[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an interlocking device between a circuit breaker and a disconnecting switch, including a first shaft 5 and a second shaft 6. The first shaft 5 is disposed inside the circuit breaker 1 and connected to the circuit breaker operating main shaft 2, and the second shaft 6 is disposed inside the disconnecting switch 3 and connected to the disconnecting switch operating shaft 4. The first shaft 5 and the second shaft 6 are connected by a connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 is disposed through the side plate of the circuit breaker 1, with one end located inside the circuit breaker 1 and connected to the first shaft 5, and the other end located inside the disconnecting switch 3 and connected to the second shaft 6.
[0028] The second shaft 6 has two working positions. When the circuit breaker 1 is closed, the second shaft 6 is in the first working position, and the disconnector switch operating shaft cannot be operated. When the circuit breaker 1 is open, the second shaft 6 is in the second working position, and the disconnector switch 3 can be operated.
[0029] The operating mechanism inside the circuit breaker 1 is used to quickly disconnect and close the circuit. The operating mechanism is connected to the circuit breaker operating spindle 2, which is connected to the first shaft 5 and moves when the operating mechanism is started. Then it drives the first shaft 5 to move, thereby driving the second shaft 6 to switch between the two working positions.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: one end of the first shaft 5 is connected to the tripping shaft 8, which extends through the side wall of the circuit breaker 1 to the outer wall and is connected to the pointer plate 9 on the outer wall. The pointer plate 9 is used to indicate the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker 1; the other end of the first shaft 5 is connected to the connecting rod 7.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the circuit breaker is open, a first connecting piece 10 is provided on one end of the shaft 8 inside the circuit breaker 1. The first connecting piece 10 has a U-shaped notch 12, and the first shaft 5 is placed on the U-shaped notch 12. A second connecting piece 11 is provided on one end of the connecting rod 7 inside the circuit breaker 1. The first connecting piece 10 and the second connecting piece 11 are the same. One end of the first shaft 5 is placed on the U-shaped notch 12 of the first connecting piece 10, and the other end is placed on the U-shaped notch 12 of the second connecting piece 11. The middle part passes through the circuit breaker operating main shaft 2 and is perpendicular to the circuit breaker operating main shaft 2. When the circuit breaker is in the open or closed state, the circuit breaker operating main shaft 2 moves horizontally, thereby driving the first shaft 5 to move horizontally in parallel, thus rotating the open shaft 8 and the connecting rod 7 at both ends.
[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the connecting rod 7 is located at one end of the disconnecting switch 3 and is hinged to one end of the second shaft 6 by a screw. The second shaft 6 is divided into two sections, which are connected by another screw. One end of the second shaft 6 passes through the end baffle of the disconnecting switch 3 and cooperates with the baffle 13 on the disconnecting switch operating shaft 4. The second shaft 6 and the disconnecting switch operating shaft 4 are parallel to each other. The end of the second shaft 6 that passes through the baffle extends out from the outer end of the baffle. The disconnecting switch operating shaft 4 also passes through this baffle and extends out to the outer wall. The baffle 13 is sleeved on the outer disconnecting switch operating shaft 4. The baffle 13 is long and has a hook at the end. The second shaft 6 moves horizontally with the rotation of the connecting rod 7 to realize the switching between the first working position and the second working position.
[0034] In the first working position, the end of the second shaft 6 located outside the baffle plate contacts the hook on the baffle plate 13, thereby restricting the rotation of the disconnecting switch operating shaft 4. In the second working position, this end disengages from the baffle plate 13, allowing the disconnecting switch 3 to rotate. A sleeve 14 is also provided on the baffle plate at the end of the disconnecting switch 3, through which the second shaft 6 passes to prevent it from disengaging from the baffle plate during movement. The second shaft 6 rotates via the connecting rod 7, thereby extending and retracting on the sleeve 14. When extended, it contacts the baffle plate 13; when retracted, it does not contact the baffle plate 13.
[0035] An operating handle 15 is connected to one end of the disconnector operating shaft 4 located outside the baffle. The operator operates the disconnector 3 by rotating the operating handle 15.
[0036] In operation, the circuit breaker operating spindle 2 drives the end operating mechanism to close the circuit, causing the first shaft 5 to translate to the left. When the circuit is open, the shaft 8 drives the pointer plate 9 to point to the closed state. The connecting rod 7 drives the second shaft 6 to move to the right. The end of the second shaft 6 located outside the baffle extends onto the baffle plate 13, restricting the rotation of the disconnecting switch 3 operating shaft. The disconnecting switch operating shaft 4 cannot be rotated. When the circuit breaker operating spindle 2 drives the end operating mechanism to disconnect the circuit, the circuit breaker operating spindle 2 drives the first shaft 5 to translate to the right, and then drives the opening shaft 8 and connecting rod 7 at both ends to rotate. The opening shaft 8 drives the outer pointer plate 9 to point to the open state. The connecting rod 7 drives the second shaft 6 to move to the left. The end of the second shaft 6 located outside the baffle retracts into the sleeve 14, not contacting the baffle plate 13, and the disconnecting switch operating shaft 4 can be driven.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
