[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-12 A lever-type circuit breaker includes a plug assembly and a dust cap 1 sleeved on one end of the plug assembly. A housing 2 is sleeved on the other end of the plug assembly, and a lever 3 is connected to the end of the housing 2 away from the dust cap 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 3-4The ferrule assembly includes a housing 4, a connecting block 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the housing 4, and a ferrule module 6 is provided at the end of the connecting block 5 away from the housing 4; a spring seat 7 is provided at the end of the housing 4 away from the connecting block 5; a large spring 9 is provided inside the spring seat 7, one end of the large spring 9 is connected to the connecting block 5, and the other end of the large spring 9 is connected to the spring seat 7.

[0039] The end of the spring seat 7 away from the outer casing 4 is connected to an optical fiber return device 8. The optical fiber return device 8 includes an optical fiber return device base 10 and an optical fiber return device cover 11 connected to the optical fiber return device base 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, during practical application, the fiber optic return unit 8 contains an optical fiber. One end of the optical fiber is connected to the ferrule assembly, and the other end loops around the cylinder back to the origin. This structural feature is existing technology and is therefore not shown in the accompanying drawings. The connecting block 5 and ferrule module 6 are used to connect the return unit to an external interface, thereby enabling signal transmission. This fiber optic return unit is small in size and features a pull-rod unlocking function, making it easy to remove and replace. For internal issues, simply removing the top cover of the split spring seat allows for easy troubleshooting and replacement without disassembling the entire product. This integrated fiber optic return unit allows for higher density deployment, easier maintenance and line replacement, and significant savings in construction time, thus reducing overall project costs.

[0041] When the circuit breaker needs to be reset, the large spring 9 causes the ferrule assembly to reset. Here, by connecting the pull rod 3 at the rear end of the circuit breaker to the housing 2 at the front end, in a high-density environment, pushing or pulling the rear pull rod 3 moves the housing 2, which in turn moves the entire circuit breaker, thus enabling connection and unlocking.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 5-6 The spring seat 7 is a split type, comprising a lower spring seat base 12 and a upper spring seat cover 13 connected to the lower spring seat base 12. The lower spring seat base 12 has a first locking block 12-1 on both its front and rear surfaces near the connecting block 5. The lower spring seat base 12 has a slot 12-2 for inserting the upper spring seat cover 13. The lower spring seat base 12 has a second locking block 12-3 and a notch 12-4 on its side away from the connecting block 5. The upper surface of the lower spring seat base 12 also has a third locking block 12-5. The upper spring seat cover 13 has a first protrusion 13-1 near the fiber optic return unit 10, and the first protrusion 13-1 matches and connects with the notch 12-4.

[0043] In this embodiment, a split-type spring seat is adopted. Problems can be found and replacements can be easily made by pulling out the upper cover 13 of the spring seat, without having to disassemble the entire product. During assembly, the upper cover 13 of the spring seat is simply inserted into the slot 12-2 to install the upper cover 13 of the spring seat and the lower base 12 of the spring seat. This brings convenience to the assembly or replacement of optical fibers, provides multiple functions, and saves a lot of assembly time.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figures 8-9 The fiber optic return unit 8 has a first slot 10-1 at one end of its base 10 near the spring seat 7, and a vertically arranged cylinder 10-2 in the cavity at the other end of its base 10 away from the spring seat 7. The edge of the base 10 has an upward-facing fourth protrusion 10-3. The fiber optic return unit 8 has a second slot 11-1 at one end of its inner wall near the spring seat 7, and a concave third slot 11-2 at the edge of its inner wall. The inner wall of the fiber optic return unit 8 also has a downward-extending column 11-3, which is inserted into the cylinder 10-2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fiber optic return unit is small in size and features a pull-rod unlocking function, making it easy to remove and replace. In practical applications, when the split spring seat is installed with the fiber optic return unit, the first slot 10-1 engages with the second slot 12-3, the second slot 11-1 engages with the third slot 12-5, and both the column 11-3 and the cylinder 10-2 are elastic columns or cylinders, with the column 11-3 and cylinder 10-2 inserted into each other; the fourth protrusion 10-3 is inserted into the third slot 11-2. When the return unit needs to be replaced or repaired, the fiber optic return unit cover 11 is removed, and the spring seat cover 13 is pulled out to locate the problem. Replacement is convenient and does not require disassembling the entire product, saving time and effort.

[0046] Specifically, refer to Figure 10 The pull rod 3 includes a rod body 3-1. The end of the rod body 3-1 near the housing 2 is provided with two upwardly extending clamping blocks 3-2. The two clamping blocks 3-2 are arranged opposite each other, and the top of each clamping block 3-2 is provided with a horizontally arranged push-pull block 3-3. The end of the rod body 3-1 away from the housing 2 is provided with a through opening 3-4.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 12 The upper and lower surfaces of the outer side of the housing 2 are provided with grooves 2-1, and the end of the grooves 2-1 near the pull rod 3 is provided with a protrusion 2-2; the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wall of the housing 2 are provided with first guide blocks 2-3.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two clamping blocks 3-2 and the push-pull block 3-3 of the pull rod 3 are assembled with the groove surface 2-1 of the housing 2. By pushing and pulling the rear pull rod 3, the housing 2 is moved, which in turn moves the front connecting block 5, the insert module 6 and other components as a whole, thereby enabling connection and unlocking.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 11 The upper and lower surfaces of the outer shell 4 are respectively provided with a second protrusion 4-1 and a third protrusion 4-2, and a first guide groove 4-3 is formed between the second protrusion 4-1 and the third protrusion 4-2; the first guide block 2-3 can slide within the first guide groove 4-3; the first guide block 2-3 is in planar contact with the second protrusion 4-1, and the first guide block 2-3 is in inclined contact with the third protrusion 4-2; a first latch 4-4 is provided on the front and rear surfaces of the outer shell 4, and a small spring 14 is provided between the front and rear surfaces of the outer shell 4 and the inner wall of the shell 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the outer shell 4 moves under the action of the shell 2, the first locking block 12-1 can engage with the first locking slot 4-4 on the outer shell 4, causing the connecting block 5, the ferrule module 6, the spring seat 7, the fiber optic looper 8, etc. to move simultaneously, thereby realizing the unlocking and connection of the lever-type looper.

[0051] In use, when the lever-type return device is unlocked, pushing or pulling the lever 3 moves the housing 2 that is fitted with it. Since the housing 2 is fitted with the outer shell 4, the outer shell 4 moves, causing the front connecting block 5, ferrule module 6, etc., to move as well. The first locking block 12-1 engages with the first locking slot 4-4 on the outer shell 4, causing the spring seat 7 to move. The first locking slot 10-1 engages with the second locking block 12-3, and the second locking slot 11-1 engages with the third locking block 12-5, ultimately moving the entire fiber optic return device 8 to unlock. The large spring 9 resets the ferrule assembly; the two small springs 14 reset the housing 2, outer shell 4, etc., thus resetting the lever-type return device.

[0052] In summary, this utility model's return device is compact in size and features a pull rod unlocking function, facilitating the replacement of the fiber optic return device. Internally, it incorporates a split-type spring seat with an opening for easy inspection of problems, bringing convenience to fiber optic assembly or replacement. Its diverse functions save significant assembly time.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
