Description

FIELD



[0001] Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of electrical devices, and more particularly, to an operation assembly for dual power supply switching and associated switching apparatus.

BACKGROUND



[0002] In some electric devices, to avoid device power failure caused by a power supply breakdown, devices are typically equipped with two groups of independent power supply sources, i.e., a common power supply and a standby power supply. These are managed by a dual power supply operation assembly to select an appropriate power supply to power the device.

[0003] However, for some devices with a large rated current, existing handle-type dual-power supply operation assemblies require a large manual operating force, which causes inconvenience for users to switch power supplies by using a switch device.

SUMMARY



[0004] In a first aspect of the present disclosure, an operation assembly for dual power supply switching is provided. The operation assembly comprises: a housing; a lock tongue adapted to swing between a first closing position and a second closing position; a pair of closing mechanisms symmetrically arranged on two sides of the lock tongue, and each closing mechanism comprising: a mounting shaft coupled to the housing and adapted to slide on the housing along an action direction; a lever adapted to push the lock tongue to swing towards the first closing position or the second closing position, and comprising: a fulcrum rotatably coupled to the mounting shaft to enable the lever to rotate around the mounting shaft; a first end arranged on one side of the fulcrum close to the lock tongue, and adapted to push the lock tongue to rotate to the first closing position or the second closing position during sliding of the lever with the mounting shaft from an initial position to an action position along the action direction; and a second end arranged at one side of the fulcrum away from the lock tongue and adapted to be pushed to drive the lever to rotate around the fulcrum in a first rotation direction to a avoidance position, so as to avoid swinging of the lock tongue towards the first closing position or the second closing position; and a compression spring arranged between the housing and the lever in a compressed manner and at least pushing the lever to slide along the action direction.

[0005] In some embodiments, a direction of a pushing force of the compression spring to the lever is deviated from the mounting shaft, so that the compression spring drives the lever to rotate around the mounting shaft in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction.

[0006] In some embodiments, the lever further comprises a limiting block, and wherein the housing is provided with an accommodating hole for accommodating the limiting block, and the accommodating hole comprises: a first wall configured to contact the limiting block during rotation of the lever in the second rotational direction and limit the rotation of the lever in the second rotational direction.

[0007] In some embodiments, the accommodating hole further comprises: a second wall arranged on one side of the limiting block facing away from the first wall, and adapted to contact the limiting block during rotation of the lever in the first rotation direction, and limit continued rotation of the lever in the first rotation direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises: a pair of operation mechanisms respectively coupled to the pair of closing mechanisms, and comprising: a push rod slidably coupled to the housing, and adapted to contact the second end of the lever when pressed down, and drive the lever to rotate around the mounting shaft to the avoidance position.

[0009] In some embodiments, the operation mechanism further comprises: a reset tension spring coupled between the housing and the push rod and providing a pulling force to the push rod, so as to drive the push rod to move in a direction away from the second end.

[0010] In some embodiments, the operation mechanism further comprises: a closing button coupled to a panel side of the housing and adapted to be pressed to drive the push rod to slide towards the first end.

[0011] In some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises: a tripping transmission assembly arranged on the housing and adapted to trigger a tripping component of the operation assembly, so that the lock tongue swings to a tripping position between the first closing position and the second closing position, wherein the tripping transmission assembly comprises: an operation rod rotatably coupled to the housing and adapted to be driven to rotate about a first axis and trigger the tripping component; and at least one transmission member coupled to the housing and in contact with the operation rod to drive the operation rod to rotate about the first axis.

[0012] In some embodiments, the at least one transmission member comprises a first transmission member and a second transmission member respectively rotatably coupled to the housing, one end of the first transmission member and one end of the second transmission member abut against each other, so that during rotation of the first transmission member, and the second transmission member rotates in an opposite direction and drives the operation rod to rotate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the tripping transmission assembly further comprises: a reset torsion spring arranged on the housing, with one end coupled to the first transmission member, and the other end coupled to the second transmission member.

[0014] In some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises: a tripping button coupled to the panel side of the housing and is adapted to be pressed to push an end of the first transmission member away from the second transmission and control the rotation of the first transmission member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises: a reset spring arranged between a panel of the housing and the tripping button.

[0016] After the closing button is pressed, the closing button pushes the push rod to slide. Further, the push rod drives a lever at a corresponding side to rotate, so that a first end of the lever avoids a lock tongue. With regard to the lock tongue, due to the avoidance of the lever on one side of the lock tongue, the lever on the other side of the lock tongue pushes the lock tongue to swing to a closing position (e. g. a first closing position or a second closing position), thereby realizing the switching of the operation assembly to different power supply. By means of the method, a user can control the closing of the operation assembly by press a button, thereby improving the convenience of operation, and at the same time, also improving the convenience of operation of the operation assembly.

[0017] In a second aspect of the present disclosure, a switching apparatus is provided. The switching apparatus comprises an operation assembly provided according to the first aspect of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION



[0020] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood, that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to embodiments set forth herein, but rather, these embodiments are provided for a thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0021] It should be noted that the headings of any section/subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout herein, and any type of embodiment can be included under any section/subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section/subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiments described in the same section/subsection and/or different sections/subsections.

[0022] In the description of embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and the like should be understood as open-ended including, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be read as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be read as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or identical objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0023] As mentioned briefly above, existing dual power operation assemblies for high current devices are mostly handle-type. These operation assemblies require significant operational force, making it difficult for users to switch the handle to a desired state when users use the operation assemblies. Additionally, due to a relatively large elastic action force of the handle, when the handle is swung to a critical position, the handle easily swings to a desired position quickly under the action of an elastic force inside the operation assembly, which can easily cause user injury.

[0024] To solve or at least partially solve the described problems or other potential problems existing in the conventional solution, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an operation assembly for dual power supply switching and associated switching apparatus. Closing and tripping of the operation assembly can be controlled by press a button. A user can push a closing button, and the closing button pushes a push rod to slide. Further, the push rod drives a lever at a corresponding side to rotate, so that a first end of the lever avoids a lock tongue. With regard to the lock tongue, due to the avoidance of the lever on one side of the lock tongue, the lever on the other side of the lock tongue pushes the lock tongue to swing to a closing position (e. g. a first closing position or a second closing position), thereby realizing the switching of the operation assembly to different power supply. In this way, a user can control the closing of the operation assembly by press a button, thereby improving the convenience of operation, and at the same time, also improving the convenience of operation of the operation assembly.

[0025] FIG. 1 illustrates an overall structure schematic view of an operation assembly for dual power supply switching according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 illustrates an interior structural schematic view of the operation assembly with a partial housing hidden according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation assembly generally comprises a housing 1, a lock tongue 2 coupled to the housing 1, and a pair of closing mechanisms 3 respectively arranged at two sides of the lock tongue 2. The lock tongue 2 can swing relative to the housing 1 between a first closing position and a second closing position, such that the operation assembly connects the electrical device to a different power supply. For example, when the lock tongue 2 swings to the first closing position, the operation assembly controls the electrical device to be connected to the common power supply in the power supply source, and when the lock tongue 2 swings to the second closing position, the operation assembly controls the electrical device to be connected to the standby power supply in the power supply source, thereby realizing the switching of the dual power supply by the operation assembly.

[0026] In some embodiments, the lock tongue 2 may also swing to a tripping position located between the first closing position and the second closing position. If the lock tongue 2 swings to the tripping position, the operation assembly simultaneously disconnects the connection with the two power supplies, thereby stopping supplying power to the electric device.

[0027] The following describes in detail how the closing mechanism 3 controls the lock tongue 2 to swing from the tripping position to the first closing position or the second tripping position. Since the pair of the switching mechanisms 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lock tongue 2, the following description mainly explains how the closing mechanism 3 on one side (e. g., the first side) acts. However, it should be understood that, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the action principle and action effect of the closing mechanism 3 on the other side (i.e., the second time opposite to the first side) are also similar.

[0028] FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-sectional view of an interior structure of the operation assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the closing mechanism 3 includes a mounting shaft 31 slidably coupled to the housing 1, a compression spring 33 arranged between the mounting shaft 31 and the housing 1, and a lever 32 rotatably coupled to the mounting shaft 31. In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a guide rail, and the mounting shaft 31 is disposed in the guide rail, so that the mounting shaft 31 can slide relative to the housing 1 along the extending direction of the guide rail to approach or away from the lock tongue 2.

[0029] The lever 32 comprises a fulcrum 321, a first end 322 arranged on the side of the fulcrum 321 close to the lock tongue 2 and a second end 323 arranged on the side of the fulcrum 321 away from the lock tongue 2. The fulcrum 321 of the lever 32 is aligned with the axis of the mounting shaft 31, so that the lever 32 can rotate around the axis of the mounting shaft 31. Specifically, in some embodiments, the lever 32 may be sleeved on the mounting shaft 31, so that the lever 32 may rotate relative to the mounting shaft 31.

[0030] The compression spring 33 is arranged between the lever 32 and the housing 1, and the compression spring 33 is in a compressed state, so that the compression spring 33 can push the lever 32 and the mounting shaft 31 to slide in the action direction. In some embodiments, the action direction can be a direction towards the lock tongue 2, for example, the action direction can be parallel to the arrangement direction of the two closing mechanisms 3 or a predetermined included angle is reserved between the arrangement direction of the two closing mechanisms 3.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, when the operation assembly is in the tripping position, the two levers 32 in the two closing mechanisms 3 are respectively in respective initial positions. The first ends 322 of the two levers 32 are respectively abutted against opposite sides of the lock tongue 2, and currently, the lock tongue 2 is in a balanced state due to the pushing force of the lever 32 on opposite sides (i.e., the elastic force from the compression springs 33 on opposite sides).

[0032] FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic view of the operation assembly performing closing switch according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, when the closing mechanism 3 is actuated, the second end 323 of the lever 32 of the first side closing mechanism 3 is pushed. Thus, the lever 32 rotates around the fulcrum 321 (i.e., the axis of the mounting shaft 31) along the first rotation direction to the avoidance position. In this case, the first end 322 of the lever 32 avoids the rotation track of the lock tongue 2, and the lever 32 on the second side slides from the initial position to the action position along the action direction under the action of the corresponding compression spring 33, and pushes the lock tongue 2 to swing towards the first side, and after the lock tongue 2 is pushed to a critical state, the lock tongue 2 swings to a first closing position under the action of an attraction force inside the operation assembly. Thus, the electric device is connected to the corresponding power supply source.

[0033] Referring back to FIGS. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the pushing force of the compression spring 33 on the lever 32 is offset from the axis of the mounting shaft 31, Thus, the pushing force of the spring may also cause the lever 32 to have at least a tendency to rotate in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction. Thus, when the operation assembly is in a tripping state, the levers 32 of the pair of closing mechanisms 3 can be respectively held at two sides of the lock tongue 2, and stably providing a pushing force to the lock tongue 2, so that the lock tongue 2 is maintained at the tripping position.

[0034] Referring back to FIGS. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the lever 32 further comprises a limiting block 34, the limiting block 34 can be disposed at any suitable position on the lever 32, and correspondingly, the housing 1 is further provided with an accommodating hole 11 for accommodating the limiting block 34. The limiting block 34 is arranged in the accommodating hole 11 and is configured to limit the continued rotation of the lever 32 when the lever 32 rotates to a predetermined position under the action of the compression spring 33. Specifically, when the lever 32 is rotated to the initial position in the second rotation direction under the action of the compression spring 33, the limiting block 34 abuts against the first wall of the accommodating hole 11, thereby limiting the continued rotation of the lever 32 in the second rotation direction. When the lever 32 is rotated to the avoidance position in the first rotation direction, the position limiting block 34 abuts against the second wall of the accommodating hole 11, thereby limiting the continued rotation of the lever 32 in the first rotation direction.

[0035] FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic view of the operation mechanism of the operation assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5 and in conjunction with FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises a pair of operation mechanisms 4, wherein the pair of operation mechanisms 4 are respectively arranged at two sides of the lock tongue 2 and correspond to the pair of closing mechanisms 3 on a one-to-one basis. The operation mechanism 4 is used for pushing the second end 323 of the lever 32 and driving the lever 32 to rotate along the first rotation direction. The operation mechanism 4 comprises a push rod 41 slidably coupled to the housing 1, in which one end of the push rod 41 is in contact with a second end 323 of the lever 32, and the other end faces towards an operating side of the operation assembly (i.e., towards a panel side of the operation assembly). When the push rod 41 is pressed down, the push rod 41 pushes the second end 323 of the lever 32, and makes the lever 32 rotate around the fulcrum 321 along the first rotation direction to the avoidance position.

[0036] In some embodiments, the operation mechanism 4 further comprises a closing button 43 arranged on the operating side of the operation assembly, the closing button 43 is coupled to the housing 1 of the operation assembly, and the operation assembly abuts against one side of the push rod 41 away from the lever 32, When the closing button 43 is pressed by the user, the closing button 43 pushes the push rod 41 to slide in the direction of the lever 32, The lever 32 is rotated about the mounting shaft 31 in a first rotation direction to a avoidance position under the action of the push rod 41. The lock tongue 2 is swung into a first (or second) closing position.

[0037] In some embodiments, the operation mechanism 4 further comprises a reset tension spring 42 arranged between the push rod 41 and the housing 1, one end of the reset tension spring 42 is coupled to the housing 1, and the other end is coupled to the push rod 41, and the reset tension spring 42 is configured to provide a tension force to the push rod 41, so that the push rod 41 at least has a tendency to slide away from one side of the lever 32 (i.e., a side close to the corresponding closing button 43). By means of the reset tension spring 42, the push rod 41 can automatically return under the action of the reset tension spring 42 after the lever 32 rotates, Furthermore, the tension spring may enable the closing button 43 to be raised again, thereby facilitating the next operation of the user.

[0038] In some embodiments, the closing button 43 may be coupled to the housing 1 in a snap-fit manner. For example, an elastic sheet may be coupled to a side of the closing button 43 facing the housing 1, and a snap block may also be coupled to the elastic sheet. When the closing button 43 is coupled to the housing 1, the elastic sheet is inserted into the corresponding housing 1, and at the same time, the snap block is snap-fitted with the housing 1 under the action of the elastic sheet, so that the closing button 43 is fixed on the housing 1.

[0039] FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic view of a tripping transmission assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6 and in conjunction with FIGS. 3 and 4, it is mentioned above that the swinging position of the lock tongue 2 also includes a tripping position between the first and second closing positions. Correspondingly, the operation assembly further comprises a tripping transmission assembly 5, the tripping transmission assembly 5 being arranged on the housing 1 and comprising an operation rod 51 and at least one transmission member. The operation rod 51 is rotatably coupled to the housing 1 and is adapt to be driven by a transmission member to rotate around a rotation axis to trigger a tripping component 6 of an operation assembly. After the tripping component 6 of the operation assembly is triggered, an internal mechanism of the apparatus will act, so that the lock tongue 2 swings from a first closing position or a second closing position to a tripping position.

[0040] In some embodiments, the operation assembly further comprises a tripping button 7, the transmission member being arranged between the operation rod 51 and the tripping button 7, and adapted to be drive by the tripping button 7 during the tripping button 7 being pressed, and to transmit a movement to the operation rod 51 such that the operation rod 51 rotates about an axis.

[0041] In some embodiments, the tripping button 7 may be coupled to the housing 1 in a snap-fit manner. In other embodiments, a reset spring 71 may be further disposed between the tripping button 7 and a panel of the housing 1. When the tripping button 7 is pressed down, the tripping button 7 is compressed. So that after the depression force applied by user on the tripping button 7 is released, the reset spring 71 pushes the tripping button 7 to reset.

[0042] In some embodiments, the transmission members comprise a first transmission member 52 and a second transmission member 53 respectively rotatably coupled to the housing 1. The ends of the first and second transmission members 52, 53 abut against each other. When the first transmission member 52 is rotated under the pressure of the transfer button 7 being pressed, the second transmission member 53 is pushed to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the end of the second transmission member 53 away from the first transmission part 52 pushes the operation rod 51 to rotate.

[0043] FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic view of the tripping transmission assembly from another perspective according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the tripping transmission assembly 5 further comprises a reset torsion spring 54 coupled to the housing 1 and having one end abutting against the first transmission member 52. The other end abuts against the second transmission member 53, and the reset spring 71 provides an elastic force to the first transmission member 52 and the second transmission member 53, so that after the tripping action is completed, the first transmission member 52 and the second transmission member 53 can be reset under the action of the reset torsion spring 54 to allow the second transmission member 53 to maintain a predetermined interval with the operation rod 51, thereby reducing a situation in which the tripping member 6 is erroneously touched.

[0044] Having described implementations of the disclosure above, the foregoing description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the implementations disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the implementations described. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the implementations, the practical application, or improvements to technologies in the marketplace, or to enable others of ordinary skill in the art to understand the implementations disclosed herein.
