[0052] Working principle: When using this test device to test the circuit breaker, first place the circuit breaker on the rubber pad 22, and align the wiring holes on both sides of the circuit breaker with the detection head 20. At this time, start the motor 3. The output shaft of the motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 2 drives the worm 4 to rotate. The worm 4 drives the worm wheel 6 to rotate, and the worm wheel 6 drives the sliding shaft 8 to move downward through the threaded section 7.

[0053] When the sliding shaft 8 moves downward, the two transmission rods 9 are driven to move downward. When the two transmission rods 9 move downward, the ends away from the sliding shaft 8 rotate closer. In this process, the two transmission rods 9 drive the two sliders 10 to slide closer. The two sliders 10 drive the two spring telescopic rods to move closer, and the telescopic ends 16 of the two spring telescopic rods push the detection head 20 to move closer to the corresponding wiring hole through the fixing plate 19. At this time, the position of the short circuiter can be adjusted to ensure that the detection head 20 is finally inserted into the corresponding wiring hole.

[0054] After the detection head 20 is inserted into the wiring hole, it gradually abuts against the circuit breaker. After that, the detection head 20, the fixing plate 19 and the telescopic end 16 of the spring telescopic rod stop moving. At the same time, the non-telescopic ends 11 of the two spring telescopic rods move close to the circuit breaker and compress the corresponding springs 17. In this process, the non-telescopic ends 11 of the two spring telescopic rods drive the first contact 14 to move close to the second contact 18 and finally slide in contact with the second contact 18. At this time, the circuit breaker is energized.

[0055] When the sliding shaft 8 moves downward, it also drives the second rack 28 to move synchronously. When the first contact 14 and the second contact 18 are in sliding contact, the second rack 28 gradually meshes with the gear 27 and drives the gear 27 to rotate. At this time, the gear 27 drives the first rack 24 to move upward. The first rack 24 drives the top plate 21 to slide upward, and the top plate 21 drives the rubber pad 22 to contact and abut the circuit breaker, thereby limiting the circuit breaker. In this process, the top plate 21 is always located in the sink.

[0056] When the rubber pad 22 and the circuit breaker form a limit, the motor 3 is shut down. Next, the switch on the circuit breaker is pushed to perform a test.

[0057] After the test is completed, the output shaft of the motor 3 reverses, the two sliders 10 slide away from each other, and the top plate 21 slides down. When the two sliders 10 slide to the farthest distance between the two chutes, turn off the motor 3 and remove the circuit breaker.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
