Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances, and particularly relates to a manual operating mechanism for a contactor. Background Art

[0002] When a contactor fails and there is no magnetic field, it can only be switched on and off through a manual operating mechanism. When using this manual operating mechanism, turning the handle can achieve the switching on and off of the contactor. However, the rotation speed of the handle is relatively slow, which affects the switching-off or switching-on speed. Sometimes, although the contactor fails, it may not be in a power-off state. At this time, using the manual operating mechanism has a certain risk. In addition, when multiple contactors need to be opened and closed simultaneously, the handles can only be rotated individually one by one, and the operation is not convenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the background art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a manual operating mechanism for a contactor with a faster switching-on and switching-off speed, higher safety, and capable of enabling multiple contactors to be linked.

[0004] To this end, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0005] A manual operating mechanism for a contactor, characterized in that: it includes a bottom plate, a bracket and a switching-on and off device provided on the bottom plate. A partition is provided inside the bracket, the switching-on and off device is located below the partition, and a linkage device for driving the switching-on and off device to open or close is provided on the partition.

[0006] Further, the linkage device includes a frame, a handle shaft and a linkage rod provided on the partition. The handle shaft is rotatably connected to the bracket and the frame. A handle is provided on the handle shaft, and a rotating shaft is movably provided on the handle shaft. A slider is movably inserted through the frame. Baffles for blocking the rotating shaft are provided on the left and right sides of the slider, and the slider can drive the linkage rod to move up and down.

[0007] Further, a torsion spring is provided on the frame. One end of the torsion spring is movably inserted into the frame, and the other end is movably inserted into the rotating shaft. First linkage plates and second linkage plates are hinged on the front and rear sides of the linkage rod. A hinge seat for hinging with the first linkage plate is provided inside the frame, and the second linkage plate is hinged with the slider passing through the frame.

[0008] Further, an annular chute is provided on the outer circle of the rotating shaft. A slide rail inserted into the annular chute is provided on the handle shaft. Arc-shaped stoppers for blocking the rotating shaft are provided on the left and right sides of the slide rail, and slide rails inserted into the annular chute are provided on the inner walls of the arc-shaped stoppers.

[0009] Further, columns for blocking the arc-shaped stoppers are provided between the bracket and the frame on both sides of the handle shaft, and the columns are fixed to the bracket by bolts.

[0010] Further, a microswitch connected to the contactor is provided on the bracket. A square column is provided at the upper end of the handle shaft, and a cam capable of opening the microswitch is sleeved on the square column. A plurality of through holes are equally divided in the circumferential direction of the cam. When a plurality of manual operating mechanisms of the contactors are linked together, at least one connecting plate is arranged between two adjacent cams, and the connecting plate is fixed to the through hole of the cam by shaft riveting.

[0011] Further, a flat plate is provided inside the frame, and a guiding hole for the linkage rod to pass through is provided on the flat plate.

[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, when turning the handle during opening or closing the switch, the arc-shaped stopper on one side of the handle shaft drives one end of the rotating shaft and the torsion spring to move. At this time, the torsion spring is in an energy storage state. When the handle shaft rotates to a corresponding position, the energy stored in the torsion spring is instantly released, driving the rotating shaft to accelerate and move towards the arc-shaped stopper on the other side of the handle shaft, and driving the handle shaft and the slider to move quickly in the other direction, thereby making the opening or closing speed faster. Moreover, when the handle shaft rotates, it drives the cam to rotate, thereby opening the microswitch and cutting off the power supply of the contactor first. The operation safety is higher in the power-off state. In addition, when a plurality of manual operating mechanisms of the contactors are linked together, at least one connecting plate is arranged between two adjacent cams, and the connecting plate is fixed to the through hole of the cam by shaft riveting. Turning one handle can drive a plurality of manual operating mechanisms of the contactors to be linked together, and the operation is simple, convenient and fast. Description of the Drawings
