Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of low-voltage magnetic switch control, specifically to a manual closing device for a magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch. Background Technology
[0002] A magnetically controlled switch is a device that utilizes advanced semi-hard magnetic materials, employing excitation and demagnetization, supplemented by springs and a moving opening and closing mechanism. It is widely used in medium and low voltage lines. However, manually closing a magnetically controlled switch presents certain difficulties. Unlike permanent magnet materials, the magnetic materials used in magnetically controlled switches lose their magnetism after demagnetization. Closing requires external energy to the excitation coil; without mains power input, no closing energy can be provided. This application aims to enable manual closing. A search of existing technologies using keywords such as "magnetically controlled," "magnetically controlled switch," "low-voltage molded case switch," "manual," and "closing" yielded no relevant technical solutions.

[0018] Example 1:
[0019] This embodiment provides a manual closing device for a magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch, comprising:
[0020] Power module 1 is connected to MCU 2, analog signal sampling circuit 3, battery 4, and capacitor charging module 5. Power module 1 draws power from AC mains and employs a high-efficiency power conversion chip to ensure the stability and reliability of AC mains power. Power module 1 outputs four voltage levels: DC1 (typically 3.3V / 5V) provides digital power to MCU 2; DC2 (typically 2.5V / 3V) provides analog power to analog signal sampling circuit 3; DC3 (3.6V-5.4V) charges battery 4; and DC4 (typically 16V-24V) powers capacitor charging module 5. MCU 2 is a microcontroller unit used to control the operation of the entire device. It can monitor and control the device status in real time; battery 4 uses AA or AAA grade zinc-nickel batteries, generally 2-3 of which are selected as backup power. Zinc-nickel batteries are lithium-free, more stable and safe, and have a high fire resistance rating; the size and application of zinc-nickel batteries are no different from civilian AA and AAA grade batteries, and the batteries are small and easy to install; in addition, the selection of zinc-nickel batteries can ensure long service life. Zinc-nickel batteries can meet the calendar life of 10 years and 5000 cycle life, and there is no need to replace the batteries during the entire life of the magnetic switch; the output voltage of capacitor charging module 5 is generally around 400V, which is used to charge capacitor 6 and store energy, and can complete the charging of capacitor 6 in a short time.
[0021] The analog signal sampling circuit 3 is connected to the MCU2. The analog signal sampling circuit 3 is used to collect signals from the voltage transformer (PT) and the current transformer (CT) and transmit the signals to the MCU2.
[0022] The battery 4 is sequentially connected to the boost module 7 and the capacitor charging module 5. A switch SW1 is provided between the battery 4 and the boost module 7. A line 8 is provided on the rear side of the switch SW1, and the other end of the line 8 is connected between the power module 1 and the MCU2. The boost module 7 boosts the voltage DC5 (2V-5.4V) provided by the battery 4 to the voltage DC6 (16V-24V) required by the capacitor charging module 5. When there is no mains power, the switch SW1 is closed to provide power to the subsequent system. The switch SW1 can be selected as a self-locking switch or a non-self-locking switch. If a non-self-locking switch is selected, it needs to be used with a hardware self-locking circuit. After the switch SW1 is triggered, the hardware circuit self-locks the switch and automatically turns off the self-locking after the circuit is closed. This is conventional prior art, and this application does not make any improvements to it, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0023] The capacitor charging module 5 is connected in sequence with capacitor 6 and H-bridge 9. H-bridge 9 is also connected to MCU2 and magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch respectively. The magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch includes a molded case body 10 and an excitation coil 11, which is a mature existing technology. This application does not make any improvements to it and will not be described in detail here. Capacitor 6 is used to store the boosted electrical energy and a high-capacity, high-voltage capacitor is selected. H-bridge 9 is used to drive the excitation coil 11 of the magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch.
[0024] When there is mains power input, power module 1 draws power from the mains and outputs four voltages to power MCU2, analog signal sampling circuit 3, battery 4, and capacitor charging module 5 respectively. When there is no mains power input, switch SW1 is manually closed, battery 4 provides energy to MCU2 and boost module 7, boost module 7 boosts the voltage to DC6 (16V-24V) to capacitor charging module 5, capacitor charging module 5 outputs DC7 (about 400V) to charge capacitor 6 for energy storage. When capacitor 6 has completed energy storage, MCU2 sends a closing signal to H-bridge 9, H-bridge 9 obtains energy from capacitor 6 to drive excitation coil 11, thereby completing the closing of the magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch.
[0025] Example 2:
[0026] This embodiment can prevent backflow between some components and avoid affecting the normal operation of other sub-circuits. Specifically:
[0027] Specifically: a diode D1 is provided between the power module 1 and the MCU2, and the diode D1 can prevent reverse current between the power module 1 and the MCU2; a diode D2 is provided on the line 8; the combined provision of diodes D1 and D2 can prevent reverse current between the power module 1 and the battery 4, and avoid affecting other sub-circuits.
[0028] A diode D3 is provided between the power module 1 and the capacitor charging module 5. The diode D3 is provided to prevent reverse current between the power module 1 and the capacitor charging module 5. A diode D4 is provided between the boost module 7 and the capacitor charging module 5. The diode D4 is provided to prevent reverse current between the boost module 7 and the capacitor charging module 5. The combined arrangement of diodes D3 and D4 is used to prevent reverse current between the power module 1 and the boost module 7, so as to avoid affecting other sub-circuits.
[0029] The working principle of this application is as follows:
[0030] When there is mains power input: power module 1 draws power from mains power and outputs four power sources. DC1 supplies power to MCU2 through diode D1, DC2 analog power supplies power to analog signal sampling circuit 3, DC3 charges battery 4, and DC4 supplies power to capacitor charging module 5 through diode D3. Capacitor charging module 5 further charges capacitor 6 to store energy. When it is necessary to open or close the circuit, MCU2 sends a command to control H-bridge 9 to drive the excitation coil 11 of magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch to realize the opening and closing action of the switch.
[0031] When there is no mains power input: When switch SW1 is closed, battery 4 provides energy to MCU2 through diode D2. Battery 4 also provides energy to boost module 7. Boost module 7 boosts the voltage provided by battery 4 to DC6. Capacitor charging module 5 outputs DC7 voltage to charge capacitor 6 for energy storage. When capacitor 6 has completed energy storage, MCU2 sends a closing signal to H-bridge 9. H-bridge 9 obtains energy from capacitor 6 to drive the excitation coil 11 of the magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch, thereby completing the closing of the magnetically controlled low-voltage molded case switch.
[0032] This application utilizes a battery as an energy source, combined with a power booster and energy storage module, to achieve a manual closing function when there is no mains power input. This application solves the problem that magnetically controlled switches cannot provide closing energy when there is no mains power input. This application features a compact design, low power consumption, energy saving, and environmental protection. It is not only suitable for the manual closing of magnetically controlled switches but can also be extended to other application scenarios that require backup power. Preferably, this application uses a zinc-nickel battery, which makes the battery more stable and safe, has a high fire protection rating, and is small and easy to install.
