Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a switch, and more particularly to a fusion switch. Background Technology

[0002] Patent CN202311153259.5 provides a fusion switch, including: a circuit breaker; a precharge switch; and a transmission mechanism operably disposed between the main shaft of the circuit breaker and the precharge moving contact of the precharge switch. The transmission mechanism is driven by the main shaft during rotation, causing the precharge moving contact to rotate between a precharge closed position and a precharge open position. During the rotation of the main shaft along a first direction to rotate the moving contact from the open position to the closed position, the main shaft drives the transmission mechanism to rotate the precharge moving contact from the precharge open position to the precharge closed position. If precharge is successful, the main shaft continues to rotate, driving the moving contact to the closed position. Simultaneously, the main shaft again drives the transmission mechanism to rotate the precharge moving contact from the precharge closed position to the precharge open position. During the rotation of the main shaft along a second direction opposite to the first direction to rotate the moving contact from the closed position to the open position, the main shaft can drive the moving contact to rotate through the transmission mechanism to reach the open position. This patent describes a mechanism that connects the main shaft of the circuit breaker to the pre-charge moving contact of the pre-charge switch. This mechanism allows the pre-charge spring to close before the main shaft rotates to the closing position in the first direction (closing direction) and to open before the main shaft rotates to the opening position in the second direction (opening direction). The patent does not show the specific structure of the circuit breaker, only a portion of the pre-charge switch structure, which includes a pre-charge spring. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the circuit breaker also includes a circuit breaker spring to enable rapid opening and closing of the circuit breaker moving contact via a snap-action mechanism. Therefore, in the aforementioned prior art, during the entire rotation of the main shaft in the first and second directions, the pivoting driving force of the main shaft needs to simultaneously drive the circuit breaker spring and the pre-charge spring to store energy, requiring a significant pivoting driving force from the main shaft.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the first motor output wheel 413 and the second motor output wheel 414 are disposed between the first support plate 411a and the second support plate 411b, and the two are connected by a first gear transmission group to form a synchronous rotation relationship. The first motor output wheel 413 is sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 412 and is directly driven to rotate by the drive motor 412. The first support plate 411a and the second support plate 411b form a speed-regulating transmission gear cavity for the output of the drive motor 412.

[0051] The central axes of the main circuit drive shaft 416 and the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 are both arranged along the third direction Z and are fixed through the first support plate 411a, the second support plate 411b, and the third support plate 411c. The main circuit drive shaft 416 and the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 are located on both sides of the second motor output wheel 414, and are respectively connected to the second motor output wheel 414 through a second gear transmission group and a third gear transmission group. The second gear transmission group and the third gear transmission group are fixed between the second support plate 411b and the third support plate 411c. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the second motor output wheel 414 and the third motor output wheel 415 rotate synchronously. The main circuit drive shaft 416 and the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 are respectively provided with a main circuit drive wheel 416a and a pre-charge circuit drive wheel 418a. The main circuit drive wheel 416a and the pre-charge circuit drive wheel 418a are located on both sides of the third motor output wheel 415 and mesh with the third motor output wheel 415 to form synchronous rotation.

[0052] The main circuit drive shaft 416 and the main circuit drive wheel 416a are engaged by a first one-way clutch mechanism. When the main circuit drive wheel 416a rotates in one direction, they are engaged, driving the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate. When the main circuit drive wheel 416a rotates in the opposite direction, they are disengaged, preventing the main circuit drive shaft 416 from rotating. Similarly, the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 and the pre-charge circuit drive wheel 418a are engaged by a second one-way clutch mechanism. When the pre-charge circuit drive wheel 418a rotates in one direction, they are engaged, driving the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate. When the pre-charge circuit drive wheel 418a rotates in the opposite direction, they are disengaged, preventing the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 from rotating. Furthermore, the first and second one-way clutch engagement structures have opposite clutch directions, ensuring that when the third motor output wheel 415 rotates in the first rotation direction, it can drive the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate but cannot drive the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate. Conversely, when the third motor output wheel 415 rotates in the second rotation direction, which is opposite to the first rotation direction, it can drive the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate but cannot drive the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate. Through this structural arrangement, the rotation of the main circuit drive shaft 416 and the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 can be controlled by the forward and reverse rotation of a single drive motor.

[0053] The first one-way clutch engagement structure and the second one-way clutch engagement structure have the same structure. Taking the first one-way clutch engagement structure as an example, as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the main circuit drive wheel 416a has a first mating groove 416b on the outer periphery of its central hole. The two ends of the inner wall of the first mating groove 416b are a first mating surface 416c and a first separation surface 416d, respectively. Figure 9 As shown, the main circuit drive shaft 416 has a radially arranged first mounting groove 416e on its outer periphery, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the first mounting groove 416e is provided with a first ball 416f and a first elastic member 416g. The first elastic member 416g exerts an outward thrust on the first ball 416f, keeping it in contact with the circumferential wall of the center hole of the main circuit drive wheel 416a. Figure 10As shown, when the main circuit drive wheel 416a and the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a are rotated clockwise, the first ball 416f engages with the first mating surface 416c, causing the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate clockwise with the main circuit drive wheel 416a. The second ball 418f engages with the second separation surface 418d, causing the second ball 418f to retract inward, thus preventing the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 from rotating clockwise with the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a. When the main circuit drive wheel 416a and the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a are rotated counterclockwise, the second ball 418f engages with the second mating surface 418c, causing the second ball 418f to retract inward, thus preventing the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 from rotating counterclockwise with the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a. The second ball 416f engages with the first separation surface 416d, thus preventing the main circuit drive shaft 416 from rotating counterclockwise with the main circuit drive wheel 416a.

[0054] Furthermore, the first separation surface 416d is a spiral variable diameter arc surface, the first mating surface 416c is a plane and connected to the larger radius end of the first separation surface 416d, the smaller radius end of the first separation surface 416d and the smaller radius end of the first mating surface 416c have the same radius, the first mating groove 416b is provided in two and is concentrically symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the main circuit drive wheel 416a, and the two first mating grooves 416b are transitioned by a cylindrical curved surface adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the main circuit drive shaft 416. The second separation surface is a spiral variable diameter arc surface. The second mating surface 418c is a plane and is connected to the larger radius end of the second separation surface. The smaller radius end of the second separation surface 418d is equal to the smaller radius end of the second mating surface 418c. There are two second mating grooves 418b, which are concentrically symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a. The two second mating grooves 418b are connected by a cylindrical curved surface adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the precharge circuit drive shaft 418.

[0055] like Figure 12 As shown, the main circuit switch housing assembly 200 is provided with a first transmission housing 210 and a main circuit switching housing 220 in sequence along the first direction X. The main circuit switch mechanism 500 includes a main circuit free tripping mechanism located in the first transmission housing 210 and a main circuit switching device located in the main circuit switching housing 220. The first transmission housing 210 is provided with a first transmission through hole 214 opened along the second direction Y on the side near the drive mechanism housing assembly 100.

[0056] The main circuit free release mechanism includes a first multi-link mechanism with an energy storage component. The first multi-link mechanism with an energy storage component includes a first arc-shaped motion input end 511 and a first rotary motion output end. The rotation center axis of the first arc-shaped motion input end 511 and the rotation center axis of the first rotary motion output end are both arranged along the first direction X. The first arc-shaped motion input end cooperates with the drive mechanism 400 in the drive mechanism housing assembly 100 through the first transmission through hole 214.

[0057] The first multi-link mechanism with energy storage includes a first input arm, an upper link, a lower link, an output shaft, a first jump fastener, a first locking fastener 512, and a first energy storage spring. The first locking fastener 512 has a locked position and an unlocked position: in the locked position, it engages with the first jump fastener, storing energy in the first energy storage spring; in the unlocked position, it releases the engagement with the first jump fastener, releasing energy from the first energy storage spring. When the first locking fastener 512 is in the locked position, the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage has a closed state and a normal open (re-delayed open) state, meaning that driving the first arc-shaped motion input end 511 allows the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage to switch between the closed state and the normal open (re-delayed open) state; when the first locking fastener 512 is in the unlocked position, the release of energy from the first energy storage spring drives the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage to perform a tripping open action, switching the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage to the tripping open state. Specifically, the mating structure of the first input arm, upper connecting rod, lower connecting rod, output shaft, jump fastener, first locking fastener 512, and first energy storage spring is largely the same as that in the applicant's earlier application CN202422239960.5, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] The first main circuit operation transmission unit 420 and the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 are respectively engaged with the first arc-shaped motion input terminal 511 and the first locking member 512 through the first transmission through hole 214. Specifically, as shown... Figure 11 As shown, the first main circuit operation transmission unit 420 includes a first slider 421 and a first guide rail 422 that limits the linear sliding of the first slider 421. The first slider 421 moves linearly along the second direction Y on the first guide rail 422. The first slider 421 is inserted into and cooperates with the first arc-shaped motion input end 511, thereby driving the first arc-shaped motion input end 511 to move in an arc shape on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X. The main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 includes a first electromagnetic push block 431, which cooperates with the first locking member 512. When the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 receives a signal, the first electromagnetic push block 431 actuates to move the first locking member 512 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0059] The first main circuit operation transmission unit 420, the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430, and the main circuit drive shaft 416 are connected by a transmission mechanism via a main circuit drive sliding assembly 417. Specifically, the main circuit drive sliding assembly 417 includes a second slider 417a and a second guide rail 417b that limits the linear sliding movement of the second slider 417a. The lower end of the main circuit drive shaft 416 is connected to a synchronously rotating first rotating arm 416i. The second slider 417a is provided with a second sliding groove 417c arranged along the first direction X. The outer end of the first rotating arm 416i is provided with a transmission wheel that extends into the second sliding groove 417c. The rotation of the main circuit drive shaft 416 drives the first slider 421 to slide along the first direction X. The second slider 417a and the first slider 421 are linked and cooperate. At the same time, the first electromagnetic push block 431 is provided with a first reset push rod 431a extending to one side of the second slider 417a. It is used to drive the main circuit drive shaft 416 to perform a closing action through the electric operating mechanism 410, thereby resetting the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 and re-closing the main circuit free trip mechanism. Through the cooperation of the first rotating arm 416i and the second slide groove 417c, the main circuit drive shaft 416 can drive the second slider 417a to complete a reciprocating sliding action along the first direction X by rotating the shaft 416 in only one rotation direction. The two ends of the second slider 417a sliding linearly along the first direction X correspond to the closing state and normal opening (re-closing opening) of the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage device, respectively. Therefore, the main circuit drive shaft 416 can drive the first multi-link mechanism with energy storage device to complete two switching actions between the closing state and normal opening by rotating the shaft 416 in only one rotation direction. In the closed state, the angle of the first rotating arm 416i is not completely vertical, but slightly tilted. The tilting method is consistent with the tripping action driving direction, so as to avoid the second slider 417a sliding and causing the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate in the opposite direction to the preset direction, thus avoiding interference with the electric drive mechanism.

[0060] The precharge circuit housing assembly 300 is provided with a second transmission housing 310 and a precharge circuit switching housing 320 in sequence along the first direction X. The precharge circuit switching mechanism 600 includes a precharge circuit free tripping mechanism located in the second transmission housing 310 and a precharge circuit switching device located in the precharge circuit switching housing 320. The second transmission housing 310 is provided with a second transmission through hole 313 opened along the second direction Y on the side near the drive mechanism housing assembly 100.

[0061] like Figure 13As shown, the precharge circuit free release mechanism includes a second multi-link mechanism with an energy storage component. The second multi-link mechanism with an energy storage component includes a second arc-shaped motion input end 611 and a second rotational motion output end. The rotation center axis of the second arc-shaped motion input end 611 and the rotation center axis of the second rotational motion output end are both arranged along the first direction X. The second arc-shaped motion input end 611 cooperates with the drive mechanism 400 in the drive mechanism housing assembly 100 through the second transmission through hole 313.

[0062] The second multi-link mechanism with energy storage includes a second input arm, an upper link, a lower link, an output shaft, a second jump fastener, a second locking fastener 612, and a second energy storage spring. The second locking fastener 612 has a locked position and an unlocked position: in the locked position, it engages with the second jump fastener, causing the second energy storage spring to store energy; in the unlocked position, it releases the engagement with the second jump fastener, causing the second energy storage spring to release energy. Similarly, the second multi-link mechanism with energy storage has a closed state, a normal open (re-tripped open) state, and a tripped open state. Specifically, the cooperation structure of the second input arm, upper link, lower link, output shaft, jump fastener, second locking fastener 612, and second energy storage spring is largely the same as that in the applicant's earlier application CN202422239960.5, and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] The first precharge circuit operation transmission unit 440 and the precharge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 are respectively engaged with the second arc-shaped motion input end 611 and the second locking member 612 through the second transmission through hole 313. Specifically, the first precharge circuit operation transmission unit 440 includes a third slider and a third guide rail that limits the linear sliding of the third slider. The third slider moves linearly along the second direction Y on the third guide rail. The third slider is inserted into the second arc-shaped motion input end 611, thereby driving the second arc-shaped motion input end 611 to move in an arc shape on a plane perpendicular to the first direction X. The precharge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 includes a second electromagnetic push block, which engages with the second locking member. When the precharge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 receives a signal, the second electromagnetic push block moves, causing the second locking member 612 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0064] The first precharge circuit operation transmission unit 440, the precharge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450, and the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 are connected by a precharge circuit drive sliding assembly 419. The specific connection structure is the same as that between the first main circuit operation transmission unit 420, the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430, the main circuit drive shaft 416, and the main circuit drive sliding assembly 417, and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] The control board integrates a control system, such as Figure 14 As shown, it includes:

[0066] The circuit breaker closing and opening control signal input unit is used to receive switch closing control signals and switch opening control signals.

[0067] A precharge circuit status signal receiving unit is used to receive the precharge circuit status signal;

[0068] The main circuit status signal receiving unit is used to receive the main circuit status signal;

[0069] The precharge circuit closing control unit is used to output a first drive signal to the drive motor 412 to drive the drive motor 412 to rotate in the first rotation direction until the precharge circuit switching mechanism 600 switches to the closing state.

[0070] The main circuit closing control unit is used to output a second drive signal to the drive motor 412 to drive the drive motor 412 to rotate in the second rotation direction until the main circuit switching mechanism 500 switches to the closing state.

[0071] The first precharge circuit tripping control unit is used to output a third drive signal to the drive motor 412 to drive the drive motor 412 to rotate in the first rotation direction until the precharge circuit switching mechanism 600 switches to the normal tripping (re-tripping) state.

[0072] The first main circuit tripping control unit is used to output a fourth drive signal to the drive motor 412 to drive the drive motor 412 to rotate in the second rotation direction until the main circuit switching mechanism 500 switches to the normal tripping (re-tripping) state.

[0073] The central control unit is connected to the opening and closing control signal input unit, the precharge circuit closing control unit, the main circuit closing control unit, the precharge circuit status signal receiving unit, the main circuit status signal receiving unit, the first precharge circuit opening control unit, and the first main circuit opening control unit;

[0074] The control system has a first control mode. In the first control mode, an initial state is set, where both the main circuit free trip mechanism and the precharge circuit free trip mechanism are in a normal tripping (re-tripping) state. At this time, the states of the first one-way clutch engagement structure, the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive sliding component, and the precharge circuit drive sliding component are as follows: Figure 15 As shown in (a), and in the first control mode, the central control unit executes the following process:

[0075] When the opening and closing control signal input unit receives the switch closing control signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the precharge circuit closing control unit. The drive motor 412 rotates in the first rotation direction, controlling the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate, causing the precharge circuit free trip mechanism to complete the closing action. The precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 switches to the closing state. At the same time, under the action of the first one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive shaft 416 remains stationary, and the main circuit switch mechanism 500 maintains the normal opening (re-clutching) state. At this time, the states of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive sliding component, and the precharge circuit drive sliding component are as follows: Figure 15 As shown in (b); at this time, the precharge circuit is energized to form a temporary path for controlled charging of the downstream capacitive load, avoiding damage to the equipment from the surge current at the moment of power-on;

[0076] When the precharge circuit status signal receiving unit receives the precharge completion signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the main circuit closing control unit, driving the drive motor 412 to rotate in the second rotation direction, controlling the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate, causing the main circuit free trip mechanism to complete the closing action, and the main circuit switch mechanism 500 switches to the closed state. Simultaneously, under the action of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 remains stationary, and the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 maintains the closed state. At this time, the states of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive sliding component, and the precharge circuit drive sliding component are as follows: Figure 15 As shown in (c);

[0077] When the main circuit status signal receiving unit receives a closed main circuit status signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the second precharge circuit tripping control unit. The drive motor 412 rotates in the first rotation direction, controlling the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate, causing the precharge circuit free tripping mechanism to complete the tripping action. The precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 switches to the normal tripping (re-tripping) state. At this time, the main circuit switch mechanism 500 remains closed. The states of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive sliding assembly, and the precharge circuit drive sliding assembly are as follows: Figure 15 As shown in (d);

[0078] When the opening and closing control signal input unit receives the switch opening control signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the second main circuit opening control unit, and the drive motor 412 rotates in the second rotation direction to control the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate, so that the main circuit free trip mechanism completes the opening action. The main circuit switch mechanism 500 switches to the normal opening (re-delay opening) state. At the same time, under the action of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 remains stationary, and the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 maintains the normal opening (re-delay opening) state.

[0079] In the above process, the rotation angle controlled by the drive motor 412 at each stage can be set based on a preset program, or the time to stop driving can be determined based on the precharge circuit status signal and the main circuit status signal received by the precharge circuit status signal receiving unit and the main circuit status signal receiving unit.

[0080] Furthermore, it includes a power module for connecting to a power supply. The power module is a DC-DC power module used to adapt the external power supply output to the system's low-voltage power supply.

[0081] The opening and closing control signals include power on / off signals. When the power module is connected to the power supply, it is the closing control signal; when the power module is disconnected from the power supply, it is the opening control signal.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the system uses only whether the power module is energized as the switch closing control signal and switch opening control signal. The opening and closing control signal input unit is the power module, which powers the system as a power input module. At the same time, whether the power module is energized is also used as the control signal input for whether the switch performs opening and closing actions.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the system uses only BMS control signals as the switch closing and opening control signals. The switch closing and opening control signal input unit is a BMS (Battery Management System) signal receiving module, which is connected to the Battery Management System (BMS) and used to receive control signals from the BMS, including switch closing and opening control signals. The power module only serves as a power input module to supply power to the system.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, the control system includes:

[0085] The second precharge circuit tripping control unit is used to output the fifth drive signal to the precharge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450;

[0086] The second main circuit tripping control unit is used to output the sixth drive signal to the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430;

[0087] The central control unit is connected to the second pre-charge circuit tripping control unit and the second main circuit tripping control unit.

[0088] The control system has a second control mode. In the second control mode, an initial state is set, with both the main circuit free trip mechanism and the precharge circuit free trip mechanism in the tripped open state. At this time, the states of the first one-way clutch engagement structure, the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive sliding component, and the precharge circuit drive sliding component are as follows: Figure 16 As shown in (a), and in the second control mode, the central control unit executes the following process:

[0089] When the opening and closing control signal input unit receives the switch closing control signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the pre-charge circuit closing control unit, driving the motor 412 to rotate in the first rotation direction, controlling the pre-charge circuit drive shaft 418 to rotate. Figure 16 As shown in (b), the precharge circuit free-release mechanism completes the re-clamping action, and then as follows: Figure 16 As shown in (c), the rotation continues to complete the closing action, causing the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 to switch to the closed state. At the same time, under the action of the first one-way clutch engagement structure, the main circuit drive shaft 416 remains stationary, and the main circuit switch mechanism 500 remains in the tripped open state. At this time, the precharge circuit is energized to form a temporary path for controlled charging of the downstream capacitive load, avoiding damage to the equipment from the surge current at the moment of power-on.

[0090] When the precharge circuit status signal receiving unit receives the precharge completion signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the main circuit closing control unit, driving the motor 412 to rotate in the second rotation direction, controlling the main circuit drive shaft 416 to rotate. Figure 16 As shown in (d), the main circuit free-release mechanism completes the re-locking action, and then as follows: Figure 16 As shown in (e), the rotation continues to complete the closing action, the main circuit switch mechanism 500 switches to the closed state, and at the same time, under the action of the second one-way clutch engagement structure, the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 remains stationary, and the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 maintains the closed state.

[0091] When the main circuit status signal receiving unit receives a closed main circuit status signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the first pre-charge circuit tripping control unit. The pre-charge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 is energized and actuates, and the pre-charge circuit free tripping mechanism performs a tripping action. Figure 16 As shown in (f), the precharge circuit switching device is switched to the tripped state, at which time the main circuit switching mechanism 500 remains in the closed state;

[0092] When the opening and closing control signal input unit receives the switch opening control signal, the central control unit outputs a signal to the first main circuit opening control unit, the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 is energized and the main circuit free trip mechanism performs a trip opening action, so that the main circuit switching device switches to the trip opening state, that is, returns to the initial state.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, the control system has a third control mode, namely a manual tripping mode. Manually driving the main circuit drive shaft 416 in a second rotational direction switches the main circuit switch mechanism 500, which is in the closed state, to a normal tripping (re-tripping) state. Similarly, manually driving the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 in a first rotational direction switches the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600, which is in the closed state, to a normal tripping (re-tripping) state. This third control mode is used for emergency manual disconnection in case of a fault. In the first and second one-way clutch engagement structures, manually driving the main circuit drive shaft 416 and the precharge circuit drive shaft 418 will not drive the main circuit drive wheel 416a and the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a, and correspondingly, will not drive the motor output transmission gear assembly meshed by the main circuit drive wheel 416a and the precharge circuit drive wheel 418a.

[0094] Furthermore, a manual / electric switching module is provided. This module outputs a signal to de-energize the drive motor 412 and prevent it from starting during manual operation, thus avoiding accidental starting of the drive motor 412 and potential damage to the operating shaft. Specifically, the manual / electric switching module can be a microswitch.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, the control system has a fourth control mode for tripping in case of a fault. The first precharge circuit tripping control unit and / or the second precharge circuit tripping control unit operate based on a precharge circuit fault signal, achieving tripping of the precharge circuit switching mechanism at 600°. The first main circuit tripping control unit and / or the second main circuit tripping control unit operate based on a main circuit fault signal, achieving tripping of the main circuit switching mechanism at 500°. Specifically, the precharge circuit fault signal and the main circuit fault signal can be a precharge circuit tripping command and a main circuit tripping command issued by the battery management system (BMS) based on the fault results detected by its built-in circuit fault detection module. Alternatively, in the system of this application, corresponding circuit fault detection modules can be installed for the main circuit and the precharge circuit respectively, and when a corresponding circuit fault is detected, a corresponding tripping command can be issued.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, the second pre-charge circuit tripping control unit and the second main circuit tripping control unit are respectively integrated with a first energy storage element and a second energy storage element for releasing electrical energy; a power failure detection module is provided to detect the voltage status of the power supply connected to the system; when the power failure detection module detects a power failure, the first energy storage element and / or the second energy storage element supply power to the pre-charge circuit electromagnetic trip unit and / or the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit, so that the pre-charge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 and the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430 can be energized and operated when the system is powered off. Specifically, after the entire closing action is completed, the main circuit is closed and the pre-charge circuit is opened, so it can be set to send a signal only to the main circuit tripping control unit to discharge the second energy storage element to achieve the purpose of electromagnetic drive tripping. There is a certain probability of power failure occurring in the intermediate state between the main circuit closing and the pre-charge circuit closing. Therefore, a signal is simultaneously sent to both the pre-charge circuit tripping control unit and the main circuit tripping control unit, energizing both the pre-charge circuit electromagnetic trip unit and the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit for tripping action. This method is safer. Alternatively, the corresponding module can be selected to send the signal based on the check results of whether the main circuit switch and the pre-charge circuit switch are properly closed. In some embodiments of this application, the first energy storage element and the second energy storage element store electrical energy when the power module is energized, and the stored electrical energy is sufficient to satisfy one operation of the pre-charge circuit electromagnetic trip unit 450 and the main circuit electromagnetic trip unit 430. Specifically, the first energy storage element and the second energy storage element are respectively capacitors.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the fault detection action for the precharge circuit is performed after the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 is closed and before the main circuit switch mechanism 500 is closed. When a fault is detected in the precharge circuit, the precharge circuit switch mechanism 600 is directly opened and the main circuit switch mechanism 500 is no longer closed.

[0098] In some embodiments of this application, a main circuit closing delay module is provided. When the precharge circuit status signal receiving unit receives the precharge completion signal, after the main circuit closing delay module delays the signal, the main circuit closing control unit outputs a second drive signal to the drive motor 412.
