The invention discloses a universal conversion switch with a magnetic
quenching function. The universal conversion switch comprises a square shaft, a contact box, a
cam, a movable
wafer, a static
wafer, a movable contact base and a reset spring. The movable
wafer is an elastic
metal sheet, and a static contact matched with a movable contact is arranged at one end of the static wafer. According to the universal conversion switch, only one movable contact and static contact pair is arranged in one electric loop, contact and separation of the movable contact and the static contact are conducted by using the reset spring-
back pressure of the movable wafer, the separation speed is high, the
breaking capacity is high, arcing and burning phenomena are not prone to occurring in the contacts, the stability of the universal conversion switch is improved, and the service life of the universal conversion switch is prolonged. Meanwhile, magnetic steel is arranged at the part, close to the static contact, in the contact box, the
magnetic field action direction of the magnetic steel enables electric arcs to move in the moving direction of the movable contact, the
magnetic field generated by the magnetic steel enables the electric arcs which may be generated because of large current breaking between the movable contact and the static contact to be lengthened, arc extinguishing is accelerated, and therefore the
breaking capacity and the reliability of the universal conversion switch are improved.
