[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the circuit breaker mechanism also includes a circuit breaker closing button; the interlocking cam plate A13 is installed on the main shaft of the isolation mechanism; the interlocking cam plate A13 is transmission-connected to the interlocking reversing plate 15; the interlocking reversing plate 15 is transmission-connected to the interlocking plate B12; the interlocking plate B12 is linked to the circuit breaker closing button through the baffle E8.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a blocking piece F6 is installed on the interlocking plate B12; in the initial state, the circuit breaker closing button is blocked by the blocking piece F6.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the grounding mechanism 7 includes a door pin bracket shaft 71, a guide frame 72, a first return spring, a door pin shaft 73, a second return spring and a grounding linkage cam 74; the grounding linkage cam 74 is installed on the main shaft of the grounding mechanism 7; the door pin shaft 73 is connected to the grounding linkage cam 74 through the second return spring; the door pin bracket shaft 71 can be lifted and lowered on the guide frame 72 through the first return spring; the guide frame 72 is installed on the front plate of the mechanism; the baffle A2 is installed on the top of the door pin bracket shaft 71; the baffle A2 is connected to and separated from the grounding operating shaft through the lifting movement of the door pin bracket shaft 71; the grounding linkage cam 74 is transmission-connected to the interlocking cam plate B14; the door pin shaft 73 locks the lower door panel.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interlocking cam plate A13 is installed on the main shaft of the isolation mechanism; the interlocking cam plate A13 is transmission-connected to the interlocking reversing plate 15; and the interlocking reversing plate 15 is transmission-connected to the interlocking plate B12.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interlocking cam plate B14 is installed on the main shaft of the grounding mechanism 7; the interlocking cam plate B14 is transmission-connected to the interlocking plate B12.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the isolation mechanism includes a closing operation shaft; the interlocking plate A11 is linked to the closing operation shaft through the baffle C3.

When the circuit breaker is in the open state, neither is blocked. Baffles B, D, and F6 are local locations of interlock plate B12. Interlock plate B12 is driven by the isolation mechanism and grounding mechanism 7, respectively. Only when the isolation mechanism is in the closed state will baffle F6 release the circuit breaker mechanism's operating authority; operation of the circuit breaker mechanism is not allowed at any other time; interlock plate B12 also serves as the interlocking function between the isolation mechanism and grounding mechanism 7. Interlocking reversing plate 15, mounted below the isolation mechanism, converts the rotational motion of interlocking cam plate B14 into vertical motion of interlocking plate B12. Two interlocking limiting plates 16, mounted on the isolation structure and grounding mechanism 7, respectively, are responsible for limiting interlocking plate B12 to the neutral position.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model:

[0039] 1. Power supply operation interlock

[0040] 1. Define the initial state: the circuit breaker mechanism, the isolation mechanism, and the grounding mechanism 7 are all in the open state; the lower door panel is in the closed state.

[0041] 2. Interlocking position: The interlocking plate A11 is driven by the circuit breaker opening and closing indicator. When the circuit breaker is in the opening state, the interlocking plate A11 is located at the bottom, the baffle A2 does not block the grounding operating shaft, and the baffle C does not block the closing operating shaft; the interlocking plate B12 is driven by the isolation mechanism and the grounding mechanism 7 respectively. When the isolation mechanism and the grounding mechanism 7 are both in the opening state, the interlocking plate B12 is located in the middle, the baffle B does not block the grounding operating shaft, and the baffle D does not block the closing operating shaft; after the lower door panel is installed, the door pin bracket shaft 71 will be pulled down, and the baffle E8 does not block the grounding operating shaft.

[0042] 3. In the initial state, all the opening and closing buttons of the circuit breaker are blocked by the blocking piece F6 on the interlocking plate B12, ensuring that the circuit breaker mechanism cannot perform opening and closing operations; after the operating handle is inserted into the operating shaft of the isolation mechanism and operated clockwise to close the isolation mechanism, the interlocking cam plate A13 fixed on the main shaft of the isolation mechanism rotates counterclockwise, pushing the interlocking reversing plate 15 to rotate clockwise. The interlocking reversing plate 15 pushes the roller on the interlocking plate B12, causing the interlocking plate B12 to move downward, releasing the blocking piece E8 under the opening and closing buttons of the circuit breaker, so that the circuit breaker can perform opening and closing operations. At the same time, the blocking piece B blocks the operating shaft of the grounding mechanism 7 downward, making the grounding mechanism 7 unable to operate.

[0043] 4. Insert the operating handle into the energy storage operating shaft of the circuit breaker and turn it clockwise until the energy storage indicator is in place. Press the circuit breaker closing button. After the circuit breaker is closed, the opening and closing indicator of the circuit breaker mechanism drives the interlocking plate A11 to move upward, the blocking piece A2 blocks the grounding operating shaft, and the blocking piece C blocks the closing operating shaft. The isolation mechanism and the grounding mechanism 7 cannot be operated, and the closing and power supply operation is completed.

[0044] 2. Power failure operation interlock

[0045] 1. Press the opening button to open the circuit breaker. At the same time, the opening and closing indicator of the circuit breaker mechanism drives the interlock plate A11 to move downward, the baffle A2 releases the grounding operating shaft, and the baffle C releases the closing operating shaft, and the isolation mechanism can open normally.

[0046] 2. After inserting the operating handle into the isolation closing shaft, rotate it counterclockwise to open the disconnector. After the isolation mechanism is closed or opened, the interlock cam plate A13 fixed on the isolation mechanism main shaft rotates clockwise back to its original position. Interlock plate B12 moves upward under the spring force of the lower interlock limit plate 16. The roller on interlock plate B12 pushes the interlock reversing plate 15 to rotate counterclockwise, causing it to return to its original position. Interlock plate B12 moves upward, and the baffle E8 below the closing button locks the circuit breaker open and close, making the circuit breaker inoperable. Baffle A2 releases the operating shaft of the grounding mechanism 7.

[0047] 3. After inserting the operating handle into the isolation grounding shaft, rotate the handle clockwise to close the grounding switch. Interlock cam plate B14, fixed on the main shaft of grounding mechanism 7, rotates counterclockwise, pushing the roller below interlock plate B12, causing interlock plate B12 to move upward. Blocking plate D blocks the isolation mechanism operating shaft upward, rendering the isolation mechanism inoperable. The grounding interlock cam, fixed on the main shaft of grounding mechanism 7, rotates counterclockwise, causing door pin shaft 73 to move upward under the force of the spring, releasing the lock on the lower door panel.

[0048] 4. Lift the lower door panel upward and pull it outward at the same time to open the lower door panel. The door pin bracket shaft 71 moves upward under the action of the spring force, so that the blocking piece E8 blocks the operating shaft of the grounding mechanism 7, making the grounding mechanism 7 unable to operate. The power outage operation is completed, and subsequent operations of the power outage maintenance can be carried out.

[0049] The utility model realizes the linkage between the circuit breaker mechanism, the isolation mechanism, the grounding mechanism 7 and the lower door panel by providing an interlocking mechanism 1, thereby realizing the linkage operation of power supply, power outage and grounding, reducing the overall safety risks and ensuring the personal safety of the staff. The utility model has a reliable structure, durability, flexible and accurate operation, and can be processed and manufactured in a standardized manner.

[0050] The above is a detailed introduction to the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only applicable to help understand the principles of the embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the embodiments of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
