Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a switching mechanism for selectively switching a proper power source from a normal power source and a standby power source to supply power to a load, and in particular, a spring actuating mechanism for a closing operation mechanism. The present invention relates to an operation mechanism of a conversion switch having a switch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional switching switch is a so-called seesaw type in which one of the contact on the normal side and the contact on the standby side is always in the open state, but recently, in order to enhance safety, Has two sets of contact mechanisms that are independently opened and closed so that both contacts can temporarily have an open position which is an open position. Those having a common single dosing mechanism have become popular.

However, such a conventional one is generally an electromagnetic contactor system in which a contact mechanism is directly closed by a solenoid, and a spring-in system like the present invention does not exist. . At the same time, in such a conversion switch, the one with a spring closing mechanism in the closing operation mechanism is capable of high speed closing, and the closing speed and throwing input are constant regardless of the operating voltage, and safe closing is possible. It is particularly preferable because of the fact that the operation can be performed and the operation current for making operation is small.

[0004]

The spring closing mechanism of the conversion switch releases the energy of the stored closing spring to close the opening / closing mechanism. In the case of the conversion switch, the closing spring releases the closing spring. When the normal side or standby side contact mechanism is closed and immediately after that, the closing spring is re-energized by the electric closing mechanism for electric power as long as the normal voltage exists, so that the next closing can be performed. To wait.

As described above, if any one of the contact mechanism is accidentally further closed during the closing operation, the closing spring is released again, and the closing spring is independently operated without the operation of the contact mechanism. Since it is in a so-called "null driving" state in which energy is released, an excessive mechanical shock occurs, which is not preferable. Also, in the case of a conversion switch, since it is usually an electric operation, "blank hit" can be prevented by taking an electrical interlock using a limit switch, but if a manual operation mechanism is added Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the manual input operation in such a state.

An object of the present invention is, in order to solve such a problem in the prior art, a conversion capable of preventing "idle driving" of a spring closing mechanism caused by a re-closing operation during closing of a contact mechanism. It is to provide an operating device for a switch.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, the operating device of the conversion switch selects either one of the normal side contact mechanism and the spare side contact mechanism. In a conversion switch that is closed by a single spring closing mechanism, a pair of closing electromagnets is provided on each of the normal side and the standby side, and has an engaging portion at one end, and the other end extends from the spring closing mechanism. An operation link rotatably supported at one end of the closing arm and biased to an intermediate position between the two contactor mechanisms by a spring at an open position, and contact between the working side and the spare side By a swinging action, a pair of symmetrically arranged operation arms, which are directly connected to the child mechanism, face the operation link on both sides of the operation link, and each have an engaging portion at the tip, Of the operation link A swinging mechanism for selectively engaging the joint portion with the engaging portion of the operating arm on the regular side or the spare side, a release driving mechanism operated by the closing electromagnet, and a closing spring provided in the spring closing mechanism. Is temporarily stored in a stored state, and has a closing spring holding / releasing mechanism for releasing the restraint of the closing spring in the stored state at the time of closing, and either the normal side or the spare side at the time of closing. The swing mechanism and the operating link are swung by the respective movable rods that are activated when the closing electromagnet on the selected side is excited, and the engaging portion of the operating link and the engagement of the operating arm on the selected side are rocked. Engage the joint, mechanically couple the contactor mechanism and the spring closing mechanism on the selected side, and subsequently operate the closing spring holding / releasing mechanism to pre-store the energy. Of the spring loading mechanism The closing spring is released, the closing shaft of the spring closing mechanism is rotated to cause the closing arm, the operation link and the operation arm to respond, and the contact mechanism of the selected side is closed and the closing side of the other side is closed. An operation mechanism interlocked so that the closing electromagnet cannot be closed by the swinging mechanism, wherein the release driving mechanism of the closing spring holding / releasing mechanism is configured to operate when any one of the closing electromagnets operates. With a closing slide common to the working side and the spare side that always moves in a fixed direction in conjunction with the moving rod of the closing electromagnet,
A slide head having one end rotatably connected to the leading end of the closing slide and the other end facing a closing spring releasing arm extending from the releasing drive mechanism, and the slide head and the closing shaft of the spring closing mechanism connected to each other. The link member that responds to the rotation of the closing shaft rotates the slide head to move the facing position of the slide head and the closing spring releasing arm, and It is characterized in that the operation of the closing slide does not act on the closing spring releasing arm even when the closing operation is further tried to the contact mechanism.

The operating mechanism of the conversion switch according to the present invention is
When the closing operation is performed when both the power source side contact mechanism and the spare side contact mechanism are both in the open position, the closing slide that moves in a certain direction regardless of which side the closing operation is performed and the slide attached to this closing slide. The head moves, the closing spring releasing arm is operated, and the closing spring holding / releasing mechanism is further released to release the closing spring and close the contactor mechanism. The contact mechanism on the other side is interlocked by the operation of the slide plate of the swing mechanism so that it cannot be closed. Further, when the closing operation is further performed on the contact mechanism on the side that has already been closed, the slide head is rotated by the link member connected between the closing shaft and the slide head. The slide head does not engage the closing spring release arm when the closing slide moves. Because of this, the closing spring is not released.

The spare second selection lever 97 ′, which is interlocked counterclockwise by the cut-and-bend portion 94c ′ of the slide plate 94, is not interfered with by the spare first selection lever 96 ′.
It is necessary to satisfy the following two operation conditions. for that reason,

1) In order to satisfy the conditions, the clearance "g" between the roller 88, the first selection lever 96 and the second selection lever 97 before the operation of the movable rod 84 on the regular side is started is shown in FIG.
It is reduced as shown in. 2) First selection lever 96 and second selection lever 9 on the regular side
7 of the respective rotation centers K and L, and the engagement point M of the first selection lever 96 and the second selection lever 97.
The KML consists of a movable rod 8 as shown in FIGS.
4 increases, that is, the engagement point M is always above the straight line KL. In this case, the movable rod 8
4, the first selection lever 96 on the regular side is rotated counterclockwise, is engaged with the second selection lever 97 at the point M, and the second selection lever 97 is rotated clockwise. Although the slide plate 94 is slid to the right and the spare second selection lever 97 'is rotated clockwise, the second selection lever 9'
Since there is a gap "G" between 7'and the first selection lever 96 ', this series of operations is performed without any problem. 3) After the swing motion is completed, in order to prevent excessive sliding of the slide plate 94, at the end of the operation stroke of the movable rod 84, as shown in FIG.
The tangent line between the rotation avoiding portion 96a of the first selection lever 96 and the roller 88 prevents the movable rod 84 from rotating further.
Will be parallel to.

A pair of holes 94 in the flat portion of the slide plate 94
18 and 21, b and 94b 'are composed of two parts having different widths, and the inner part 94d, 94d' can be penetrated by the stopper 87 of the movable rod 84, and the outer part 94d.
The widths e and 94e 'cannot penetrate. That is, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, when any of the contacts is open, the inner portions 94d and 94d ′ of the wide holes correspond to the stoppers 87 and 87 ′, so that both the regular side and the spare side are The movable rods 84, 84 'of FIG. On the other hand, in the state where one of the regular side and the spare side is in the process of being input, or in the state of being input, even if the slide command is erroneously given to the other due to the state where the slide plate 94 is sliding to one side, Movable rods 84, 84 'stoppers 87, 8
7'does not operate by colliding with the outer portion 94e or 94e 'of the wide hole, so that incorrect insertion can be prevented. 20 and 21 are diagrams for explaining this state, and show the state in which the standby side is given a closing command while the regular side is making the closing.

The release driving mechanism J includes a pair of deflection plates 101, 101 'corresponding to the normal side and the spare side, a single closing slide 102, a slide head 103, a slide head link 104, and a spring release arm 105. And a lever 106. Deflection plates 101, 10
1'is rotatably supported by a fixed rotation shaft and faces the tips of the movable rods 84, 84 'so that it can rotate counterclockwise when the corresponding closing electromagnet 80 or 80' is operated. A roller 107 and a slide head 103 are rotatably attached to one end of the closing slide 102 via a shaft 108, the roller 107 and the shaft 108 are guided by a guide plate 109 that is bent in a U shape, and the other end is fixed. A lever 110 pivotally supported by a moving shaft is pivotally supported by the tip of the lever 110.
For this reason, the closing slide 102 can slide in the left and right directions, and is normally biased to the left by the spring 111. The closing slide 102 has a pair of closing slide protrusions 1 bent into an L shape corresponding to the normal side and the spare side.
12, 112 'are fixed to the deflecting plates 101, 101' so as to face each other, and when the deflecting plate 101 or 101 'is rotated counterclockwise, the closing slide 102 is slid to the right.

Since the roller 117 is rotatably supported by the slide head 103 and is biased clockwise by a spring (not shown), as shown in FIG.
In the open state of any of the contacts, the roller 117 is brought into contact with the mechanism base 3. For this purpose, the slide head 103
Has a tip facing the roller 113. Therefore, the roller 113 can be pressed when the closing slide 102 and the slide head 103 slide rightward as shown in FIG. The roller 113 is the input link shaft 5
Since it is attached to one end of the spring releasing arm 105 fixed to 4, the closing link 54 can be rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 17 when pressed to the right.

On the other hand, a shaft 114 is provided in the middle of the deflection plate 101.
The slide head link 104 is connected via. The long hole 104 a formed at the other end of the slide head link 104 has a lever 1 fixed to the closing shaft 58.
The pin 115 planted in 06 is loosely connected. For this reason, in the state in which the closing shaft 58 is rotated counterclockwise, that is, in the closing state in which one of the contacts is closed,
As shown in FIG. 12, the pin 115 abuts on the upper end of the elongated hole 104a, and the closing connecting plate operating lever 104 rotates the slide head 103 counterclockwise about the shaft 108 so that the tip of the slide head 103 moves. It will not face the roller 113. For this reason, even if the closing slide 102 slides to the right, the slide head 103 escapes upward and the closing link shaft 54 cannot be rotated. This state is shown in FIG.

Next, the contact opening / closing operation of the conversion switch according to the present invention will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the energization of the closing spring 26 for energizing the throwing force causes the motor 38 (FIG. 9) to rotate in response to an electrical energization command, so that the motor crank roller 40 is eccentric. It is done by exercising. That is, the motor crank roller 4
The charge lever 29, which is in contact with 0 at one end, is rotated clockwise around the camshaft 27 until the motor crank roller 40 reaches the top dead center indicated by the dashed line, and the gear 30 is moved by the feed pawl 42. It is sent counterclockwise. The charge lever 29 is rotated counterclockwise by the charge lever spring 41 until the motor crank roller 40 passes through the top dead center and reaches the bottom dead center.
At this time, the gear 30 is prevented from being reversed by the fixed pawl 44.

By repeating this reciprocating motion, the shaft 36
Is rotated clockwise, the crankshaft 33 is moved leftward along the fixed groove 46 via the crank plate 37, and the closing spring 26 is expanded and accumulated. When the closing spring 26 is expanded to the maximum amount and the center of the shaft 36 crosses the line connecting the center of the cam shaft 27 and the center of the crank shaft 33, the stored force is slightly released, and the crank levers 28, 28 'are released. It is reversed so as to be rotated clockwise. At this time, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the storage force holding roller 48 mounted on the closing cam 31 that is rotated together with the crank levers 28 and 28 'is engaged with the charge latch 50, and the charge latch 50 is connected to the charge latch receiving shaft. Since the semicircular portion of 51 is engaged, the energy storage force is retained and the energy storage is completed. At this time, the motor 3 is turned on by a limit switch (not shown).
8 is turned off, but the gear 3 corresponding to the feed claw 42
Since two teeth of 0 are missing, even if the charge lever 29 is further operated by inertia, the gear 30 is not rotated.

Next, referring to FIGS. 12 to 21, the closing operation will be described for the case where the normal side contact is closed by electric operation. First, in FIG. 13, when a signal for closing the normal side contact is applied, the exciting coil 81 of the closing electromagnet 80 is excited, and the movable iron core 83 as shown in FIG.
Is attracted by the fixed iron core 82 and moved downward, and the roller 88 mounted on the movable rod 84 moves to the first position during the movement.
The selection lever 96 is pressed and rotated counterclockwise. By this counterclockwise rotation of the first selection lever 96, the second selection lever 97 engages with the first selection lever 96 and is rotated clockwise, and the second selection lever 97 is cut and bent at the portion 94c. The slide plate 94 is slid to the right. At this time,
The spare side second selection lever 97 'is rotated clockwise by the cut-and-bend portion 94c' of the slide plate 94, but the spare side first selection lever 96 'does not move at all, so the slide plate 94 is moved to the right. Does not hinder sliding.

In this way, when the slide plate 94 moves to the right, the selection shaft 95 mounted on the slide plate 94 slides along the long groove 72a of the operation link 72 to move the operation link 72 around the shaft 71 in a clockwise direction. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the operation link shaft 73 attached to the operation link 72 is moved to a position where it can be engaged with the engaging portion 75a of the operation arm 75. In this state, the tip of the movable rod 84 rotates the deflection plate 101 counterclockwise, and the deflection plate 101 slides the closing slide 102 rightward via the closing slide protrusion 112. When the movable iron core 83 is further moved, the closing slide 102 is slid rightward as shown in FIG.
13, the spring releasing arm 105 equipped with the roller 113 is pressed and rotated counterclockwise together with the closing link shaft 54.

As shown in FIG. 11, the closing link shaft 54
When is rotated counterclockwise together with the second closing link 55, the first closing link 52 and the charge latch receiving shaft 51 are rotated clockwise through the pin 56. For this,
The semicircular portion of the charge latch receiving shaft 51 and the charge latch 50 are disengaged, and the charge latch 50 is rotated clockwise by the stored force of the closing spring 26 that is restrained by the stored force holding roller 48. The charge latch 50 and the stored force holding roller 48 are disengaged, and the storing force causes the closing cam 31 to rotate clockwise while pressing the closing holding roller 59 by the peripheral edge 31a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the closing holding roller 59 causes the peripheral edge 3 of the closing cam 31 to move.
As it moves from 1a to the maximum radius peripheral edge 31b, the closing shaft 58 is rotated counterclockwise.

At this time, the second closing arm 116 is rotated counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 15 together with the closing shaft 58, and the small diameter portion 73a of the operation link shaft 73 is moved via the operation link 72 to the operation link shaft guide 79. Guided by the narrow groove 79a, the operation link shaft 73 is moved downward to the state shown in FIG. When the operation link shaft 73 is moved downward,
The operation link shaft 73 is the engagement part 7 of the operation arm 75 on the regular side.
5a and the cross bar 16 together with the operation arm 75.
Is rotated counterclockwise around the fixed rotation shaft 76. As a result of this rotation, as shown in FIG.
The arm 15 on which is mounted is rotated counterclockwise together with the first toggle link 14 via the pin 23, and the movable contactor support member 12 is fixed to the fixed rotation shaft 18 via the second toggle link 13. When the movable contact 6 of the movable contact 7 mounted on the movable contact support member 12 is rotated clockwise, the movable contact 6 comes into contact with the fixed contact 4 and enters the closed state.

In this closing process, as shown in FIG. 11, when the first closing arm 57 is rotated counterclockwise, the closing holding latch 32 is also rotated counterclockwise by the latch spring 63. Once, as shown in FIG. 10, the closing holding latch 32 is moved to a position slightly below the closing holding latch receiving shaft 64. Further, the closing cam 31 is rotated so that the closing holding roller 59 moves the closing cam 3 as shown in FIG.
When the first closing arm 57 tries to rotate in the clockwise direction due to the stored force of the opening assisting spring 61 and the breaking spring 24, when the first closing arm 57 deviates from the maximum radius peripheral edge 31b of 1, the closing holding roller 59 and the closing holding latch 32. The semicircular portion of the closing and holding latch receiving shaft 64 is engaged, and the operation of the first closing arm 57 is stopped to enter the closing state. Even when the contact on one side is closed, the closing force of the closing spring 26 can be stored by the throwing force storing mechanism D, so that it is possible to stand by so as to switch to the other side at any time.

Next, the contact opening operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, in the contact opening operation, first, the tripping electromagnet 67 is activated by an electrical opening command to move the tripping rod 68 to the right, and the tip of the tripping rod 68 opens the opening piece. 65 is rotated by pressing, and the closing holding latch receiving shaft 64 is rotated clockwise. This pressing rotation of the opening piece 65 can also be performed by operating the manual trip button 69 instead of the tripping electromagnet 67. As a result, the closing and holding latch receiving shaft 64 is disengaged from the closing and holding latch 32, and the closing and holding latch 32 becomes rotatable. Therefore, the first closing arm 57 is rotated clockwise together with the closing shaft 58 by the urging force of the opening assisting spring 61 and the breaking spring 24 of the contact mechanism A. At this time, the closing holding latch 32 is also rotated clockwise through the closing holding roller 59.

As shown in FIG. 12, the input shaft 58.
When is rotated clockwise, the second closing arm 116 is also rotated clockwise, and the operation link shaft 73 is engaged with the engaging portion 75a of the operation arm 75 via the operation link 72, so that the operation arm Rotate 75 clockwise and move it upward. Since the crossbar 16 is also rotated clockwise by the clockwise rotation of the operation arm 75, as shown in FIG. 6, the first toggle link 14 is rotated clockwise via the arm 15 and the pin 23. When the movable contactor support member 1 is rotated through the shaft 19, the second toggle link 13, and the shaft 17, the movable contactor support member 1 is rotated.
2 is rotated counterclockwise. For this reason, the movable contactor 7 coupled to the movable contactor support member 12 is rotated counterclockwise, and the movable contact 6 provided on the movable contactor 7 is opened from the fixed contactor 5. It becomes a state.

[0039]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if a closing operation is further performed on the contact mechanism on the already closed side, the energizing force of the closing spring is not released, so that the opening / closing operation is performed. It is possible to prevent the "dry hitting" operation that applies excessive mechanical shock to the switch, and further improve the durability of the switch.
