[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a circuit breaker with a locking structure, comprising a circuit breaker body 1, a wiring hole 2 is opened on the circuit breaker body 1, a switching handle 3 is arranged on the circuit breaker body 1, a control box 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the circuit breaker body 1, and a locking mechanism 5 for limiting the switching handle 3 is arranged inside the control box 4. By setting the locking mechanism 5, the switching handle 3 after the opening can be locked to prevent the switching handle 3 from being accidentally closed when the circuit breaker body 1 is in a power-off state.

[0023] The locking mechanism 5 comprises a rotating shaft 51, a worm wheel 52, a worm 53, a vertical rod 54 and a knob 55; the rotating shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the control box 4, and the vertical rod 54 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 51. When it is necessary to lock the opening and closing handle 3 after the opening, the rotating shaft 51 can be used to drive the vertical rod 54 to rotate downward to the top of the opening and closing handle 3 to prevent uninformed staff from closing the opening and closing handle 3. The worm wheel 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 51, one end of the worm 53 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the control box 4, and the other end of the worm 53 passes through the control box 4 and is fixedly installed with a knob 55. The worm 53 is meshed with the worm wheel 52, and the worm 53 is rotatably connected to the penetration point of the control box 4. The worm 53 is rotated by the knob 55, and the rotating shaft 51 can be driven to rotate by the rotation of the worm 53 and the worm wheel 52 meshed therewith.

[0024] The above-mentioned rotating shaft 51 is provided with an auxiliary mechanism 6, by which the current circuit status of the staff can be reminded to avoid safety accidents. The auxiliary mechanism 6 includes a No. 1 vertical plate 61, a maintenance warning plate 62, a No. 2 vertical plate 63, and a beware of electric shock warning plate 64; the No. 1 vertical plate 61 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 51, and the outer wall of the No. 1 vertical plate 61 is fixedly mounted with a maintenance warning plate 62. When the vertical rod 54 is rotated downward to the top of the opening and closing handle 3, the maintenance warning plate 62 on the outer wall of the No. 1 vertical plate 61 can be In order to remind uninformed staff that the current circuit is under maintenance to avoid accidental closing of the circuit, a No. 2 vertical plate 63 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 51, and a caution electric shock warning plate 64 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the No. 2 vertical plate 63. When the vertical pole 54 is rotated upward and disengaged from the top of the opening and closing handle 3, the caution electric shock warning plate 64 on the outer wall of the No. 2 vertical plate 63 can be used to remind staff to be cautious in their work to avoid electric shock. The No. 1 vertical plate 61 is parallel to the vertical pole 54, and the No. 2 vertical plate 63 is perpendicular to the vertical pole 54.

[0025] Working principle: when it is necessary to cut off the power to the circuit breaker body 1, the opening and closing handle 3 is dropped, and then the worm 53 is rotated by the knob 55. The rotation of the worm 53 cooperates with the worm wheel 52 meshing therewith to drive the rotating shaft 51 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 51 can drive the vertical rod 54 to rotate downward, and make the vertical rod 54 rotate to the top of the opening and closing handle 3 and be vertical to the control box 4. At this time, the vertical rod 54 can be used to limit the opening and closing handle 3 to prevent uninformed staff from closing the opening and closing handle 3, thereby ensuring the safe operation of circuit maintenance personnel.

[0026] When the vertical rod 54 rotates downward to the top of the opening and closing handle 3 and is perpendicular to the control box 4, the shaft 51 will drive the first vertical plate 61 to rotate out of the control box 4, so that the first vertical plate 61 and the control box 4 remain perpendicular and stand up outside the control box 4. At this time, the maintenance warning plate 62 on the outer wall of the first vertical plate 61 can be used to remind uninformed staff that the current circuit is under maintenance to avoid accidental closing. When the vertical rod 54 rotates upward to be separated from the top of the opening and closing handle 3 and is perpendicular to the control box 4, the shaft 51 will drive the first vertical plate 61 to rotate out of the control box 4, so that the first vertical plate 61 and the control box 4 remain perpendicular and stand up outside the control box 4. At this time, the maintenance warning plate 62 on the outer wall of the first vertical plate 61 can be used to remind uninformed staff that the current circuit is under maintenance to avoid accidental closing. When they are parallel, the vertical rod 54 is released from the lock of the opening and closing handle 3, and the opening and closing handle 3 can be closed. At the same time, the rotating shaft 51 will drive the No. 1 vertical plate 61 to rotate to the inside of the control box 4 for storage, and the rotating shaft 51 will drive the No. 2 vertical plate 63 to rotate out of the control box 4, so that the No. 2 vertical plate 63 and the control box 4 remain vertical and stand up outside the control box 4. At this time, the electric shock warning plate 64 on the outer wall of the No. 2 vertical plate 63 can be used to remind the staff to be cautious in their work to avoid electric shock.

[0027] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
