  • Currently, in applications where multiple feedback signals are directly generated by multiple auxiliary contacts, when the purposes of multiple feedback signals include controlling the movement state of the movable contact of the switch device, a feedback signal for controlling the movement state of the movable contact changes earlier than feedback signals for other purposes; the control system directly updates a control command of the movement state of the movable contact according to the feedback signal; when the new control command is STOP, the movable contact is stopped, and the linkage structure is also stopped; it is possible that the state of the auxiliary contacts for other subsequent purposes cannot be changed, the corresponding feedback signals cannot be changed, the multiple feedback signals are incomplete, the control system mistakenly reports that the switch device is failed, and the stability of the system is affected
  • In order to at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device, which generates a control instruction of the switch device according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and a control signal, so as to improve the complete effectiveness of all of the feedback signals of the switch device and increase the stability of the system.
  • Fig. 1 is a structural block diagram of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the control system based on the multiple feedback signals of the switch device includes a micro switch 2, a signal processing device 3 coupled to an external system 4 and the micro switch 2, and a motor control device 5 coupled to the signal processing device 3.
  • It should be noted that the external system 4 and the micro switch 2 may be in a wired connection with the signal processing device 3, and specifically by means of wires, cables, optical fibers, etc.
  • The micro switch 2 is configured to sense a position of the moveable contact of the switch device 1 to generate multiple feedback signals. Similarly, the motor control device 5 and the signal processing device 3 may be coupled to each other wirelessly or wiredly, and the motor control device 5 and the switch device 1 may also be coupled to each other wirelessly or wiredly.
  • In which, the micro switch 2 is a mechanical switch.
  • The signal processing device 3 receives a control signal of the external system 4 and the multiple feedback signals, and generates a motor control instruction of the switch device 1 according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and the control signal.
  • The motor control device 5 controls a motor of the switch device 1 according to the motor control instruction, and the motor controls closing and opening of a main contact of the switch device.
  • The signal processing device may also be integrated with the motor control device, and the micro switch directly serves as a part of a motor control loop.
  • It should be noted that after a large number of analyses and investigations on the fact that the control system mistakenly alarms that the switch device is failed, the applicant finds that among the multiple feedback signals of the switch device, the changes of the states of different auxiliary contacts have a sequence, which is inevitable, predictable and fixed. The changes of the multiple feedback signals have a fixed sequence. However, the purpose of the multiple feedback signals in the existing design is not strictly designed according to the sequence of the changes of the states of the auxiliary contact, resulting in the false alarm of the fault of the switch device.
  • According to the above technical solution of the present disclosure, when the movable contact of the switch device moves, the linkage structure is driven to move together, and the state of the micro switch is normal when a set position is not reached; when the movable contact moves to the set position, the linkage structure is triggered to change the micro switch into a triggered state, which is opposite to the normal state, so that the micro switch feeds back whether the movable contact of the switch device is at the set position; the micro switch is coupled to the signal processing device, thereby causing a change of the feedback signal, so as to carry out corresponding processing according to the feedback signal, such as controlling the movement state of the movable contact of the switch device, etc. Since multiple feedback signals are generated when the movable contact of the switch device moves to the set position, a control instruction of the switch device is generated according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and a control signal, so as to improve the complete effectiveness of all of the feedback signals of the switch device and increase the stability of the system.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a first specific structure of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the switch device SW includes a motor M, a screw S, a nut N, a movable contact DC, stationary contacts SC1 and SC2, and a linkage structure L. The nut N, the movable contact DC, and the linkage structure L are fixed together and have the same movement state. The motor M rotates and drives the screw S to rotate, and the nut N drives the movable contact DC to move linearly. The movable contact DC has three movement states, i.e., stopping, moving close to the static contacts SC1 and SC2, and moving away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2, while the static contacts SC1 and SC2 are fixed. When the motor M stops, the movable contact DC stops; when the motor M rotates forward, the movable contact DC moves close to the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2; and when the motor M rotates backward, the movable contact DC moves away from the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2. Serving as main circuit endpoints T1 and T2 of the switch device, the static contacts SC1 and SC2 are not coupled themselves. When the movable contact DC is in contact with the static contacts SC1 and SC2, the switch device SW is closed. When the movable contact DC is separated from the static contacts SC1 and SC2, the switch device SW is opened. When the movable contact DC is either in contact with or separated from the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2, there is an elastic space.
  • The movable contact DC has two set positions, wherein a first set position P1 is a corresponding position when the movable contact realizes the opening of the switch device, and a second set position P2 is a corresponding position when the movable contact realizes the closing of the switch device. There are at least two micro switches, wherein at least one micro switch X1 is disposed at a position of the linkage structure of the movable contact in an open state of the switch device, i.e., position P1, for sensing the open state of the switch device, and at least one micro switch X2 is disposed at a position of the linkage structure of the movable contact in a closed state of the switch device, i.e., position P2, for sensing the closed state of the switch device. At least two feedback signals are designed for each set position, and the movable contact DC can only move between the two set positions P1 and P2.
  • A control system CTRU includes micro switches X1 and Y1, a signal processing device SPU and a motor control device MDR. The micro switch X1 is disposed at the first set position P1 and the micro switch Y1 is disposed at the second set position P2.
  • The micro switch X1 includes a retractable trigger lever TRG11 and two auxiliary switches A11 and B11. The retractable trigger lever TRG11 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch A11 is in an open state and the auxiliary switch B11 is in a closed state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRG11 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L, is located in a movement path of the linkage structure of the movable contact of the switch device, and triggers a control end of each of the auxiliary switches in sequence in a compression process. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the first set position P1, the retractable trigger lever TRG11 will be compressed.
