In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Such as Figure 1-2 It is a schematic structural diagram of a plastic case circuit breaker with an operating handle in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. In this embodiment, a plastic case circuit breaker with an operating handle includes a circuit breaker body 1 and an operating device 6 arranged on the top surface of the circuit breaker body 1. Fixing positions 11 are provided around the surface of the circuit breaker body 1, and a circuit breaker switch 13 is arranged in the middle of the top surface of the circuit breaker body 1. The closing and opening functions of the circuit breaker body 1 can be controlled through the circuit breaker switch 13. The operating device 6 includes a fixed seat 2, an operating mechanism 5, and an operating handle 3. First fixing pieces 21 are fixedly connected to the relative positions of the fixing positions 11 around the bottom of the fixed seat 2. The first fixing pieces 21 are threadedly connected to the fixing positions 11 through fasteners 12, so as to realize the fixed installation of the fixed seat 2 on the surface of the circuit breaker body 1. An operating handle 3 that can rotate is arranged on the top surface of the fixed seat 2. A rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the operating handle 3, and the rotating rod 4 passes through the fixed seat 2 and is fixedly connected to the operating mechanism 5. The operating mechanism 5 is in contact with the surface of the circuit breaker switch 13. The above structure enables the operator to directly rotate the operating handle 3 to drive the operating mechanism 5 through the rotating rod 4 to push the circuit breaker switch 13, thereby realizing the closing and opening functions of the circuit breaker body 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the operating mechanism 5 includes a connecting piece 51, a rotating column 52, a guide rod 53 and a clamping assembly 54. One end of the top surface of the connecting piece 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 4, and an activity groove 511 is formed at the other end of the top surface of the connecting piece 51. The rotating column 52 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the fixed seat 2. One end of the top of the clamping assembly 54 rotates around the rotating column 52, and the other end of the top of the clamping assembly 54 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 53, and the guide rod 53 is slidably connected in the activity groove 511. The clamping assembly 54 is in contact with the surface of the circuit breaker switch 13. With this structural design, when the rotating rod 4 rotates under the action of the operating handle 3, it drives the connecting piece 51 inside the fixed seat 2 to rotate. Through the activity groove 511 on the surface of the connecting piece 51, the clamping assembly 54 rotates around the rotating column 52 through the cooperation of the activity groove 511 and the guide rod 53 to achieve the function of left and right displacement, so as to realize the closing and opening of the circuit breaker switch 13 through the clamping assembly 54.

A connecting port 546 is formed in the middle of the fixing piece 541, and the circuit breaker switch 13 is connected in the connecting port 546. The clamping blocks 542 are symmetrically arranged between the two second fixing pieces 541, and the clamping blocks 542 are movable on both sides of the connecting port 546. The clamping function of the circuit breaker switch 13 is realized through the clamping block 543.

[0024] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 545 is formed on the surface of the clamping block 542, and a plurality of fixing holes 543 are evenly arranged on the surface of the second fixing piece 541. With this structural design, it can be adjusted according to different sizes of the circuit breaker switch 13. By the surfaces of the two clamping blocks 542 being in contact with the surface of the circuit breaker switch 13 respectively, it is ensured that the clamping block 542 can be clamped with the circuit breaker switch 13 to avoid gaps, which may cause the situation that the circuit breaker switch 13 cannot be opened and closed in place. A fixing rod 544 is inserted and connected in the fixing hole 543 and the connecting hole 545, and the clamping block 542 is fixed between the two second fixing pieces 541 through the fixing rod 544.
