[0005] The technical solution of the utility model: a circuit breaker operating mechanism, including a base, a handle, a lock and a trip button, the handle is rotatably arranged on the base, the handle and the trip button are connected by a connecting rod, and also includes an L-pole contact seat, an L-pole moving contact arranged on the L-pole contact seat, an N-pole contact seat and an N-pole moving contact arranged on the N-pole contact seat, the L-pole contact seat is provided with an arc groove for the movement of the connecting rod, a partition is provided on the base, the L-pole moving contact and the N-pole moving contact are respectively arranged on both sides of the partition, the L-pole contact seat and the N-pole contact seat are connected to form an activity space through a connecting column, the lock and the trip button are rotatably arranged in the activity space, and the trip button is rotatably sleeved on the connecting column, and the N-pole contact seat is provided with a first boss, a second boss and a third boss on the side facing the L-pole contact seat The second boss is located on the left side of the first boss and is separated from the first boss. The middle part of the lock buckle is installed between the first boss and the second boss through a pin shaft. The upper end of the lock buckle is provided with an engaging surface that cooperates with the jump buckle to limit the rotation of the jump buckle. The fourth boss and the fifth boss are correspondingly provided on the side of the L-pole contact seat facing the N-pole contact seat. When the L-pole contact seat is connected to the N-pole contact seat, the first boss is in contact with the L-pole contact seat, the second boss is in contact with the fourth boss, the third boss and the fifth boss are located on both sides of the partition and are in contact with the partition. A trip rod is provided on the lock buckle, and the trip rod is located below the second boss and the fourth boss. When the switch is closed, the trip rod extends out of the activity space. When tripping, the lock buckle rotates under the action of the electromagnetic system, and the trip rod retracts into the activity space.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, the structural layout is reasonable, the installation is convenient, the operation is stable, the lock can move flexibly between the two contact seats, and the release is rapid. When the electromagnetic system is working, the release rod is pushed to rotate the lock, and the release rod is retracted into the activity space. The position setting of each boss will not affect the movement of the lock, and it can move flexibly between the two contact seats, and the movement is smooth and unobstructed. Long grooves are provided on the L-pole contact seat and the N-pole contact seat, and the pin shaft is passed through the long grooves.

[0007] Further configuration of the utility model: a lock spring is provided between the lock and the N-pole contact seat, a first lock spring placement groove is provided on the lower end surface of the first boss, a second lock spring placement groove is provided on the lock, and both ends of the lock spring are respectively located in the corresponding lock spring placement grooves.

When the contact seat moves, the side walls of the third boss and the fifth boss are always in conflict with the partition. The first gap and the second gap are small, and the generated arc will be cut into small arcs even if it enters from the gap, thereby not affecting the locking and tripping between the two contact seats.

[0013] The utility model is further configured that an eighth boss is provided on the N-pole contact seat at the right side of the connecting column, and when the L-pole contact seat is connected to the N-pole contact seat, the eighth boss abuts against the L-pole contact seat.

[0014] With the above further configuration, the eighth boss can limit the rotation angle of the jumper to prevent it from excessive rotation, and abut against the L-pole contact seat, so that the structure between the L-pole contact seat and the N-pole contact seat is stable.

[0015] The utility model is further configured as follows: a mounting shaft is provided on the base, a connecting groove is provided on the L-pole contact seat and the N-pole contact seat, the two connecting grooves are located at the same height, a first tension spring is provided between the mounting shaft and the L-pole contact seat, and a second tension spring is provided between the mounting shaft and the N-pole contact seat.

[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned further arrangement, under the pulling of the tension spring, the contact seat rotates around the pin shaft, driving the moving contact to move, thereby realizing the disconnection movement with the static contact. The two tension springs generate pulling force on the two contact seats, so that the contact seats have good stability during opening and closing actions, will not produce deflection, and ensure good contact between the moving and static contacts.
