Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a dual power vacuum circuit breaker. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dual power vacuum circuit breaker is mainly applied to the dual power supply system of alternating current 50 Hz, rated voltage 12 KV and rated current 630 A. When one power supply is powered off or under-voltage, the 12 KV high-voltage dual power automatic switching is switched on, and the switch is normally powered to reliably ensure the continuity of power supply. The structure of the traditional dual power vacuum circuit breaker is shown in the Chinese invention patents with the application publication number "CN111354596 A" and the name "dual power switch vacuum circuit breaker" or the application publication number "CN111785566 A" and the name "dual power vacuum circuit breaker". It includes a rack, a fixed pole column arranged in a three-phase distribution manner at the front end of the rack, a main circuit breaker operating mechanism and a standby circuit breaker operating mechanism arranged at the rear end of the rack. Each phase fixed pole column includes a first power circuit and a second power circuit. The main circuit breaker operating mechanism and the standby circuit breaker operating mechanism control the on / off of the first power circuit and the second power circuit through the linkage mechanism on the main shaft, respectively. An interlocking mechanism is arranged between the main circuit breaker operating mechanism and the standby circuit breaker operating mechanism. When the main circuit breaker operating mechanism is in the closed state, the standby circuit breaker operating mechanism is locked by the interlocking mechanism, so that it cannot be closed. Conversely, when the standby circuit breaker operating mechanism is in the closed state, the main circuit breaker operating mechanism is locked by another interlocking mechanism, so that it cannot be closed. The front patent has the following shortcomings: as shown in the Figures 5-9 , the connecting rod of the interlocking mechanism is longitudinally arranged in the rack, the length of the connecting rod is very long, which leads to the decrease of the sensitivity and stability of the interlocking mechanism, and a large installation space is required. The latter patent has the following shortcomings: as shown in the Figure 3 , the connecting rod of the interlocking mechanism is transversely arranged at both ends of the rack. Although the length of the connecting rod is shortened, the fixed pole column needs to be installed longitudinally, which leads to the increase of the product height, and a long locking connecting rod is required to cooperate with it. In addition, the traditional interlocking mechanism adopts a common snap spring to connect the shaft, which has poor stability and is easy to fall off during the opening and closing process. SUMMARY

[0025] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the dual-power vacuum circuit breaker of the present invention includes a frame 1, solid-sealed poles 2 arranged in a three-phase configuration at the front end of the frame 1, a main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 and a standby circuit breaker operating mechanism 4 located at the rear end of the frame 1. Each solid-sealed pole 2 includes an insulating shell and a vacuum interrupter chamber disposed within the insulating shell, with a moving iron core 17 mounted on the vacuum interrupter chamber. Each phase of the solid-sealed pole 2 includes a first power circuit 5 and a second power circuit 6, with a power output terminal 53 located between the first power circuit 5 and the second power circuit 6. The main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 and the standby circuit breaker operating mechanism 4 control the on / off states of the first power circuit 5 and the second power circuit 6 respectively via a linkage mechanism 8 on the main shaft 7. The linkage mechanism 8 includes two crank arms 11 rotatably mounted on a fixed base 10 via a first connecting shaft 9, two first linkage rods 13 rotatably mounted at the lower ends of the two crank arms 11 via a second connecting shaft 12, a lower connecting seat 15 rotatably mounted at the lower ends of the two first linkage rods 13 via a third connecting shaft 14, and an upper connecting seat 16 rotatably mounted at the upper ends of the two crank arms 11. The fixed base 10 is welded inside the frame 1. The upper connecting seat 16 is bolted to the moving iron core 17 on the fixed end post 2, and the lower connecting seat 15 is connected to the main shaft 7. Each crank arm 11 includes an upper crank arm 111 and a lower crank arm 112, which are set at an obtuse angle. The lower crank arm 112 and the first linkage rod 13, as well as the first linkage rod 13 and the lower connecting seat 15, are set at acute angles. When the main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 is closed, its main shaft 7 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow, and drives the linkage of the lower connecting seat 15, the first linkage rod 13, and the crank arm 11, causing the crank arm 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby pushing the moving iron core 17 of the solid-sealed pole 2 forward and closing.

[0026] Preferably, the included angle between the upper arm 111 and the lower arm 112 is 90°<α<120°, and most ideally 120°, and in the reset state, the included angle between the lower arm 112 and the first linkage rod 13 is 60°<β<80°, and most ideally 70°, and the included angle between the first linkage rod 13 and the lower connecting seat 15 is 60°<γ<80°, and most ideally 75°. With the above angle settings, the sensitivity and stability of the linkage mechanism 8 are optimal.

[0027] Preferably, the first connecting shaft 9, the second connecting shaft 12, the third connecting shaft 14, the upper connecting seat 16 and the lower connecting seat 15 are each provided with an integral snap spring 18, the integral snap spring 18 comprising a clamping plate 20 provided with a "U"-shaped slot 19, the clamping plate 20 being integrally formed with a retreat-stop plate 21 at the upper end, the retreat-stop plate 21 being provided with a shaft hole 22 at the middle portion, the retreat-stop plate 21 being provided with a retreat-stop portion 23 close to the clamping plate 20 at the lower end, the retreat-stop portion 23 being provided with an inclined guide surface 24 at the lower end, and the clamping plate 20 being formed with a positioning plate 25 abutting against the guide surface 24 by bending at the lower end. When assembled, the "U"-shaped slot 19 of the clamping plate 20 is clamped into the clamping slot of the connecting shaft end, and the connecting shaft end extending into the shaft hole 22 of the retreat-stop plate 21 is clamped to stop the retreat of the clamping plate 20 and prevent it from falling off.

[0028] Preferably, the retreat-stop plate 21 is integrally formed with a positioning spring 26, and when the integral snap spring 18 is assembled, the positioning spring 26 presses against the outer side surface of the connecting shaft end, so that the integral snap spring 18 can be more stably retained on the connecting shaft.

[0029] Preferably, the interlocking mechanism between the main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 and the backup circuit breaker operating mechanism 4 comprises a trigger head 27 fixed on the main shaft 7, a first interlocking rod 28 slidably arranged in the rack 1, a first reset spring 29 for driving the first interlocking rod 28 to reset upward, a second linkage rod 30 arranged below the first interlocking rod 28, and a third linkage rod 31 shaft-connected below the second linkage rod 30. The upper end of the second linkage rod 30 is shaft-connected with a rotary proximity switch trigger plate 32, and the middle part of the rotary proximity switch trigger plate 32 is rotatably mounted on the rack 1. A proximity switch 33 is arranged beside the rotary proximity switch trigger plate 32.

The lower end of the third linkage rod 31 is shaft-connected with a rotary limit frame 35, and the rotary limit frame 35 is provided with a reset torsional spring 36 and a limit rod 37. The main gear 38 of the main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 and the backup circuit breaker operating mechanism 4 is provided with a limit column 39 matched with the limit rod 37.

One side of the rotary push plate 34 is provided with a manual unlocking switch 40, and the lower end of the first interlocking rod 28 is provided with a baffle 41. When the main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 is in the closed state, the first interlocking rod 28 is moved downward by the pressure of the trigger head 27, so that the baffle 41 at the lower end of the first interlocking rod 28 is blocked behind the rotary push plate 34, thereby preventing the manual unlocking switch 40 from being operated, and achieving the locking effect. Conversely, when the main circuit breaker operating mechanism 3 is in the open state, the first interlocking rod 28 is automatically reset by the first reset spring 29, so that the manual unlocking switch 40 can be operated to achieve the unlocking effect.

[0030] Preferably, the first interlocking rod 28 is installed on the partition plate 43 of the rack 1 through an "L"-shaped support 42. The top end of the first interlocking rod 28 is integrally formed with a pressure plate 44, and the bottom of the first interlocking rod 28 is integrally formed with the baffle 41. The side wall of the first interlocking rod 28 is provided with two sliding grooves 45, which are slidably installed on the sliding shaft 46 of the "L"-shaped support 42 through the sliding grooves 45. The lower end of the first reset spring 29 is hung on the first interlocking rod 28, and the upper end is hung on the "L"-shaped support 42. After assembly, the first interlocking rod 28, the "L"-shaped support 42, and the first reset spring 29 form an assembly, which has the advantages of small structure and convenient installation.

[0031] Preferably, the first connecting shaft 9 and the second connecting shaft 12 are provided with a shaft sleeve 47 for supporting the inner wall of the toggle arm 11 to improve the stability and strength of the toggle arm 11.

[0032] Preferably, the manual unlocking switch 40 comprises a square-shaped housing 48 formed by one-piece stamping, a push rod 49 arranged in the square-shaped housing 48, a second return spring 50 sleeved on the front end of the push rod 49, and a button 51 arranged on the push rod 49 and axially connected to the panel of the rack 1. The front end of the square-shaped housing 48 is further provided with a guide sleeve 54, the front end of the push rod 49 extends out of the square-shaped housing 48 through the guide sleeve 54 and is fixed by a pin. The manual unlocking switch 40 has the advantages of simplicity, reliability, durability and easy installation.

[0033] Preferably, the front of the rotary push plate 34 is provided with a positioning column 52 for positioning after the rotary push plate 34 is rotated in place to prevent the manual unlocking switch 40 from being pressed too hard and causing the rotary push plate 34 to break.

[0034] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
