In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a disconnector and a switch cabinet, the switch cabinet comprising a cabinet 20, a bus bar 21, a grounding bar 22, a voltage transformer inner cone 23 and a disconnector. The disconnector is used to be arranged on the cabinet 20 of the switch cabinet, the cabinet 20 is provided with a bus bar 21 and a grounding bar 22, the disconnector comprises an operating straight rod 11, a conductive rod 13 and a transmission assembly 12, the operating straight rod 11 is slidably arranged on the cabinet 20, the conductive rod 13 is slidably arranged on the voltage transformer inner cone 23 located in the cabinet 20, the transmission assembly 12 is located in the cabinet 20, the transmission assembly 12 connects the operating straight rod 11 and the conductive rod 13, the operating straight rod 11 moves through the transmission assembly 12 to drive the conductive rod 13 to move, so that the first end of the conductive rod 13 is connected to the bus bar 21 to close the switch or the second end of the conductive rod 13 is connected to the grounding bar 22 to open the switch.
[0042] By setting a switch cabinet with an isolating switch, when a voltage transformer is needed, the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer is connected to the bus bar 21 through the conductive rod 13, and when a voltage transformer is not needed, the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer is disconnected from the bus bar 21 and connected to the grounding bar 22 through the conductive rod 13, thereby controlling the on and off of the bus bar 21 and the voltage transformer, thereby improving safety. By sliding the operating straight rod 11 through the cabinet 20, and sliding the conductive rod 13 on the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer, the straight rod 11 is pushed and pulled, and when the operating straight rod 11 moves, the conductive rod 13 is driven to move through the transmission assembly 12, so that the conductive rod 13 is connected to the bus bar 21 to achieve closing or connected to the grounding bar 22 to achieve opening, and the "direct-acting type" is used instead of the existing "wrench type", the overall structure is flatter, the required operating space is smaller, the overall structure is simplified, and the used parts are reduced, thereby reducing the occupied space and helping to save assembly time.
[0043] Specifically, the axes of the operating rod 11 and the conductive rod 13 are parallel; one end of the operating rod 11 is located inside the cabinet 20 and connected to the transmission assembly 12, and the other end of the operating rod 11 extends outside the cabinet 20. During operation, the operating rod 11 is pushed and pulled along the axis of the operating rod 11 outside the cabinet 20, and the conductive rod 13 can be driven to move through the transmission assembly 12, thereby achieving closing or opening of the switch.
[0044] Furthermore, the isolating switch further includes a sealing structure 17, in which the operating rod 11 is slidably inserted, and the sealing structure 17 is used to be embedded and fixed on the cabinet 20. By arranging the sealing structure 17 to be embedded and fixed on the cabinet 20, it is helpful to ensure the sealing of the cabinet 20. In this embodiment, the sealing structure 17 is annular and is a dynamic seal, which means that the sealing can be achieved when the operating rod 11 is in a moving state. The specific structure and material used for the dynamic seal can be set with reference to the prior art.
[0045] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 12 includes a base 121 and a swing rod 122. The base 121 is used to be fixed on the cabinet 20. The swing rod 122 is rotatably set on the base 121. The first end of the swing rod 122 is hinged to the operating straight rod 11. The second end of the swing rod 122 is slidably connected to the conductive rod 13. The movement of the operating straight rod 11 drives the swing rod 122 to rotate, thereby pulling the conductive rod 13 to move.
[0046] By setting a base 121 and a swing rod 122, the swing rod 122 is rotatably set on the base 121, and the swing rod 122 is used to transmit force between the operating straight rod 11 and the conductive rod 13.

[0048] Three conductive rods 13 and corresponding swing rods 122 are arranged to correspond to the three-phase circuit. A rotating shaft 123 is rotatably arranged on the base 121. Each swing rod 122 is fixed on the rotating shaft 123. The operating straight rod 11 is connected to the first swing rod 122. When the operating straight rod 11 moves, the first swing rod 122 and the rotating shaft 123 are driven to rotate synchronously, and the rotating shaft 123 drives the remaining swing rods 122 to rotate, thereby realizing the three-phase synchronous opening and closing action, which is helpful to connect or disconnect the circuit at the same time, protect the voltage transformer, and avoid current dislocation or voltage imbalance.
[0049] In this embodiment, two bases 121 are provided, and both ends of the rotating shaft 123 are rotatably provided on one base 121; the swing rod 122 and the rotating shaft 123 are both made of insulating material; two or three conductive rods 13 are arranged side by side at intervals, and the three swing rods 122 are arranged side by side at intervals and fixed on the rotating shaft 123. The swing rod 122 located in the middle position among the three swing rods 122 is the first swing rod 122, and the operating straight rod 11 is hinged to the end of the first swing rod 122; the extension direction of the rotating shaft 123 intersects with the extension direction of the conductive rod 13; the cross-sectional profile shape of the middle part of the rotating shaft 123 is a regular hexagonal deformation. In other embodiments, the cross-sectional profile shape of the middle part of the rotating shaft 123 can also be a triangle or a quadrilateral.
[0050] Specifically, three groups of mounting through holes are provided on the rotating shaft 123 for passing through limit members, each group includes two mounting through holes, and each swing rod 122 is located between the two mounting through holes in the same group; the limit member is passed through the mounting through hole and both ends extend outside the mounting through hole, and the two limit members respectively stop the swing rod 122 from both sides to prevent relative movement between the swing rod 122 and the rotating shaft 123.
[0051] See also Figure 8 Optionally, the operating straight rod 11 and the first end of the swing rod 122 are hinged through a connecting piece, and a retaining spring 18 is provided at the hinge, and the retaining spring 18 is sleeved on the connecting piece for fixing and limiting the axial movement of the connecting piece; the connecting piece can be a connecting pin.
[0052] In this embodiment, a waist-shaped hole is provided at the second end of the swing rod 122, and the conductive rod 13 is connected to the second end of the swing rod 122 through a fixing member, and the fixing member is inserted into the waist-shaped hole and can slide in the waist-shaped hole; the fixing member can be a positioning pin. In other embodiments, a cylindrical protrusion can also be provided on the conductive rod 13, and the cylindrical protrusion can be inserted into the waist-shaped hole and slide in the waist-shaped hole.

By arranging the fastener 14, the conductive rod 13 is connected to the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer through the fastener 14, and when the conductive rod 13 moves, the fastener 14 slides in the slide groove 131, which can not only ensure that the conductive rod 13 is connected to the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer, but also realize the opening and closing operation by using the movement of the conductive rod 13.
[0054] Optionally, the disconnector further comprises a first elastic member 15, which is disposed between the fastener 14 and the conductive rod 13, so that the conductive rod 13 contacts the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer. By disposing the first elastic member 15 and compressing the first elastic member 15 with the fastener 14, the elastic force is used to ensure that the conductive rod 13 and the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer maintain contact and conduction.
[0055] In this embodiment, an auxiliary sleeve is inserted into the conductive rod 13, the first elastic member 15 is arranged between the auxiliary sleeve and the fastener 14, the first elastic member 15 is sleeved outside the auxiliary sleeve, one end of the fastener 14 presses against the first elastic member 15 and the other end passes through the auxiliary sleeve and is fixed on the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer.
[0056] Optionally, at least two fasteners 14 are provided, and the two fasteners 14 are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the moving direction of the conductive rod 13. By providing two fasteners 14, the two fasteners 14 are spaced apart along the moving direction of the conductive rod 13, which neither affects the movement of the conductive rod 13 nor helps to ensure the stability of the connection between the conductive rod 13 and the inner cone 23 of the voltage transformer. In this embodiment, the conductive rod 13 moves along its own axial direction, the slide groove 131 is provided in the middle of the conductive rod 13, and the axial direction of the conductive rod 13 is the length direction of the slide groove 131.

By providing the second elastic member 16, the conductive rod 13 and the bus bar 21 or the grounding bar 22 can be in contact and connected through the second elastic member 16, thereby preventing the manual operation of the straight rod 11 from being out of place and thus affecting the normal operation of the isolating switch.
[0058] Optionally, a mounting groove 132 is provided at the end of the conductive rod 13, and the second elastic member 16 is at least partially disposed in the mounting groove 132 and fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove 132. The mounting groove 132 provided on the conductive rod 13 can not only accommodate the second elastic member 16, but also limit the second elastic member 16, thereby preventing the second elastic member 16 from deforming in an uncontrolled and unexpected direction when it is extended or retracted.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first elastic member 15 and the second elastic member 16 are both springs; the end of the second elastic member 16 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting slot 132 of the conductive rod 13 by screws. In other embodiments, the second elastic member 16 can also be fixed by welding or clamping.
[0060] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following is the specific use process of the isolating switch (taking the horizontal push-pull operation straight rod 11 as an example):
[0061] When opening the circuit breaker, push the operating rod 11 from left to right, the operating rod 11 moves to the right, drives the swing rod 122 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, and the swing rod 122 pulls the conductive rod 13 to move to the left, and the first end of the conductive rod 13 gradually moves away from the busbar 21 until the second end of the conductive rod 13 contacts and connects with the grounding bar 22, thus achieving opening the circuit breaker. Figure 2 At this time, in the open state, the central axis of the swing rod 122 forms an angle θ with the vertical direction; in this embodiment, the angle θ is 15 degrees.
[0062] When closing the circuit breaker, pull the operating rod 11 to the left, and the operating rod 11 moves to the left, driving the swing rod 122 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. The swing rod 122 pushes the conductive rod 13 to move to the right, and the second end of the conductive rod 13 gradually moves away from the grounding bar 22 until the first end of the conductive rod 13 contacts and connects with the busbar 21, thereby achieving closing the circuit breaker.
