[0038] The following embodiments are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the specific implementation of the switch electrical apparatus created by the present invention. The switch electrical apparatus created by the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1-6, the switching electrical appliance of this embodiment includes a housing and a contact system 1 and two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively arranged in the housing. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 are relatively arranged on both sides of the contact system 1. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively include an upper armature 21 and a coil 22 for driving the upper armature 21 to move. The upper armatures 21 of the two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 are connected by a linkage shaft 20. The contact system 1 includes a static contact 3 and a moving contact 5 arranged on a contact support 4. The linkage shaft 20 is connected to the contact support 4. The two groups of electromagnetic systems 2 drive the contact support 4 to move through the linkage shaft 20, so that the contact support 4 drives the moving contact 5 to contact and separate with the static contact 3.

[0040] The switching electrical appliance of this embodiment is configured by arranging two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 on both sides of the contact system 1 relative to each other. The two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 synchronously drive the contact support 4 to move up and down, so that the contact support 4 drives the movable contact 5 to contact and separate with the static contact 3. Not only is the driving force large enough to drive one or more sets of movable contacts 5, but the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 apply driving force from both sides to ensure balance. In particular, the electromagnetic system 2 is located on the lateral side of the contact system 1, and the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1 occupy space at the same height, avoiding the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1 being arranged longitudinally, thereby reducing the height of the switching electrical appliance. The switching electrical appliance of this embodiment can be used in locations where contactors cannot be installed at the original height.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-6, the two electromagnetic systems 2 are arranged relative to each other on either side of the contact support 4 along a first direction. The coil 22 is used to drive the upper armature 21 to move in a second direction, thereby driving the contact support 4 to move in the second direction. The inlet and outlet terminals of the contact system 1 are arranged along a third direction. The first, second, and third directions are mutually orthogonal and perpendicular. The internal structure of the housing is rationally arranged, with a compact structure and a small size. Referring to Figure 1, the first direction is the width of the switch, the second direction is the height of the switch, and the third direction can be the length of the switch, for connecting wires at both ends of the length of the switch.

[0042] Furthermore, two static contacts 3 are provided on both sides of the contact support 4, serving as the incoming and outgoing terminals, respectively. The two static contacts 3 are arranged along a third direction, and both ends of the moving contact 5 extend out of the contact support 4 in the third direction. The contact support 4 is used to drive the moving contact 5 to simultaneously contact and separate with the static contacts 3 at both ends, which can further improve the rationality of the layout. In this embodiment, the two static contacts 3 are respectively integrated with the incoming and outgoing terminals, that is, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, one end of the static contact 3 is provided with a static contact point that cooperates with the moving contact, and the other end extends out of the housing as the incoming or outgoing terminal for connecting to the power supply. Of course, as other embodiments, the two static contacts 3 can also be provided separately from the incoming and outgoing terminals, that is, the static contacts 3 are respectively provided with terminal blocks serving as the incoming and outgoing terminals, and the static contacts 3 are connected to the terminal blocks by welding, riveting, or screws, or can be indirectly connected by conductors.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1-2, the housing includes a base 61 and an arc extinguishing cover 62 arranged on the top side of the base 61. A top cover 63 is provided above the arc extinguishing cover 62. The contact system 1 is arranged inside the arc extinguishing cover 62 and the base 61. The arc extinguishing cover 62 is provided with an arc extinguishing mechanism. Two raised boss structures 64 are provided on the top side of the base 61. The middle parts of the two boss structures 64 are respectively provided with groove structures 66 for accommodating the electromagnetic system 2. The electromagnetic system 2 is installed in the groove structure 66. Preferably, the groove structure 66 is provided with a notch near the side wall of the housing, and the housing is provided with a side cover 67 corresponding to the notch, which is used to protect the electromagnetic system 2 and also facilitate the replacement of the electromagnetic system 2. In this embodiment, the side cover 67 is L-shaped, corresponding to the top and side notches of the groove structure 66. Of course, other structures can also be used. Furthermore, the top side of the base 61 is provided with two side covers 65 for respectively covering the two boss structures 64. The two boss structures 64 are arranged on opposite sides of the arc extinguishing cover 62, and the height of the boss structures 64 is less than the height of the arc extinguishing cover 62, so that the internal space is more rationally utilized. Of course, the height of the boss structures 64 can also be greater than or equal to the height of the arc extinguishing cover 62. The bottom side of the base 61 is provided with a bottom cover 68, and a reaction spring 7 connected to the contact support 4 is provided between the base 61 and the bottom cover 68. In this embodiment, the reaction spring 7 is used to drive the contact support 4 to drive the moving contact 5 away from the static contact 3 to form a normally open contact. When the coil 22 is energized, it presses down the contact support 4 to close the moving contact 5 and the static contact 3. When the coil 22 is de-energized, the reaction spring 7 and the contact spring 40 push the contact support 4 to separate the moving contact 5 and the static contact 3. The shell structure of this embodiment facilitates the installation of the electromagnetic system 2 and the contact system 1. Obviously, as other embodiments, the shell can only be provided with a base and an upper cover, or a left shell and a right shell, or be assembled from more shell structures, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] As shown in FIG6 , the housing is provided with a circuit board 23 connected to the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2 respectively. The circuit board 23 can activate the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2. If there is a short circuit, overload, etc., the coil voltage is promptly disconnected, so that the contact support 4 drives the movable contact 5 to contact and separate from the static contact 3, thereby achieving the closing and disconnection of the switch. Preferably, the circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit, which can achieve overload, and / or short circuit, and / or undervoltage, and / or overvoltage protection, etc. For example, the circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit and a current acquisition circuit. The control unit is connected to the electromagnetic system 2 for driving the electromagnetic system 2 to operate, and the control unit is connected to the current acquisition circuit for collecting the current of the main circuit to detect overload or short circuit faults. When an overload or short circuit fault occurs, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the movable contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3. Furthermore, the circuit board 23 is also provided with a voltage acquisition circuit. The control unit is connected to the voltage acquisition circuit to collect the voltage of the main circuit to detect overvoltage or undervoltage faults. When an overvoltage or undervoltage fault occurs, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the static contact 3 is provided with a sensor 24 connected to the circuit board 23. The circuit board 23 is provided with a control unit and a current acquisition circuit and a voltage acquisition circuit. The current acquisition circuit and the voltage acquisition circuit respectively detect the current and voltage of the static contact 3 through the sensor 24. When the control unit detects the occurrence of overload and short-circuit fault current through the current acquisition circuit, it drives the electromagnetic system 2 to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3. When the control unit detects the occurrence of overvoltage fault current through the voltage acquisition circuit, it drives the electromagnetic system 2 to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3. For example, when the current or voltage on the static contact 3 exceeds the threshold, the current acquisition circuit and the voltage acquisition circuit respectively output corresponding fault signals to the circuit board 23, and the duration of the fault signal is recorded through the circuit board 23. When the duration of the fault signal meets the threshold, the electromagnetic system 2 is driven to operate, so that the electromagnetic system 2 drives the moving contact 5 to separate from the static contact 3. The fault current can be an overload, short circuit, undervoltage, or overvoltage, or any combination thereof, enabling the switch to provide overload, short circuit, undervoltage, and / or overvoltage protection in addition to the control circuit. Of course, the circuit board 23 can also be located elsewhere, such as on the side of the electromagnetic system 2, and the sensor 24 can also be located on the terminal block, movable contact, or other conductive element of the main circuit, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The sensor 24 can be a resistor, a mutual inductor, or the like.

[0046] Contact terminals 27 are provided on both sidewalls of the housing in the first direction, i.e., the width direction, for connecting to the control circuits of the corresponding electromagnetic systems 2. In this embodiment, the housing is provided with two circuit boards 23, each connected to the two sets of electromagnetic systems 2. The two circuit boards 23 are located below the corresponding electromagnetic systems 2 and disposed between the base 61 and the bottom cover 68. Furthermore, two sets of wiring mechanisms are provided on the boss structure 64 of the housing, corresponding to each set of electromagnetic systems 2. The two sets of wiring mechanisms are disposed on opposite sides of the corresponding electromagnetic system 2, and each set of wiring mechanisms includes two sets of contact terminals 27 connected to the circuit boards 23. The contact terminals 27 are used to connect to the control circuits of the corresponding electromagnetic systems 2, thereby achieving external control of the electromagnetic systems 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the circuit board 23 has the function of eliminating the residual current in the coil 22 of the electromagnetic system 2. The circuit board 23 includes a quick release circuit. The coil is an inductive element, which is an energy storage element. After power is cut off, there is still an induced current inside the coil. The armature 21 will generate residual magnetism, which hinders the release of the armature 21. The quick release circuit is connected to the coil 22 of the electromagnetic system 2 and is used to eliminate the residual current in the coil 22. In this embodiment, the two circuit boards 23 are respectively provided with a quick release circuit for connecting to the coils 22 of the two electromagnetic systems 2. The quick release circuit is used to eliminate the residual current in the coil 22 after the coil 22 is powered off. The quick release circuit includes a resistor and a diode, and the quick release circuit of the existing technology can also be used. In this embodiment, two circuit boards 23 are provided. The two circuit boards 23 can not only realize the separate control of the two electromagnetic systems 2, but also the two electromagnetic systems 2 can be protected by corresponding circuit boards 23. Of course, as other embodiments, one or more circuit boards 23 can also be set up, and one circuit board 23 is connected to two electromagnetic systems 2 at the same time, or multiple circuit boards 23 are connected, and the middle sensor 24 transmits the electrical signal to all circuit boards 23, and the circuit boards 23 then control their respective electromagnetic systems 2 respectively, so as to realize the control of the electromagnetic systems 2 on both sides.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3-4, this embodiment has a three-phase structure. The contact support 4 is provided with three supporting structures. The two electromagnetic systems 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the three supporting structures. The three supporting structures are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the linkage shaft 20. The length direction of the linkage shaft 20 is the first direction. The arc extinguishing cover 62 is provided with a partition 621 between two adjacent supporting structures. The partition 621 is provided with a linkage groove 622 on the side close to the base 61 for avoiding the linkage shaft 20. The linkage shaft 20 passes through the three supporting structures in sequence and is used to drive the three supporting structures to move at the same time. The three supporting structures are respectively provided with moving contacts 5. Each supporting structure is respectively provided with two static contacts 3 on the other two sides. When the supporting structure moves, it drives the moving contact 5 to contact and separate with the corresponding two static contacts 3. In the switch apparatus of this embodiment, the first electromagnetic system 2, three support structures, and the second electromagnetic system 2 are sequentially arranged along the length of the linkage shaft 20. The movable contact 5 is mounted on the support structure, with both ends extending from the support structure. The length of the movable contact 5 is perpendicular to the length of the linkage shaft 20. Static contacts 3 corresponding to the ends of the movable contact 5 are provided on both sides of each support structure, and the line connecting the two static contacts 3 is perpendicular to the length of the linkage shaft 20. It is understood that the number of the support structures can also be adjusted, and the number of movable contacts 5 and static contacts 3 can also be adjusted accordingly based on the number of support structures. For example, one, two, or more than three support structures can be provided. The multiple support structures can be integrally injection-molded to form the contact support 4, or multiple support structures can be spliced ​​to form the contact support 4, or multiple support structures can be connected to the linkage shaft 20 separately. The multiple support structures are arranged along the length of the linkage shaft 20. The two electromagnetic systems 2 can simultaneously drive the movement of multiple support structures through the linkage shaft 20 without increasing the height of the switch apparatus.

[0049] As shown in FIG5 , arc extinguishing mechanisms are provided at both ends of the moving contact 5 , each including an arc extinguishing structure 83 . In this embodiment, the arc extinguishing cover 62 is provided with an arc-striking plate 81 and an arc-isolating plate 82 at both ends of the moving contact 5 in the third direction, and an arc-extinguishing structure 83 located between the arc-striking plate 81 and the arc-isolating plate 82 . The arc-extinguishing structure 83 includes a plurality of arc-striking plates arranged at intervals. The arc-striking plate 81 is located on the side of the arc-extinguishing structure 83 close to the moving contact 5 , and the arc-isolating plate 82 is located on the side of the arc-extinguishing structure 83 away from the moving contact 5 . The arc-striking plate 81 is used to guide the arc toward the arc-extinguishing structure 83 . The plurality of arc-striking plates separate the arc, thereby extinguishing the arc. The arc-isolating plate 82 is used to separate the arc, thereby extinguishing the arc. The upper cover 63 is used to protect the arc-striking plates 81, arc-isolating plates 82, and arc-extinguishing structure 83 in the arc-extinguishing cover 62 . In this embodiment, the two arc-striking plates 81 at both ends of each moving contact 5 are connected. Of course, the two arc-starting pieces 81 at both ends of each moving contact 5 can also be provided independently, and both fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] As shown in Figures 6-7, the movable contact 5 is mounted on the contact support 4 via a contact spring 40. In one embodiment, the movable contact 5 passes through the contact support 4, and the contact spring 40 is provided on the contact support 4 to act on the movable contact 5. Preferably, in this embodiment, the moving contact 5 is arranged on the top of the contact support 4 and is fixed by a clamping structure 9, a contact spring 40 and a contact support 4. The contact support 4 is provided with a contact spring 40 and a clamping structure 9 connected to the contact spring 40. The clamping structure 9 extends to the outside of the contact support 4 to push the moving contact 5. The contact spring 40 drives the moving contact 5 to be pressed against the upper limit position of the outer side surface of the contact support 4 through the clamping structure 9. When the contact support 4 drives the moving contact 5 to contact the static contact 3, the moving contact 5 is pressed against the upper limit position of the static contact 3. The contact support 4 moves and compresses the contact spring 40. The contact spring 40 drives the moving contact 5 to be pressed against the upper limit position of the static contact 3 through the clamping structure 9, thereby increasing the contact pressure between the static contact 3 and the moving contact 5. The clamping structure 9 is provided with an avoidance hole for avoiding the linkage shaft 20. Of course, as other embodiments, the clamping structure 9 may not be provided.
