rolling bearing 19, and the fixing plate 3 is fixed on the big plastic case through screws.
  • the outer rings of the rolling bearings 19 are fixed in the case base 21 through fit connection between the bearing base f and the fixing plate 3. Due to the adoption of this mounting structure, no loosening and convenient mounting of the rolling bearings 19 as illustrated in Fig. 9 for positioning and supporting can be ensured, and very flexible rotation performances of each contact support can be achieved. Meanwhile, a series of problems affecting product performances caused by machining errors and mounting errors, which have never been solved by the prior art, can be overcome at the same time, and relatively high mounting and positioning precision and enough bearing capacity can be obtained economically.
  • each of the existing circuit breakers is designed to be provided with a rotary rod-shaped block or rotating shaft which is used for fixedly connecting movable contact components of adjacent poles and supporting closing and breaking of the movable contact bridges.
  • a rotary rod-shaped block or rotating shaft which is used for fixedly connecting movable contact components of adjacent poles and supporting closing and breaking of the movable contact bridges.
  • the metal specially-shaped shaft is machined hardly, and the size precision is hard to ensure not to reduce the insulation performance and strength of the rotating shaft, and the manufacturing and assembling errors of the rotating shaft for supporting closing and breaking of the movable contact bridge is difficult to arrive at the supporting precision and assembling precision requirements of designed related parts and components, and therefore reliable mechanical connection and transmission among units of each pole cannot be realized.
  • the ideal coaxiality, rigidity and flexibility of the rotation axis of each of the contact supports 17, 18 with the bridge-shaped movable contact 20 of each pole are realized by directly performing plug connection on a plurality of contact supports skillfully, adding the rolling bearings to the directly connected structure skillfully and connecting the contact supports of each pole in series by the two mutually parallel through shafts 7, the defects of strength reduction, poor temperature resistance, insulation performance reduction and the like of the movable contact bridge of each pole in long-term use of the circuit breaker in the past because the contact supports are arranged on one rotating shaft are solved, and the technical indexes in terms of the breaking capacity, working stability and the like of the low-voltage plastic case circuit breaker are completely improved.
  • the double-break contact bridge-shaped movable contact is supported by the contact support 17 or 18, without the need of arranging a rotating shaft between the contact supports of adjacent poles, or without the need of arranging a connecting rod between the contact supports of each pole, and each contact support is directly connected with one of the adjacent contact supports 18, therefore connecting points are reduced to improve the coaxiality.
  • a rolling bearing 19 is arranged between every two adjacent contact supports and is fixedly mounted on a partition wall g of the big plastic case of the circuit breaker.
  • the rotation center of each contact support is defined by the rotation center of the rolling bearing 19, such that the rotation axis of each of the contact supports 17, 18 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the rolling bearing 19.
  • each rolling bearing 19 has extremely high rotation precision and sensitivity, high rotation sensitivity and high rotation precision of each contact support 18 are ensured.
  • Each rolling bearing 19 only needs to be connected with the bearing connecting end extending out from the contact support 18, and because one rotating shaft is reduced from each pole, the precision of rotary support and the rigidity of anti-load deformation can be ensured more easily, which is beneficial to realizing the synchronism among contacts.
  • the multi-pole double-break contact plastic case circuit breaker disclosed by the invention can ensure the precision requirements just relaying on the precision of a die itself, reduces the inevitable influences from factors of poor coaxiality, rigidity and strength due to more connecting links, and is easy to machine and debug.
