Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present utility model are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a subway disconnect switch including a switch operation platform 100, a vibration damping component 200, and a ventilation component 300;
[0024] Multiple vibration damping components 200 are installed at the bottom of the switch operation platform 100, and ventilation components 300 are installed at both ends of the switch operation platform 100;
[0025] Among them, the vibration damping component 200 is installed at the bottom of the switch operating platform 100, mainly playing the role of vibration damping and support. The ventilation component 300 is installed at both ends of the switch operating platform 100, with air intake at one end and air exhaust at the other end, ensuring the air circulation inside the switch operating platform 100 while also reducing the humidity of the air inside.
[0026] Meanwhile, when the disconnecting switch starts working, since most of the disconnecting switches are installed in traction substations, depots, parking lots, and along the contact network of the subway main line, their special installation locations generate a lot of vibration when the subway passes by. At this time, the vibration is transmitted to the vibration damping component 200, which absorbs the vibration layer by layer, reducing the impact of vibration on the switch operating platform 100, thereby avoiding failures caused by loosening of precision conductive parts and greatly improving safety.
[0027] Furthermore, the location where the disconnect switch is installed must not only withstand vibration, but also the large amount of water vapor generated by the humid underground environment. The ventilation component 300 can make the air inside the switch operating platform 100 circulate. When the air is drawn into the switch operating platform 100 by the ventilation component 300, it is dried before being discharged, avoiding the use of humid air for circulation. This avoids the problem of short circuit on the circuit board caused by water vapor accumulation, and greatly improves safety.
[0028] In this embodiment, the protective compartment 120 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 110, the switch 130 is installed inside the protective compartment 120, the compartment door 140 is rotatably disposed on one side of the top of the protective compartment 120, and the handle 150 is installed on the top of the compartment door 140.
[0029] The mounting plate 110 provides support, the switch 130 is installed inside the protective compartment 120, and the protective compartment 120 and the compartment door 140 provide protection, protecting the switch 130 from external influences. The compartment door 140 is opened and closed by a handle 150, ensuring that the compartment door 140 is not affected by external influences when it is closed during operation, and that the compartment door 140 can be opened for easy inspection and maintenance when operation is stopped.
[0030] In this embodiment, a plurality of slide rods 210 are installed at the bottom end of the switch operation platform 100, a base plate 220 is installed at the bottom end of the plurality of slide rods 210, a plurality of slide plates 230 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of slide rods 210, and each slide plate 230 is slidably disposed on the corresponding slide rod 210, a plurality of first damping springs 240 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of slide plates 230, and one end of each first damping spring 240 is connected to the top end of the base plate 220 and the other end is connected to the bottom end of the corresponding slide plate 230, a plurality of second damping springs 250 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of slide plates 230, and one end of each second damping spring 250 is connected to the bottom end of the switch operation platform 100 and the other end is connected to the top end of the corresponding slide plate 230.
[0031] Among them, the slide bar 210 and the base plate 220 mainly play a supporting role. When the vibration damping component 200 starts to work, the vibration generated by the subway is first transmitted to the first damping spring 240. The first damping spring 240 absorbs part of the vibration. The vibration causes the first damping spring 240 to start to extend and retract. The extension and retraction then drive the slide plate 230 connected to it to start to slide on the slide bar 210. While the slide plate 230 is sliding, it also drives the second damping spring 250 to start to extend and retract, so that the second damping spring 250 absorbs another part of the vibration. The two damping springs can disperse most of the vibration generated by the subway, thereby avoiding the loosening of precision parts caused by frequent vibration and greatly reducing the failure rate.
[0032] In this embodiment, the diameter of the spring wire of the plurality of first damping springs 240 is greater than the diameter of the spring wire of the plurality of second damping springs 250.
[0033] The vibration generated by the subway during operation is considered as a driving force. When the frequency of this driving force is close to the frequency of the vibration of the damping spring, the resonance condition is met, causing the amplitude to increase continuously and resulting in more serious damage to the disconnecting switch. Therefore, by using two different types of damping springs, the driving force cannot be matched with the frequencies of the two inconsistent damping springs at the same time, thus avoiding the occurrence of resonance.
[0034] In this embodiment, the air intake fan 310 is installed at one end of the switch operating platform 100, the air intake duct 320 passes through the air intake fan 310, and one end of the air intake duct 320 extends into the interior of the switch operating platform 100. The drying device 330 is installed at the end of the air intake duct 320 that extends into the interior of the switch operating platform 100. The filter screen 340 is installed at the end of the air intake duct 320 away from the drying device. The air outlet fan 350 is installed at the end of the switch operating platform 100 away from the air intake fan 310, and the air outlet duct 360 passes through the air outlet fan 350, and one end of the air outlet duct 360 extends into the interior of the switch operating platform 100.
[0035] The intake fan 310 operates via an external motor. Outside air enters through the intake duct 320 with a filter 340 installed and exits through the dryer 330 installed. The filter 340 prevents the intake fan 310 from drawing in other particulate matter, while the dryer 330 absorbs moisture from the incoming air, resulting in dry air being output from the intake fan 310. This dry air is then delivered into the switch operating platform 100 and drawn into the exhaust duct 360 by the exhaust fan 350 before being discharged to the outside of the switch operating platform 100. By using dry air to ventilate the switch operating platform 100, the humidity of the switch operating environment is reduced, preventing short circuits on the circuit boards caused by moisture and significantly improving operational safety.
[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 331 is installed at one end of the air inlet duct 320 that extends into the switch operation platform 100, the storage rack 332 is installed inside the mounting bracket 331, and a plurality of ventilation nets 333 are respectively installed at both ends of the mounting bracket 331.
[0037] Among them, the mounting frame 331 mainly serves a supporting function, the storage rack 332 has multiple partition areas, the desiccant is placed inside the multiple partition areas, and there are two breathable nets 333, which are installed at both ends of the mounting frame 331 respectively.
[0038] Meanwhile, when the air in the air inlet duct 320 is ready to be output to the switch operation platform 100, it first passes through one of the ventilation nets 333, and then through the storage rack 332. The water vapor in the air will react with the desiccant in the storage rack 332 during the process of passing through it. The water vapor is absorbed and carried away by the desiccant, leaving dry air to pass through the other end of the ventilation net 333, and finally enter the switch operation platform 100.
[0039] In summary, the subway disconnect switch of this utility model avoids the loosening of parts caused by subway vibration through the design of various structures, and improves the ventilation efficiency at the disconnect switch and reduces the humidity in the working environment of the disconnect switch, thereby reducing the failure rate and ensuring the safety of the staff.
