Description

Technical Field

[0002] Three-position switches with three working positions—closing, opening (or isolating), and grounding—are widely used in power distribution switchgear. An auxiliary switch is installed on the operating mechanism of the three-position switch; this auxiliary switch moves with the operating mechanism to achieve state switching between the three working positions.

[0003] Currently, the three-position switch control circuit requires a large number of auxiliary contacts according to project needs. The existing 48-contact single three-position auxiliary switch cannot meet the requirements, and its length has already reached 190mm. With only 220mm of installation depth space, it is impossible to increase the number of contacts by extending the auxiliary switch. In addition, the excessive length of the auxiliary switch also leads to insufficient power at the remote end and incomplete state switching when the steering shaft provides control power only to one side.

[0042] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a dual-gang auxiliary switch asymmetric topology crank arm mechanism for synchronously switching the states of a first auxiliary switch 100 and a second auxiliary switch 200, which are arranged side by side. This dual-gang auxiliary switch asymmetric topology crank arm mechanism includes an active rod 1, a V-shaped rod 2, a driven rod 3, and a connecting rod 4. The active rod 1 is located at the output end of the drive mechanism 300. The V-shaped rod 2 is connected to the first rotating rod 101 of the first auxiliary switch 100, and the first end of the V-shaped rod 2 is hinged to the end of the active rod 1 away from the drive mechanism 300. The driven rod 3 is connected to the second rotating rod 201 of the second auxiliary switch 200. One end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the second end of the V-shaped rod 2, and the other end is hinged to the end of the driven rod 3 away from the second rotating rod 201; that is, the connecting rod 4 is hinged between the V-shaped rod 2 and the driven rod 3. Driven by the drive mechanism 300, the active lever 1 moves to drive the first rotating lever 101 and the second rotating lever 201 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous state switching of the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 without the need to add additional contacts, effectively avoiding the situation of incomplete state switching; at the same time, precise synchronous control of the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 is achieved without adding a power source.

[0044] Specifically, both the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 have three operating states. Figure 2 The closed state shown is as follows: Figure 3 The isolation status shown Figure 4 The grounding state is shown. Both the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 are structures already disclosed in the prior art. Their specific structures and principles are as described in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0045] For example, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 300 is a motor commonly used in the art.

[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The V-shaped rod 2 includes a first rod 21 and a second rod 22 arranged at an included angle. A first rotating rod 101 is connected to the junction of the first rod 21 and the second rod 22. The driving rod 1 is hinged to the end of the first rod 21 away from the second rod 22, and the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the end of the second rod 22 away from the first rod 21. The symmetrical arrangement of the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 ensures the synchronous rotation of the first rotating rod 101 and the second rotating rod 201, thereby ensuring the synchronous switching of the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200. At the same time, the V-shaped rod 2 optimizes the torque transmission path and reduces energy loss during transmission.

[0047] Furthermore, the angle between the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 is less than 90 degrees, meaning that the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 are set at an acute angle. The acute angle setting allows the V-shaped rod 2 to be more compact, making it suitable for space-constrained environments, ensuring structural rigidity while also achieving weight reduction.

[0048] For example, in this embodiment, the angle between the first rod 21 and the second rod 22 is 70 degrees; in other embodiments, the specific angle can be set as needed, and is not specifically limited here.

[0049] Optionally, the V-shaped rod 2, the driven rod 3, and the connecting rod 4 are all plate-shaped to improve bending stiffness, effectively reduce deformation, and improve transmission accuracy; at the same time, the plate-shaped structure can achieve efficient use of materials and reduce overall weight.

[0050] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 This embodiment also provides a three-position switch, including a housing 400, the aforementioned double-gang auxiliary switch asymmetric topology crank arm mechanism, and a drive mechanism 300. The first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 are arranged side by side on the housing 400. The double-gang auxiliary switch asymmetric topology crank arm mechanism and the drive mechanism 300 are also arranged on the housing 400, possessing all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned double-gang auxiliary switch asymmetric topology crank arm mechanism, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] Furthermore, a transmission assembly 500 is provided between the output end of the drive mechanism 300 and the drive rod 1, and a rotating seat 401 is provided on the housing 400. The transmission assembly 500 includes a first crank 501 and a transmission rod 502. The first crank 501 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 401 and connected to the drive rod 1, and the transmission rod 502 is hinged between the output end of the drive mechanism 300 and the first crank 501. With the above arrangement, the rotation of the output end of the drive mechanism 300 can drive the movement of the drive rod 1, ensuring that the first auxiliary switch 100 and the second auxiliary switch 200 switch synchronously.

[0052] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 500 also includes a second crank 503, which is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 401 and forms an angle with the first crank 501. The second crank 503 is larger than the first crank 501 and connects the drive rod 1 and the first crank 501. This arrangement prevents the drive rod 1 from interfering with the transmission rod 502 during movement, ensuring the effectiveness of the transmission.

[0053] Optionally, the output end of the drive mechanism 300 is provided with a rotating disk, which can rotate around its own axis under the drive of the drive mechanism 300; the transmission rod 502 is hinged to the rotating disk. With the above configuration, the rotational motion of the rotating disk can be converted into linear motion by the transmission rod 502, which is more flexible and has a compact structure, making it adaptable to complex installation environments.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 400 is also equipped with an interlocking plate. The interlocking plate restricts the movement range of the active rod 1 through a mechanical structure, ensuring that the three working states cannot be activated simultaneously, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. Specifically, the interlocking plate is a structure already disclosed in existing technology, and its specific structure and principle are as described in existing technology, and will not be elaborated here.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
