An inlet hole 6 is arranged on the right side of the end of the metal terminal chamber 2 far from the circuit breaker outer casing 1. An oval wire pressing block 7 is movably connected between the front and rear ends inside the metal terminal chamber 2. A wrench handle 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the oval wire pressing block 7. A wrench traction head 9 is adhesively connected to the left side of the wrench handle 8. Multiple groups of anti-slip ridges 10 are arranged on the left side of the wrench traction head 9. A metal spring piece 11 is welded to the right side inside the metal terminal chamber 2;

[0029] The positions of the first wrench slot 4 and the second wrench slot 5 correspond one by one, and the interiors of the first wrench slot 4 and the second wrench slot 5 are connected. The wrench handle 8 can swing up and down along the interiors of the first wrench slot 4 and the second wrench slot 5. The outer part of the elliptical wire pressing block 7 is provided with fine serrations, the anti-slip edges 10 are arranged at equal intervals, and the metal elastic piece 11 has elasticity, which is convenient for quick wiring;

[0030] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the wiring is inserted through the incoming wire hole 6. The installer pushes up the wrench towing head 9, and the wrench towing head 9 drives the wrench handle 8 to move up along the first wrench slot 4 and the second wrench slot 5. The elliptical wire pressing block 7 rotates, pressing the end of the wiring against the metal elastic piece 11. The metal elastic piece 11 contracts under force, and jointly clamps the wiring head with the elliptical wire pressing block 7. The installation process is fast and does not require tools, and the clamping force of the wiring is always consistent.

[0031] Embodiment 2: A plastic housing 12 is provided above the circuit breaker operating handle 19. A micro buzzer 13 is fixedly connected inside the left top end of the plastic housing 12. A pressure sensor 14 is provided below the micro buzzer 13. A circuit board 15 is fixedly connected to the right side inside the plastic housing 12.

[0035] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, first, the wiring is directly inserted along the inlet hole 6 on the metal terminal chamber 2. Taking the top wiring as an example, as the wiring is inserted from the inlet hole 6, the installer pushes up the wrench traction head 9, and the wrench traction head 9 drives the wrench handle 8 to move upward along the first wrench groove 4 and the second wrench groove 5, and the elliptical pressing block 7 rotates to press the end of the wiring towards the metal elastic sheet 11. The metal elastic sheet 11 is stressed and contracts, and jointly clamps the wiring head with the elliptical pressing block 7. The installation process is fast and does not require the aid of tools, and the clamping force of the wiring is always consistent. When the circuit breaker is turned on, the circuit breaker operating handle 19 is in an upward position, and the back of the circuit breaker operating handle 19 fits against the pressure sensor 14. The pressure sensor 14 senses the pressure. When the circuit breaker trips, the circuit breaker operating handle 19 moves downward, and the pressure sensor 14 no longer senses the pressure. Then the micro buzzer 13 starts to emit a beep to remind the user to check in time. The lithium battery 17 on the circuit board 15 powers the micro buzzer 13 and the pressure sensor 14. The user can operate the mobile phone through the Bluetooth connection module 18 to check the remaining power of the lithium battery 17, etc. When the circuit breaker is assembled, it is usually stuck on the slide rail through the slide rail card slot 21. When the circuit breaker works independently, the release paper 25 on the back of the self-adhesive fixing plate 22 can be torn off, and then the surface where the self-adhesive coating 24 is located is pressed against the inner wall of the distribution box for quick installation, and the fixing screw 23 facilitates the removal and replacement of the self-adhesive fixing plate 22.
