DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application discloses a drawer linkage structure. Figure 1 The structure is arranged between the circuit breaker 21 and the drawer so that the switch of the circuit breaker 21 can be opened and closed from the outside of the drawer. The drawer linkage structure includes a handle 1, a mounting frame 2, a paddle 3 and a transmission mechanism.

[0040] The handle 1 is pivoted on the drawer, with one end extending from the drawer door panel to the outer wall of the drawer, allowing the operator to move the handle 1 from outside the drawer. A mounting bracket 2 is installed in the drawer and serves as a mounting base for other components, including a circuit breaker 21.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The paddle 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 2 via a rotating shaft, and the rotation axis is perpendicular to the toggle direction of the circuit breaker 21. In particular, the paddle 3 is provided with a clearance groove 4, which is used to accommodate the circuit breaker 21, so that the circuit breaker 21 can be moved when the paddle 3 is swung.

[0042] The transmission mechanism, located between the handle 1 and the paddle 3, transmits power. When the operator rotates the handle 1, the transmission mechanism converts this rotation into a swinging motion of the paddle 3. This swinging motion controls the movement of the circuit breaker 21, opening and closing the circuit breaker 21. The transmission mechanism includes an output member 8 and a linkage assembly 9. The linkage assembly 9 is mounted in the drawer and operatively linked to the handle 1. The linkage assembly also engages with the output member 8, driving the output member 8 vertically up and down as the handle 1 rotates.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the output member 8 is cylindrical and extends horizontally and perpendicular to the rotation axis of the handle 1. The mounting bracket 2 has a portion extending opposite the output member 8. The output member 8 passes through the mounting bracket 2 and has a travel hole 18 on the mounting bracket 2 for the output member 8 to slide up and down. Simultaneously, the output member 8 slides on the paddle 3, which has a linkage slot 10 for the output member 8 to slide through. The linkage slot 10 extends in an oblique direction relative to the direction of movement of the output member 8. This allows the output member 8 to swing the paddle 3 about its corresponding rotation axis as it moves up and down, causing the paddle 3 to push the circuit breaker 21 switch relative to the circuit breaker 21 body to either an on-circuit or short-circuit state.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 Furthermore, a guide member 5 is fixed on the mounting frame 2. The guide member 5 is in the shape of a column with an axis parallel to the axis of the output member 8. The guide member 5 passes through the paddle 3. A guide hole 6 is provided on the paddle 3 for the guide member 5 to slide. The guide hole 6 is in the shape of an arc with an axis coaxial with the rotating axis of the paddle 3. The guide member 5 slides in the guide hole 6 to guide the swing of the paddle 3, thereby improving the stability of the swing of the paddle 3.

[0045] Furthermore, two clamping pieces 7 are fixed to the guide member 5. These two clamping pieces 7 are spaced apart axially along the guide member 5 and are annular in shape, with an outer diameter larger than that of the guide member 5. The two clamping pieces 7 abut opposite sides of the plectrum 3, respectively, to enhance the stability of the plectrum 3 and improve the accuracy of its swinging motion. Furthermore, the guide hole 6 extends through the edge of the plectrum 3, facilitating assembly of the guide member 5 while minimizing interference with the normal swinging motion of the plectrum 3.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3More specifically, the linkage assembly 9 includes a gear 91 and a rack 92. Gear 91 is coaxially fixed to the end of the handle 1 located in the drawer. Rack 92 moves up and down on the mounting bracket 2 and meshes with gear 91. The output member 8 is fixed to the side of the rack 92 facing away from the gear 91. A guide post 19 is also fixed to the rack 92, which slides up and down in the travel hole 18. The guide post 19 and the output member 8 guide the movement of the rack 92 together. When the handle 1 is turned, the gear 91 drives the rack 92 to move, thereby driving the output member 8 to move in a linear direction.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the handle 1 includes a central axis 101 and an operating handle 102. A rotating base 20 is fixed in the drawer, and the central axis 101 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 20. As the rotation center of the handle 1, the gear 91 is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the central axis 101. The operating handle 102 is cylindrical with a hollow interior. One end of the operating handle 102 is coaxially sleeved on the central axis 101 and can move along the axial direction of the central axis 101. The end of the operating handle 102 away from the central axis 101 passes through the drawer door panel and extends to the outside of the drawer, making it convenient for the operator to operate. Among them, a travel portion 14 protruding from the outer wall of the central axis 101 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the central axis 101 away from the rotating base 20, and a travel groove 15 for the sliding of the travel portion 14 is provided on the inner wall of the operating handle 102 along a direction parallel to its own axial direction to guide the movement of the operating handle 102 relative to the central axis 101.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 To enable the operating handle 102 to move and rotate the central axis 101, a fixed limit post 11 is installed in the drawer. The limit post 11 extends perpendicular to the axial direction of the operating handle 102. The outer wall of the operating handle 102, located within the drawer, is provided with a limit slot 12 and an adjustment slot 13, into which the limit post 11 abuts and allows for sliding movement. There are two limit slots 12 spaced circumferentially around the operating handle 102. Both limit slots 12 extend axially along the operating handle 102 and correspond to the on and off states of the circuit breaker 21, respectively. The adjustment slot 13 connects the ends of the two limit slots 12 closest to the drawer panel and extends circumferentially along the central axis 101. When the operating handle 102 is moved, the limit post 11 can be switched between the two limit slots 12 and the adjustment slot, thereby controlling the on and off states of the circuit breaker 21.

[0049] In particular, the part of the operating handle 102 located in the drawer is also coaxially sleeved and rotated with a ring protrusion 16, and an elastic member 17 is connected between the ring protrusion 16 and the inner wall of the drawer door panel. The elastic member 17 is a spring sleeved on the operating handle 1. The elastic force of the spring drives the ring protrusion 16 to move toward the drawer door panel, so that the operating handle 102 has a tendency to make the limiting column 11 and the limiting groove 12 away from one end of the adjustment groove 13 cooperate, so that when the limiting column 11 is opposite to any limiting groove 12, the operating handle 1 is driven by the spring to move toward the drawer door panel, so that the limiting column 11 remains in a state of abutting against the end of the limiting groove 12 away from the adjustment groove 13, so as to limit the rotation of the operating handle 102 relative to the drawer in a natural state, so that the operating handle 102 is not easily rotated by mistake.

[0050] When the operator needs to switch the circuit breaker 21 to the on state, he presses the operating handle 102 to slide the limit column 11 into the adjustment slot 13, then rotates the operating handle 102 to align the limit column 11 with the limit slot 12 corresponding to the on state of the circuit breaker 21. The transmission mechanism will then drive the paddle 3 to switch the circuit breaker 21 to the on state. Similarly, when the circuit breaker 21 needs to be switched to the off state, the operator presses the operating handle 102 to align the limit column 11 with the limit slot 12 corresponding to the off state of the circuit breaker 21. The transmission mechanism will then drive the paddle 3 to switch the circuit breaker 21 to the off state.

[0051] The implementation principle of a drawer linkage structure in an embodiment of the present application is: after pressing the operating handle 102, the operating handle 102 is rotated, and the linkage transmission mechanism drives the paddle 3 to toggle the switch of the circuit breaker 21, so that the switch of the circuit breaker 21 is toggled to the on state or short circuit state of the circuit breaker 21.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
