Simultaneously, the operator can rotate the rotating disk by pushing the switch, causing the rotary drive shaft to control the opening and closing of the switch. The worm gear rotates counterclockwise, causing the push block to move counterclockwise within the movable slot and contact the right side of the slot. This drives the mounting plate to rotate counterclockwise. The interlocking slot and locking block engage to rotate the rotating disk. The rotary drive shaft then engages with the locking slot on the side of the switch, controlling the circuit breaker to close.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a universal thickness miniature circuit breaker with automatic closing and opening functions, including a housing 1, and further including: a transmission mechanism 2 and a drive mechanism 3. The side of the transmission mechanism 2 is movably sleeved with the inner side wall of the housing 1, and the side of the drive mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1. The drive mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 301, the side of which is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1, and a worm gear 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 301. The transmission mechanism 2 includes a turntable 201, a worm wheel 203 is movably sleeved with the side of the turntable 201, and a mounting plate 202 is movably connected to the side of the worm wheel 203. The side is movably sleeved with the inner wall of the side of the housing 1. The bottom end of the worm gear 203 meshes with the top end of the worm 302. The side of the turntable 201 is fixedly connected to a rotary drive shaft 205, which is used to insert into the reserved slot in the switch device for driving. During the installation process, other components required by the circuit breaker are installed inside the housing 1, and it is ensured that the rotary drive shaft 205 is inserted into the reserved slot in the switch device. During use, the operator remotely controls the servo motor 301 to drive the worm 302 to rotate. The worm 302 and the worm gear 203 mesh with each other to drive the turntable 201 to rotate, thereby driving the rotary drive shaft 205 to drive the switch device, control the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, and realize remote control of the equipment.
[0022] The top of the turntable 201 is fixedly connected to the switch 204. The diameter of the turntable 201 is the same as the diameter of the mounting plate 202. The bottom of the switch 204 is movably connected to the top of the mounting plate 202. The operator can drive the turntable 201 to rotate by pushing the switch 204, so that the rotary transmission shaft 205 drives the switching device to control the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, thereby realizing manual control of the circuit breaker. The bottom of the switch 204 is close to the top of the mounting plate 202 to ensure stability when the switch 204 moves.
[0023] The servo motor 301 is equipped with a signal transmitting and receiving device. A battery is connected to the side of the servo motor 301. The battery serves as a backup power source to power the servo motor 301 and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The signal transmitting and receiving device is used to receive signals remotely sent by the operator to control the servo motor 301.
[0024] The rotating disk 201 has a mounting platform 208 fixedly connected to its side. The side of the mounting platform 208 is movably sleeved with the inner wall of the worm gear 203. A locking block 210 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting platform 208. A splicing groove 209 is provided on the side of the mounting disk 202, and the side of the splicing groove 209 meshes with the side of the locking block 210. A push block 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the worm gear 203. A movable groove 206 is provided on the side of the mounting disk 202 corresponding to the position of the push block 207. The side of the movable groove 206 is movably connected to the side of the push block 207. During installation, the mounting disk 202 can rotate freely when placed in the groove reserved on the inner wall of the side of the housing 1. The worm gear 201... Three sets are installed on the mounting platform 208, with push block 207 inserted into the movable slot 206 and locking block 210 inserted into the mounting platform 208. The worm gear 203 rotates counterclockwise, driving push block 207 to move, so that the side of push block 207 contacts the right side of movable slot 206, driving mounting plate 202 to rotate. Through the meshing of splicing slot 209 and locking block 210, the turntable 201 rotates counterclockwise, so that the rotary transmission shaft 205 drives the control circuit breaker to close. Then, the worm gear 302 starts in reverse, causing push block 207 to move to the left side of movable slot 206, making it convenient for the operator to manually push the opening and closing switch 204 to disconnect the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker operates normally and performs normal disconnection protection circuit.
[0025] Both the push block 207 and the movable slot 206 are fan-shaped structures. The angle difference between the push block 207 and the movable slot 206 is 135 degrees, which ensures that the push block 207 has enough room to move inside the movable slot 206, avoids interference of the worm gear 203 with the rotation of the turntable 201, and enables the circuit breaker to trip normally.
[0026] The housing 1, transmission mechanism 2 and worm gear 302 are all made of insulating plastic. The servo motor 301 is equipped with an aluminum alloy shell. The aluminum alloy shell isolates the external magnetic field and prevents the current in the circuit breaker from affecting the servo motor 301. The insulating plastic prevents the magnetic field generated by the current from affecting the transmission components.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the mounting plate 202 is placed inside the groove on the inner wall of the side of the housing 1, the worm gear 203 is fitted onto the mounting platform 208, and the push block 207 is engaged in the movable slot 206, with the locking block 210 inserted into the mounting platform 208. Other components required for the circuit breaker are installed inside the housing 1, ensuring that the rotary drive shaft 205 is inserted into the reserved slot of the switch device. The operator remotely sends a signal to the signal transmitting and receiving device inside the servo motor 301 to control the servo motor 301 to start and drive the worm gear 302 to rotate. Through the meshing of the worm gear 302 and the worm gear 203, the worm gear 203 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, causing the push block 207 to move counterclockwise with the worm gear 203 inside the movable slot 206 and to the right of the movable slot 206. The side contact causes the mounting plate 202 to rotate counterclockwise. The splicing groove 209 and the locking block 210 mesh with each other, causing the turntable 201 to rotate. The rotary transmission shaft 205 is engaged in the locking groove on the side of the switch device, controlling the circuit breaker to close. Then, the servo motor 301 is started in reverse, causing the push block 207 to rotate clockwise with the worm gear 203 to the left side of the movable groove 206. Sufficient space is left between the push block 207 and the right side of the movable groove 206 to ensure that the circuit will automatically trip and disconnect the circuit in case of a fault, realizing remote control of the equipment. The operator can also drive the turntable 201 to rotate by pushing the opening and closing gate 204, so that the rotary transmission shaft 205 controls the opening and closing of the switch device, avoiding interference of the worm gear 203 with the movement of the turntable 201.
