[0021] Figure 5 This is a partial structural diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A self-locking mechanism for a circuit breaker includes a housing 1, a power source 2, a gear transmission mechanism 3, and a linkage rod 4 inside the housing. The power source drives the linkage rod to rotate through the gear transmission mechanism. The device also includes a locking plate 5, which is vertically and vertically mounted on the housing. The locking plate includes a locked position that cooperates with the linkage rod to prevent it from rotating and an unlocked position that is separated from the linkage rod. The locking plate is provided with a positioning block 51. A sliding plate 6 is slidably mounted on the housing in the horizontal direction and cooperates with the positioning block to limit the locking plate when the locking plate is in the locked position. When locking is required, the locking plate is pulled up. The bottom of the locking plate engages with the linkage rod to prevent the linkage rod from rotating. This part is existing technology. In this application, after the locking plate is pulled up, the sliding plate is pushed to engage with the positioning block on the locking plate to fix the locking plate and prevent it from descending. This is much more robust than relying solely on the stop groove for limiting. A sliding groove can be set in the horizontal direction of the upper wall of the housing. The top cover is not shown in the figure. The top cover can be symmetrically set with sliding grooves, and the locking plate moves within the sliding groove.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the housing is provided with a first opening groove 11, and at least part of the locking plate is movably installed in the first opening groove. The first opening groove is used for the locking plate to move up and down.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the housing is provided with a sliding groove 12, and the sliding plate slides in conjunction with the sliding groove. The sliding groove communicates with the first opening groove. The sliding plate moves within the sliding groove, and when the locking plate is in the locked position, it moves below the positioning block to prevent the locking plate from moving downward.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the housing is provided with a second opening groove 13, which is located above and communicates with the slide groove. The slide plate is provided with a boss 61, which is located within the second opening groove. The boss facilitates operation by allowing finger movements.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a support 14 is provided inside the housing, a stop block 141 is provided on the support, and a stop groove 54 that cooperates with the stop block is provided on the locking plate.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the locking plate is provided with a stop that cooperates with the linkage rod. This stop is used to limit the linkage rod when it is in the locked position.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the locking plate is provided with adjacent deformation grooves 52 and elastic arms 53, and the gear slot is provided on the elastic arm. Deformation can occur, facilitating gear switching.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a guide groove 122 is provided at the bottom of the slide, and a guide block 66 that cooperates with the guide groove is provided on the slide plate. This further increases the stability during sliding.

[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, there are two bosses.
