This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202210470358.5, filed on Apr. 28, 2022. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
This application relates to electrical switches, and more particularly to a reclosing switch capable of stably opening and closing.
With respect to the reclosing leakage protectors (namely, the molded case switches) applied in the traditional power distribution network, the opening and closing rely on multiple linkage mechanisms, resulting in complex structure and poor reliability. Moreover, the molded case switch has a high fault rate in use, which brings high maintenance and replacement cost, limiting its application in the power distribution.
Chinese Patent Publication No. 112071720A discloses a direct-operated opening and closing mechanism for reclosing switches, including a switch main body located in the recloser. The switch main body includes a control module, a contact mechanism and a control device. The control device includes an installation frame, and a position control mechanism. The installation frame is provided in the recloser. The position control mechanism includes a position control driving part, a direct-operated pushing part, a reset driving component, and a self-locking limit part. The position control driving part is provided on the installation frame, and the reset driving part is connected to the position control driving part. The position control driving part is configured to push the direct-operated pushing part to move along a guide groove. The control module is provided in the installation frame, and the recloser is provided with a space for the installation of the contact mechanism. The recloser is further provided with conductive contacts for opening and closing of the recloser.
In the above-mentioned application, although the position control driving part can provide a driving force to drive the direct-operated pushing part to push the contact mechanism to perform opening and closing, a spring is required when controlling the movement of the contact mechanism. Particularly, the restoration of the contact mechanism in the opening process is dependent from the elastic force of the spring. However, the frequent use will change the damping performance of the spring, such that the reclosing switch fails to maintain a constant damping. In this regard, when controlling the opening and closing of the recloser, the contact mechanism is prone to short circuit, failing to enable the stable opening and closing of the recloser.
An objective of this application is to provide a reclosing switch, which can provide a constant damping to enable the stable opening and closing.
Technical solutions of this application are described as follows.

When the permanent magnet moving core 11 controls the driving member 2 to close the reclosing switch, the driving member 2 is configured to abut against the raised portion to provide a pressing force to drive the linkage member 32 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 31. When the linkage member 32 drives the first rotating shaft 31 to rotate, the torsion spring 33 is configured to be deformed under the action of an external force, and configured to accumulate force, thereby driving the limit frame 42 to move toward the driving member 2 along the second rotating shaft 41, such that the limit block 43 contacts the side of the driving member 2 away from the protrusion 23. When the driving member 2 moves to the limit groove 24 to correspond to the limit block 43, the limit block 43 is clamped into the limit groove 24 to limit the driving member 2. At this time, the contact mechanism 6 is configured to keep stable contact with the contacts to realize the closing of the reclosing switch.

When the permanent magnet moving core 11 controls the driving member 2 to close the reclosing switch, the limit frame 42 is configured to move toward the driving member 2, and the extension portion 45 is configured to push against the opening control claw 55 to drive the opening control member 53 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 52. When the limit block 43 is clamped into the limit groove 24, the tongue portion 57 is contact with an outer wall of the limit frame away from the driving member 2, so as to limit the limit frame 42, such that the limit frame 42 is difficult to be reset, which further maintains the stable closing of the reclosing switch. At this time, the tower spring 56 is pressed and deformed.
When opening the reclosing switch, the micro-control switch 51 is configured to provide a magnetic attraction force to attract the opening control claw 55 to move toward the micro-control switch 51. The opening control claw 55 is configured to push against the extension portion 45 on the limit frame 42, and allow the tongue portion 57 to release the limit frame 42. The permanent magnet moving core 11 is configured to provide a driving force to control the driving member 2 to move away from the permanent magnet moving core 11. The torsion spring 33 is configured to release an elastic force to control the limit frame 42 to reset and rotate. The limit block 43 is separated from the limit groove 24 to release the limit of the driving member 2. At this time, the driving member 2 is configured to be reset under the driving force, so as to drive the contact mechanism 6 to be separated from the contacts, thereby realizing the fast response to the opening of the reclosing switch. When opening the reclosing switch, the tower spring 56 is configured to apply an elastic force to drive the opening control member 53 to reset.

Working principle and beneficial effects of this application are described as follows.
The permanent magnet moving core 11 arranged on the bracket 1 provides a driving force for driving the fast response of driving member 2. During the closing the reclosing switch, the driving member 2 acts on the linkage assembly 3 to drive the limit assembly 4 to limit the driving member 2, thereby ensuring the stable closing state of the reclosing switch, and making the reclosing switch not prone to opening under the action of an external force. The opening assembly 5 is configured to control the limit assembly 4 to release the driving member 2, such that the driving member 2 can be released rapidly to drive the opening of the reclosing switch. Under the action of the permanent magnet moving core 11, fast and stable opening and closing of the reclosing switch can be realized, even after repeatedly opened and closed. When closing the reclosing switch, the contact mechanism 6 can have a stable contact with the contacts, and when opening the reclosing switch, the contact mechanism can generate a fast response to be separated from the contacts. Under the action of the permanent magnet moving core 11, the limit assembly 4 and the linkage assembly 3, the driving force for fast response to the opening and closing of the reclosing switch can be provided to realize the stable opening and closing of the reclosing switch.
