[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting current under normal circuit conditions and closing, carrying, and interrupting current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. In home decoration and renovation, circuit breakers are core equipment for ensuring circuit safety. Existing circuit breakers are typically installed inside a home distribution box, which has a back frame. The circuit breaker is mounted on the back frame surface via two clips on the back, connected by springs. During installation, external force compresses the spring in the lower clip, causing the upper clip to lock into place on the back frame surface, thus securing the circuit breaker. However, due to repeated disassembly and reassembly, the springs are prone to failure, leading to loosening of the circuit breaker over time. Furthermore, the limited space inside the distribution box makes it inconvenient to move, disassemble, and replace damaged circuit breakers later. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a circuit breaker housing, including a main body 1, a mounting groove 2 on one side of the main body 1, and a connecting insert 3 fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting groove 2. Two connecting inserts 3 are symmetrically distributed within the mounting groove 2. The connecting inserts 3 and the main body 1 are integrally formed. The connecting insert 3 includes an insert body 31, and the surface of the insert body 31 is provided with a first inclined surface 32 and a second inclined surface 33. The first inclined surface 32 is located on the side near the back of the main body 1, and the second inclined surface 33... The surface is also provided with a second slot 34. The cross-section of the second slot 34 is arc-shaped. The angle between the first inclined surface 32 and the horizontal plane is 3-8°, and the angle between the second inclined surface 33 and the horizontal plane is 15-20°. The second inclined surface 33 facilitates the deformation of the buckle and its sliding into the first inclined surface 32 during insertion and installation. The first inclined surface 32 and the second slot 34 ensure that the outer shell body 1 can be subjected to a component force perpendicular to the back frame, so that the outer shell body 1 is close to the back frame, improving stability. The arc-shaped slot facilitates the installation and removal of the buckle.

[0022] The top and bottom of the outer casing 1, near the mounting groove 2, are provided with slots 4. The cross-section of slot 4 forms a right-angled triangle with the horizontal plane. A guide slope 5 is provided on the side of slot 4 near the back of the outer casing 1, with the included angle between the guide slope 5 and the horizontal plane being 35-40°. The slots 4 increase the support spacing compared to existing circuit breaker fixing structures, and together with the connecting inserts 3, further improve the stability of the circuit breaker.

[0023] Anti-slip protrusions 6 are provided on the top and bottom of the main body 1 and on the side near the front of the main body 1, which facilitates the plugging and unplugging of the circuit breaker.

[0024] A mounting bracket includes a circuit breaker housing as described above, and also includes a back plate 7. The back plate 7 has a cross-section in the shape of "]". The width of the back plate 7 is equal to the width of the mounting groove 2. A first snap plate 8 with a snap-fit ​​groove 34 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the back plate 7. A second snap plate 9 with a snap-fit ​​groove 4 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the back plate 7. The surface of the back plate 7 is also provided with mounting holes 10.

[0025] The distance between one side of the connecting insert 3 and the mounting groove 2 is equal to the thickness of the back plate 7. After the outer shell body 1 is installed in place, one side of the back plate 7 abuts against the surface of the mounting groove 2. After installation, one side of the connecting insert 3 is close to the inner wall of the back plate 7. At the same time, the top of the back plate 7 contacts the surface of the mounting groove 2, so that one side of the back plate 7 is inserted between the connecting insert 3 and the mounting groove 2. Meanwhile, the connecting insert 3 can also be engaged with the first snap plate 8, thus fixing the circuit breaker housing.

[0026] The surfaces of the first snap plate 8 and the second snap plate 9 are provided with equally spaced dividing seams 11 along their length. The dividing seams 11 prevent the impact on adjacent circuit breakers during installation or disassembly. The dividing seams 11 divide the surface of the snap plate into smaller snap pieces, which are more prone to deformation than a whole piece, reducing the force required for installation or disassembly.

[0027] The second snap plate 9 has an arc-shaped plate 12 on one side that matches the guide slope 5. During installation, the arc-shaped plate 12 first contacts the guide slope 5, causing the second snap plate 9 to deform, thus facilitating the insertion of the circuit breaker. The first snap plate 8 also has an arc-shaped protrusion on one side that matches the second slot 34.

[0028] The first clip plate 8 and the second clip plate 9 are made of spring steel, which is not easily deformed and has strong resettlement properties, thus preventing the circuit breaker from loosening later.

[0029] During installation, align the connecting insert 3 with the gap between the first snap plate 8 and the back plate 7. At this time, the arc plate 12 contacts the guide slope 5, and one side of the first snap plate 8 contacts the first slope 32. Continue to apply a force perpendicular to the surface of the back plate 7, causing the first snap plate 8 and the second snap plate 9 to deform. At this time, the outer shell body 1 moves towards the back plate 7 until the arc plate 12 contacts the surface of the first slot 4 and the arc protrusion on the surface of the first snap plate 8 contacts the second slope 33. Then, the arc protrusion on the surface of the first snap plate 8 quickly enters the second slot 34. At this time, one side of the back plate 7 abuts against the surface of the mounting groove 2, completing the installation of the circuit breaker. When disassembly is required, break free from the clamping force of the snap plate and pull it out directly.
