[0020] In order to further understand the content of the present application, the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0021] In combination with Figures 1 to 6 the drawings, the present application is a load switch, which comprises a switch support 1, a plurality of inner supports 3 are installed in the inside of the switch support 1, a moving knife holder 21 is arranged in the inside of each inner support 3, a contact blade 22 is arranged at the end of the moving knife holder 21, a driving shaft 2 is transversely penetrated in the inside of the switch support 1, the driving shaft 2 is rotationally arranged in the inside of the switch support 1, the moving knife holder 21 is fixed on the driving shaft 2, a conductive rod 23 is arranged at the bottom of the inner support 3, a grounding contact seat 24 is arranged at the front end in the inside of the inner support 3, a static contact seat 31 is arranged at the top of the inner support 3, a static blade 32 is arranged at the bottom end of the static contact seat 31, an arc striking strip 33 is arranged at the bottom end of the static blade 32, a blowing arc assembly is arranged at the rear end of the inner support 3, the front end of the arc striking strip 33 protrudes from the front end of the static blade 32, and the front end of the arc striking strip 33 is relatively sharp.

[0022] The blowing arc assembly comprises an air cylinder 4 arranged at the rear end of the inner support 3, a piston 41 is arranged in the inside of the air cylinder 4, the bottom end of the piston 41 is hingedly connected with a connecting rod 42, the bottom end of the connecting rod 42 is hingedly connected with the moving knife holder 21, blowing heads 43 are arranged at the top front end of the air cylinder 4, each blowing head 43 is arranged at the side of the static blade 32, the blowing head 43 is in communication with the inside of the air cylinder 4, and the air duct in the inside of the blowing head 43 is inclined downward and faces the sharp end of the arc striking strip 33.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] A driving assembly is arranged at one side of the driving shaft 2, the driving assembly drives the driving shaft 2 to rotate, so that the moving knife holder 21 in the inner support 3 can rotate to the position facing the grounding contact seat 24 or the position facing the static blade 32;

[0025] When the contact blade 22 at the end of the moving knife holder 21 rotates to the position of the static blade 32, which is the closing state, as shown in FIG. 3, the position is set as a; when the contact blade 22 at the end of the moving knife holder 21 rotates to the position of the grounding contact 24, which is the grounding state, as shown in FIG. 4, the position is set as b; when the contact blade 22 at the end of the moving knife holder 21 rotates to the position as shown in FIG. 5, which is the opening state, the position is set as c. Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 2

[0026] When the moving knife holder 21 rotates to the position of a, the moving knife holder 21 pulls down the piston 41 through the connecting rod 42 to move to the lowermost position in the air cylinder 4; when the moving knife holder 21 rotates from a to c, the moving knife holder 21 pushes up the piston 41 through the connecting rod 42 to move to the middle position in the air cylinder 4; when the moving knife holder 21 rotates from c to b, the moving knife holder 21 pushes up the piston 41 through the connecting rod 42 to move to the uppermost position in the air cylinder 4; during the rotation of the moving knife holder 21 from a to c and then to b, the piston 41 moves upward step by step from the lowermost position in the air cylinder 4, and the gas in the air cylinder 4 is squeezed out and sprayed through the blowing head 43 towards the tip of the arc leading strip 33, so as to blow the arc at the tip of the arc leading strip 33 by using the gas, thereby performing arc extinguishing work to prevent a large arc from being generated at the moment when the static blade 32 and the contact blade 22 are opened.

[0027] It should be noted that an arc will be generated when the static blade 32 and the contact blade 22 are opened, and the arc leading strip 33 is used to conduct the arc, and the end of the arc leading strip 33 is designed to protrude from the static blade 32, so that the arc can be more easily gathered at the protruding part. Because the electric field is more concentrated at the tip, according to the basic principle of electric field, the distribution of electric charge on the surface of the conductor is uneven, and the charge density is higher at the sharp part, so this protruding design is beneficial to concentrating the arc generated by opening to the tip of the arc leading strip 33.

[0028] The gas sprayed by the blowing head 43 is used for arc blowing operation, and the tip of the arc leading strip 33 is protruding, so that the gas can more accurately act on the position where the arc is gathered. If the arc leading strip 33 is flush with the static blade 32, the gas may be dispersed on the surface of the static blade 32 and the surface of the arc leading strip 33, and it is difficult to effectively act on the key area where the arc is gathered.

[0029] ​​​The gas sprayed by the spraying head 43 acts on the tip of the arc striking strip 33. When the gas blows to the tip, on the one hand, the gas can blow away the ions and heat generated by the tip discharge; on the other hand, the gas can inhibit the arc from gathering again at the tip of the arc striking strip 33, preventing the arc from being too high to cause other adverse consequences, such as arc generation or electromagnetic interference on the surrounding equipment, etc. In this way, the arc blowing operation can be efficiently performed, and the large arc generated at the moment of the separation of the static blade 32 and the contact blade 22 can be reduced.

[0030] It should be noted that the relational terms herein such as first and second and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
