Figs. 1-7 . The circuit breaker locking device of the present utility model is not limited to the description in the following embodiments. - According to the structural schematic drawing of the utility model as illustrated in
Fig. 1 , the circuit breaker locking device of the utility model comprises an executing lever 1 and apressing plate 2, wherein a hole shaft of the executing lever 1 is rotatably mounted in abase 3 of a circuit breaker.

Meanwhile, thecontact portion 220 capable of oscillating with thepressing plate 2 can limit a switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism from resetting to a highest position, i.e., a switchable-on position. Because the executing lever is adopted to lock the pressing plate in the utility model, the switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism cannot reset to a highest point to finish switching-on after the circuit breaker has a fault, and therefore a user can operate the circuit breaker to be switched on after searching for a fault and remove the fault, so that the safety of operation personnel and the safety of power supply equipment are ensured. - In particular, a
support 4 capable of clamping and mounting thepressing plate 2 is also arranged in thebase 3, thepressing plate 2 is rotatably mounted in thesupport 4 and corresponds to themagnetic flux 5, and themagnetic flux 5 can receive a controller tripping instruction, i.e., pushing thepressing plate 2 to rotatably oscillate relative to thesupport 4 when the circuit breaker has a fault, such that thelocking end 120 is connected with thelocking surface 212 in a locking manner. The support not only facilitates to assemble the locking device, but also provides a stable support when the pressing plate oscillates and rotates so as to improve the stability and reliability of the locking process. - According to the structural schematic drawing of the executing lever 1 of the utility model as illustrated in
Fig. 2 , areset driving end 110 corresponding to theelastic piece 111 and thelocking end 120 corresponding to thepressing plate 2 are arranged at two ends of the executing lever 1 respectively. Thelocking end 120 comprises afirst acting surface 121 and asecond acting surface 122 which are of a V-shaped structure and are connected to each other. Thesecond acting surface 122 is connected with the end part of the executing lever 1 and parallel to the executing lever 1, and an actingend 123 formed at the junction of thefirst acting surface 121 and thesecond acting surface 122 can be in contact connection with thelocking surface 212. Thefirst acting surface 121 can be in contact connection with the corresponding side of thesliding step 213, and therefore a triangular structure can be formed by thelocking surface 212, thefirst acting surface 121 and one side of thesliding step 213 in case of locking. By means of the locking end having a V-shaped structure, when the executing lever locks the pressing plate, the stable triangular structure is formed by the locking end, the locking surface and the sliding step, such that the locked pressing plate is unlikely to shake, and therefore the stability of the locking device is improved. In particular, a circular arc surface 213a which facilitates thelocking end 120 to slide to thelocking surface 212 from theunlocking surface 211 can be arranged at the top of thesliding step 213. Thefirst acting surface 121 having the V-shaped structure of the utility model obliquely acts on and contacts with thesliding step 131, and therefore, thefirst acting surface 121 can be in contact connection with the circular arc surface 213a stably, without sliding, and therefore the stability of locking connection is ensured. Thereset driving end 110 can drive theelastic piece 111 to store energy when the device is reset, and therefore thelocking end 120 slides from thelocking end 212 back to theunlocking surface 211. It is easily conceivable that the locking device is at a locking state after the circuit breaker has a fault, and under this case, theelastic piece 111 is at an energy-releasing state to provide an acting force under which thelocking end 120 is in contact locking with thelocking surface 212. When the locking device is reset after the fault is removed, thereset driving end 110 is pushed down in a manual manner, and under this case, thelocking end 120 is moved to theunlocking surface 211, and theelastic piece 111 is at the energy-releasing state again. - A
fulcrum mounting hole 130 which is used for being rotatably connected with a hole shaft on the side wall of thebase 3 is also arranged in the middle of the executing lever 1, and ashaft pin 131 can be mounted inside the fulcrum mounting hole. The executing lever is stably and rotatably mounted to the side wall of the base, such that the stability of the locking end of the executing lever when the locking end is driven by the reset driving end is ensured, and the reliability of the executing lever in an oscillating action is improved. In particular, theelastic piece 111 can be a spring arranged between the end part of the executing lever 1 and thebase 3, and acone frustum 112 for limiting and fixing the spring is arranged at the bottom of one end of the executing lever 1. The spring is simple in structure and convenient to mount, such that the installation efficiency of the locking device is improved, and meanwhile the stability of the device during locking and resetting is ensured. - According to the structural schematic drawing of the
pressing plate 2 of the utility model as illustrated inFig. 3 , thepressing plate 2 is mounted on asupport 4 in thebase 3; alocking portion 210 and acontact portion 220 are formed by extending respectively from two sides of thepressing plate 2; adriving portion 240 corresponding to themagnetic flux 5 is arranged in the middle of thepressing plate 2; arotary mounting portion 230 also extends out from thedriving portion 240; amounting cone frustum 231 which can be rotatably connected with a hole shaft of thesupport 4 is arranged at each of two sides, corresponding to thepressing plate 2, of therotary mounting portion 230; themagnetic flux 5 can push thedriving portion 240 when the circuit breaker has a fault, such that thepressing plate 2 can oscillate downwards along themounting cone frustums 231 relative to thesupport 4. The pressing plate is simple in structural design and is mounted in the support of the base, so that the reliability of the pressing plate during rotatable oscillating is ensured. In particular, the lockingportion 210 comprises an unlockingsurface 211 and alocking surface 212 which are adjacent to each other, and a slidingstep 213 is arranged between the unlockingsurface 211 and the lockingsurface 212. In particular, a circular arc surface 213a which is in sliding contact with the bottom of the lockingend 120 is arranged at the top of the slidingstep 213. By means of the circular arc surface, the process of the locking end sliding to the locking surface from the unlocking surface is more easy and fluent to ensure that the action of the executing lever that locks the pressing plate cannot lose efficiency and improve the reliability of the device. In addition, abaffle 214 corresponding to one side wall of thepressing plate 2 is also arranged on the lockingportion 210, and a connectingbaffle 215 is arranged between the end part, corresponding to thelocking surface 212, of thebaffle 214 and the side wall of thepressing plate 2. Agroove structure 216 corresponding to the lockingend 120 is formed jointly by the connectingbaffle 215, thebaffle 214, one side wall of thepressing plate 2 and one side wall of the slidingstep 213. The baffle can be used for positioning the locking end to prevent the locking end from losing efficiency in a locking process and improve the stability of the locking device. Meanwhile, a groove structure having an enclosed structure is formed around the locking surface to improve the locking reliability. Moreover, thecontact portion 220 is of an L-shaped structure and comprises ahorizontal baffle 221 and avertical baffle 222 which are perpendicularly connected to each other. Thevertical baffle 222 is perpendicularly arranged on one side wall of thepressing plate 2, and thehorizontal baffle 221 is parallel to the side surface of thepressing plate 2; thehorizontal baffle 221 can oscillate with the rotation of thepressing plate 2, thereby preventing the switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism from resetting to a highest position, i.e., a switchable-on position. The L-shaped contact portion is simple in structure and convenient to machine and mount, and the horizontal baffle can effectively prevent the operating mechanism from resetting, such that the working performance of the locking device is improved. - According to the front structural schematic drawing of an initial state of the utility model as illustrated in
Fig. 4 , the executing lever 1 is mounted at one side of thebase 3 via theshaft pin 131, and the lockingend 120 of the executing lever 1 is in contact connection with the lockingportion 210 of thepressing plate 2 mounted on thesupport 4. The initial state of the utility model refers to that thepressing plate 2 is in a horizontal position when the locking device does not trigger locking in case that the circuit breaker has no fault, and therefore thecontact portion 220 cannot prevent the switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism from being switched on normally. According to the partial structural cross-sectional view along an A-A direction inside an imagery line as illustrated inFig. 4 , theelastic piece 111 at thereset driving end 110 of the executing lever 1 is at an energy-storage state under the initiate state, the lockingend 120 at the other end of the executing lever 1 is placed in the unlockingsurface 211, and thesecond acting surface 122 of the lockingend 120 leans against one side wall of the unlockingsurface 211 corresponding to the slidingstep 213. - According to the front structural schematic drawing of a locking state of the utility model as illustrated in
Fig. 6 , areset spring 232 which can drive thepressing plate 2 back to an initial position is mounted on the mountingcone frustums 231, and two ends of thereset spring 232 are linked to thepressing plate 2 and thesupport 4 respectively. When the locking end returns the unlocking surface from the locking surface, the pressing plate can drive the contact portion to return to an initial position under the resetting action force of the reset spring, such that the switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism can be reset to a highest position, i.e., a switchable-on position, so as to ensure that the reset pressing plate can return to the accurate initial position and improve the working accuracy of the device. Under the locking state of the utility model, i.e., the locking device triggers locking when the circuit breaker has a fault, themagnetic flux 5 pushes thepressing plate 2 to overcome a resetting force of thereset spring 232 to oscillate and rotate clockwise relative to thesupport 4, and the lockingend 120 of the executing lever 1 can lock the lockingportion 210, and further thecontact portion 220 oscillates clockwise with thepressing plate 2 to prevent the switching-off semi-shaft of the operating mechanism from returning to the highest position, i.e., the switchable-on position. According to the partial structural cross-sectional view along a B-B direction inside an imagery line ofFig. 6 as illustrated inFig. 7 , the slidingstep 213 oscillates with thepressing plate 2 in a locking process, such that thesecond acting surface 122 loses its support, and therefore the lockingend 120 slides downwards into the lockingsurface 212 to finish locking under the energy-releasing acting force of theelastic piece 111. The actingend 123 is in contact with the lockingsurface 212 under the locking state, and meanwhile a triangular structure can be formed by the lockingsurface 212, thefirst acting surface 121 and the slidingstep 213. In particular, a slope 213b which can be matched with and in contact connection with thefirst acting surface 121 is arranged at one side, corresponding to thefirst acting surface 121, of the slidingstep 213, and an obtuse angle is formed between theslope 213 and the lockingsurface 212. By means of the slope arranged at one side of the sliding step, an acting contact area of the first acting surface and the sliding step increases to prevent the contact surfaces from sliding and falling, and ensure that the pressing plate can be effectively locked. By means of the locking end having a V-shaped structure, thefirst acting surface 121 is in obliquely contact with the sliding step, and the contact stability can be effectively ensured due to the arrangement of the slope 213b. If thefirst acting surface 121 is not in obliquely contact with the sliding step, the slope 213b instead makes the locking end fall off easily. After removing a fault of the circuit breaker and unlocking the locking device after confirming that there is no fault, the user can push thereset driving end 110 manually, such that theelastic piece 111 can store energy again, and meanwhile the lockingend 120 moves away from the lockingsurface 212. Thepressing plate 2 returns to the initial position under the resetting force of thereset spring 232 after losing the locking of the lockingend 120, and at this moment, the lockingend 120 is placed inside the unlockingsurface 211 again and is reset. - The utility model is further elaborated according to the above content in conjunction with the specific preferred embodiments, and it may not considered that the specific embodiments of the utility model are only limited to these descriptions. For those common skilled in the art, several simple deductions or replacements made without departing from the concept of the utility model will fall into the protection scope of the utility model.
