Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnecting switch technology, and in particular to an arc-extinguishing mechanism for a three-phase load disconnecting switch. Background Technology
[0002] A disconnecting switch is a device primarily used for isolating power sources, switching operations, and connecting and disconnecting small-current circuits. When in the open position, the contacts of a disconnecting switch have an insulation distance that meets specified requirements and a clear disconnection mark. When in the closed position, it can carry current under normal circuit conditions and current under abnormal conditions (such as short circuits) for a specified time. It is generally used as a high-voltage disconnecting switch, i.e., a disconnecting switch with a rated voltage of 1kV or higher. While its working principle and structure are relatively simple, its widespread use and high reliability requirements significantly impact the design, construction, and safe operation of substations and power plants.
[0003] Chinese patent CN213546191U discloses a high-voltage disconnecting switch, including a disconnecting switch, a steel bracket, a transmission part, an operating mechanism, and a phase-to-phase connection joint. The operating mechanism is installed on one side of the steel bracket, the disconnecting switch is installed on the top of the steel bracket, the transmission part is disposed between the operating mechanism and the disconnecting switch, and the disconnecting switch consists of three single-pole switches. Each single-pole switch consists of a conductive part, a base frame part, a pull rod insulator, and two support insulators. The base frame part is fixed to the top of the steel bracket, the support insulators are disposed between the conductive part and the base frame part, the conductive part is disposed on top of the support insulators, and the pull rod insulator is disposed between the two support insulators. The upper and lower ends are respectively connected to a conductive linkage bracket and a linkage crank arm.
[0004] The disconnecting switch in the aforementioned patent does not have an arc-extinguishing function. Therefore, an electric arc will be generated when the switch is opened or closed. If the arc cannot be extinguished in time, it may cause contact erosion, equipment damage, or even fire, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an arc extinguishing mechanism for a three-phase load disconnect switch to solve the above problems.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: an arc-extinguishing mechanism for a three-phase load disconnector includes a conductive rod connected to the outgoing contact, a conductive clamp connected to the incoming contact, a conductive rod support for driving the conductive rod to rotate, and further includes:
[0007] An arc-extinguishing chamber, comprising a left arc-extinguishing plate and a right arc-extinguishing plate fixedly connected thereto, with an arc-extinguishing space provided between the left and right arc-extinguishing plates;
[0008] An arc-extinguishing contact blade, one end of which is connected to a conductive rod support, and the arc-extinguishing contact blade rotates into the arc-extinguishing space;
[0009] An arc-extinguishing chamber mounting plate, which is electrically connected to the incoming line contact and fixedly connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber;
[0010] An arc-extinguishing contact is electrically connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber mounting plate and extends into the arc-extinguishing space and is located on the rotation path of the arc-extinguishing contact blade.
[0011] The left or right arc-extinguishing plate is provided with a through hole for the arc-extinguishing contact to pass through.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the circuit is opened or closed, an electric arc will be generated between the conductive rod and the conductive clamp. Then, guided by the arc-extinguishing contact knife and the arc-extinguishing contact head, the electric arc will enter the arc-extinguishing chamber and be extinguished, thereby effectively extinguishing the arc.
[0013] This utility model is further configured to include:
[0014] An arc-extinguishing spring is provided, the lower end of which is electrically connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber mounting plate by bolts and fixed to the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber. The upper end of the arc-extinguishing spring is provided with a snap-fit hole for the arc-extinguishing contact to be snapped into place. The arc-extinguishing spring is made of conductive elastic metal material.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-extinguishing spring can effectively guide the arc into the arc-extinguishing space. When the circuit is opened, the conductive rod and the conductive clamp separate first. At this time, the arc is generated between the arc-extinguishing contact blade and the arc-extinguishing contact. Then, as the conductive rod swings upward, the arc-extinguishing contact blade quickly hits the arc-extinguishing contact, pushing the arc-extinguishing contact out of the arc-extinguishing space. At the same time, the arc-extinguishing spring bends outward. When the arc-extinguishing contact blade reaches above the arc-extinguishing contact, the arc-extinguishing spring drives the arc-extinguishing contact to reset and enter the arc-extinguishing space.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: a groove for mounting and embedding the arc-extinguishing spring is provided on the outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber, and the through hole is provided at the bottom of the groove.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the arc-extinguishing shrapnel on the arc-extinguishing chamber can be made more stable.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the arc-extinguishing contact extending into the arc-extinguishing space is provided as an inclined surface.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-extinguishing contact blade will move along the inclined plane below the arc-extinguishing contact when closing the circuit.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the upper ends of the left and right arc-extinguishing plates are inclined outward and have inlet ports.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-extinguishing contact blade can enter the arc-extinguishing chamber more easily.
[0022] This utility model is further configured to include:
[0023] A rotating shaft is mounted on a conductive rod support;
[0024] A torsion spring is sleeved on a rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the conductive rod support, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the arc-extinguishing contact knife.
[0025] The arc-extinguishing contact blade is rotatably connected to the conductive rod support via a rotating shaft.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the resetting effect of the arc-extinguishing contact blade is improved.
[0027] The present invention is further configured such that: the arc extinguishing space is provided with spaces for placing the arc extinguishing contact blade both above and below the arc extinguishing contact.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, there is a certain distance between the arc-extinguishing contact knife and the arc-extinguishing contact when the circuit is in the opening and closing state, thereby avoiding electrical connection between the arc-extinguishing contact knife and the arc-extinguishing contact.

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an arc-extinguishing mechanism for a three-phase load disconnector, including a conductive rod 57 connected to the outgoing contact 55, a conductive clamp 561 connected to the incoming contact 56, a conductive rod support 571 for driving the conductive rod 57 to rotate, and further including:
[0036] An arc-extinguishing chamber 580 includes a left arc-extinguishing plate 5800 and a right arc-extinguishing plate 5801 fixedly connected, and an arc-extinguishing space 5802 is provided between the left arc-extinguishing plate 5800 and the right arc-extinguishing plate 5801.

[0038] Arc-extinguishing chamber mounting plate 582, which is electrically connected to the incoming contact 56 and fixedly connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber 580;
