[0033] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the specific embodiments described are only part of the present invention, not all of it. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The following is a specific implementation of a DC load switch with a magnetic blow-out device.

[0035] See also Figure 1-8 A DC load switch with a magnetic blowout arc extinguishing device includes a cover 1, a molded frame 2, a contact system 3, an operating mechanism 4, a magnetic blowout system 5, an arc extinguishing cover 6, an auxiliary switch 7, a terminal block 8, and a fixing bracket 9. The contact system 3 is installed inside the molded frame 2, the operating mechanism 4 and the auxiliary switch 7 are installed at the internal front end of the molded frame 2, the arc extinguishing cover 6 is installed at the internal upper end of the molded frame 2, the cover 1 covers the operating mechanism 4 and the terminal block 8 and is fixed to the molded frame 2, and the upper end of the terminal block 8 is exposed from the cover 1.

[0036] Through the above technical solution, the load switch drives the contact system through the operating mechanism to open and close, and when the operating mechanism 4 completes the opening and closing action, the auxiliary switch 7 is switched.

[0037] The contact system 3 includes a moving contact device 10 and a stationary contact device 11. The moving contact device 10 includes a moving arcing contact 101 and a moving contact 102. The moving arcing contact 101 is designed to be widened. The stationary contact device 11 includes a stationary contact 111 and a stationary arcing contact 112. A connecting rod 103 is hinged between the moving contact device 10 and the operating mechanism 4.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, the moving contact device 10 consists of one moving arc contact 101 and ten moving contacts 102, and the moving arc contact 101 is widened to increase the current carrying capacity of the switch. The moving contact device 10 is hinged to the operating mechanism 4 through the connecting rod 103, and is swung back and forth through the operating mechanism 4 to perform opening and closing.

[0039] An excitation arc striking system is provided in the magnetic blowing system 5, including a front arc striking row 51, a rear arc striking row 52, an excitation core 53, an excitation block 54, an excitation coil 55, a protective cover 56, a return row 57 and a magnetic plate 58. The excitation block 54 is partially wrapped by the rear arc striking row 52, and the excitation coil 55 is wound on the excitation core 53. The excitation coil 55 is a symmetrical spiral coil. One end of the excitation coil 55 is fixedly connected to the front arc striking row 51, and the other end of the excitation coil 55 is fixedly connected to the return row 57. The protective cover 56 is sleeved on the outside of the excitation coil 55, the rear arc striking row 52 is connected to the static arc contact 112, the magnetic plate 58 is connected to the excitation core 53, and the upper part of the magnetic plate 58 is located inside the arc extinguishing cover 6.

[0040] Through the above technical solution, the excitation coil 55 is a symmetrical spiral coil, one end of which is fixed to the front arc-starting bar 51 and the other end is connected to the return bar 57, directing the current to the moving contact assembly 10, forming a complete return path. A protective cover 56 is placed over the excitation coil 55 to prevent arc damage. The rear arc-starting bar 52 is connected to the static arc contact 112 to start the arc, and the magnetic plate 58 is connected to the excitation core 53 to conduct magnetic flux.

[0041] Specifically, the operating mechanism 4 includes a main shaft 41 and a pressing block 42 , and the pressing block 42 presses the main shaft 41 of the operating mechanism 4 .

[0042] Specifically, there are two contact systems 3 , and the two contact systems 3 are provided with magnetic blowing systems 5 .

[0043] Specifically, two return rails 57 are provided, and the two return rails 57 are distributed on both sides of the excitation core 53 .

[0044] Specifically, two magnetic conductive plates 58 are provided, and the two magnetic conductive plates 58 are respectively fixed at both ends of the excitation core 53 .

[0045] Specifically, the number of moving arcing contacts 101 is one, and the number of moving contacts 102 is ten.

[0046] Specifically, the lower end of the connecting rod 103 is connected to a bracket, and the lower end of the bracket is connected to the dynamic main busbar 104.

[0047] Specifically, the right end of the static arcing contact 112 is connected to the static main busbar 113 , and the static main busbar 113 is located above the dynamic main busbar 104 .

[0048] Working principle: When the operating mechanism 4 executes the closing command, the crank arm on the operating mechanism pushes the moving contact device 10 to quickly approach the static contact device 11. The moving arcing contact 101 first contacts the static arcing contact 112, and then the moving contact 102 contacts the static contact 111, completing the closing action. When the operating mechanism 4 executes the opening command, the moving contact device 10 quickly moves away from the static contact device 11. The moving contact 102 first separates from the static contact 111, and then the moving arcing contact 101 separates from the static arcing contact 112, thus maximally protecting the main contacts from excessive burning, which would affect the life of the switch.

[0049] When the switch needs to be disconnected under load, in the early stage of disconnection, the current loop flows from the static main busbar 113 through the moving arc contact 101 and the moving contact 102, and then flows through the moving main busbar 104 to form a complete return channel. At this time, the arc burns between the moving arc contact 101 and the static arc contact 112. In the middle stage of disconnection, the current loop flows from the static main busbar 113 through the rear arcing bar 52, the front arcing bar 51, the excitation coil 55, the return bar 57, and then flows through the moving main busbar 104 to form a complete return flow. At this time, the arc jumps onto the rear arc-striking row 52 and the front arc-striking row 51 to avoid contact burning. At the same time, the breaking current generates a magnetic field when flowing through the excitation coil 55. After passing through the magnetic conductive plate 58, the magnetic field is distributed between the moving and static contacts, generating an upward electromotive force on the arc, promoting the rapid upward movement of the arc. In the later stage of breaking, the arc is blown into the arc-extinguishing grid in the arc-extinguishing cover 6 by the electromagnetic force and cut into multiple short arcs. The arc voltage rises. At the same time, the arc-extinguishing grid has a cooling effect on the arc, and the arc is extinguished quickly.
