[0024] Furthermore, the upper valve 3 is movably connected to the outer frame 1 via the middle partition 2, and the upper valve 3 is movably connected to the lower valve 31 via the middle partition 2. The upper valve 3 and the lower valve 31 are movably connected to the upper and lower sides of the surface of the middle partition 2, and the positions of the upper valve 3 and the lower valve 31 are adjusted by the valve pushing mechanism 4.

[0025] Furthermore, there are two sets of slots 32, and each set of slots 32 has four slots. Slots 32 are provided on both sides of the upper valve 3. The upper valve 3 is movably connected to the connecting rod 41 through the slots 32. The upper valve 3 and the lower valve 31 are sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 41 through the slots 32. The connecting rod 41 is distributed on both sides of the upper valve 3, making the movement of the upper valve 3 and the lower valve 31 more stable.

[0026] Furthermore, the valve pushing mechanism 4 and the connecting rod 41 are movably connected. The upper valve 3 is movably connected to the valve pushing mechanism 4 via the connecting rod 41, and the valve pushing mechanism 4 is movably connected to the lower valve 31 via the connecting rod 41. When the circuit breaker 10 is pushed to the working position, the upper valve 3 and the lower valve 31 are opened by the valve pushing mechanism 4, thereby realizing the connection between the circuit breaker 10 and the middle partition 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a grounding switch 7 is movably connected to the lower end of the partition 2, a lower contact box 8 is movably connected to the surface of the partition 2, an upper contact box 9 is movably connected to the upper end of the partition 2, and a circuit breaker 10 is movably connected to the surface of the outer frame 1.
