Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of changeover switch technology, and particularly to a differential changeover switch. Background Technology
[0002] The pre-opening and pre-closing functions of the transfer switch are mainly used to provide early warning prompts when operating the circuit breaker, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the operation.
[0003] Its specific functions are as follows: Pre-opening function: When preparing to open the circuit breaker, turning the selector switch to the pre-opening position will connect the pre-opening indicator light circuit and send an illumination signal to remind the operator to confirm whether the opening operation is really necessary. At this time, the opening coil will not be activated because there is a resistor and indicator light in series in the circuit, ensuring that the equipment will not be suddenly powered off due to misoperation. It provides a confirmation step to avoid sudden power outage accidents caused by misoperation. The function of pre-closing is as follows: When preparing to close the circuit, turning the selector switch to the pre-closing position will connect the pre-closing indicator light circuit and send a pre-closing signal. Similarly, because there is a resistor and indicator light in series in the circuit, the closing coil will not act immediately, reminding the operator to confirm the correctness of the operation and ensuring the safety of the closing operation. Safety mechanisms include a pre-operation position that provides an intermediate confirmation step, ensuring the stability of contact switching and preventing equipment malfunction due to sudden power outages during operation. The corresponding operation will only be executed after the operator confirms the switch is turned to the fully open or closed position.
[0004] Currently, a patent with authorization announcement number "CN221899933U" discloses a multi-functional changeover switch, including a housing, a knob, and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to the knob, and the knob is connected to an elastic pressing structure. The housing includes a positioning plate, on which a limiting module is embedded. The limiting module includes a first limiting ring coaxially arranged and a second limiting ring for supporting the rotation of the rotating shaft. The first limiting ring is located above the second limiting ring, or the second limiting ring is located above the first limiting ring. The first limiting ring is provided with a limiting member for restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft.
[0005] The limiting module includes a first limiting ring coaxially arranged and a second limiting ring for supporting the rotation of the shaft. The inner circumference of the second limiting ring is designed as a circular structure, allowing the shaft to rotate freely within the second limiting ring without restriction. The first limiting ring is provided with limiting elements to restrict the rotation of the shaft, namely, limiting teeth are provided on the inner wall of the first limiting ring, and positioning teeth that abut against the limiting teeth are provided on the shaft. Furthermore, this ensures that the knob abuts against the limiting teeth in all positions.
[0006] However, in actual operation, it can be twisted at any angle in the second limit ring without effective functional position limit, and its specific position cannot be known. Moreover, there is no path limit during rotation. In actual operation, when the operator rotates it, it is easy to cause the rotation direction to be wrong, which will lead to equipment damage. In addition, there is no light setting, which makes it easier to cause rotation errors in dim conditions. Summary of the Invention

Through the ratchet drive of the ratchet assembly 5, the groove of the contact seat engages with the cam. Step 3: The operator turns the closing switch to the pre-opening position and rotates the knob 1 counterclockwise. The stop block 1414 abuts against the sixth arc block 1313, the spring 16 rebounds, the rotating block 14 rises, and the stop block 1414 is located between the first arc block 1211 and the third arc block 1213.

The operator rotates the block 1414 counterclockwise by 90°, and the block 1414 abuts against the first arc-shaped block 1211, at which point it is in the pre-separation position; Step four: The operator rotates the pre-opening switch to the open position and presses down knob 1. At this time, the abutment block 1414 is located between the fifth arc block 1312 and the sixth arc block 1313, and the abutment block 1414 abuts against the sixth arc block 1313. At this time, the operator rotates counterclockwise by 30°, and the abutment block 1414 abuts against the fifth arc block 1312. At the same time, the spring 16 rebounds, and the top of the abutment block 1414 abuts against the top of the third arc block 1213.
