Description

Circuit breaker operating mechanism and assembly method thereof
Technical Field

Background
Circuit breakers utilize various mechanisms to unlock the circuit to detect faults and open the circuit affected by the fault. The unlocking device comprises a sensor and activates the mechanism of the circuit breaker which, upon detection of a fault, causes the disconnection of the movable contact from the fixed contact. One type of trip device used in circuit breakers is an electromagnetic trip device, which is commonly used to open circuit breakers during an emergency event. One example of an electromagnetic trip device is a solenoid connected in series to a conductor of a circuit breaker and arranged to activate an operating mechanism when the current in the conductor exceeds a predetermined level. Another type of trip device used in circuit breakers is a thermal trip device, which is commonly used to open circuit breakers during overload events. One example of a thermal trip device is a thermal element, typically a bimetal element (bimetal), which is connected in series to the conductor of the circuit breaker and is arranged to activate the operating mechanism when the current in the conductor exceeds a predetermined level for a predetermined amount of time.
The existing circuit breaker operating mechanism has many parts and is difficult to assemble and difficult to realize automatic assembly, so that the circuit breaker is high in assembly cost. Meanwhile, the problem of manual assembly is more. In recent years, the domestic labor cost is increased, and the assembly cost of circuit breaker assembly personnel is obviously increased. Therefore, a breaker capable of replacing manual assembly by a machine is needed, and the labor cost is greatly reduced on the premise of ensuring the requirements of each index of the breaker.
In addition, the existing circuit breaker is usually provided with a contact supporting member for supporting and installing the moving contact and serving as a transmission member between the operating mechanism and the moving contact, so as to ensure the stable action of the moving contact. However, with the trend of miniaturization design of circuit breakers, a part of a contact support member is omitted for simplifying the structure, and the phenomenon of axial deviation of a rotating shaft of a moving contact easily occurs when the moving contact acts under the conditions of losing the support and the limit of the contact support member, so that the stability of the moving contact is difficult to guarantee, and the overall performance of the circuit breaker is affected.
Moreover, an elastic member is disposed between the latch for cooperating with the electromagnetic trip device and the breaker housing in the conventional circuit breaker operating mechanism to ensure that the latch can be reset, and the elastic member generally adopts a torsion spring or a general spring, or is inconvenient to install, or has insufficient connection stability and elasticity.
