ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM FOR CIRCUIT BREAKER AND CORRESPONDING CIRCUIT BREAKER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029986 titled 'ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM FOR CIRCUIT BREAKER AND CORRESPONDING CIRCUIT BREAKER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an adjustment mechanism for a circuit breaker and the corresponding circuit breaker. The mechanism includes a pin that moves along a predefined path with respect to a base part of the circuit breaker. There is a first linkage coupled to the base part that drives a first terminal of the circuit breaker to move towards or away from the base part. Additionally, there is a second linkage coupled to a second terminal of the circuit breaker that is actuated by the pin to drive the second terminal to move towards or away from the base part. The pin moves within a first segment of a groove in the predefined path, and the second linkage is actuated by the pin while the first linkage is not actuated by the pin.

  • The patent/application describes an adjustment mechanism for a circuit breaker that allows for the movement of terminals towards or away from a base part.
  • The mechanism includes a pin that moves along a predefined path, a first linkage that drives a first terminal, and a second linkage that is actuated by the pin to drive a second terminal.
  • The pin moves within a first segment of a groove, and the second linkage is actuated by the pin while the first linkage is not.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Circuit breaker systems in electrical distribution networks
  • Power distribution systems in buildings and industrial facilities
  • Electrical equipment protection in various industries

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows for precise adjustment of terminals in a circuit breaker
  • Facilitates easy installation and maintenance of circuit breakers
  • Enhances the overall performance and reliability of electrical systems

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety by ensuring proper contact and disconnection of electrical circuits
  • Increased efficiency in electrical distribution systems
  • Simplified adjustment and maintenance processes for circuit breakers


Original Abstract Submitted

an adjustment mechanism for a circuit breaker and the corresponding circuit breaker. the adjustment mechanism includes a pin adapted to move with respect to a base part of the circuit breaker along a predefined path; a first linkage coupled to the base part and adapted to drive a first terminal of the circuit breaker to move towards or away from the base part; and a second linkage coupled to a second terminal of the circuit breaker and adapted to be actuated by the pin to drive the second terminal to move towards or away from the base part. the groove has a first segment; and the second linkage is actuated by the pin and the first linkage is not actuated by the pin when the pin moves within the first segment in a first direction along the predefined path.
