[0002] Low-voltage switchgear is suitable for power transmission, distribution, and conversion in industries such as power plants, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, textiles, and high-rise buildings. Low-voltage drawer cabinets typically consist of a cabinet body, drawer doors, and a power distribution unit (PDU). The PDU is typically installed within the drawer, and the drawer doors and PDU are connected via a switch operating mechanism.

[0003] However, the small molded case circuit breakers in existing low-voltage drawer cabinets typically have a mechanical opening and closing lifespan of tens of thousands of times, while the corresponding operating mechanism is only required to undergo 500 tests according to national standards. Routine electrical maintenance is typically performed at regular intervals, such as once a year. While intelligent circuit breakers can record the number of times molded case switches are opened and closed, standard molded case circuit breakers lack this feature, making it impossible to count the number of times the operating mechanism is used. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a switch operating mechanism for a low-voltage drawer cabinet to solve the problem mentioned in the background art above that the small molded case circuit breakers in existing low-voltage drawer cabinets usually have a mechanical opening and closing life of tens of thousands of times, while the corresponding operating mechanism has a test requirement of only 500 times according to the national standard. In the daily electrical maintenance process, routine maintenance is usually carried out at time intervals, such as once a year. However, while intelligent circuit breakers can record the number of times the molded case switch is opened and closed, ordinary molded case circuit breakers do not have this function, and therefore the number of times the operating mechanism is used cannot be counted.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a switch operating mechanism for a low-voltage drawer cabinet, comprising a drawer body, a mounting cavity being defined in the drawer body, a molded case circuit breaker being mounted in the mounting cavity, a knob switch being rotatably connected to the front end face of the drawer body, and the knob switch and the molded case circuit breaker being connected via a switch operating mechanism, a counter being fixedly mounted on one side of the molded case circuit breaker in the mounting cavity, and the counter being connected to the switch operating mechanism via a pull wire.

[0006] Preferably, the switch operating mechanism includes a square shaft, a fixing frame and an auxiliary operating mechanism. The fixing frame is fixedly installed in the installation cavity. One end of the square shaft is connected to the rear end of the knob switch, and the other end of the square shaft passes through the fixing frame and is connected to the molded case circuit breaker. An auxiliary operating mechanism is installed on one side of the fixing frame in the installation cavity, and the auxiliary operating mechanism is connected to the square shaft through a driving member.

[0007] Preferably, a rotation opening is provided in the middle of the surface of the fixing frame, and a square shaft is rotatably connected in the rotation opening.

[0008] Preferably, a first connecting piece is fixedly connected to the surface of the square shaft between the fixing bracket and the molded case circuit breaker, and a first connecting position is provided on the surface of the first connecting piece.

[0009] Preferably, the counter is rotatably connected to a side close to the square shaft with a second connecting piece for controlling the number of times the counter counts, and a second connecting position is provided on the surface of the second connecting piece.

[0010] Preferably, the first connection position and the second connection position are connected by a pull wire.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] Combined with the structural design of the utility model, by turning the knob switch, when the molded case circuit breaker is closed, the square shaft rotates, the first connecting piece on the square shaft drives the pull wire, and the pull wire drives the second connecting piece installed on the mechanical counter. Each time the circuit breaker is closed, the count is increased by one, thereby effectively solving the problems raised in the background technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
