[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 :

[0039] The detector housing 1 is provided with a total switch housing 2.

[0040] The total switch housing 2 is composed of a side plate 21, an intermediate housing 22 and a main housing 23. The total switch housing 2 is installed in the detector housing 1.

[0041] A motor 3 is installed in the total switch housing 2. A worm 4 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 3. The worm 4 is engaged with an input gear 51 of a gear transmission set 5. An output gear 52 of the gear transmission set 5 is engaged with a sector tooth of a driving member 53. A square hole 54 is formed in the center of the shaft of the driving member 53. A total switch 6 extends a square rod 61 which is inserted into the square hole 54.

[0042] A fault arc detection plate 7 and a wireless communication gateway plate 8 are also installed in the total switch housing 2. A 4G module and a Bluetooth module are installed on the wireless communication gateway plate 8.

[0043] The 4G module is connected with an antenna 11 installed outside the detector housing 2 through an intermediate connecting line 10.

[0044] The circuit on the fault arc detection plate 7 is connected with the 4G module and the Bluetooth module respectively, and sends signals to the 4G module and the Bluetooth module.

[0045] The Bluetooth module is connected with the motor 3 and sends control signals to the motor 3 to control the motor 3.

[0046] The circuit can be designed according to the prior art.

[0047] A plurality of disconnecting switch housings 9 are also installed in the detector housing 1, and a disconnecting switch 91 is installed in each of the disconnecting switch housings 9.

[0048] A motor is installed in each of the disconnecting switch housings 9, a worm is installed on an output shaft of the motor, the worm is engaged with an input gear of a gear transmission set, an output gear of the gear transmission set is engaged with a sector tooth of a driving member, a square hole is formed in a center of a shaft of the driving member, a square rod of the disconnecting switch 91 is inserted into the square hole, a wireless communication gateway board is installed in the disconnecting switch housing 9, and a Bluetooth module is installed on the wireless communication gateway board. The Bluetooth module is connected with the motor and sends control signals to the motor 3 to control the motor 3. The structure in this section is the same as the corresponding structure in the main disconnecting switch.

[0049] A residual current transformer 12 is also installed in the detector housing 1.

[0050] The Bluetooth module in the main disconnecting switch housing 2 and the Bluetooth modules in the disconnecting switch housings communicate with each other in a Bluetooth mode.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,

[0052] According to the prior art, the external wires B are connected to the disconnecting switch 91.

[0053] There are three disconnecting switches 91, i.e. three groups of external wires B, and each group has two wires connected from three branches.

[0054] The live wire C and the zero wire D connected from the main disconnecting switch 6 are connected to the residual current transformer 12.

[0055] The wire E connected from the main disconnecting switch 6 is connected to the disconnecting switch 91.

[0056] The wire F connected from the disconnecting switch 91 is connected to the circuit of the fault arc detection board 7 after passing through the residual current transformer 12.

[0057] Finally, the fault arc detector as described in Figure 6 is formed.

[0058] In actual operation:

[0059] Under normal circumstances, the main disconnecting switch 6 and the disconnecting switch 91 are always open.

[0060] When a possible fire-causing fault arc (including parallel arc and series arc) or other hazards occurs in the electric wire B connected to the disconnector switch 91, the electric wire F passing through the residual current transformer after the disconnector switch 91 is disconnected will make the residual current transformer 12 detect the signal. Since the current waveform in each electric wire connected to the disconnector switch 91 is different, the signal detected by the residual current transformer 12 is also different. The signal is sent to the circuit of the fault arc detection board 7. The circuit of the fault arc detection board 7 compares and determines which electric wire B (i.e. which branch) connected to the disconnector switch 91 has the possible fire-causing fault arc, and the intensity of the fault arc. The branch with the fault arc and the intensity signal of the fault arc are sent to the 4G module on the wireless communication gateway board 8. The 4G module sends a fire-fighting signal to the nearby fire-fighting facilities, the main control room, etc. through the antenna 11, and the danger is automatically or manually handled.

[0061] If the intensity of the fault arc is greater than the set value, which means high danger, the fault arc detection board 7 sends a control signal to the Bluetooth module on the wireless communication gateway board 8. The Bluetooth module controls the motor 3 to start. The output shaft of the motor drives the worm 4 to rotate. The worm 4 drives the input gear 51 of the gear transmission set 5 to rotate. The gear transmission set 5 drives the output gear 52 of the gear transmission set 5 to rotate. The output gear 52 drives the driving member 53 to rotate. The driving member 53 drives the square rod 61 matched with the square hole 54 to rotate. Finally, the main disconnector switch 6 is rotated to be closed, and all circuits are cut off, so as to actively mechanically cut off the power to avoid the danger from expanding.

[0062] If the fault arc intensity is less than the set value, indicating low risk, the fault arc detection plate 7 sends a control signal to the Bluetooth module on the wireless communication gateway board 8, which sends the signal to the corresponding Bluetooth module on the wireless communication gateway board in the disconnecting switch housing 9. The Bluetooth module in the disconnecting switch housing 9 controls the motor to start, and the motor output shaft drives the worm to rotate. The worm drives the input gear of the gear transmission set to rotate, and the gear transmission set drives the output gear of the gear transmission set to rotate. The output gear drives the driving member to rotate, and the driving member drives the square rod that fits with the square hole to rotate, finally making the disconnecting switch 91 rotate and close, cutting off the circuit of the branch, thus actively mechanically disconnecting the power to avoid the risk of expanding, and not affecting other branches. In the present specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other. The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application.
