[0054] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the button mechanism 2 includes a first button 20 and a second button 21 respectively slidably arranged in the circuit breaker housing 1, the operating mechanism includes a connecting rod mechanism, a transmission member 4 pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker housing 1, and a lever mechanism, the connecting rod mechanism includes a connecting rod structure 33 and a transmission connecting rod 32, the connecting rod structure 33 includes a first connecting rod 30 and a second connecting rod 31, the first button 20 is driven and connected to the transmission member 4 through the first connecting rod 30, the second button 21 is driven and connected to the transmission member 4 through the second connecting rod 31, the transmission member 4 is driven and connected to the lever mechanism through the transmission connecting rod 32, and the lever mechanism is driven and connected to the moving contact 60; when the first button 20 / the second button 21 is pressed toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 to close / open the circuit breaker, the first button 20 / the second button 21 drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the first direction / the second direction through the first connecting rod 30 / the second connecting rod 31, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction. The circuit breaker of the present invention includes a first button 20 and a second button 21, which correspond to the closing operation and the opening operation of the circuit breaker, respectively.

The connecting rod structure 33 includes a first connecting rod 30 and a second connecting rod 31. The first button 20 is driven and connected to the transmission member 4 via the first connecting rod 30, and the second button 21 is driven and connected to the transmission member 4 via the second connecting rod 31. When the first button 20 is pressed toward the interior of the circuit breaker housing 1 to close the circuit breaker, the first button 20 drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the first direction, while the second button 21 moves toward the exterior of the circuit breaker. When the second button 21 is pressed toward the interior of the circuit breaker housing 1 to open the circuit breaker, the second button 21 drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the second direction via the second connecting rod 31, while the first button 20 moves toward the exterior of the circuit breaker.

[0064] The following is the basic process of normal closing operation, normal opening operation and fault opening of the circuit breaker of the present invention:

[0065] like Figure 10A As shown, the circuit breaker is in the open state. When the closing operation is performed, the first button 20 is pressed downward. The first button 20 drives the transmission member 4 to rotate clockwise through the first connecting rod 30. The transmission member 4 drives the lever mechanism to rotate clockwise as a whole through the transmission connecting rod 32. The lever mechanism drives the moving contact 60 to swing clockwise, so that the moving contact 60 and the static contact 61 are closed, and the circuit breaker is closed (as shown in FIG. Figure 10B As shown), the second button 21 moves toward the outside of the circuit breaker; Figure 10B As shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state. When the opening operation is performed, the second button 21 is pressed downward. The second button 21 drives the transmission member 4 to rotate counterclockwise through the second connecting rod 31. The transmission member 4 drives the tripping buckle 50 and the lock buckle 51 to release the lock engagement through the transmission connecting rod 32. The rotating plate 52 drives the moving contact 60 to swing counterclockwise, disconnecting the moving contact 60 from the static contact 61, and the circuit breaker is opened (as shown in FIG. Figure 10A As shown), the first button 20 moves toward the outside of the circuit breaker.

[0066] When a short circuit or overload fault occurs in the circuit breaker, the short circuit protection mechanism 7 or the overload protection mechanism 9 drives the lock 51 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the lock 51 and the tripping buckle 50 are released from the lock, and the rotating plate 52 drives the moving contact 60 to swing counterclockwise, so that the moving contact 60 and the static contact 61 are disconnected, and the circuit breaker is opened (such as Figure 10A shown).

[0067] Preferably, Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows an implementation of the transmission member 4 .

[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, the transmission member 4 includes a transmission member shaft hole 400 provided in the middle thereof and a first connection hole 40, a second connection hole 41, and a third connection hole 42 provided around the transmission member shaft hole 400; the first connection hole 40, the second connection hole 41, and the third connection hole 42 are respectively located at the three vertices of a triangle, the second connection hole 41 is provided at one end of the transmission member 4, and the first connection hole 40 and the third connection hole 42 are provided at the other end of the transmission member 4. Specifically, as Figure 6 In the direction shown, the transmission member shaft hole 400 is set in the middle of the transmission member 4, the second connecting hole 41 is set at the left end of the transmission member 4 and is located on the left side of the transmission member shaft hole 400, and the first connecting hole 40 and the third connecting hole 42 are set at the right end of the transmission member 4 and both are located on the right side of the transmission member shaft hole 400.

[0069] Preferably, Figures 13A-13B As shown, the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes a first locking member 1a having one end protruding from the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1; the circuit breaker housing 1 includes a locking member opening that cooperates with the first locking member 1a, and a first return spring 5a drives one end of the first locking member 1a to extend through the locking member opening to the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1. When the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first locking member 1a is subjected to an external retraction force and can be retracted into the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1. After the first locking member 1a is retracted, it can cooperate with the first button 20 and / or the second button 21 to prevent the circuit breaker from performing a closing operation. When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first locking member 1a protrudes from the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1 and is limited by the closing button 20 and / or the opening button 21 and cannot be retracted into the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1. For example, when the circuit breaker is installed in the circuit breaker assembly position in the open state, the assembly position shell of the circuit breaker assembly position squeezes the first locking piece 1a to move it toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 (the assembly position shell applies a retracting external force to the first locking piece 1a), so that the first locking piece 1a is limitedly engaged with the first button 20 and / or the second button 21, locking the first button 20 and / or the second button 21. After the circuit breaker is assembled in place, the locking piece opening corresponds to the assembly limit hole of the assembly position shell, and the first locking piece 1a protrudes out of the circuit breaker housing 1 again and releases the limited engagement with the first button 20 and / or the second button 21, unlocking the first button 20 and / or the second button 21 and the first locking piece 1a is limitedly engaged with the assembly position shell, so that the circuit breaker can perform normal closing and opening operations through the first button 20 and / or the second button 21, and is not allowed to be pulled out of the assembly position at will.

[0070] Further, such as Figures 13A-13BAs shown, the circuit breaker also includes an unlocking mechanism, which includes an independent pulling member 2a arranged in the circuit breaker housing 1 and driven by the first locking member 1a; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the pulling member 2a is pulled toward the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1, and the pulling member 2a drives the first locking member 1a to overcome the elastic force of the first reset spring 5a and move toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, retract into the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, release the limiting cooperation with the assembly position shell and limit the cooperation with the first button 20 and / or the second button 21. At this time, further pulling the pulling member 2a can pull the circuit breaker out of the circuit breaker assembly position; when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first button 20 and / or the second button 21 prevent the first locking member 1a from moving toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, and at this time, the unlocking mechanism cannot be retracted into the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 through the unlocking mechanism. Further, as Figures 13A-13B As shown, the unlocking mechanism also includes a linkage member 3a and a lever support 4a provided on the circuit breaker housing 1. One end of the linkage member 3a is connected to the first locking member 1a by driving, and the other end is driven and matched with the pulling member 2a by driving, and the middle part is in contact with the lever support 4a. When the pulling member 2a is pulled toward the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1, the pulling member 2a drives the linkage member 3a to rotate with the lever support 4a as the fulcrum. The linkage member 3a drives the first locking member 1a to move toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 and release the limited fit with the assembly housing. Further, as Figure 13A As shown, the puller 2a is stacked on one side of the button mechanism 2 in the thickness direction of the circuit breaker housing 1, which is beneficial to improving the compactness of the circuit breaker structure. Figure 13A and 13B As shown, the moving direction of the pulling member 2 is parallel to the moving directions of the first button 20 and the second button 21 , and perpendicular to the moving direction of the first locking member 1 a .

[0071] Preferably, a locking member limiting groove is provided on the first button 20 and / or the second button 21, and a locking member limiting boss is provided on the first locking member 1a. When the circuit breaker is closed, the movement of the first button 20 and the second button 21 causes the locking member limiting groove and the locking member limiting boss to be misaligned, and the locking member limiting boss cannot slide into the locking member limiting groove. When the circuit breaker is opened, the movement of the first button 20 and the second button 21 causes the locking member limiting groove and the locking member limiting boss to be arranged relative to each other. Pulling the pulling member 2 can drive the first locking member 1a to move toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1, so that the locking member limiting boss slides into the locking member limiting groove. The first locking member 1a locks the first button 20 and / or the second button 21, and the circuit breaker cannot be closed.

[0072] like Figure 1-8B FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a circuit breaker according to the present invention.

[0073] like Figure 1 、 7AAs shown in FIG-8B , the button mechanism 2 of the circuit breaker of this embodiment includes a first button 20 and a second button 21; the electric mechanism 2c includes a drive motor 20c, a transmission gear set and a transmission rack 26c. The drive motor 20c is driven by the transmission rack 26c through the transmission gear set, and the transmission rack 26c is driven by the first button 20. Figure 4 As shown, the first button 20 includes a rack limiting groove 2030 arranged on one side thereof, the transmission rack 26c is arranged in the rack limiting groove 2030, and the rack limiting groove 2030 includes a closing side 2032 and an opening side 2031 respectively arranged at both ends thereof; the driving motor 20c drives the transmission rack 26c to slide in the rack limiting groove 2030, and drives the first button 20 through the closing side 2032 and the opening side 2031 to close / open the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is closed, the transmission rack 26c moves from the first initial position toward the closing side surface 2032 until it contacts the closing side surface 2032, and the transmission rack 26c continues to move and drives the first button 20 to move toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 through the closing side surface 2032. After the circuit breaker is closed, the transmission rack 26c returns to the first initial position. When the circuit breaker is opened, the transmission rack 26c moves toward the opening side surface 2031 until it contacts the opening side surface 2031, and the transmission rack 26c continues to move and drives the first button 20 to move toward the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1 through the opening side surface 2031. After the circuit breaker is opened, the transmission rack 26c returns to the first initial position. In the circuit breaker of the present invention, the electric mechanism 2c achieves closing / opening operations through the cooperation of the transmission rack 26c and the button mechanism. After the electric mechanism 2c completes the closing / opening operation, it continues to drive the transmission rack 26c to return to the first initial position, thereby preventing interference with the first button 20. Firstly, the user can still manually close / open the circuit breaker. Secondly, when a short circuit or overload fault occurs in the circuit breaker, causing the circuit breaker to trip, the transmission rack 26c will not affect the operation of the operating mechanism, thereby ensuring the protective performance of the circuit breaker. It should be noted that the transmission rack 26c is not limited to cooperating with the first button 20. The transmission rack 26c can also cooperate with the second button 21. In this case, the rack limit slot 2030 is provided on the side of the second button 21. When the circuit breaker is closed / opened, the movement direction of the transmission rack 26c is opposite to that of the transmission rack 26c in the first embodiment.

[0075] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the upper side wall of the circuit breaker housing 1 is used as the operation interface; Figures 7A-8BAs shown, the first button 20 moves toward the operation interface, that is, the first button 20 moves toward the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1, and moves away from the operation interface, that is, the first button 20 moves toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1; specifically, as shown Figure 8B As shown, at this time, the circuit breaker is in the open state, the transmission rack 26c is in the first initial position, and the drive motor 20c drives the transmission rack 26c to move rightward through the transmission gear set until it contacts the closing side 2032 of the rack limit groove 2030. The transmission rack 26c is driven to continue to move rightward and drives the first button 20 to move rightward through the closing side 2032, as shown. Figure 7A As shown, the circuit breaker is closed, and the transmission rack 26c is driven to move leftward to the first initial position (as shown in FIG. Figure 7B as shown); Figure 7B As shown, at this time, the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the transmission rack 26c is in the first initial position, and the drive motor 20c drives the transmission rack 26c to move leftward through the transmission gear set until it contacts the opening side 2032 of the rack limit groove 2030, as shown in FIG. Figure 8A As shown, the transmission rack 26c is driven to continue to move to the left and drives the first button 20 to move to the left through the opening side 2032, as shown in FIG. Figure 8B As shown, the circuit breaker is opened, and the transmission rack 26c is driven to move rightward to the first initial position.

[0081] Preferably, Figure 4 FIG. 1 shows an implementation of the first button 20 .

[0082] The first button 20 includes a first button operating part 202, a first button transmission part 203 and a second button track bar 205.

[0083] Preferably, Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows an implementation of the second button 21 .

[0085] Preferably, the first button 20 and the second button 21 are respectively located in the first button hole and the second button hole during the opening and closing operations, and do not protrude from the circuit breaker housing 1 to avoid accidental touching.

[0086] like Figure 9 FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0087] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the button mechanism 2 includes only the first button 20, and one end of the first button 20 is protrudingly arranged outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and the opening and closing operations are realized by pressing and pulling respectively; the connecting rod structure 33 includes only the first connecting rod 30, and the first button 20 is driven and connected to the transmission member 4 via the first connecting rod 30.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 9 In the direction shown, the upper end of the first button 20 protrudes outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and the lower end is drivingly connected to the transmission member 4 through the first connecting rod 30. The electric mechanism 2c cooperates with the first button 20 through the transmission rack 26c to realize the opening and closing operations.

[0089] like Figure 10A and 10B FIG. 1 shows a third embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0090] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the first button 20 is fixedly connected to the transmission rack 26c, or the first button 20 and the transmission rack 26c are integrally formed, and the transmission gear set includes a first sector gear 251c that is driven and matched with the transmission rack 26c; when the circuit breaker is closed, the first sector gear 251c rotates in the first direction and drives the first button 20 to move toward the inside of the circuit breaker housing 1 through the transmission rack 26c, the circuit breaker is closed and the first sector gear 251c rotates until it is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c; when the circuit breaker is opened, the first sector gear 251c rotates in the second direction and drives the first button 20 to move toward the outside of the circuit breaker housing 1 through the transmission rack 26c, the circuit breaker is opened and the first sector gear 251c rotates until it is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c. In the circuit breaker of the present invention, the first sector gear 250c drives the operating mechanism through the transmission rack 26c, so that after the circuit breaker completes the closing / opening operation, the first sector gear 251c rotates to disengage from the transmission rack 26c, thereby not interfering with the first button 20. On the one hand, the user can still manually open / close the circuit breaker. On the other hand, when a short circuit or overload fault occurs in the circuit breaker, causing the circuit breaker to trip, the first sector gear 251c will not affect the operation of the operating mechanism, thereby ensuring the protection performance of the circuit breaker.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figure 10A As shown, the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first sector gear 251c is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c, the drive motor 20c drives the first sector gear 251c to rotate clockwise, the first sector gear 251c rotates until it is engaged with the transmission rack 26c and continues to rotate, and the first button 20 is driven downward by the transmission rack 26c, as shown in FIG. Figure 10BAs shown, after the circuit breaker is closed, the first sector gear 251c continues to rotate until it is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c; Figure 10B As shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first sector gear 251c is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c, the drive motor 20c drives the first sector gear 251c to rotate counterclockwise, the first sector gear 251c rotates until it is engaged with the transmission rack 26c and continues to rotate, and the first button 20 is driven to move upward through the transmission rack 26c, as shown in FIG. Figure 10A As shown, after the circuit breaker is opened, the first sector gear 251c continues to rotate until it is disengaged from the transmission rack 26c.

[0092] Preferably, Figure 10A As shown, the transmission gear set of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the driving gear 25c includes a first sector gear 251c and a fourth transmission gear 250c that are coaxially linked, and the fourth transmission gear 250c is meshed with the third transmission gear 24c.

[0093] like Figure 11A and 11B FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0094] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the motorized mechanism 2c electrically opens and closes the circuit breaker by driving the transmission member 4 of the operating mechanism, enabling remote control. The motorized mechanism 2c includes a motor 20c, a transmission gear set, and a transmission gear 27c coaxially arranged with the transmission member 4. The transmission gear set includes an opening and closing drive gear that cooperates with the transmission gear 27c. The opening and closing drive gear rotates the transmission gear 27c, which in turn rotates the transmission member 4, closing and opening the circuit breaker.

[0095] Preferably, the transmission member 4 and the transmission member gear 27c are coaxially linked, and the opening and closing driving gear is the first sector gear 251c; when the circuit breaker is closed, the first sector gear 251c rotates in the second direction until it meshes with the transmission member gear 27c and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate in the first direction, and the transmission member gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the first direction, the circuit breaker is closed and the first sector gear 251c rotates to disengage from the transmission member gear 27c; when the circuit breaker is opened, the first sector gear 251c rotates in the first direction until it meshes with the transmission member gear 27c and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate in the second direction, and the transmission member gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the second direction, the circuit breaker is opened and the first sector gear 251c rotates to disengage from the transmission member gear 27c. In the circuit breaker of the present invention, the first sector gear 251c drives the operating mechanism through the transmission gear 27c, so that after the circuit breaker completes the closing / opening operation, the first sector gear 251c rotates to disengage from the transmission gear 27c, thereby not interfering with the transmission gear 27c (and the transmission member 4 linked to the transmission gear 27c). On the one hand, the user can still manually open / close the circuit breaker. On the other hand, when a short circuit or overload fault occurs in the circuit breaker, causing the circuit breaker to trip, the first sector gear 251c will not affect the operation of the operating mechanism, thereby ensuring the protection performance of the circuit breaker. Further, as Figure 11A and 11B As shown, the transmission gear 27c is a sector gear.

[0096] Specifically, such as Figure 11A As shown, the circuit breaker is in the open state, and the first sector gear 251c is disengaged from the transmission gear 27c. When the circuit breaker is closed, the drive motor 20c drives the first sector gear 251c to rotate counterclockwise until it engages with the transmission gear 27c. The first sector gear 251c is driven to continue to rotate and drives the transmission gear 27c to rotate clockwise. The transmission gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate clockwise, as shown in FIG. Figure 11B As shown, the circuit breaker is closed, and the first sector gear 251c is driven to continue rotating until it is disengaged from the transmission gear 27c; Figure 11B As shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state, and the first sector gear 251c is disengaged from the transmission gear 27c. When the circuit breaker is opened, the drive motor 20c drives the first sector gear 251c to rotate clockwise until it meshes with the transmission gear 27c. The first sector gear 251c is driven to continue to rotate and drives the transmission gear 27c to rotate counterclockwise. The transmission gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate counterclockwise, as shown in FIG. Figure 11A As shown, the circuit breaker is opened, and the first sector gear 251 is driven to continue rotating until it is disengaged from the transmission gear 27c.

[0097] Preferably, the transmission gear set of this embodiment is the same as that of the third embodiment, except that the positional relationship and size of the gears are different, and the number of gears can also be adjusted.

[0098] like Figures 15A-15C FIG. 1 shows a fifth embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0099] The difference between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment is that the transmission member gear 27c and the transmission member 4 are coaxially arranged with an idle stroke between them.

[0100] When the circuit breaker is closed, the opening and closing drive gear rotates in the second direction and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate from the second initial position to the first direction until it is limited and engaged with the transmission member 4. The transmission member gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the first direction. The circuit breaker is closed and the opening and closing drive gear rotates in the first direction, driving the transmission member gear 27c to rotate back to the second initial position. When the circuit breaker is opened, the opening and closing drive gear rotates in the first direction and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate from the second initial position to the second direction until it is limited and engaged with the transmission member 4. The transmission member gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the second direction. The circuit breaker is opened and the opening and closing drive gear rotates in the second direction, driving the transmission member gear 27c to rotate back to the second initial position. Further, the opening and closing drive gear is a first sector gear 251c or a full gear.

[0101] Specifically, as described Figure 15A As shown, the circuit breaker is in the open state. When the circuit breaker is closed, the drive motor 20c drives the opening and closing drive gear to rotate counterclockwise, and the opening and closing drive gear drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate clockwise from the second initial position to the limited position with the transmission member 4. The transmission member gear 27c continues to rotate and drives the transmission member 4 to rotate clockwise. Figure 15B As shown, the circuit breaker is closed. Figure 15C As shown, the opening and closing drive gear is driven to rotate clockwise and drives the transmission gear 27c to rotate counterclockwise to the second initial position. Figure 15C As shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state. When the circuit breaker is opened, the driving motor 20c drives the opening and closing driving gear to rotate clockwise, and the opening and closing driving gear drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate counterclockwise until it is limited to the transmission member 4. The transmission member gear 27c continues to rotate and drives the transmission member 4 to rotate counterclockwise, and the circuit breaker completes the opening. Figure 15A As shown, the opening and closing driving gear is driven to rotate counterclockwise and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate back to the second initial position.

[0102] In the circuit breaker of the present invention, an idle stroke is provided between the transmission gear 27c and the transmission member 4 (that is, the transmission gear 27c can only drive the transmission member 4 to rotate synchronously after being rotated to a certain angle. The angle rotated by the transmission gear 27c before the transmission member 4 starts to rotate is its idle stroke). Therefore, after the electric mechanism 2c drives the circuit breaker to complete the opening / closing operation through the operating mechanism, the transmission gear 27c rotates to the second initial position and does not interfere with the transmission member 4. On the one hand, the user can manually complete the circuit breaker opening / closing operation. On the other hand, when the circuit breaker fails due to a short circuit or overload, it can trip smoothly, thereby ensuring the protection performance of the circuit breaker.

[0103] like Figure 12A and 12B FIG. 1 shows a sixth embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present invention.

[0104] The difference between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment is that: the electric mechanism 2c further includes a fourth transmission gear 250c coaxially linked with the first sector gear 251c; the transmission member 4 is coaxially arranged with the transmission member gear 27c; the operating mechanism further includes a trip lever 3c drivingly connected to the lock catch 51 and pivotally arranged; when the circuit breaker is closed, the first sector gear 251c rotates from the third initial position to the second direction until it meshes with the transmission member gear 27c and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate from the second initial position to the first direction, the transmission member gear 27c drives the transmission member 4 to rotate in the first direction, the circuit breaker is closed and the first sector gear 251c rotates until it disengages from the transmission member gear 27c, and the transmission member gear 27c automatically rotates back to The second initial position and the transmission member 4 remain in the position when the circuit breaker is closed (that is, in the first direction, the transmission member gear 27c is coaxially linked with the transmission member 4, and in the second direction, the transmission member gear 27c can rotate in the second direction and return to the second initial position while the transmission member 4 remains stationary). When the circuit breaker is opened, the first sector gear 251c and the fourth transmission gear 250c continue to rotate in the second direction, the fourth transmission gear 250c drives the trip lever 3c to rotate, and the trip lever 3c drives the lock catch 51 to rotate in the second direction. The lock catch 51 and the trip catch 50 are released from the lock engagement, the circuit breaker is opened, and the first sector gear 251c continues to rotate to the third initial position in which it is close to but not yet engaged with the transmission member gear 27c. Furthermore, the electric mechanism 2c also includes a transmission member gear return spring for driving the transmission member gear 27c to return.

[0105] Specifically, such as Figure 12AAs shown, the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the transmission gear 27c is in the second initial position, the first sector gear 251c and the transmission gear 27c are disengaged, and when the circuit breaker is opened, the drive motor 20c drives the fourth transmission gear 250c and the first sector gear 251c to rotate counterclockwise synchronously. During the rotation of the fourth transmission gear 250c, the trip lever 3c drives the lock 51 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the lock 51 and the trip buckle 50 are released from the lock engagement, the circuit breaker is opened and the first sector gear 251c continues to rotate to the third initial position (with the first sector gear 251c). Figure 11A same as shown); reference Figure 11A As shown, when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first sector gear 251c is in the third initial position, the transmission member gear 27c is in the second initial position, the first sector gear 251c and the transmission member gear 27c are not engaged, and when the circuit breaker is closed, the drive motor 20c drives the first sector gear 251c to rotate counterclockwise until it engages with the transmission member gear 27c and drives the transmission member gear 27c to rotate clockwise. The transmission member gear 27c is driven and drives the transmission member 4 to rotate clockwise. Figure 11B As shown, the circuit breaker is closed and the first sector gear 251c rotates to disengage from the transmission gear 27c, and then Figure 12A As shown, the transmission member gear 27c can be driven by the transmission member gear return spring to automatically rotate to the second initial position, while the transmission member 4 remains in the closing position.

Of course, the trip lever 3c can also adopt other similar structures.
