[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, in particular to an operating mechanism and a switch. BACKGROUND

[0002] The switch is a common electrical equipment in the power distribution system. The operating mechanism as an important component of the switch can be driven by the operator manually or electrically to actuate the operating mechanism, so that the operating mechanism can control the switch to be closed or opened.

[0003] However, the operating mechanism in the related art has a complex structure design and many parts, resulting in high cost of the operating mechanism and difficulty in assembly. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present application provides an operating mechanism and a switch, which can make the operating mechanism simple, reduce the use of parts of the operating mechanism, facilitate the assembly of the operating mechanism, and reduce the cost.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides an operating mechanism, which comprises a housing, a support and an energy storage assembly. The housing has an accommodating cavity inside. The support is an integral structure, and the support is arranged in the accommodating cavity and can rotate in the accommodating cavity to switch between a first state and a second state. The energy storage assembly is located in the accommodating cavity, and two ends of the energy storage assembly are rotationally connected with the housing and the support, respectively.

[0006] During the switching of the support between the first state and the second state, the energy storage assembly stores energy, and releases the energy to drive the support to rotate to complete the switching when the support and the energy storage assembly are at a dead point position.

[0007] Since the support is an integral structure, the support can be manufactured in one process when the support is manufactured. Compared with the traditional distributed manufacturing or the separate arrangement of multiple parts and the formation by the parts, the present application simplifies the manufacturing process of the support and can reduce the processing cost of the support.

[0008] In the operating mechanism provided with the above support, since the support is an integral structure, the installation of the support can be simplified. When the support and the energy storage assembly are arranged in the accommodating cavity, the installation process can also be reduced, the assembly is facilitated, the structure of the operating mechanism is relatively simple, and the cost of the operating mechanism is reduced.

[0009] Optionally, the support has opposite first and second mounting portions, and the first and / or second mounting portions are matched with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity, so that the first and second mounting portions can rotate in the accommodating cavity.

[0010] The support member is connected with a supporting shaft, the supporting shaft extends along the direction of the first mounting part and the second mounting part, the energy storage assembly is provided with a clamping groove at one end thereof facing the support member, the supporting shaft is embedded in the clamping groove, and the supporting shaft can rotate in the clamping groove.

[0011] The support member can be matched with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity through the first mounting part and / or the second mounting part, so as to realize the rotary connection between the support member and the shell.

[0012] In addition, the energy storage assembly can be mounted through the supporting shaft on the support member.

[0013] Optionally, the support member and the supporting shaft are integrally formed.

[0014] In this way, the supporting shaft can be manufactured synchronously during the manufacturing process of the support member, so as to further simplify the manufacturing process of the support member and reduce the processing cost of the support member. In addition, the number of parts of the operating mechanism can be reduced, and the assembly of the operating mechanism is facilitated.

[0015] Optionally, the shell comprises a first sub-shell and a second sub-shell arranged oppositely, and the first sub-shell and the second sub-shell are buckled to form the accommodating cavity.

[0016] The first sub-shell is provided with a first rotary hole, and the part of the support member facing the first sub-shell is embedded in the first rotary hole. Alternatively, the second sub-shell is provided with a second rotary hole, and the part of the support member facing the second sub-shell is embedded in the second rotary hole.

[0017] In this way, the support member can be matched with the first sub-shell and / or the second sub-shell, so that the support member can rotate relative to the first sub-shell and / or the second sub-shell.

[0018] Optionally, in the case where the first sub-shell is provided with the first rotary hole, the first rotary hole penetrates the first sub-shell, and the part of the support member is opposite to the first rotary hole. The operating mechanism further comprises a driving member, the part of the support member opposite to the first rotary hole is matched with the driving member, and the driving member is used to drive the support member to rotate.

[0019] In this way, when it is necessary to control the switching of the support member between the first state and the second state, the driving member can apply force to the support member to drive the support member to rotate.

[0020] Optionally, the first sub-shell and / or the second sub-shell are provided with a first micro switch and a second micro switch at intervals, and the support member is provided with a first indicating member and a second indicating member.

[0021] When the support member is in the first state, the first indicating member abuts against the first micro switch, and the second indicating member is separated from the second micro switch. When the support member is in the second state, the second indicating member abuts against the second micro switch, and the first indicating member is separated from the first micro switch.

[0022] In this way, when the supporting member is in different states, it can abut against different micro switches, so that the micro switches can indicate the states of the supporting member.

[0023] Optionally, the energy storage assembly includes an elastic member and a connecting rod. A coupling shaft is connected to the wall of the accommodating chamber. A stopper is provided at one end of the connecting rod, the stopper being rotatably connected to the support member. A slide groove is provided on the side of the connecting rod facing away from the stopper, and the coupling shaft is embedded in the slide groove. The elastic member is sleeved on the connecting rod, and both ends of the elastic member respectively abut the coupling shaft and the stopper.

[0024] During the switching process between the first and second states, the supporting member pushes the connecting rod to slide toward the side closer to the coupling shaft. The groove wall slides relative to the coupling shaft, and the coupling shaft pushes against the elastic member, causing it to store energy. When the supporting member and the energy storage assembly are at a dead center, the elastic member releases energy, driving the supporting member to rotate and complete the switching process.

[0025] In this way, the energy storage component can release or store energy through the elastic member, so that the energy storage component can drive the supporting member to rotate to achieve state switching.

[0026] In a second aspect, the present application provides a switch comprising a body and any one of the operating mechanisms of the first aspect, wherein a support cooperates with the body, and the support is used to control the body to close or open when the support rotates.

[0027] Optionally, an operating structure is fixed to the support member, and a clearance notch is provided on the portion of the cavity wall opposite the operating structure. When the support member rotates, the operating structure can move with the support member in the clearance notch.

[0045] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order, and may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features.

[0046] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means more than two (including two), and similarly, "multiple groups" means more than two (including two).

[0047] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless specifically stated and limited otherwise, the terms "mounting", "connected", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, the "connection" of mechanical structure can mean physical connection, for example, the physical connection can be fixed connection, for example, fixed connection by spacer, for example, fixed connection by screw, bolt or other spacer; the physical connection can also be detachable connection, for example, mutual clamping or clamping connection; the physical connection can also be integrally connected, for example, welding, bonding or integrally formed connection.

[0048] It should be understood that the "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mentioned throughout the specification means that the specific features, structures or characteristics related to the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner.

[0049] For example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a switch 200, which comprises a body 201 and an operating mechanism 100, a support 20 cooperates with the body 201, and the operating mechanism 100 is used to control the body 201 to close or open under the condition that the support 20 rotates.

[0050] In the switch 200 provided with the operating mechanism 100, the body 201 can be controlled to close or open by the operating mechanism 100, so that the switch 200 can be closed or opened.

[0051] Therefore, in the power system provided with the switch 200, the operating mechanism 100 can control the on-off of the circuit through the body 201.

[0052] Specifically, the operating mechanism 100 is provided with a rotatable support 20. In the process of rotating the support 20, the support 20 can drive the components in the body 201 to rotate, so as to control the body 201 to close or open.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support 20 can be fixed with an operation structure 27, and a part of the cavity wall opposite to the operation structure 27 is provided with an avoiding gap. When the support 20 rotates, the operation structure 27 can move in the avoiding gap with the support 20. The body 201 is provided with a movable function piece on the side facing the operation structure 27. The function piece is provided with a matching structure, and the operation structure 27 matches with the matching structure. The operation structure 27 is used to drive the function piece to rotate through the matching structure, so as to switch the body 201 between closing and opening.

[0054] Since the operation structure 27 is fixed on the support 20, when the support 20 rotates, the support 20 can drive the operation structure 27 to rotate synchronously. In this way, the operation structure 27 can be used to control the body 201 to close or open.

[0055] When the support 20 matches with the operation structure 27, the function piece can be matched with the operation structure 27. In this way, during the rotation of the operation structure 27, the operation structure 27 can drive the function piece to rotate, so that the function piece drives the body 201 to close or open.

[0056] The avoiding gap can make the operation structure 27 extend, so that the operation structure 27 can match with the body 201.

[0057] Of course, in addition to the above setting, the support 20 can also drive the function piece to rotate through other ways.

[0058] For example, the support 20 is provided with a transmission groove, and the transmission groove is opposite to the avoiding gap. The function piece is provided with a transmission boss, and the transmission boss can be embedded in the transmission groove to realize the matching of the support 20 and the function piece.

[0059] In this way, when the support 20 rotates, the support 20 can drive the function piece to rotate through the transmission groove.

[0060] The specific matching mode of the support 20 and the function piece is not limited herein.

[0061] In some embodiments, the operation structure 27 can be integrally formed with the support 20.

[0062] In this way, the operation structure 27 can be manufactured synchronously in the manufacturing process of the support 20, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the support 20, reduce the processing cost of the support 20, and also reduce the number of parts of the operation mechanism 100, and facilitate the assembly of the operation mechanism 100.

[0063] The operating mechanism 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the present application provides an operating mechanism 100, which comprises a housing 10, a support 20 and an energy storage assembly 30. The housing 10 has an accommodating cavity 11 inside. The support 20 is an integral structure, and is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. The support 20 can rotate in the accommodating cavity 11 to switch between a first state and a second state. The energy storage assembly 30 is located in the accommodating cavity 11, and two ends of the energy storage assembly 30 are rotationally connected with the housing 10 and the support 20 respectively.

[0065] During the switching of the support 20 between the first state and the second state, the energy storage assembly 30 stores energy, and releases the energy to drive the support 20 to rotate to complete the switching when the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are at a dead point position.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the operating mechanism 100 comprises the housing 10, the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30. The support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 11 inside the housing 10, and the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 cooperate to control the closing or opening of the switch 200.

[0067] Specifically, the support 20 can rotate in the accommodating cavity 11. During the rotation of the support 20, the support 20 can act on the energy storage assembly 30, so that the energy storage assembly 30 stores energy.

[0068] With the continuous rotation of the support 20, the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 can be at a dead point position. At this time, the energy storage assembly 30 can release energy to drive the support 20 to rotate, so as to realize the switching of the support 20 between the first state and the second state.

[0069] During the switching of the support 20, the support 20 can drive the body 201 to rotate, so that the body 201 can also act. In this way, the opening or closing of the switch 200 can be realized through the rotation of the support 20.

[0070] Since the support 20 is an integral structure, the support 20 can complete the molding process of the parts at one time when the support 20 is manufactured. Compared with the traditional step-by-step manufacturing or the separate arrangement of multiple parts to form the support 20, the manufacturing process of the support 20 is simplified, and the processing cost of the support 20 can be reduced.

[0071] In the operating mechanism 100 provided with the support 20, since the support 20 is of an integrated structure, the installation of the support 20 can be simplified. When the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, the installation process can be reduced, the assembly is facilitated, the structure of the operating mechanism 100 is relatively simple, and the cost of the operating mechanism 100 is reduced.

[0072] That is, by arranging the support 20 of an integrated structure, on the one hand, the manufacturing of the support 20 is relatively simple, and on the other hand, the parts in the operating mechanism 100 can be reduced, the assembly of the operating mechanism 100 is facilitated, and the cost of the operating mechanism 100 is reduced.

[0073] It should be noted that the support 20 can be a plastic part, on the one hand, the cost is relatively low, and on the other hand, the support 20 can be manufactured by injection molding, so that the manufacturing process is also relatively simple. Of course, the support 20 can also be made of other materials, such as aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, or cast steel, etc.

[0074] It should be further noted that, as shown in Figure 2 , the number of energy storage assemblies 30 can be multiple, and the multiple energy storage assemblies 30 can all store and release energy. Thus, when the support 20 is switched between the first state and the second state, the multiple energy storage assemblies 30 can all store and release energy, so that the multiple energy storage assemblies 30 can all drive the support 20 to rotate, and the reliability of the rotation of the support 20 is improved.

[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the support 20 can have opposite first and second mounting portions 21 and 22, and the first and / or second mounting portions 21 and 22 cooperate with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the first and second mounting portions 21 and 22 can rotate in the accommodating cavity 11.

[0076] As shown in Figure 3 to Figure 6 , the support 20 is connected with a support shaft 23, the support shaft 23 extends along the direction of the first and second mounting portions 21 and 22, one end of the energy storage assembly 30 towards the support 20 is provided with a clamping groove 301, and the support shaft 23 is embedded in the clamping groove 301 and can rotate in the clamping groove 301.

[0077] The support 20 can be connected with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 through the first and / or second mounting portions 21 and 22, so as to realize the rotary connection between the support 20 and the housing 10.

[0078] Specifically, the support piece 20 can be provided with a first mounting portion 21, and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 can be provided with a first matching portion capable of cooperating with the first mounting portion 21. The first mounting portion 21 and the first matching portion cooperate to complete the installation of the support piece 20.

[0079] The first mounting portion 21 can be a groove, and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 can be provided with a protrusion, which can form the first matching portion. The protrusion can be embedded in the groove, so that the side of the support piece 20 provided with the first mounting portion 21 is rotatably connected with the shell 10.

[0080] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first mounting portion 21 can also be a boss. Correspondingly, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 can be provided with a rotating hole, which can form the first matching portion. The boss is opposite to the rotating hole, and the boss can be embedded in the rotating hole, so that the side of the support piece 20 provided with the first mounting portion 21 is rotatably connected with the shell 10.

[0081] It should be noted that the rotating hole can be a through hole. In this way, the boss has more lap positions with the rotating hole, and the hole wall of the rotating hole has a better supporting effect on the first mounting portion 21, which can reduce the possibility of the boss falling out of the rotating hole and causing the support piece 20 to separate from the shell 10.

[0082] Of course, the rotating hole can also be a blind hole. The specific type of the rotating hole is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0083] It should be further noted that in order to enable the first mounting portion 21 to rotate in the accommodating cavity 11, the rotating hole can be a circular hole, and the side surface of the boss can be at least partially matched with the hole wall of the circular hole. For example, the boss can be cylindrical, so that each position of the side surface of the boss can be matched with the hole wall of the rotating hole.

[0084] Alternatively, the boss can also be a cylindrical shape with a portion cut along its axis, so that part of the side surface of the boss is arc-shaped and can be matched with the hole wall of the rotating hole.

[0085] Similarly, in the case where the first mounting portion 21 is a groove and the first matching portion is a protrusion, the groove can be a circular groove, and the protrusion can be cylindrical or a cylindrical shape with a portion cut, etc.

[0086] In addition to the first mounting portion 21 provided on the support piece 20, the support piece 20 can also be provided with a second mounting portion 22, and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 can be provided with a second matching portion capable of cooperating with the second mounting portion 22. The second mounting portion 22 and the second matching portion cooperate to complete the installation of the support piece 20.

[0087] The second mounting portion 22 can also be a groove or a boss, and the second matching portion can be a protrusion or a rotating hole. The specific arrangement of the second mounting portion 22 and the second matching portion can refer to the above description of the first mounting portion 21 and the first matching portion, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described here.

[0088] Of course, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the support 20 can also be provided with the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22, and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 can be provided with the first matching portion and the second matching portion.

[0089] In this way, the two sides of the support 20 can be rotatably connected with the shell 10, so that the connection between the support 20 and the shell 10 is more stable, and the possibility of the support 20 falling off from the shell 10 can be reduced, which can cause the support 20 and the shell 10 to separate.

[0090] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the support 20 is also connected with a supporting shaft 23, and the support 20 can be rotatably connected with the energy storage assembly 30 through the supporting shaft 23, so that the support 20 can apply force to the energy storage assembly 30 through the supporting shaft 23 during rotation, so that the energy storage assembly 30 can store energy.

[0091] In addition, when the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are at the dead point position, the energy storage assembly 30 releases energy, and the support 20 can be applied force by the supporting shaft 23, so that the support 20 can complete the switching of the rotation state.

[0092] Specifically, the energy storage assembly 30 and the support 20 can be rotatably connected through the cooperation of the clamping groove 301 and the clamping shaft 14.

[0093] In this way, the rotation center of the energy storage assembly 30 towards the one end provided with the clamping groove 301 is parallel to the rotation center of the support 20, so that the rotation of the support 20 can make the supporting shaft 23 and the energy storage assembly 30 relatively rotate.

[0094] In some embodiments, the support 20 and the supporting shaft 23 are integrally formed.

[0095] In this way, the supporting shaft 23 can be manufactured synchronously during the manufacturing process of the support 20, which can further simplify the manufacturing process of the support 20 and reduce the processing cost of the support 20. In addition, the number of parts of the operating mechanism 100 can also be reduced, and the assembly of the operating mechanism 100 is facilitated.

[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the housing 10 includes a first sub-housing 12 and a second sub-housing 13 that are oppositely disposed. The first sub-housing 12 and the second sub-housing 13 can be buckled together to form an accommodating cavity 11 .

[0097] The supporting member 20 may cooperate with the first sub-housing 12 and / or the second sub-housing 13 so that the supporting member 20 may rotate relative to the first sub-housing 12 and the second sub-housing 13 .

[0098] When the support member 20 is provided with the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22 , the first mounting portion 21 may be opposite to the first sub-housing 12 , and the second mounting portion 22 may be opposite to the second sub-housing 13 .

[0099] The surface of the first sub-housing 12 facing the second sub-housing 13 and the surface of the second sub-housing 13 facing the first sub-housing 12 may be the cavity walls of the accommodating cavity 11 .

[0100] In the case where the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22 are bosses, the rotation hole can be provided on the first sub-housing 12 and / or the second sub-housing 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown.

[0101] The rotation hole on the first sub-shell 12 is the first rotation hole 121 , and the rotation hole on the second sub-shell 13 is the second rotation hole 131 .

[0102] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a portion of the support member 20 facing the first sub-housing 12 is embedded in the first rotation hole 121 , and / or a portion of the support member 20 facing the second sub-housing 13 is embedded in the second rotation hole 131 .

[0103] Part of the support member 20 facing the first sub-housing 12 may form a first mounting portion 21 , and part of the support member 20 facing the second sub-housing 13 may form a second mounting portion 22 .

[0104] In this way, one end or both ends of the support member 20 can be rotatably connected to the housing 10. In addition, the connection between the support member 20 and the housing 10 can be simplified.

[0105] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in the case where the first rotation hole 121 is provided on the first sub-housing 12 , the first rotation hole 121 passes through the first sub-housing 12 , and a portion of the support member 20 is opposite to the first rotation hole 121 .

[0106] The operating mechanism 100 further comprises a driving member, which is in cooperation with the portion of the supporting member 20 opposite to the first rotating hole 121, and is used to drive the supporting member 20 to rotate.

[0107] Since the first rotating hole 121 penetrates the first sub-housing 12, when the supporting member 20 is embedded in the first rotating hole 121 on the side thereof facing the first sub-housing 12, the side of the supporting member 20 facing the first sub-housing 12 can be exposed through the first rotating hole 121. In this way, the supporting member 20 can be forced through the first rotating hole 121, so that the supporting member 20 is driven to rotate.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, the cooperation between the driving member and the supporting member 20 can have various modes, which will be described below by way of example.

[0109] In the first mode, the side of the supporting member 20 facing the first sub-housing 12 is provided with a driving hole 24, which extends in the direction from the first sub-housing 12 to the second sub-housing 13, and the first rotating hole 121 is in communication with the driving hole 24. The driving member is embedded in the driving hole 24 and is in contact with the hole wall of the driving hole 24, and is used to drive the supporting member 20 to rotate through the hole wall of the driving hole 24.

[0110] Since the first rotating hole 121 is in communication with the driving hole 24 on the supporting member 20, the driving hole 24 can be exposed through the first rotating hole 121.

[0111] In this way, when it is necessary to control the switching of the supporting member 20 between the first state and the second state, the driving member can be inserted into the driving hole 24 through the first rotating hole 121. Thus, the driving member can be forced to rotate, and the supporting member 20 can be driven to rotate through the driving hole 24.

[0112] It should be noted that, in order to enable the driving member to drive the supporting member 20 to rotate through the driving hole 24, the driving hole 24 and the driving member can also have different modes of arrangement.

[0113] For example, the driving hole 24 can be a square hole, a pentagonal hole, a waist-shaped hole, etc., and the corresponding driving member can be a shaft with a square cross section, a shaft with a pentagonal cross section, a shaft with a waist-shaped cross section, etc. The cross section of the driving member is the cross section thereof in the plane in which the driving hole 24 is arranged on the supporting member 20.

[0114] Alternatively, the driving hole 24 can be a circular hole, and the driving member can be a cylindrical shaft. In order to enable the driving member to drive the supporting member 20 to rotate, one of the hole wall of the circular hole and the outer wall of the driving member can be provided with a protrusion, and the other can be provided with a groove. When the driving member is installed, the protrusion can be embedded in the groove, so that when the driving member rotates, the supporting member 20 can be driven to rotate through the cooperation between the protrusion and the groove.

[0115] It should be noted that the driving hole 24 extends in the direction from the first sub-housing 12 to the second sub-housing 13, and the driving hole 24 can penetrate the support member 20, in which case the driving hole 24 has a large extension. When the driving shaft is inserted, the part of the driving shaft extending into the driving hole 24 is longer, which can make the driving of the support member 20 by the driving shaft more reliable.

[0116] Of course, the driving hole 24 can also not penetrate the support member 20. The specific arrangement of the driving hole 24 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0117] In order to make the driving of the support member 20 by the driving member more reliable, the depth of the driving hole 24 can be large.

[0118] In the second mode, the side of the support member 20 facing the first sub-housing 12 is provided with a driving boss, and the driving boss is opposite the first rotating hole 121. The side of the driving member facing the support member 20 is provided with a driving groove, the driving boss is embedded in the driving groove, and the driving boss is in contact with the groove wall of the driving groove. The driving member is used to drive the support member 20 to rotate through the driving boss.

[0119] Since the driving boss is opposite the first rotating hole 121, the driving boss can be exposed through the first rotating hole 121.

[0120] In this way, when it is necessary to control the switching of the support member 20 between the first state and the second state, the driving member can be clamped and matched with the driving groove through the first rotating hole 121. When the driving member is forced to rotate, the driving member can drive the support member 20 to rotate through the driving boss.

[0121] It should be noted that in order to make the driving member drive the support member 20 to rotate through the driving boss, the driving hole 24 and the driving member can also have different shapes, or the cooperation can also be achieved through protrusions and grooves.

[0122] For specific details of the driving hole 24 and the driving member, reference can be made to the description in the first mode, and the embodiments of the present application will not be described here.

[0123] In the above-mentioned first mode and second mode, the driving shaft can be matched with the support member 20 through the first rotating hole 121. In this way, the body 201 can be arranged on the side of the second sub-housing 13 away from the first sub-housing 12, so as to avoid the possibility of interference between the driving shaft and the body 201.

[0124] In this case, the operation structure 27 can be arranged on the second mounting portion 22, and the second rotating hole 131 can form a relief gap.

[0125] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the energy storage assembly 30 can include an elastic member 31 and a connecting rod 32, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is connected with the clamping shaft 14, one end of the connecting rod 32 is provided with a blocking piece 321, the blocking piece 321 is rotationally connected with the support 20, the side of the connecting rod 32 away from the blocking piece 321 is provided with a sliding groove 322, and the clamping shaft 14 is embedded in the sliding groove 322. The elastic member 31 is sleeved on the connecting rod 32, and the two ends of the elastic member 31 are respectively abutted with the clamping shaft 14 and the blocking piece 321.

[0126] The energy storage assembly 30 includes the elastic member 31, which can be elongated or shortened to realize energy release or storage of the energy storage assembly 30.

[0127] The energy storage assembly 30 further includes the connecting rod 32, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is connected with the clamping shaft 14, and the elastic member 31 can be installed through the connecting rod 32 and the clamping shaft 14.

[0128] Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 32 is provided with the blocking piece 321, which can be arranged towards the support 20 and rotationally connected with the support 20. The side of the connecting rod 32 away from the support 20 is provided with the sliding groove 322, and the connecting rod 32 can be sleeved on the clamping shaft 14 through the sliding groove 322. In this way, the part of the connecting rod 32 between the clamping shaft 14 and the blocking piece 321 can provide an installation position for the elastic member 31.

[0129] That is, the elastic member 31 can be sleeved on the part of the connecting rod 32 between the clamping shaft 14 and the blocking piece 321, so that the two ends of the elastic member 31 can be respectively abutted with the blocking piece 321 and the clamping shaft 14.

[0130] Among them, in order to enable the blocking piece 321 to move, the sliding groove 322 can extend along the extension direction of the elastic member 31. And in the extension direction of the elastic member 31, the size of the sliding groove 322 is greater than the size of the clamping shaft 14.

[0131] In addition, in order to make the clamping shaft 14 push the elastic member 31 more reliably, a gasket 33 can also be arranged between the elastic member 31 and the clamping shaft 14, as shown. Figure 5 And Figure 6 As shown, the side of the elastic member 31 towards the clamping shaft 14 can be abutted with the clamping shaft 14 through the gasket 33, thereby increasing the contact area of the elastic member 31 and the clamping shaft 14.

[0132] The gasket 33 can be specifically threaded on the connecting rod 32, and the two ends of the gasket 33 are respectively abutted with the clamping shaft 14 and the elastic member 31.

[0133] In the case that the support shaft 23 is arranged on the support 20, the resisting piece 321 can be rotationally connected with the support 20 through the support shaft 23. Specifically, a clamping groove 301 can be arranged on the side of the resisting piece 321 away from the elastic piece 31, and the support shaft 23 can be embedded in the clamping groove 301.

[0134] In the process of switching the support 20 between the first state and the second state, the support 20 pushes the connecting rod 32 to slide to the side close to the clamping shaft 14, the groove wall of the sliding groove 322 slides relative to the clamping shaft 14, the clamping shaft 14 pushes the elastic piece 31, so that the elastic piece 31 stores energy. When the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are at the dead point position, the elastic piece 31 releases energy to drive the support 20 to rotate to complete the switching.

[0135] In order to make the structure and principle of the present application clearer, the analysis is made in combination with the drawings.

[0136] Taking the case that the operating mechanism 100 is placed in the orientation shown in Figure 3 , at this time, the support 20 is in the first state.

[0137] If the support 20 is to be operated to switch from the first state to the second state, a force that makes the support 20 rotate counterclockwise needs to be applied to the support 20 by the driving piece. The support 20 rotates counterclockwise under the force, so that the support shaft 23 also rotates counterclockwise.

[0138] The rotation of the support 20 can push the connecting rod 32 to the direction close to the clamping shaft 14, and make the connecting rod 32 rotate relative to the clamping shaft 14 and the support shaft 23. Thus, the sliding groove 322 can rotate relative to the clamping shaft 14 and move relative to the clamping shaft 14. In this way, the resisting piece 321 can also move to the direction close to the clamping shaft 14 and press the elastic piece 31, so that the elastic piece 31 shortens and stores energy.

[0139] In the process of rotation of the support 20, the support 20 can be rotated to the dead point position where the rotation center of the support 20, the support shaft 23 and the clamping shaft 14 are collinear. At this time, the elastic piece 31 can release energy under the action of its own elasticity and push the support 20 to continue to rotate counterclockwise, so that the support 20 is in the second state and the switching from the first state to the second state is completed.

[0140] It should be noted that according to the theory of dead point position mechanism action, the action of the mechanism is uncertain at the dead point position. Therefore, in the present application, the elastic piece 31 releases energy to drive the support 20 to rotate counterclockwise and complete the switching at the dead point position. At the same time, it is also possible to drive the support 20 to rotate clockwise and cause the switching to fail.

[0141] Based on this, in order to improve the success rate of switching of the support member 20, the force applied to the support member 20 by the driving member may not be removed when it is at the dead point position, and the driving member may continue to apply force so that the support member 20 can pass the dead point position, reducing the possibility of the elastic member 31 driving the support member 20 to rotate clockwise, resulting in switching failure.

[0142] After passing the dead point, the force applied by the driving member to the supporting member 20 can be removed, so that the supporting member 20 can be driven to rotate by the elastic member 31 .

[0143] It is understandable that, compared with the driving member driving the support member 20 to rotate, the elastic member 31 releases energy to drive the support member 20 to rotate more quickly, which can improve the response speed of the operating mechanism 100 .

[0144] Similarly, if the support member 20 is to be operated so as to switch from the second state to the first state, a force needs to be applied to the support member 20 to cause it to rotate clockwise.

[0145] It should also be noted that when the support member 20 is in the first state or the second state, the elastic member 31 can be in a pre-stressed state. In this way, the elastic member 31 has a tendency to stretch to recover its deformation, which can make the abutment between the two ends of the elastic member 31 and the stopper 321 and the clamping shaft 14 more reliable.

[0146] It should be noted that the elastic member 31 may be a spring or other hollow member made of elastic material. The specific type of the elastic member 31 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0147] In some embodiments, a first micro switch 15 and a second micro switch 16 may be disposed on the first sub-housing 12 and / or the second sub-housing 13 at intervals, and a first indicator 25 and a second indicator 26 may be disposed on the support member 20 .

[0148] When the support member 20 is in the first state, the first indicator member 25 abuts against the first micro switch 15, and the second indicator member 26 is separated from the second micro switch 16. When the support member 20 is in the second state, the second indicator member 26 abuts against the second micro switch 16, and the first indicator member 25 is separated from the first micro switch 15.

[0149] In this way, when the support member 20 is in different states, it can abut against different micro switches 200 , so that the micro switches 200 can indicate the states of the support member 20 .

[0150] The support 20 is provided with a first indicating element 25 and a second indicating element 26. When the support 20 rotates to switch between the first state and the second state, the support 20 can drive the first indicating element 25 and the second indicating element 26 to rotate, so that the first indicating element 25 abuts against the first micro switch 15 or the second indicating element 26 abuts against the second micro switch 16.

[0151] For example, the operating mechanism 100 is placed in the orientation shown in the figure. At this time, the support 20 abuts against the first micro switch 15 through the first indicating element 25. Figure 3

[0152] When the support 20 switches to the second state, the second indicating element 26 can abut against the second micro switch 16.

[0153] It should be noted that the first micro switch 15 and the second micro switch 16 can be connected to other control devices through wires. The control device can obtain the state of the support 20 through the first micro switch 15 and the second micro switch 16, and then analyze the state of the switch 200, so as to facilitate automatic control, detection and other actions.

[0154] It should be further noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first indicating element 25 and the second indicating element 26 can be integrally formed with the support 20, so as to simplify the structure of the operating mechanism 100.

[0155] In the present application, the first micro switch 15 and the second micro switch 16 can be arranged on the first sub-housing 12 or the second sub-housing 13. Alternatively, the first micro switch 15 and the second micro switch 16 can also be arranged on both the first sub-housing 12 and the second sub-housing 13. The specific arrangement of the first micro switch 15 and the second micro switch 16 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support 20 is an integrally formed structure, the installation of the support 20 can be simplified. When the support 20 and the energy storage assembly 30 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, the installation process can also be reduced, the assembly is facilitated, the structure of the operating mechanism 100 is relatively simple, and the cost of the operating mechanism 100 is reduced.

[0157] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.​
