[0002] The existing tap changer contact structures include rolling ring structure, wedge structure, top-to-top structure and clip structure. Except for the switch body of the rolling ring structure which has the sound of shifting into place and the positioning feel, the tap changer bodies of other contact structures have no sound of shifting into place and the positioning feel. After shifting, it is not possible to intuitively determine whether the tap changer body is in place, nor is it possible to intuitively find out whether the tap changer operating mechanism and the tap changer body are installed synchronously. If the tap switch does not shift into place or the tap switch operating mechanism and the body are not installed synchronously, it will cause the tap switch to have poor contact and burn out.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a transformer tap switch shift in-position sound and positioning hand feeling device, including a main shaft 13 installed on a support seat, the main shaft 13 is connected to a moving contact assembly, an insulating rod 12 is provided on the support seat, a static contact assembly is provided on the insulating rod 12, the moving contact assembly is matched with the static contact assembly (static contact assembly and moving contact assembly are omitted in the figure), a double-double-boss cam mechanism is connected to the main shaft 13, the double-boss cam mechanism is matched with a plurality of elastic return mechanisms arranged in the circumferential direction, and the elastic return mechanism corresponds to the corresponding gear position of the transformer tap switch, so that when shifting, the rotation of the main shaft drives the double-boss cam mechanism to interact with the elastic return mechanism. When shifting, by driving the main shaft 13 to rotate, the main shaft 13 drives the double-boss cam mechanism to rotate by the same angle, which interacts with the elastic return mechanism to emit a sound in place and a positioning hand feeling.

[0028] The double-boss cam mechanism includes a cam 5 fixed on the main shaft 13, the highest point of the cam 5 is a plane or a curved surface, and arc-shaped bosses (similar to cylindrical curved surfaces) are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plane or the curved surface on the cam 5, and the distance between the outermost periphery of the arc-shaped boss and the rotation center of the cam is greater than the distance between the plane or the curved surface and the rotation center of the cam, so that the switch has a sense of being in place and a sound of being in place. Among them, there are at least two arc-shaped bosses. In this embodiment, the cam can be of various shapes. This embodiment is described by taking the cam as a rectangle as an example. The adjacent sides of the outer wall are connected by a transition arc surface, and the cam end face between the two bosses on the cam 5 is planar, so that it has a better sense of being in place and a sound of being in place. Figure 4-2 and Figure 4-3As shown, the distance L1 between the outermost periphery of the arc-shaped boss (ie, located at 45° in the horizontal or longitudinal direction of the boss) and the rotation center of the cam is greater than the distance L2 between the plane or curved surface and the rotation center of the cam.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the shifting torque, the sliding friction between the boss and the elastic support seat of the elastic return mechanism can be changed into rolling friction, that is, the bosses on both sides of the cam are set as roller structures to form a double-roller cam structure, that is, two rollers 7 are set, and the rollers 7 are installed on the cam 5 through the roller shaft 6. By setting the bosses on both sides of the cam as roller structures, the friction between the cam 5 and the spring support 8 can be made rolling friction, which further reduces the shifting torque and makes shifting easier.

[0030] A pin shaft 3 is provided at the upper end of the main shaft 13 , and a U-shaped penetration hole is provided on the cam 5 . The pin shaft 3 is penetrated through the penetration hole, and a clearance margin is provided between the pin shaft 3 and the penetration hole. The main shaft drives the cam 5 to rotate through the pin shaft 3 .

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, there are five elastic return mechanisms, which are correspondingly arranged at the gear positions of the transformer tap changer. The elastic return mechanism includes a spring support 8 and a fixed support 10 which are arranged oppositely and connected by a guide 14. A spring 9 is arranged between the spring support 8 and the fixed support 10. The spring 9 is sleeved on the guide 14. The outer end surface of the spring support 8 is configured with a cam, so that the spring support can achieve reciprocating motion relative to the fixed support under the action of the double boss cam mechanism. Among them, at least one group of springs and guides is provided in the elastic return mechanism, and each group of springs includes at least two springs and guides. When there are multiple groups, each group of springs and guides are arranged in sequence from top to bottom to enhance the operating feel and sound. This embodiment is described by taking a group of springs and guides as an example. As shown in the figure, a plurality of spring slots are respectively provided on the inner side of the spring support 8 and the fixed support 10, and the two ends of the spring are clamped in the corresponding spring slots. The guide member 14 may be a guide bolt, and the spring support 8 may slide back and forth relative to the guide bolt 14 .

[0032] The elastic return mechanism is fixedly mounted on the support flange 11 of the support seat through a fixing frame. The rotation of the input shaft 4 drives the main shaft 13 to rotate to realize the switch gear shifting. At the same time, the rotation of the main shaft increases the pin shaft 3 to drive the cam 5 of the double boss cam mechanism to rotate one circle. The double boss cam mechanism interacts with the elastic return mechanism once to produce the gear shifting sound and positioning feel.

[0033] The specific working process is: when the tap switch needs to be switched to other gears, the input shaft 4 drives the double boss cam mechanism cam 5 to rotate, and rotates to Figure 4-1 When the position is reached, the spring support 8 of the elastic return mechanism is compressed to Figure 4-2When the spring 9 is in the 9th position, the elastic support is compressed to the maximum state. At this time, the spring 9 has the maximum pressure. When the front roller 7 passes the center of the elastic support, the spring pressure is released instantly, forcing the two rollers 7 of the cam 5 to contact the elastic support. When the spring force is applied, a sound is generated when the contact is instantaneous, and the switch changes to the next gear position. Figure 4-3 As shown, at this time, the elastic force is still maintained between the cam mechanism and the elastic return mechanism, so that the switch has a positioning feel.

[0034] The present invention can be applied to tap switches with wedge-shaped, top-to-top and clip-type contact structures, so that the tap switch has a sound and a positioning feel when it is shifted into place, thereby intuitively confirming that the tap switch is accurately installed and shifted into place, thereby improving the contact performance of the tap switch.

[0035] Embodiment 2:

[0036] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the structure of the second embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except that: a sheave fork mechanism is further provided, the sheave fork mechanism comprises a sheave 1 fixedly connected to the main shaft 13 and a fork 2 matched with the sheave 1, and the cam of the cam mechanism is sleeved on the main shaft 13. The power input shaft is connected to the main shaft 13 through the sheave fork mechanism, and a joystick and an operating mechanism are sleeved on the upper part of the input shaft (the joystick and the operating mechanism are omitted in the figure).

[0037] In addition, the power input shaft can also drive the grooved wheel fork mechanism to rotate through the gear transmission mechanism.
