TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application discloses a ground knife middle-mounted load switch combined electrical appliance, and belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances according to the international patent classification (IPC). BACKGROUND

[0002] The load switch electrical appliance is generally used in cooperation with an electrical cabinet, and the existing load switch electrical appliance with a ground knife is matched with a knife seat, wherein the knife seat is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the load switch, and the matched ground knife is also arranged below the load switch, so that the longitudinal size of the load switch is relatively large, and a relatively large longitudinal space of the electrical cabinet is required. The load switch electrical appliance with the above structure mode is not suitable for installation in some electrical cabinets with limited installation space. Therefore, the technical personnel in the field urgently need to develop a matched switch electrical appliance, and thus the application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the defects of the prior art, the application provides a ground knife middle-mounted load switch combined electrical appliance, which changes the switch layout, makes the overall structure more reasonable, and reduces the longitudinal size to adapt to more application environments.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the application is implemented by the following technical scheme.

[0005] A ground knife middle-mounted load switch combined electrical appliance comprises:

[0006] a rack which is a shared support frame of the load switch and the ground switch;

[0007] the load switch comprises a switch body, an upper contact assembly and a lower contact assembly, the lower contact assembly is electrically connected with the switch body, a conductive part of the switch body can be lifted and displaced and is electrically connected with or disconnected from the upper contact assembly to form a closing or opening state of a main circuit, and when the opening state, the conductive part is partially exposed at one end close to the upper contact assembly to form a grounding action part;

[0008] the ground switch is arranged between the upper contact assembly and the conductive part, and when the load switch is in the opening state, the ground switch is electrically connected with the grounding action part of the conductive part to form a grounding circuit.

[0009] Further, the load switch is a three-group air pressure type load switch and forms three-phase connection poles, and the corresponding ground switch is also a three-group, each air pressure type load switch comprises a conductive cylinder, the conductive cylinder can be lifted and displaced along an axis and is electrically connected with the corresponding upper contact, and a side wall at the top of the conductive cylinder forms the grounding action part.

[0010] Furthermore, the grounding switch includes a grounding knife clamp, a contact compression spring and a grounding transmission shaft. The grounding knife clamp passes through a horizontal axis near the head. A contact compression spring is provided on the horizontal axis and on the outside of the grounding knife clamp so that the grounding knife clamp can be tightly pressed against the grounding action part. The grounding knife clamp is fixed to the grounding transmission shaft through a grounding crank arm. The grounding transmission shaft is installed on the frame through a fixing seat. One end of the grounding transmission shaft is connected to the electrical operating mechanism. The grounding knife clamp is electrically connected to the grounding copper busbar through a flexible connection. The grounding copper busbar is fixed to the frame. The conductive part of the load switch, the grounding knife clamp, the flexible connection, the grounding copper busbar, and the reliably grounded frame form a grounding loop current path.

[0011] Furthermore, the grounding transmission shaft is substantially flush with the grounding function portion of the conductive cylinder when the compressed air load switch is opened.

[0012] Furthermore, a grounding switch limit plate is provided on the grounding transmission shaft, and the grounding switch limit plate rotates synchronously with the grounding transmission shaft. A corresponding limit groove is provided on the shell wall of the frame, and the top of the limit groove is the grounding closing limit end.

[0013] Furthermore, when the grounding drive shaft rotates, the grounding switch moves away from the main circuit of the load switch to form a grounding switch off state. A protrusion is provided on one side of the grounding crank arm, and the top surface of the protrusion is a limit surface. When the grounding switch is in the off state, the limit surface of the grounding crank arm contacts the side wall of the frame to form a limit. The grounding knife clamp of the grounding switch is close to the side wall of the frame and an electrical gap is met between it and the conductive tube of the load switch.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper contact assembly includes a static contact and a matching upper support. The static contact is fixed to the frame via the upper support. The load switch is fixed to the frame via the middle support and the lower support. A grounding switch rotation space is formed between the upper support and the middle support.

[0015] Furthermore, a main transmission shaft is provided on the frame, and the main transmission shaft controls the load switch to close and open the switch through a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a first crank arm, a linkage rod, and a second crank arm connected in sequence. The second crank arm is fixed on the isolation transmission shaft. The main transmission shaft and the isolation transmission shaft are installed on the frame. A grounding transmission shaft is installed above the main transmission shaft of the frame. A grounding knife clamp is provided on the grounding transmission shaft. The grounding transmission shaft, the main transmission shaft, and the isolation transmission shaft are arranged from top to bottom.

[0016] The grounding switch and load switch share a common housing. The grounding switch is secured to the housing via a mounting bracket and can rotate under the constraints of the mounting bracket and bearings to open and close the grounding switch. The grounding switch is positioned inside the load switch, creating a centrally mounted design that reduces the overall longitudinal length of the switch. This design offers advantages such as a rational structure, safety, reliability, and adaptability to a wide range of installations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
