[0025] Embodiment two

[0026] In order to guarantee the accuracy of linkage tooth 5 and gear wheel 7 linkage, as shown in the attached Fig. 2 , gear assembly 6 includes driven tooth 601 and driving tooth 602, driven tooth 601 and linkage tooth 5 are engaged together, and simultaneously, driven tooth 601 and driving tooth 602 are engaged together, and driving tooth 602 is coaxially installed with gear wheel 7.

[0027] Further, linkage tooth 5, driven tooth 601 and driving tooth 602 are located inside partition plate 9, linkage tooth 5, driven tooth 601 and driving tooth 602 rotate respectively in linkage shaft 501, driven shaft 603 and main shaft 604, and the spacing of linkage shaft 501, driven shaft 603 and main shaft 604 gradually decreases with shell 1, guarantee that gear wheel 7 can protrude shell 1.

[0028] Embodiment three

[0029] In order to fix the position of the pull rod 3 after it moves, as shown in the figure, the locking assembly 8 comprises a ratchet bar 801, a positioning rod 802, a limiting tooth 803 and a torsion spring 804. The ratchet bar 801 is connected to the pull rod 3 through a spring 805. The limiting tooth 803 is fixed at one end of the positioning rod 802. The limiting tooth 803 rotates with the positioning rod 802 and can abut against the ratchet bar 801 to lock the ratchet bar 801. The positioning rod 802 is connected to the shell 1 through the torsion spring 804. The torsion spring 804 keeps the positioning rod 802 in a tendency of counterclockwise rotation. Fig. 3 In order to facilitate the rotation of the positioning rod 802, as shown in the figure, a wrench 806 is fixed at one end of the positioning rod 802.

[0030] Fig. 4 In order to fix the position of the positioning rod 802 after it rotates, as shown in the figure, a half-moon column 807 is integrally formed on the contact surface between the wrench 806 and the shell 1. A limiting groove 808 is formed on the shell 1. The half-moon column 807 is embedded in the limiting groove 808 to fix the position.

[0031] In order to prevent foreign matters from entering the inside of the shell 1, as shown in the figure, baffles 101 are arranged on both sides of the toothed wheel 7.

The guide rod 102 is fixed on the shell 1 through a nut.

[0032] The working principle is as follows:

[0033] Fig. 5 After the circuit breaker is opened, first, the toothed wheel 7 is rotated clockwise on the surface of the shell 1. The toothed wheel 7 drives the main shaft 604 to rotate, so that the driving teeth 602 rotate synchronously. Then, the driving teeth 602 drive the linkage teeth 5 through the driven teeth 601. Thus, the pull rod 3 is driven to move upward along the guide rod 102 by the rack 4 until the pull rod 3 abuts against the trip shaft 2 of the circuit breaker. At the same time, the ratchet bar 801 moves upward with the pull rod 3. The ratchet bar 801 is pressed by the inclined surface of the limiting tooth 803. When the pressing force of the inclined surface of the limiting tooth 803 disappears, the spring 805 resets the ratchet bar 801. When the pull rod 3 abuts against the trip shaft 2 of the circuit breaker, the position of the pull rod 3 is locked by the abutment between the horizontal surface of the limiting tooth 803 and the horizontal surface of the ratchet bar 801.
