Specifically, the screw transmission mechanism includes a bearing plate 7 connected to the opposite side walls of the box body 1, a screw 8 rotatably connected to one of the bearing plates and the rear wall of the box body, a guide rod connected to the other bearing plate and the rear wall of the box body, a transmission plate 9 threadedly connected to the screw rod, a slide plate slidably connected to the guide rod, and a handle 10 connected to the outer end of the screw rod. The handle 10 is located on the inner side of the cover plate 4. The transmission plate 9 and the slide plate are both provided with screw holes. The two ends of the mounting rail 2 are also provided with screw holes. The mounting rail 2 is installed on the transmission plate 9 and the slide plate by screws. Turning the handle 10 drives the screw rod 8 to rotate, which can drive the transmission plate 9 to move along the screw rod 8, so that the mounting rail 2 moves forward to facilitate the installation of the circuit breaker.

[0027] In this embodiment, both sides of the mounting rail 2 extend outwards, and the mounting rail 2 is used to mount the circuit breaker 3, and the circuit breaker 3 can slide along the mounting rail 2. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of a circuit breaker 3 is shown, wherein a notch is provided on the housing, a bayonet 301 is provided on the upper part of the notch, and a slot 302 is provided on the lower part of the notch. Figure 7 As shown, the circuit breaker can be installed by clamping the clamping opening 301 and the clamping slot 301 on the two extended edges of the mounting rail, and can slide along the mounting rail 2.

[0031] The principle of this embodiment is as follows: setting the detection box 5 on the side will not reduce the original circuit breaker installation and wiring space, and there is no need to add additional space for the installation of the detection box, which reduces the production cost; the detection box 5 can intuitively display the state of the distribution box through the interconnection with the circuit breaker 3, reducing the trouble of removing the cover for inspection during line maintenance. The mounting rail 2 is installed on the screw transmission mechanism. Through the operation of the screw transmission mechanism, the mounting rail 2 can be moved back and forth in the box body 1 to adjust the distance between the circuit breaker 3 and the rear wall of the box body 1, which is convenient for the wire to pass through and is conducive to wiring. By driving the mounting rail 2 forward through the screw transmission mechanism, the installation position of the circuit breaker can be moved toward the outside of the box body, which is convenient for the installation of the circuit breaker, and the circuit breaker 3 is clamped on the mounting rail, and does not need to be fixed by screws, which improves the convenience of installation and disassembly.

The two connecting plates 202 are respectively connected to the transmission plate 9 and the slide plate by screws. A sliding groove is provided on the side of the first guide rail 201 facing the second guide rail 203. One side of the second guide rail 203 is slidably connected to the sliding groove. Both ends of the second guide rail 203 maintain a gap with the two connecting plates 202 so that the second guide rail 203 can slide. The first guide rail 201 and the second guide rail 203 are fixed by screws.

[0034] When installing the circuit breaker, remove the screws of the first guide rail 201 and the second guide rail 203, and adjust the position of the second guide rail 203 according to the length of the notch of the circuit breaker, so as to adapt to circuit breakers of different models.
