Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a quick closing structure suitable for DC circuit breakers. The present disclosure also relates to a DC circuit breaker including the quick closing structure as described above.
- In the DC circuit breaker in the prior art, since the quick closing element is installed on the operating handle, the functional surfaces of the movable contact bracket and the quick closing element occupy the space of the magnetic assembly, which leads to the design of the size of the magnetic assembly and the arrangement of parts and the like cannot meet the requirements of the product for high breaking performance.
- In order to solve one or more defects in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, a quick closing structure suitable for DC circuit breaker is proposed, which is directly installed on the housing of the DC circuit breaker, so that the quick closing structure is not located between the operating handle of the DC circuit breaker and the magnetic assembly of the DC circuit breaker.
- According to the above aspect of the present disclosure, the quick closing structure includes a closing cam.
- The closing cam includes a cam through hole.
- A first shaft provided on the housing is mated in the cam through hole, so that the closing cam can rotate relative to the housing around the first shaft.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, the closing cam further includes a cam recess and a cam mating portion having an arc surface.
- The cam mating portion extends relative to the cam through hole so as to form an angle with the surface of the closing cam.
- The cam recess is communicated with the cam through hole.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, the quick closing structure further includes a cam pressing plate.
- The cam pressing plate comprises a pressing plate mating portion and a pressing plate connecting portion.
- A pressing plate step is formed between the pressing plate mating portion and the pressing plate connecting portion.
- A mating blind hole is disposed in the pressing plate mating portion.
- A connecting through hole is disposed in the pressing plate connecting portion.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, one end of the first shaft provided on the housing is mated in the mating blind hole.
- A second shaft provided on the housing is mated in the connecting through hole.
- The cam pressing plate presses the closing cam against the inner surface of the housing.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, the quick closing structure further includes a closing cam return spring.
- The closing cam return spring is sleeved on the second shaft and located between the housing and the cam pressing plate.
- One end of the closing cam return spring acts on the housing.
- The other end of the closing cam return spring abuts against and is mated in the cam recess.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, a plurality of elongated bulges are provided along the inner circumferential surface of the connecting through hole.
- The bulges abut against the outer circumferential surface of the second shaft.
- According to the above aspects of the present disclosure, the movable contact bracket of the movable contact assembly of the DC circuit breaker has a first mating surface and a second mating surface.
- The first mating surface and the second mating surface are connected together by the arc surface of the bracket.
- According to the above aspects of the disclosure, when the movable contact assembly of the DC circuit breaker is in the open position with respect to the stationary contact assembly of the DC circuit breaker, the closing cam abuts against the inner surface of the housing under the action of the closing cam return spring, and the arc surface of the cam mating portion does not contact the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket of the movable contact assembly.
- During the movement of the movable contact assembly relative to the stationary contact assembly from the open position to the closed position, the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket is in frictional contact with the arc surface of the cam mating portion, and the contact position between them changes with the rotation of the movable contact bracket, the frictional contact slows down the closing movement of the movable contact assembly.
- When the arc surface of the cam mating portion is out of contact with the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket and comes into contact with the arc surface of the bracket, the force applied by the movable contact bracket to the closing cam causes the closing cam to press the housing.
- When the arc surface of the cam mating portion is out of contact with the arc surface of the bracket, under the action of torque generated by the pressure of the arc surface of the bracket, the closing cam quickly hits the second mating surface of the movable contact bracket, so that the movable contact assembly quickly reaches the closing position, and the return spring is in a compressed state at this time.
- With the continuous closing action of the operating handle of the DC circuit breaker, the arc surface of the cam mating portion rests on the second mating surface of the movable contact bracket.
- According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a DC breaker is proposed, which includes the quick closing structure as described above.
- In the DC circuit breaker according to the present disclosure, since the quick closing structure is not installed on the operating handle, the functional surfaces of the movable contact bracket and the quick closing structure will not occupy the space of the magnetic assembly, which can give more space for the design of the size of the magnetic assembly, arrangement of the parts and the like to meet the requirements of the product for high breaking performance.
- The quick closing structure according to the present disclosure requires less space and saves space. The movable contact bracket of the movable contact assembly always moves when it realizes the function of quick closing, which reduces the friction force of the working surface and reduces the requirement of material strength. The quick closing structure according to the present disclosure is easy to assemble, simple in structure and reliable in performance. Fast closing can effectively reduce contact ablation and prolong service life.

- Quick closing structure according to claim 8, characterized in that,when the movable contact assembly of the DC circuit breaker is in the open position with respect to the stationary contact assembly of the DC circuit breaker, the closing cam abuts against the inner surface of the housing under the action of the closing cam return spring, and the arc surface of the cam mating portion does not contact the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket of the movable contact assembly;during the movement of the movable contact assembly relative to the stationary contact assembly from the open position to the closed position, the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket is in frictional contact with the arc surface of the cam mating portion, and the contact position between them changes with the rotation of the movable contact bracket, the frictional contact slows down the closing movement of the movable contact assembly;when the arc surface of the cam mating portion is out of contact with the first mating surface of the movable contact bracket and comes into contact with the arc surface of the bracket, the force applied by the movable contact bracket to the closing cam causes the closing cam to press the housing;when the arc surface of the cam mating portion is out of contact with the arc surface of the bracket, under the action of torque generated by the pressure of the arc surface of the bracket, the closing cam quickly hits the second mating surface of the movable contact bracket, so that the movable contact assembly quickly reaches the closing position, and the return spring is in a compressed state at this time;with the continuous closing action of the operating handle of the DC circuit breaker, the arc surface of the cam mating portion rests on the second mating surface of the movable contact bracket.
- ADC circuit breaker, characterized in that, the DC circuit breaker comprises the quick closing structure according to one of claims 1-9.
