[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The electric disconnect switch of this utility model uses a motor as the power source to drive the rotation of the moving contact.

[0032] In this invention, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or sequence, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, an electric disconnecting switch of this utility model includes a contact unit and a drive mechanism 6. The contact unit includes a moving contact portion 1 and a stationary contact portion that cooperate with each other. The drive mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 61 and a motor 62 for providing rotational driving force to the rotating shaft 61. The rotating shaft 61 rotates in conjunction with the rotating moving contact portion 1, causing the moving contact portion 1 to contact or separate from the stationary contact portion. The contact unit is provided with an arc-extinguishing structure to extinguish the arc generated when the moving contact portion 1 separates from the stationary contact portion.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, multiple contact units are provided, and the moving contact portions 1 of the multiple contact units are linked together, so that the multiple contact units close or open synchronously. In this embodiment, two contact units are used as an example, but it is not limited to this.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 61 can be manually driven to rotate, facilitating on-site maintenance by personnel. The drive mechanism 6 also includes a control component for controlling whether the circuit containing the motor 62 is conducting or not. This control component allows personnel to lock the motor during manual operation, preventing accidental energization and making manual operation safer and more reliable. Specifically, the control component includes a control switch 67 connected in series with the motor 62. This control switch 67 is driven to close or open by a control element 68, which is operable. Specifically, the control switch 67 is a microswitch, and the control element 68 is slidably configured, triggering or releasing the control switch 67 by sliding it.

[0036] The motor 62 is specifically connected to the rotating shaft via a gear transmission assembly, but this is not the only embodiment. In other embodiments, the motor directly drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The gear transmission assembly includes a worm 63, a worm wheel 64, a first gear 65, and a second gear. The worm 63 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 62. The axis of the worm wheel 64 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 61, and the worm wheel 64 meshes with the worm 63. The first gear 65 is coaxially connected to the worm wheel 64, and the second gear is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 61, with the first gear 65 meshing with the second gear. This invention also includes a main control board 4, which is electrically connected to the motor 62 to control whether the motor 62 starts or stops.

[0037] The drive mechanism 6 of this invention also includes an energy storage component 69. The rotating shaft 61 stores energy by rotating in conjunction with the energy storage component 69. The energy storage component 69 releases the stored energy to drive the moving contact part 1 to contact or separate from the stationary contact part. The setting of the energy storage component 69 enables this invention to achieve instantaneous connection and disconnection of the contact unit, avoiding the adverse effects of long contact arc burning time caused by the slow running speed of the motor 62.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, a drive wheel 66 is provided on the rotating shaft 61. This drive wheel 66 is the same as the second gear mentioned above, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the drive wheel 66 and the second gear are separate from each other. The moving contact portion 1 is provided with a driven wheel 14. The energy storage assembly 69 includes an energy storage drive wheel 691 and at least one movable component. The movable component includes a movable rod 692, a push rod 694, and an energy storage spring 693. The energy storage drive wheel 691 is located between the drive wheel 66 and the driven wheel 14. The drive wheel 66 has a first arc-shaped hole 661 concentrically arranged with the movable component, and the driven wheel 14 has a second arc-shaped hole 141 concentrically arranged with the movable component. The push rod 694 is provided on the energy storage drive wheel 691. The drive wheel 691 has one end of a push rod 694 that is slidably connected to the first arc-shaped hole 661 of the drive wheel 66, and the other end of the push rod 694 that is slidably connected to the second arc-shaped hole 141 of the driven wheel 14. A movable rod 692 is rotatably and slidably mounted on a fixed seat 695 located outside the energy storage drive wheel 691, and one end of the movable rod 692 is movably connected to the push rod 694. An energy storage spring 693 is fitted onto the movable rod 692 and engages between the push rod 694 and the fixed seat 695. In this embodiment, two movable components are provided, located on opposite sides of the energy storage drive wheel 691. Correspondingly, two first arc-shaped holes 661 and two second arc-shaped holes 141 are provided.

[0039] Therefore, when the shaft 61 rotates, it drives the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate, causing the energy storage spring 693 to store energy. When the energy storage spring 693 releases its stored energy, it drives the driven wheel 17 to rotate, thereby closing or opening the main switch 1, that is, causing the moving contact part 1 to contact or separate from the stationary contact part. Specifically, the detailed working process of the energy storage component 69 is as follows:

[0040] The drive wheel 66 rotates along the closing direction of the contact unit (clockwise as an example) with the rotating shaft 61. When one end of the first arc-shaped hole 661 on the drive wheel 66 abuts the push rod 694, as the drive wheel 66 continues to rotate, it drives the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate together. This causes the movable rod 692 to be pushed and rotate, moving outward of the energy storage drive wheel 691, and compressing the energy storage spring 693 to achieve energy storage. Figure 4 As shown; next, the drive wheel 66 continues to drive the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate a small angle until the movable rod 692 rotates to the position where the energy storage spring 693 releases the stored energy, as shown. Figure 5 As shown; during this process, the push rod 694 slides along the second arc-shaped hole 141 of the driven wheel 14, and the driven wheel 14 remains stationary. When the movable rod 692 rotates to the position that releases the stored energy of the energy storage spring 693, the energy storage spring 693 on the movable rod 692 releases the stored energy, pushing the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate rapidly in the direction of the contact unit closing, as shown. Figure 6As shown, the energy storage drive wheel 691 drives the driven wheel 14 to rotate together, thereby achieving the closure of the contact unit. During the process of the energy storage spring 693 releasing the stored energy, the drive wheel 66 will continue to rotate until the contact unit is closed in place. However, the rotation speed of the drive wheel 66 is less than the speed of the energy storage drive wheel 691, and there is a free stroke between the two. Therefore, the rotation of the drive wheel 66 will not affect the rotation of the energy storage drive wheel 691.

[0041] The driving wheel 66 rotates along the direction of the contact unit disconnection with the rotating shaft 61. When the other end of the first arc-shaped hole 661 on the driving wheel 66 abuts the push rod 694, as the driving wheel 66 continues to rotate, the driving wheel 66 drives the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate together, thereby pushing the movable rod 692 to rotate and move outward of the energy storage drive wheel 691, and compressing the energy storage spring 693 to achieve energy storage. Then, the driving wheel 66 continues to drive the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate a small angle until the movable rod 692 rotates to the position where the energy storage spring 693 releases the stored energy. During this process, the push rod 694 slides along the second arc-shaped hole 141 of the driven wheel 14, and the driven wheel 14 remains stationary. When the movable rod 692 rotates to the position where the energy storage spring 693 releases its stored energy, the energy storage spring 693 on the movable rod 692 releases its stored energy, pushing the energy storage drive wheel 691 to rotate rapidly in the direction of contact unit disconnection. The energy storage drive wheel 691 drives the driven wheel 14 to rotate together, thereby realizing the disconnection of the contact unit.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the moving contact portion 1 includes a contact support 12 and a moving contact 11. The stationary contact portion includes two stationary contacts 2, which are located on opposite sides of the contact support 12. The moving contact 11 is mounted on the contact support 12 and rotates with the contact support 12, causing both ends of the moving contact 11 to contact or separate from the two stationary contacts 2. The driven wheel 14 is mounted on the contact support 12. In this embodiment, the moving contact portion 1 has two moving contacts 11, which are arranged side by side along the rotation axis of the contact support 12, with a gap between them. At least one moving contact 11 is provided with a contact spring 13 between it and the contact support 12. The contact spring 13 is used to cause the two moving contacts 11 to clamp the two stationary contacts 2 when the contact unit is closed.

[0043] In this embodiment, the arc extinguishing structure includes arc extinguishing chambers 3 respectively provided at the parts where each stationary contact 2 contacts the moving contact 11, and the arc extinguishing chambers 3 are provided with permanent magnets and / or arc extinguishing grids.

[0044] This utility model also includes an auxiliary switch 8 for indicating the open / closed state of the contact unit. The auxiliary switch 8 is linked to the moving contact portion 1, or the auxiliary switch 8 is driven by a drive mechanism 6 to achieve closure or opening. In this embodiment, the auxiliary switch 8 is triggered to close or open by a rotatably mounted drive rod 9. The drive rod 9 is driven to rotate when the moving contact portion 1 rotates in the opening direction, and the drive rod 9 is reset by a reset element to release the auxiliary switch 8. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary switch 8 is a micro switch, which is triggered by the drive rod 9 to close. The drive rod 9 is driven to rotate when the moving contact 11 rotates in the disconnection direction. The reset element includes the elastic element 10, but is not limited to it. When the moving contact 11 rotates in the closing direction, the drive rod 30 is released, and the drive rod 9 is reset under the elastic force of the elastic element 10, thereby releasing the auxiliary switch 8 and causing the first auxiliary switch 8 to open. This utility model also includes another auxiliary switch (not shown in the figure) for controlling the running and stopping timing of the motor 62. This other auxiliary switch is electrically connected to the main control board 5 and is driven by the driven wheel 14, which is a cam structure. This utility model also includes a housing 5, and the contact unit and drive mechanism 6 are disposed in the housing 5. In order to achieve stable installation, a support frame 7 is provided in the housing 5, which serves as the mounting carrier for the contact unit and / or drive mechanism 6. One end of the rotating shaft 61 is provided with a first operating part, and the housing 5 is provided with a first clearance hole 51 corresponding to the first operating part; the control element 68 is provided with a second operating part, and the housing 5 is provided with a second clearance hole 52 corresponding to the second operating part. Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first operating part of the rotating shaft 61 is an operating hole 611, but it is not limited to this. The operating hole 611 is located inside the housing 5 and corresponds to the first clearance hole 51, which is a round hole. Thus, when the operator performs manual operation, a rotating tool (such as a screwdriver) can be inserted into the operating hole 611 of the rotating shaft 61 through the first clearance hole 51, thereby driving the rotating shaft 61 to rotate. In other embodiments, the first operating part is a knob or handle, which extends outside the housing 5. The second operating part of the control member 68 is an operating lever 681, which passes through the second clearance hole 52. The second clearance hole 52 is a straight elongated hole to facilitate the sliding of the operating lever 681.

[0045] This utility model discloses an electric disconnect switch, which uses a motor 62 as the power source to drive the moving contact part 1 to rotate. The large stroke characteristic of the motor 62 can achieve the large operating stroke requirement of the moving contact part 1, thus ensuring that the electrical distance of the contact unit in the open state meets the specified safe isolation distance. The contact unit of this utility model also has an arc-extinguishing function. Therefore, this utility model can be applied to the battery charging and discharging circuit of a battery energy storage system to control the connection or disconnection of the battery charging and discharging circuit. Furthermore, only one electric disconnect switch of this utility model is needed to replace one disconnect switch and two high-voltage DC contactors in a traditional high-voltage box, thereby simplifying the structure and control logic, reducing costs, reducing installation space requirements, and improving work efficiency.

[0046] This utility model discloses an electric disconnect switch. When applied to a battery energy storage system, it is only necessary to connect one contact unit to the main positive branch of the battery charging and discharging circuit and the other contact unit to the main negative branch of the battery charging and discharging circuit. This utility model can also be applied to other circuits with high current carrying capacity that require controlled on / off switching.

[0047] The present invention provides an energy storage system, including a charging and discharging circuit, and also includes an electric disconnecting switch as described above, with the contact unit connected to the charging and discharging circuit.

[0048] Since the electric disconnect switch of this invention includes two synchronously opening and closing contact units, the energy storage system of this invention only needs to use one electric disconnect switch of this invention. Specifically, the charging and discharging circuit includes a main positive branch connected between the positive terminal of the battery and the positive terminal of the power inverter system, and a main negative branch connected between the negative terminal of the battery and the negative terminal of the power inverter system, with one contact unit connected to the main positive branch and the other contact unit connected to the main negative branch. If the electric disconnect switch of this invention includes only one contact unit, then the energy storage system of this invention includes at least two electric disconnect switches of this invention, with one contact unit connected to the main positive branch and the other contact unit connected to the main negative branch.

[0049] For details regarding the structure and working principle of electric disconnect switches, please refer to the previous description; they will not be repeated here.

[0050] The electric disconnect switch and energy storage system of this utility model are identical to or can be implemented using existing technologies for the parts not covered herein.

[0051] The above embodiments are only used to further illustrate an electric disconnect switch and energy storage system of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
