Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The subject matter disclosed in this invention relates to devices belonging to electrical systems, and more specifically to three-power transfer switching devices. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic transfer switches for multiple power sources need to selectively connect the load to the first, second, or third power source based on the power quality status of the first, second, and third power sources. In automatic mode, when the first power source fails, the automatic transfer switch can automatically switch from the first power source to the second or third power source, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the power supply. In case of line maintenance or failure of multiple power sources, there should also be a position where the first, second, and third power sources are simultaneously disconnected, i.e., a fully open position.
[0003] Existing transmission devices have complex structures and many parts, resulting in an overall non-compact structure for the power transfer switch. In addition, their stability is poor and they are not suitable for mechanisms that require multiple power transfers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an example of a three-power automatic transfer switch that solves the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a three-power transfer switch conversion drive mechanism, a three-power transfer switch contact assembly, a three-power automatic transfer controller, and a status indicator assembly constitute a three-power automatic transfer switch.
[0006] The three-power transfer switch contact assembly includes two moving contacts per pole with an insert structure, a load stationary contact connected to a first power stationary contact, a second power stationary contact, and a third power stationary contact respectively through the moving contacts, and also includes a moving contact housing, a rotating shaft, a base, and a cover.
[0007] The rotating shaft is used for torque transmission between the contact assemblies of each pole three-power transfer switch.
[0008] The switching drive mechanism of the three power transfer switch includes an electromagnetic drive assembly, a manual operation assembly, an energy storage limit assembly, a left mechanism housing, a right mechanism housing, a mechanism base, and a switching drive shaft.
[0009] The top of the conversion drive shaft has a concave cross groove, and the rotating shaft in the three power conversion switch contact assembly has a raised cross step. The cross step is inserted into the cross groove to achieve synchronous rotation and torque transmission.
[0010] The switching drive mechanism of the three power transfer switch includes a manual operation component, as well as an operating gear and a driven gear. The operating gear has an indicator plate on its upper end, with "I" as the identifier. The square hole in the middle of the operating gear is used to insert an external handle for operation.
[0011] The changeover switch status indicator assembly includes a top cover, a top cover slider, and six holes on the top cover for mechanical indication and light holes for power status indicator lights; the top cover slider is used for manual / automatic operation switching of the three-power automatic changeover controller.
[0012] The six holes on the top cover, together with the indicator labels of the manual operation components, indicate the positions of the moving contact and the first, second, and third power stationary contacts. When the "I" on the label appears in positions I, II, or III, the circuit is closed; when the "I" on the label appears in positions O, O, or O, the circuit is open.
[0013] The base and cover recesses and mounting parts in the dual power transfer switch contact assembly are for DIN rail mounting or fixation to a mounting plate; The base recess and mounting parts of the three-power transfer switch's switching drive mechanism are for DIN rail mounting or fixation to a mounting plate. The two parts mentioned above, used for DIN rail mounting or fixing, are on the same line.
[0014] The three-power automatic transfer switch controller is installed inside the transfer drive mechanism of the three-power transfer switch.
[0015] This invention discloses a three-power automatic transfer switch, which is small in size, widely applicable, simple and convenient to operate, and safe and reliable in performance. Attached Figure Description
