The invention discloses a
circuit breaker with an earthquake protection function. The
circuit breaker comprises a
circuit breaker body and an earthquake sensing
protection mechanism. When an earthquake occurs, the overhanging end of a second touch plate vibrates along with the earthquake, the second touch plate is in
lap joint with a first touch plate, and at the moment, the circuit is switched on. Due to the fact that a permanent
magnet is arranged on the second contact plate, the first contact plate and the second contact plate are in magnetic contact for a long time through the magnetic attraction effect, and the circuit is continuously connected. Because
electric equipment is not connected into the circuit,
short circuit is caused, the circuit
short circuit triggers the open
circuit protection of the circuit breaker body, the
tripping is caused, and the overall circuit is
cut off. A common circuit breaker cannot actively break a circuit when an earthquake occurs, an
electric wire is possibly damaged in the earthquake process, the circuit still supplies power at the moment, and an escaper or a rescuer is easily injured. According to the circuit breaker with the earthquake protection function, circuit breaking is actively achieved when an earthquake occurs, a power source is
cut off, and therefore casualties caused by electric leakage are avoided.
