[0064] The circuit breaker can have multiple application scenarios when in use, and different application scenarios have different height requirements for the circuit breaker. In the prior art, the height of the circuit breaker is usually fixed, and sometimes it is difficult to meet the application requirements of multiple scenarios.
[0065] In order to solve the technical problem that some circuit breakers cannot be used due to height problems, the present application focuses on the circuit breaker handle A, and solves the technical problem that the use scenario of the circuit breaker is limited due to the height not meeting the requirements in some cases by changing the height of the circuit breaker handle A.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4The circuit breaker handle B provided by the application comprises a handle seat B1 and a handle cap B2; the handle seat B1 is used to be connected with a linkage structure inside the circuit breaker to drive the circuit breaker to close and open;
[0068] The number of the handle cap B2 is at least two, any one of the handle cap B2 can be detachably connected with the handle seat B1, and different handle caps B2 have different heights; the handle seat B1 is detachably connected with one of the plurality of handle caps B2.
[0069] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 Specifically, in the structure of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker handle B is an important component. Generally, part of the circuit breaker handle B is located outside the circuit breaker shell, another part of the circuit breaker handle B is located inside the circuit breaker shell, and the part of the circuit breaker handle B located inside the shell is connected with the linkage structure inside the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is used, the linkage structure can be driven by pulling the part of the circuit breaker handle B outside the shell, so as to close and open the circuit breaker.
[0070] The circuit breaker handle B provided by the application, at least part of the handle seat B1 is located inside the circuit breaker shell, so as to be connected with the linkage structure inside the circuit breaker; the handle cap B2 is arranged on the side of the handle seat B1 facing the outside of the circuit breaker, which is the part of the circuit breaker handle B located outside the shell, and the circuit breaker can be operated by means of the handle cap B2 to close and open the circuit breaker.
[0071] In the application, the circuit breaker handle B is divided into a handle seat B1 and a handle cap B2 which can be detached, and a handle seat B1 is equipped with a plurality of handle caps B2 at the same time, and different handle caps B2 have different heights; in this way, when the circuit breaker is used, the handle cap B2 with the required height can be matched according to the use scene of the circuit breaker, thereby solving the problem that the circuit breaker cannot be used due to the height not meeting the requirements in some cases.
[0072] It can be understood that the problem of excessively high height of the circuit breaker can be solved from multiple angles. The application solves the problem of excessively high height of the circuit breaker in some cases by improving the structure of the circuit breaker handle B, and the solution has the characteristics of simplicity and easy implementation.
[0073] In addition, in some scenes, the length of the force arm of the circuit breaker handle B can be changed by replacing the handle cap B2, so that the closing and opening of the circuit breaker can be more labor-saving.
[0074] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the application, a positioning structure B3 is arranged between the handle seat B1 and the handle cap B2, and the handle cap B2 is positioned and installed with the handle seat B1 through the positioning structure B3.
[0075] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, by arranging the positioning structure B3 between the handle seat B1 and the handle cap B2, when the handle cap B2 is connected with the handle seat B1, the handle cap B2 can determine the positional relationship between the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 through the positioning structure B3, and then the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 are fixed by the fastener.
[0076] Therefore, the circuit breaker handle B provided by the present application can ensure the accuracy of the relative position between the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1, and is beneficial to the subsequent fixation of the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1, and facilitates assembly.
[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 With Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the positioning structure B3 comprises a limiting protrusion B31 and a limiting groove B32 capable of being inserted, the shape of the limiting groove B32 is matched with the shape of the limiting protrusion B31; the side of the handle seat B1 for connecting with the handle cap B2 is provided with the limiting protrusion B31; and the side of the handle cap B2 for connecting with the handle seat B1 is provided with the limiting groove B32.
[0078] Specifically, in the present application, the shape of the limiting groove B32 is matched with the shape of the limiting protrusion B31, which means that after the limiting groove B32 and the limiting protrusion B31 are inserted, the limiting protrusion B31 can play a role of positioning the handle cap B2 through the limiting groove B32, and the position of the handle cap B2 on the handle seat B1 is determined.
[0079] Figure 5 For Figure 3 The structure schematic view of another perspective of the handle seat is shown in Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the circuit breaker handle B is the handle of a plastic shell circuit breaker. For the plastic shell circuit breaker, the side of the circuit breaker handle B for connecting with the linkage structure is generally provided with a relatively deep blind hole B14, which is matched with the connecting shaft of the linkage structure, and the connecting shaft is inserted into the blind hole B14, so that the circuit breaker handle B can better drive the linkage structure through the connecting shaft.

[0081] In summary, in the present application, the limiting protrusion B31 is arranged on the side of the handle seat B1 for connecting the handle cap B2, and the limiting groove B32 is arranged on the side of the handle cap B2 for connecting the handle seat B1; the limiting groove B32 and the limiting protrusion B31 cooperate to position the handle cap B2, and the limiting structure is simple and easy to implement, and the arrangement of the limiting structure does not affect the assembly of the handle seat B1 and the linkage structure.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In the present application, the circuit breaker handle B is composed of a handle seat B1 and a handle cap B2, and the handle cap B2 is generally located outside the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is operated to close or open, an acting force is applied through the handle cap B2 to make the circuit breaker close or open.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting protrusion B31 is arranged on the reference plane B11 of the handle seat B1, and the end surface of the side of the handle cap B2 for connecting the handle seat B1 is in contact with the reference plane B11; in this way, in the first direction D1, the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 are positioned.
[0085] In addition, the end surface of the side of the handle cap B2 for connecting the handle seat B1 is in contact with the reference plane B11, in this way, the connection between the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 is relatively tight, the force acting on the handle cap B2 can be better transmitted to the handle seat B1, and it is easier to control the circuit breaker through the handle cap B2.
[0086] Figure 8 For Figure 6 B-B cross-sectional view. Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the application, along the second direction D2, the limiting protrusion B31 includes opposite first and second sides, the first and second sides are the force side; the surface of the first side is the first surface B311, the surface of the second side is the second surface B312, the first surface B311 and the second surface B312 are both planes; the limiting groove B32 includes opposite first and second groove walls B321 and B322, the first and second groove walls B321 and B322 are both planes;

[0088] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in this application, in the second direction D2, the surfaces of the first and second sides of the limiting protrusion B31 are both planes. Correspondingly, the first and second groove walls B321 and B322 of the limiting groove B32 are also both planes, in the plugged state of the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1, the first surface B311 is in contact with the first groove wall B321, and the second surface B312 is in contact with the second groove wall B322, so that the positioning between the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 can be realized in the second direction D2.
[0089] In addition, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 8 , when the circuit breaker is operated, the handle cap B2 will apply force to the circuit breaker. In the second direction D2, the first and second sides of the limiting protrusion B31 are the force side and need to bear the external force applied to the circuit breaker. In this application, the first and second surfaces B311 and B312 are planes, and the first and second groove walls B321 and B322 are also planes, in the second direction D2, the limiting protrusion B31 and the limiting groove B32 are limited by large plane contact, so as to improve the positioning reliability of the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1.

[0093] The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.
[0094] Specifically, for reference Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, in the third direction D3, the first positioning groove B313 of the limiting protrusion B31 contacts the first limiting rib B323 in the limiting recess B32, and the second positioning groove B314 of the limiting protrusion B31 contacts the second limiting rib B324 in the limiting recess B32, so that the handle base B1 and the handle cap B2 can be positioned in the third direction D3.
[0095] In addition, for reference Figure 2 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, the third side and the fourth side are non-force-bearing sides, so that even if the contact area of the first positioning groove B313 and the first limiting rib B323, and the second positioning groove B314 and the second limiting rib B324 is small, the positioning requirement of the handle cap B2 and the handle base B1 in the third direction D3 can be met.

[0097] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the handle seat B1 comprises a seat body B12 and a connecting column B13 connected thereto,
[0098] When the handle seat B1 is installed on the circuit breaker, along the first direction D1, the seat body B12 is located in the housing of the circuit breaker, the connecting column B13 protrudes out of the housing of the circuit breaker, and one end of the connecting column B13 protruding out of the housing is detachably connected with the handle cap B2.
[0099] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the handle seat B1 comprises a seat body B12 and a connecting column B13 connected thereto, the seat body B12 is located in the housing of the circuit breaker, and the connecting column B13 protrudes out of the housing of the circuit breaker, so as to facilitate the dismounting and mounting of the handle cap B2.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the handle cap B2 is provided with a screw B4 mounting hole penetrating through the handle cap B2.
[0101] The limiting protrusion B31 is provided with a threaded hole matched with the screw B4 mounting hole, and the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 are fixedly connected through the screw B4.
[0102] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, along the first direction D1, the head of the screw B4 is located at the screw B4 mounting hole, and the shank of the screw B4 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole, so that the detachable connection of the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 can be realized.
[0103] Based on the above, when the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 are assembled, the handle cap B2 and the handle seat B1 are first positioned through the positioning structure B3, and then fastened and connected through the screw B4. This kind of connection structure has the characteristics of accurate positioning, reliable connection and convenient dismounting.
[0104] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a molded case circuit breaker comprising the circuit breaker handle B of any of the above.
[0105] The molded case circuit breaker may have various application scenarios when in use, and different application scenarios have different height requirements for the molded case circuit breaker.
[0106] It should be noted that the application scenarios mentioned in the present application include not only installation environments, requirements of different countries and regions, but also use environments. Taking the installation environment as an example, the molded case circuit breaker is generally installed with a distribution box or a power distribution cabinet, and the installation space is limited. In some cases, the height of the molded case circuit breaker may be too high to be installed. At this time, the shorter circuit breaker handle B can be replaced to solve the problem of the molded case circuit breaker being too high to be installed.
[0107] For example, in some foreign countries or regions, there are requirements for the overall height of the molded case circuit breaker. At this time, the height of the circuit breaker handle B can be selected to improve the compliance of the molded case circuit breaker.
[0108] For example, when the molded case circuit breaker is used, it sometimes needs to be connected with an external electric operator to control the closing and opening of the molded case circuit breaker. In this case, the molded case circuit breaker needs to have a higher handle, so that the circuit breaker handle B can be connected with the electric operator. Therefore, the molded case circuit breaker can be matched with a higher circuit breaker handle B.
[0109] In summary, the present application provides a molded case circuit breaker, which is matched with the circuit breaker handle B provided by the present application. Therefore, the molded case circuit breaker has higher compliance and wider use scenarios. In addition, the molded case circuit breaker of the present application has other beneficial effects, which can be seen from the beneficial effects of the circuit breaker handle B.
