DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION



[0028] The specific implementations of a contact system, a contact unit and an isolation switch of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments given in the accompanying drawings. The contact system, the contact unit and the isolation switch of the present invention are not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1-7 and 17, an isolation switch includes an operating module b and a contact module a driven by the operating module b. The operating module b is laminated with the contact module a. One end of an operating mechanism 21 is in driving connection with the contact module a as a driving end, and the other end of the operating mechanism 21 extends out of the module housing 20 as an operating end and used for driving from the outside. The contact module a includes at least one layer of contact units 1. Each contact unit 1 includes a shell 10. A contact system and a wiring assembly 13 that are connected to each other are assembled in the shell 10. The contact system is driven by the driving end to be opened and closed. The wiring assembly 13 is used for external wiring in conjunction with a wiring groove 10121 formed in a side wall of the shell 10. When the contact module a includes two or more contact units 1, the adjacent two contact units 1 are laminated, and the driving end may penetrate through the contact module a and is in linkage connection with each contact system, or may also be connected to the contact system of the adjacent contact unit 1, and the contact systems of the remaining contact units 1 are in linkage connection with each other so as to be opened and closed synchronously.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5-8, 10 and 19-21, the contact system includes a moving contact assembly 11 which is assembled rotatably and a pair of static contact assemblies matched with the moving contact assembly 11. The moving contact assembly 11 includes an arc isolation portion 110 and a moving contact bridge 111 which are rotatably matched with the shell 10. The pair of static contact assemblies are respectively arranged on both sides of the moving contact assembly 11 (the arc isolation portion 110) and are connected to the wiring assemblies 13 respectively. A contact groove 1103 is formed in the arc isolation portion 110. A pair of moving contact portions 112 are arranged in the contact groove 1103. Each static contact assembly includes a static contact portion 120 extending into the contact groove 1103. The arc isolation portion 110 rotates and drives the pair of moving contact portions 112 to be in contact with or separated from the static contact portion 120 in the contact groove 1103. As shown in FIG. 10, in the present embodiment, the arc isolation portion 110 includes a first arc isolation plate 1101 and a second arc isolation plate 1102 spaced oppositely. A gap as the contact groove 1103 is arranged between an edge of the first arc isolation plate 1101 and an edge of the second arc isolation plate 1102. The moving contact bridge 111 is fixed between the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 and rotates with the arc isolation portion 110. The pair of moving contact portions 112 at both ends of the moving contact bridge 111 extend into the contact groove 1103. The moving contact portion 112 includes two first conductive sheets 1121 arranged at intervals (FIG. 14). The static contact portion 120, the first conductive sheet 1121 and an end face (i.e., a surface parallel to a radial section of the arc isolation portion 110) of the arc isolation portion 110 are approximately parallel. A driving end of the operating module b drives the moving contact assembly 11 to rotate in the shell 10, so that the pair of moving contact portions 112 are respectively in contact with or separated from the static contact portions 120 of a pair of static contact assemblies, so that the contact system can be opened or closed. That is, when the moving contact portion 112 is in contact with the static contact portion 120, the static contact portion 120 is plugged into the gap between the two first conductive sheets 1121, and the static contact portion 120 is clamped by the two first conductive sheets 1121 which return to an original state when they are separated.

[0031] An improvement point of the present application lies in that a pair of mounting grooves 1104 which are communicated with the contact groove 1103 are formed in an edge of the arc isolation portion 110, and each mounting groove 1104 is at least reserved with a notch for the static contact portion 120 to be placed on an end surface of the arc isolation portion 110. Each static contact portion 120 can be transferred from the mounting groove 1104 to the contact groove 1103 with the rotation of the arc isolation portion 110 and is used for cooperating with the moving contact portion 112. By means of such structure, when the contact system is assembled, the static contact portion 120 of the static contact assembly is arranged correspondingly from the notch and is placed in the contact groove 1103 at an appropriate angle without lifting the moving contact portion 120, which simplifies the step of assembling the contact system, is convenient in operation, can achieve automatic assembly and is conducive to reducing the cost.

[0032] Preferably, each mounting groove 1104 is reserved with a notch on two end surfaces of the arc isolation portion 110 respectively, so that the assembly process of the static contact assembly and the assembly process of the moving contact assembly 11 can be ordered randomly, which further simplifies the assembly process of the contact system. That is, when the mounting groove 1104 only reverses a notch on one end surface of the arc isolation portion 110, the contact system needs to be loaded into the shell 10 step by step during assembly. For example, when the notch is located on the upper end surface of the arc isolation portion 110, the moving contact assembly 11 needs to be assembled first, and the static contact portion 120 of the static contact assembly is then loaded from the notch. When the notch is located on the lower end surface of the arc isolation portion 110, the static contact assembly needs to be loaded first, and then the notch of the mounting groove 1104 is mounted corresponding to the static contact portion 120 of the static contact assembly. In addition, when the notches of the two mounting grooves 1104 correspond to different end surfaces, the contact system is assembled such that one static contact assembly is assembled first, then the moving contact assembly 11 is assembled, and finally the other static contact assembly is loaded. Through the above-mentioned arrangement of the mounting groove 1104, the static contact portion 120 can extend into the arc isolation portion 110 to separate arcs, and the assembly efficiency of the contact system is improved.

[0033] Preferably, at least two first positioning portions 11012 are arranged at one end of the arc isolation portion 110, and preferably, the two first positioning portions 11012 are symmetrical about an axis of the arc isolation portion 110, which is conducive to ensuring uniform stress. Of course, the number of the first positioning portions 11012 may also be more than two. At least two second positioning portions 11013 are arranged at the other end of the arc isolation portion 110. The second positioning portions 11013 are connected to the first positioning portions 11012 of the arc isolation portions 110 in the adjacent moving contact assemblies 11 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The connection mode may adopt screw fastening connection or corresponding pluggable connection. The first positioning portions 11012 and the second positioning portions 11013 are respectively located on both sides of the axis, thereby improving the rotation synchronization and positioning of the adjacent two moving contact assemblies 11.

[0034] Further, each contact unit 1 further includes at least one arc extinguishing chamber 14. The number of grids of the arc extinguishing chamber 14 is selected cooperatively according to a current magnitude. An arc generated when the arc extinguishing contact system is opened is extinguished cooperatively by the arc extinguishing chamber 14. Of course, the arc extinguishing chamber 14 may also not be arranged. Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 5-8 and 19-21, each contact unit 1 includes a pair of arc extinguishing chambers 14. The arc extinguishing chambers 14 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the moving contact assemblies 11 and a pair of arc extinguishing chambers 14 form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the moving contact assemblies 11. Each arc extinguishing chamber 14 is located between the static contact portion 120 and the moving contact portion 112 in an opening position, that is, on the outer side of a motion trajectory of the moving contact portion 112. Therefore, the arc generated when the moving contact assembly 11 and a pair of static contact assemblies are opened is respectively extinguished cooperatively by one arc extinguishing chamber 14, thereby improving the use safety.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, an arc extinguishing groove 1017 and an assembling groove 1012 which are used for mounting the arc extinguishing chamber 14 and the static contact assembly are located in the shell 10 respectively, and the arc extinguishing groove 1017 is communicated with the assembling groove 1012. Preferably, a ventilation hole 10172 is formed between the arc extinguishing chamber 14 and the assembling groove 1012. At this time, the arc extinguishing groove 1017, the assembling groove 1012 and the wiring groove 10121 matched with the wiring assembly 13 are kept communicated. Therefore, a high-temperature gas of the arc extinguishing chamber 14 is discharged sequentially through the arc extinguishing groove 1017, the assembling groove 1012 and the wiring groove 10121, and less space in the shell 10 is occupied. Further, one end of the assembling groove 1012 opposite to the ventilation hole 10172 is enclosed by the arc isolation rib 10171 (see FIGS. 9 and 22). The arc isolation rib 10171 is used for preventing the high-temperature gas of the arc extinguishing chamber 14 from burning the moving contact portion 112 in an opening position.

[0036] A first embodiment of an isolation switch is provided in conjunction with FIGS. 1-16.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the isolation switch includes an operating module b and a contact module a that are laminated. The operating module b includes a module housing 20 and an operating mechanism 21 arranged in the module housing 20. A driving end of the operating mechanism 21 is in linkage connection with the contact module a. An operating end of the operating mechanism 21 extends out of the module housing 20 and is used for driving the operating mechanism 21 from the outside. The operating end is connected to a knob that is an operating member 22. The prior art is adopted in the driving connection between the operating mechanism 21 and the contact module a in the present embodiment.

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5-8, the contact module a includes four contact units 1 laminated in sequence. Each contact unit 1 includes a shell 10, and a contact system, two wiring assemblies 13 and two sets of arc extinguishing chambers 14 arranged in the shell 10. The contact system includes a moving contact assembly 11 and a pair of static contact assemblies, wherein the moving contact assembly 11 is rotatably assembled in the middle of the shell 10. The driving end drives the moving contact assembly 11 to rotate around its axis. The pair of static contact assemblies are respectively arranged on opposite two sides of the moving contact assembly 11. Preferably, each static contact assembly is connected to a set of wiring assemblies 13, and the wiring assemblies 13 are cooperatively wired with the static contact assemblies. Each set of static contact assemblies and the wiring assemblies 13 cooperate with the wiring groove 10121 that is formed in the side wall of the shell 10 for electrifying. Of course, the static contact assemblies may be directly wired to the outside. The two arc extinguishing chambers 14 are respectively arranged in a circumferential direction of the moving contact assembly 11 and form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the moving contact assembly 11.

[0039] Specifically, the shell 10 as shown in FIGS. 5-9 includes a rectangular base. An assembling cavity for assembling the contact system, the wiring assembly 13 and the arc extinguishing chamber 14 is formed on one side of the base. Of course, the shell 10 may also include an upper cover covering the base, so that the shell 10 has an enclosed structure. The assembling cavity is formed by an internal space of the shell 10. Two opposite side walls of the base are each provided with one wiring groove 10121 into which a conductor is plugged. In FIGS. 6-9, the two wiring grooves 10121 are respectively located at positions of the base close to corners. A side wall adjacent to each wiring groove 10121 is provided with an operating hole 10122 into which a wiring screw 131 is screwed. A circular rotating groove 1011 is formed in the middle of the base. The moving contact assembly 11 is rotatably assembled in the rotating groove 1011. The assembling grooves 1012 are respectively formed in opposite two sides of the rotating groove 1011 respectively. A pair of static contact assemblies are respectively assembled in the two assembling grooves 1012. The wiring assemblies 13 connected to the static contact assemblies are also assembled in the assembling groove 1012 and opposite to the wiring groove 10121.

[0040] In FIG. 9, the assembling grooves 1012 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the base, and one end of each assembling groove 1012 is communicated with the adjacent wiring groove 10121 and the operating hole 10122 respectively, so that one end of the assembling groove 1012 is communicated with the outside of the shell 10, and the two wiring grooves 10121 form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the rotating groove 1011. Each wiring groove 10121 is communicated with one end of the assembling groove 1012. A pair of arc extinguishing grooves 1017 are formed in a circumferential direction of the rotating groove 1011. Each arc extinguishing groove 1017 is adjacent to and communicated with one assembling groove 1012 respectively. That is, the ventilation hole 10172 is formed in one side wall shared by the arc extinguishing groove 1017 and the assembling groove 1012. In addition, in the two adjacent laminated bases, the wiring grooves 10121 (the operating holes 10122) located on the same side are staggered to avoid mutual influence between conductors connected to the adjacent contact modules a. In the present embodiment, the wiring grooves 10121 that are located on the same side of the adj acent bases are respectively located at both ends of the contact module a. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a first layer to a fourth layer are sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The wiring grooves 10121 in the first and third layers are located at the left end of the contact module a, and the wiring grooves 10121 in the second layer and the fourth layer are located at the right end of the contact module a. Of course, as other inferior embodiments, the wiring grooves 10121 of the adjacent contact modules a may also be aligned.

[0041] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5, 7, 8 and 10, the moving contact assembly 11 includes an arc isolation portion 110. The arc isolation portion 110 may be of an integrated structure or a split structure. The arc isolation portion 110 is rotatable fit with the shell 10 (base). A contact groove 1103 is formed in the arc isolation portion 110 in a radial direction. A mounting groove 1104 communicated with the contact groove 1103 is formed in an edge of the arc isolation portion 110. Preferably, the mounting groove 1104 is a through groove. At this moment, the mounting groove 1104 penetrates through the contact groove 1103 in an axis direction parallel to the arc isolation portion 110. The mounting groove 1104 is correspondingly reserved with a notch at two end surfaces of the arc isolation portion 110 respectively. The shape of the notch preferably matches the shape of the static contact portion 120 of the static contact assembly. When the contact assembly is assembled, the moving contact assembly 11 and a pair of static contact portions 120 can be avoided through the notch. The static contact portion 120 can be transferred from the mounting groove 1104 into the contact groove 1103 and cooperates with the moving contact portion 112, such that the assembling step is simplified.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 10, a pair of moving contact portions 112 are arranged in the contact groove 1103. Preferably, each moving contact portion 112 is located in the contact groove 1103 between the two mounting grooves 1104, and a pair of moving contact portions 112 form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the axis of the arc isolation portion 110. The moving contact portion 112 avoids the position of the mounting groove 1104, so that the moving contact portion 112 and the static contact portion 120 are in contact fit in the contact groove 1103, thereby improving the operation safety. Further, a pair of moving contact portions 112 are formed at both ends of the moving contact bridge 111, which simplifies the structure and improves the rotational synchronization of the pair of moving contact portions 112. Preferably, a mounting cavity 1106 for assembling the moving contact bridge 111 is arranged in the middle of the arc isolation portion 110 in a radial direction. The mounting cavity 1106 radially penetrates through the arc isolation portion 110. Both ends of the mounting cavity 1106 are communicated with the contact groove 1103 respectively. At this moment, the moving contact portion 112 is located at a junction between the mounting cavity 1106 and the contact groove 1103, and the moving contact bridge 111 is limited inside, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0043] Preferably, the arc isolation portions 110 of the adjacent two contact units 1 are in pluggable fit with each other. A rotary supporting portion 1105 is arranged at an axial end of each arc isolation portion 110, at least two first positioning portions 11012 are arranged at one end of the rotary supporting portion 1105, and the first positioning portions 11012 are symmetrical with respect to an axis of the rotary supporting portion. In this way, every two first positioning portions 11012 are arranged in pairs, which can ensure uniform stress. At least two second positioning portions 11013 are arranged at the other end of the same arc isolation portion 110. The second positioning portions 11013 are in pluggable fit with the first positioning portions 11012 of the adjacent arc isolation portions 110 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. In this way, the first positioning portions 11012 and the second positioning portions 11013 are respectively located on both sides of the axis, such that the rotational synchronization and the positioning of the adj acent two moving contact assemblies 11 are improved. Under the condition of the same rotational torque, rotary driving force arms of the adjacent two layers of contact units 1 are lengthened, which is more conducive to synchronous rotation.

[0044] Combining FIGS. 5-8 and 10-15, a specific structure of a moving contact assembly 11 is provided. The moving contact assembly 11 includes an arc isolation portion 110 and a moving contact bridge 111 arranged in a radial direction of the arc isolation portion 110.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 10-15, the arc isolation portion 110 includes a circular first arc isolation plate 1101 and a second arc isolation plate 1102. The first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 are spaced oppositely. A gap as the contact groove 1103 is reserved between an edge of the first arc isolation plate 1101 and an edge of the second arc isolation plate 1102. A pair of first notch grooves 11011 are respectively formed in the edges on both sides of the first arc isolation plate 1101. A pair of second notch grooves 11021 are respectively formed in the edges on both sides of the second arc isolation plate 1102. Each first notch groove 11011 forms a mounting groove 1104 which corresponds to one second notch groove 11021. In FIGS. 10-13, the first notch groove 11011 and the second notch groove 11021 are both sector-shaped notches.

[0046] Preferably, the first arc isolation plate 1101 is in pluggable fit with the second arc isolation plate 1102, so that the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 are assembled as a whole. A circular boss is formed in the middle of a plate surface on one side of the first arc isolation plate 1101 in a protruding manner. The circular boss is rotatably assembled in the rotating groove 1011 of the base as the rotary supporting portion 1105. Two jacks as the first positioning portions 11012 are formed in an end surface of the rotary supporting portion 1105. The two first positioning portions 11012 form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the axis of the first arc isolation plate 1101 respectively. Two convex shafts are arranged on one side of the first arc isolation plate 1101 away from the rotary supporting portion 1105 in a protruding manner. The two convex shafts are used as the second positioning portions 11013. A plate surface of each second arc isolation plate 1102 is provided with two through holes 11022, so that the two second positioning portions 11013 correspondingly penetrate through the through holes 11022 of the second arc isolation plates 1102 respectively and are in pluggable fit with the first positioning portions 11012 of the adjacent arc isolation portions 110, wherein the shape of the first positioning portion 11012 and the shape of the through hole 11022 match a cross-sectional shape of the second positioning portion 11013, and the number of the first positioning portions 11012, the number of the through holes 11022 and the number of the second positioning portions 11013 also match with each other.

[0047] In the present embodiment, the moving contact bridge 111 is assembled between the two second positioning portions 11013 in a limited manner, and the first arc isolation plates 1101 and the second arc isolation plates 1102 which are in pluggable fit with each other are conducive to clamping the moving contact bridge 111.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 10-15, a mounting cavity 1106 for assembling the moving contact bridge 111 is formed between the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation 1102. A groove arranged in a radial direction is formed in a plate surface of the first arc isolation plate 1101 and/or the second arc isolation plate 1102. After the first arc isolation plate 1101 is in pluggable fit with the second arc isolation plate 1102, a radial groove correspondingly forms the mounting cavity 1106. The mounting cavity 1106 passes between the two second positioning portions 11013. The moving contact bridge 111 is mounted in the mounting cavity 1106 in a limited manner. Further, a foolproof structure may be arranged between a side wall of the mounting cavity 1106 and the moving contact bridge 111. The foolproof structure includes a foolproof protrusion 11061 (FIGS. 12 and 13) and a foolproof groove 1114 (FIG. 14) that cooperate with each other, so that the moving contact bridge 111 can be located and the moving contact bridge 111 can be prevented from being mounted in a staggering manner.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a plate surface of the first arc isolation plate 1101 between the two second positioning portions 11013 is provided with a radial groove. The foolproof protrusions 11061 are arranged on two side walls of the radial groove in a protruding manner. The foolproof protrusions 11061 in the present embodiment are rotationally symmetrical with respect to the axis of the first arc isolation plate 1101. Correspondingly, a radial groove is also arranged between the two through holes 11022 of the second arc isolation plate 1102. When the two second positioning portions 11013 are in pluggable fit with the two through holes 11022, the radial grooves of the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 are docked to form the mounting cavity 1106 for assembling the moving contact bridge 111. Preferably, a side wall of the radial groove of the second arc isolation plate 1102 is also provided with a foolproof protrusion 11061 in a protruding manner, but the foolproof protrusion 11061 located on the second arc isolation plate 1102 does not completely correspond to the foolproof protrusion 11061 located on the first arc isolation plate 1101, so that the moving contact bridge 111 is limited from all directions and clamped in the mounting cavity 1106. Of course, the moving contact bridge 111 may also be limited in the mounting cavity 1106 in other ways.

[0050] Further, a clamping structure is further arranged between the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102. The clamping structure includes a buckle 11071 and a clamping groove 11072 that match each other. The clamping structure can further improve the plugging stability of the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102, which is also conducive to the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 to clamp the moving contact bridge 111. As shown in FIGS. 10, 12 and 13, two clamping grooves 11072 are formed in both sides outside the radial groove of the first arc isolation plate 1101. Correspondingly, two buckles 11071 are arranged on both sides outside the radial groove of the second arc isolation plate 1102, and preferably, the two buckles 11071 (two clamping grooves 11072) are preferably formed with respect to the axis of the arc isolation portion 110 to form a rotationally symmetrical structure. Of course, the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102 may also be fixedly connected through screws.

[0051] As another embodiment, when the arc isolation portion 110 is of an integral structure, the contact groove 1103 is a circumferential side wall surrounding the arc isolation portion 110, the mounting cavity 1106 penetrates through the arc isolation portion 110 in a radial direction and is communicated with the contact groove 1103. The first positioning portion 11012 and the second positioning portion 11013 are correspondingly arranged at two axial ends of the arc isolation portion 110. At this moment, the arc isolation portion 110 does not have a through hole 11022 and a clamping structure, and a foolproof structure may not be arranged between the moving contact bridge 111 and the mounting cavity 1106.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the moving contact bridge 111 includes two first conductive plates 1111. Both ends of each first conductive plate 1111 are respectively bent outward to form a first conductive sheet 1121. The first conductive sheet 1121 and the first conductive plate 1111 are basically parallel and located in different planes. The two first conductive sheets 1121 at the same end of the two first conductive plates 1111 are spaced oppositely to form the moving contact portions 112 that can clamp the static contact portion 120. The two first conductive sheets 1121 have elasticity to clamp the static contact portion 120 of the static contact assembly. The middle parts of the two first conductive plates 1111 are connected, and a foolproof groove 1114 matched with the foolproof protrusion 11061 is formed in a side edge of each first conductive plate 1111. In FIGS. 12 and 13, a protruding portion of the foolproof protrusion 11061 is arc-shaped. Correspondingly, the foolproof groove 1114 is an arc-shaped groove. In the present embodiment, the end surfaces of the first conductive sheet 1121 and the arc isolation portion 110 are nearly parallel, that is, nearly parallel to the first arc isolation plate 1101 and the second arc isolation plate 1102. Preferably, a plug-in structure is arranged between the two first conductive plates 1111. The plug-in structure includes a mounting boss 1112 and a mounting groove 1113 that match each other. In this way, the two first conductive plates 1111 can be quickly and easily connected as a whole. In FIGS. 14 and 15, a mounting boss 1112 and a mounting groove 1113 are arranged in the middle of each first conductive plate 1111 respectively.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the static contact assembly includes a conductive plate arranged in the assembling groove 1012. One end of the conductive plate is matched with the wiring groove 10121 arranged on the side wall of the shell 10 for wiring. An edge of the plate surface of the conductive plate away from the wiring groove 10121 protrudes outward to form the static contact portion 120. The static contact portion 120 is located in the same plane as the conductive plate. The static contact portion 120 is of an overall plate-shaped structure, and the static contact portion 120 is parallel to the first conductive sheet 1121, and may be plugged as the elastic contact (i.e., elastic clamping) between the two first conductive sheets 1121 of the moving contact portion 112. In addition, in the present embodiment, the static contact portion 120 is V-shaped as a whole, occupies a small space, is convenient to cooperate with the mounting groove 1104 and is conducive to contact fit with the moving contact portion 112.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5-8 and 16, the conductive plate in the present embodiment is a V-shaped second conductive plate 121. The middle part of the second conductive plate 121 is used as the static contact portion 120. Both ends of the second conductive plate 121 are bent and extend respectively to form a pair of wiring plates 1211 which are spaced oppositely. Preferably, the plate surface of each wiring plate 1211 is preferably perpendicular to the plate surface of the second conductive plate 121, and a wiring hole 1212 is formed in the middle of each wiring plate 1211. The static contact assembly is mounted in the assembling groove 1012. The V-shaped static contact portion 120 corresponds to a sector-shaped notch of the arc isolation portion 11. The wiring plate 1211 is adjacent to the wiring groove 10121. The wiring hole 1212 is coaxial with the operating hole 10122.

[0055] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5-8, each static contact assembly is connected to a set of wiring assemblies 13. The wiring assembly 13 includes a wiring screw 131. The wiring screw 131 is assembled with a crimping plate 132. The crimping plate 132 is parallel and opposite to the wiring plate 1211. The wiring hole 1212, the wiring screw 131 and the operating hole 10122 are coaxial, so that the wiring screw 131 can be operated conveniently to move in the assembling groove 1012, and a central axis of the wiring groove 10121 is perpendicular to a central axis of the wiring hole 1212. Obviously, the wiring assembly 13 may also adopt other wiring structures, such as a structure with a wiring base and a wiring screw, or a plug-in wiring structure with a wire clamp, etc.

[0056] An arc extinguishing chamber 14 is assembled in each arc extinguishing groove 1017, so that a pair of arc extinguishing chambers 14 are arranged in a circumferential direction of the moving contact assembly 11 and the arc extinguishing chamber 14 is located between the static contact portion 120 and the moving contact portion 112 in the opening position. The two arc extinguishing chambers 14 form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the moving contact assembly 11. An arc generated by the breaking of the contact system is extinguished by the arc extinguishing chamber 14. A high-temperature gas of the arc extinguishing chamber 14 flows through the assembling groove 1012 through the ventilation hole 10172 and is then discharged from the wiring groove 10121. In the present embodiment, the high-temperature gas may also be discharged from the operating hole 10122. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, in the present embodiment, one end of the arc extinguishing groove 1017 opposite to the ventilation hole 10172 is enclosed by an arc isolation rib 10171, so that the arc isolation rib 10171 is used to prevent the high-temperature gas of the arc extinguishing chamber 14 from burning the moving contact assembly 11 in the opening position.

[0057] In conjunction with FIGS. 10-15 and 17-23, a second embodiment of an isolation switch is provided.

The two arc extinguishing chambers 14 are respectively arranged in a circumferential direction of the moving contact assembly 11 and form a rotationally symmetrical structure with respect to the moving contact assembly 11.

[0058] The shell 10 includes a rectangular base. As shown in FIGS. 17-22 specifically, an assembling cavity for assembling the contact system and the arc extinguishing chamber 14 is formed on one side of the base. A circular rotating groove 1011 is formed in the middle of the base and used for installing the moving contact assembly 11.
