(38) The second rocker arm part 4-2 is arranged on the other end of the first rocker arm part 4-1, and the second rocker arm part 4-2 is substantially perpendicular to the first rocker arm part 4-1. The second rocker arm part 4-2 is provided along its length with an elongated, circular cross section of second rocker arm hollow portion 4-2-1.

(40) According to
(41) The magnetic adjusting screw 9 is engaged in the threaded through hole and acts on the third rocker arm part 4-3 of the rocker arm 4, so that the rotation of the magnetic adjusting screw 9 in the threaded through hole drives the rocker arm 4 to rotate around the rocker arm rotation shaft 11.
(42)
(43) Similar with
(44)
(45) The movable core rod part 5-1 extends from the movable core body 5-4. The spherical part 5-2 of the movable core 5 is located at one end of the movable core rod part 5-1. The movable core tail 5-3 is located at the other end of the movable core rod part 5-1.

(49) The opening size of the hollow part opening 4-2-2 is set to be smaller than the diameter of the movable core spherical part 5-2. With the sliding-fit of the spherical part 5-2 of the movable core 5 with the second rocker arm hollow part 4-2-1 of the second rocker arm 4, the rotation of the rocker arm 4 will drive the up and down motion of the movable core 5.
(50) The following is a description of the release action of the electromagnetic trip unit with reference to
(51) The trip hammer hook portion 2-1 is engaged with the trip lever hook 3-4 to prevent the trip hammer 2 from rotating under the action of the trip hammer spring.
(52) The trip hammer hook portion 2-1 and the trip lever hook 3-4 are combined to prevent the trip hammer 2 from rotating under the action of the trip hammer spring (not shown).
(53) With continued reference to
(54) Based on the above structure, it can be seen that the electromagnetic trip unit according to the disclosure includes a trip lever and a magnetic field air gap adjusting assembly, wherein the trip lever can move relative to the magnetic field air gap adjusting assembly and actuate the magnetic field air gap adjusting assembly. The magnetic field air gap adjusting assembly is connected with the movable core 5, so that the action of the magnetic field air gap adjusting assembly drives the movable core 5 to adjust the first and second magnetic field air gap.
(55) Specifically, the magnetic field air gap in the disclosure is determined by the position of the movable core 5 (the position of the movable core 5 determines the size of the first magnetic field air gap between the movable core body end 5-4-1 and the lower static core end 13-1 and the size of the second magnetic field air gap between the movable core body step 5-4-2 and the lower static core end 13-1). The position of the movable core 5 is determined by the rotation angle of the rocker arm 4 around the rocker arm rotation shaft 11. The rotation angle of rocker arm 4 is determined by the position of magnetic adjusting screw 9. The position of magnetic adjusting screw 9 is determined by the following two factors:
(56) 1) The number of turns in which the magnetic adjusting screw 9 itself rotates in the rocker arm positioning plate 10. This can be adjusted automatically in the factory when magnetic adjustment is carried out.
(57) 2) When the trip lever 3 moves along the trip lever shaft 18, the trip lever bump 3-6 contacts the positioning plate inclined surface and moves thereon, thereby causes the rocker arm positioning plate rotating. This rotation allows the customer to turn the magnetic tuning knob 17 to obtain the magnetic setting required by the customer.
(58) Based on the above configuration of the present disclosure, the attraction force of a first gravitational magnetic field is relatively large based on the smaller first magnetic field air gap, which ensures that in the case of a small current, the movable core 5 starts to move downward.
(59) After the movable core 5 enters the lower static core, when the first gravitational magnetic field disappears, a second gravitational magnetic field based on the larger second magnetic field air gap provides the attraction force for continued motion until the movable core pulls the rocker arm to the tripping position.
(60) Referring to specific embodiments, although the present disclosure has been described in the specification and the drawings, it should be understood that, without departing from the scope of the disclosure as defined in the claims, persons in the technical field may make a variety of changes and a variety of equivalents may replace many of them.

In addition, according to the instruction of the contents of the disclosure, many changes can be made to suit special circumstances or materials without departing from the essence of the contents of the disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the individual specific embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and the specific embodiments described in the specification as the best embodiments currently envisaged for the implementation of the present disclosure, which is intended to include all embodiments falling within the scope of the above description and the appended claims.
