[0025] This invention provides an ultra-thin remote-controlled circuit breaker, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a top cover 1 and a base 2. A driven gear 8 is installed inside the base 2. A sector gear 81 is installed in the center of the front of the driven gear 8. A gear boss 83 is installed on the back of the driven gear 8. A release lever 3 is installed inside the base 2 near the gear boss 83. An inner handle 82 is provided on one side of the front of the driven gear 8. One end of the inner handle 82 is connected to an operating mechanism 11. The other end of the inner handle 82 meshes with the sector gear 81 through sector teeth. A helical gear 9 is provided above the driven gear 8. A driving gear 91 is installed in the middle of the helical gear 9. The driving gear 91 meshes with the driven gear 8. A button 4 is connected to the top side of the inner handle 82 through a connecting rod 6.
[0026] In this embodiment, the release lever 3, driven gear 8, helical gear 9, and inner handle 82 are all mounted in the base 2 via a rotating shaft, which facilitates the rotation of the release lever 3, driven gear 8, helical gear 9, and inner handle 82.
[0027] Specifically, a motor 7 is installed inside the base 2. A worm gear 71 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 7. The worm gear 71 is connected to the outside of the helical gear 9. The motor 7 drives the helical gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 8 to rotate through the driving gear 91, thereby driving the sector gear 81 to rotate, and thus driving the inner handle 82 to swing.
[0028] Furthermore, a first micro switch 21 is installed below the driven gear 8. After the first micro switch 21 detects that the driven gear 8 has rotated to the correct position, the motor 7 can be stopped. A second micro switch 22 is installed below the inner handle 82. After the second micro switch 22 detects that the inner handle 82 has rotated to the correct position, the motor 7 can be stopped.
[0029] Furthermore, a negative terminal clamp 23 and a positive terminal clamp 24 are installed at one end of the interior of the base 2, and a negative terminal conductive clamp 29 and a positive terminal conductive clamp 210 are installed at the other end of the interior of the base 2. The positive terminal clamp 24 is connected to the positive terminal conductive clamp 210 through the positive terminal connecting plate 25. The negative terminal clamp 23 is connected to one end of the coil below the operating mechanism 11. The inner end of the negative terminal conductive clamp 29 is connected to a shunt 27 through a flexible connector 28. The bottom end of the shunt 27 is connected to a U-shaped stationary contact 26. An arc-extinguishing chamber 12 is provided at the upper end of the U-shaped stationary contact 26. The shunt 27 is located between the arc-extinguishing chamber 12 and the signal terminal 10. The positive terminal path is realized through the positive terminal clamp 24, the positive terminal connecting plate 25, and the positive terminal conductive clamp 210, and the negative terminal path is realized through the negative terminal clamp 23, the operating mechanism 11, the U-shaped stationary contact 26, the shunt 27, the flexible connector 28, and the negative terminal conductive clamp 29.
[0030] Furthermore, a circuit board 13 is also installed on the inner side of the base 2. A signal terminal 10 is installed at one end of the circuit board 13 for signal transmission. The signal terminal 10 is used to control the signal output and input of the motor 7 and the shunt 27. The shunt 27 is used to detect the main circuit current. The shunt 27 is located between the signal terminal 10 and the arc-extinguishing chamber 12.
[0031] Furthermore, a latch 5 is provided on the top of button 4 to lock button 4 in place and prevent button 4 from accidentally returning to its original position.
[0032] Furthermore, the operating mechanism 11 can control the contact and separation of the moving contact and the stationary contact to realize the closing and opening actions.
[0033] Furthermore, one end of the base 2 is provided with a negative terminal connection hole 211, a negative terminal disconnection groove 212, a positive terminal connection hole 213, and a positive terminal disconnection groove 214 in sequence. The negative terminal connection hole 211 is arranged adjacent to the button 4.

The positive terminal connection hole 213 is located at the lower end of the negative terminal disconnection groove 212. The positive terminal disconnection groove 214 is located at the lower end of the positive terminal connection hole 213.
[0034] When using the ultra-thin remote control circuit breaker of the present invention, first connect the positive terminal clamp 24 and the negative terminal clamp 23 to the load terminal, and connect the negative terminal conductive clamp 29 and the positive terminal conductive clamp 210 to the power input terminal. Then turn on the motor 7. The motor 7 can control the helical gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the driven gear 8 to rotate through the driving gear 91, which in turn drives the sector gear 81 to rotate, which in turn drives the inner handle 82 to swing, thereby realizing the closing action of the operating mechanism 11. At this time, the first micro switch 21 can stop the motor 7 after detecting that the driven gear 8 has rotated to the position. At this time, the circuit breaker can freely open and close.
[0035] The motor 7 continues to control the helical gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise, and the gear boss 83 on the sector gear 81 drives the trip lever 3 to rotate, thereby pushing the inner handle 82 to rotate. The operating mechanism 11 realizes the tripping action. At this time, the second micro switch 22 can stop the motor 7 after detecting that the inner handle 82 has rotated to the correct position.
