Technical Field

[0002] As the name suggests, a dual-power automatic transfer switch automatically switches to a backup power source in the event of a sudden power outage, ensuring continued operation without interruption. Simply put, a dual-power automatic transfer switch provides one main power source and one backup power source. In the event of a sudden power outage or failure in the primary power source, the dual-power transfer switch automatically switches to the backup power source (which can also be powered by a generator under low loads), allowing equipment to continue operating normally. It's most commonly used in elevators, fire protection, and surveillance systems. Banks also use UPS uninterruptible power supplies, but their backup power is a battery pack.

The switching assembly controls the closing of either the primary power microswitch or the backup power microswitch when switching power sources. The logic interlock circuit includes a primary power closing control circuit and a backup power closing control circuit. The primary power closing control circuit and the backup power closing control circuit are electrically connected to the controller and the switching assembly, respectively, for controlling the switching assembly to switch to the other normal power source when one power source fails.

This application utilizes two microswitches positioned adjacent to the switching assembly, combined with a logic interlock circuit, to protect the normal operation of the switching assembly. However, using only the logic interlock circuit to interlock the primary power microswitch and the backup power microswitch can easily lead to simultaneous closing of both power sources due to misoperation, posing a potential electrical safety hazard.

The normal-end circuit breaker 1 and the backup-end circuit breaker 3 are both connected to the switch controller 2. The switch controller 2 comprises a controller circuit board 21, a mechanical interlocking device 22 for limiting the simultaneous closing of the normal-end circuit breaker 1 and the backup-end circuit breaker 3, and a controller housing 23 covering the outside of the controller circuit board 21.

The automatic switching between the normal power source and the backup power source is achieved through the setting of the switch controller 2, ensuring that the electrical appliances can operate stably, thereby effectively improving the stability of power consumption. By setting the mechanical interlocking device 22, after the common-end circuit breaker 1 or the standby-end circuit breaker 3 is closed, the mechanical interlocking device 22 locks the other circuit breaker so that it cannot be closed, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of two circuit breakers being closed at the same time due to misoperation, improving the safety of dual power supply power use, and effectively improving the efficiency of dual power supply switching and improving power safety.

[0046] Reference Figure 7The four-link assembly 26 includes a first drive link 261, a second drive link 262, a third drive link 263 and a fourth drive link 264. The first drive link 261 and the second drive link 262 are both coaxially rotatably arranged on the inner side wall of the controller housing 23, and the rotation points of the first drive link 261 and the second drive link 262 are not at their center points to form a long arm and a short arm. A rotating rod 265 is provided on one end of the long arms of the first drive link 261 and the second drive link 262, facing away from each other.

The third drive link 263 and the fourth drive link 264 are both arranged in a Z-shape. Through the configuration of the mechanical interlocking device 22, when the main end circuit breaker 1 is closed, the knife switch shaft 71 drives the knife switch plate to close into the knife switch knife seat 73, and at the same time drives the rotating rod 265 of the first drive link 261 to move downward, thereby driving the first drive link 261 to rotate, forcing the third drive link 263 to operate and drive the backup end rotary disk 25 to rotate. This in turn drives the backup end limit rod 251 to press the draw rod 8 of the backup end circuit breaker 3 to the limit position, preventing the closing assembly 7 of the backup end circuit breaker 3 from closing. This prevents the two circuit breakers from closing simultaneously due to misoperation, improves the safety of dual power supply, and effectively improves the efficiency of dual power supply switching and improves power safety. When the primary power supply fails, the control panel detects that the primary power supply is off while the backup power supply is on, and controls the primary circuit breaker 1 to open. At this time, both the primary circuit breaker 1 and the backup circuit breaker 3 are in the open state. The operating mechanism 72 of the backup circuit breaker 3 is then controlled to close the backup circuit breaker 3. The knife switch shaft 71 of the backup circuit breaker 3 drives the second drive link 262 to rotate via the rotating rod 265, thereby driving the fourth drive link 264 to move, causing the primary turntable 24 to rotate, and then driving the primary limit rod 241 to press the traction rod 8 of the primary circuit breaker 1 to the limit position, making it impossible to close the primary circuit breaker 1. This prevents the two circuit breakers from closing at the same time due to misoperation, thereby improving the safety of dual power supply power consumption and effectively improving the efficiency of dual power supply switching and improving power safety.
