The circuit breaker further includes a locking member and a linkage member arranged inside the housing. The linkage member is provided with an abutting protruding stand. The locking member is provided with a locking protruding stand. When the button mechanism is in the closing position, the abutting protruding stand of the linkage member extends out of the housing and is limited by the button mechanism at an extension position, so that it cannot retract into the housing. When the button mechanism is in the opening position, the linkage member retracts into the housing, the locking protruding stand of the locking member extends out of the housing, and the locking protruding stand of the locking member can be pushed back into the housing.

A plug-in circuit breaker that includes a circuit breaker housing with a limiting hole and a opening and closing button. The circuit breaker further includes a locking member rotatably arranged inside the circuit breaker housing with an upper portion close to the limiting hole provided with a locking protrusion fitting. A lower portion of the circuit breaker housing is provided with a locking driving surface fitting with the opening and closing button. When the limiting hole is not shielded, the opening and closing button jacks up the locking driving surface to enable the locking protrusion to extend out of the limiting hole. The plug-in circuit breaker is closed when the limiting hole is shielded, so that the locking protrusion cannot extend out of the limiting hole. The locking driving surface limits the opening and closing button, so that the opening and closing button cannot press to the destined position.

A plug-in circuit breaker that includes a housing with a limiting hole, a button mechanism having a closing position and an opening position, and an operating mechanism actuated by the button mechanism. The plug-in circuit breaker includes a locking member arranged inside the housing. The locking member has a locking protruding stand opposite the limiting hole. When the button mechanism is in the closing position, the locking protruding stand of the locking member extends out of the limiting hole and limited by the button mechanism. When the button mechanism is in the opening position, the locking protruding stand of the locking member extends out of the limiting hole to apply an external force on the locking member for retraction. The locking protruding stand of the locking member can retract into the housing, and the locking member limits the button mechanism to perform the closing operation.

A plug-in circuit breaker with an operating button that includes a button inner end inserted inside the circuit breaker and a button outer end. An indicator slot is arranged inside the operating button, an indicating hole is arranged on the button outer end. The plug-in circuit breaker further includes an indicating member slidably inserted inside the indicator slot and one end of which is provided with a make-contact indicating surface and a break-contact indicating surface. When the plug-in circuit breaker is in a break-contact state, the break-contact indicating surface is arranged opposite to the indicating hole, thus during pressing the operating button, the indicating member moves inside the indicator slot. After the make-contact state, the make-contact indicating surface is arranged opposite to the indicating hole. The indicating member is arranged inside the operating button to save space and to indicate the break-contact and make-contact state through the indicating hole.

STATUS INDICATOR FOR SWITCHGEAR

A switchgear assembly includes an indicator assembly to indicate whether a movable contact is in an open or a closed position. The indicator assembly includes an indicator body having first and second sections. The indicator body is rotatable to display the first section in the open position and the second section in the closed position. The indicator assembly also includes a drive gear having a first helical spline and coupled to an actuator of the switchgear assembly such that operation of the actuator moves the drive gear, and an elongated driven gear having a second helical spline extending along a length of the driven gear and engaged with the first helical spline of the drive gear such that movement of the drive gear rotates the driven gear. The driven gear is coupled to the indicator body such that rotation of the driven gear causes rotation of the indicator body.
