[0013] Preferably, an air storage cavity is provided inside the air storage box, a damping plug is movably sleeved inside the air storage cavity, and a side of the damping plug away from the air inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to a pulling rod.

[0014] Preferably, the method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Confirm the initial status. Before performing any operation, check the connection of each component of the isolating switch operating mechanism to ensure that the handle shaft assembly, the mechanism frame in the connecting rod mechanism, the lever, the trip buckle, the upper connecting rod, the lower connecting rod, the driving part and the lock buckle are firmly connected without any looseness. At the same time, confirm that the lock buckle and the trip buckle are in a normal engagement state, the springs are not deformed or damaged, and the entire operating mechanism is in the initial preparation state.

[0015] Step 2: The closing operation is executed. Turn the operating handle, and the handle shaft rotates accordingly. The driving gear on the handle shaft drives the slider to slide in the housing. The toggle slots on both sides of the slider drive the toggle rods on both sides of the lever, causing the lever to rotate around the mechanism frame. The lever pulls the connecting rod shaft through the main spring, and the main spring begins to store energy. As the lever continues to rotate, the connecting rod shaft drives the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod to rotate. When the main spring passes the dead point, the main spring releases energy. The connecting rod shaft drives the driving part to rotate rapidly with the help of the upper connecting rod and the lower connecting rod. The driving part transmits the driving force to the main shaft of the switch body, causing the switch body to perform the closing action.

[0016] Step 3: Prepare for reclosing after a fault. If a line fault causes the operating mechanism to trip and open, when preparing to reclose after eliminating the fault, the toggle piece on the lever interacts with the arc-shaped raised part in the middle of the tripping buckle. When the lever rotates, the toggle piece drives the arc-shaped raised part, driving the tripping buckle to move, so that the tripping buckle and the lock buckle are re-engaged, thereby preparing for the closing operation again and ensuring that the operating mechanism can return to normal working state.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This type of disconnector operating mechanism with a quick-trip function and its operating method, by providing a handle shaft assembly to transmit the rotational force of the operating handle to the connecting rod mechanism, so that the connecting rod mechanism drives the switch body to open or close, thereby meeting the requirements of the disconnector's rotary operation mode. The lock and trip latch of the connecting rod mechanism are engaged. When a line fault occurs, the lock and trip latch can quickly trip, achieving quick tripping and opening of the operating mechanism, thereby protecting equipment and lines from damage. When closing the switch, the operating handle is rotated, and the operating handle drives the lever to rotate through the handle shaft assembly. The lever pulls the connecting rod shaft through the main spring to activate the main spring to start storing energy. The connecting rod shaft drives the upper and lower connecting rods to rotate. When the main spring passes the dead point, the main spring releases energy, and the connecting rod shaft drives the driver to quickly operate through the upper and lower connecting rods. The driver drives the main shaft of the switch body to operate, achieving quick closing of the switch body, thereby improving the disconnecting capacity of the operating mechanism.

[0018] 2. This type of disconnector operating mechanism with a quick trip function and its operating method are used in combination with a rotating rod and an air storage box. When the switch is closed normally, the reset torsion spring is pre-twisted to store elastic potential energy, maintaining the stable engagement between the trip button and the lock button. When a line fault occurs, the electromagnetic tripper drives the trip button to rotate, the torsion angle of the reset torsion spring increases, and the potential energy further accumulates. When the engagement between the two is broken, the reset torsion spring instantly releases a large amount of elastic potential energy, which is converted into kinetic energy for the rotation of the trip button, achieving quick tripping. At the same time, the tripping movement of the trip button drives the connector, the pull rod, and the damping plug to allow the air storage box to inhale air through the intake pipe, and exhaust air through the exhaust pipe when resetting. The resistance generated by the intake and exhaust of the intake and exhaust pipes effectively suppresses the swing of the trip button. The sealing plate inside the intake pipe cooperates with the partition and the flow cavity, the guide vanes inside the guide cover subdivide the airflow, and the air supply design of the intake channel ensures stable and efficient intake and exhaust. In addition, the various components of the operating mechanism are closely linked, and the tripping trigger signal can be accurately transmitted to the tripper in the event of a fault, ensuring that it responds in time to complete the tripping action, and comprehensively guaranteeing the timeliness, stability and reliability of the disconnector tripping.

The upper connecting rod 24 is connected to the jumper 23 through the upper connecting shaft 202, and the lower connecting rod 25 is connected to the driving member 26 through the lower connecting shaft 203. The driving member 26 is a driving gear 33, which meshes with the transmission gear on the main shaft of the switch body 40, and transmits the driving force of the lower connecting rod 25 to the main shaft of the switch body 40 to realize the opening and closing action.

The interior of the air inlet pipe 12 and the outer wall of the fixed pin 7 are adapted to each other, and an expansion cavity 121 is provided inside the air inlet pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe 13. A partition 122 is fixedly installed inside the expansion cavity 121, and a flow cavity 123 is provided inside the partition 122. The interior of the flow cavity 123 is movably sleeved with a movable sleeve rod 15, and one end of the movable sleeve rod 15 is fixedly connected to a sealing plate 124. The outer wall of the sealing plate 124 is fitted with the top of the flow cavity 123, and the movable sleeve rod 15 is away from the sealing plate 124. The end of the expansion chamber 121 is fixedly installed with an extrusion plate 127, and the outer wall of the movable sleeve rod 15 near the extrusion plate 127 is movably sleeved with a cross bar 1261. A spring 126 is provided between the extrusion plate 127 and the cross bar 1261, and the outer wall of the spring 126 and the outer wall of the movable sleeve rod 15 are intertwined with each other. The side of the expansion chamber 121 is connected with a throat pipe 1211, and the side of the throat pipe 1211 is connected with a narrow cavity 1212. A guide cover 1210 is fixedly installed on the side of the throat pipe 1211 near the expansion chamber 121. An air intake passage 129 is defined on the side of the air pipe 12. The interior of the air intake passage 129 communicates with the interior of the throat pipe 1211. A guide vane 1213 is fixedly connected to the interior of the air guide cover 1210. The angles of the guide vanes 1213 on both sides range from 40 to 45 degrees. An air storage chamber 91 is defined within the air storage box 9. A damping plug 92 is movably sleeved within the air storage chamber 91. The side of the damping plug 92 away from the air intake pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe 13 is fixedly connected to a pull rod 1001. When the switch is normally closed, the trip button 23 and the lock button 28 remain engaged. At this time, the rotating rod 6 will rotate inside the movable circular opening 51, and at the same time, the reset torsion spring 55 connected to the heat dissipation rod 56 fixedly connected to the side of the rotating rod 6 is in a certain pre-twisted state, storing elastic potential energy. The torque generated by the torque makes the trip button 23 tend to maintain its current position, ensuring that the entire operating mechanism is stably in the closed state. When a line fault occurs and an abnormal condition such as a short-circuit current is generated, the electromagnetic release associated with it will be activated, and the driving force generated by the trip trigger device will act on the trip button 23. Since the trip button 23 is connected to the mechanism frame 21 through the rotating rod 6 and the reset torsion spring 55 is sleeved on the side of the rotating rod 6, when it is driven by the trip trigger device, the trip button 23 begins to drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. As the trip button 23 rotates, the torsion angle of the reset torsion spring 55 is further increased, and the stored elastic potential energy is also further increased. When the trip button 23 rotates to a certain angle, its engagement with the lock button 28 is broken, and the lock button 28 Under the combined action of the torque of the reset torsion spring 55 and the electromagnetic release, the trip button 23 is quickly separated from the trip button 23. At the same time, the large amount of elastic potential energy stored in the reset torsion spring 55 is released instantly and converted into kinetic energy for the rapid rotation of the trip button 23, so that the trip button 23 completes the tripping action at a faster speed and realizes rapid tripping. After rapid tripping, the moving contact of the disconnector is quickly separated from the static contact, cutting off the circuit, thereby protecting the line and equipment from damage by the fault current. Afterwards, when the fault is eliminated and the circuit breaker needs to be reclosed, the operating mechanism is reset by external operation, the trip button 23 is engaged with the lock again, and the reset torsion spring 55 is restored to its initial pre-twisted state, preparing for the next possible tripping action. When the trip button 23 is in the engaged state, once a tripping action is required, the trip button 23 starts to move. At this time, the connecting piece 11 connected to the outer wall of the trip button 23 will move accordingly, thereby driving the pull rod 1001 to be withdrawn from the inside of the gas storage box 9. Since the pull rod 1001 is fixedly connected to the damping plug 92, the damping plug 92 will also follow the pull rod 10 01 moves together. It should be noted here that the pulling rod 1001 and the gas box 9 are movably connected on one side, and the damping plug 92 is limited in the gas storage cavity 91 of the gas box 9 and will not break away from it. In addition, at the end of the gas box 9 away from the pulling rod 1001, two symmetrical intake pipes 12 and exhaust pipes 13 are fixedly installed. When the damping plug 92 moves to one side with the pulling rod 1001, the gas box 9 will inhale through the inside of the intake pipe 12, and when the jump button 23 cancels the buckle, it starts to reset. When the trip button 23 is released, it pushes the connecting piece 11, thereby causing the pulling rod 1001 to move toward the inside of the gas storage box 9. At this time, the damping plug 92 fixedly connected to the pulling rod 1001 will discharge the previously inhaled gas through the exhaust pipe 13. The resistance generated by the suction and exhaust process can effectively prevent the trip button 23 from swinging left and right due to the force generated by other resets during the disengagement process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the trip button 23 tripping action. The intake pipe 12 assumes the suction function.The exhaust pipe 13 is responsible for exhaust. The internal parts of the two are the same but arranged in opposite directions. The suction and related reset process of the intake pipe 12 are described in detail below. When the jump button 23 acts, it drives the connecting piece 11, the pulling rod 1001 and the damping plug 92 to move, prompting the air storage box 9 to inhale air through the intake pipe 12, a series of precise actions occur in sequence. In the internal structure of the intake pipe 12, the sealing plate 124 is in contact with the partition 122 under normal conditions, tightly sealing the top of the flow chamber 123. The suction force generated by the intake air will cause the sealing plate 124 to move upward and break away from the contact with the partition 122. At this time, the top of the flow chamber 123 is opened, and the gas is able to enter, first entering the narrow cavity 1212. In the narrow cavity 1212, due to the gradual narrowing of the space, the gas is compressed. The compressed gas then flows through the throat pipe 1211. A guide cover 1210 is provided inside the throat pipe 1211. The guide vane 1213 inside the guide cover 1210 has an angle of 40 to 45 degrees with the gas flow direction. This special angle can subdivide the airflow, and the subdivided airflow enters the expansion chamber 121, where the gas pressure is buffered and adjusted, and then smoothly enters the air storage chamber 91 through the flow chamber 123 to complete the air inhalation process. It is worth noting that the bottom of the sealing plate 124 is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve rod 15, and the bottom of the movable sleeve rod 15 passes through the cross bar 1261, and its end is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 127. It can be clearly seen from Figure 12 that a spring 126 is provided between the cross bar 1261 and the extrusion plate 127. When the sealing plate 124 moves upward by the suction force, the extrusion plate 127 is driven upward by the movable sleeve rod 15, and the extrusion plate 127 will squeeze the spring 126, so that the spring 126 stores elastic potential energy for accumulation of force. When the suction is completed, the suction force on the sealing plate 124 disappears. At this time, the spring 126 is reset by virtue of the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the extrusion plate 127 back to its original position. Since the extrusion plate 127 is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve rod 15, the movable sleeve rod 15 will drive the sealing plate 124 to move downward and re-fit the top of the flow chamber 123 to form a sealed state again. This design can effectively prevent the gas from leaking out from the inside of the intake pipe 12 during the exhaust process, further improving the stability and reliability of the isolating switch operating mechanism during the tripping action 23. In the design of the throat pipe 1211, in order to further ensure sufficient gas supply, an air intake channel 129 is added to the side of the throat pipe 1211. When the gas is compressed in the shrinking chamber, a part of the gas will pass through the throat pipe 1211 according to the original path, and enter the expansion chamber 121 after being subdivided by the guide cover 1210; at the same time, the compressed gas can also use the air intake channel 129 on the side to directly replenish the gas inside. This design effectively avoids the impact of insufficient gas volume on the operation effect of the entire system, ensuring that during the inhalation process, there is enough gas to smoothly enter the expansion chamber 121 and finally reach the inside of the gas storage chamber 91, providing stable and sufficient gas source support for suppressing the swing of the trip button 23, and further improving the performance and stability of the operating mechanism of the disconnector.When the trip button 23 is reset, it will push the connecting piece 11, and the connecting piece 11 will drive the pulling rod 1001 and the damping plug 92 to move in the opposite direction, thereby causing the gas storage box 9 to exhaust through the exhaust pipe 13. Under the action of the exhaust power, the sealing plate 124 inside the exhaust pipe 13 moves away from the sealing position, which is opposite to the upward movement direction of the sealing plate 124 in the intake pipe 12 when inhaling air, and opens the channel of the flow cavity 123. At this time, the gas in the gas storage cavity 91 is pressurized and first enters the contraction cavity of the exhaust pipe 13. After the gas is accelerated in the contraction cavity, it flows into the throat pipe 1211 in the reverse direction. In the throat pipe 1211, the gas passes through the guide vane 1213. Due to the intake pipe 12 and the exhaust The air pipe 13 is distributed in a mirror image, and the guide vanes 1213 guide the gas to flow in an orderly manner in the opposite direction to that during inhalation. Then, the gas continues to flow and is discharged through the expansion cavity 121. During the inhalation process, the air inlet channel 129 on the side of the throat pipe 1211 is used to replenish the gas. When the gas is compressed in the shrinking cavity of the air inlet pipe 12, a part of the gas will pass through the throat pipe 1211 according to the original path, and enter the expansion cavity 121 after being subdivided by the guide vanes 1213; at the same time, the compressed gas can also be replenished to the interior with the help of the air inlet channel 129 to avoid insufficient gas volume. The bottom of the sealing plate 124 is connected to the movable sleeve rod 15, and the movable sleeve rod 15 penetrates The cross bar 1261 is connected to the extrusion plate 127 at the end. When the sealing plate 124 moves away from the sealing position, the extrusion plate 127 squeezes the spring 126 to store force. After the exhaust is completed, the spring 126 resets and pushes the extrusion plate 127, driving the movable sleeve rod 15 and the sealing plate 124 back to the position of the sealed flow chamber 123, preventing the gas from being sucked into the exhaust pipe 13 during inspiration. Through the mirrored design of the intake pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe 13 with the same parts structure, the operating mechanism realizes orderly inspiration and exhaust, and uses the resistance generated by the gas flow to effectively suppress the swing of the trip button 23 during tripping and resetting, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the operating mechanism of the disconnector. When trip button 23 resets and triggers the exhaust action, the pressurized gas in gas storage chamber 91 is accelerated through the contraction chamber of exhaust pipe 13 and flows back into throat pipe 1211. Then, it is systematically guided to expansion chamber 121 by guide vanes 1213. At this point, exhaust pipe 13 is fixedly connected to delivery pipe 8 via a hose. Gas flows through the hose into delivery pipe 8 and then into transverse groove 53. Due to the high-speed flow of gas within transverse groove 53, according to the principles of fluid mechanics, a significant suction force is generated within annular groove 54. This suction force effectively draws heat generated by the return torsion spring 55 during deformation or operation into transverse groove 53. The top of transverse groove 53 is connected to an L-shaped groove. This absorbed heat is discharged out of the mechanism along with the gas through the L-groove. In this way, the heat generated by the return torsion spring 55 is continuously removed, preventing accelerated aging or performance degradation due to excessive temperature, thereby significantly extending the service life of the return torsion spring 55 and ensuring the long-term and stable operation of the disconnector operating mechanism.

[0024] Working principle: When in use, Step 1: Normal closing and fault tripping process During normal closing operation, the trip latch 23 engages with the lock latch 28, and the rotating rod 6 rotates within the movable circular opening 51, causing the reset torsion spring 55, which is sleeved on the heat dissipation rod 56, to pre-twist and store elastic potential energy, maintaining a stable closing state. In the event of a line fault, the electromagnetic release is activated, and the driving force acts on the trip latch 23, driving the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The torsion angle of the reset torsion spring 55 increases, and its potential energy increases. When the trip latch 23 rotates to a specific angle and disengages from the lock latch 28, the reset torsion spring 55 releases its potential energy to help the trip latch 23 quickly complete the tripping, separating the moving and static contacts of the disconnector and disconnecting the circuit. After the fault is eliminated, external operation resets the mechanism, the trip latch 23 re-engages with the lock latch 28, and the reset torsion spring 55 returns to its pre-twisted state.

[0025] Step 2: Stable suction and exhaust mechanism during tripping When the trip button 23 is released, the connecting part 11 moves accordingly, driving the pulling rod 1001 to be pulled out from the gas storage box 9, and the damping plug 92 follows the movement. The pulling rod 1001 is movably connected to one side of the gas storage box 9, and the damping plug 92 is limited in the gas storage chamber 91; the intake pipe 12 and the exhaust pipe 13 on the gas storage box 9 play a role, and the movement of the damping plug 92 causes the gas storage box 9 to inhale air through the intake pipe 12: the sealing plate 124 is separated from the partition 122 by the suction force, opening the flow chamber 123, and the gas enters the narrow chamber 1212 and is compressed. When flowing through the throat 1211, it is subdivided by the guide vane 1213, enters the expansion chamber 121 for buffering, and then enters the gas storage chamber 91. The air intake channel 129 assists in air replenishment; when inhaling, the sealing plate 124 drives the extrusion plate 127 to squeeze the spring 126 to accumulate force. At the end of inhalation, the spring 126 resets and pushes the extrusion plate 127 to make the sealing plate 124 reseal the flow chamber 123. When the trip button 23 is reset, the gas storage box 9 is exhausted through the exhaust pipe 13, and the sealing plate 124 inside the exhaust pipe 13 moves in the opposite direction to open the channel. The gas is accelerated by the contraction chamber and guided by the throat 1211, and then discharged through the expansion chamber 121. The resistance generated by the intake and exhaust ensures the stability of the tripping and resetting action of the trip button 23.

[0026] Step 3: Reset the heat dissipation protection function during exhaust The reset of trip button 23 triggers exhaust. The gas in storage chamber 91 accelerates through the contraction chamber of exhaust pipe 13, flows in the opposite direction into throat pipe 1211, and is guided by guide vanes 1213 into expansion chamber 121. It then enters transverse groove 53 through a flexible tube connected to delivery pipe 8. The high-speed flow of gas within transverse groove 53 creates a suction force within annular groove 54, drawing heat generated by the return torsion spring 55 into transverse groove 53. The heat is then discharged through the L-shaped groove at the top of transverse groove 53, preventing the return torsion spring 55 from aging due to overheating and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the disconnector operating mechanism.
