The application discloses a spring operating mechanism and method for a
circuit breaker, and belongs to the technical field of circuit breakers, which comprises a clamp plate type frame, an
energy storage to position
clutch, a closing holding and a manual closing soft
interlocking device, the clamp plate type frame is fixedly connected by opposite first and second side plates through a supporting piece; an
energy storage motor of an
energy storage transmission device is connected with an energy storage shaft through a transmission
assembly, a
cam is arranged on the shaft, and an energy storage holding buckle is arranged; the energy storage to position
clutch device is a one-way
clutch assembly connecting the transmission
assembly and the energy storage shaft; the closing holding device comprises a hinged opening release assembly, a reset elastic piece and a linked output shaft; the manual closing soft
interlocking device comprises a sliding manual operating assembly, a closing trigger piece and an
interlocking assembly, and is matched with the energy storage holding buckle; the problems of the existing spring operating mechanism for the
circuit breaker, such as the reliability, structure, cost or precision related defects of the energy storage clutch device, the manual closing mechanical interlocking, the closing holding structure and the modular mechanism cooperation are solved.
