[0002] With the advancement of technology, DC systems are gaining more and more applications in fields such as ships, DC transmission and distribution, data centers, new energy grid connection, electric vehicles, and rail transit, ushering in a golden period of rapid development. However, in the process of cutting off the current of devices with contacts, arcs are often produced between movable and fixed contacts. AC has a zero crossing process, in which arcs will be naturally extinguished. But compared to AC, DC has no zero crossing process, in which arcs are hard to be naturally extinguished.

[0027] FIG. 1 illustrates a structural schematic diagram of a DC switchgear according to an exemplary implementation. Referring to FIG. 1, a DC switchgear 1 includes a control layer 10, a contact system layer 20 and an electromagnetic system layer 30. The control layer 10 is provided with a control unit. The actions of both the contact system layer 20 and the electromagnetic system layer 30 are controlled by the control unit.
[0028] FIG. 2 illustrates an internal structural schematic diagram of a DC switchgear according to an exemplary implementation. Referring to FIG. 2, at least one main circuit and an execution unit 21 are provided on the contact system layer 20. The main circuit extinguishes DC arcs through multiple breakpoints and semiconductor components. Referring to FIG. 2, two main circuits are provided on the contact system layer 20. Each main circuit includes an isolated contact unit 22, a main contact unit 23 and a controlled unit 24. The isolated contact unit 22 is connected in series with the controlled unit 24. The main contact unit 23 is connected in parallel with the controlled unit 24. The controlled unit 24 is connected in series with the control unit. The isolated contact unit 22 and the main contact unit 23 are provided on the execution unit 21 to execute switching-on and switching-off of the main contact unit 23 and the isolated contact unit 22, and create a time difference between the switching-on time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-on time of the isolated contact unit 22, and a time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22 through the execution unit 21.
[0029] In a case that a coil of the DC switchgear is deenergized, the electromagnetic system layer 30 releases the execution unit 21. When the execution unit 21 executes the switching-off of the main contact unit 23 and the isolated contact unit 22, the control unit uses the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22 to control the controlled unit 24 to be turned off to cut off the current on the main circuit through the controlled unit 24, so as to achieve the extinguishing of DC arcs. The controlled unit 24 is turned off between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22. Compared to the existing DC switchgear, the DC switchgear of the present invention achieves the extinguishing of DC arcs without being added with an arc extinguishing device. Moreover, the DC switchgear of the present invention has a small volume and low structural complexity. Due to the hard connection of the device and no relative movement, the electrical stability and mechanical life are greatly improved.
[0030] Specifically, in a case that the coil of the DC switchgear is deenergized, the control unit controls the controlled unit 23 to be turned on. Due to the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22, the main contact unit 23 is switched off earlier than the isolated contact unit 22, and the current is transferred from the main contact unit 23 to the controlled unit 24, thus preventing the main contact unit 23 from arcing.
[0031] In a case that the control unit detects the current is transferred, timing begins. In a case that preset timing time is over, the control unit controls the controlled unit 24 to be turned off to cut off the current on the main circuit, thus preventing the isolated contact unit 22 from arcing, and the isolated contact unit 22 is switched off. The preset timing time of the control unit is less than the time difference, so that the controlled unit 24 is turned off between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22.
[0032] In order to make the structure of the execution unit simple and easy to implement, referring to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the execution unit 21 includes two first execution subunits 211 and two second execution subunits 212. In this embodiment, the first execution subunits 211 and the second execution subunits 212 are vertically provided on two sides of the electromagnetic system layer 30 along respective movement directions. The first execution subunit 211 is provided with the isolated contact unit 22 at an end away from the electromagnetic system layer 30 to assist the isolated contact unit 22 in executing switching-on / switching-off. The second execution subunit 212 is provided with the main contact unit 23 at an end away from the electromagnetic system layer 30 to assist the main contact unit 23 in executing switching-on / switching-off.
[0033] In practical application, the first execution subunits 211 and the second execution subunits 212 are implemented in the form of brackets.
[0034] In order to achieve the effects that the main contact unit is switched off earlier than the isolated contact unit and the isolated contact unit is switched on earlier than the main contact unit, referring to FIG. 3, the height of the second execution subunit 212 is greater than the height of the first execution subunit 211, and a height difference between the two determines the time difference between the switching-on time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-on time of the isolated contact unit 22, and the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22.
[0035] There are movable and fixed contacts on the contact, which will come into contact when attracted and separate when released. Therefore, in order to provide mounting positions for the fixed contacts of the main contact unit and the isolated contact unit, continuously referring to FIG. 2, the contact system layer 20 is further provided with a common connecting board 28, a first mounting board 25, and a second mounting board 26.
[0036] Specifically, the common connecting board 28 is provided between the first execution subunit 211 and the second execution subunit 212. The common connecting board 28 is configured to provide mounting positions for one main fixed contact of the main contact unit and one isolated fixed contact of the isolated contact unit. In this embodiment, the common connecting board 28 can not only provide mounting positions for fixed contacts, but also dissipate heat and disperse the impact force caused by electromagnetic waves.
[0037] A side surface of the first execution subunit 211 opposite to the common connecting board 28 is provided with the first mounting board 25 corresponding to the common connecting board 28, so as to provide a mounting position for the other isolated fixed contact of the isolated contact unit.
[0038] A side surface of the second execution subunit 212 opposite to the common connecting board 28 is provided with the second mounting board 26 corresponding to the common connecting board 28, so as to provide a mounting position for the other main fixed contact of the main contact unit.
[0039] In order to make the isolated contact unit and the main contact unit easy to implement and have a simple structure, referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, the isolated contact unit 22 includes a first contact bridge 22A, a pair of isolated movable contacts 22B and a pair of isolated fixed contacts 22C. Two end surfaces of the first contact bridge 22A facing to the electromagnetic system layer 30 are respectively provided with the isolated movable contacts 22B. The isolated fixed contacts 22C are respectively provided on the first mounting board 25 and the common connecting board 28 at positions one to one corresponding to positions of the isolated movable contacts 22B. In this embodiment, the isolated contact unit 22 is configured to isolate a power supply and a load, so as to completely cut off the current on the main circuit.
[0040] In this embodiment, the main contact unit 23 includes a second contact bridge 23A, a pair of main movable contacts 23B and a pair of main fixed contacts 23C. Two end surfaces of the second contact bridge 23A facing to the electromagnetic system layer 30 are respectively provided with the main movable contacts 23B. The main fixed contacts 23C are respectively provided on the second mounting board 26 and the common connecting board 28 at positions one to one corresponding to positions of the main movable contacts 23B. In the present invention, mechanical breakpoints are added through two mechanical contacts, and multiple breakpoints will increase the electrical gap, thus making the DC switchgear of the present invention applicable to higher voltage levels.
[0041] In this embodiment, since the isolated contact unit 22 is provided at the end of the first execution subunit 211 away from the electromagnetic system layer 30, and the main contact unit 23 is provided at the end of the second execution subunit 212 away from the electromagnetic system layer 30, in a case that the isolated contact unit 22 and the main contact unit 23 are in a fixed state, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a distance difference (b-a) between the distance a between the isolated movable contact 22B and the isolated fixed contact 22C of the isolated contact unit 22 and the distance b between the main movable contact 23B and the main fixed contact 23C of the main contact unit 23 is equal to the height difference H between the second execution subunit 212 and the first execution subunit 211. Therefore, the contacts of the isolated contact unit 22 will be switched on earlier than the contacts of the main contact unit 23 when attracted, and the contacts of the isolated contact unit 22 will be switched off later than the contacts of the main contact unit 23 when released, resulting in time differences t between switching-on time and switching-off time respectively.
[0042] Specifically, in a case that the coil of the electromagnetic system layer is energized, an iron core attracts the first execution subunit 211 and the second execution subunit 212 to move towards the electromagnetic system layer 30. The isolated contact unit 22 moves together with the first execution unit 211. The main contact unit 23 moves together with the second execution unit 212. In a case that the isolated movable contacts 22B of the isolated contact unit 22 contact the isolated fixed contacts 22C on the first mounting board 25 and the common connecting board 28, the isolated contact unit 22 is switched on. In a case that the main movable contacts 23B of the main contact unit 23 contact the main fixed contacts 23C on the second mounting board 26 and the common connecting board 28, the main contact unit 23 is switched on. Since the height of the second execution subunit 212 is greater than the height of the first execution subunit 211, the isolated contact unit 22 is switched on earlier than the main contact unit 23.
[0043] In a case that the coil of the electromagnetic system layer is deenergized, the iron core releases the first execution subunit 211 and the second execution subunit 212 to move away from the electromagnetic system layer 30. In a case that the isolated movable contacts 22B of the isolated contact unit 22 are separated from the isolated fixed contacts 22C on the first mounting board 25 and the common connecting board 28, the isolated contact unit 22 is switched off. In a case that the main movable contacts 23B of the main contact unit 23 are separated from the main fixed contacts 23C on the second mounting board 26 and the common connecting board 28, the main contact unit 23 is switched off. Since the height of the second execution subunit 212 is greater than the height of the first execution subunit 211, the isolated contact unit 22 is switched off later than the main contact unit 23.
[0044] The present invention uses the time difference between the switching-on time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-on time of the isolated contact unit 22, and the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22 to control the controlled unit 24 to be turned on and turned off , so that the current flowing through the controlled unit 24 and the main contact unit 23 is transferred, thus achieving the extinguishing of the DC arcs of the DC switchgear.
[0045] Specifically, in a case that the coil of the DC switchgear is energized, the control unit controls the controlled unit 24 to be turned on. The isolated contact unit 22 is switched on earlier than the main contact unit 23 due to the time difference between the switching-on time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-on time of the isolated contact unit 22. The current flows from the isolated contact unit 22 through the controlled unit 24. Then, the main contact unit 23 is switched on, and the controlled unit 24 is short-circuited, the current is transferred from the controlled unit 24 to the main contact unit 23. The control unit controls the controlled unit 24 to be turned off in a case that the control unit detects that the current is transferred from the controlled unit 24 to the main contact unit 23.
[0046] In a case that the coil of the DC switchgear is deenergized, the control unit controls the controlled unit 24 to be turned on. The main contact unit 23 is switched off earlier than the isolated unit 22 due to the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22. The current is transferred from the main contact unit 23 to the controlled unit 24. Timing begins in a case that the control unit detects that the current is transferred from the main contact unit 23 to the controlled unit 24. The control unit controls the controlled unit 24 to be turned off to cut off the current on the main circuit in a case that preset timing time is over, and the isolated contact unit 22 is switched off. In this embodiment, the preset timing time of the control unit is less than the time difference, so that the controlled unit 24 is turned off in the time difference between the switching-off time of the main contact unit 23 and the switching-off time of the isolated contact unit 22.
[0047] In order to improve the detection accuracy of current transfer, in this embodiment, the contact system layer 20 is further provided with a sensing unit. The sensing unit is provided between the main contact unit 23 and the controlled unit 24, and is connected with the control unit. In this embodiment, the sensing unit is configured to output detection information to the control unit in a case that the isolated contact unit 22 is switched on and it is detected that the current is transferred from the controlled unit 24 to the main contact unit 23, so as to help the control unit to control the controlled unit 24. Alternatively, it is configured to output detection information to the control unit in a case that the main contact unit 23 is switched off and it is detected that the current is transferred from the main contact unit 23 to the controlled unit 24, so as to help the control unit to control the controlled unit 24.
[0048] Due to the characteristics of easy control, high voltage resistance, low turning-on resistance, and high disconnection impedance of the IGBT module, the controlled unit 24 in this embodiment is implemented by an IGBT module.
