[0004] Secondly, the existing insertable circuit breakers generally have two locking mechanisms, one is to prevent the circuit breaker from being closed when not installed in place, and the other is to prevent the circuit breaker from being inserted or pulled out of the cabinet in the closed state, both of which have complex structures and occupy a lot of internal space of the circuit breaker.

[0005] Thirdly, the existing insertable circuit breakers generally pull out the circuit breaker from the circuit breaker assembly position by pulling the button; when the user pulls the button to perform the opening operation, the circuit breaker may be directly pulled out of the circuit breaker assembly position due to inaccurate operation force, thereby affecting the stability and safety of power use of the user.

[0051] The following embodiments are given to further illustrate the specific embodiments of the circuit breaker of the present application. The circuit breaker of the present application is not limited to the description of the following embodiments. Figures 1-25

[0052] As shown in the drawings, the circuit breaker of the present application, especially a plug-in circuit breaker, comprises a circuit breaker shell 1 and a button mechanism 2 arranged inside the circuit breaker shell 1, an operating mechanism connected with the button mechanism 2, a movable contact 60 connected with the operating mechanism and a fixed contact 61 used in cooperation with the movable contact 60; operating the button mechanism 2 can drive the circuit breaker to open / close through the operating mechanism, so as to make the movable contact 60 and the fixed contact 61 close / open. Figure 1 Of course, according to the needs, as shown in the drawings, the circuit breaker of the present application can further comprise a short-circuit protection mechanism 7 and an overload protection mechanism and an arc extinguishing system 8 arranged inside the circuit breaker shell 1; the short-circuit protection mechanism 7 and the overload protection mechanism respectively drive the operating mechanism to act when the circuit breaker appears short-circuit and overload faults, so as to trip the circuit breaker, to realize the basic circuit protection function; the arc extinguishing system 8 is used to extinguish the arc generated when the movable contact 60 and the fixed contact 61 are disconnected, which is beneficial to improve the breaking performance of the circuit breaker and improve the safety of electricity use.

[0053] Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the circuit breaker shell 1 comprises a closing button hole 110 and an opening button hole 111 arranged thereon; the button mechanism 2 comprises a closing button 20 and an opening button 21 respectively slidingly arranged inside the circuit breaker shell 1, the closing button 20 comprises a closing button operating end arranged at one end thereof and slidingly arranged in the closing button hole 110, the opening button 21 comprises an opening button operating end arranged at one end thereof and slidingly arranged in the opening button hole 111; when the closing button operating end / opening button operating end is pressed to the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1 to drive the operating mechanism to close / open the circuit breaker, the corresponding opening button operating end / closing button operating end is moved to the outside of the circuit breaker shell 1 at the same time.

[0054] Further, as shown in the drawings, the circuit breaker shell 1 comprises a disconnection hole 112 and a puller operating hole 113 arranged thereon; the button mechanism 2 comprises a disconnection button 22 and a puller 30 respectively slidingly arranged inside the circuit breaker shell 1, the disconnection button 22 comprises a disconnection button operating end arranged at one end thereof and slidingly arranged in the disconnection hole 112, the puller 30 comprises a puller operating end arranged at one end thereof and slidingly arranged in the puller operating hole 113; when the disconnection button operating end is pressed to the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1 to drive the operating mechanism to disconnect the circuit breaker, the corresponding puller operating end is moved to the outside of the circuit breaker shell 1 at the same time. Figures 1-3

[0055] Figure 1 2 ​​​​​As shown, the operating mechanism includes a linkage mechanism, a transmission component 4 pivotally mounted within the circuit breaker housing 1, and a lever mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a closing linkage 30, a opening linkage 31, and a transmission linkage 32. The other end of the closing button 20 is driven and connected to the transmission component 4 via the closing linkage 30, and the other end of the opening button 21 is driven and connected to the transmission component 4 via the opening linkage 31. The transmission component 4 is driven and connected to the lever mechanism via the transmission linkage 32. The lever mechanism is connected to the moving contact 60 of the circuit breaker. Pressing the closing button 20 causes the circuit breaker to open / close. When the circuit breaker is closed, the closing button 20 drives the transmission component 4 to rotate in the first direction via the closing linkage 30. Simultaneously, the rotation of the transmission component 4 drives the opening button 21 to move outwards from the circuit breaker housing 1 via the opening linkage 31. When the circuit breaker is opened by pressing the opening button 21, the opening button 21 drives the transmission component 4 to rotate in the second direction via the opening linkage 31. Simultaneously, the rotation of the transmission component 4 drives the closing button 20 to move outwards from the circuit breaker housing 1 via the closing linkage 30. The first and second directions are opposite to each other. The transmission component 4 functions similarly to the handle of a traditional miniature circuit breaker. The closing button 20 and the opening button 21 are linked to the transmission component 4 via a linkage. The linkage mechanism can employ existing four-bar or multi-bar designs.

[0056] An improvement of the circuit breaker of the present invention is that the button mechanism 2 includes a closing button 20 and an opening button 21. The user can press the closing button 20 / opening button 21 respectively to drive the circuit breaker to close / open. Furthermore, the closing button 20 and the opening button 21 move in opposite directions; that is, when the closing button 20 / opening button 21 is pressed towards the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 to close / open the circuit breaker, the corresponding opening button 21 / closing button 20 simultaneously moves towards the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1. In other words, the user can observe the state of the closing button 20 and the opening button 21. The circuit breaker's state (closed or open) can be distinguished by its status. Firstly, compared to existing circuit breakers that use a push / pull button mechanism to achieve circuit breaker closing / opening, the circuit breaker of this invention achieves circuit breaker closing / opening by pressing a button, thus avoiding the situation where the circuit breaker is accidentally pulled out. Secondly, by observing the status of the closing button 20 and the opening button 21, the status of the circuit breaker can be determined, so there is no need to set up a separate closing / opening indicator device, which simplifies the structure of the circuit breaker and saves the internal space of the circuit breaker, and also contributes to the trend of miniaturization of circuit breakers.

[0057] Preferred, such as Figures 10-24 As shown, the circuit breaker of the present invention also includes a locking mechanism and an unlocking mechanism disposed inside the circuit breaker housing 1. Figures 10-18As shown, the locking mechanism includes a first locking member 1a protruding at one end outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and a locking member opening 17 on the circuit breaker housing 1 cooperating with the locking mechanism, and an assembly limiting hole on the assembly position shell of the circuit breaker assembly position, when the plug-in circuit breaker is assembled in place, the locking member opening 17 of the plug-in circuit breaker corresponds to the assembly limiting hole, when the plug-in circuit breaker is not installed in place, the locking member opening 17 of the plug-in circuit breaker is misaligned with the assembly limiting hole, and the assembly position shell will block the locking member opening 17, which is the prior art in the field, and will not be described here.

[0058] Another improvement of the present application is the structure of the locking cooperation, when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first locking member 1a protrudes at one end outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and is subjected to a retracting external force to retract into the circuit breaker housing 1, and the first locking member 1a is limited to cooperate with the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21, locking the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 to prevent the circuit breaker from closing; when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first locking member 1a protrudes at one end outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and is limited by the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 and cannot retract into the circuit breaker housing 1. When the first locking member 1a protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1, the first locking member 1a does not lock the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21, and at this time the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 can normally operate the opening and closing.

[0059] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figures 10-17 As shown, before the circuit breaker is installed into the circuit breaker assembly position, if the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first locking member 1a protrudes at one end outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and is limited by the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 and cannot retract into the circuit breaker housing 1, so that the circuit breaker cannot be inserted into the circuit breaker assembly position in the closed state;

[0060] When the circuit breaker is installed into the circuit breaker assembly position, the assembly position shell of the circuit breaker assembly position applies a retracting external force to the first locking member 1a during assembly, extruding the first locking member 1a to move it in the direction of the circuit breaker housing 1, retracting it into the circuit breaker housing 1, and making the first locking member 1a limited to cooperate with the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21, locking the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 to prevent the circuit breaker from closing, so that the circuit breaker cannot be closed during assembly, improving safety;

[0061] After the circuit breaker is assembled, the locking hole 17 corresponds to the assembly limiting hole. The assembly housing does not apply a retracting force to the first locking member 1a. The first locking member 1a protrudes out of the circuit breaker housing 1 again. The unlocking button mechanism 2 is activated and the first locking member 1a is engaged with the assembly housing, so that the circuit breaker can be normally closed and opened by the closing button 20 or the opening button 21. It is not allowed to be pulled out of the circuit breaker assembly position at will, so that the vibration during transportation will not cause the circuit breaker to fall out of the circuit breaker assembly position.

[0062] After the circuit breaker is assembled in place, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 prevent the first locking member 1a from moving inward toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, so that the circuit breaker cannot be pulled out from the assembly position when it is in the closed state.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figures 10-13 As shown in Figure 18, when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the operation unlocking mechanism can drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, retract into the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, release the limiting cooperation between the first locking member 1a and the assembly housing, and limit the cooperation between the first locking member 1a and the button mechanism 2.

[0064] The locking mechanism of the circuit breaker of the present invention, in cooperation with the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21, locks the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 when the circuit breaker is installed in the assembly position. This prevents the circuit breaker from being closed due to user misoperation / accidental contact during installation, thus ensuring user safety. Moreover, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 prevent the first locking member 1a from moving inward toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1. In other words, once the circuit breaker is closed, it cannot be installed in the assembly position or can not be arbitrarily pulled out of the assembly position. This ensures that the circuit breaker is installed in the open state or can be pulled out of the assembly position, thereby ensuring user safety.

[0065] It should be noted that the "locking / unlocking button mechanism 2" refers to the mechanism that, by engaging / releasing the limit engagement between the first locking member 1a and the button mechanism 2, it prevents / allows the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 to move in the designed direction (i.e., the closing direction or the opening direction).

[0066] The circuit breaker is assembled to the circuit breaker assembly position and after being assembled to the position, the first locking member 1a is in limited cooperation with the assembly position shell of the circuit breaker assembly position; the unlocking mechanism comprises a separate pulling member 2a which is in driving cooperation with the first locking member 1a, and when the circuit breaker is in the open state, pulling the pulling member 2a can drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, retract into the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, release the limited cooperation of the first locking member 1a with the assembly position shell, and the circuit breaker can be pulled out of the circuit breaker assembly position. Further, as shown in Figures 10-13 the unlocking mechanism further comprises a linkage member 3a which is in driving cooperation with the first locking member 1a at one end and in driving cooperation with the pulling member 2a at the other end, and pulling the pulling member 2a can drive the linkage member 3a to rotate, drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, retract into the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1 and release the limited cooperation with the assembly position shell. Compared with the existing circuit breaker which adopts the pulling button to release the limited cooperation with the assembly position shell, another improvement point of the present application is that the circuit breaker is separately provided with the pulling member 2a of the unlocking mechanism, and the button mechanism is not used to unlock the first locking member, so that the situation of mistakenly pulling out the circuit breaker due to pulling the button is avoided. Moreover, the unlocking mechanism of the present application, the pulling member 2a is in driving cooperation with the first locking member 1a through the linkage member 3a, so that the fault tolerance of the unlocking mechanism is improved, the structural precision requirement of the pulling member 2a, the linkage member 3a and the first locking member 1a is reduced, the production difficulty is reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

[0067] Preferably, as shown in Figures 21-24 the locking mechanism comprises a second locking member 1b which is pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker shell 1 and comprises a second locking end 13b; pressing the closing button 20 drives the operating mechanism to close the circuit breaker, at the same time, the opening button 21 is moved towards the outside of the circuit breaker shell 1, the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate, the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker shell 1, and the second locking member 1b is limited by the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 and cannot retract into the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1; pressing the opening button 21 drives the operating mechanism to open the circuit breaker, at the same time, the closing button 20 is moved towards the outside of the circuit breaker shell 1, the opening button 21 and / or the closing button 20 drives the second locking member 1b to reversely rotate, and the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker shell 1.

[0068] Further, as shown in Figure 22 and 24As shown, when the circuit breaker is closed, the opening button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate, so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker shell 1; when the circuit breaker is opened, the closing button 20 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate, so that the second locking end 13b is retracted into the circuit breaker shell 1. Of course, when the circuit breaker is closed, the second locking end 13b can also be driven by the closing button 20 to protrude outside the circuit breaker shell 1, and when the circuit breaker is opened, the second locking end 13b can be driven by the opening button 21 to retract into the circuit breaker shell 1. The circuit breaker of the present application further comprises a second locking member 1b, and the second locking end 13b of the second locking member 1b protrudes outside the circuit breaker shell 1 when the circuit breaker is closed, thereby avoiding the situation that the circuit breaker is installed into the circuit breaker assembly position in the closed state or pulled out of the circuit breaker assembly position in the closed state, and ensuring the electrical safety and personal safety of the user.

[0069] It should be noted that the first locking member 1a and the second locking member 1b of the locking mechanism of the present application have certain overlapping functions, and also have differences, and can exist simultaneously to improve the electrical safety of the circuit breaker. Of course, only the first locking member 1a or the second locking member 1b can also be provided.

[0099] Preferably, as Figures 10-13, 18, the circuit breaker further comprises an unlocking mechanism connected with the first locking member 1a; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, operating the unlocking mechanism can drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, retract into the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, and release the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell and the limiting cooperation with the button mechanism 2; when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 prevent the first locking member 1a from moving towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, ensuring that the closed state cannot be unlocked, and ensuring the safety of power use.

[0100] Further, as shown in Figures 10-13 , the unlocking mechanism comprises a separate pulling member 2a cooperating with the first locking member 1a; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, pulling the pulling member 2a can drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1, so that the first locking member 1a releases the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell. Further, as shown in Figures 10-13 , the unlocking mechanism further comprises a linkage member 3a and a lever support 4a arranged on the circuit breaker shell 1, one end of the linkage member 3a is connected with the first locking member 1a, the other end cooperates with the pulling member 2a, and the middle part cooperates with the lever support 4a; pulling the pulling member 2a can drive the linkage member 3a to rotate around the lever support 4a, and the linkage member 3a drives the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1 and release the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell. As another embodiment, the unlocking mechanism can also not be provided with the lever support 4a, but the linkage member 3a is rotatably installed in the circuit breaker shell 1 through the cooperation of a waist-shaped hole arranged on the linkage member 3a and a linkage member rotating shaft fixed on the circuit breaker shell 1, one end cooperates with the pulling member 2a, and the other end cooperates with the first locking member 1a; when the pulling member 2a is pulled, the linkage member 3a is driven to rotate, the other end of the linkage member 3a acts on the first locking member 1a, and the first locking member 1a retracts into the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1.

[0101] Compared with the existing circuit breaker which releases the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell by pulling the button, the circuit breaker of the present application has another improvement, that is, the circuit breaker is separately provided with the pulling member 2a of the unlocking mechanism, and the first locking member is not unlocked by the button mechanism, so that the situation of mistakenly pulling out the circuit breaker by pulling the button is avoided. It should be pointed out that the independent pulling member 2a of the present application is not only applicable to the scheme of the closing button 20 and the opening button 21 of the present application, but also can be used in the case of one button realizing the opening and closing operation.

[0102] It should be pointed out that as a transformed embodiment, the first locking member 1a can not be provided with the first locking member limiting table 14a, so that no matter whether the circuit breaker is closed or opened, pulling the pulling member 2a can drive the first locking member 1a to move towards the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1.

[0103] Preferably, as shown in Figure 17 , it is a first embodiment of the first locking member 1a.

Further, as shown in Figure 17 , the first locking member 1a further comprises a first locking member driven part 130a connected with the linkage 3a of the unlocking mechanism; the first locking member driven part 130a is provided with a first locking member connecting hole 13a in the middle, and one end of the linkage 3a is inserted into the first locking member connecting hole 13a; the first locking member driven part 130a is arranged on one side of the first locking member body 10a and between the first locking member body 10a and the lever support 4a. Further, as shown in the figure, the locking member spring limiting structure 15a is a spring limiting groove.

[0105] Preferably, as shown in Figure 16 , it is a second embodiment of the first locking member 1a.

[0106] As shown in Figure 16 , the difference between the first locking member 1a of the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the protruding first locking member driven part 130a is not arranged, but one end of the first locking member body 10a protrudes outside the circuit breaker shell 1, and the other end is provided with a first locking member connecting hole 13a as the first locking member driven part 130a. Further, as shown in Figure 17 , the locking member spring limiting structure 15 is a spring limiting boss. Obviously, the first locking member 1a can also be provided with other similar structures according to needs.

[0107] Preferably, as shown in Figure 10 , 11A , 11B and 18, it is a plurality of embodiments of the pulling member 2a.

[0108] The pulling member 2a comprises a pulling member operation part 20a, a pulling member first transition part 21a, and a pulling member driving part 24a, the pulling member operation part 20a is connected with the pulling member first transition part 21a vertically, and the pulling member driving part 24a is obliquely connected with the pulling member first transition part 21a; the pulling member operation part 20a is an operation part for being pulled by hands or tools, the pulling member first transition part 21a is a sliding support parallel to the moving direction of the pulling member 2a, and the pulling member driving part 24a is obliquely arranged for driving the linkage member 3a to retract the first locking member 1a into the circuit breaker housing 1. One embodiment is that the pulling member 2a only comprises the pulling member operation part 20a, the pulling member first transition part 21a, and the pulling member driving part 24a, at this time, the pulling member 2a forms a Z-shaped structure or a U-shaped structure, the Z-shaped structure occupies a relatively large space, and the U-shaped structure has poor sliding stability with the locking mechanism.

[0109] Further preferred embodiments are shown in Figure 11A The pulling member 2a further comprises a pulling member second transition part 22a connected between the pulling member first transition part 21a and the pulling member driving part 24a, the pulling member second transition part 22a is parallel to the pulling member operation part 20a and perpendicular to the pulling member first transition part 21a, the pulling member second transition part 22a and the pulling member operation part 20a are located on one side of the pulling member first transition part 21a to form a U-shaped structure, the space occupied by the pulling member 2a is reduced by bending, the pulling member second transition part 22a can be used to pull out the circuit breaker and limit the position of the pulling member 2a, and the pulling member driving part 24a is obliquely bent away from the pulling member operation part 20a and close to the pulling member first transition part 21a.

[0110] Further preferred embodiments are shown in Figure 11B The pulling member 2a further comprises a pulling member third transition part 23a arranged between the pulling member second transition part 22a and the pulling member driving part 24a, the pulling member third transition part 23a is arranged parallel to the pulling member first transition part 21a, for balancing the sliding of the pulling member 2a and adjusting the position of the pulling member driving part 24a; and / or a pulling member retaining part 25a connected with the pulling member driving part 24a, the pulling member retaining part 25a is parallel to the pulling member first transition part 21a, after the oblique pulling member driving part 24a gradually drives the linkage member 3a to retract the first locking member 1a into the circuit breaker housing 1, the pulling member retaining part 25a keeps the linkage member 3a and the first locking member 1a in the retracted position.

[0111] As Figure 18The preferred embodiment of the pulling piece 2a shown comprises a pulling piece operation part 20a, a pulling piece first transition part 21a, a pulling piece second transition part 22a, a pulling piece third transition part 23a, a pulling piece driving part 24a and a pulling piece holding part 25a connected in sequence; the pulling piece operation part 20a and the pulling piece second transition part 22a are arranged in parallel, the pulling piece first transition part 21a, the pulling piece third transition part 23a and the pulling piece holding part 25a are arranged in parallel and perpendicularly to the pulling piece operation part 20a, the pulling piece driving part 24a is arranged obliquely, one end connected to the pulling piece third transition part 23a by bending is the driving part first end, one end connected to the pulling piece holding part 25a by bending is the driving part second end, and the driving part first end is away from the driving part second end relative to the first locking piece 1a. Further, the pulling piece 2a is integrally formed by stamping and bending from a metal material.

[0112] Preferably, as shown in Figures 10-13 The circuit breaker housing 1 further comprises a pulling piece limiting rib 6a arranged between the pulling piece operation part 20a and the pulling piece second transition part 22a; after the pulling of the pulling piece 2a drives the first locking piece 1a to retract inside the circuit breaker housing 1 and release the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell, the pulling of the pulling piece 2a is continued to make it limit cooperate with the pulling piece limiting rib 6a, and the circuit breaker is pulled out from the circuit breaker assembly position.

[0113] Specifically, as shown in the directions of Figure 10 , 11A and 11B, the right end of the first locking piece 1a protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1, the left end is connected to the right end of the linkage 3a and connected to the circuit breaker housing 1 through the first reset spring 5a, the middle part of the linkage 3a is in contact with the lever support 4a arranged above the first locking piece 1a, the left end of the linkage 3a is drivingly cooperated with the pulling piece driving part 24a, and the upper end and the lower end of the pulling piece driving part 24a are the driving part first end and the driving part second end respectively; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the pulling piece 2a is pulled upward until the pulling piece driving part 24a contacts the left end of the linkage 3a (as shown in Figure 12 , and as shown in Figure 13 , the pulling of the pulling piece 2a is continued to drive the linkage 3a to rotate clockwise with the lever support 4a as the fulcrum, then the right end of the linkage 3a drives the first locking piece 1a to move to the left side, and the right end of the first locking piece 1a is completely retracted into the circuit breaker housing 1 and limit cooperates with the button mechanism 2, thereby releasing the limiting cooperation between the first locking piece 1a and the assembly position shell, and the pulling piece holding part 25a limit cooperates with the left end of the linkage 3a, so that the first locking piece 1a is kept inside the circuit breaker housing 1.

[0114] Preferably, as shown in Figure 11AAs shown, the pull-out member 2a is made of a metallic magnetic material. The unlocking mechanism also includes a pull-out member retaining magnet disposed inside the circuit breaker housing 1 and cooperating with the pull-out member operating part 20a. The retaining magnet is installed in a groove 105 on the circuit breaker housing 1 and magnetically engages with the pull-out member operating part 20a. The pull-out member retaining magnet can reliably hold the pull-out member operating part 20a inside the circuit breaker housing. When the pull-out member 2a is not operated, it ensures the clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the circuit breaker and prevents the pull-out member 2a from unintentionally protruding from the circuit breaker housing 1, which could lead to misoperation or damage to the pull-out member 2a. Furthermore, when the pull-out member 2a is pulled out to the correct position, the second transition part 22a of the pull-out member can also magnetically engage with the pull-out member retaining magnet, keeping the pull-out member in the pulled-out position outside the circuit breaker housing 1.

[0115] It should be noted that the "magnetic attraction" refers to the fact that the operating part 20a of the drawing member is attracted by the holding magnet of the drawing member. The fact that the drawing member 2a is made of a metallic magnetic material means that it can be magnetically attracted by the holding magnet of the drawing member, and it does not necessarily have to be a magnet.

[0116] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , 19 As shown in Figures 20 and 25, the circuit breaker housing 1 also includes a line outlet hole 112 and a pull-out component operation hole 113. The line outlet hole 112, the pull-out component operation hole 113, the closing button hole 110, and the opening button hole 111 are located on the same side wall of the circuit breaker housing 1. The circuit breaker housing 1 also includes a pull-out component slot 16. The pull-out component operation part 20a of the pull-out component 2a is disposed in the pull-out component operation hole 113, so that the pull-out component 2a does not protrude outside the circuit breaker housing 1 when it is not pulled outward. The pull-out component slot 16 communicates with the pull-out component operation hole 113, and the pull-out operation is performed through the pull-out component slot 16.

[0117] Further, preferably, the pulling member notch 16 is arranged between the outgoing line hole 112 and the pulling member operation hole 113 and is shielded by the outgoing line, and the pulling member notch 16 is in communication with the outgoing line hole 112 and the pulling member operation hole 113 at both ends, respectively, and the pulling member operation part 20a can be pulled out of the pulling member operation hole 113 at the pulling member notch 16 only when the outgoing line is removed; or, as another preferred solution, the pulling member notch 16 is arranged between the disconnecting button hole 111 and the pulling member operation hole 113, and the disconnecting button 21 shields the pulling member notch 16 when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, and the disconnecting button 21 moves to the inside of the circuit breaker shell 1 when the circuit breaker is in the open state, and the pulling member notch 16 is opened, so that the pulling member operation part 20a can be pulled out of the pulling member operation hole 113 at the pulling member notch 16. When the outgoing line is removed, the pulling member can be pulled out only when the circuit breaker is in the open state, and the above structure ensures that only when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the unlocking mechanism can unlock the first locking member 1a and the limiting fit of the assembly position shell, so as to avoid the situation that the pulling member 2a is pulled when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, which causes the pulling member 2a to be damaged or the circuit breaker to be pulled out under the live condition, thereby ensuring the safety of the user in use.

[0118] Preferably, as shown in another embodiment of the pulling member, Figure 11B the pulling member 2a further comprises a pulling member spring limiting part 26a, which is arranged in parallel with the pulling member operation part 20a and is located at both ends of the pulling member 2a, respectively; and the unlocking mechanism further comprises a pulling member reset spring 7a arranged between the pulling member spring limiting part 26a and the pulling member limiting rib 6a. The pulling member reset spring 7a can reliably hold the pulling member holding part 20a of the pulling member 2a in the circuit breaker shell. The pulling member spring limiting part 26a is bent to be connected with the pulling member holding part 25a, or is directly bent to be connected with the pulling member driving part 24a.

[0119] Further, as shown in Figures 10-13As shown, the pulling member 2a is arranged in the thickness direction of the circuit breaker and stacked with the closing button 20 and the opening button 21 to save space. The moving direction of the pulling member 2a is parallel to the moving direction of the closing button 20 and the opening button 21 and perpendicular to the moving direction of the first locking member 1a which moves in the width direction of the circuit breaker. The first transition part 21a of the pulling member 2a moves against the side wall of the locking member opening 17 of the circuit breaker shell 1, is limited between the pulling member limiting rib 6a and the lever support 4a in the moving direction and is limited by the one end of the pulling member limiting rib 6a and the circuit breaker shell 1 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction. The first transition part 21a and the first locking member 1a are arranged on both sides of the lever support 4a respectively, and the linkage member 3a is located between the first locking member 1a and the lever support 4a. The pulling member 2a, the linkage member 3a and the first locking member 1a are all arranged in the thickness direction of the circuit breaker and stacked above the closing button 20 and the opening button 21, and the first locking member limiting platform 14a of the first locking member 1a protrudes into the closing button avoiding slot 206 of the closing button 20.

[0120] Preferably, the linkage member 3a is a Z or U shaped pulling rod, one end of which is inserted into the first locking member 1a and the other end extends to the sliding position of the pulling member driving part 24a of the pulling member 2a. The linkage member 3a drives the first locking member 1a to retract into the circuit breaker shell 1 by taking the lever support 4a as the rotating support, and the installation structure is relatively simple. The lever support 4a simultaneously plays the role of limiting the first locking member 1a and supporting the linkage member 3a.

[0121] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figures 21-24 The locking mechanism further comprises a second locking member 1b.

[0122] As shown in the drawings, Figures 21-24 The second locking member 1b is pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker shell 1 and comprises a second locking end 13b. When the circuit breaker is closed, the closing button 20 or the opening button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate (in the second direction) so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker shell 1. When the circuit breaker is opened, the opening button 21 or the closing button 20 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate (in the first direction) so that the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker shell 1.

[0123] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figures 22-24 The closing button 20 comprises a closing button driving part 207 which is driven by the second locking member 1b, and the opening button 21 comprises an opening button driving part 217 which is driven by the second locking member 1b, as shown in the drawings, Figure 24As shown, when the circuit breaker is closed, the second locking member 1b is rotated by the tripping button 21 through the tripping button driving part 217, so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and the second locking end 13b is prevented from retracting into the circuit breaker housing 1 by the tripping button driving part 217. Figure 22 As shown, when the circuit breaker is opened, the second locking member 1b is rotated by the closing button 20 through the closing button driving part 207, so that the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker housing 1, and the second locking end 13b is limited by the closing button driving part 207 to remain inside the circuit breaker housing 1. Specifically, as shown in the direction of the arrow, when the circuit breaker is closed, the tripping button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate counterclockwise (in the second direction), so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1. Figure 24 As shown, when the circuit breaker is opened, the second locking member 1b is rotated by the closing button 20 through the closing button driving part 207, so that the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker housing 1, and the second locking end 13b is limited by the closing button driving part 207 to remain inside the circuit breaker housing 1. Specifically, as shown in the direction of the arrow, when the circuit breaker is closed, the tripping button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate counterclockwise (in the second direction), so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1. Figure 22 As shown, when the circuit breaker is opened, the second locking member 1b is rotated by the closing button 20 through the closing button driving part 207, so that the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker housing 1, and the second locking end 13b is limited by the closing button driving part 207 to remain inside the circuit breaker housing 1. Specifically, as shown in the direction of the arrow, when the circuit breaker is closed, the tripping button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate counterclockwise (in the second direction), so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1.

[0124] Preferably, as shown in the direction of the arrow, when the circuit breaker is closed, the tripping button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate counterclockwise (in the second direction), so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1. Figures 22-24 As shown, the second locking member 1b includes a second locking member mounting part 10b pivotally connected to the circuit breaker housing 1, a first driven part 11b for driving cooperation with the tripping button 21, a second driven part 12b for driving cooperation with the closing button 20, and a second locking end 13b. When the circuit breaker is closed, the tripping button 21 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate through the first driven part 11b, so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1. When the circuit breaker is opened, the closing button 20 drives the second locking member 1b to rotate through the second driven part 12b, so that the second locking end 13b retracts into the circuit breaker housing 1. In this embodiment, the first driven part 11b and the second locking end 13b are two cooperating end parts. As another embodiment, the second locking end 13b and the second locking end 13b can also be the same cooperating end part. Figure 22 and 24As shown, the first locking part 11b includes a locking first driven protrusion 110b protruding to the side of the opening button 21, the second locking part 12b includes a locking second driven protrusion 120b protruding to the side of the closing button 20, the locking first driven protrusion 110b and the locking second driven protrusion 120b are located on the same side of the second locking part 1b, when the circuit breaker is closing, the side of the opening button driving part 217 drives the second locking part 1b to rotate through the locking first driven protrusion 110b, so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1; when the circuit breaker is opening, the side of the closing button driving part 207 drives the second locking part 1b to rotate through the locking second driven protrusion 120b, so that the second locking end 13b is retracted into the circuit breaker housing 1.

[0125] Further, as shown in the figure, Figures 22-24 The closing button driving part 207 includes a closing button driving slope 2070 matched with the locking second driven protrusion 120b, the opening button driving part 217 includes an opening button driving slope 21700 matched with the locking first driven protrusion 110b, the inclination directions of the closing button driving slope 2070 and the opening button driving slope 21700 are opposite, the locking first driven protrusion 110b and the locking second driven protrusion 120b are located between the opening button driving slope 21700 and the closing button driving slope 2070;

[0126] When the circuit breaker is closing by pressing the closing button 20, the closing button driving slope 2070 moves to avoid the second locking part 1b in the direction of the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, at the same time, the opening button driving slope 21700 moves in the direction of the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1, the opening button driving slope 21700 drives the second locking part 1b to rotate through the locking first driven protrusion 110b, so that the second locking end 13b protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and the opening button driving slope 21700 stops the locking first driven protrusion 110b, so that the second locking part 1b cannot retract into the circuit breaker housing 1;

[0127] When the circuit breaker is opening by pressing the opening button 21, the opening button driving slope 21700 moves to avoid the second locking part 1b in the direction of the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, at the same time, the closing button driving slope 2070 moves in the direction of the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1, the closing button driving slope 2070 drives the second locking end 13b to retract into the circuit breaker housing 1 through the locking second driven protrusion 120b, and the closing button driving slope 2070 limits the second locking part 1b to keep inside the circuit breaker housing 1. Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 22 and 23As shown, the closing button driving slope 2070 is formed by a closing button driving protrusion provided on the closing button 20, and the opening button driving slope 21700 is formed by an opening button driving groove provided on the opening button 21, and the closing button driving slope 2070 and the opening button driving slope 21700 form a funnel structure when the circuit breaker is in the open state.

[0128] Preferably, as shown in Figures 22-24 As shown, the opening button driving part 217 includes an opening button driving part first step 2170 provided on one side of the opening button 21 and an opening button driving part second step 2171 provided on the side of the opening button driving part first step 2170 away from the opening button 21, and the opening button driving part first step 2170 is in a triangular structure as a whole, and the opening button driving part second step 2171 is provided at one of the vertices of the triangular structure close to the closing button 20.
