Description
- The present disclosure relates to an operating mechanism for a dual-power changeover switch and a dual-power changeover switch.
- Dual-power changeover switches are widely used in industrial fields, especially in emergency power supply systems or places where power outage is not permitted. Based on the status of a power supply circuit, the dual-power changeover switch allows a load circuit connected to one power supply to be connected to another power supply, for example, switching between commercial power grid and standby power supply, thus maintaining continuous and reliable operation of the load circuit.
- Like other power distribution components, the dual-power changeover switch can also be divided into different housing frames according to the current level. However, compared with products such as circuit breakers and contactors, the demand for dual-power changeover switch is relatively small. In order to achieve the purpose of reducing cost and increasing production efficiency, it is an extremely effective means to reuse components and parts for housing frames of different current levels to the maximum extent.
- Dual-power changeover switch is generally divided into two portions, which are an operating mechanism and a breaking unit, respectively. The operating mechanism transfers energy to a movable contact carrier of the breaking unit so that the movable contact performs opening and closing motions. For modular designs, more and more attentions have been paid to the case where a high-current dual-power changeover switch employs part of modules of a low-current dual-power changeover switch. For example, the reused module can be the operating mechanism of the dual-power changeover switch. Of course, the breaking unit can also be reused to a certain extent. Such layout is especially suitable for products with smaller demand and larger number of components and parts.
- Moreover, for a relatively wider breaking unit, that is, if the ratio of a length to a diameter of the movable contact carrier is large (it can be considered as an elongate shaft), it is easy to result in nonsynchronous closing between poles when drive at a single side.
- Therefore, there is a need for a dual-power changeover switch that can reliably switch synchronously under the condition of reusing modular units.
-

- The drawings accompanying the specification are schematic diagrams to assist in explaining the concept(s) of the present disclosure, and schematically show the shapes of various parts and their relationships.
- Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in details with reference to
Figs. 1 to 8 . - The dual-
power changeover switch 100 shown inFig. 1 includes four poles which are A, B, C and N, respectively. In some other embodiments, the dual-power changeover switch may include three poles, which is not limited in the present disclosure. The dual-power changeover switch of the present disclosure can be used for a large current of about 630A, for example. Of course, the dual-power changeover switch of the present disclosure can also be used for larger current, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Compared with the low-current dual-power changeover switch, the width of the dual-power changeover switch of the present disclosure (i.e., the sum of the widths of all the poles) can reach about 180 mm. Therefore, the ratio of the length to the diameter of the movable contact carrier of the dual-power changeover switch shown inFig. 1 is relatively larger, and as shown inFig. 5 , amain shaft 102 shared by breaking units of all the poles of the dual-power changeover switch is an elongate shaft. In the case of such elongate shaft, when driven at a single side, it may lead to inconsistent torsions of various portions of the main shaft, resulting in nonsynchronous opening and closing motions of the breaking units of various poles. The "main shaft shared by all the poles" mentioned here refers to a common shaft that can drive the opening and closing motions of the movable contact carrier of the breaking unit of each of the poles, and the main shaft extends to pass through the movable contact carriers of the breaking units of all the poles. - The operating mechanism according to the present disclosure can simultaneously drive the breaking units of various poles of the dual-power changeover switch, especially driving from both sides of the dual-power changeover switch, so that the dual-power changeover switch can be switched between different states.
- As shown in
Figs. 1 to 6 , the operating mechanism includes amanual operating device 1, a synchronizingrod 2, afirst driving member 3, and asecond driving member 4. - The
manual operating device 1 is arranged on a first side of ahousing 101 of the dual-power changeover switch 100 and is configured to rotate around a rotation axis under the action of a driving force. The "housing" mentioned here refers to the entirety of all the housing frames on which various components and parts of the dual-power changeover switch are arranged. As shown inFigs. 1 to 3 , themanual operating device 1 is arranged on the first side at the left of the figure. For example, themanual operating device 1 can be arranged on aleft housing frame 103, as shown inFigs. 2 and3 . As shown inFig. 6 , themanual operating device 1 can be a manual operating panel, which is arranged on thehousing frame 103 through a rotation shaft of the manual operating panel, with a rotation axis of the manual operating panel shown as "A" in the figure. In some other embodiments, themanual operating device 1 can also be arranged on aright housing frame 104, that is, on a second side of thehousing 101 opposite to the first side. It should be noted that the operating mechanism of the present disclosure only has the manual operating device arranged at one of its sides. - As shown in
Figs. 2 and3 andFigs. 6 and7 , the synchronizingrod 2 is connected to themanual operating device 1 in a transmission way, and includes afirst end 21 located close to the first side of thehousing 101 and asecond end 22 located close to the second side of thehousing 101 opposite to the first side, and is configured to rotate around its extension direction when themanual operating device 1 rotates. The synchronizingrod 2 is rotatably arranged on thehousing 101, for example, on theleft housing frame 103 and theright housing frame 104. - The
first driving member 3 is arranged on thefirst end 21 of the synchronizingrod 2 and connected with a firstdriving disc assembly 5 at a first end of themain shaft 102 shared by the breaking units of all the poles. The first end of themain shaft 102 is located close to the first side of thehousing 101, that is, the first end is a left end. It can be considered that the firstdriving disc assembly 5 is located on the first side of thehousing 101, for example, it's arranged on theleft housing frame 103. - The
second driving member 4 is arranged on thesecond end 22 of the synchronizingrod 2 and connected with a second driving disc assembly 6 at a second end of themain shaft 102. The second end of themain shaft 102 is located close to the second side of thehousing 101, that is, the second end is a right end. It can be considered that the second driving disc assembly 6 is located on the second side of thehousing 101, for example, it's arranged on theright housing frame 104. - The first
driving disc assembly 5 and the second driving disc assembly 6 are configured to be capable of rotating when driven by an electromagnetic operating mechanism of the dual-power changeover switch, thereby driving the main shaft to perform opening and closing motions. That is to say, the firstdriving disc assembly 5 and the second driving disc assembly 6 are part of an automatic operating mechanism of the dual-power changeover switch. The electromagnetic operating mechanism includeselectromagnets Fig. 6 . Theelectromagnets housing 101, and theelectromagnets housing 101, for example, on their respective housing frames. Additionally, as shown inFig. 6 , the firstdriving disc assembly 5 includes a firstcentral turntable 51 and afirst driving disc 52 coaxially arranged on the left side of thehousing 101, and correspondingly, the second driving disc assembly 6 includes a secondcentral turntable 61 and asecond driving disc 62 coaxially arranged on the right side of thehousing 101. The firstcentral turntable 51 is rotatable around its rotation shaft when driven by theelectromagnets first driving disc 52 to rotate therewith. The secondcentral turntable 61 is rotatable around its rotation shaft when driven by theelectromagnets second driving disc 62 to rotate therewith. - Furthermore, the first
driving disc assembly 5 includes afirst protrusion 53 provided thereon, and the second driving disc assembly 6 includes asecond protrusion 63 provided thereon. Thefirst protrusion 53 is connected to the first end (i.e., the left end) of themain shaft 102, and thesecond protrusion 63 is connected to the second end (i.e., the right end) of themain shaft 102. As shown inFigs. 3 and6 , thefirst protrusion 53 is in the form of a pin, which is arranged on thefirst driving disc 52 and inserted into a groove on aleft crank arm 1021 of themain shaft 102 by passing through theleft housing frame 103 of thehousing 101. Similarly, thesecond protrusion 63 is also in the form of a pin, which is arranged on thesecond driving disc 62 and inserted into a groove on aright crank arm 1022 of themain shaft 102 by passing through theright housing frame 104 of thehousing 101. Thefirst protrusion 53 and thesecond protrusion 63 may also have other forms. - For example, when driven by the
electromagnets central turntable 51 and thefirst driving disc 52, as well as the secondcentral turntable 61 and thesecond driving disc 62 can rotate together in the counterclockwise direction inFig. 6 , thereby driving the main shaft to move to a first position corresponding to a first power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch, for example. When driven by theelectromagnets central turntable 51 and thefirst driving disc 52, as well as the secondcentral turntable 61 and thesecond driving disc 62 can rotate together in the clockwise direction inFig. 6 , thereby driving the main shaft to move to a second position corresponding to a second power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch, for example. Of course, when driven by the electromagnetic operating mechanism, the firstcentral turntable 51 and thefirst driving disc 52, as well as the secondcentral turntable 61 and thesecond driving disc 62 can also collectively drive the main shaft to move to a dual-separation position corresponding to a dual-separation state of the dual-power changeover switch. - The
first driving member 3 and thesecond driving member 4 as described above are configured to simultaneously rotate in the same direction around the synchronizingrod 2 as a rotation shaft when the synchronizingrod 2 rotates, so as to drive the firstdriving disc assembly 5 and the second driving disc assembly 6 to rotate, thereby driving the main shaft to perform opening motion and closing motion. That is to say, under the action of the manual operating mechanism of the present disclosure, themain shaft 102 can move between the first position corresponding to the first power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch and the second position corresponding to the second power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch, or, themain shaft 102 can move among the first position corresponding to the first power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch, the dual-separation position corresponding to the dual-separation state of the dual-power changeover switch, and the second position corresponding to the second power-on state of the dual-power changeover switch. Thefirst driving member 3 and thesecond driving member 4 may be exactly the same, for example, both in the form of gears. For example, the first drivingmember 3 and thesecond driving member 4 may be exactly the same gears with the same size and the same form of teeth. For example, the first drivingmember 3 and thesecond driving member 4 can simultaneously rotate in the counterclockwise direction inFig. 6 or simultaneously rotate in the clockwise direction inFig. 6 . - The
manual operating device 1 and theelectromagnets electromagnets - As shown in
Fig. 6 , the operating mechanism also includes afirst transmission assembly 7 arranged on the first side of thehousing 101 and asecond transmission assembly 8 arranged on the second side of thehousing 101. Thefirst transmission assembly 8 is arranged between the first drivingmember 3 and the firstdriving disc assembly 5, and thesecond transmission assembly 8 is arranged between thesecond driving member 4 and the second driving disc assembly 6. Furthermore, thefirst transmission assembly 7 and thesecond transmission assembly 8 are exactly the same. For example, thefirst transmission assembly 7 and thesecond transmission assembly 8 are each provided with at least one gear. As shown inFig. 6 , thefirst transmission assembly 7 and thesecond transmission assembly 8 are each provided with one gear. For example, thefirst transmission assembly 7 engages with the first drivingmember 3 in the form of gear and the teeth of the firstcentral turntable 51 of the firstdriving disc assembly 5, respectively, and thesecond transmission assembly 8 engages with thesecond driving member 4 in the form of gear and the teeth of the secondcentral turntable 61 of the second driving disc assembly 6, respectively. By arranging thefirst transmission assembly 7 and thesecond transmission assembly 8 to cooperate with the first drivingmember 3 and thesecond driving member 4, respectively, the transmission torque of the synchronizingrod 2 can be reduced. For example, the transmission torque of the operating mechanism of the present disclosure is about 4 N·m. This makes it possible to reduce the deformation of the synchronizing rod, to ensure the synchronous driving at the left and right sides of the synchronizing rod, and to further improve the synchronization of the switching between opening motion and closing motion of various poles of the dual-power changeover switch. - As shown in
Figs. 7 and 8 , the first drivingmember 3 and thesecond driving member 4 are respectively connected with thefirst end 21 and thesecond end 22 of the synchronizingrod 2 throughspline connectors 9. For example, thespline connector 9 has an arc surface. This structure can ensure accurate and tight transmission of torque. - As shown in
Fig. 6 , the operating mechanism also includes athird transmission assembly 10, which is arranged between themanual operating device 1 and the synchronizingrod 2 and transmits the driving force of themanual operating device 1 to the synchronizingrod 2. For example, thethird transmission assembly 10 is connected with the first drivingmember 3, and is configured to drive the first drivingmember 3 to rotate when themanual operating device 1 rotates, thereby driving the synchronizingrod 2 to rotate, so that the first drivingmember 3 and thesecond driving member 4 can rotate simultaneously in the same direction. Thethird transmission assembly 10 may include at least one gear. For example, thethird transmission assembly 10 includes two gears shown inFig. 6 . By providing thethird transmission assembly 10, the position of the synchronizingrod 2 can be adjusted, so that the current loop (not shown in the figure) of the breaking unit can be bypassed. Additionally, thethird transmission assembly 10 can also cooperate with themanual operating device 1, so as to adjust the magnitude of the force for manual operation. - Although not shown in the figure, the rotation axis A of the
manual operating device 1 and the extension direction of the synchronizingrod 2 are parallel to the extension direction of themain shaft 102, respectively. In some other embodiments, the rotation axis A of themanual operating device 1 may not be parallel to the extension direction of the synchronizingrod 2. - Under automatic operation, the synchronizing rod, the first and second driving members that rotate coaxially, and other transmission assemblies added in the manual operating mechanism of the present disclosure are all driven members which will not be subject to the force exerted by the automatic operating mechanism and will not affect the synchronization of the automatic operation.
- In the operating mechanism disclosed in the present disclosure, the driving mechanisms at the first side and the second side (i.e., the left side and the right side) of the housing of the dual-power changeover switch are symmetrically arranged, and the driving chains and the directions of polarization at both sides are completely consistent with each other in addition to the introduced deformation and the error of the synchronizing rod per se, which ensures the synchronization of the movement of the first driving disc assembly and the second driving disc assembly to the greatest extent, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the opening and closing motions of the breaking units of various poles of the dual-power changeover switch.
- Additionally, gears are utilized in the operating mechanism disclosed in the present disclosure for transmission, so that the torque transmitted by the synchronizing rod can be simply and directly adjusted, which leads to simple structure and low costs.
