DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution.

[0029] As Figures 1-7As shown, the utility model discloses a disconnecting switch, including operating mechanism 10 and single pole subassembly 20, wherein operating mechanism 10 includes mechanism shell and handle 12, translation shift block 13, shift lever 15, damping accumulator 16, rotary shift block 17 and air bag assembly 19 installed in mechanism shell, handle 12 drive connection translation shift block 13, translation shift block 13 connects shift lever 15, mechanism shell is provided with chamber at both ends of shift lever 15, and damping accumulator 16 and air bag assembly 19 are placed in two chambers respectively, the upper end of damping accumulator 16 and air bag assembly 19 is articulated with both ends of shift lever 15 respectively, and the lower end of damping accumulator 16 and air bag assembly 19 is articulated with mechanism shell respectively, air bag assembly 19 is hollow inside, and air bag assembly 19 has arc extinguishing exhaust pipe 191, single pole subassembly 20 includes subassembly shell 24 and static contact piece 22, arc extinguishing chamber 23 and movable contact assembly 25 arranged in subassembly shell 24, rotary shift block 17 and movable contact assembly 25 are connected and synchronous rotation, and subassembly shell 24 has tubular air passage 21, and the contact point 222 of static contact piece 22 and movable contact assembly 25 is arranged between tubular air passage 21 and arc extinguishing chamber 23, in the utility model, single pole subassembly 20 has two symmetrical static contact pieces 22 inside, arc extinguishing exhaust pipe 191 is docked with tubular air passage 21, and rotating handle 12 can simultaneously drive translation shift block 13 to translate and rotary shift block 17 to rotate, when rotating handle 12, static contact piece 22 and movable contact assembly 25 realize opening and closing, shift lever 15 is driven to move in parallel by translation shift block 13, and air bag assembly 19 is compressed, thereby generating airflow. Air bag assembly 19 is blown by tubular air passage 21 to the contact point 222 of static contact piece 22 and movable contact assembly 25, and arc is introduced into arc extinguishing chamber 23.

[0030] The specific structure of the disconnecting switch is described below in detail.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , operating mechanism 10 has one, single pole subassembly 20 has two groups, and the two groups of single pole subassembly 20 are respectively installed on both sides of operating mechanism 10.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , operating mechanism 10 includes upper cover 11, handle 12, translation shift block 13, upper shell 14, shift lever 15, damping accumulator 16, rotary shift block 17, base 18 and air bag assembly 19, please combine Figure 4 , the upper shell 14 and the base 18 are combined to form two cavities inside, the air bag assembly 19 and the damping accumulator 16 are arranged in the two cavities respectively, and the shift lever 15 is arranged inside the upper shell 14. The upper cover 11 covers the top of the upper shell 14, and a cavity is formed between the upper cover 11 and the upper shell 14, and the handle 12 and the translation shift block 13 are arranged in the cavity between the upper cover 11 and the upper shell 14.

[0033] As shown in Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the airbag assembly 19 includes an elastic deformable cavity 192 and a return spring. The return spring is disposed in the internal cavity of the elastic deformable cavity 192. The top and bottom of the elastic deformable cavity 192 have a first hinge hole 193 and a second hinge hole 194, respectively.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, when the moving contact 251 of the moving contact assembly 25 contacts the stationary contact 221 of the stationary contact piece 22, the disconnecting switch is in the closed state. Figure 4 As shown, when the circuit is closed, the airbag assembly 19 in the operating mechanism 10 is oriented to the right, the reset spring inside the elastic deformable cavity 192 is in a fully released state, the damping accumulator 16 is in a nearly vertical state, but the top is slightly biased to the right, and the spring on the damping accumulator 16 is in a compressed state.

[0035] like Figure 5 When the moving contact 251 of the moving contact assembly 25 separates from the stationary contact 221 of the stationary contact piece 22, this disconnecting switch is in the open state. For example... Figure 6 As shown, when the circuit is open, the stationary contact 221 and the moving contact 251 are separated.

[0036] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, preferably, the damping accumulator 16 has an energy storage critical point. When the lever 15 drives the damping accumulator 16 to swing past the energy storage critical point, the damping accumulator 16 quickly releases, causing the airbag assembly 19 to compress rapidly. During the process of this disconnecting switch changing from the closed state to the open state, the damping accumulator 16 first... Figure 4 The energy storage process involves the accumulator transitioning from a slightly right-leaning position to an upright position. After the damping accumulator 16 passes the upright position, it releases its energy. At this point, the stationary contact 221 and the moving contact 251 completely disengage, potentially generating an electric arc. Due to the action of its internal spring, the damping accumulator 16 rapidly changes from an upright position to a position with its top tilted to the left. During this process, the return spring in the airbag assembly 19 is gradually compressed, reducing the volume of the internal chamber of the elastic deformation cavity 192. Air inside the elastic deformation cavity 192 is blown out through the arc-extinguishing exhaust pipe 191, and the blown gas is introduced into the monopole assembly 20 through the tubular air passage 21. The gas flow path during this process is as follows: Figure 3 As indicated by the middle arrow, the arc is ultimately directed to the arc-extinguishing chamber 23 and discharged from the monopole assembly 20 through the vent on the assembly housing 24. At this point, the damping accumulator 16 is fully released, and the interior of the monopole assembly 20 is as follows: Figure 6 The state shown.

[0037] like Figure 4As shown, as preferred, the elastic deformation cavity body 192 is a columnar elastic rubber cavity body. The internal cavity of the elastic deformation cavity body 192 is of a variable cross-section shape, the cross-sectional area of the middle part of the internal cavity of the elastic deformation cavity body 192 is larger than that of the two sides, and the internal cavity of the elastic deformation cavity body 192 is spindle-shaped. During compression of the elastic deformation cavity body 192, the elastic deformation cavity body 192 can be deformed and expanded outward along the part with a larger cross-sectional area, so that the compression state of the elastic deformation cavity body 192 can be controlled, and the elastic deformation cavity body 192 becomes a short columnar structure as a whole.

[0038] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 As shown, the static contact piece 22 has a static contact 221 arranged close to the moving contact assembly 25, the static contact 221 is provided with a gas passing hole 223, the gas passing hole 223 is in communication with the tubular air duct 21, the static contact 221 is located above the opening of the arc extinguishing chamber 23, and the contact point 222 is located between the gas passing hole 223 and the arc extinguishing chamber 23, which can further enhance the strength and directionality of the gas during arc striking.

[0039] The disconnector is compressed and released by the movement of the operating mechanism 10, and the compression of the air bag assembly 19 generates air flow to the static contacts of the left and right single pole bodies, the closing of the operating mechanism 10 drives the single pole body to realize current on-off, and the air flow blows the arc generated by the single pole to the arc extinguishing chamber 23, the arc extinguishing effect is far superior to that of the prior art, and the blowing action is synchronized with the switching action, and the blowing timing is accurate, without additional blowing mechanism.

[0040] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make many changes in specific implementation and application range according to the technical content of the present application, as long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present application, they all belong to the protection scope of the present patent.
