When a short-circuit current flows through the magnetic release 11, in particular through the coil assembly 13, the short-circuit current momentarily energizes the moving core 12 of the magnetic release 11 to produce a horizontal movement, for example, a horizontal right movement, thereby striking the magnetically movable pull rod 4 to cause a release action.

For example, the second protrusion 6 may be provided at the other end of the movable contact support 71 opposite to the movable contact 74 and a side surface of the movable contact support 71 extends to protrude toward the magnetomotive pull rod 4. The disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first protrusion 5 and the second protrusion 6 may also have other arrangements, for example, the first protrusion 5 is disposed on the trip buckle 31, the second protrusion 6 is disposed on the magnetomotive pull rod 4, and so on, as long as the function of abutting against and pushing the trip buckle and/or the movable contact support can be achieved.
Illustratively, the circuit breaker may further include: the transmission component 8 and the operating mechanism 3 are respectively in transmission connection with the handle linkage component 2 and the moving contact component 7 through the transmission component 8. Specifically, the transmission assembly 8 may include a transmission rod 81 and a transmission plate 82, two ends of the transmission rod 81 are respectively mounted to the transmission plate 82 and a second portion 223 adjacent to the first portion 222 of the linkage base 221 of the handle linkage 22, the transmission plate 82 is connected to the movable contact assembly 7 through the first rotating shaft 9 and is jointly pivotally mounted on the housing 1, one end of the latch 32 is sleeved on the end of the transmission rod 81 connected to the transmission plate 82, the other end of the latch 32 is pivotally mounted on the transmission plate 82 through the second rotating shaft 822, and the jumper 31 is pivotally mounted on the transmission plate 82 through the third rotating shaft 823.

In this way, the concave portion 73 of the movable contact support 71 accommodates and is disposed coaxially with the transmission plate 82, so that the transmission plate 82 pivots together with the movable contact support 71. Specifically, the transmission plate 82 may be fixedly connected with the movable contact support 71 through a fitting feature, or may be elastically connected with the movable contact support 71 through an elastic member such as a torsion spring, a leaf spring, or the like.

It should be noted that the "snap connection" in the present disclosure is a connection method commonly used in the field of circuit breakers, and is used for snapping two parts with identical shapes together to form a whole. When the buckle is released, the two parts disengage and become two separate parts again.
For example, an elastic member 10 may be disposed between the transmission plate 82 and the housing 1, and the elastic member 10 biases the transmission plate 82 toward the opening position (e.g., horizontally leftward in fig. 1 and 2), so that the transmission plate 82 moves toward the opening position when the trip 31 is released from the latch 32, and thereby the movable contact assembly 7 connected to the transmission plate 82 moves toward the opening position to separate the movable contact 72 from the stationary contact 17, and at this time, the handle linkage assembly 2 is also switched from the position illustrated in fig. 1 to the position illustrated in fig. 2. The elastic member 10 may be, for example, a spring or other elastic elements commonly used in the art, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.

At this time, the following three situations may occur, such that the circuit breaker is switched from the on position to the off position, respectively:
the first condition is as follows: the handle operating portion 212 is manually operated to rotate the handle operating portion 212 counterclockwise at the closing position of the circuit breaker, so that the handle 21 rotates counterclockwise, and the handle linkage 23 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by the link 23. Further, the counterclockwise rotation of the handle linkage 23 will pull the transmission rod 81 to the left, which in turn will drive the transmission plate 82 and the operation mechanism 3 to rotate counterclockwise, so as to switch the circuit breaker from the on position shown in fig. 1 and 7 to the off position shown in fig. 2 and 8.

Further, the elastic member 10 may also provide an elastic force for switching the handle linkage assembly 2 from the position illustrated in fig. 1 to the position illustrated in fig. 2 during the switching of the circuit breaker from the on position to the off position.
Case three: when the circuit breaker is overloaded, the overcurrent is greater than the rated current, and the overcurrent flows through the thermal release 14, so that the bimetallic strip 16 is heated to generate bending deformation, and then the trip catch 31 and the lock catch 32 are driven to release the buckle connection, so that the circuit breaker is switched from the closing position to the opening position under the action of the elastic element 10.
