    “CIRCUIT BREAKER SET
    Field of the Invention [0001] The inventive concept generally belongs to circuit breakers, and, more particularly, to sets of circuit breakers, such as, for example, circuit breaker panels for a number of circuit breakers.
    History of the Invention [0002] Circuit breakers are used, for example, in aircraft electrical systems, where they provide protection, but also serve as circuit breakers for switching equipment on / off. Aircraft circuit breakers or sub-miniature circuit breakers, for example, are typically relatively small, to accommodate a leiout with a relatively high density of aircraft circuit breaker panels, leaving circuit breakers for numerous circuits accessible to users. Aircraft electrical systems can consist, for example, of hundreds of circuit breakers, each used for a protection function, as well as for a disconnect function, through a push-pull handle.
    [0003] The push-pull handle of the circuit breaker is moved from the inside to the outside to open the corresponding load circuit. This action can be either manual or automatic, in case there is an overload or fault condition. If the push-pull handle is moved from the outside to the inside, then the circuit is re-energized. If the load circuit de-energizes automatically, then the operation from the outside to the inside of the push-pull handle corresponds to a
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 6/35
    2/19 action to reconfigure (reset) the circuit breaker.
    [0004] Such circuit breakers typically include a threaded ring. A suitable fastener, such as nut and washer, mounts the circuit breaker in the corresponding opening of an aircraft circuit breaker assembly panel. The push-pull handle passes through the rim to the user's side of the mounting panel. The circuit breaker also typically includes load screw lines and terminals, arranged on the maintenance side, opposite the mounting panel.
    [0005] U.S. Patent No. 5,612,579 describes a power distribution center, at least one printed circuit board (PCB Printed Circuit Board) at least one layer in a housing which directs the power of a plurality of electric power feeders for a first contact, in a plurality of sockets screwed on the housing surface. The printed circuit board directs electrical energy from a second contact in the plurality of screwed sockets in a plurality of connector ports arranged on the opposite surface of the housing. This facilitates the electrical connection to external loads that demand electrical energy. A plurality of screw-type circuit breakers, manually resetable, are screwed into the sockets to removably connect the first contact of the screw sockets to the second contact. The electrical energy from the feeders is directed to the first contact by energy feeders, which are smaller on one side of the printed circuit board.
    [0006] So there is room for improvement

    4/19 maintain coupling of each circuit breaker the number of circuit breakers with the corresponding member of the number of first plug-in members.
    [0009] The plate member may comprise a first rigid member glued to a second flexible member; the first rigid member can form the first surface of the plaque member; and the second flexible member can form the second opposite surface of the plate member.
    [0010] The electric bus structure can comprise a plurality of layers of a conductive electric power bus. Each layer of the plurality of layers can be sandwiched between two layers of the thermally conductive thermoplastic.
    [0011] A layer of the plurality of layers can be glued to the corresponding layer of the two layers of the thermally conductive thermoplastic by a structural tape based on epoxy.
    [0012] The structural tape based on epoxy can be structured to transfer epoxy when heated, providing a seal around the corresponding layer of the plurality of layers, and glue the corresponding layer of the plurality of layers to the corresponding layer of the two layers of thermoplastic thermally conductive.
    [0013] The electrical bus structure can comprise a printed circuit board, adjacent to the layer of a thermally conductive thermoplastic. The printed circuit board can be structured to communicate a number of signals from a number of the number of circuit breakers.

    [0015] The second flexible member can be formed from a liquid silicone rubber glued to the first rigid member.

    Description of Preferred Settings [0026] As used in this, the term Number refers to one, or to an integer greater than one.
    [0027] As used in this, the statement that two or more parts are coupled means that the parts are connected

    7/19 either directly or by one or more intermediate parties.
    [0028] As used herein, the term Fixative refers to any suitable connection or fixation mechanism, expressly including screws, nuts, (without limitation, locking screws), and combinations thereof.
    [0029] The inventive concept will be described in association with aircraft circuit breakers or subminiature circuit breakers, although the inventive concept is also applicable to a wide range of different circuit breakers for a wide range of different applications. Such circuit breakers can be used, for example, without limitation, in aircraft AC alternating current systems typically having a frequency of about 400 kHz, but they can also be used in DC direct current. It is also evident that the inventive concept is applicable to other types of circuit breaker panels, including panels used in AC systems, operating on other frequencies; and on larger circuit breakers, such as residential or commercial circuit breakers, miniature circuit breakers, and in a wide range of circuit breaker applications, such as, for example, residential, commercial, industrial, aerospace, and automotive. As an additional non-limiting example, both AC operations (without limitation, 120, 220, 480-600, VCA) over a wide range of frequencies (ie without limitation 50, 60, 120, 4000 Hz and higher and lower) and operation DC (ie without limitation, 42 VDC) are possible.
    [0030] Referring now to figures 1-5 and 8, a circuit breaker assembly, such as an exemplary plug-in circuit breaker panel 2, is shown. The plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 includes a housing 4, a
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 12/35
    8/19 electric bus structure 6 coupled to housing 4, a number of first plug members 8 (as best shown in figure 2) coupled to electric bus structure 6, and a number of circuit breakers 10 (an example of circuit breaker being shown in figures 1; fifteen exemplary circuit breakers are shown in figure 8).
    [0031] Circuit breakers 10 include a first surface 12 (shown in figures 2 and 5), a manual operator 14 (without limitation, a push operation handle) arranged from the first surface 12, and a second plug member 16 (figure 8; better shown in figure 5) disposed opposite the first surface 12. The second plug member 16 of each circuit breaker breaker 10 is coupled to the corresponding plug member 8. A plate member such as like the exemplary face plate 18, it is removably coupled to the housing 4. Face plate 18 includes a first surface 20, a second opposite surface 22, and a number of openings 24 arranged through the first surface 20, and a second opposite surface 22 on the face plate 18. The operator 14 passes through the corresponding opening of the openings 24. The first surface 12 of the circuit breaker 10 engages the second opposite surface 22 of the face 18, to maintain the coupling of each circuit breaker of the number of circuit breakers 10 with the corresponding member of the first plug members 8.
    [0032] Face plate 18 includes a number of captive fasteners 26 (i.e. without limitation, quarter-turn fasteners) removably engaging housing 4. Figure 2 shows the
    Petition 870190080296, of 19/08/2019, p. 13/35
    9/19 plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 with face plate 18 (figure 1) removed.
    [0033] The second plug-in member 16 and the corresponding coupled first plug-in member 8 cooperate to provide an electrical power input (ie line) and load output (ie load) from the corresponding circuit breaker 10. The input Electric power can be, for example, a single phase AC or DC input. Alternatively, the electrical input can be a three-phase AC input, as shown in the three-phase plug member 28.
    Example 1 [0034] Figure 3 shows the rear of the plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 including first and second feeders 30, 32 for a three-phase system. Typically, for each of the feeders 30, 32, a single three pole AC circuit breaker (not shown) and a plurality of single pole AC circuit breakers (not shown) can be provided in each of the three phases. For example, each of the feeders 30, 32 is a three-terminal terminal block, having three power terminals for the three phases of the corresponding feeder. A first surface 34 (figure 2) of the electric bus structure 6 is close to the number of first plug members 8, and feeders 30, 32, and their terminals are coupled to the second opposite surface 36 along with a number of load connectors 38 , 40. Here, load connectors 38, 40 include load outputs (ie loads) of the corresponding circuit breakers 10 associated with the respective feeders 30, 32. Similarly, the power inputs (ie lines) for the corresponding
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 14/35
    10/19 circuit breakers 10 are associated with the respective feeders 30, 32). The electrical bus structure 6 (ie a number of internal electrical energy layers therefrom) adequately directs load outputs from the various circuit breakers 10 and electrical inputs to the various circuit breakers 10. As shown in figure 8 , the load outputs can be coupled between the electric bus structure 6 and connectors 38, 40 by means of a number of ribbon cable conductors 41.
    [0035] Figure 4 shows face plate 18 removed from plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 (i.e. for maintenance or inspection of the various circuit breakers 10 of figure 1).
    [0036] As shown in figure 8, face plate 18 includes a first rigid member 42 glued to a second flexible member 44. Rigid member 42 forms the first surface 20 of face plate 18, and the second flexible member 44 forms the second opposite surface 22 of the face plate 18. The second flexible member 44, for example, without limitation, can be formed from a liquid silicone rubber (LSR of Liquid Silicone Rubber) glued to the first rigid member 42 (without limitation, an aluminum plate).
    [0037] As shown with reference to figures 1, 2, 4, 8, face plate 18 and second flexible member 44 allow installation, removal, and replacement of a number of circuit breakers 10, to remove a number of fasteners captives 26 and circuit breaker faceplate 18 and allow access to the number of circuit breakers 10 disposed behind faceplate 18. The number of
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 15/35
    11/19 circuit breakers are held in place with the flexible second member 44, which is compressible, and provides a reliable damping surface, which covers the circuit breaker surface 12, to keep circuit breakers 10 in place without requiring the use of additional hardware. For example, the LSR can be compressed to keep the number of circuit breakers 10 in place, and to prevent relative movement between them.
    Example 2 [0038] Figure 5 shows a circuit breaker 10 in the plug-in circuit breaker panel 2. Each member of the number of plug-in members 8 constitutes a plurality of male terminals, and the second plug-in member 16 constitutes a plurality of female sockets. Alternatively, any type of suitable fuse (blade or banana plug) can be used. Circuit breaker 10 can be readily removed using plug members 8, 16. The use of male terminals of linear motion circuit breaker (plug type) and female sockets and face plate 18 eliminates threaded bushings, nuts, washers, lock washers, and terminal screws, which are used in known aircraft circuit breakers. As a result, circuit breaker maintenance can be performed, for example, without limitation, in less than five minutes, versus method hours
    previous. O panel circuit breaker in circuit 2 remains fixed on the aircraft (no shown), so reducing the number in components furniture , reducing The wiring extension for
    access. This also reduces point-to-point wiring, and other interconnections.
    Example 3
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 16/35
    12/19 [0039] Referring to figure 8, another plug-in circuit breaker panel 50 includes a housing (not shown, but housing 4 can be seen in figure 1) and an electrical bus structure 51, which can be the same or similar to the bus structure 6 of figure 1. A first surface 52 of face plate 54 includes an illuminated legend 56 for a number of circuit breakers number 58. LED illuminated strips 60 can identify the corresponding circuit breaker, such as 58 and the corresponding power or load circuit (not shown). Caption strips 60 can be structured to be removed and easily reconfigured in about five minutes.
    Example 4 [0040] The plug-in circuit breaker panel 50, similar to the plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 of figure 1, can include both AC and DC circuits of various capacities (ratings) connecting multiple aircraft buses (not shown) ) and individual loads (not shown). Circuit breakers 58 may include, for example, and without limitation, single phase AC circuit breakers 62 (ie without limitation 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 Amps; 50, 60, 75, 80, 90, 100 Amperes), and 64 single phase AC three-phase circuit breakers (ie without limitation, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 Amps; 50, 60, 75, 80, 90, 100 Amperes), and AC 66 circuit breakers (ie without limitation, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 Amperes). AC operation can be, for example, without limitation, 115 VRMS and variable frequency (i.e. 372 Hz to 780 Hz). The plug-in circuit breaker panel 50 may include, for example,
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 17/35
    13/19 without limitation, 40 plug-in DC circuit breakers including auxiliary contacts (not shown), and 4 single-phase AC circuit breakers 62 with auxiliary contacts (not shown), and 6 three-phase AC circuit breakers 66 with auxiliary contacts (no shown). However, the inventive concept can be applied to a wide range of numbers of circuit breakers.
    Example 5 [0041] Preferably, the number of plug-in circuit breaker panels 2.5 can accommodate growth (ie without limitation, a predetermined percentage of growth in the number of circuit breakers; a number of additional circuit breakers ).
    Example 6 [0042] Figure 7 shows a plug-in circuit breaker panel 50 including 4 exemplary connectors 68, 70, 72, 74. It should be appreciated that the various feeders (not shown), such as, for example, without limitation , a number of terminal blocks of three terminals for a number of AC feeders, and a number of terminal blocks of one terminal (for a number of DC feeders) can accept a number of electrical inputs (ie without limitation, one number of AC lines, a number of DC lines) from a number of feeders (not shown). The four exemplary connectors 68, 70, 72, 74. provide outputs for a number of charges (i.e., without limitation, a number of AC charges; a number of DC charges).
    Example 7 [0043] Electric bus structures 6, 51 allow plug-in circuit breaker panels 2.5
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 18/35
    14/19 provide relatively reduced size (i.e., without limitation 8.5 x 11 x 3) and weight (i.e., without limitation 11 pounds per panel).
    Example 8 [0044] The exemplary plug-in circuit breaker panel 50 of figures 6 and 7 includes a multilayer electrical bus structure 51, an exemplary aluminum circuit breaker face plate 54 having a number of captive fasteners 78, 4 (with respect to figure 6) top rows of plug-in DC circuit breakers and 3 (with respect to
    figure 6) ranks of AC circuit breakers of plug in three-phase 62, 66, provision for substitutes 76, four connectors 68, 70, 72, 74, and caption strips removable illuminated 60.
    Example 9 [0045] As shown in figure 7, the exemplary plug-in circuit breaker panel 50 includes an illumination module 80, 4 connectors 68, 70, 72, 74, an electrical bus structure 51, a monitor array 82 , a printed circuit board (PCB) 84, and plug-in circuit breakers 62, 66, 64 (figure 6).
    Example 10 [0046] Figure 8 shows the circuit breaker panel 2 of figure 1 with face plate 18 removed. The electric bus structure 6 can include a plurality of layers 86 that form a conductive bus. Each of the layers 86 can be sandwiched between the two corresponding layers 88, 90 of the thermally conductive thermoplastic. For example, one of the two layers 86 can be glued to the corresponding layer of layers 88, 90 of the thermoplastic
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 19/35
    15/19 thermally conductive with a structural tape based on epoxy 92. For example, three different layers 86 can be used in a three-phase AC application. An additional external layer adjacent to circuit breakers 10 can be printed circuit board 84, if auxiliary contacts are employed.
    [0047] The electrical busbar structure 6 can employ, for example, without limitation, a relatively thin, printed or laser-cut copper bus (not shown) (ie without limitation, with a thickness of 0.15 inches for a direct current of 75 A) for layers 86. The exemplary copper bus can be sandwiched between layers 88, 90 of the thermally conductive thermoplastic (ie without limitation, thermally conductive thermoplastic LCP having a thickness of 0.060 inches), which prevents localized heating (or hot spots ).
    [0048] The layers of specimens 88, 86, 90 can be glued with structural tape 92, such as, without limitation, 3M ™ VHB TM stamped with a thickness of 0.020 inches, which, when heated, transfers epoxy, and cures, from so that reheating has no effect; (2) provides a seal around the inner copper bus, thereby creating an appropriate moisture / dielectric barrier; and (3) glue layers 86, 88 (or 86, and 90) (one of the layers 66 to the corresponding layer of the two layers 88, 90 of the thermally conductive thermoplastic).
    Example 11 [0049] The plug-in circuit breaker panel 2 is relatively thin (i.e. without limitation, having a thickness of less than 0.375 inches for AC three-phase panels)
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 20/35
    16/19 relatively high power, for DC panels). This solution is more economical than conventional printed circuit boards, which employ custom track widths and thicknesses. Example 12 [0050] Circuit breakers 10 can employ auxiliary terminals 94 (figure 2) that report a status for secondary electrical power distribution set of electrical power system (not shown). For example, the layer (PCB 84) on the first surface 34 (figure 2) of the electrical bus structure 6 can be made of FR4 or another common printed circuit board material. This layer can include sockets for a relatively low current (not shown) and printed circuit tracks (not shown) that interface the two corresponding auxiliary pins (not shown) on circuit breaker 10, typically employed for auxiliary signals 96 (ie status of open, closed status). In this way, both main signals (line and load) and auxiliary 96 can employ plug-in technology. The exemplary electric bus structure 6 can optionally accommodate an auxiliary PCB 84 (figure 7) (ie without limitation, a conventional FR4 PCB) to the LCP layers, such as 88, 90, for a signal current, such as, for example, and without limitation, auxiliary on / off contacts, which can be used to determine the status of the corresponding circuit breaker (without limitation, closed; tripped / open). PCB 84 can communicate a number of auxiliary signals 96 (figure 2) from a number of circuit breakers 10 to the secondary power distribution set.

    Example 13 [0051] The inventive concept allows a number of circuit breakers 10 to be readily exchanged without changing the wiring of the plug-in circuit breaker panel
    2. Plug 10 circuit breakers can be relatively quickly removed (ie without limitation, in less than a minute) and replaced without using conventional circuit breaker mounting hardware (not shown) on the front of a panel. conventional circuit breaker (not shown), and without using two conventional screw terminal screws per circuit breaker on the back of a conventional circuit breaker panel (not shown). In contrast, the described circuit breakers 10 can be safely removed from the front of the energized plug-in circuit breaker panel 2, in contrast to the known technique of de-energizing the circuit breaker panel (not shown) and accessing the front and back of the circuit breaker panel. For example, the inventive concept eliminates installation errors, with respect to loose screws (not shown), and with respect to the possibility of the hardware (not shown) loosening or loosening from the conventional circuit breaker panel assembly (not shown) . Example 14 [0052] The inventive concept reduces the weight of plug-in circuit breaker panel 2, because the outer bus of the power line (not shown) between circuit breakers (not shown) of a conventional circuit breaker panel (not shown) is avoided. The total height of the plug-in circuit breaker panel 2
    Petition 870190080296, of 8/19/2019, p. 22/35
    18/19 is reduced, because the hinge panel mechanisms (not shown) are eliminated, and the rear wiring or connections (ie 41 in figure 1) and any suitable flexible or rigid electrical connection are fixed with a relatively minimal radius of curvature , there being no need to add additional wiring to remove the device from a hinged panel (not shown) to accommodate a movement, there is no need for the user to configure the wiring, and there is also no need to bundle all the wiring behind the panel. The inventive concept also eliminates the need for voltage relief (not shown), and wire clamps and the like for external power line bus (not shown) between circuit breakers. On previous aircraft panels (not shown), there is a need to open, remove, and access the back of the aircraft panels. In addition, such aircraft panels require additional space behind the panels in order not to compress (and tension) the wiring at the back of the panels. In addition, as the power line and the load bus (not shown) are within the electrical bus structure of the plug-in circuit breaker panel 2, the possibility of line-to-line shorts is reduced, since numerous Isolated conductors (not shown) are replaced by the laminated elimination bus structure of example 6.
    Example 15 [0053] The inventive concept eliminates the use of most external wiring (not shown) and threaded connections (not shown) in circuit breakers, such as in aircraft circuit breakers.

    Example 16 [0054] Although a number of circuit breakers 10 has been described, other applications may include relays and contactors (not shown). However, it is believed that these applications employ mounting screws (not shown), instead of the face plates described 18, 54 to fix the corresponding plug assembly.
    [0055] While specific configurations of the inventive concept have been described in detail, those skilled in the art should appreciate that various modifications and alternatives to those details can be imagined and developed in the light of the teachings of the specification. Therefore, the particular arrangements described are merely illustrative and in no way limiting with respect to the scope of the inventive concept, which will be given, in its total scope, only by the attached claims and any of and all their equivalents.
