Further, the circuit breaker of the application further comprises a short-circuit protection mechanism 6, an arc extinguishing system 7, an overload protection mechanism 110, an incoming terminal 880 and an outgoing terminal 881; the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 and the overload protection mechanism 110 are driven in cooperation with the operating mechanism 5, when short-circuit or overload failure occurs in the circuit breaker, the short-circuit protection mechanism 6 and the overload protection mechanism 110 drive the operating mechanism 5 to trip, so that the movable contact 1a and the fixed contact 1b of the circuit breaker can be disconnected.

[0066] The first circuit breaker disclosed by the application is as follows:

[0067] As shown in Figure 1 、 9 The application discloses a circuit breaker, which comprises a circuit breaker shell 1, a button mechanism 2, an electric mechanism 3 and an operating mechanism 5 arranged in the circuit breaker shell 1, a movable contact 1a connected with the operating mechanism 5, a fixed contact 1b used in cooperation with the movable contact 1a, and the button mechanism 2 can drive the circuit breaker to close or open through the operating mechanism 5; the electric mechanism 3 is driven in cooperation with the button mechanism 2 and the operating mechanism 5, the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to close through the operating mechanism 5, and the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to open through the button mechanism 2. The operating mechanism 5 comprises a transmission member 501 pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker shell 1 and connected with the button mechanism 2 in a driving mode, the button mechanism 2 is pressed to drive the transmission member 501 to rotate in a closing direction, so that manual closing is realized, and the button mechanism 2 is pulled to drive the transmission member 501 to rotate reversely, so that manual opening is realized; the electric mechanism 3 drives the transmission member 5 to rotate, so that the circuit breaker is closed (electric closing), and the electric mechanism 3 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate reversely through the button mechanism 2, so that the circuit breaker is opened (electric opening). Further, as shown in Figure 1 、 9The electric mechanism 3 includes a driving gear 305 and a driven gear 306 pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker housing 1 respectively, the driving gear 305 is in driving cooperation with the driven gear 306, the driven gear 306 is coaxially arranged with the transmission member 501 and in driving cooperation with the transmission member 501; the driving gear 305 is in driving cooperation with the driven gear 306, the driven gear 306 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to the closing direction to close the circuit breaker, the driving gear 305 is in driving cooperation with the button mechanism 2, the button mechanism 2 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate reversely to open the circuit breaker, thus the automatic opening and closing is realized. The circuit breaker of the present application includes the electric mechanism for realizing the automatic opening and closing of the circuit breaker, the closing operation is realized by the cooperation of the electric mechanism and the operating mechanism, the opening operation is realized by the cooperation of the electric mechanism and the button mechanism, thus the structure of the electric opening and closing is simplified and the service life of the circuit breaker is prolonged.

[0068] Further, as one of the improvements of the present application, the driving gear 305 drives the driven gear 306 to rotate in the same direction when realizing the closing of the circuit breaker, that is, the motor of the electric mechanism 3 always rotates in one direction during the automatic opening and closing, thus the control process of the electric mechanism 3 is simplified. In a specific embodiment, when closing, the driving gear 305 rotates from the first initial position to the first direction to engage with the driven gear 306, the driving gear 305 continues to rotate and drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to the second direction through the driven gear 306, thus the circuit breaker is closed, then the driving gear 305 continues to rotate to the intermediate position (the intermediate position refers to the position that the driving gear 305 is disengaged from the driven gear 306 and the driving gear 305 does not drive the connecting member 204 of the button mechanism 2) and is disengaged from the driven gear 306; when opening, the driving gear 305 rotates from the intermediate position to the first direction and drives the button mechanism 2 to act, the button mechanism 2 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to the first direction, thus the circuit breaker is opened, then the driving gear 305 continues to rotate to the first initial position (that is, the position that does not affect the manual opening and closing function of the circuit breaker). The closing operation of the circuit breaker of the present application is realized by the cooperation of the electric mechanism 3 and the operating mechanism 5, the opening operation is realized by the cooperation of the electric mechanism 3 and the button mechanism 2, firstly, compared with the circuit breaker of the prior art in which the closing / opening operation is realized by the cooperation of the electric mechanism 3 and the operating mechanism 5, the wear progress of the operating mechanism 5 is effectively slowed down, thus the service life of the circuit breaker is prolonged; secondly, during the closing / opening process, the driving gear 305 of the electric mechanism 3 always rotates to the first direction, that is, the motor 301 of the electric mechanism 3 does not need to change the rotating direction during the closing / opening process, thus the control process of the electric mechanism 3 is simplified; thirdly, the motor 301 of the electric mechanism 3 does not need to frequently switch between the forward rotation and the reverse rotation, thus the probability of damaging the motor 301 is reduced, thus the service life of the electric mechanism 3 is prolonged.

[0069] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 The button mechanism 2 comprises a button piece 201 and a connecting piece 204 respectively slidingly arranged on the circuit breaker housing 1, a first connecting rod 202 having two ends respectively connected with the button piece 201 and the connecting piece 204, and a second connecting rod 203 having two ends respectively connected with the connecting piece 204 and a driving piece 501. It is to be noted that the button piece 201, the first connecting rod 202 and the connecting piece 204 of the button mechanism 2 can be designed as an integrated component, thereby reducing the number of parts. In order to facilitate the cooperation of the button mechanism 2 with other mechanisms and without affecting the cooperation with the electric mechanism 3, the button mechanism 2 of the present application is preferably a combined component of the button piece 201, the first connecting rod 202, the connecting piece 204 and the second connecting rod 203. Further, an indicating piece (not shown in the figure) for indicating the on-off state is arranged in the button piece 201, and an indicating window is arranged on the button piece 201, and the button piece 201 drives the indicating piece to swing or slide to display the on-off state of the circuit breaker during the on-off operation.

[0070] Further, as shown in Figure 17 The circuit breaker further comprises a locking mechanism 4, one end of which is a locking mechanism driven end protruding outside the circuit breaker housing 1, and the other end is a locking mechanism cooperating end cooperating with the button mechanism 2. An improvement of the present application is that the locking mechanism cooperating end of the locking mechanism 4 cooperates with the button piece 201 or the first connecting rod 202, and the driving gear piece 305 of the electric mechanism 3 cooperates with the connecting piece 204; the button mechanism 2 adopts the combined component mode of the button piece 201, the first connecting rod 202 and the connecting piece 204, thereby facilitating the cooperation of the button mechanism 2 with the locking mechanism 4 and the electric mechanism 3 at the same time. It is to be noted that the circuit breaker of the present embodiment is an insertion type circuit breaker, which is inserted into the circuit breaker assembly position of a cabinet, the locking mechanism 4 cooperates with the button mechanism 2 and the housing of the circuit breaker assembly position, thereby realizing the locking and / or unlocking of the circuit breaker after being installed into the circuit breaker assembly position, and / or preventing the circuit breaker from being installed out of position, and / or preventing the circuit breaker from being installed into or pulled out of the circuit breaker assembly position in the closed state, and / or preventing the circuit breaker from being closed when not installed into the circuit breaker assembly position. The button mechanism 2 of the present application is suitable for cooperating with each locking mechanism 4, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0071] For example, one embodiment of the locking mechanism is that a locking hole corresponding to the driven end of the locking mechanism is arranged on the breaker mounting position of the cabinet. After the breaker is mounted, the driven end of the locking mechanism 4 protrudes outside the breaker housing 1 and into the locking hole of the cabinet, preventing the breaker from being pulled out of the cabinet at will. Pulling the button piece 201, the button piece 201 or the first connecting rod 202 or the connecting piece 204 or the indicating piece can drive the matching end of the locking mechanism to retract the driven end of the locking mechanism into the breaker housing 1, so that the breaker can be pulled out of the breaker mounting position. Another embodiment of the locking mechanism is that when the breaker is not mounted in the breaker mounting position, the driven end of the locking mechanism is pressed by the cabinet wall to retract into the breaker housing 1, and the matching end of the locking mechanism is limited to cooperate with the button piece 201 or the first connecting rod 202 or the connecting piece 204 or the indicating piece, preventing the button piece 201 from moving in the closing direction, and unable to close when not mounted in the breaker mounting position. When the breaker is mounted in the breaker mounting position, the driven end of the locking mechanism is no longer pressed by the shell of the breaker mounting position to move outside the breaker housing 1, so that the matching end of the locking mechanism is released from the limited cooperation with the button piece 201 or the first connecting rod 202 or the connecting piece 204, and the button piece 201 can move in the closing direction and make the breaker close through the operating mechanism 5.

[0072] Preferably, as Figure 4 、 9The circuit breaker further comprises an energy storage spring 3-5 arranged between the driven gear 306 and the transmission member 501, as shown in Fig. 12, for realizing compensation of automatic closing out of position and improving reliability of automatic closing. The energy storage spring 3-5 has two functions: one is to reserve a certain excess in the matching stroke of the sector gears of the driving gear member 305 and the driven gear 306, and the other is to reliably close even if there is a matching error between the gears and structural members due to wear. Specifically, the driving gear member 305 rotates from the first initial position to the first direction to mesh with the driven gear 306, the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate and drives the driven gear 306 to rotate in the second direction, the driven gear 306 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate in the second direction through the energy storage spring 3-5, after the circuit breaker is closed, the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate in the first direction and drives the driven gear 306 to rotate in the second direction relative to the transmission member 501, so that the energy storage spring 3-5 stores energy, until the driving gear member 305 rotates to the intermediate position and disengages from the driven gear 306. The circuit breaker of the present application has the energy storage spring 3-5 arranged between the driven gear 306 of the electric drive mechanism 3 and the transmission member 501 of the operating mechanism 5, after the circuit breaker is closed, the driving gear member 305 of the electric drive mechanism 3 drives the driven gear 306 to rotate in the second direction relative to the transmission member 501, so that the energy storage spring stores energy, thereby ensuring that the circuit breaker is closed to position, i.e. ensuring effective closing of the circuit breaker, improving the safety of electricity use of the user. In particular, after the electric drive mechanism 3 is used for a long time, the gears will have a matching error due to wear or a position detection error of the circuit board, which causes the circuit breaker to be automatically closed out of position, and the energy storage spring of the present application can reliably solve the above problems. Further, as shown in Figs. Figure 9 and 12 When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the driving gear member 305 rotates from the intermediate position to the first direction and drives the button mechanism 2 to act, the button mechanism 2 drives the transmission member 501 to rotate in the first direction, so that the circuit breaker is opened, and the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate to the first initial position.

[0073] The following is a second circuit breaker disclosed by the present application:

[0074] As shown in Figs. Figure 21 , 23aAs shown in Figures 23b, 25a, and 25b, the circuit breaker of the present invention includes an electric mechanism 3 and an operating mechanism 5 for automatic opening and closing. The electric mechanism 3 and the operating mechanism 5 are driven together (including direct and indirect driving cooperation). The electric mechanism 3 includes a motor 301 and a gear set, which is driven and connected to the motor 301. The gear set includes a trigger gear. The circuit breaker also includes a switching device, a closing circuit, and a opening circuit. The switching device includes a first switching element 9B that is driven and cooperates with the trigger gear. The output terminal of the first switching element 9B is connected to the closing circuit and the opening circuit, respectively. The motor 301 is connected in series with the closing circuit. In the circuit and the tripping circuit; when the circuit breaker is in the tripping state, and the first switch 9B connects the closing circuit and simultaneously disconnects the tripping circuit, a closing voltage signal is applied across the first switch 9B and the closing circuit. After the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to close, it triggers the gear to drive the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the tripping circuit; when the circuit breaker is in the closing state, and the first switch 9B connects the tripping circuit and simultaneously disconnects the closing circuit, a tripping voltage signal is applied across the first switch 9B and the tripping circuit. After the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to trip, it triggers the gear to drive the first switch 9B to disconnect the tripping circuit and connect the closing circuit. The circuit breaker of this invention, after completing the closing / opening operation, uses a trigger gear to drive the first switching element 9B to switch between the closing and opening circuits. Its control principle is simple: applying a voltage signal to the electric mechanism 3 activates it. After completing the closing / opening operation, the trigger gear drives the first switching element 9B to switch between the closing and opening circuits, thus stopping the motor. This eliminates the need for the complex circuit structure and control principle of existing technologies used to detect the specific position of the gear, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the circuit breaker and the control circuit of the electric mechanism 3, and making the circuit breaker of this invention more reliable. It should be noted that the motor of this invention described above is suitable for purely electric closing and opening operations.

[0075] The following is the third type of circuit breaker disclosed in this invention:

[0076] Preferred, such as Figure 21 , 22 As shown in Figures 24a-24d and 26a-26d, the circuit breaker of the present invention further includes a manual operation component, a closing auxiliary circuit, and a opening auxiliary circuit. The manual operation component drives the circuit breaker to close / open via the operating mechanism 5. The switching device further includes a second switching element 9C that cooperates with the manual operation component or the operating mechanism 5. The output terminal of the second switching element 9C is connected to the closing auxiliary circuit and the opening auxiliary circuit, respectively. The manual operation component is driven and connected to the operating mechanism 5. The closing auxiliary circuit and the opening auxiliary circuit are respectively connected to the two input terminals of the motor 301. The input terminal of the second switching element 9C is connected to the input terminal of the first switching element 9B.

[0077] When the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first switch 9B is connected to the closing circuit and the second switch 9C is connected to the closing auxiliary circuit, a closing voltage signal is loaded between the first switch 9B and the closing circuit, after the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to close, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the opening circuit, and the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 when closing drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the closing auxiliary circuit and connect the opening auxiliary circuit;

[0078] When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first switch 9B is connected to the opening circuit and the second switch 9C is connected to the opening auxiliary circuit, after the manual operating assembly drives the circuit breaker to open, the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 when opening drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the opening auxiliary circuit and connect the closing auxiliary circuit; a closing voltage signal is loaded between the first switch 9B and the closing circuit, the electric motor 301 drives the trigger gear to rotate, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the opening circuit and connect the closing circuit, then the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to close, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the opening circuit, and the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the closing auxiliary circuit and connect the opening auxiliary circuit.

[0079] When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first switch 9B is connected to the opening circuit and the second switch 9C is connected to the opening auxiliary circuit, after the manual operating assembly drives the circuit breaker to open, the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 when opening drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the opening auxiliary circuit and connect the closing auxiliary circuit; a closing voltage signal is loaded between the first switch 9B and the closing circuit, the electric motor 301 drives the trigger gear to rotate, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the opening circuit and connect the closing circuit, then the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to close, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the opening circuit, and the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the closing auxiliary circuit and connect the opening auxiliary circuit.

[0080] When the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first switch 9B is connected to the closing circuit and the second switch 9C is connected to the closing auxiliary circuit, after the manual operating assembly drives the circuit breaker to close, the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 when closing drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the closing auxiliary circuit and connect the opening auxiliary circuit; a closing voltage signal is loaded between the first switch 9B and the closing circuit, the electric motor 301 drives the trigger gear to rotate, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the opening circuit, then the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to open, the trigger gear drives the first switch 9B to disconnect the opening circuit and connect the closing circuit, and the action of the manual operating assembly or operating mechanism 5 drives the second switch 9C to disconnect the opening auxiliary circuit and connect the closing auxiliary circuit.

[0081] The circuit breaker of the present application can normally close and open by loading the closing voltage signal and the opening voltage signal when the current state of the circuit breaker (i.e. the open or closed state) corresponds to or does not correspond to the position of the trigger gear. It should be noted that the situation that the current state of the circuit breaker does not correspond to the position of the trigger gear is caused by the manual operation of the circuit breaker after the circuit breaker is closed or opened by the electric mechanism 3 through the operating mechanism 5. If the circuit breaker is only closed or opened by the electric mechanism 3 through the operating mechanism 5, the current state of the circuit breaker always corresponds to the position of the trigger gear. Therefore, the circuit breaker of the present application can be compatible with the manual / automatic closing and opening operation by the cooperation of the trigger gear, the first switch 9B, the closing circuit, the opening circuit, the second switch 9C, the closing auxiliary circuit and the opening auxiliary circuit.

[0082] It should be noted that the second and third circuit breakers can be realized on the basis of the first circuit breaker. Specifically, the second circuit breaker can be realized by adding the first switch 9B, the closing circuit and the opening circuit to the first circuit breaker, and the first switch 9B is driven in cooperation with the trigger gear of the electric mechanism 3. The third circuit breaker can be realized by adding the second switch 9C, the closing auxiliary circuit and the opening auxiliary circuit to the second circuit breaker, and the second switch 9C is driven in cooperation with the manual operation assembly or the operating mechanism 5.

[0083] As shown in Figure 1 Fig. 20 shows the first embodiment of the circuit breaker of the present application, which is the first embodiment of the first circuit breaker.

[0084] As shown in Figure 1 , 9 As shown in Fig. 12, the circuit breaker of the present application comprises a circuit breaker housing 1, a button mechanism 2, an electric mechanism 3 and an operating mechanism 5 arranged in the circuit breaker housing 1. The button mechanism 2 is drivingly connected with the operating mechanism 5, and can drive the circuit breaker to close / open through the operating mechanism 5 to realize the manual closing / opening. The electric mechanism 3 is drivingly connected with the button mechanism 2 and / or the operating mechanism 5, and drives the circuit breaker to close / open through the operating mechanism 5 to realize the automatic closing / opening.

[0085] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1The electric mechanism 3 is in driving cooperation with the transmission member 501 of the operating mechanism 5 to realize the closing of the circuit breaker, and in driving cooperation with the button mechanism 2 to realize the opening of the circuit breaker. The electric mechanism 3 comprises a driving gear member 305 and a driven gear 306 which are pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker housing 1 respectively, and the driving gear member 305 is in driving cooperation with the driven gear 306 and the button mechanism 2 respectively. The operating mechanism 5 comprises a transmission member 501 which is pivotally arranged on the circuit breaker housing 1 and is in driving connection with the button mechanism 2, and the driven gear 306 is coaxially arranged with the transmission member 501 and is in driving cooperation with the transmission member 501. The driving gear member 305 rotates from a first initial position (as shown in Figure 9 ) to a first direction to engage with the driven gear 306 (as shown in Figure 10 ), and the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate and drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to a second direction through the driven gear 306 to realize the closing of the circuit breaker, and then the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate to an intermediate position (as shown in Figure 12 ) and disengages from the driven gear 306. The driving gear member 305 rotates from the intermediate position to the first direction to drive the button mechanism 2 to act, and the button mechanism 2 drives the transmission member 5 to rotate to the first direction to realize the opening of the circuit breaker, and then the driving gear member 305 continues to rotate to the first initial position.

[0086] The rotation direction of the driving gear member 305 to drive the driven gear 306 to realize the closing of the circuit breaker is consistent with the rotation direction of the driving gear member 305 to drive the button mechanism 2 to realize the opening of the circuit breaker, which is beneficial to simplify the control process of the electric mechanism 3. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , 9 -12, the first direction is counterclockwise direction, and the second direction is clockwise direction, and the driving gear member 305 always rotates in the counterclockwise direction (i.e. always rotates in the same direction) during the driving of the closing and opening of the circuit breaker. The driving gear member 305 is disengaged from the driven gear 306 when the driving gear member 305 is in the first initial position or the intermediate position. When the driving gear member 305 rotates to the first initial position or the intermediate position, the driving gear member 305 or the driven gear 306 triggers the power supply circuit of the electric mechanism 3 to be disconnected, so that the motor 301 is de-energized and the driving gear member 305 stops rotating, which can greatly simplify the control process of the electric mechanism 3. Of course, the driving gear member 305 or the driven gear 306 can also trigger the position sensor when the driving gear member 305 rotates to the first initial position or the intermediate position, and then the position information is transmitted to the control chip, and then the control chip controls the motor to stop rotating, which is relatively complex to realize.

Obviously, the trigger gear is not limited to the driving gear element 305, but also can be the first transmission gear element 303 or the second transmission gear element 304 or other gears.

[0149] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 17 , 18 and 21, the first switch element 9B is arranged between the first driving gear 305-3 and the circuit board 111, and is connected to the circuit board 111.

[0150] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figure 21As shown, the circuit breaker further comprises a manually operated component, the manually operated component and the electric mechanism 3 are respectively connected with the operating mechanism 5 for driving, the manually operated component drives the circuit breaker to close / open through the operating mechanism 5; the electric mechanism 3 further comprises a driving gear 305 and a driven gear 306 which are respectively pivotally arranged, the driving gear 305 is a trigger gear, the driving gear 305 is drivingly matched with the driven gear 306, the driven gear 306 is coaxially arranged with the transmission member 501 and drivingly matched with the transmission member 501; the driving gear 305 rotates from a first initial position to a first direction to engage with the driven gear 306, the driving gear 305 continues to rotate and drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to a second direction through the driven gear 306, so that the circuit breaker is closed, the driving gear 305 continues to rotate to an intermediate position to drive the first switch 9B to disconnect the closing circuit and connect the opening circuit and disengage with the driven gear 306; the driving gear 305 rotates from the intermediate position to the first direction and drives the manually operated component to act, the manually operated component drives the transmission member 501 to rotate to the first direction, so that the circuit breaker is opened, the driving gear 305 continues to rotate to the first initial position to drive the first switch 9B to disconnect the opening circuit and connect the closing circuit. Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 21 In the embodiment, the manually operated component is a button mechanism 2, and the circuit breaker is an insertion type circuit breaker.

[0151] As other embodiments, the manually operated component can also be a handle, and the circuit breaker can be a common small circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is not provided with the manually operated component and only has the electric mechanism 3 for automatic closing, the electric mechanism 3 drives the circuit breaker to automatically open / close through the operating mechanism; when the circuit breaker is provided with the electric mechanism 3, the electric mechanism 3 can directly drive the circuit breaker to automatically open / close through the operating mechanism, or can drive the manually operated component to realize automatic opening / closing.

[0152] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 23a When the circuit breaker is in the open state, the first switch element 9B connects the closing circuit and disconnects the opening circuit, and the closing voltage signal (the positive electrode of the power supply terminal E0 and the negative electrode of the power supply terminal E1) is loaded between the first switch element 9B and the closing circuit (the current flows through the power supply terminal E0, the common contact b3, the normally closed contact b0, the diode D3, the motor 301, the diode D2 and the power supply terminal E1 in sequence), the motor 301 rotates in the positive direction and drives the driving gear 305 to rotate from the first initial position to the intermediate position, and the circuit breaker is closed, at the same time, the switch driving table 305-4 of the third driving gear 305-3 presses the first driving rod of the first switch element 9B, so that the first switch element 9B disconnects the closing circuit and connects the opening circuit (as shown in the figure, Figure 23bAs shown), at this time, the closing voltage signal cannot pass through the opening circuit (due to the unidirectional conduction function of diodes D1 and D4), therefore the motor 301 stops rotating; as Figure 23b As shown, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first switching element 9B connects the opening circuit and simultaneously disconnects the closing circuit. During automatic opening, the opening voltage signal (power terminal E0 connected to the negative terminal and power terminal E1 connected to the positive terminal) is applied to the first switching element 9B and both ends of the opening circuit (current flows sequentially through power terminal E1, diode D4, motor 301, diode D1, normally open contact b1, common contact b0, and power terminal E0). The motor 301 rotates forward and drives the drive gear 305 to rotate from the middle position to the first initial position, and the circuit breaker completes the opening. At the same time, the switch drive platform 305-4 of the third drive gear 305-3 releases the first drive rod of the first switching element 9B, causing the first switching element 9B to disconnect the opening circuit and connect the closing circuit (e.g., ...). Figure 23a As shown in the diagram, the tripping voltage signal cannot pass through the closing circuit (due to the single-phase conduction function of diodes D2 and D3), therefore, the motor 301 stops rotating. Thus, when the circuit breaker of this invention needs to perform closing / opening operations, it is only necessary to switch the current direction or voltage direction of the power supply to the motor 301. Controlling the power supply to the motor 301 is simple and convenient, requiring no chip control and avoiding interference and influence on the chip under specific environments.

[0153] Furthermore, this embodiment can be combined with the third embodiment of the present invention. The circuit breaker also includes a manual / automatic switching device disposed inside the circuit breaker housing 1. The manual / automatic switching device includes a switching operation element 7a and a switching switch element 9A. The switching operation element 7a is disposed on the circuit breaker operation interface 1i, located on the side of the button mounting hole and movably connected to the circuit breaker housing 1. The switching switch element 9A is connected in series in the closing circuit and the opening circuit. When the switching switch element 9A is open, it is in manual working mode, the motor 301 cannot be energized, and it cannot automatically open or close. When the switching switch element 9A is closed, it is in automatic working mode, and it can open and close manually and automatically at the same time. The switching switch element 9A is a micro switch.

At the same time, the switch driving platform 305-4 of the third driving gear 305-3 presses the first driving rod of the first switch element 9B, so that the first switch element 9B is disconnected from the closing circuit and connected to the opening circuit (as shown in Figure 25b ), and the closing voltage signal cannot pass through the opening circuit (because the power terminal E2 is not connected, and even if the power terminal E2 is connected, the motor 301 will be short-circuited), so the motor 301 stops rotating. Figure 25a , the circuit breaker is in the closing state, the first switch element 9B is connected to the opening circuit, and the opening voltage signal (the power terminal E0 is connected to the negative terminal, and the power terminal E2 is connected to the positive terminal) is loaded across the first switch element 9B and the opening circuit (the current flows through the power terminal E2, the motor 301, the normally open contact b1, the common contact b3, and the power terminal E0 in sequence), the motor 301 rotates in the forward direction and drives the driving gear member 305 to rotate from the intermediate position to the first initial position, and the circuit breaker is opened. At the same time, the switch driving platform 305-4 of the third driving gear 305-3 releases the first driving rod of the first switch element 9B, so that the first switch element 9B is disconnected from the opening circuit and connected to the closing circuit (as shown in Figure 21 ), and the opening voltage signal cannot pass through the closing circuit (because the power terminal E1 is not connected, and even if the power terminal E1 is connected, the motor 301 will be short-circuited), so the motor 301 stops rotating.
