[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the switch electrical appliance of this embodiment includes a shell and a contact system 1 and two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively arranged in the shell. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 are relatively arranged on both sides of the contact system 1. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively include an upper armature 21 and a coil 22 for driving the upper armature 21 to move. The upper armatures 21 of the two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 are connected by a linkage shaft 20. The contact system 1 includes a static contact 3 and a moving contact 5 arranged on a contact support 4. The linkage shaft 20 is connected to the contact support 4. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 drive the contact support 4 to move through the linkage shaft 20, so that the contact support 4 drives the moving contact 5 to contact and separate with the static contact 3.

[0038] The switch electrical appliance of the present embodiment arranges two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 on both sides of the contact system 1 relatively, and the two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 synchronously drive the contact support 4 to move up and down, so that the contact support 4 drives the moving contact 5 to contact and separate with the static contact 3. Not only is the driving force large enough to drive one or more groups of moving contacts 5, but the two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 apply driving force from both sides to ensure balance. In particular, the electromagnetic system 2 is located on the lateral side of the contact system 1, and the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1 occupy the same height of the space, avoiding the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1 being arranged in the longitudinal direction, which can reduce the height of the switch electrical appliance. The switch electrical appliance of the present embodiment can be used at a position where the contactor cannot be installed at the original height.

[0039] like Figure 1-2As shown, the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 are relatively arranged on both sides of the contact support 4 along the first direction, the coil 22 is used to drive the upper armature 21 to move along the second direction, and drive the contact support 4 to move along the second direction, the inlet and outlet ends of the contact system 1 are arranged along the third direction, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged orthogonally and vertically to each other, the mechanism layout in the housing is reasonable, the structure is compact and the volume is small. Figure 1 , wherein the first direction is the width direction of the switch electrical appliance, the second direction is the height direction of the switch electrical appliance, and the third direction can be the length direction of the switch electrical appliance, which is used to connect the wires at both ends of the length of the switch electrical appliance.

[0040] Furthermore, two static contacts 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the contact support 4 as the incoming line end and the outgoing line end, and the two static contacts 3 are arranged along the third direction. Both ends of the moving contact 5 extend out of the contact support 4 in the third direction. The contact support 4 is used to drive the moving contact 5 to contact and separate with the static contacts 3 at both ends at the same time, which can further improve the rationality of the layout. In this embodiment, the two static contacts 3 are respectively arranged integrally with the incoming line end and the outgoing line end, that is, Figure 1 , 5 As described in the above, one end of the stationary contact 3 is provided with a stationary contact point that cooperates with the moving contact, and the other end extends out of the housing as an incoming line terminal or an outgoing line terminal for connecting to a power source. Of course, as other embodiments, the two stationary contacts 3 can also be separately provided with the incoming line terminal and the outgoing line terminal, that is, the stationary contact 3 and the terminal block serving as the incoming line terminal and the outgoing line terminal are respectively provided, and the stationary contact 3 and the terminal block are connected by welding, riveting or screws, and can also be indirectly connected by a conductor.

[0041] like Figure 1-2As shown, the housing includes a base 61 and an arc extinguishing cover 62 arranged on the top side of the base 61, an upper cover 63 is arranged above the arc extinguishing cover 62, the contact system 1 is arranged inside the arc extinguishing cover 62 and the base 61, an arc extinguishing mechanism is arranged in the arc extinguishing cover 62, two boss structures 64 are provided on the top side of the base 61, and the middle parts of the two boss structures 64 are respectively provided with groove structures 66 for accommodating the electromagnetic system 2, and the electromagnetic system 2 is installed in the groove structure 66. Preferably, the groove structure 66 is provided with a notch near the side wall of the housing, and the housing is provided with a side cover 67 corresponding to the notch, which is used to protect the electromagnetic system 2 and also facilitate the replacement of the electromagnetic system 2; in this embodiment, the side cover 67 is L-shaped, corresponding to the top and side notches of the groove structure 66, and of course, it can also be other structures. Furthermore, the top side of the base 61 is also provided with two side covers 65 respectively used to cover the two boss structures 64. The two boss structures 64 are arranged on both sides of the arc extinguishing cover 62 opposite to each other, and the height of the boss structure 64 is less than the height of the arc extinguishing cover 62, so that the internal space is more reasonably used. Of course, the height of the boss structure 64 can also be greater than or equal to the height of the arc extinguishing cover 62. The bottom side of the base 61 is provided with a bottom cover 68, and a reaction spring 7 connected to the contact support 4 is provided between the base 61 and the bottom cover 68. In this embodiment, the reaction spring 7 is used to drive the contact support 4 to drive the moving contact 5 away from the static contact 3 to form a normally open contact. When the coil 22 is energized, the moving contact 5 and the static contact 3 are closed by pressing the contact support 4; when the coil 22 is de-energized, the reaction spring 7 and the contact spring 40 push the contact support 4 to separate the moving contact 5 and the static contact 3. The shell structure of this embodiment facilitates the installation of the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1. Obviously, as other embodiments, the shell may only have a base and an upper cover, or a left shell and a right shell, or may be assembled from more shell structures, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 6As shown, the housing is provided with a circuit board 23 connected to the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively, and the circuit board 23 can make the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 work. If there is a short circuit, overload, etc., the coil voltage is disconnected in time, so that the contact support 4 drives the moving contact 5 to contact and separate from the static contact 3, so as to realize the closing and disconnection of the switch. Preferably, the circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit, which can realize overload, and / or short circuit, and / or undervoltage, and / or overvoltage protection, etc.; for example, the circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit and a current acquisition circuit, the control unit is connected to the electromagnetic system 2 to drive the electromagnetic system 2 to work, and the control unit is connected to the current acquisition circuit to collect the current of the main circuit to detect overload or short circuit faults, and when an overload or short circuit fault occurs, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to work, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3. Furthermore, the circuit board 23 is also provided with a voltage collection circuit. The control unit is connected to the voltage collection circuit to collect the voltage of the main circuit to detect overvoltage or undervoltage faults. When an overvoltage or undervoltage fault occurs, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the stationary contact 3 is provided with a sensor 24 connected to the circuit board 23. The circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit and a current acquisition circuit and a voltage acquisition circuit. The current acquisition circuit and the voltage acquisition circuit respectively detect the current and voltage of the stationary contact 3 through the sensor 24. When the control unit detects the occurrence of overload and short-circuit fault current through the current acquisition circuit, it drives the electromagnetic system 2 to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the stationary contact 3. When the control unit detects the occurrence of overvoltage fault current through the voltage acquisition circuit, it drives the electromagnetic system 2 to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the stationary contact 3. For example, when the current or voltage on the stationary contact 3 exceeds a threshold value, the current acquisition circuit and the voltage acquisition circuit respectively output corresponding fault signals to the circuit board 23, and the duration of the fault signal is recorded through the circuit board 23. When the duration of the fault signal meets the threshold value, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the stationary contact 3. The fault current may be overload, short circuit, undervoltage and overvoltage, or any combination thereof, so that the switch electrical appliance has overload, short circuit, undervoltage and / or overvoltage protection functions on the basis of the control circuit. Of course, the circuit board 23 may also be arranged at other positions, such as the side of the electromagnetic system 2, and the sensor 24 may also be arranged on the wiring terminal or the moving contact or other conductive elements of the main circuit, all of which belong to the protection scope of the invention. The sensor 24 may be a resistor, a mutual inductor, etc.

[0044] The housing is provided with contact terminals 27 on both side walls in the first direction, i.e., the width direction, for connecting the control circuit of the corresponding electromagnetic system 2. In this embodiment, two circuit boards 23 are provided in the housing, and the two circuit boards 23 are respectively connected to the two groups of electromagnetic systems 2.

The two groups of wiring mechanisms are relatively arranged on both sides of the corresponding electromagnetic system 2, and each group of wiring structures includes two groups of contact terminals 27 connected to the circuit boards 23. The contact terminals 27 are used to connect the control circuit of the corresponding electromagnetic system 2 to realize external control of the electromagnetic system 2.

[0045] Further, the circuit board 23 has the function of the residual current in the coil 22 of the electromagnetic system 2, and the circuit board 23 includes a quick release circuit. The coil is an inductor element, which belongs to an energy storage element. After the power is off, there is still an induced current inside the coil. The armature 21 will produce residual magnetism, which hinders the release of the armature 21. The quick release circuit is connected to the coil 22 of the electromagnetic system 2 to eliminate the residual current in the coil 22. In this embodiment, the two circuit boards 23 are respectively provided with quick release circuits for connecting to the coils 22 of the two electromagnetic systems 2. The quick release circuit is used to eliminate the residual current in the coil 22 after the coil 22 is powered off. The quick release circuit includes a resistor and a diode, and the quick release circuit of the prior art can also be used. In this embodiment, two circuit boards 23 are set. The two circuit boards 23 can not only realize the control of the two electromagnetic systems 2 separately, but also the two electromagnetic systems 2 can be protected by the corresponding circuit boards 23 respectively. Of course, as other embodiments, one or more circuit boards 23 may be provided, and one circuit board 23 may be connected to two electromagnetic systems 2 at the same time, or multiple circuit boards 23 may be connected, and the middle sensor 24 transmits the electrical signal to all circuit boards 23, and the circuit boards 23 then control their respective electromagnetic systems 2 respectively, thereby achieving control of the electromagnetic systems 2 on both sides.

It can be understood that the number of the supporting structures can also be adjusted, and the number of the moving contact 5 and the static contact 3 is also adjusted accordingly according to the number of supporting structures, for example, one, two supporting structures, or more than three supporting structures are arranged, and the multiple supporting structures can be integrally injected to form the contact support 4, or multiple supporting structures can be spliced ​​to form the contact support 4, or multiple supporting structures are respectively connected to the linkage shaft 20. The multiple supporting structures are arranged along the length direction of the linkage shaft 20, and the two electromagnetic systems 2 can simultaneously drive the multiple supporting structures to move through the linkage shaft 20, and the height of the switch electrical appliance will not be increased.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, arc extinguishing mechanisms are respectively provided at both ends of the moving contact 5, and the arc extinguishing mechanisms include an arc extinguishing structure 83. In this embodiment, the arc extinguishing cover 62 is respectively provided with an arc-striking piece 81 and an arc-isolating piece 82 at both ends corresponding to the moving contact 5 in the third direction, and an arc extinguishing structure 83 located between the arc-striking piece 81 and the arc-isolating piece 82, and the arc extinguishing structure 83 includes a plurality of arc-striking pieces arranged at intervals, the arc-striking piece 81 is located on the side of the arc-striking structure 83 close to the moving contact 5, and the arc-isolating piece 82 is located on the side of the arc-striking structure 83 away from the moving contact 5, the arc-striking piece 81 is used to guide the arc to the arc extinguishing structure 83, and a plurality of arc-striking pieces separate the arc to play an arc extinguishing role, the arc-isolating piece 82 is used to block the arc, and the upper cover 63 is used to protect the arc-striking piece 81, the arc-isolating piece 82 and the arc extinguishing structure 83 in the arc extinguishing cover 62, and in this embodiment, the two arc-striking pieces 81 at both ends of each moving contact 5 are connected.
