[0016] 1. In the small disconnecting switch provided by this utility model, when the disconnecting switch is closed, the sliding frame pushes the push rod, causing the indicating device to rotate forward under the drive of the sliding frame and compress the elastic reset part to produce elastic deformation. At this time, the indicating part displays the closed indication status in the indicating window. In addition, when the disconnecting switch is closed, the sliding frame moves away from the push rod and the force applied to the push rod is removed, causing the indicating device to rotate in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the elastic reset part. At this time, the indicating part displays the open indication status in the indicating window. The indicating device designed with this technical solution can reliably realize the opening and closing indication function of the disconnecting switch and also has an elastic self-resetting function.

[0027] Embodiments

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 A small disconnecting switch with an indicating function is shown, comprising a housing 1, a sliding frame 2, and an indicating structure. The sliding frame 2 is movably disposed on the housing 1 to drive the moving contact 11 to contact or separate from the stationary contact 12. During the opening and closing operation of the disconnecting switch, the sliding frame 2 is driven to move linearly back and forth. The indicating structure includes an indicating device 3 rotatably disposed on the housing 1 and an indicating window 4 opened on the housing 1. The indicating device 3 includes a push rod 31 extending along the movement path of the sliding frame 2, an elastic reset part 32 extending offset from the push rod 31, and an indicating part 33 movably disposed within the range of the indicating window 4. The housing 1 is provided with a limiting part that forms a limiting cooperation with the elastic reset part 32. When the push rod 31 is driven by the sliding frame 2, the indicating device 3 rotates forward and compresses the elastic reset part 32 to produce elastic deformation. When the push rod 31 separates from the sliding frame 2, the indicating device 3 rotates in the opposite direction by the elastic force applied by the elastic reset part 32. The operation process of the indicator device 3 when the disconnecting switch is closed is as follows: When the disconnecting switch is closed, the sliding frame 2 pushes the push rod part 31, causing the indicator device 3 to rotate forward under the drive of the sliding frame 2 and squeeze the elastic reset part 32 to produce elastic deformation. At this time, the indicator part 33 is driven to display the closed indication state at the indicator window 4. In addition, when the disconnecting switch is opened, the sliding frame 2 moves away from the push rod part 31 and removes the force applied to the push rod part 31, causing the indicator device 3 to rotate in the opposite direction under the elastic force of the elastic reset part. At this time, the indicator part 33 is driven to display the open indication state at the indicator window 4.

[0029] The above-described implementation method is the core technical solution of this embodiment. The indicator device 3 designed using this technical solution can reliably realize the opening and closing indication function of the disconnecting switch, and also has an elastic self-resetting function. Specifically, the elastic reset force generated by the elastic deformation of the elastic reset part 32 under pressure is used to realize the reset rotation of the indicator device 3, ensuring that the indicator device can quickly and accurately return to the preset position after operation. This indicator device 3 has a simple structure, simplifies the installation structure, facilitates installation, reduces costs, ensures that operators can intuitively judge the electrical isolation status of the disconnecting switch, avoid misoperation, and ensure the safety of line maintenance or repair.

[0030] The following is combined Figures 1-3 The specific configuration of the indicator device is described in detail below:

[0031] The indicating device 3 comprises a circular shaft part 34 rotatably arranged on the housing 1, the push rod part 31, the elastic reset part 32 and the indicating part 33 are respectively connected on the circular shaft part 34, and the push rod part 31, the elastic reset part 32 and the indicating part 33 are arranged at an included angle with each other and extend around the circular shaft part 34. In this arrangement, the push rod part 31, the elastic reset part 32 and the indicating part 33 rotate synchronously as a whole. The sliding frame 2 is provided with a pushing block 21 or a pushing groove for pushing the push rod part 31. That is, the push rod part 31 extends in the movement path of the pushing block 21 or the pushing groove. When the isolating switch is closed, the sliding frame 2 drives the pushing block 21 to move downward and push against the push rod part 31, thereby driving the indicating device 3 to rotate in the positive direction. When the isolating switch is closed, the sliding frame 2 drives the pushing block 21 to move upward and away from the push rod part 31. Since the push rod part 31 is no longer subjected to the pushing force from the sliding frame 2, the indicating device 3 rotates in the reverse direction under the elastic reset force of the elastic reset part 32, thereby returning to the initial position. In this document, the positive rotation and the reverse rotation of the indicating device refer to the different directions of rotation, and do not mean the actual direction of rotation of the component.

[0032] Further preferably, the elastic reset part 32 is an elastic rib arranged in a bent manner, and the limiting part is a limiting baffle 5 formed in the housing 1. One end of the elastic rib abuts against the limiting baffle 5. The one end of the elastic rib is in an arc-shaped end structure, which is beneficial to reducing the frictional resistance when the arc-shaped end structure contacts the limiting baffle 5. The elastic rib is designed to be integrally formed, thereby eliminating the structure of the traditional reset spring. When the elastic rib is pressed against the limiting baffle, the elastic rib will be elastically deformed to provide a reset force for the indicating device 3. This structure simplifies the structure, reduces the cost and enhances the reliability according to the automatic reset design of the elastic rib of the indicating device. The split and closing indication is more accurate and intuitive. This structure is suitable for small-sized isolating switches which need to be frequently operated or used in harsh environments, and is functional and economical.

[0033] The indicating part 33 is provided with an indicating panel 35 away from the one end of the circular shaft part 34 and facing the indicating window 4. The indicating panel 35 is provided with indicating marks. When the indicating device 3 rotates, the indicating panel 35 displays in the indicating window 4. The indicating marks can be different color marks or split and closing style marks arranged on the indicating panel 35. The indicating marks can help the operator to clearly distinguish the split and closing indication state of the isolating switch, thereby enabling the operator to intuitively understand the working condition of the isolating switch.

[0034] In this embodiment, the indicating device is combined with the isolating switch. Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the small isolating switch further comprises a handle mechanism for driving the sliding frame 2 to reciprocate, specifically, the handle mechanism comprises an operating handle 7 rotatably arranged on the shell 1, and a torsion spring 8 connected between the operating handle 7 and the shell 1, the operating handle 7 is provided with a driving boss 71 connected with the sliding frame 2, the sliding frame 2 is provided with a driving groove 22 matched with the driving boss 71, the sliding frame 2 is driven to reciprocate by the cooperation of the driving boss 71 and the driving groove 22 when the operating handle 7 rotates, wherein the operating handle 7 and the indicator device 3 are respectively rotatable on both sides of the sliding frame 2, the bottom of the operating handle 7 is provided with a first protrusion, the shell 1 is formed with a second protrusion, and the two end feet of the torsion spring 8 are respectively connected with the first protrusion and the second protrusion; when the operating handle 7 rotates at the closed position, the sliding frame 2 is driven to move downward, the sliding frame 2 drives the movable contact 11 to contact with the static contact 12, and the operating handle 7 is kept at the closed position by the force of the torsion spring 8; correspondingly, when the operating handle 7 rotates at the open position, the sliding frame 2 is driven to move upward, the sliding frame 2 drives the movable contact 11 to separate from the static contact 12, and the operating handle 7 is kept at the open position by the force of the torsion spring.

[0035] As Figure 4 As shown, the sliding frame 2 is provided with a mounting through hole for mounting the movable contact 11, and a bent spring 6 is arranged in the mounting through hole and abuts against the movable contact 11, the movable contact 11 and the mounting through hole are respectively provided with a positioning block 23, and the bent spring 6 is provided with a positioning hole matched with the positioning block 23 to realize positioning and mounting of the bent spring 6 between the mounting through hole and the movable contact 11, so that the bent spring 6 is prevented from falling out of the mounting through hole, and the stability and reliability of the bent spring 6 are ensured. The bent spring 6 and the movable contact 11 are uniformly abutted, and hot spots or arcs caused by local poor contact are avoided, the bent spring 6 can automatically compensate the assembly tolerance or long-term wear between the movable contact and the static contact through elastic deformation, the contact pressure is kept stable, the heating caused by the increase of the contact resistance is reduced, the design of the bent spring connected with the movable contact has the characteristics of elastic self-adaptation, low operation force and high reliability, and the electrical performance and mechanical life of the isolating switch are significantly improved.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments are not enumerated, and the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
