Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies existing in the prior art, and provide a driving mechanism of a dual - power change - over switch. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A driving mechanism of a dual - power change - over switch includes a handle and a moving contact assembly. The moving contact assembly includes a moving contact runner and a moving contact arranged on the moving contact runner. The handle is in linkage cooperation with the moving contact runner; the handle has a positioning rotating shaft, and an energy - storage assembly is arranged in cooperation with the handle. The energy - storage assembly includes an elastic member and a positioning post. One end of the elastic member is connected to a limit post on the handle, and the other end is connected to the positioning post; the handle can rotate around the positioning rotating shaft, and its rotation range is limited by the limit post in a travel groove. The travel groove is V - shaped or U - shaped. The distance from the middle section of the travel groove to the positioning post is a, and the distance from both ends of the travel groove to the positioning post is b, and a≠b. When the handle rotates to the middle section of the travel groove, the elastic member is driven by the limit post to be compressed or stretched, so as to have the potential energy to drive the handle to displace towards both ends of the travel groove.

[0006] For example, an inverted V - shaped travel groove can be set, so that the elastic member is stretched when the handle rotates to the middle section of the travel groove, thereby driving the handle to displace towards both ends of the travel groove, which is convenient for the user to quickly rotate the handle in place.

[0007] Or, the travel groove is in a positive V - shape, so that the elastic member is compressed when it displaces to the middle section of the travel groove, thereby having the potential energy to drive the handle to displace towards both ends of the travel groove.

[0008] Preferably, a>b, and a is greater than the natural length of the elastic member (that is, the length of the elastic member in the non - stretched or non - compressed state).

[0009] Preferably, the handle is linked to a first gear, the handle drives the moving contact runner through the first gear, and the positioning rotating shaft of the handle is simultaneously the rotating shaft of the first gear.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting hole is formed in the base of the handle, one end of the elastic member away from the positioning post is connected to a limiting post, and the limiting post simultaneously passes through the limiting hole and the stroke groove; when the handle rotates around the positioning rotating shaft and drives the limiting post to displace to the middle section of the stroke groove, the limiting post displaces relative to the limiting hole and stretches or compresses the elastic member, so that the elastic member has the potential energy to drive the limiting post and the handle to rotate to both ends of the stroke groove.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the limiting hole is not less than the difference between a and b, so as to ensure that the limiting post displaces in the limiting hole while displacing along the stroke groove to stretch or compress the spring.

[0012] Preferably, the moving contact runner is drivingly connected to a second gear, and the first gear and the second gear are coaxially drivingly matched to drive the moving contact runner to drive the moving contact to contact or separate from the static contact.

[0013] Preferably, the moving contact runner and the second gear are respectively located inside the first and second chambers of the housing, and the first and second chambers are separated by a partition, the first gear and the second gear are located in the first chamber, and the moving contact runner, the moving contact, and the static contact are located in the second chamber.

[0014] Preferably, two moving contacts are symmetrically arranged on the moving contact runner, and the two moving contacts rotate synchronously with the moving contact runner to realize contact or separation from the static contact.

[0015] This dual-power transfer switch further includes an electric drive assembly, the electric drive assembly includes a rack and armatures connected to both ends of the rack, and coils respectively cooperating with the armatures at both ends of the rack, and the moving contact runner is linked with the rack.

[0016] Preferably, the moving contact runner is coaxially drivingly connected to a second gear, the second gear meshes with the rack, and the armature cooperates with the coil to energize the coil to drive the rack to displace laterally and drive the second gear and the moving contact runner to rotate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By providing a V-shaped or U-shaped stroke groove for limiting the stroke of the handle, and making the distance from the middle section of the stroke groove to the positioning post be a, and the distance from both ends of the stroke groove to the positioning post be b, and a≠b, when the handle rotates to the middle section of the stroke groove, the elastic member is compressed or stretched, so as to have the potential energy to drive the handle to displace to both ends of the stroke groove, which is convenient for borrowing force to rotate the handle during manual operation to realize quick switching and ensure accurate rotation to the end.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] As Figures 1-3 shown, the driving mechanism of the dual-power conversion switch includes a handle 1 and a moving contact assembly. The moving contact assembly includes a moving contact runner 21 and a moving contact 211 arranged on the moving contact runner 21. The handle 1 is in linkage cooperation with the moving contact runner 21. The handle 1 has a positioning rotating shaft, and the handle 1 is provided with an energy storage assembly in cooperation. The energy storage assembly includes an elastic member 31 and a positioning post 32 in the housing. One end of the elastic member 31 is connected to the handle 1, and the other end is connected to the positioning post 32.

[0032] The handle 1 is rotatable around the positioning rotating shaft, and the rotation range is limited to the travel groove 12. The travel groove 12 is in a V shape or a U shape. The distance from the middle section of the travel groove 12 to the positioning post 32 is a, and the distances from both ends of the travel groove 12 to the positioning post 32 are b, and a ≠ b. A limiting hole 131 is opened at the base of the handle 1. One end of the elastic member 31 away from the positioning post 32 is connected to a limiting post 132. The limiting post 132 passes through the limiting hole 131 and the travel groove 12 at the same time. When the handle 1 rotates around the positioning rotating shaft and drives the limiting post 132 to displace to the middle section of the travel groove 12, the limiting post 132 displaces relative to the limiting hole 131 and stretches the elastic member 31, so that the elastic member 31 has the potential energy to drive the limiting post 132 and the handle 1 to rotate to both ends of the travel groove 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic member is a spring (tension spring), and the length of the limiting hole 131 is not less than the difference between a and b to ensure that the limiting post 132 displaces in the limiting hole 131 while displacing along the travel groove 12 to stretch the spring.

[0034] Referring to the attached Figure 2 shown, the travel groove is an inverted V shape. During the process of the handle 1 rotating from right to left to the middle section of the travel groove 12, the limiting post 132 displaces in the limiting hole 131 while displacing along the travel groove, and the spring is stretched and stores energy by the limiting post 132. When the handle 1 rotates beyond the vertex of the V-shaped travel groove, the elastic member retracts and releases energy, pulls the limiting post 132, and drives the handle 1 to displace to the left side of the travel groove 12 to Figure 3 the position shown, which is convenient for the user to borrow force to rotate the handle and ensure that the handle rotates in place.

[0035] The above a > b, and a is greater than the natural length of the elastic member 31 to ensure that the spring is stretched.

[0036] Further, the handle 1 is linked to the first gear 11. The handle 1 drives the moving contact runner 21 through the first gear 11, and the positioning rotating shaft of the handle 1 is simultaneously the rotating shaft of the first gear 11. The moving contact runner 21 is drivingly connected to the second gear 22, and the first gear 11 and the second gear 22 are coaxially drivingly connected to drive the moving contact runner 21 to drive the moving contact 211 to contact or separate from the static contact 4.

[0037] Refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, the device further includes an electric drive assembly to achieve the conversion of electric drive. The electric drive assembly includes a rack 51 and armatures 52 connected to both ends of the rack 51, and coils respectively cooperating with the armatures 52 at both ends of the rack 51. The moving contact runner 21 is coaxially drivingly connected to the second gear 22, the second gear 22 meshes with the rack 51, and the armature 52 cooperates with the coil to energize the coil to drive the rack 51 to displace laterally and drive the second gear 22 and the moving contact runner 21 to rotate.

[0038] As Figures 5-7 As shown, the moving contact runner 21 and the second gear 22 are respectively located inside the first and second chambers of the housing, and the first and second chambers are separated by a partition 101. The first gear 11 and the second gear 22, the rack 51, the armatures 52, and the coils of the electric drive assembly are located in the first chamber, and the moving contact runner 21, the moving contact 211, and the static contact 4 are located in the second chamber. Energy storage components are provided on both sides of the partition 101 (in both chambers) to ensure the stable rotation of the driving handle.

[0039] Two moving contacts 211 are symmetrically arranged on the moving contact runner 21. The two moving contacts 211 are actually connected to the same set of conductive sheets. The conductive sheets are installed inside the moving contact runner 21 and both ends thereof extend outside the moving contact runner 21 to form two moving contacts 211. The two moving contacts 211 rotate synchronously with the moving contact runner 21 to achieve contact or separation from the static contact 4.

[0040] The above-disclosed are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, the scope of the rights of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
