Definitions
- This invention relates to an electric switch and, more particularly, to an electric switch of the type comprising an elongated switch blade which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis for the purpose of establishing high pressure contact between the switch blade and a cooperating stationary contact.
- the blade of such a switch in addition to being rotatably-mounted is also pivotally-mounted for swinging movement with respect to the stationary contact so as to provide for effective contact isolation.
- the most convenient source of power from which to obtain the forces necessary to produce this combination of rotary and swinging motions is usually a verticallyextending, rotatable operating shaft.
- U. S. Patent No. 2,531,165 issued to E. Scheuerrneyer and assigned to the assignee of this invention.
- an operating shaft which extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the switch blade when in its closed circuit position. Coupled to the operating shaft is a radially extending crank which is movable in an arc the major portion of which is located at a side of said operating shaft generally opposite to the location of said switch blade.
- a swivel link pivotally connected at one of its ends to said crank.
- the other end of said swivel link is interconnected to the switch blade by means of a mechanism which is operable to effect rotation of said blade vin response to movement of said crank through and adjacent a dead center position with respect to said Such mecha- ⁇ swivel link and which is operable to effect swinging movement of said blade in response to movement of said crank through the remainder of its arc.
- the swivel link is constructed as a resiliently extensible member having sections which are movable relative to each other to permit blade-rotating forces to be transmitted through the link to the switch blade.
- means are provided for positively limiting the elongation of said extensible link in response to movement of said crank into its dead center position. This latter feature insures that mechanism will positively position the switch blade within the stationary contact before the blade is rotated into high pressure engagement therewith.
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view alongk the line 3 3 of Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view along the line 4 4 of Fig. 3;
- Fig. 5 is a cross -sectional View taken along the line 5 5 of Fig. 3;
- Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line 6 6 of Fig. l and showing the switch blade in different positions withi the stationary contact.
- a single-pole, outdoor grounding switch 10 which is utilized for connecting and disconnecting a stationary contact 12 and a grounded terminal 14a.
- the switch is mounted on a grounded framework 14, which carries a vertically extending stack of insulators 13, at the top of which the stationary contact 12 isY mounted.
- the switch 10 comprises an elongated switch blade 15 which is pivotally-mounted about an axis 16 for swinging movement into and out of a circuit-closing position within the stationary contact 12.
- the solid lines of Fig. 1 illustrate the position ofthe blade when in such a circuit-closing position, and the dotted lines illustrate the position of the blade when in a fully-open position.
- the blade 15 is also mounted for rotation about its own longitudinal axis. As is well known in this art, this blade rotation enables the flattened end 18 of the blade to fracture any ice which may be formed upon the stationary contact and to establish a high pressure Contact between the switch blade and the stationary contact. The manner in which blade rotation establishes this high pressure contact is perhaps best illustrated in Fig. 6 wherein the flattened end 18 of the blade is shown seated between the usual resilient jaws 19 of the stationary contact 12. For a closing operation,
- ' blade 15 is mounted for rotary and swinging movement
- FIG. 3 the blade 1S is shown journalled for rotation in a housing, or support, 5.
- This housing 5 which rotatably carries the switch blade, is shown pivotally-mounted on a pair of aligned pins 6 forming the pivot axis ⁇ 16. These pins 6 are xed to a rigid U-shaped bracket 7 which, in turn, is suitably secured to the grounded terminal 14a and the framework 14. Thus, when the housing is swung about the pivot pins 6, a corresponding swinging movement is transmitted to the blade 15.
- a U-shaped contact 8 suitably pressed into engagement with the cylindrical surface of the switch blade by springs 9.
- This contact arrangement forms no part of the present invention and simply acts to maintain an electrical connection between the bracket 7 and the blade4 15 for all positions of the blade. Such an arrangement is described in greater detail in the above-mentioned Scheuerrneyer patent.
- an operating mechanism 20 which is driven by a vertically-extending. operating shaft 2'1 suitably journalled upon the stationary framework 14. This shaft ⁇ 21 may be actuated either manually or by suitable power means such as an electric motor.
- the operating mechanism 20 comprises a crank 22 ⁇ rigidly coupled to the shaft 21 and extending radially outwardly therefrom. At its outer radial end ⁇ the crank 22.
- swivel 24 carries a vertically-extending spindle 23 upon which is rotatably mounted a swivel 24 including a transversely projecting tongue 25.
- a resiliently extensible swivel link 26 having two relativelyrotatable and telescoping sections 28 and 30.
- a suitable compression spring 29 is disposed between a pair of stops 29a ⁇ and 29b respectively fixed to the sections 28 and 30. This spring continuously acts in a direction to shorten the swivelflink 26. Additional features of this extensible swivel link will soon be pointed out in greater detail.
- a yoke 31 Fixed to the telescoping section 28 is a yoke 31, which is pivotally joined to the tongue 25 by means of a suitable pivot pin 32.
- the outer end of the other telescoping section 30 is bifurcated to receiveV an intermediate crank 34 and is pivotally joined thereto by means of a suitable pivot pin 36.
- This intermediate crank 34 is keyed to an intermediate operating shaft 38 which is suitably journalled in the pivotally-mounted ⁇ blade housing 5. As will soon appear more clearly, rotation of this intermediate shaft 38, which extends transversely relative to.
- the switch blade 15 produces rotation of the switch blade, whereas bodily movement of the intermediate shaft is effective toswing the housing 5, and hence, the blade 15 about the ycommon pivot axis 16.
- a linkage 41 is provided within the housing 5.
- This linkage is best seen in Figs.f3 and 5 and comprises a driving arm 42 keyed to the itnermediate shaft 38and driven arms 43 andV 44A pinned tothe switch blade 15.
- the driving and ⁇ driven arms are interconnected by a link 45 universally con- ⁇ nected at opposite ends to the arms. More specifically, thislink 45 is slotted in mutually perpendicular planes at its opposite ends. The slot at one of these ends receives a flattened tongue portion 46 of a pin 47, which is suitably mounted for free rotation within an aperture formed in the outer end ⁇ ofthe driving arm 42.
- This rod 49 extends between the driven arms 43 and ⁇ 44 and is rotatably mounted in suitable registering apertures formed in the drivenarrns.
- a pin 50, ⁇ which extends freely through registering apertures in the ⁇ rod 49 ⁇ and the link 45, pivotally interconnects the link 45 with the rod 49 and, hence, with the driven arms 43 ⁇ and44;
- This linkage 41 which has just been de- ⁇ scribed, not only converts the rotary motion of the shaftA 38 into switch blade rotation but also acts to amplify ⁇ this rotary motion, whereby rotation of the shaft 38 through a small arc drives the switch blade through a relatively large arc. This amplification is made possible by the relatively great effective length of the driving arm 42 in comparison to that of the driven arms 43, 44.
- this energy-storing means comprises a closed cylinder 55 pivotally supported on the frame 14 at 56 and carrying a piston rod 57 pivotally connected at 58 to the blade housing 5.
- suitable resilient means such as a spring 60.
- this extension of the swivel link may continue until the mechanism moves into its dead center position, but, at that instant, further extension is positively prevented. In the preferred form of my invention, this is accomplished by so dimensioning the spring 29 that it is compressed solid when the crank 22 moves into dead center position. Alternatively, this limiting action may be obtained by providing suitable stops for preventing further extension of the swivel link 26 when it moves through the dead center p osition.
- the spring 29 ⁇ would yield to cushion a portion of the resulting shock. If the obstruction is ⁇ not broken away after initial contact with the blade and, as a result, the movementof the blade is temporarily blocked, continued motion of the crank toward dead center position will quickly compress the spring 29 solid and cause the mechanism to positively drive the blade through the obstruction and into engagement with the stop 62. Rendering the swivel link 26 inextensible during movement through the dead center position insures that the blade,
- the main crank 22 When it is desired to open the switch, the main crank 22 is rotated in a reverse direction, i. e., counterclockwise from the position C to the position O (as seen in Fig. 2). Rotation of the crank from the position C to the dead center position returns the intermediate crank 34 to a vertical position. In'returning to its vertical position, the crank 34 rotates the intermediate shaft 3S, and, through the linkage 41, imparts reverse rotation to the switch blade 15. This reverse rotation of the switch blade moves the flattened end 18 into the solid line position of Fig. 5, where it is out of engagement with the contact jaws. Any ice which might have formed on the stationary contact ⁇ of the closed switch would be effectively broken away by this rotation of the flattened end 1S.
- this mechanism comprises (I) a crank 22 which is movable through an arc (between O and C) the major portion of which is disposed at a side of the operating shaft 21 generally opposed to the location of the switch blade; (II) a swivel link 26 connected at one of its ends to said crank; and (III) means 34, 38, 41 interconnecting the other end of said swivel link 26 and said switch blade and operable to effect rotation ofthe blade in response to movement of said crank through and adjacent a dead center position with respect to said swivel link.
- This latter means when acting through the pivotally-mounted blade housing 5, is also operable to effect swinging movement of the blade in response to movement of the crank 22 through the remainder of its arc.
- the abovementioned dead center position is located at a side of the operating shaft 21 which is generally yopposite to the location of the switch blade.
- the horizontal plane in which the swivel 24 moves is the level at which driving forces are applied to the swivel link 26. It will be apparent from Fig. 1 that this level is located vertically between the switch blade pivot axis 16 and the axis of the intermediate shaft 38 in the closed position. Because forces are ⁇ applied to the swivel link 26 at this particular level, the main crank 22 is effective both to raise the blade from its dotted line fully-open position of Fig. l and to apply a twisting force to the blade when it assumes its vertically extending position.
- switch having additional poles may be provided simply by mounting identical switch units in laterally-spaced relationship on the frame 14 and interconnecting these switch units for simultaneous, or group, operation.
- switch units we have shown an arm 66 projecting radially outward from the main operating shaft 21 and a coupling bar 67 pivotally connected to the outer end of the arm 66.
- the coupling bar would be identically connected to corresponding arms provided on corresponding switch units (not shown).
