Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switches, in particular to a contact structure of an isolating switch. Background Art

[0002] Three-position disconnectors are often used in fully enclosed combination electrical appliances or ring network cabinets. The so-called three positions refer to three working positions: the closing position where the main break of the disconnector is connected, the isolating position where the main break is separated, and the grounding position on the grounding side.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN108511212A discloses a high voltage switch contact blade assembly and a high voltage switch, such as Figure 4 As shown, it comprises a stationary contact 01 and a blade contact assembly. The blade contact assembly comprises two opposing blades 02, with a space formed between the blades 02 for insertion of the stationary contact 01. A support rod 03 extends through the blades 02. Springs 04 are mounted on either end of the support rod 03, providing a force to pull the blades 02 closer together. As the current increases, the springs 04 must provide a greater contact pressure, requiring them to be longer. Furthermore, the three-phase contacts A, B, and C must maintain a suitable interphase distance to ensure electrical insulation. This results in a larger switch overall and increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To this end, the present invention provides a contact structure of an isolating switch, comprising a contact blade and a static contact, wherein the contact blade is mounted on a switch body so as to be movable linearly up and down; the static contact has a U-shaped slot for inserting the contact blade, and a straight conductive spring is mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped slot, wherein the length extension direction of the straight conductive spring is arranged parallel to the contact blade surface on the side surface of the contact blade, wherein when the contact blade is inserted into the slot, the side surface of the straight conductive spring is squeezed by the contact blade surface and in close contact with it.

[0005] The cross-section of the straight conductive spring is elliptical, and an installation groove for installing the straight conductive spring is provided on the inner wall of the slot. The installation groove has a first contact surface arranged parallel to the moving direction of the stylus, and a second contact surface and a third contact surface arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first contact surface and inclined to the first contact surface. When one side surface of the elliptical straight conductive spring is squeezed by the stylus, the other side surface thereof is in contact with the first contact surface, the second contact surface and the third contact surface respectively.

[0006] The static contact has the straight conductive springs located on both sides of the slot, and each group includes a plurality of the straight conductive springs spaced apart and distributed along the moving direction of the contact blade.

[0007] The static contact includes a first contact plate and two second contact plates respectively arranged on both sides of the first contact plate. The two second contact plates and the first contact plate are combined to form the U-shaped slot.

[0008] The mounting groove is provided on the inner wall of the second contact plate, and the mounting groove extends along the length direction of the second contact plate.

[0009] The second contact plate is fixed to the first contact plate by bolts.

[0010] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. The contact structure of the disconnector provided by the present invention comprises a stationary contact having a slot for inserting a contact blade. At least one straight conductive spring is mounted on the inner wall of the slot. The straight conductive spring extends parallel to the contact surface on the side of the contact blade. When the contact blade is inserted into the slot, the side surface of the straight conductive spring is pressed against and in contact with the contact surface. In addition to providing contact pressure, the straight conductive spring is also used for conductive connection between the static contact and the moving contact. When the current increases, the contact area between the static contact and the contact blade can be increased by only increasing the length of the straight conductive spring a little, and the increased contact pressure is small, making the opening and closing contact process more labor-saving. The use of the straight conductive spring can ensure that the contact pressure of each phase is balanced and stable, and no external force is required for adjustment. In addition, compared with the prior art method in which the spring and the contact blade are arranged vertically, the straight conductive spring in this application is arranged in parallel with the contact blade surface on the side of the contact blade. Therefore, the increase in the length of the straight conductive spring does not increase the width of each phase static contact. While ensuring the electrical gap between the two adjacent phase static contacts, the switch body is smaller in size than the prior art, which reduces the cost.

[0012] 2. The contact structure of the isolating switch provided by the present invention has an elliptical cross-section of the straight conductive spring, and an installation groove for installing the straight conductive spring is provided on the inner wall of the slot, the installation groove having a first contact surface arranged parallel to the moving direction of the contact blade, and a second contact surface and a third contact surface arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first contact surface and inclined to the first contact surface. When one side surface of the elliptical straight conductive spring is squeezed by the contact blade, the other side surface thereof is in contact with the first contact surface, the second contact surface, and the third contact surface, respectively. In this way, the number of contact points between the straight conductive spring and the contact blade is increased by at least twice, thereby reducing contact resistance, increasing conductivity, and reducing temperature rise. The three-point contact makes the positioning of the straight conductive spring more accurate, thereby ensuring connection reliability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Static contact 30, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it has a U-shaped slot 8 for inserting the stylus 1. A straight conductive spring 9 is mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped slot 8. The length of the straight conductive spring 9 is parallel to the stylus surface 110 on the side of the stylus 1.

In this embodiment, the static contact 30 includes a first contact plate 31 and two second contact plates 32 disposed on either side of the first contact plate 31.
