[0002] In power systems, disconnecting switches are critical safety devices, and the reliability of their tripping mechanisms directly affects the safety and efficiency of circuit opening and closing. Existing disconnecting switch tripping structures generally suffer from the following problems:
[0003] 1. The top cover has many degrees of freedom and is spring-loaded before assembly, making it easy for the position to be misaligned and for it to be prone to misalignment and collision when the top cover is installed.

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] like Figures 1-8The present invention discloses a disconnecting switch operating mechanism, which includes a switch tripping structure. This tripping structure can be applied to similar rotary opening and closing switch structures, and the disconnecting switch operating mechanism can also be used in combinations of different disconnecting switches to solve the problems of complex structure, high assembly precision requirements, and inaccurate control of tripping force of existing tripping components.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The disconnect switch shown mainly includes a main shaft 50, a trip arm 60, a linkage plate 40, a trip assembly, and a housing 20 that houses these components. The main shaft 50 is rotatably mounted within the housing 20, and the linkage plate 40 is sleeved on the main shaft 50. To facilitate the reset of the linkage plate 40, a reset torsion spring 80 is also sleeved on the main shaft 50. One end of the reset torsion spring 80 is connected to the linkage plate 40, and the other end is limitedly connected to the housing 20 or other relatively stationary components, thereby enabling the reset torsion spring 80 to store energy when the linkage plate 40 moves with the main shaft 50.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 The linkage plate 40 has a central hole for easy assembly with the spindle 50. After assembly, the linkage plate 40 can be fixed using a connecting piece, allowing it to rotate with the spindle 50. The linkage plate 40 also has a coupling part 401, an abutment part, and a groove 403 on its side. In this embodiment, the groove 403 is located between the coupling part 401 and the abutment part. The coupling part 401 engages with the release arm 60, the abutment part engages with the auxiliary release plate 90 in the top column release assembly, and the groove 403 engages with one end of the reset torsion spring 80, thereby actuating it.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 A connecting shaft is provided on the upper left side inside the housing 20, and the upper end of the trip arm 60 is provided with a through hole 605 to rotatably connect to it, that is, the trip arm 60 can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise at a certain angle within the housing 20. A first protrusion 603 is provided on the right side of the middle part of the trip arm 60 to cooperate with the coupling part 401, and a vertically downward bent end head 602 is provided at the lower end. The function of this end head 602 is to cooperate with the tripping assembly; during tripping, the tripping assembly pushes the end head 602, thereby causing the trip arm 60 to disengage from the linkage plate 40.
[0050] Specifically, a limiting portion 604 is provided between the first protrusion 603 and the end head 602. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 604 and the first protrusion 603 are located on the same side, that is, both are located on the right side of the trip arm 60. The end head 602, the limiting portion 604, and the trip arm 60 are all integral structures, and all are formed by bending downwards at 90°. A third elastic member 601 is also provided at the limiting portion 604. One end of the third elastic member 601 abuts against the left side wall of the housing 20, and the other end abuts against the limiting portion 604. In this embodiment, the third elastic member 601 is a compression spring.
[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the tripping assembly includes a telescopic tripping component and an auxiliary tripping plate 90. The auxiliary tripping plate 90 and the tripping arm 60 are both L-shaped. The auxiliary tripping plate 90 has a bent portion 92 at one end near the tripping arm 60 (left end) that cooperates with a first elastic element. A first elastic element is also provided between the bent portion 92 and the right side wall of the housing 20. One end of the first elastic element abuts against the right side wall of the housing 20, and the other end abuts against the bent portion 92. When the linkage plate 40 rotates, causing the auxiliary tripping plate 90 to move forward, it compresses the first elastic element to store energy.
[0052] In this embodiment, the telescopic tripping assembly consists of a drive unit 71 and a telescopic unit. The telescopic unit includes a telescopic arm 73 and a contact block that cooperates with the tripping arm 60. The contact block is provided with a push arm 731 and a clearance groove 732. The telescopic unit can extend and retract under the excitation of the drive unit 71, or the telescopic assembly can be retracted by activating the drive unit 71. The telescopic assembly has the function of extending by sleeved with a second elastic element 72 on the telescopic arm 73. Of course, the extension force of the telescopic arm 73 can also be increased by adding a second elastic element 72, depending on the function of the drive unit 71. In this application, the telescopic tripping assembly adopts an excitation trip unit.
[0053] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 There are two push arms 731, which are arranged parallel to each other. A relief groove 732 for accommodating the bent portion 92 is formed between the two push arms 731. In this embodiment, the auxiliary tripping plate 90 is located above the tripping assembly, and the bent portion 92 is located in the relief groove 732.
[0054] Reference Figures 6-7 When the switch is closed, the linkage plate 40 rotates, causing the abutment part to contact the second protrusion 91 and push it to compress the first elastic member. After the switch is closed, the coupling part 401 is locked and engaged with the first protrusion 603.
[0055] When the switch is opened, the telescopic release member 70 is driven to push the release arm 60 to deflect, thereby releasing the limit between the release arm 60 and the linkage plate 40.
[0056] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. All technical contents for which protection is sought in this invention are fully described in the claims.
