[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A horizontal high-voltage disconnecting switch according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a disconnecting switch body 10 and an assembly protection device 20, wherein the assembly protection device 20 is snapped onto the disconnecting switch body 10; wherein,

[0036] The disconnector switch body 10 includes a contact mechanism 110 and a contact finger mechanism 120. It is understood that in a horizontal high-voltage disconnector switch, such as the GW4D high-voltage disconnector switch, the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120 have an open state and a closed state. In the open position, there is an insulation distance between the contacts that meets the specified requirements and a clear disconnection mark. In the closed position, it can carry the current under normal circuit conditions and the current under abnormal conditions (such as short circuit) within a specified time. This part is a technical content well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The assembly protection device 20 has a first slot 240 that matches the contact mechanism 110 and a second slot (not shown) that matches the finger mechanism 120. The assembly protection device 20 is engaged with the contact mechanism 110 through the first slot 240 and with the finger mechanism 120 through the second slot to prevent the contact mechanism 110 and the finger mechanism 120 from opening in the horizontal direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to limit and maintain the closed state of the disconnecting switch body 10, the operator will attach the first slot 240 of the mounting protection device 20 to the contact mechanism 110 and the second slot of the mounting protection device 20 to the contact finger mechanism 120. Since the mounting protection device 20 is simultaneously attached to the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120, and since the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120 are simultaneously limited in the horizontal movement direction, it is possible to prevent the contact finger mechanism 120 and the contact mechanism 110 of the disconnecting switch body 10 from suddenly tripping or tripping due to local external force, thereby injuring the workers.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to the appendix for details. Figure 6 The assembly protection device 20 includes a downward-opening slot plate 210, two first side plates 220 connected opposite to each other on both sides of the slot plate 210, and two second side plates 230 connected opposite to each other on both sides of the slot plate 210; wherein, the slot plate 210 is located on top of the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120, the first side plates 220 and the second side plates 230 are both connected to the bottom of the slot plate 210, the two first side plates 220 and the slot plate 210 together form the first slot 240, and the two second side plates 230 and the slot plate 210 together form the second slot.

[0040] For a preferred implementation, please refer to the appendix. Figures 3 to 5The contact mechanism 110 includes a horizontal contact swing arm 111 and a contact body 112. The contact body 112 is connected to the cantilever end (i.e., the end position) of the horizontal contact swing arm 111 by a first bolt 113. The finger mechanism 120 includes a horizontal finger swing arm 121 and a finger body 122. The finger body 122 is connected to the cantilever end of the horizontal finger swing arm 121 by a second bolt 123 and matches the contact body 112.

[0041] The first side plate 220 abuts against the end face of the contact body 112 away from the horizontal swing arm 121 near the contact finger, and the second side plate 230 abuts against the second bolt 123 near the end face of the horizontal swing arm 111 near the contact finger.

[0042] Specifically, when it is necessary to limit and maintain the closed state of the disconnecting switch, the operator engages the first slot 240 of the assembly protection device 20 on the contact horizontal swing arm 111 and the second slot of the assembly protection device 20 on the contact finger horizontal swing arm 121. Furthermore, the first side plate 220 abuts against the end face of the contact body 112 away from the contact finger horizontal swing arm 121 near the end face of the contact body 112, and the second side plate 230 abuts against the second bolt 123 near the end face of the contact horizontal swing arm 111 near the end face of the contact finger horizontal swing arm 111. This achieves the limitation of the assembly protection device 20 along the length direction of the slot plate 210, so that the assembly protection device 20 can be maintained simultaneously engaged on the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120, preventing the disconnecting switch body 10 from automatically opening and injuring workers during assembly and debugging.

[0043] In another preferred embodiment, the top surface of the slot plate 210 has a bolt hole 211 for bolts to pass through. A third bolt 250 passes through the bolt hole 211 and abuts against the top of the contact horizontal swing arm 111 to prevent the assembly protection device 20 from moving vertically. Specifically, after the third bolt 250 passes through the bolt hole 211 and abuts against the top of the contact swing arm, the slot plate 210 can be locked to the top of the contact horizontal swing arm 111, which can effectively prevent the assembly protection device 20 from moving vertically and also prevent the contact finger mechanism 120 and the contact mechanism 110 from tripping in another direction. At the same time, since the assembly protection device 20 is firmly connected to the disconnecting switch body 10 at this time, damage can be reduced if the switch tipps over due to a deviation in its center of gravity.

[0044] As a specific example, there are two bolt holes 211, which are arranged side by side along the width direction of the groove plate 210. The number of bolt holes 211 can be set according to actual needs, including but not limited to two. In other embodiments, the assembly protection device 20 can also be limited in height by other connecting mechanisms, such as screws or clips.

[0045] Furthermore, a handle 260 is provided on the top of the groove plate 210, and the handle 260 is located on the side of the bolt hole 211 near the finger-operating mechanism 120. The handle 260 facilitates operation by the operator, who can operate it with only one hand, making it flexible and convenient.

[0046] As a specific example, both the contact horizontal swing arm 111 and the contact finger horizontal swing arm 121 are cuboid in shape, the first side plate 220 and the second side plate 230 are both vertical plates, the inner wall of the first side plate 220 is in contact with the wall of the contact horizontal swing arm 111, and the inner wall of the second side plate 230 is in contact with the wall of the contact finger horizontal swing arm 121.

[0047] Furthermore, the ratio of the vertical dimension of the first side plate 220 to the vertical dimension of the contact horizontal swing arm 111 is set between 1 / 3 and 1 / 2. Maintaining a proper fit between the vertical dimensions of the first side plate 220 and the contact horizontal swing arm 111 ensures that the assembly protection device 20 prevents disconnection between the contact mechanism 110 and the contact finger mechanism 120 during operation, thereby improving the safety of the high-voltage disconnector during assembly and commissioning.

[0048] Furthermore, the first side plate 220 and / or the second side plate 230 are integrally formed with the groove plate 210. In one specific example, both the first side plate 220 and the second side plate 230 are integrally formed with the groove plate 210. In other embodiments, the first side plate 220 and the second side plate 230 may also be detachably connected to the groove plate 210.

[0049] Furthermore, the handle 260 and the groove plate 210 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the handle 260 and the groove plate 210 can also be detachably connected, for example, by using screws, which can be selected by those skilled in the art as needed.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of the present invention, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
