Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a disconnecting switch with an interlocking control mechanism for opening and closing positions. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage disconnect switches are important switching devices in the electrical systems of power plants and substations, and must be used in conjunction with high-voltage circuit breakers. Disconnect switches are suitable for indoor installations of three-phase AC 50Hz with a rated voltage of 12kV. They are used to connect, disconnect, or switch lines when high-voltage equipment is under parallel load.
[0003] Its main functions are to ensure the safety of high-voltage electrical appliances and equipment during maintenance and to isolate voltage. It cannot be used to cut off or connect load current or interrupt short-circuit current. It can only be used for certain switching operations that do not generate a strong electric arc. In other words, it does not have an arc-extinguishing function. Since the contacts of the high-voltage disconnector are all exposed to the air and have a clear disconnection point, and since the disconnector does not have an arc-extinguishing device, it cannot be used to cut off load current or short-circuit current. Otherwise, under the action of high voltage, a strong electric arc will be generated at the disconnection point, which is difficult to extinguish on its own and may even cause a flying arc (phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase short circuit), burn out equipment, and endanger personal safety. This is the so-called serious accident of "pulling the disconnector under load".
[0004] Therefore, existing disconnect switches often have an additional opening and closing interlocking control mechanism to prevent equipment damage caused by load opening and closing due to their lack of arc extinguishing function. For this reason, it is necessary to set up a disconnect switch with an opening and closing interlocking control mechanism to prevent equipment burnout caused by working under load. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention addresses the problem of overly simplistic solutions in existing technologies by providing a significantly different solution. The present invention provides a disconnecting switch with an interlocking control mechanism for opening and closing positions. This solves the problem that existing disconnecting switches lack arc-extinguishing devices, and therefore require an additional interlocking control mechanism to prevent arcing during opening and closing.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a disconnecting switch with an interlocking control mechanism for opening and closing positions, comprising a base, two insulators disposed on the base, a terminal block disposed at the end of the insulators, and further comprising:
[0007] The switch is used to connect two terminal blocks. The switch is equipped with an operating mechanism and a contact point at the end of the switch. Two engaging grooves are formed in the inner wall of the rotating hole of the terminal block on this side. The other end of the switch contacts another terminal block through the contact point to achieve the opening and closing effect.
[0008] An interlocking mechanism is provided on one side of the switch to control the circuit breaker so that it can only be operated when the circuit breaker is de-energized;
[0009] A contact cleaning mechanism is provided on the side of the contact. It is used to cover the contact to reduce oxidation and clean its surface during the opening phase of the switch.
[0010] Furthermore, the operating mechanism includes a fixed block and a deflection block. The fixed block is connected to the knife gate by a fastener, and the deflection block is connected to the fixed block by a rotating shaft. An additional connecting spring is provided between the deflection block and the fixed block for resetting. The end of the deflection block is provided with a hook-shaped structure, and the terminal block used in conjunction with it has grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, the interlocking mechanism includes an interlocking component and a locking control component. The interlocking component includes a telescopic connecting arm and a deflection motor. The telescopic connecting arm and the deflection motor are connected. The end of the telescopic connecting arm is connected to the driven friction rod via a rotating shaft. The driven friction rod is connected to the electrically controlled telescopic rod via a sliding block. A rotating plate is provided on the corresponding end of the switch. The rotating plate deflects synchronously with the switch. A locking control component is provided above the driven friction rod.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the breaker is connected to one of the terminal blocks via a locking control assembly, enabling it to rotate. The locking control assembly has a rotating shaft and two threaded discs slidably connected to the breaker. Each threaded disc has an engaging block on its inner side, which engages with an engaging groove. The two threaded discs are connected by a bidirectional screw, which is located inside the rotating shaft. The threaded discs and the rotating shaft are slidably connected through each other. The end of the bidirectional screw is connected to a torsion spring friction sleeve, which contacts a driven friction block. A transmission belt is provided on the torsion spring friction sleeve, and the transmission belt and the driven friction block are staggered with respect to the torsion spring friction sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the threads on the bidirectional screw are divided into two opposite parts, which can cause the two threaded discs to move relative to each other when the screw rotates.
[0014] Furthermore, the contact cleaning mechanism includes a connecting plate and a driven friction wheel that are connected to the sliding guide block at the other end of the switch. A contact plate is provided below the connecting plate. The driven friction wheel is rotatably connected to the switch. The driven friction wheel and the torsion spring friction sleeve are connected by a transmission belt. The driven friction wheel and the connecting plate are connected by a friction plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the driven friction wheel, friction plate, driven friction rod, and torsion spring friction sleeve are all made of high-friction and wear-resistant material.
[0016] Furthermore, the drive motor and the control switch for the electrically controlled telescopic rod are electrically connected to the circuit breaker.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0018] Firstly, by setting up an additional interlocking control mechanism for opening and closing that works in conjunction with the circuit breaker, the disconnecting switch can only be operated when the circuit breaker is in the open state. Moreover, the operation of this interlocking control mechanism is simple: when the disconnecting switch is closed, the disconnecting switch must be closed before the circuit breaker can be closed; when the circuit breaker is opened, the circuit breaker must be opened first. When the disconnecting switch needs to be operated, the circuit breaker is always in the open state.
[0019] Secondly, by setting up a contact point cleaning mechanism that works in conjunction with the opening and closing interlocking mechanism, this cleaning mechanism can clean the surface oxides during the closing movement, preventing the presence of oxides from causing a decrease in the contact effect of the contact points and indirectly leading to an increase in contact resistance (when the contact resistance increases, the contact point temperature will also rise, accelerating oxidation and ablation).
[0020] Thirdly, during the opening process, the interlocking mechanism automatically locks the switch when the opening angle reaches a certain range, preventing the switch from accidentally falling off after the traction mechanism is removed, thus preventing accidental closing. This improves the safety of the switch during opening, ensuring it remains within a safe range.
[0021] In summary, by setting up an interlocking control mechanism, the disconnecting switch can be guaranteed to be free from arcing during use. Furthermore, through this interlocking control mechanism, when the switch is opened to a certain range... Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] The following is combined Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a disconnecting switch with an interlocking control mechanism for opening and closing positions, including a base 1, two insulators 2 disposed on the base 1, a terminal block 3 disposed at the end of the insulators 2, and further comprising;
[0042] The switch 5 is used to connect two terminal blocks 3. The switch 5 is provided with an operating mechanism 6 and a contact point 52 at the end of the switch 5. Two engaging grooves 31 are opened in the inner wall of the rotating hole of the terminal block 3 on this side. The other end of the switch 5 contacts another terminal block 3 through the contact point 52 to achieve the opening and closing effect.
[0043] Interlocking mechanism 4, which is located on one side of the switch 5, is used to control the switch so that it can only be operated when the circuit breaker is de-energized;
[0044] The contact cleaning mechanism 7 is located beside the contact and is used to cover the contact to reduce oxidation and clean its surface when the switch 5 is open.
[0045] Specifically, the operating mechanism 6 includes a fixed locking block 62 and a deflection locking block 61. The fixed locking block 62 is connected to the knife gate 5 by fasteners. The deflection locking block 61 is connected to the fixed locking block 62 by a rotating shaft. An additional connecting spring is provided between the deflection locking block 61 and the fixed locking block 62 for resetting. The end of the deflection locking block 61 is provided with a hook-shaped structure. The terminal block 3 used in conjunction with it has grooves.
[0046] Specifically, the interlocking mechanism 4 includes an interlocking component and a locking control component 46. The interlocking component includes a telescopic connecting arm 41 and a deflection motor 42. The telescopic connecting arm 41 and the deflection motor 42 are connected. The end of the telescopic connecting arm 41 is connected to the driven friction rod 43 through a rotating shaft. The driven friction rod 43 is connected to the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 through a sliding block. A rotating plate 48 is provided on the corresponding end of the switch 5. The rotating plate 48 deflects synchronously with the switch 5. The locking control component 46 is provided above the driven friction rod 43.
[0047] Specifically, one end of the switch 5 is connected to one of the terminal blocks 3 via a locking control assembly 46, enabling it to rotate. The locking control assembly 46 has a rotating shaft and two threaded discs 462 that are slidably connected to the switch 5. Each threaded disc 462 has an engaging block 463 on its inner side, which engages with an engaging groove 31. The two threaded discs 462 are connected by a bidirectional screw 461 located inside the rotating shaft. The threaded discs 462 are slidably connected to the rotating shaft. The end of the bidirectional screw 461 is connected to a torsion spring friction sleeve 464, which contacts a driven friction rod 43. A transmission belt 45 is provided on the torsion spring friction sleeve 464, and the transmission belt 45 and the driven friction rod 43 are staggered with the torsion spring friction sleeve 464. The distance between the two engaging grooves 31 determines the opening angle of the switch 5. When the distance changes, the position of the spring abutment rod 47 must be adjusted accordingly to ensure proper contact.
[0048] Specifically, the threads on the bidirectional screw 461 are divided into two opposing parts, which allow the two threaded discs 462 to move relative to each other when the screw rotates. That is, when the bidirectional screw 461 rotates in one direction, the two bidirectional threaded discs 462 will move outward or inward simultaneously. The limiting effect of the two threaded discs 462 is better at this time, avoiding the deviation and tilting of the gate 5 caused by prolonged unilateral limiting.
[0049] Specifically, the contact cleaning mechanism 7 includes a connecting plate 73 and a driven friction wheel 71, which are connected to the sliding guide block 51 at the other end of the switch 5. A contact plate 74 is provided below the connecting plate 73. The driven friction wheel 71 is rotatably connected to the switch 5. The driven friction wheel 71 and the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 are connected by a transmission belt 45. The driven friction wheel 71 and the connecting plate 73 are connected by a friction plate 72.
[0050] Specifically, the outer surfaces of the driven friction wheel 71, friction plate 72, driven friction rod 43, and torsion spring friction sleeve 464 are all made of high-friction, wear-resistant material. This increases the service life by improving the coefficient of friction and wear resistance of the friction material.
[0051] Specifically, the drive motor and the control switch of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 are electrically connected to the circuit breaker.
[0052] It should be noted that the drive motor can only operate when the exerciser is powered off.
[0053] Working principle: During use, when the circuit breaker trips, the deflection motor 42 and the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 are powered. The deflection motor 42 rotates, driving the telescopic connecting arm 41 to deflect (note that the rotation angle of the deflection motor 42 is not 360°; its rotation mainly pushes the driven friction rod 43 to one side). After the telescopic connecting arm 41 deflects, it drives the driven friction rod 43 to move. Since the driven friction rod 43 is laterally restricted by the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44, the movement of the driven friction rod 43 drives the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 to rotate. In the initial stage, the bidirectional screw 461... It will rotate with it. At this time, the threaded disc 462 will move outward due to the thread action of the bidirectional screw 461 (because the threaded disc 462 is slidably connected to the side wall of the gate 5, it will not rotate with it, but will only move horizontally, and the depth of the groove is limited at the same time). When the threaded disc 462 moves to a certain extent, it can no longer move. That is, at this time the locking block 463 has disengaged from the first locking groove 31. However, at this time the driven friction rod 43 and the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 are still in contact. Therefore, the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 will continue to rotate, and the internal torsion spring will store force. When the deflection motor 42 rotates to the limit angle, it will stop rotating.
[0054] At this point, the deflection block 61 and the fixed block 62 are inserted into the groove formed by the traction mechanism (note that the traction mechanism here can be manually pulled or other upward pulling methods). The upward pull of the traction mechanism causes the deflection block 61 to rotate. As the deflection block 61 rotates, its hook-like structure moves off the terminal block 3. As the traction mechanism continues to pull upward, the switch 5 gradually deflects, and the rotating plate 48 follows suit. As the switch 5 continues to deflect, when it reaches a certain angle, the setting... The spring abutment rod 47 on the rotating plate 48 will abut against the driven friction rod 43, pressing the driven friction rod 43 down. At this time, the driven friction rod 43 releases the restriction on the torsion spring friction sleeve 464. The torsion spring friction sleeve 464 reverses under the action of the internal torsion spring, thereby driving the threaded disc 462 to move inward (at this time, the locking block 463 on the thread corresponds to the second locking groove 31). The locking block 463 on the threaded disc 462 that moves inward engages in the locking groove 31, thereby completing the locking of the switch 5 and enabling it to remain in the open state.
[0055] Secondly, when the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 rotates forward, it will drive the driven friction wheel 71 to rotate through the transmission belt 45. Since the initial position of the contact plate 74 cannot move further inward, the driven friction wheel 71 and the friction plate 72 will slip at this time. That is, the contact plate 74 will not move when rotating forward. When the torsion spring friction sleeve 464 rotates in reverse under the action of the torsion spring, the contact plate 74 will eventually move outward. During the movement, it will come into contact with the surface of the contact point 52 to produce a polishing effect. At the same time, it can cover the contact point 52 to prevent the contact point 52 from directly contacting the air, which would lead to accelerated oxidation.
[0056] When a reset is required, the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 is activated (the fixed end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 is connected to the mounting base via a spring column, allowing it to be pushed downward by the spring-loaded contact rod 47), resetting its height and bringing the driven friction rod 43 into contact with the torsion spring friction sleeve 464. At this time, the deflection motor 42 is activated to continue rotating forward. Through the rotation of the torsion spring sleeve, the contact plate 74 retracts. During the forward rotation, the threaded disc 462 releases its rotation limit. Then, the switch 5 is continuously lowered until it reaches the appropriate position. At this time, the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 descends, releasing the contact between the driven friction rod 43 and the torsion spring friction sleeve 464. Similarly, the internal torsion spring completes the reset and lock. Then, the deflection motor 42 and the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 are reset, the circuit breaker is closed, and the deflection motor 42 and the electrically controlled telescopic rod 44 are de-energized.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
