The electrical equipment covers the aspects of life and industry, and plays a key role in the improvement of science and technology and the development of living standard and industrial standard. The circuit in the electrical equipment is driven by the power supply to control the operation of each part of the electrical equipment so as to realize various functions. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the electrical equipment, it is necessary to ensure that the circuit for controlling the operation of the electrical equipment can operate normally.

In some cases, for example when the current of the circuit is large, short circuits may occur with a high load on the circuit and may cause damage to the electrical equipment. To prevent this, a circuit breaker is generally provided in the circuit for load protection. The circuit breaker can cut off the circuit in time when the current of circuit exceeds the rated value, avoids circuit or electrical equipment to take place to damage. Therefore, circuit breakers are of high importance in the normal operation of electrical equipment and circuits.

It is not negligible that the circuit breaker itself is also an electrical device, and it also needs the circuit to work normally to realize the normal function. In the circuit breaker, the circuit is cut off or conducted by a switching-off mechanism and a switching-on mechanism under the control of a circuit, so that the circuit can normally work only by supplying power to the circuit by a power supply. However, in some cases, the power source may fail, which may result in failure of power supply or insufficient supply voltage, which may affect the power supply of the circuit breaker and may not ensure the normal operation of the circuit breaker. Therefore, how to ensure that the circuit breaker can still work normally when the power supply is abnormal is a problem to be solved urgently.

In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present application provide a dual power supply circuit, a method, and a circuit breaker, which can still ensure that the circuit breaker normally works when the power supply of the circuit breaker is abnormal.

In order to make the technical solutions better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the present application, different technical features may be combined with each other without conflict.

The double-power-supply circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can be used in the circuit breaker 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a circuit breaker 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the circuit in the circuit breaker 1 is a dual power supply circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application, and may include a shunt 10, a first conductive member 20, and a second conductive member 30. Wherein the first end 101 of the shunt is connected to the movable contact 40 and the second end 102 of the shunt is connected to the first position 441 of the printed circuit board PCB 44. The first end 201 of the first conductive member is connected to the second position 442 of the PCB44, and the second end 202 of the first conductive member is connected to the stationary contact 41. The first end 301 of the second conductive member is connected to the conductive plate 42 and the second end 302 of the second conductive member is connected to the third location 443 of the PCB 44. When the primary power source is supplying power, the primary power source, shunt 10, PCB44, second conductive member 30 and conductive plate 42 form a first power supply loop. The auxiliary power source, the first conductive member 20, the PCB44, the second conductive member 30, and the conductive plate 42 form a second power loop when the auxiliary power source is supplying power.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the shunt 10 may include a manganin portion as a main structure of the current sampling, and a pure copper portion with two ends embedded with the manganin, wherein the manganin portion and the pure copper portion have the same thickness and width, and are fixed between the main power source and the moving contact 40 after being embedded, the pure copper portion at the first end is connected to the moving contact 40, and the pure copper portion at the third end is connected to the first end of the main power source. In addition, the manganin structure between the first end and the third end is provided with two thin leads 43, and any one of the thin leads 43 can be selected as the second end 102 of the shunt to be connected with the first position 441 of the PCB 44.

The first end 201 of the first conductive member is connected to the second position 442 of the PCB44, and the second end 202 of the first conductive member is connected to the stationary contact 41. The first end 301 of the second conductive member is connected to the first end of the conductive plate 42, the second end 302 of the second conductive member is connected to the third location 443 of the PCB44, and the second end of the conductive plate 42 is connected to the second end of the main power supply. Thus, the main power supply may form a first power supply loop with the shunt 10, the PCB44, the second conductive member 30, and the conductive plate 42, and the PCB44 is supplied with power from the main power supply when the circuit breaker 1 is in operation.

The first end of the auxiliary power source is connected to the third end of the first conductive member 20, and the second end of the auxiliary power source is connected to the first end of the conductive plate 42, so that the auxiliary power source can form a second power supply loop with the first conductive member 20, the PCB44, the second conductive member 30, and the conductive plate 42, and the auxiliary power source supplies power to the PCB44 when the circuit breaker 1 operates.

In particular, the main and auxiliary power supplies are the power supplies provided in the operating environment of the circuit breaker 1. The main power supply can be a power supply provided by an industrial circuit, and the auxiliary power supply can be a storage battery. Illustratively, the main power supply may connect the second end of the conductive plate 42 and the third end 103 of the shunt to the grid line through the connection terminals, respectively, to form a first power supply loop. The auxiliary power supply may connect the first end of the conductive plate 42 and the third end of the first conductive member 20 to different lines of the main power supply through the connection terminals, respectively, to form a second power supply loop.

As shown in fig. 1, the conductive plate 42 may be an elongated plate extending from a first side of the circuit breaker 1 to a second side of the circuit breaker 1. The first side of the circuit breaker 1 may be the side to which the main power supply is connected, e.g. the right side in fig. 1, and the second side of the circuit breaker 1 may be the side to which the auxiliary power supply is connected, e.g. the left side in fig. 1. It can be seen that the first end 301 of the second conductive member is always connected to the conductive plate 42, and therefore, no matter whether the primary power supply or the secondary power supply is supplied, power is supplied to the third position 443 of the PCB44 through the first end 301 of the second conductive member, that is, the third position 443 is always the power supply position. While the first position 441 provides power to the PCB44 only when the primary power source is providing power and the second position 442 provides power to the PCB44 only when the secondary power source is providing power.

Through setting up three positions on PCB44 to be connected first position 441 and main power supply, second position 442 is connected with auxiliary power supply, and third position 443 all has to be connected with main power supply and auxiliary power supply, can switch to another power supply and supply power when the power of present power supply appears unusually, thereby guarantee through two kinds of power supply circuit that circuit breaker 1 has the electricity all the time, can not receive the influence of having a power failure, insufficient voltage etc. normal work all the time.

In the circuit breaker 1, the transmission structure can be controlled by a handle or a button to drive the movable contact 40 to move towards the direction close to the fixed contact 41 or away from the fixed contact 41, so as to control the closing and opening states of the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41. It can be understood that when the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are closed, the circuit breaker 1 is in a closing state, and when the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are disconnected, the circuit breaker 1 is in an opening state.

In some embodiments, the first electrically-conductive member 20 is operable to sense a first voltage signal on the PCB44 at the second position 442 when the primary power source is supplying power.

Specifically, when the main power is supplied, the first position 441 and the third position 443 of the PCB44 are used for receiving the current of the main power and transmitting the current to the PCB44, thereby completing the power supply. In the first power supply circuit, the first position 441 and the third position 443 are used for supplying power to the PCB44, and the second position 442 is connected to the stationary contact 41 through the first conductive member 20, and when the stationary contact 41 and the movable contact 40 are closed, the second position 442, the stationary contact 41, the movable contact 40, the shunt 10, and the PCB44 form a circuit, so that the first voltage signal can be detected at the second position 442. Therefore, when the main power supply is supplying power, if the first voltage signal not being 0 is detected at the second position 442, it can be determined that the circuit breaker 1 is currently in the closed state. On the contrary, when the fixed contact 41 is disconnected from the movable contact 40, the second position 442, the fixed contact 41, the movable contact 40, the shunt 10, and the PCB44 are disconnected, and the first voltage signal is 0, it can be determined that the circuit breaker 1 is currently in the open state.

In some embodiments, the shunt 10 is used to detect a second voltage signal on the PCB44 at the first location 441 when the auxiliary power source is supplying power.

Specifically, when the auxiliary power is supplied, the second position 442 and the third position 443 of the PCB44 are used for receiving the current of the auxiliary power and transmitting the current to the PCB44, thereby completing the power supply. Further, of the two thin leads 43 disposed between the first end 101 and the third end of the shunt, the other thin lead 43 not connected to the second position 442 is connected as the fourth end 104 of the shunt to the fourth position 444 of the PCB 44.

Therefore, in the second power supply loop, the second position 442 and the third position 443 are used for supplying power to the PCB44, and the first position 441 is connected to the movable contact 40 through the shunt 10, when the fixed contact 41 and the movable contact 40 are closed, the first position 441, the shunt 10, and the fourth position 444 form a loop, so that a second voltage signal between the first position 441 and the fourth position 444 can be detected on the PCB44, and thus, a current value can be calculated according to the second voltage signal, an electric quantity can be calculated in an accumulated manner, overload protection can be performed in time according to the current value, and the like.

In some embodiments, the first conductive member 20 is a torsion spring 45, the first torsion arm 451 of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the second position 442, and the second torsion arm 452 of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the stationary contact 41.

Fig. 2 is a schematic partial structure diagram of a circuit breaker 1 according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 3 is a schematic partial structure diagram corresponding to another angle in fig. 2 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the first conductive member 20 may be a torsion spring 45, and the second position 442 of the pcbs 44 may be provided with a conductive pin 46, such that the first torsion arm 451 of the torsion spring 45 may abut against the conductive pin 46 under torsion to be closely connected to the second position 442. The second torsion arm 452 of the torsion spring 45 can be connected to the stationary contact 41 by abutting against the stationary run-out angle 47 connected to the stationary contact 41.

The torsion arm of the torsion spring 45 is abutted against the conductive pin 46 or the static arc-striking angle 47 to connect the second position 442 and the static contact 41, so that the connection is tight and reliable under the action of the torsion force, excessive circuits are prevented from being arranged in the circuit breaker 1, and the circuit structure in the circuit breaker 1 is simple and clean.

In some embodiments, the first conductive member 20 is a lead, a first end of the lead is connected to the second position 442, and a second end of the lead is connected to the fixed contact 41. The second position 442 and the stationary contact 41 are directly connected by a lead wire, the structure is simple, and the connection between the two is effectively established.

In some embodiments, the second conductive member 30 is a torsion spring 45, the first torsion arm 451 of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the conductive plate 42, and the second torsion arm 452 of the torsion spring 45 is connected to the third position 443.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the second conductive member 30 may be a torsion spring 45, and the third position 443 of the pcba 44 may be provided with a conductive pin 46, so that the second torsion arm 452 of the torsion spring 45 may abut against the conductive pin 46 under the action of torsion force to be closely connected to the third position 443. The first torsion arm 451 of the torsion spring 45 may be connected to the main power source or the auxiliary power source by abutting against the conductive plate 42 connected to the main power source and the auxiliary power source.

In some embodiments, the second conductive member 30 is a lead, a first end of which is connected to the conductive plate 42 and a second end of which is connected to the third location 443. The conductive plate 42 and the third position 443 are directly connected by a wire, the structure is simple, and the connection between the two is efficiently established.

In an example, a specific circuit breaker 1 is taken as an example, and the dual power supply circuit junction of the embodiment is described in detail.

At the first side of circuit breaker 1, be equipped with female end 2 of arranging of positive pole and female end 3 of arranging of negative pole for with be located the positive negative pole of outside main power supply and be connected, when the power supply circuit in circuit breaker 1 was first power supply circuit, the main power supply can be arranged end 2 and female end 3 of arranging of negative pole through the positive pole and supply power to the PCB44 of circuit breaker 1.

Specifically, the other end of the positive busbar end 2 is connected to the third end 103 of the shunt, the second end 102 of the shunt is connected to the first position 441 of the PCB44, the other end of the negative busbar end 3 is connected to the first end 301 of the second conductive member, the second end 302 of the second conductive member is connected to the third position 443 of the PCB44, and the main power supply, the positive busbar end 2, the shunt 10, the PCB44, the second conductive member 30 and the negative busbar end 3 form a first power supply loop, so that the main power supply can supply power to the PCB 44.

And an auxiliary power supply is arranged on the second side of the circuit breaker 1, the anode and the cathode of the auxiliary power supply are respectively connected with the first conductive piece 20 and the second conductive piece 30, and when the power supply loop in the circuit breaker 1 is a second power supply loop, the auxiliary power supply can supply power to the PCB44 of the circuit breaker 1 through the first conductive piece 20 and the second conductive piece 30.

Specifically, the first end 201 of the first conductive member is connected to the second position 442 of the PCB44, the second end 302 of the second conductive member is connected to the third position 443 of the PCB44, and the auxiliary power source, the first conductive member 20, the PCB44, and the second conductive member 30 form a second power supply loop, so that the auxiliary power source can supply power to the PCB 44.

In some embodiments, the first end 101 of the shunt is connected to the movable contact 40, the second end 202 of the first conductive member is connected to the fixed contact 41, and the moving structure moves the position of the movable contact 40 to open and close the fixed contact 41, so as to open and close the circuit breaker 1.

When the power supply loop is a first power supply loop, the first end 201 of the first conductive member connected to the second position 442 may be used as a signal feedback end to detect a voltage signal at the second position 442. When the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are closed, a current passes through the second position 442, and a voltage is detected at the second position 442, and the PCB44 determines that the current circuit breaker 1 is in a closing state according to that the voltage value detected at the second position 442 is greater than 0. When the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are disconnected, no current flows through the second position 442, so that the detected voltage is 0, and the pcbs44 determines that the current circuit breaker 1 is in the open state according to the voltage detected by the second position 442 being 0.

Therefore, when the power supply loop is the first power supply loop, the main power supply supplies power to the PCB44, and whether the voltage value detected by the PCB44 through the second position 442 is 0 or not can determine that the current circuit breaker 1 is in an open or closed state.

In some embodiments, the shunt 10 further includes a fourth end, the shunt fourth end 104 being connected to a fourth location 444 of the PCB 44. When the power supply circuit is the second power supply circuit, the auxiliary power supply supplies power to the second position 442 and the third position 443 of the PCB44 through the first conductive member 20 and the second conductive member 30, thereby supplying power to the PCB 44. At this time, the fourth position 444 of the PCB44 may detect the voltage signal of the shunt 10, and the PCB44 may calculate a current value of the fourth position 444 according to the voltage value of the detected voltage signal, so as to calculate a power consumption of the PCB44, or when the current value exceeds a rated value, it is determined that the circuit breaker 1 is currently in an overload state, and overload protection is performed on the circuit breaker 1.

In some embodiments, the shunt 10 includes a conductive body, a first lead, and a second lead. The first end of the conductive body is connected to a main power source, the second end of the conductive body is flexibly connected to the movable contact 40, the first lead is connected to the first position 441 of the PCB44, and the second lead is connected to the fourth position 444 of the PCB 44.

The embodiment of the application further provides a double power supply method which is applied to the double power supply circuit in any one of the above embodiments. Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a dual power supply method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, a dual power supply method provided in an embodiment of the present application may include:

s101, acquiring a first voltage signal of a first power supply loop.

The first voltage signal of the PCB44 may be detected at a second location 442 in the dual supply circuit when the primary power is being supplied.

And S102, when the voltage value corresponding to the first voltage signal is 0, determining that the circuit breaker 1 is in an opening state.

The second position 442 is a part of a circuit formed by the second position 442, the stationary contact 41, the movable contact 40, the shunt 10, and the PCB44, and when the movable contact 40 and the stationary contact 41 are disconnected, no current flows through the circuit, so that the voltage is 0. And the moving contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are disconnected when the circuit breaker 1 is in the open state, so that the current open state of the circuit breaker 1 can be judged by the voltage value of the first voltage signal being 0.

And S103, when the voltage value corresponding to the first voltage signal is not 0, determining that the circuit breaker 1 is in a closing state.

Similarly to S102, the second position 442 is a part of a loop formed by the second position 442, the fixed contact 41, the movable contact 40, the shunt 10, and the PCB44, and when the movable contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are closed, a current flows through the loop, so that the voltage is not 0. The moving contact 40 and the fixed contact 41 are closed when the circuit breaker 1 is in a closed state, and therefore, the current closed state of the circuit breaker 1 can be determined by judging that the voltage value of the first voltage signal is not 0.

When the main power supply supplies power, the closing relationship between the second position 442 which does not participate in the power supply and the movable and static contacts 41 and the relationship between the closing relationship and the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker 1 are utilized to acquire and judge the signal value of the first voltage signal at the second position 442, and the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker 1 at present is judged.

Optionally, after S101, the method may further include:

and when the voltage value or the change value of the voltage value corresponding to the first voltage signal belongs to the abnormal range, determining that the main power supply fails, and switching to a second power supply loop to supply power to the PCB 44.

It can be understood that whether the supply voltage can meet the voltage requirement of the electrical device determines whether the electrical device can work normally. For example, when the voltage of the electrical equipment is insufficient, certain parts cannot be driven to work normally. In addition, if the voltage variation amplitude provided for the electrical equipment is large, breakdown is easily caused, so that the equipment is damaged, and the maintenance cost is increased.

Accordingly, the PCB44 may also monitor the voltage value or the change value of the voltage value after acquiring the first voltage through the second position 442. When the voltage value exceeds a certain set threshold value or the change value of the voltage value is too large, the current power supply circuit is judged to be abnormal, so that the power supply is switched from the main power supply to the auxiliary power supply in time, and the breaker 1 is prevented from being damaged or the normal work of the breaker 1 is prevented from being influenced due to insufficient voltage.

Optionally, after switching to the second power supply circuit to supply power to the printed circuit board PCB44, the method further includes:

s201, acquiring a second voltage signal of a second power supply loop.

A second voltage signal between the first location 441 and the fourth location 444 on the PCB44 may be detected via the second location 442 in the dual power circuit when the auxiliary power source is supplying power.

And S202, determining the current value in the second power supply loop according to the second voltage signal.

In the loop formed by the second position 442, the shunt 10, the first position 441 and the PCB44, the second voltage signal between the first position 441 and the second position 442 is a voltage signal across the shunt 10, so that the value of the current flowing through the shunt 10 can be calculated according to the voltage value of the second voltage signal.

S203, determining the electricity consumption of the circuit breaker 1 according to the current value, and/or performing overload protection on the circuit breaker 1 when the current value exceeds a preset threshold value.

When the auxiliary power supply supplies power, the power consumption of the circuit breaker 1 is calculated according to the current value of the shunt 10. The power consumption condition can be monitored in time when the auxiliary power supply is the storage battery, the residual electric quantity of the storage battery can be conveniently judged according to the available electric quantity of the storage battery and the power consumption of the circuit breaker 1, and therefore the storage battery can be replaced or switched to be supplied with power for a main power supply when the electric power of the storage battery is insufficient.

In addition, through the current value of control flowing through circuit breaker 1, can in time carry out overload protection when the current value is too big, avoid circuit breaker 1 short circuit, produce extra cost of maintenance.

According to the double-power-supply method provided by the embodiment of the application, the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker 1 can be judged by monitoring the first voltage signal of the PCB44 when the main power supply is used for supplying power.

The embodiment of the present application further provides a circuit breaker 1, which includes the dual power supply circuit in the above embodiment, and when the dual power supply circuit works, the dual power supply method in the above embodiment is executed.

In one example, a double power supply method performed by the double power supply circuit during the operation of the circuit breaker 1 will be described in detail. In the dual power supply circuit provided in the above embodiment, the first power supply loop and the second power supply loop in the dual power supply circuit can be switched to each other by the dual power supply method.

Specifically, after acquiring the first voltage signal at the second position 442 in the first power supply loop, the PCB44 determines whether the first voltage value of the first voltage signal or the first variation value of the first voltage value belongs to the abnormal range. When the first voltage value belongs to the first abnormal range or the first variation value belongs to the second abnormal range, it may be determined that a main power supply supplying power to the PCB44 in the first power supply loop has a fault, and at this time, the power supply loop is switched to the second power supply loop, and the auxiliary power supply supplies power to the PCB 44.

Similarly, when the power supply circuit in the circuit breaker 1 is the second power supply circuit, whether to switch the power supply circuit to the first power supply circuit may be determined by whether the second voltage value of the second voltage signal or the second variation value of the second voltage value belongs to the abnormal range.

Whether the voltage value or the voltage change value of the current power supply loop belongs to the abnormal range or not can be judged, whether the power supply source of the current power supply loop has a fault or not can be found in time, so that the power supply loop can be switched in time, and the PCB44 is guaranteed to be electrified and work normally all the time.

In some embodiments, the switching of the first and second power supply loops may be limited by an abnormal time and/or an abnormal number of times.

For example, when the auxiliary power source is a storage battery and the storage battery has little charge, the power supply loop is switched to a second power supply loop powered by the auxiliary power source due to the failure of the main power source, and the charge of the storage battery is exhausted before the main power source is repaired, so that a normal voltage cannot be provided, and at this time, the circuit breaker 1 determines to replace the power supply loop to the first power supply loop according to a second voltage value or a second variation value of the second voltage signal. And at the moment, the main power supply is not successfully repaired, and the power supply circuit is determined to be replaced into a second power supply circuit again according to the first voltage signal. Because the time for detecting the voltage signal and judging whether to replace the power supply loop or not and the time for replacing the power supply loop according to the voltage signal are very fast, when the power supply abnormality exists in both the main power supply and the auxiliary power supply, in order to avoid the useless power caused by switching the power supply loop for many times, the switching times can be limited by the abnormality time or the abnormality times. For example, when the number of times of abnormality of the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal exceeds 5 times within the abnormal time, it may be determined that neither of the two current power supply loops can work normally, and a warning message may be sent to a user in a manner of beeping or packet transmission, so as to prompt the user to resolve the problem.

In some embodiments, the circuit breaker 1 provided by the embodiments of the present application is a plug-in circuit breaker 1.

To sum up, the double-power-supply circuit, the double-power-supply method and the circuit breaker 1 provided by the embodiment of the application are characterized in that three positions are arranged on the PCB44, the first position 441 is connected with the main power supply, the second position 442 is connected with the auxiliary power supply, and the third position 443 is connected with the main power supply and the auxiliary power supply. In addition, when the main power supply supplies power, the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker 1 can be judged by monitoring the first voltage signal of the PCB 44.
