[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that all expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are for distinguishing two non-identical entities with the same name or non-identical parameters. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention. The subsequent embodiments will not explain this one by one.

Therefore, the directions and positions used are used to explain and understand the present invention, but not to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] A disconnect switch, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a housing 100, a breaking chamber is formed in the housing 100, and a moving contact assembly 200, a stationary contact assembly 300, and an arc extinguishing chamber 400 are arranged in the breaking chamber.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the moving contact assembly 200 includes a moving contact rotating frame 210 and a moving contact piece 220 fixed on the moving contact rotating frame 210, and two ends of the moving contact piece 220 protrude relative to the outer periphery of the moving contact rotating frame 210 to form a moving contact portion 221;

[0037] The static contact assembly 300 includes two groups. The two groups of static contact assemblies 300 are fixed relative to the housing 100 and are respectively located on both sides of the moving contact rotating frame 210. Each group of static contact assemblies 300 includes at least one group of static contact components 310 and elastic components 320. One group of static contact components 310 includes two static contact plates 311. The two static contact plates 311 of one group of static contact components 310 are arranged at a certain interval to form a clamping cavity 312 with an opening 314. The elastic component 320 is connected to the two static contact plates 311. The elastic component 320 is used to form opposite elastic forces on the two static contact plates 311 when the two static contact plates 311 are stretched apart, so that the two static contact plates 311 have a tendency to approach each other.

[0038] The arc extinguishing chamber 400 includes two groups, and the two groups of arc extinguishing chambers 400 are fixed relative to the housing 100 and are respectively located on both sides of the moving contact rotating frame 210;

[0039] The moving contact carrier 210 is rotatable relative to the housing 100 and has an opening position and a closing position. When the moving contact carrier 210 is in the closing position, the moving contact portion 221 is located in the clamping cavity 312. When the moving contact carrier 210 leaves the closing position, the moving contact portion 221 is located in the arc extinguishing chamber in at least part of the path when it turns to the opening position.

[0040] The static contact is set as a contact structure including one or more static contact parts 310 with bidirectional elastic clamping force. The thickness of the moving contact can be greatly reduced, and the longitudinal space thickness of the arc extinguishing chamber does not need to be increased, so that the moving contact part of the moving contact can be extended into the arc extinguishing chamber. When the switch is opened, the moving contact part 221 moves in the arc extinguishing chamber, which can achieve the effect of reliable and rapid disconnection of high-voltage arcs, improve the breaking capacity, and achieve the purpose of high-voltage disconnection.

[0041] Further, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, each set of static contact components 300 of this embodiment includes at least two sets of static contact parts 310, and at least two sets of static contact parts 310 are arranged side by side to form a clamping cavity for the moving contact to be inserted, and each set of static contact parts 310 is respectively matched with at least one set of elastic parts 320 so that the abutting elastic force of the two static contact parts 310 of each set of static contact components 300 is provided separately. The attached figure presents a contact structure with two sets of static contact components 300, and each set of static contact components 300 is matched with one elastic part 320.

[0042] The static contact parts 310 are arranged in at least two groups, so that the static contact parts 310 of the at least two groups of the split body will not interfere with each other. When the abutting elastic force provided by the elastic part 320 of one group is insufficient, the corresponding static contact part 310 may not form a good conductive contact with the moving contact, and the other static contact parts 310 can still maintain good contact, the overall life can be increased, and the requirements for processing accuracy are also reduced. In addition, the static contact parts 310 of the at least two groups of the split body are arranged side by side, which can reduce the temperature rise of the switch.

[0043] Furthermore, the movable contact piece 220 of the present embodiment is a single piece with a simple structure and a small thickness.

[0044] Furthermore, each group of static contact assemblies 300 includes a terminal block 330, which is provided with a terminal block 331 and a first connecting plate 332. The terminal block 330 passes through the housing 100 so that the terminal block 331 is located outside the housing 100 for wiring and the first connecting plate 332 is located inside the housing 100 and fixedly connected to the static contact component 310.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, a set of static contact components 310 is a separate part, and the two static contact plates 311 are connected to form a U-shaped integrated structure through a second connecting plate 313. The second connecting plate 313 is connected to the first connecting plate 332 to form a conductive connection between the static contact component 310 and the terminal board 330.

[0046] An opening 314 is formed at one end of the two static contact plates 311 away from the second connecting plate 313, and the opening 314 faces the rotation path of the movable contact piece 220, and the movable contact piece 220 is screwed into the clamping cavity 312 through the opening 314. Further, an inclined surface is formed at one end of the static contact plate 311 away from the second connecting plate 313, so that the opening 314 formed between the two static contact plates 311 for the movable contact piece 220 to be screwed in is horn-shaped, and the thickness of the movable contact piece 220 is less than the maximum width of the opening 314 and greater than the distance between the two static contact plates 311 in the natural state. During the screwing process of the movable contact piece 220, the movable contact piece 220 interacts with the inclined surface on the static contact plate 311.

[0047] The elastic component 320 is an elastic metal strip, and a group of static contact components 310 is equipped with at least one elastic metal strip. The elastic component 320 as a whole is a C-shaped structure, including two abutting ends separated by a certain distance. The elastic component 320 bypasses the connection structure formed by the first connecting plate 332 and the second connecting plate 313 so that the two abutting ends respectively abut against the outer walls of the two static contact plates 311, thereby forming an elastic force on the static contact plate 311 in the direction of the other static contact plate 311.

[0048] Furthermore, the spacing between the two abutting ends is smaller than the width of the connection structure formed by the first connecting plate 332 and the second connecting plate 313. The width of the first connecting plate 332 is larger than that of the second connecting plate 313. The two side edges of the first connecting plate 332 form a limiting notch 333, and the elastic component 320 is clamped in the limiting notch 333. Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the elastic component 320, the wiring board 330, and the static contact component 310 can be assembled into a component that is not easy to separate, which is conducive to subsequent assembly. The elastic component 320 can also adopt other common elastic parts, such as springs, metal springs, etc., and is set between the two static contact plates 311 and the upper and lower inner walls of the housing 100.

[0049] The stationary contact assembly 300 further includes a positioning component 340, which is used to limit the minimum spacing between the two stationary contact plates 311. The positioning component 340 can ensure the minimum spacing between the two stationary contact plates 311, that is, ensure that the moving contact piece 220 can smoothly rotate between the two stationary contact plates 311.

[0050] The positioning component 340 of this embodiment is a separate part, including a third connecting plate 341 and at least one limit block 342 connected to the third connecting plate 341. The third connecting plate 341 is connected to the second connecting plate 313. The limit block 342 is vertically connected to the third connecting plate 341 and is arranged between the two static contact plates 311. The minimum spacing between the two static contact plates 311 is the width of the limit block 342.

[0051] The number of limit blocks 342 that cooperate with a group of contact parts is at least one, and can be configured according to the width of the static contact plate 311. When the width of the static contact plate 311 is small, one limit block 342 can be set. When the width of the static contact plate 311 is large, at least two limit blocks 342 can be set to ensure that the two static contact plates 311 are subjected to balanced force.

[0052] Specifically, the first connecting plate 332, the second connecting plate 313 and the third connecting plate 341 of this embodiment are connected by fasteners. Specifically, fasteners such as rivets and screws can be used to pass through the first connecting plate 332, the second connecting plate 313 and the third connecting plate 341 in sequence to fix the three.

[0053] The positioning component 340 may also be arranged as a portion of the static contact component 310 , that is, connected to the static contact plate 311 and the second connecting plate 313 as a whole.

[0054] The arc extinguishing chamber 400 includes a plurality of arc extinguishing grids 410, which are spaced apart along the moving path of the moving contact portion 221 to achieve a better arc extinguishing effect. The plurality of arc extinguishing grids 410 can be fixed by setting an insulating partition 420 as shown in the figure, or the insulating partition 420 can be eliminated and replaced by the insulating inner wall of the housing 100 to directly fix the insulating partition 420.

[0055] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
