[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is evident that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present disclosure. Components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and illustrated in the drawing herein may be arranged and designed in various configurations.
[0063] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure as claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, unless conflicting, various features of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments still fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0064] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined or explained in the subsequent drawings.

For example, "horizontal" merely means that the direction is more horizontal than "vertical" and does not mean that the structure must be perfectly horizontal, but may be slightly inclined.
[0067] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or defined, the terms "disposed", "mounted", "connected", or "linked" shall be interpreted broadly and may be, for example, fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, or electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection via an intermediate, or internal communication between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure may be understood according to the specific condition.
[0068] In an existing isolating switch, the distance between a rotating point of an operating mechanism and a rotating point of a switch body is far, such that the arrangement of connecting bars is convenient. However, under the requirement of a miniaturized space scene, the arrangement of the existing connecting bar is undoubtedly no longer suitable for the requirement of short-distance transmission.
[0069] In view of the above, in order to solve the above problems, in a first aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 1-3, a transmission mechanism is provided. The transmission mechanism includes a first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is configured to be connected between an operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 and a body rotating shaft 310, such that a rotation angle θ 1 of the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is less than a rotation angle θ 2 of the body rotating shaft 310.
[0070] An operating mechanism 200 and a switch body 300 are driven by the transmission mechanism. Referring to FIG. 6, a handle 600 drives the operating mechanism 200 to act, and then drives the switch body 300 to act through the transmission mechanism, so as to achieve opening and closing.
[0071] The transmission mechanism includes the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is connected to the body rotating shaft 310 through the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, such that the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 and the switch body 300 are driven to be linked through the action of the operating mechanism 200.
[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotation angle θ 1 of the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is 40° to 70°, and the rotation angle θ 2 of the body rotating shaft 310 is 80° to 120°. The rotation angle θ 1 of the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is an acute angle, the rotation angle θ 2 of the body rotating shaft 310 is an obtuse angle, and the conversion from the acute angle to the obtuse angle is achieved through the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, so as to adapt to the requirement of a short distance between a rotation center of the operating mechanism 200 and a rotation center of the switch body 300.
[0073] Therefore, the transmission mechanism provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 connecting the operating mechanism 200 and the switch body 300. The operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 and the body rotating shaft 310 are in transmission connection through the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, such that the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 and the switch body 300 are driven to be linked in sequence through the action of the operating mechanism 200, so as to achieve opening and closing. Compared with an existing structure in which connection is achieved through one connecting bar, in the present disclosure, the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 drives the body rotating shaft 310 to synchronously rotate through the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 meets the transmission requirement for the small distance between the rotating point (the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210) of the operating mechanism 200 and the rotating point (the body rotating shaft 310) of the switch body 300 under the miniaturized spatial layout, such that the rotation angle θ 1 of the operating mechanism 200 is less than the rotation angle θ 2 of the switch body 300, the transmission is stable and reliable, the transmission torque is large, the requirement for angle conversion in a small space is met, and the miniaturized product arrangement is facilitated.
[0074] On this basis, the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is disposed inside the switch body 300, and the operating mechanism 200 is connected to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 through a mechanism support 120; a part of the mechanism support 120 extends into the switch body 300, such that projections of the mechanism support 120 and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 along an axis direction of the body rotating shaft 310 partially overlap the switch body 300.
[0075] Exemplarily, referring to FIGS. 3, 5 and 6, the mechanism support 120 is provided with second vertical plates 1232 extending into the switch body 300, arc-shaped notches 1232b are formed on the second vertical plates 1232 to avoid the body rotating shaft 310, and the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 penetrates through the second vertical plates 1232 of the mechanism support 120 and is connected to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110.
[0076] Exemplarily, two second vertical plates 1232 oppositely disposed are provided to clamp the first connecting bar 111 of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 therebetween.
[0077] Arc-shaped grooves 1232a are further formed on the second vertical plates 1232, and a rotation angle of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 can be limited through the arc-shaped grooves 1232a; a pin shaft 1111 is disposed inside the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, and the pin shaft 1111 penetrates into the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to connect the second vertical plates 1232 to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110; when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 rotates along with the mechanism support 120, a rotation range of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is limited within an arc range of the arc-shaped grooves 1232a through the rotation of the pin shaft 1111 in the arc-shaped grooves 1232a.
[0078] In addition, the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is further provided with an energy storage member 125, the energy storage member 125 is generally an energy storage spring and sleeves the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210, and two ends of the energy storage member are respectively connected to the two second vertical plates 1232; the energy storage member 125 is configured to store energy when the mechanism support 120 drives the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to be closed and release energy when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is opened.
[0079] The first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is located inside the switch body 300, the second vertical plates 1232 extend into the switch body 300, and the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 is connected to the second vertical plates 1232, such that the arrangement can more adapt to the transmission requirement of the small distance between the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 and the body rotating shaft 310. It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 and the body rotating shaft 310 are basically close to each other, such that the size of the isolating switch 800 in a height direction (a first direction F1) can be reduced, and thus the isolating switch 800 can meet the scene requirement of volume miniaturization.
[0080] Specifically, the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 includes a first connecting bar 111, a second connecting bar 112, a third connecting bar 113, and a fourth connecting bar which are connected in sequence, the first connecting bar 111 is connected to the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210, the third connecting bar 113 is connected to the body rotating shaft 310, and the fourth connecting bar is a virtual connecting bar connecting the body rotating shaft 310 to the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210.
[0081] Exemplarily, one end of the first connecting bar 111 is connected to the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210, the other end is connected to one end of the second connecting bar 112, the other end of the second connecting bar 112 is connected to one end of the third connecting bar 113, and the third connecting bar 113 is provided with the body rotating shaft 310; the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is formed by the three connecting bars and the virtual connecting bar formed between the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 and the body rotating shaft 310.
[0082] As mentioned above, the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 penetrates through the second vertical plates 1232 of the mechanism support 120 to be connected to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110. Specifically, the mechanism support 120 is connected to the first connecting bar 111 through the operating mechanism rotating shaft 210.
[0083] When the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is connected, two adjacent connecting bars are in transmission connection through a shaft and a hole. Specifically, the first connecting bar 111 and the second connecting bar 112 are in transmission connection through the shaft and the hole, and the second connecting bar 112 and the third connecting bar 113 are in transmission connection through the shaft and the hole.
[0084] Exemplarily, the hole is formed on an end portion of the first connecting bar 111, the shaft is disposed on an end portion of the second connecting bar 112, and the shaft and the hole cooperate to connect the first connecting bar 111 to the second connecting bar 112. In other cases, the shaft is disposed on an end portion of the first connecting bar 111, the hole is formed on an end portion of the second connecting bar 112, and the shaft and the hole cooperate to connect the first connecting bar and the second connecting bar. Similarly, for the second connecting bar 112 and the third connecting bar 113, the hole may be formed on the second connecting bar 112, and the shaft is disposed on the third connecting bar 113; or, the hole is formed on the third connecting bar 113, and the shaft is disposed on the second connecting bar 112.
[0085] Further, the first connecting bar 111, the second connecting bar 112, and the third connecting bar 113 may be connected pairwise; or a single connecting bar is clamped between two connecting bars; when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is connected, two adjacent connecting bars are connected in a clamping manner. For example, two first connecting bars 111 are included, and the second connecting bar 112 is clamped between the two parallel first connecting bars 111; or, two second connecting bars 112 are included, and the first connecting bar 111 and the third connecting bar 113 are respectively clamped between the two parallel second connecting bars 112; or, two third connecting bars 113 are included, and the second connecting bar 112 is clamped between the two parallel third connecting bars 113.
[0086] In one implementation of the present disclosure, two parallel second connecting bars 112 are provided, and end portions of the two parallel second connecting bars 112 respectively clamp end portions of the first connecting bar 111 and the third connecting bar 113 therebetween. Compared with a case that single-side stress deflection is likely to occur when a single connecting bar is used for connection, the present disclosure adopts the arrangement of clamping a single connecting bar between two connecting bars, and can ensure that the transmission force is transmitted in a plane and the transmission force is stable.
[0087] On this basis, when a quantity of switch bodies 300 is greater than 1, a plurality of stages of switch bodies 300 are disposed side by side along the first direction, and the body rotating shafts 310 of two adjacent stages of switch bodies 300 are connected through a second four-bar linkage mechanism 320.
[0088] Referring to FIG. 1, the first direction is an axis direction perpendicular to the body rotating shaft 310, and in the first direction, one side of the operating mechanism 200 is sequentially provided with a first stage of switch body 300, a second stage of switch body 300, and a third stage of switch body 300, etc. side by side. Every two stages of switch bodies 300 are connected through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320, and specifically, the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 is connected between the body rotating shafts 310 of the stages of switch bodies 300.
[0089] Specifically, the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 includes a fifth connecting bar 321 connected to the body rotating shaft 310 of one stage of switch body 300, a sixth connecting bar 322 connected to the body rotating shaft 310 of a next stage of switch body 300, a seventh connecting bar 323 connected to the fifth connecting bar 321 and the sixth connecting bar 322, and a virtual eighth connecting bar connected between the body rotating shafts 310 of two adjacent stages of switch bodies 300.
[0090] The virtual eighth connecting bar is formed between the body rotating shafts 310 of two adjacent stages of switch bodies 300, and, together with the fifth connecting bar 321, the sixth connecting bar 322, and the seventh connecting bar 323, forms the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320. Exemplarily, the fifth connecting bar 321, the third connecting bar 113 and the first stage of body rotating shaft 310 are integrally disposed, and the first stage of body rotating shaft 310 is located at a junction of end portions of the fifth connecting bar 321 and the third connecting bar 113.
[0091] The first stage of switch body 300 and the second stage of switch body 300 are linked through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320. Similarly, another second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 may be disposed between the second stage of switch body 300 and the third stage of switch body 300, yet another second four-bar linkage mechanism may be disposed between the third stage of switch body 300 and the fourth stage of switch body 300, and in this way, the transmission among all stages of switch bodies 300 is achieved through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320.
[0092] Through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320, synchronous transmission among all stages of switch bodies 300 is achieved, the transmission is stable and reliable, and the transmission torque is large; the structure has strong extensibility, and a plurality of stages of switch bodies 300 can be connected in parallel through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320, thereby achieving the modularization requirement of products.
[0093] Similar to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, in the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320, two adjacent connecting bars are in transmission connection through a shaft and a hole. Specifically, the fifth connecting bar 321 and the sixth connecting bar 322 are in transmission connection through the shaft and the hole, and the sixth connecting bar 322 and the seventh connecting bar 323 are in transmission connection through the shaft and the hole.
[0094] The shaft may be disposed on the fifth connecting bar 321, and the hole is formed on the sixth connecting bar 322; or the shaft is disposed on the sixth connecting bar 322, and the hole is formed on the fifth connecting bar 321; similarly, for the sixth connecting bar 322 and the seventh connecting bar 323, the shaft and the hole cooperate to achieve connection and transmission between the two connecting bars.
[0095] Exemplarily, the fifth connecting bar 321 and the sixth connecting bar 322 are disposed in parallel, such that the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 forms a parallelogram structure so as to achieve stable transmission.
[0096] Similarly, in the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320, two adjacent connecting bars are connected in a clamping manner. Two fifth connecting bars 321 are included, and the sixth connecting bar 322 is clamped between the two parallel fifth connecting bars 321; or, two sixth connecting bars 322 are included, and the fifth connecting bar 321 and the seventh connecting bar 323 are respectively clamped between the two parallel sixth connecting bars 322; or, two seventh connecting bars 323 are included, and the sixth connecting bar 322 is clamped between the two parallel seventh connecting bars 323.
[0097] The present disclosure shows a case that end portions of the two seventh connecting bars 323 respectively clamp the fifth connecting bar 321 and the sixth connecting bar 322. Similar to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 can ensure stable transmission by using two connecting bars to clamp a single connecting bar.
[0098] The first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 and the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 are respectively located at two sides of a connection line of the body rotating shafts 310 of two stages of switch bodies 300.
[0099] A connection line direction of the body rotating shafts 310 of the two stages of switch bodies 300 is the first direction. Exemplarily, the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is located below the connection line, and the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 is located above the connection line, so as to facilitate spatial layout and achieve stable transmission.
[0100] Specifically, the second connecting bar 112 and the seventh connecting bar 323 are respectively located at two sides of the connection line of the body rotating shafts 310 of the two stages of switch bodies 300 to form a structure symmetrical along the connection line, which is beneficial to the rotation balance of the two four-bar linkage mechanisms 230.
[0101] In a second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 3 and 6, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provides an isolating switch 800. The isolating switch further includes a handle 600, an operating mechanism 200, and at least one stage of switch body 300 which are linked in sequence, and the operating mechanism 200 and one stage of switch body 300 are connected through the above-mentioned transmission mechanism.
[0102] The operating mechanism 200 is in transmission connection to the first stage of switch body 300 through a first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and all stages of switch bodies 300 are in transmission connection through a second four-bar linkage mechanism 320.
[0103] Each stage of switch body 300 includes a plurality of layers of switch units 330 disposed along an axis direction of a body rotating shaft 310, and adjacent switch units 330 are in transmission connection through respective body rotating shafts 310.
[0104] For a single stage of switch body 300, the switch body includes a plurality of layers of switch units 330 stacked, and the plurality of layers of switch units 330 are stacked along the axis direction of the body rotating shaft 310; the plurality of layers of switch units 330 are in transmission connection through respective body rotating shafts 310.
[0105] In addition, in order to improve the convenience of assembly, the body rotating shafts 310 of the switch units 330 are symmetrically disposed along a direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the body rotating shaft 310, that is, the first direction. Referring to FIG. 4, grooves 311 or bosses are formed at both symmetrical ends of the body rotating shaft 310; the body rotating shafts 310 of two adjacent switch units 330 are connected through the cooperation of the adjacent grooves 311 and the bosses.
[0106] Both ends of the same body rotating shaft 310 are provided with the grooves 311 or the bosses; the adjacent body rotating shafts 310 are in transmission connection through the cooperation of the bosses and the grooves 311.
[0107] For example, both ends of a first body rotating shaft 310 are provided with grooves 311, both ends of the adjacent body rotating shaft 310 above the first body rotating shaft are provided with bosses, and the bosses of the body rotating shaft 310 above the first body rotating shaft are embedded in the grooves 311 of the first body rotating shaft 310, such that the two body rotating shafts are in transmission connection; the body rotating shaft 310 below the first body rotating shaft 310 is also connected to the first body rotating shaft in the same manner, and all layers of body rotating shafts 310 are sequentially in transmission connection to achieve torque transfer, such that all layers of switch units 330 are synchronously driven.
[0108] In the axis direction of the body rotating shaft 310, the plurality of layers of switch units 330 are synchronously driven through respective body rotating shafts 310; along the first direction, the handle 600 drives the operating mechanism 200 to act, an operating mechanism rotating shaft 210 drives the body rotating shafts 310 of one stage of switch body 300 to synchronously rotate through the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and each stage of body rotating shaft 310 of the plurality of stages of switch bodies 300 is driven through the second four-bar linkage mechanism 320 to synchronously rotate, such that the isolating switch 800 is opened or closed.
[0109] The isolating switch 800 has the same structure and beneficial effects as the transmission mechanism in the above-mentioned embodiments. The structure and beneficial effects of the transmission mechanism have been described in detail in the above-mentioned embodiments, and are not described in detail herein.
[0110] In a third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIGS. 7-9, an action mechanism is provided. The action mechanism includes an action assembly, and the action mechanism includes a mechanism support 120 and a first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 which are in transmission connection; the mechanism support 120 is driven to rotate and can drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move, such that contact mechanisms 700 in switch bodies 300 of an isolating switch 800 are opened or closed; along a rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, an orthographic projection of the action assembly on the switch bodies 300 partially overlaps the switch bodies 300; the mechanism support 120 includes a support main body 121 and a bent portion 122 connected to the support main body 121, and a width of the support main body 121 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120 is different from a width of the bent portion 122 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120. The action mechanism can reduce the size of the isolating switch 800 in a height direction.
[0111] It should be noted that, firstly, the action mechanism provided by the present disclosure includes the action assembly, the action assembly includes the mechanism support 120 and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the mechanism support 120 is in transmission connection to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, such that the mechanism support 120 is driven to rotate to drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move, and thus the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 drives the contact mechanisms 700 in the switch bodies 300 of the isolating switch 800 to be opened or closed.
[0112] It should be understood that the contact mechanisms 700 of the isolating switch 800 are located inside the switch bodies 300. The specific structures of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 and the contact mechanisms 700 are not limited in the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can set the specific structures by themselves as long as the mechanism support 120 can be driven to rotate to drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move, so as to open or close the contact mechanisms 700 located inside the switch bodies 300.
[0113] Secondly, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, an orthographic projection of the action assembly on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300. Optionally, in one feasible implementation, it may be that: along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the orthographic projection of the mechanism support 120 on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300.
[0114] In another feasible implementation, it may be that: along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, an orthographic projection of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300.
[0115] In yet another feasible implementation, it may be that: along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, orthographic projections of a part of the structure of the mechanism support 120 and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 on the switch body 300 partially overlap with the switch body 300.
[0116] That is, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the present disclosure does not limit which part of the action assembly partially overlaps the switch body 300 in the orthographic projection on the switch body 300, and the action assembly can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation. For convenience of description, the following and the drawings mainly exemplify that along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the orthographic projection of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300.
[0117] It should be noted that the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120 corresponds to a direction perpendicular to the paper in the orientation of FIG. 8. In the present embodiment, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, an orthographic projection of the mechanism support 120 on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, at least a part of the mechanism support 120 extends downward into the switch body 300 of the isolating switch 800.
[0118] According to the present disclosure, at least a part of region of the action assembly extends into the switch body 300 of the isolating switch 800, such that the overall size of the isolating switch 800 along the height direction thereof can be reduced, the isolating switch 800 is beneficial to miniaturization, the application scenes of the isolating switch 800 can be widened, and the applicability of a plurality of application scenes of the isolating switch 800 is improved.
[0119] Specifically, the size of the action assembly extending into the switch body 300 is not limited in the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can determine the size according to the actual situation. For example, when the mechanism support 120 of the action assembly extends into the switch body 300, the bent portion 122 of the mechanism support 120 may extend into the switch body 300 as a whole, or at least a part of the bent portion 122 may extend into the switch body 300. The bent portion 122 will be described in detail below.
[0120] Thirdly, the above-mentioned mechanism support 120 includes a support main body 121 and a bent portion 122 connected to the support main body 121. In the present embodiment, the bent portion 122 is located between the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 and the support main body 121.
[0121] In addition, exemplarily, the above-mentioned bent portion 122 and the support main body 121 may be connected to each other to form an integral structure, as shown in FIG. 9.
[0122] In the present embodiment, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, a width of the support main body 121 and a width of the bent portion 122 are different, and thus, the mechanism support 120 has two different widths. The specific width of the support main body 121 and the specific width of the bent portion 122 may be set by those skilled in the art according to the specific components of the isolating switch 800 used for being connected to the mechanism support 120, which are not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
[0123] In summary, the action mechanism provided by the present disclosure includes the action assembly, and the action assembly includes the mechanism support 120 and the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 which are in transmission connection; the mechanism support 120 is driven to rotate and can drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move, such that the contact mechanisms 700 in the switch bodies 300 of the isolating switch 800 are opened or closed; along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the orthographic projection of the action assembly on the switch bodies 300 partially overlaps the switch bodies 300; the mechanism support 120 includes the support main body 121 and the bent portion 122 connected to the support main body 121, and the width of the support main body 121 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120 is different from the width of the bent portion 122 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120. According to the action mechanism provided by the present disclosure, the action assembly included in the action mechanism is configured in a way that the orthographic projection of the action assembly on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, such that it is equivalent to that at least a part of region of the action assembly extends into the switch body 300 of the isolating switch 800, and thus, the overall size of the isolating switch 800 along the height direction thereof can be reduced, the miniaturization of the isolating switch 800 can be achieved, the application scenes of the isolating switch 800 can be widened, and the applicability of a plurality of application scenes of the isolating switch 800 is improved.
[0124] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 10 in combination, optionally, the mechanism support 120 includes two mounting plates 123 disposed symmetrically and a connecting plate 124 connecting the two mounting plates 123, and each mounting plate 123 includes a first vertical plate 1231, a second vertical plate 1232, and a linkage plate 1233 connected between the first vertical plate 1231 and the second vertical plate 1232; the two linkage plates 1233 and the two second vertical plates 1232 form the bent portion 122, and the bent portion 122 is located inside the switch body 300; the two first vertical plates 1231 and the connecting plate 124 form the support main body 121.
[0125] It should be noted that, firstly, the above-mentioned symmetrical arrangement does not mean that the two mounting plates 123 are absolutely symmetrical, but that slight differences may be made in the specific detailed structure. That is, the symmetrical arrangement is meant to be substantially symmetrical but allows for minor differences (for example, one mounting plate 123 is provided with a small lug and the other mounting plate 123 is not provided with a small lug).
[0126] Secondly, the mechanism support 120 includes the two mounting plates 123 disposed symmetrically and the connecting plate 124 connected between the two mounting plates 123, as shown in FIG. 5. Exemplarily, each mounting plate 123 includes the first vertical plate 1231, the second vertical plate 1232, and the linkage plate 1233, where one end of the linkage plate 1233 is connected to the first vertical plate 1231, and the other end is connected to the second vertical plate 1232.
[0127] The two linkage plates 1233 and the two second vertical plates 1232 form the bent portion, and the bent portion is located inside the switch body 300 (that is, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, an orthographic projection of the bent portion on the switch body 300 partially overlaps the switch body 300). The two first vertical plates 1231 and the connecting plate 124 form the support main body 121.
[0128] Optionally, in the present embodiment, a distance between the two first vertical plates 1231 is greater than a distance between the two second vertical plates 1232. In this way, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the width of the support main body 121 is different from the width of the bent portion 122, and the width of the support main body 121 is greater than the width of the bent portion, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10. In the present disclosure, the width of the bent portion 122 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120 is set to be less than the width of the support main body 121 along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, such that the bent portion extending into the switch body 300 can occupy the space inside the switch body 300 as little as possible.
[0129] In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, the second vertical plates 1232 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 1232a, and the arc-shaped grooves 1232a are configured to limit a rotation angle of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110. The rotation angle of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 can be limited through the arrangement of the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, where the size and the radian of the arc-shaped grooves 1232a are not limited in the present disclosure and can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the requirement.
[0130] It should be noted that, for example, the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 may be embedded in the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, such that when the mechanism support 120 rotates, the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is driven to rotate through the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, thereby achieving opening or closing. For another example, an intermediate member may be embedded in the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, and the intermediate member is in transmission connection to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, such that when the mechanism support 120 rotates, the intermediate member is driven to rotate through the arc-shaped grooves 1232a, and thus, the intermediate member drives the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move, and opening or closing of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 may also be achieved.
[0131] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3 in combination, when the arc-shaped grooves 1232a drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move through the intermediate member, it may be that: a first connecting bar 111 (i.e. the above-mentioned intermediate member) is disposed between the two second vertical plates 1232, and a rotation center of the first connecting bar 111 is disposed on a rotation shaft of the two second vertical plates 1232; one end of the first connecting bar 111 is in transmission connection to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, the other end of the first connecting bar is provided with a pin shaft 1111, and one end of the pin shaft 1111 extends into the arc-shaped grooves 1232a.
[0132] That is, the first connecting bar 111 sleeves the rotation shaft of the two second vertical plates 1232 (the rotation shaft of the two second vertical plates 1232 rotates to drive the mechanism support 120 to rotate), and the first connecting bar 111 can rotate on the rotation shaft of the two second vertical plates 1232.
[0133] In addition, one end of the first connecting bar 111 is in transmission connection to the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, and the other end is provided with the pin shaft 1111, and one end of the pin shaft 1111 away from the first connecting bar 111 extends into the arc-shaped grooves 1232a. In this way, when the mechanism support 120 is driven to rotate, the mechanism support 120 can drive the pin shaft 1111 in the arc-shaped grooves 1232a to move, such that the pin shaft 1111 drives the first connecting bar 111 to rotate, and then the first connecting bar 111 drives the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to move to be opened or closed, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 12.
[0134] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, optionally, the action mechanism further includes an energy storage member 125, the energy storage member 125 is disposed between the first connecting bar 111 and the second vertical plates 1232, and the energy storage member 125 is capable of storing energy when the mechanism support 120 drives the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to be closed and releasing energy when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 is opened.
[0135] That is, in the process that the mechanism support 120 rotates to drive the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to be closed, the energy storage member 125 can store energy; when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 rotates to a closed position, the energy storage member 125 completes energy storage; when the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 needs to be opened, an energy storage mechanism can release energy to enable the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to be opened quickly. Therefore, the breaking speed of the isolating switch 800 can be improved, and the breaking performance of the isolating switch 800 is improved.
[0136] Exemplarily, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, the above-mentioned energy storage member 125 is an energy storage spring, and a fixed end of the energy storage spring is connected to the second vertical plates 1232, and an energy storage end of the energy storage spring is connected to the first connecting bar 111. Therefore, when opening is needed, the energy storage spring can quickly drive the first connecting bar 111 to rotate, such that the first connecting bar 111 drives the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to be opened quickly.
[0137] In the present embodiment, the energy storage spring is specifically double torsional springs disposed symmetrically (as shown in FIG. 5), two opposite ends (i.e. the above-mentioned fixed end) of the double torsional springs are respectively fixed on the two second vertical plates 1232, and middle ends (i.e. the above-mentioned energy storage end) of the double torsional springs are abutted with the first connecting bar 111.
[0138] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, in order to make the transmission of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 more stable, in the present embodiment, one ends of the two second vertical plates 1232 away from the first vertical plates 1231 extend toward a direction away from the first vertical plates 1231 to form extension plates 1234; along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, orthographic projections of the extension plates 1234 on the switch body 300 at least cover a part of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110.
[0139] That is, the extension plates 1234 are formed by one ends of the second vertical plates 1232 away from the first vertical plates 1231 extending toward the direction the direction away from the first vertical plates 1231, and in the present embodiment, each second vertical plate 1232 and the corresponding extension plate 1234 are an integrated part. The second vertical plates 1232 extend downward in the present disclosure in order to make the orthographic projections of the extension plates 1234 on the switch body 300 at least partially cover a part of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 in the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, such that the two extension plates 1234 symmetrically disposed can limit the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 therebetween, so as to limit the axial movement of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110 to a certain extent, thereby improving the transmission stability of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110.
[0140] It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 8 in combination, along the rotation axis direction of the mechanism support 120, the orthographic projections of the mounting plates 123 (including the first vertical plates 1231, the linkage plates 1233, the second vertical plates 1232, and the extension plates 1234) on the switch body 300 may cover a part of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, or may also cover all of the first four-bar linkage mechanism 110, which is not limited in the present disclosure, and can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual structure.

The switching mechanism has a simple structure, and can switch the operation mode of the operating mechanism 200 of the molded case circuit breaker, such that the operating mechanism 200 of the molded case circuit breaker can be applied to the isolating switch 800.

According to the present disclosure, the switching mechanism is provided, and the corresponding first matching portion 421 is disposed on the rotation disc 420 of the switching mechanism, such that when the handle rotating shaft 410 is driven to rotate at an angle equal to or greater than 90°, the handle rotating shaft 410 drives the rotation disc 420 to rotate, the first matching portion 421 on the rotation disc 420 can drive the levers 220 to swing at an acute angle, and thus, the operating mechanism 200 is opened or closed. According to the present disclosure, the operating mechanism 200 of the isolating switch 800 and the handle 600 of the isolating switch 800 are connected through the switching mechanism, and the butt joint adaptation of the rotating mode of the operating mechanism 200 and the rotating mode of the handle 600 can be achieved, such that the operating mechanism 200 can be stably and reliably applied to the isolating switch 800, the switching mechanism has a simple structure, and a switching mode for switching the operating mode of the operating mechanism 200 of the molded case circuit breaker is simple.
[0160] Referring to FIGS. 12, 13 and 18, optionally, the switching mechanism further includes a sliding plate 430 between the rotation disc 420 and the levers 220; the sliding plate 430 is slidably configured on a housing 500 of the isolating switch 800 and is respectively in transmission connection to the first matching portion 421 and the levers 220; a sliding direction of the sliding plate 430 is perpendicular to an axis of the handle rotating shaft 410; the rotation disc 420 rotates to drive the sliding plate 430 to slide on the housing 500, and the levers 220 can be driven to swing.
[0161] The above-mentioned sliding plate 430 is disposed between the rotation disc 420 and the levers 220, one side of the sliding plate 430 is in transmission connection to the rotation disc 420, and the other side is in transmission connection to the levers 220. Thus, the rotation of the rotation disc 420 can be transmitted to the levers 220 through the sliding plate 430 to swing the levers 220.
[0162] In the present embodiment, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 430 is parallel to a plane where the rotation disc 420 is located and perpendicular to the axis of the handle rotating shaft 410. That is, the rotation disc 420 rotates, the first matching portion 421 can drive the sliding plate 430 to move linearly on the housing 500, and the linear movement of the sliding plate 430 can drive the levers 220 to swing.
[0163] In the present embodiment, a swing plane of the levers 220 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding plate 430.
[0164] The rotation disc 420 is driven to rotate with the handle rotating shaft 410 as a center on a first plane, the sliding plate 430 is driven to move linearly along a first direction, and a linear movement of the sliding plate 430 drives the levers 220 to swing on a second plane; the first plane is the plane where the rotation disc 420 is located, and the second plane is perpendicular to the first plane; the first direction is parallel to the first plane and perpendicular to the second plane.
[0165] Corresponding to FIGS. 6 and 12, the above-mentioned first direction is a horizontal direction, the first plane is a horizontal plane, and the second plane is a vertical plane.
[0166] In the present embodiment, a sliding distance of the sliding plate 430 in the first direction is equal to a first distance of the levers 220; the first distance is a movement distance of an end of the levers 220 connected to the sliding plate 430 along the first direction.
[0167] To more clearly understand the feature that the sliding distance of the sliding plate 430 in the first direction is equal to the first distance of the levers 220, referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, when the sliding plate 430 slides from a first position to a second position, a rotation angle of the levers 220 is θ 3 , the movement distance of the end of the levers 220 connected to the sliding plate 430 along the first direction is L 1 , a rotation angle of the first matching portion 421 is θ 4 , and a movement distance of the first matching portion 421 along the first direction is L 2 ; the first position and the second position are an open position and a closed position, respectively, L 1 = L 2 , and the first direction is the sliding direction of the sliding plate 430.
[0168] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first position may be an open position, and the second position is a closed position; or, the above-mentioned first position is a closed position, and the second position is an open position.

[0170] Since the movement distance of the end of the levers 220 connected to the sliding plate 430 along the first direction and the movement distance of the first matching portion 421 along the first direction are both the same as the sliding distance of the sliding plate 430, L 1 = L 2 . Thus, according to the above-mentioned relationship, it is possible to switch between the rotation angle of the levers 220 of the operating mechanism 200 and the rotation angle (i.e., the rotation angle of the handle 600 of the isolating switch 800) of the handle rotating shaft 410.
[0171] In the present embodiment, the sliding plate 430 is a switching medium, θ 4 = 90° in the isolating switch 800, the rotation angle θ 3 < 90° (about 40°) of the levers 220 in the operating mechanism 200, and different angles and spatial positions can be switched.

[0180] Secondly, the connecting shaft 234 may be a whole shaft penetrating through the levers 220 as shown in FIG. 18, or may be protrusions protruding from the sides of the levers 220 as shown in FIG. 17.
[0181] Thirdly, according to the present disclosure, the second matching portions 4221 are provided as the kidney-shaped grooves or the U-shaped grooves in order to prevent the linear movement of the sliding plate 430 and the swing of the levers 220 from being affected.

[0219] As shown in FIGS. 26, 27, and 29, the driving member 2333 is in abutting contact with the connecting bar mechanism 230 to drive the connecting bar mechanism 230 to move through the driving member 2333, such that the connecting bar mechanism 230 is unlocked, and then the isolating switch 800 is opened.

[0220] As shown in FIG. 28, the release 2331 includes the fixed portion 2336 and the slidable striking member 2332, when the release 2331 receives the breaking signal sent by the controller, the striking member 2332 can slide out relative to the fixed portion 2336; moreover, during the sliding out of the striking member 2332, the striking member 2332 can drive the driving member 2333 to slide relative to the housing 500, such that the connecting shaft 234 of the connecting bar mechanism 230 is driven through the abutting arm 2337 of the driving member 2333 to rotate relative to the housing 500 to achieve unlocking, thereby achieving the opening operation of the isolating switch 800.
[0221] It is worth noting that, regarding the specific principle and operation process of the connecting shaft 234 of the connecting bar mechanism 230 rotating relative to the housing 500 to achieve unlocking, those skilled in the art should be able to understand with reference to the release process of the connecting bar mechanism 230 of the molded case circuit breaker in the prior art, which will not be described in detail herein.
[0222] As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the release 2331 and the driving member 2333 are disposed at one side of the connecting bar mechanism 230, such that on the one hand, the miniaturization of the operating mechanism 200 is convenient to achieve, and on the other hand, the knockout direction of the striking member 2332 is conveniently made to be the same as the unlocking direction of the connecting bar mechanism 230, thereby contributing to improvement of stability of the release 2331, and thus ensuring that the isolating switch 800 can be released in case of a fault and prevented from being released in case of no fault.
[0223] As described above, the remote release mechanism includes the release 2331 and the driving member 2333 which are disposed inside the housing 500 of the operating mechanism 200 of the isolating switch 800 and mounted on one side of the connecting bar mechanism 230 of the operating mechanism 200, the driving member 2333 is in abutting contact with the connecting bar mechanism 230, the release 2331 includes the fixed portion 2336 and the slidable striking member 2332, and when the release 2331 receives the breaking signal sent by the controller, the striking member 2332 slides out relative to the fixed portion 2336 and drives the connecting bar mechanism 230 to be unlocked and opened through the driving member 2333. Compared with the prior art, the remote release mechanism provided by the present disclosure does not add new parts, and the mounting position and the operation mode of the release 2331 are reasonably set on the basis of existing parts, such that the isolating switch 800 can achieve the remote release function, the miniaturization of the isolating switch 800 can be achieved, the stability of the release 2331 can be improved, and it is ensured that the isolating switch 800 is released in case of a fault and prevented from being released in case of no fault.
[0224] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 29, the striking member 2332 is connected to the driving member 2333, such that the striking member 2332 can drive the driving member 2333 to slide synchronously. Exemplarily, in the present embodiment, the striking member 2332 is fixedly connected to the driving member 2333, such that in the actual assembling process, the release 2331 and the driving member 2333 can be assembled first, and then the whole formed by the release 2331 and the driving member 2333 is assembled in the housing 500, thereby simplifying the mounting process. Of course, in other embodiments, the striking member 2332 and the driving member 2333 may be directly formed by an integral molding process, so as to further simplify the mounting steps of the remote release mechanism.
[0225] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 29, in the present embodiment, the release 2331 is a magnetic flux release, the magnetic flux release is electrically connected to the controller, and the magnetic flux release is configured to receive the breaking signal sent by the controller. Of course, in other embodiments, the release 2331 may also be a shunt release, and those skilled in the art should be able to make a reasonable choice and design according to the actual situations, which will not be particularly limited.
[0226] As shown in FIGS. 25, 26, 29, and 30, the remote release mechanism further includes a sliding plate 430 slidably connected in the housing 500, a pushing portion 433 is disposed on the sliding plate 430, the pushing portion 433 is disposed on one side of the striking member 2332 back away from the fixed portion 2336, and the pushing portion 433 is configured to push the striking member 2332 to reset.
[0227] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the isolating switch 800 can be released at the next fault, after the release function of the release 2331 is achieved, the release 2331 is reset, that is, the striking member 2332 slides to retract relative to the fixed portion 2336. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 29, in the present embodiment, the remote release mechanism further includes the sliding plate 430, the sliding plate 430 can slide relative to the housing 500, the sliding plate 430 is provided with the pushing portion 433, the pushing portion 433 is disposed on a side of the striking member 2332 back away from the fixed portion 2336, after the striking member 2332 slides out towards the side back away from the fixed portion 2336, the sliding plate 430 slides relative to the housing 500, and the striking member 2332 can be pushed through the pushing portion 433 to slide and reset towards a side close to the fixed portion 2336.
[0228] As shown in FIG. 29, the sliding plate 430 has two operating states to correspond to the opening and closing of the body, respectively. When the striking member 2332 is in the knockout state, the sliding plate 430 slides relative to the housing 500 to switch the sliding plate 430 from a first state to a second state, when the sliding plate 430 starts to move, the pushing portion 433 of the sliding plate 430 is not yet in contact with the striking member 2332, and as the sliding plate 430 continues to move until the sliding plate 430 moves by the movement distance L 3 , the pushing portion 433 of the sliding plate 430 can be in contact with the striking member 2332, such that the striking member 2332 is driven through the pushing portion 433 to slide and reset towards the side close to the fixed portion 2336. When the striking member 2332 is in the reset state, the sliding plate 430 slides relative to the housing 500 so as to switch the sliding plate 430 from the first state to the second state, and at this time, the pushing portion 433 of the sliding plate 430 is not in contact with the striking member 2332 until the sliding plate 430 moves by the maximum stroke, so as to prevent the release 2331 from affecting the movement of the sliding plate 430.
[0229] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, the pushing portion 433 is located on a left side of the striking member 2332. Therefore, in the above process, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 430 is the same as the knockout direction of the striking member 2332, and the contact surface of the pushing portion 433 in contact with the striking member 2332 is perpendicular to the knockout axis of the striking member 2332, such that the pushing force direction of the pushing portion 433 acting on the striking member 2332 is the same as the sliding direction of the striking member 2332 (preferably, both are on the same axis), and moreover, the contact area of the pushing portion 433 and the striking member 2332 can be increased, which is conducive to improving the stability and prolonging the service life of the release 2331.
[0230] Of course, in other embodiments, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 430 may be opposite to the knockout direction of the striking member 2332, and the pushing portion 433 can push the striking member 2332 to reset in the above process, which only needs to mount the release 2331 and the driving member 2333 shown in FIG. 25 in a reversed manner (i.e., horizontally turned by 180°), and adjust the actual position of the pushing portion 433 until the pushing portion 433 is located on a right side of the striking member 2332.
[0231] As shown in FIGS. 25, 26, 29, and 30, the remote release mechanism further includes a guide rod 440 fixedly connected in the housing 500, the sliding plate 430 is provided with a guide hole 432, the sliding plate 430 is disposed on the guide rod 440 through the guide hole 432 in a penetrating manner, such that the sliding plate 430 is slidably connected to the guide rod 440, the sliding plate 430 can slide relative to the housing 500, and the guide rod 440 can also play a role in guiding and limiting the sliding of the sliding plate 430. Exemplarily, a quantity of guide rods 440 is two, and the two guide rods 440 are parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other, such that the sliding plate 430 can slide more stably.
[0232] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, the present disclosure can be modified and varied. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
