The description and the drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the application.

[0025] In the related art, the isolation switch needs to be manually operated when being opened and closed, and the manual opening and closing of the isolation switch may not be complete. Moreover, the isolation switch is applied to a high-voltage circuit, and high-voltage arc is easily generated when the isolation switch is opened and closed, which has certain safety hazards.

[0026] Based on this, in order to improve the problem that the manual opening and closing of the isolation switch in the related art may not be complete, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of the present application provide an isolation switch, which comprises a mounting frame 1, a first insulator 2, a second insulator 3, a static contact mechanism 4, a first conductive support 5, a blade 6, a transmission mechanism, and a power mechanism 8. The transmission mechanism is used to transmit the power provided by the power mechanism 8 to control the connection and separation of the blade 6 and the static contact mechanism 4.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The first insulator 2, the second insulator 3, the transmission mechanism and the power mechanism 8 are arranged on the mounting frame 1, the static contact mechanism 4 is arranged on the first insulator 2, the first conductive support 5 is arranged on the second insulator 3, the blade 6 is rotationally connected to and electrically connected with the first conductive support 5, the power mechanism 8 comprises a base 81 and a stepping motor 82, the base 81 is bolted to the mounting frame 1, and the stepping motor 82 is fixedly arranged on the base 81; the transmission mechanism is used for transmitting power provided by the stepping motor 82 to control the opening and closing of the blade 6; the blade 6 is sleeved with the moving contact 61 at an end away from the first conductive support 5, and the moving contact 61 is bolted to the blade 6; the static contact mechanism 4 comprises a second conductive support 41 and two static contacts 42, the static contacts 42 are bolted to the second conductive support 41 and electrically connected with the second conductive support 41, and the outer surfaces of the static contacts 42 and the moving contact 61 are plated with conductive contact layers; the transmission mechanism comprises a first bevel gear 71, a second bevel gear 72, a transmission shaft 73, a first transmission arm 74 and a second transmission arm 75, the transmission shaft 73 is rotationally connected to the mounting frame 1, the first bevel gear 71 is keyed to the output shaft of the stepping motor 82, the second bevel gear 72 is keyed to the transmission shaft 73, the first bevel gear 71 is in meshing transmission with the second bevel gear 72, one end of the first transmission arm 74 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 73 and fixedly connected with the transmission shaft 73, one end of the second transmission arm 75 is rotationally connected to an end of the blade 6 away from the moving contact 61, and the other end of the second transmission arm 75 is rotationally connected to an end of the first transmission arm 74 away from the transmission shaft 73.

[0029] From the above, the isolation switch provided by the embodiment of the application can be installed on a specific device by the mounting frame 1 when the staff installs the isolation switch, and the first insulator 2 and the second insulator 3 are used to isolate the electrical connection between the first conductive support 5 and the second conductive support 41 and the frame body. When the staff needs to close the switch, the step motor 82 can be controlled remotely, the output shaft of the step motor 82 drives the transmission shaft 73 to rotate through the first bevel gear 71 and the second bevel gear 72, the transmission shaft 73 continues to drive the first transmission arm 74 to rotate around the transmission shaft 73, the end of the first transmission arm 74 and the second transmission arm 75 rotatingly connected is lifted upward, thereby pushing the second transmission arm 75 to move upward, the end of the second transmission arm 75 and the moving contact 61 rotatingly connected pushes the end of the moving contact 61 and the second transmission arm 75 rotatingly connected to rotate upward around the connection point of the moving contact 61 and the first conductive support 5, thereby making the other end of the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 move downward, after the moving contact 61 contacts the static contact 42, the moving contact 61 continues to move downward to compress the two static contacts 42 to deform to both sides until the moving contact 61 moves to the lowest point, the static contact 42 will be pressed against the moving contact 61 under the action of its own elastic force, the conductive contact layer has excellent conductivity, which can improve the connection effect of the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42, and similarly, the staff can control the separation of the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 by controlling the step motor 82. In this process, the staff can accurately control the rotating direction and rotating angle of the moving contact 61 by controlling the step motor 82, thereby avoiding the incomplete opening and closing of the isolation switch that may occur when the isolation switch is manually opened and closed. Since the isolation switch is applied to a high-voltage line, high-voltage arcs are likely to occur between the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 when the moving contact 61 is opened and closed, and the staff needs to be close to the line when manually opening and closing the isolation switch, thereby having certain safety hazards, and remote control of the opening and closing of the isolation switch can reduce the probability of safety accidents during operation. Since the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 will rub against each other when the isolation switch is opened and closed, high-voltage arcs generated in this process will also cause the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 to heat and be damaged, and after the isolation switch works for a long time, the conductive contact layer on the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 may be severely worn and cause the moving contact 61 and the static contact 42 to be unable to be effectively connected, when the moving contact 61 needs to be replaced, the staff can open the moving contact 61 and make the line de-energized, then unscrew the bolt used to connect the moving contact 61 and the moving contact 61, then take off the moving contact 61 from the moving contact 61 and install a new moving contact 61, and then screw the bolt, and similarly, the static contact 42 can also be replaced, which can ensure that the isolation switch works effectively for a long time.When the isolating switch works in a more severe environment, more dust will accumulate on the first insulator 2 and the second insulator 3, and the dust mixed with rainwater can cause a communication circuit between the first conductive support 5 and the mounting frame 1. When the staff needs to clean the first insulator 2 and the second insulator 3, the base 81 and the stepping motor 82 can be removed from the mounting frame 1, and then a high-pressure water gun is used to flush the first insulator 2 and the second insulator 3. After cleaning, the base 81 is installed back on the mounting frame 1 and the first bevel gear 71 and the second bevel gear 72 are engaged, so that the water flow during cleaning can be prevented from washing the stepping motor 82 and damaging the stepping motor 82.

[0030] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first transmission arm 74 and the second transmission arm 75 are both made of insulating materials.

[0031] In this way, when the contact 6 is closed, the current between the contact 6 and the stepping motor 82 can be prevented from interfering with the normal operation of the stepping motor 82.

[0032] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the base 81 is fixedly provided with a protective cover 9, the output shaft of the stepping motor 82 penetrates through the protective cover 9 and is rotatably connected with the protective cover 9, a plurality of air holes 91 are formed in the protective cover 9, and a plurality of waterproof edges 92 are fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the protective cover 9.

[0033] In this way, the protective cover 9 can block dust, rainwater and other foreign matters from contacting the stepping motor 82, and can protect the stepping motor 82. The stepping motor 82 generates heat during operation, the air holes 91 can accelerate the air circulation between the inside and outside of the protective cover 9, so that the heat generated by the stepping motor 82 can be promptly dissipated to the outside, and the high temperature inside the protective cover 9 can be prevented from damaging the stepping motor 82 and the connecting circuit; and the waterproof edges 92 can prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the protective cover 9 through the air holes 91.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , a controller 93 is arranged on the inner surface of the protective cover 9, and the controller 93 is electrically connected with the stepping motor 82.

[0035] In this way, when the staff needs to open or close the isolating switch, a wireless signal can be remotely sent to the controller 93, and the controller 93 can control the stepping motor 82 to operate after receiving the signal, so as to control the opening and closing of the isolating switch, and the wired signal line can be no longer used to control the stepping motor 82, which can reduce the probability of the occurrence of the situation that the isolating switch cannot work normally due to the damage of the line.

[0036] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
