Figure 2The schematic diagram of the main structure of the circuit breaker interlocking structure of the utility model is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The circuit breaker interlocking structure is arranged on the circuit breaker frame 1 and connected to the trip assembly 2. The circuit breaker interlocking structure includes a locking plate 4 and a limit plate 3. The trip assembly 2 includes a support shaft 21 and a trip lever 22. The support shaft 21 is arranged on the circuit breaker frame 1. The trip lever 22 is arranged on the support shaft 21. The locking plate 4 is rotatably arranged on the circuit breaker frame 1. Among them, a limit plate 3 is also arranged on the support shaft 21. The trip lever 22 and the limit plate 3 rotate along with the support shaft 21. During the execution of the tripping action, the trip lever 22 rotates forward along with the support shaft 21 to disconnect the circuit breaker circuit. In the closed state, the locking plate 4 is rotated, and the locking plate 4 contacts the positive surface of the limit plate 3, thereby limiting the rotation of the support shaft 21 and the trip lever 22. That is, after the locking plate 4 is locked, the trip assembly 2 can only be opened by rotating the locking plate 4 to complete the unlocking of the trip assembly 2. This greatly reduces the possibility of the operator misoperating the trip assembly 2 and accidentally tripping the circuit. Reducing erroneous tripping can ensure the stability of the circuit connected to the circuit breaker and protect the equipment in contact with the circuit. This will further improve the safety and reliability of the circuit system and enhance the operational efficiency of the circuit.

[0032] Preferably, the locking plate 4 includes a connecting section 42, a locking section 41, and a driving section 43. The connecting section 42 is rotatably connected to the circuit breaker frame 1. The connecting section 42 is positioned between the driving section 43 and the locking section 41. When the circuit breaker is closed, the locking plate 4 is rotated, and the locking section 41 contacts the stop plate 3. The driving section 43 rotates to connect to the connecting plate 5. By adjusting the angle between the locking section 41 and the driving section 43, the position of the connecting plate 5 on the circuit breaker frame 1 can be easily adjusted, facilitating the installation of the interlocking structure within the circuit breaker.

[0033] More preferably, the limit plate 3 is arranged parallel to the support shaft 21. In the closed state, the locking section 41 is perpendicular to the limit plate 3. The outer edge of the locking section 41 contacts the limit plate 3 to ensure the contact area and thus the contact stability.
