They can also be used for infrequent switching of circuits under normal conditions. Miniature circuit breakers are mainly used in various places such as industrial, commercial, high-rise, and residential buildings. A miniature circuit breaker consists of a housing, operating mechanism, and contact system. The housing includes a bottom shell and a top shell, which are riveted together by multiple rivets. During the production process, defective products need to be reworked. During rework, multiple rivets between the bottom shell and the top shell need to be removed to replace and repair the internal components of the circuit breaker.

[0003] In existing technologies, most rivets are removed using rivet removal devices. These devices have complex structures and high costs. When removing rivets, the upper ends of the multiple ejector pins lack guiding and positioning mechanisms, so the thrust of the multiple ejector pins cannot be reliably and accurately applied to the multiple rivets. When multiple ejector pins remove multiple rivets, the upper ends of the ejector pins are prone to bending or even breaking, which greatly affects the efficiency of rivet removal.
