[0064] The following embodiments are combined with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the specific implementation of the switch device of the present invention. The switch device of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.
[0065] The switching device of the present invention includes a contact system, which includes a main contact structure m and at least one group of movable contact structures s. The main contact structure m and the movable contact structure s are closed and disconnected to conduct and disconnect the circuit in which the switching device is located. Furthermore, the switching device also includes an operating mechanism, which is transmission-connected to the main contact structure m to drive the main contact structure m and the movable contact structure s to close and disconnect. Furthermore, the switching device also includes a housing 1 for accommodating the contact system. Furthermore, when the switching device of the present invention is a rotary disconnector, the housing 1 is the housing of the switch unit of the rotary disconnector; or, when the switching device of the present invention is a circuit breaker, the housing 1 is the circuit breaker housing; or, when the switching device of the present invention is a transfer switch, the housing 1 is the transfer switch housing.
[0066] As shown in Figures 1-3, 7, and 11-14, the main contact structure m includes a main contact 2, which includes at least one main contact portion 2-0. The movable contact structure s includes a movable contact 4, which includes a movable contact portion 4-1. When the main contact 2 is in the closed position, the main contact portion 2-0 is combined with the movable contact portion 4-1 to close the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4. Furthermore, the movable contact structure s also includes an elastic member 6 that cooperates with the movable contact 4. During the disconnection process between the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4, the main contact portion 2-0 drives the movable contact portion 4-1 to move from the initial position to the disengaged position. At the same time, the movable contact 4 stores energy in the elastic member 6. When the main contact 2 continues to move, the movable contact portion 4-1 disengages from the main contact portion 2-0 and the elastic member 6 releases energy to drive the movable contact portion 4-1 to return to the initial position. That is, the main contact 2 moves from the closed position to the disengaged position. During the disconnect position action, the main contact part 2-0 moves from the closed position to the middle position and drives the movable contact part 4-1 to move from the initial position to the disengaged position. At the same time, the movable contact 4 causes the elastic member 6 to store energy. When the movable contact part 4-1 is in the disengaged position, the elastic member 6 stores energy to the maximum. The main contact 2 continues to move toward the disconnect position, then the movable contact part 4-1 disengages from the main contact part 2-0 and the elastic member 6 releases energy and drives the movable contact part 4-1 to reset to the initial position. At the same time, the main contact 2 continues to move to the disconnect position. In the contact system, after the main contact portion 2-0 drives the movable contact portion 4-1 to move to the disengaged position, the main contact 2 continues to move, and the elastic member 6 drives the movable contact portion 4-1 to quickly reset to the initial position. At this time, the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1 generally move in opposite directions, so that the distance between the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1 is rapidly enlarged, which can quickly lengthen the arc generated by the disconnection of the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4, and can significantly improve the arc extinguishing ability and disconnecting ability of the contact system, thereby achieving rapid disconnection. It should be pointed out that in the process of the main contact portion 2-0 driving the movable contact portion 4-1 to move from the initial position to the disengaged position, the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1 do not remain relatively stationary, and the two undergo relative movement and / or relative rotation until the main contact portion 2-0 can no longer drive the movable contact portion 4-1 to continue to move, and the elastic member 6 further stores energy. When the main contacts 2 and movable contact 4 are in the closed state, or when they are disconnected and the movable contact 4 is at rest, the position of the movable contact portion 4-1 is the initial position. The position to which the movable contact portion 4-1, driven by the main contact portion 2-0, can move, which is farthest from the initial position, is the disengaged position. When the movable contact portion 4-1 moves to the disengaged position, the movable contact 4 causes the elastic member 6 to store energy to its maximum value. The position in which the main contacts 2 and movable contact 4 are in the closed state is the closed position. The final position in which the main contacts 2 and movable contact 4 remain at rest after disconnection is the disconnected position. The intermediate position is the position that the main contact 2 passes through during its movement from the closed position to the disconnected position.
[0067] As shown in Figures 1-3, 7, and 10-13, the contact system further includes a wiring terminal 8, which is matched with the movable contact 4 in a one-to-one manner. The movable contact 4 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 8 through a flexible connection 7.
[0068] As another embodiment, the movable contact 4 is electrically connected to the terminal 8 through a hard connection.
[0069] Specifically, in the contact system, the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4 have at least the following three configurations:
[0070] Mode A: The contact system is provided with a group of main contact structures m and a group of movable contact structures s. The main contact 2 of the main contact structure m is provided with a main contact portion 2-0, and the movable contact 4 of the movable contact structure s is provided with a movable contact portion 4-1. The main contact 2 is actuated to switch between the closed position and the disconnected position, so that the main contact portion 2-0 is engaged with and disengaged from the movable contact portion 4-1.
[0071] Mode B: The contact system is provided with a group of movable contact structures and two groups of movable contact structures s. The main contact 2 of the main contact structure m is provided with two main contact parts 2-0. The movable contacts 4 of the two groups of movable contact structures s are each provided with a movable contact part 4-1. The main contact 2 is actuated to switch between the closed position and the disconnected position, so that the two main contact parts 2-0 are respectively engaged with and disengaged from the two movable contact parts 4-1. When the two main contact parts 2-0 are respectively engaged with the two movable contact parts 4-1, the three are in a series state.
[0072] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2, 7, and 10-13, the main contact 2 includes two main contact portions 2-0 disposed at its ends. The contact system includes two sets of movable contact structures s, each disposed on either side of the main contact structure m. The two sets of main contact portions 2-0 are respectively configured to close and disconnect with the movable contact portions 4-1 of the two sets of movable contacts 4. The contact system utilizes a dual-breakpoint structure, which further improves its breaking and arc-extinguishing capabilities. Furthermore, the two sets of movable contacts 4 are electrically connected to two sets of terminal blocks 8 via two flexible connectors 7.
[0073] Method C: The contact system is provided with a group of movable contact structures and two groups of movable contact structures s. The main contact 2 of the main contact structure m is provided with a main contact portion 2-0, and the movable contacts 4 of the two groups of movable contact structures s are each provided with a movable contact portion 4-1. The main contact portion 2-0 moves and switches between two working positions to respectively combine with and separate from the two movable contact portions 4-1, that is: when the main contact portion 2-0 is combined with one movable contact portion 4-1, it is disengaged from the other movable contact portion 4-1.
[0074] Contact systems of types A and B are preferably used in rotary disconnectors, circuit breakers, etc.
[0075] The contact system of type C is preferably used in a changeover switch.
[0076] Furthermore, the main contact structure m is pivotally arranged or integrally movable.
[0077] Furthermore, the movable contact 4 is pivotally arranged or integrally movable.
[0078] Specifically, the movement modes of the main contact structure m and the movable contact structure s have the following four settings:
[0079] Mode 1: The main contact structure m is pivotally arranged, and the movable contact 4 is pivotally arranged. The main contact structure m rotates to engage and disengage the main contact portion 2-0 with the movable contact portion 4-1, that is, the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4 are closed and disconnected; when the main contact structure m rotates from the closed position to the disconnected position, the main contact structure m rotates from the closed position to the intermediate position and the main contact portion 2-0 drives the movable contact portion 4-1 to rotate around the rotation center of the movable contact 4, so that the entire movable contact The head 4 rotates, causing the movable contact part 4-1 to rotate from the initial position to the disengaged position. At the same time, the movable contact 4 causes the elastic member 6 to store energy. When the movable contact part 4-1 rotates to the disengaged position, the elastic member 6 stores energy to the maximum. After the main contact part 2-0 is disengaged from the movable contact part 4-1, the elastic member 6 releases energy to drive the movable contact part 4-1 to rotate from the disengaged position to the initial position. At the same time, the main contact structure m continues to rotate to the disconnecting position, and the movable contact part 4-1 rotates in the opposite direction to the main contact part 2-0.
[0080] The following is an embodiment of method 1:
[0081] As shown in Figures 1-3 and 7, the main contact structure m is pivotally arranged, and the movable contact 4 of the movable contact structure s is pivotally arranged. The main contact structure m rotates to engage and disengage the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1, that is, to close and disconnect the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4.
[0082] As shown in Figures 1-3 and 7, the movable contact 4 is pivotally arranged in the middle, with a movable contact portion 4-1 provided at one end and the other end cooperating with an elastic member 6. Furthermore, the elastic member 6 is a compression spring, and the elastic member 6 and the main contact portion 2-0 are respectively located on both sides of the movable contact 4.
[0083] As shown in Figures 1-3 and 7, the movable contact 4 also includes a movable contact limiting protrusion 4-3. The movable contact portion 4-1 and the movable contact limiting protrusion 4-3 are respectively located at both ends of the movable contact 4. The elastic member 6 is a compression spring, one end of which is sleeved on the movable contact limiting protrusion 4-3, and the other end is arranged on the shell 1.
[0084] As shown in Figures 1-3 and 7, the movable contact structure s further includes a fixed movable contact shaft 5, through which the movable contact 4 is pivotally arranged. Furthermore, the movable contact shaft 5 is fixedly arranged on the housing 1, and the movable contact 4 is provided with a movable contact shaft hole 4-2 for the movable contact shaft 5 to pass through.
[0085] As shown in Figures 1-3 and 7, the elastic member 6 is a compression spring. The elastic member 6 acts on the movable contact 4 to cause one end of the movable contact portion 4-1 to abut against the positioning stop 1-0, that is, to maintain the movable contact portion 4-1 in its initial position. The positioning stop 1-0 and the elastic member 6 are located on the same side of the movable contact 4. Furthermore, the positioning stop 1-0 is a retaining rib provided on the housing 1.
[0086] As another embodiment, the elastic member 6 is a tension spring, and the positioning stop 1-0 and the elastic member 6 are located on both sides of the movable contact 4. It should be noted that the location of the elastic member 6 can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and the possible locations of the elastic member 6 are not listed here one by one.
[0087] In another embodiment, the positioning stop 1-0 is eliminated, and instead, a shaft limiting surface is provided on the movable contact shaft 5, and a hole limiting surface is provided within the movable contact shaft hole 4-2 of the movable contact 4. The elastic member 6 acts on the movable contact 4 to cause the hole limiting surface to cooperate with the shaft limiting surface, thereby positioning the movable contact 4 in the initial position. The hole limiting surface and the shaft limiting surface can both be implemented using existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Of course, there are many other ways to position the movable contact 4 in the initial position under the action of the elastic member 6, which will not be described in detail here, but all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0088] Specifically, as shown in Figures 13 and 7, the main contact 2 includes two main contact portions 2-0 respectively arranged at its two ends, and two groups of movable contacts 4 are respectively pivotally arranged on both radial sides of the main contact structure m. The main contact structure m rotates and switches between the closed position and the disconnected position, so that the two main contact portions 2-0 are combined with and disengaged from the movable contact portions 4-1 of the two movable contacts 4. The two groups of movable contact structures s are mutually symmetrical structures with the rotation center of the main contact structure m as the center of symmetry. The two groups of movable contact structures s adopt a centrally symmetrical structure, which is conducive to reducing the number of structural types and reducing production costs. In addition, there is no need to identify the two groups of movable contact structures s during the installation process, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the two groups of terminal blocks 8 are mutually symmetrical structures with the rotation center of the main contact structure m as the center of symmetry.
[0089] Method 2: The main contact structure m is pivotally arranged, and the movable contact 4 is arranged to move as a whole on a preset plane. The main contact structure m rotates to make the main contact part 2-0 engage and disengage with the movable contact part 4-1, that is, the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4 are closed and disconnected; when the main contact structure m rotates from the closed position to the disconnected position, the main contact part 2-0 rotates from the closed position to the intermediate position and moves the movable contact 4 as a whole through the movable contact part 4-1 so that the movable contact 4 moves from the initial position 1 to the disengaged position. At this time, the elastic member 6 stores energy to the maximum value. After the main contact part 2-0 disengages from the movable contact part 4-1, the elastic member 6 releases energy to drive the movable contact part 4-1 back to the initial position, and at the same time, the main contact structure m continues to rotate to the disconnected position.
[0090] The following is an embodiment of method 2:
[0091] As shown in Figures 10-13, the main contact structure m is pivotally arranged, and the movable contact 4 is arranged to move as a whole on a preset plane. The main contact structure m rotates to make the main contact part 2-0 engage and disengage with the movable contact part 4-1, that is, to close and disconnect the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4.
[0092] As shown in Figures 10-13, the movable contact 4 is integrally movable along the extension direction of the fixed guide rail structure g. Further, the guide rail structure g is preferably a linear guide rail structure, preferably arranged on the housing 1. Of course, the guide rail structure can also be an arc-shaped guide rail structure.
[0093] As shown in Figures 10-13, the elastic member 6 is a tension spring. The elastic member 6 and the main contact portion 2-0 are located on either side of the movable contact 4. Furthermore, the movable contact 4 includes a movable contact spring portion 4-5. One end of the elastic member 6 is suspended from the movable contact spring portion 4-5, while the other end is fixedly mounted. Furthermore, the fixed end of the elastic member 6 is secured to the housing 1 via a spring fixing shaft 9. Furthermore, the geometric axis of the elastic member 6 coincides with the extension path of the guide rail structure g.
[0094] As shown in Figures 10-13, the guide rail structure g includes a guide rail wall 1-2 and a guide rail groove 1-1 formed between two oppositely arranged guide rail walls 1-2; the movable contact 4 also includes a guide plate 4-4, and the movable contact shaft 5 is slidably inserted in the guide rail groove 1-1.

A socket c is formed in the middle of the U-shaped structure, into which the plug-in plate is inserted. Furthermore, the movable contact 4 is formed from a bent metal sheet, forming the U-shaped cross-section of the movable contact portion 4-1.
[0105] As shown in Figures 7-9, a second configuration of the plug-in structure is shown: the main contact portion 2-0 includes two opposing main contact blades 2-1, forming a socket c between the two main contact blades 2-1.

Main contact blades 2-1 are provided at both ends of each of the three main contact plates, and the main contact blade 2-1 of the second main contact plate 2c serves as a movable plug plate.
[0109] It should be noted that the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1 are not limited to plug-in mating to achieve the combination of the two. For example, the main contact portion 2-0 and the movable contact portion 4-1 can also be mated through a snap-fit structure, which includes a first structure and a second structure for use in conjunction with each other. The snap-fitting first and second structures release the snap-fitting when pulled by a predetermined external force. For example, the first and second structures are two semi-arrow-shaped hooks for use in conjunction with each other; or, the first structure is two elastic clamping arms provided on the movable contact portion 4-1, each elastic clamping arm being a >-shaped structure, with the tips of the >-shaped structures of the two elastic clamping arms facing each other; the second structure is two protrusions provided on the main contact portion 2-0. When the main contact 2 and the movable contact 4 are closed, the two protrusions enter between the two elastic clamping arms from between their free ends, squeeze through between the tips of the >-shaped structures of the two elastic clamping arms, and enter between the other ends of the two elastic clamping arms.

[0111] In the rotating contact structure of this embodiment, the rotating shaft 3 includes a rotating shaft seat 31 and a rotating shaft cover 33 that are relatively assembled along its axial direction. The rotating contact is clamped between the rotating shaft seat 31 and the rotating shaft cover 33 and includes at least one rotating contact portion protruding from one radial side of the rotating shaft 3 for cooperating with the movable contact 4. Furthermore, the rotating contact includes two rotating contact portions respectively arranged at its two ends, the two rotating contact portions being a first rotating contact portion and a second rotating contact portion, respectively. The two rotating contact portions are used to close and disconnect with two movable contacts 4 arranged on both radial sides of the rotating contact structure, respectively. The two movable contacts 4 are a first movable contact for closing and disconnecting with the first rotating contact portion and a second movable contact for closing and disconnecting with the second rotating contact portion. The rotating contact structure and the two movable contacts 4 form a contact system with dual breakpoints, which is conducive to improving the breaking capacity of the contact system and the switching electrical appliance.
[0112] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 3 includes a plug portion 3p disposed at one radial end thereof. The plug portion 3p is configured to be pluggably connected to an external structure.

The main plug 33-2 is disposed on the side of the rotating shaft cover 33 facing away from the rotating shaft seat 31, and the secondary plug 31-1 is disposed on the side of the rotating shaft seat 31 facing the rotating shaft cover 33. The secondary plug 31-1 passes through the rotating shaft cover hole 33-1 of the rotating shaft cover 33 and is arranged side by side with the main plug 33-2 to form the plug portion 3p. The "external structure" may be the output shaft of the operating mechanism; alternatively, the "external structure" may refer to a plurality of rotating contact structures arranged in parallel and linked along their axial direction. The plug portion 3p of one rotating shaft 3 is pluggably connected to an adjacent rotating shaft 3, thereby achieving linkage of the rotating contact structures, that is, achieving synchronized closing and opening of the contact systems. The plug portion 3p is composed of a main plug 33-2 disposed on the shaft cover 33 and a secondary plug 31-1 disposed on the shaft seat 31. This improves the structural strength of the plug portion 3p, ensures its reliability in plugging and connecting with external structures, ensures the synchronous operation of the shaft cover 33 and the shaft seat 31 during the rotation of the shaft 3, and ensures the synchronous rotation of each rotating contact structure when adjacent shafts 3 are plugged and connected. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the shaft 3 passes through the middle of the main plug 33-2, and the secondary plug 31-1 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the shaft 3 and spaced apart. Furthermore, the secondary plug 31-1 is spaced apart from the main plug 33-2, that is, there is a gap between the secondary contact 31-1 and the main plug 33-2, and the width of the gap can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0113] Furthermore, the cross-section of the main plug 33-2 is an elongated strip, the center of which is preferably located on the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 3. The length of the elongated strip is 20%-70% of the maximum outer diameter of the rotating shaft seat 31. Furthermore, the length of the elongated strip is 25%-65% of the maximum outer diameter of the rotating shaft seat 31. This ensures the structural strength of the main plug 33-2 and facilitates the structural design of the rotating shaft cover 33.

The socket portion 3g is compatible with the plug portion 3p, that is, the shape of the socket portion 3g matches the shape of the plug portion 3p. When the two are located on two different structures (e.g., two rotating shafts 3), they can plug and mate with each other. When multiple rotating contact structures are arranged side by side along their axial direction, the plug portion 3p of one rotating shaft 3 plugs and mates with the socket portion 3g of the other rotating shaft 3, simplifying the connection structure and operation of each rotating contact structure and ensuring the connection strength and consistency of operation of each rotating shaft 3. Furthermore, the socket portion 3g includes a main socket 31-5 and a secondary socket 31-6.

The shaft cover 33 is provided with a shaft cover hole 33-1 for the auxiliary plug 31-1 to pass through. The shaft cover hole 33-1 is located between the two groups of main plugs 33-2.

[0118] Furthermore, the cross-section of the secondary plug 31-1 is fan-shaped. A pair of opposing side surfaces of the main plug 33-2 (i.e., the two large side surfaces of the main plug 33-2, which face either side of the two secondary plugs 31-1) are each provided with a plurality of grooves extending axially along the shaft 3. This gives the main plug 33-2 a fishbone-like cross-section, ensuring the linkage and synchronization of the two shafts 3 when the plug portion 3p and the socket portion 3g of the two adjacent shafts 3 mate. The cross-section of the secondary socket 31-6 is fan-shaped. Furthermore, the sides of the main socket 31-5 facing the two secondary sockets 31-6 are provided with a plurality of ribs (not shown) extending axially along the shaft 3, which mate with the grooves.
[0119] Furthermore, the shaft cover 33 further includes a cover plate 33-0. The main plug 33-2 is disposed on the side of the cover plate 33-0 facing away from the shaft seat 31 (also on the side of the cover plate 33-0 facing away from the base 31-0 of the shaft seat 31). The cover plate 33-0 is provided with two sets of shaft cover holes 33-1, which are disposed on either side of the main plug 33-2 for the two sets of secondary plugs 31-1 to pass through.

[0121] As shown in FIG3-5 , the rotating shaft 3 further includes a snap-fit structure, and the rotating shaft seat 31 and the rotating shaft cover 33 are connected via the snap-fit structure, which simplifies the assembly operation between the two and improves assembly efficiency.

The main body of the rotating contact is disposed within the shaft seat groove 31-3. The shaft cover 33 is spliced with the shaft seat 31 to clamp the main body of the rotating contact. Furthermore, the rotating contact cooperates with the rotating shaft 3 to prevent the rotating contact 32 from moving radially along the rotating shaft 3s, which could cause the rotating contact portion to fail to close with the receiving contact 3. Specifically, the rotating contact also includes a rotating contact limiting portion provided on the main body of the rotating contact. The rotating contact limiting portion cooperates with the sidewall of the shaft seat groove 31-3 to prevent the rotating contact from moving in the direction in which the shaft seat groove 31-3 extends, that is, preventing the rotating contact from moving radially along the rotating shaft 3s. Furthermore, the rotating contact limiting portion is an arc-shaped protrusion provided on the side edge of the main body of the rotating contact, and a corresponding arc-shaped groove is provided on the sidewall of the shaft seat groove 31-3.
