It operates in both standalone and grid-connected modes. With the widespread deployment of PV systems, their safety has become a growing concern and a hot topic within the industry in recent years. PV DC switches in PV systems are used in inverters and control the operating status of multiple core components. The reliability of these switches is crucial not only to the smooth operation of the entire PV system but also to the stable development of the PV industry.

Major manufacturers have also been researching ways to enhance the arc extinguishing capability and disconnection speed of switch contacts.

A sector hole 4.1 that cooperates with the axle pin 3 is provided on the rotating shaft sleeve 4 to achieve one-way linkage with the mechanism main shaft 2. The spring is sleeved on the mechanism main shaft 2 between the rotating shaft sleeve 4 and the housing 1, with one end fixedly connected to the housing 1 and the other end fixedly connected to the rotating shaft sleeve 4. The locking mechanism 6 includes a locking component, a trigger component, and a rotating component. The locking mechanism 6 is correspondingly arranged with the guide pin 9 through the locking component to lock the rotating shaft sleeve 4, is correspondingly arranged with the trigger mechanism 8 through the trigger component to trigger the locking mechanism 6, and rotates the locking mechanism 6 through the rotating component to unlock the rotating shaft sleeve 4. Among them, the end of the trigger component is connected to the housing 1 through the locking mechanism return spring 7; the trigger mechanism 8 includes a flux converter, an electromagnet or a motor;
[0042] When the switch knob is turned from the OFF position to the ON position, the switch knob drives the main shaft 2 of the mechanism to rotate, causing the rotating shaft sleeve 4 to be locked by the locking component of the locking mechanism 6 through the guide pin 9. At this time, the spring changes from the free state to the energy storage state, and the linkage between the rotating shaft sleeve 4 and the main shaft 2 of the mechanism is released. When the trigger mechanism 8 fires the trigger component of the locking mechanism 6, the trigger component drives the rotating component to rotate, causing the locking component to release the locking of the rotating shaft sleeve 4, and then the main shaft 2 of the mechanism drives the switch knob to turn from the ON position to the OFF position under the action of the spring;
[0043] The rotating shaft sleeve 4 is provided with a groove, and a microswitch trigger rod 10 is sleeved on the rotating shaft sleeve 4. One or more microswitches 11 corresponding to the outside of the rotating shaft sleeve 4 are arranged (schematic diagrams of multiple microswitches are as Figure 8 shown).

[0045] In this embodiment, the rotating component of the locking mechanism 6 is a locking rod 6.1, the locking component is a locking block 6.2, and the trigger component is a trigger rod 6.3. Both ends of the locking rod 6.1 are connected to the housing 1 through the locking rod bracket 13. One end is connected to the locking block 6.2, and the other end extends out of the locking rod bracket 13 and is connected to the trigger rod 6.3. The trigger rod 6.3 is arranged corresponding to the trigger mechanism 8. When the trigger mechanism 8 fires the trigger rod 6.3, the locking rod 6.1 rotates around its central axis to drive the locking block 6.2 to rotate, thereby releasing the locking of the rotating shaft sleeve 4.
[0046] In this embodiment, the trigger mechanism 8 is a flux converter 8.1. The flux converter 8.1 is arranged at the lower part of the trigger rod 6.3 and is connected to the housing 1 through a flux pressing plate 14. A reset button 8.2 is correspondingly arranged on it. The reset button 8.2 is directly connected to the flux converter 8.1, and the other end extends out of the front end face of the housing 1. A protective cover assembly 21 corresponding to the extended end of the reset button 8.2 is arranged on the front end face of the housing 1. The protective cover assembly 21 includes a threaded sleeve 21.1 sleeved on the reset button 8.2, a protective cap 21.2 and a compression nut 21.3 arranged in cooperation with the threaded sleeve 21.1. The protective cap 21.2 and the housing 1 are connected through a connecting member 21.4.
[0047] In addition, a trigger shaft 15 is provided at one end of the reset button 8.2, and the trigger shaft 15 is arranged at the lower part of the trigger rod 6.3. The end of the trigger rod 6.3 away from the lock rod 6.1 is connected to the housing 1 through the locking mechanism reset spring 7.
[0048] The unlocking lever arm of the trigger assembly is more than twice the locking lever arm of the lock assembly. The unlocking surface of the trigger assembly and the rotation center of the lock assembly are staggered, and faster movement is achieved by increasing the rotation radius of the unlocking surface.
[0049] The spring is a torsion spring 5 or a tension spring 22 or a combination spring used together with the torsion spring 5 and the tension spring 22 (the diagram of the tension spring is shown in FIG. Figure 9 shown).

The short shaft 6.5 is connected to the shell 1. When the trigger mechanism 8 triggers the horizontal plate 6.7, the horizontal plate 6.7 drives the stop plate 6.6 to rotate around the short shaft 6.5, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating shaft sleeve 4, wherein an angle is set between the stop plate 6.6 and the horizontal plate 6.7.
[0059] In this embodiment, the triggering mechanism 8 is a flux transducer 8.1. The flux transducer 8.1 is disposed below the horizontal plate 6.7 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

The locking mechanism return spring 7 is disposed below the horizontal plate 6.7. One end of the locking mechanism return spring 7 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end of the horizontal plate 6.7 away from the stop plate 6.6.
[0063] Embodiment Six, in combination with Figures 20-21
[0064] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment One is that:
[0065] In this embodiment, the rotating component of the locking mechanism 6 is a support shaft 6.8, the locking component is a horizontal plate 6.9, and the triggering component is a triggering circular plate 6.10. The support shaft 6.8 is connected to the housing 1. The horizontal plate 6.9 is rotatably connected to the support shaft 6.8 and one end of the horizontal plate 6.9 is connected to the triggering circular plate 6.10. When the triggering mechanism 8 fires the triggering circular plate 6.10, the triggering circular plate 6.10 drives the horizontal plate 6.9 to rotate around the support shaft 6.8, thereby unlocking the rotating shaft sleeve 4.
[0066] In this embodiment, the triggering mechanism 8 is a flux transducer 8.1.

The locking mechanism return spring 7 is sleeved on the flux transducer 8.1. The reset button 8.2 is disposed above the circular plate 6.10 and is slidably connected to the short shaft two 19 fixedly connected to the housing 1. The reset button spring 20 is sleeved on the short shaft two 19.
[0067] Embodiment Seven, in combination with Figures 22-23
[0068] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Six is that:
[0069] In this embodiment, the triggering mechanism 8 is an electromagnet 8.3. The electromagnet 8.3 is arranged between the triggering circular plate 6.10 and the housing 1. The electromagnet 8.3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The locking mechanism return spring 7 is sleeved on the electromagnet 8.3, with one end fixedly connected to the housing 1 and the other end fixedly connected to the circular plate 6.10.
[0070] When the present invention is specifically implemented: when the knob of the switch is first turned from the OFF position to the ON position for the first time, the mechanism main shaft controls the spring through the shaft sleeve, causing the spring to change from the relaxed state to the working state, so as to complete the energy storage of the spring while the switch is first switched on. When the rotation ends, the rotating shaft sleeve linked to the mechanism main shaft is fixedly locked by the locking mechanism to prevent it from rotating and releasing energy under the huge torsion of the spring.
[0071] After the energy storage of the spring is completed, the rotating shaft sleeve is caught by the locking mechanism and fixed at the energy storage position. At this time, the switch main shaft can still rotate inside the shaft sleeve, that is, the switch can be manually turned on and off freely. When an overload or short circuit occurs in the inverter, etc., the control center can send a signal to the flux converter or electromagnet or motor of the DC switch. After the flux converter or electromagnet is powered on, it instantaneously generates a triggering action to impact the locking mechanism, causing it to move or rotate away from the rotating shaft sleeve and finally disengage from the shaft sleeve. Without the restriction of the locking mechanism, the shaft sleeve rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the spring elastic force. The torque of the spring energy storage is greater than the operating torque of the switch main shaft, so it can drive the knob of the switch to rotate from the ON position to the OFF position, completing the disconnection operation of the DC switch. After the disconnection operation is completed, the shaft sleeve locks the mechanism main shaft at the disconnection position.
[0072] When power supply needs to be restored again after troubleshooting, the knob of the switch should be forcefully turned from the OFF position to the ON position. This process is a process of re-powering for the switch and a process of energy storage for the automatic disconnection mechanism. It can remind the operator that when the knob needs to be forcefully rotated, there must be some kind of fault.
[0073] The above describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. All in all, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative efforts without departing from the purpose of the present invention creation, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
