Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical switches, and in particular relates to a switch. Background Art

[0002] The switch is an electrical protection component in the low-voltage power distribution network. It plays the role of preventing fault current from damaging the load and ensuring the safety of electrical facilities. Specifically, when a large fault current caused by overload, short circuit or the like occurs in the circuit, it can cut off the large fault current.

[0003] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a switch in the prior art, comprising a housing 1 made of an insulating material such as plastic molding; a stationary contact assembly 21 of a structural system of a contact system 2 arranged in the housing 1 and a movable contact assembly 22 that rotates relative to the stationary contact assembly 21 and contacts or separates from the stationary contact assembly 21; a movable contact assembly 22 that is rotatably arranged outside the housing 1 ( Figure 1 a main shaft 4 (on the left side of the position state shown); a first operating arm 5 fixedly arranged in the middle on the main shaft 4; a second operating arm 6, a moving iron core connecting rod 7 and an electromagnetic mechanism 3, one end of the second operating arm 6 is hinged to one end of the first operating arm 5, and the other end of the first operating arm 5 is hinged to one end of the moving iron core connecting rod 7, and the other end of the moving iron core connecting rod 7 is hinged to the moving contact assembly 22, the electromagnetic mechanism 3 includes a static iron core 31 arranged on the outside of the shell 1 and a moving iron core 32 pivotally arranged and in contact with or separated from the static iron core 31 (also called "attracting or repelling"), the other end of the second operating arm 6 is hinged to the moving iron core 32. The coil (not shown in the figure) of the static iron core 31 of the electromagnetic mechanism 3 is energized to attract the moving iron core 32 to the static iron core 31, and the moving iron core 32 causes the second operating arm 6 to drive the main shaft 4 to rotate through the first operating arm 5, and drives the moving iron core connecting rod 7 through the first operating arm 5, so that the moving iron core connecting rod 7 drives the moving contact assembly 22 to contact the static contact assembly 21 to close the circuit, otherwise it will open the circuit.

[0004] Since the static iron core 31 of the electromagnetic mechanism 3 of the above-mentioned structure is installed on the outside of the shell 1, there are the following shortcomings: first, the length space of the switch in the horizontal direction is increased (that is, the X-direction or axial space of the switch is increased), which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the switch volume; second, since the static iron core 31 is installed outside the shell in the form of a cantilever beam effect, it will produce deflection after being subjected to force, affecting the positioning accuracy of the electromagnetic operating unit, especially after the coil of the static iron core 31 is energized, the vertical upward electromagnetic suction force generated on the air gap surface of the static iron core 31 is very large, causing the moving iron core 32 to tend to deform upward, thereby hindering the moving iron core 32 from moving into place, causing the contact system 2 to fail to close in place.

[0007] In the present invention, the number of the first accommodating chambers is two, the number of the second accommodating chamber is one, and the two first accommodating chambers are respectively arranged on both sides of the second accommodating chamber.

[0008] In the utility model, the number of the first accommodating cavities is configured as three, and the number of the second accommodating cavities is configured as one, then one first accommodating cavity and two first accommodating cavities are respectively provided on both sides of the second accommodating cavity.

[0009] In the utility model, the second accommodating cavity is provided with an operating window which matches the shape and size of the static iron core on the side of the corresponding shell facing the dynamic iron core, and the dynamic iron core is attracted to the static iron core through the operating window.

[0010] In the utility model, the switch also includes a main shaft, a first operating arm and a second operating arm. Both ends of the main shaft are rotatably supported on the outside of the shell. One end of the first operating arm facing the main shaft is sleeved on the main shaft, and one end of the first operating arm away from the main shaft is hinged to the moving iron core. The second operating arm is located on one side of the first operating arm. One end of the second operating arm facing the main shaft is also sleeved on the main shaft, and one end away from the main shaft is hinged to the moving contact assembly through a moving iron core connecting rod.

[0011] In the present invention, one end of the first operating arm away from the main shaft is hinged to the moving iron core through an operating arm hinge pin arranged on the moving iron core.

[0013] In the utility model, the E-shaped magnetic iron plate has one more middle protrusion than the U-shaped magnetic iron plate, and the middle protrusion is located in the frame of the coil of the static iron core.

[0014] In the utility model, one end of the first operating arm facing the main shaft is sleeved on the main shaft, and one end of the first operating arm away from the main shaft is respectively hinged to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the moving contact assembly.

[0016] The technical effect of the technical solution provided by the utility model is that: since the static iron core of the electromagnetic mechanism is arranged in the second accommodating cavity of the shell which is just the idle redundant space for the static iron core to be arranged, the requirement of miniaturization of the switch volume can be met and the deformation of the moving iron core caused by the cantilever setting of the static iron core can be avoided, thereby ensuring that the moving iron core moves into place and reflecting the closing reliability of the moving and static contact assemblies.

Figure 3 As shown in the figure), the moving iron core 32 is attracted to the stationary iron core 31 through the operating window 121.

[0029] The aforementioned housing 1 is made of plastic and through a mold, and is composed of two corresponding shell petals spliced ​​together to form a closed space.

[0030] See you next time Figure 2 And combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4The aforementioned switch also includes a main shaft 4, a first operating arm 5 and a second operating arm 6. Both ends of the main shaft 4 are rotatably supported on the outer side of the aforementioned housing 1. The end of the first operating arm 5 facing the main shaft 4 is sleeved on the main shaft 4, and the end of the first operating arm 5 away from the main shaft 4 is hinged to the aforementioned moving iron core 32. The second operating arm 6 is located on one side of the first operating arm 5. The end of the second operating arm 6 facing the main shaft 4 is also sleeved on the main shaft 4, and the end away from the main shaft 4 is hinged to the aforementioned moving contact assembly 22 through the moving iron core connecting rod 7. In this embodiment, the first operating arm 5 and the second operating arm 6 are both a pair. The first operating arms 5 are arranged in parallel with each other. The second operating arm 6 is also arranged in parallel with each other and is located on both sides of the pair of first operating arms 5. The end of the moving iron core 32 facing the main shaft 4 is limited between the aforementioned pair of first operating arms 5 through the moving iron core limiting shaft pin 321.

[0031] One end of the pair of first operating arms 5 away from the main shaft 4 is hinged to both sides of the moving iron core 32 through an operating arm hinge pin 322 arranged on the moving iron core 32 .

[0033] Depend on Figure 5 As shown, the middle of the static iron core 31 is an E-shaped magnetic iron plate 312, and the two sides are U-shaped magnetic iron plates 311. The aforementioned E-shaped magnetic iron plate 312 has an additional middle protrusion 313 compared to the aforementioned U-shaped magnetic iron plate 311, and the middle protrusion 313 is located in the skeleton of the coil of the static iron core 31.

[0034] The switch is usually designed with 2 to 4 poles (i.e., "two poles to four poles"). In this embodiment, it is a two-pole switch with a two-pole contact system. The static iron core 31 is arranged between the two-pole contacts ( Figure 3 In this embodiment, there are two contact systems 2, which are respectively located on both sides of the static iron core 31.
