[0018] The detailed features and advantages of the present disclosure are specifically described below in the embodiments, which are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of the present disclosure and make implementations accordingly.

[0019] It should be noted that, if there is no conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein can be combined with each other. Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0020] Currently, in applications where multiple feedback signals are directly generated by multiple auxiliary contacts, when the purposes of multiple feedback signals include controlling the movement state of the movable contact of the switch device, a feedback signal for controlling the movement state of the movable contact changes earlier than feedback signals for other purposes; the control system directly updates a control command of the movement state of the movable contact according to the feedback signal; when the new control command is STOP, the movable contact is stopped, and the linkage structure is also stopped; it is possible that the state of the auxiliary contacts for other subsequent purposes cannot be changed, the corresponding feedback signals cannot be changed, the multiple feedback signals are incomplete, the control system mistakenly reports that the switch device is failed, and the stability of the system is affected

[0021] In order to at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device, which generates a control instruction of the switch device according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and a control signal, so as to improve the complete effectiveness of all of the feedback signals of the switch device and increase the stability of the system.

[0022] Fig. 1 is a structural block diagram of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the control system based on the multiple feedback signals of the switch device includes a micro switch 2, a signal processing device 3 coupled to an external system 4 and the micro switch 2, and a motor control device 5 coupled to the signal processing device 3.

[0023] It should be noted that the external system 4 and the micro switch 2 may be in a wired connection with the signal processing device 3, and specifically by means of wires, cables, optical fibers, etc.

[0024] The micro switch 2 is configured to sense a position of the moveable contact of the switch device 1 to generate multiple feedback signals. Similarly, the motor control device 5 and the signal processing device 3 may be coupled to each other wirelessly or wiredly, and the motor control device 5 and the switch device 1 may also be coupled to each other wirelessly or wiredly.

[0025] In which, the micro switch 2 is a mechanical switch.

[0026] The signal processing device 3 receives a control signal of the external system 4 and the multiple feedback signals, and generates a motor control instruction of the switch device 1 according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and the control signal.

[0027] The motor control device 5 controls a motor of the switch device 1 according to the motor control instruction, and the motor controls closing and opening of a main contact of the switch device.

[0028] The signal processing device may also be integrated with the motor control device, and the micro switch directly serves as a part of a motor control loop.

[0029] It should be noted that after a large number of analyses and investigations on the fact that the control system mistakenly alarms that the switch device is failed, the applicant finds that among the multiple feedback signals of the switch device, the changes of the states of different auxiliary contacts have a sequence, which is inevitable, predictable and fixed. The changes of the multiple feedback signals have a fixed sequence. However, the purpose of the multiple feedback signals in the existing design is not strictly designed according to the sequence of the changes of the states of the auxiliary contact, resulting in the false alarm of the fault of the switch device.

[0030] According to the above technical solution of the present disclosure, when the movable contact of the switch device moves, the linkage structure is driven to move together, and the state of the micro switch is normal when a set position is not reached; when the movable contact moves to the set position, the linkage structure is triggered to change the micro switch into a triggered state, which is opposite to the normal state, so that the micro switch feeds back whether the movable contact of the switch device is at the set position; the micro switch is coupled to the signal processing device, thereby causing a change of the feedback signal, so as to carry out corresponding processing according to the feedback signal, such as controlling the movement state of the movable contact of the switch device, etc. Since multiple feedback signals are generated when the movable contact of the switch device moves to the set position, a control instruction of the switch device is generated according to a feedback signal finally received among the multiple feedback signals and a control signal, so as to improve the complete effectiveness of all of the feedback signals of the switch device and increase the stability of the system.

[0031] Fig. 2 illustrates a first specific structure of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the switch device SW includes a motor M, a screw S, a nut N, a movable contact DC, stationary contacts SC1 and SC2, and a linkage structure L. The nut N, the movable contact DC, and the linkage structure L are fixed together and have the same movement state. The motor M rotates and drives the screw S to rotate, and the nut N drives the movable contact DC to move linearly. The movable contact DC has three movement states, i.e., stopping, moving close to the static contacts SC1 and SC2, and moving away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2, while the static contacts SC1 and SC2 are fixed. When the motor M stops, the movable contact DC stops; when the motor M rotates forward, the movable contact DC moves close to the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2; and when the motor M rotates backward, the movable contact DC moves away from the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2. Serving as main circuit endpoints T1 and T2 of the switch device, the static contacts SC1 and SC2 are not coupled themselves. When the movable contact DC is in contact with the static contacts SC1 and SC2, the switch device SW is closed. When the movable contact DC is separated from the static contacts SC1 and SC2, the switch device SW is opened. When the movable contact DC is either in contact with or separated from the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2, there is an elastic space.

[0032] The movable contact DC has two set positions, wherein a first set position P1 is a corresponding position when the movable contact realizes the opening of the switch device, and a second set position P2 is a corresponding position when the movable contact realizes the closing of the switch device. There are at least two micro switches, wherein at least one micro switch X1 is disposed at a position of the linkage structure of the movable contact in an open state of the switch device, i.e., position P1, for sensing the open state of the switch device, and at least one micro switch X2 is disposed at a position of the linkage structure of the movable contact in a closed state of the switch device, i.e., position P2, for sensing the closed state of the switch device. At least two feedback signals are designed for each set position, and the movable contact DC can only move between the two set positions P1 and P2.

[0033] A control system CTRU includes micro switches X1 and Y1, a signal processing device SPU and a motor control device MDR. The micro switch X1 is disposed at the first set position P1 and the micro switch Y1 is disposed at the second set position P2.

[0034] The micro switch X1 includes a retractable trigger lever TRG11 and two auxiliary switches A11 and B11. The retractable trigger lever TRG11 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch A11 is in an open state and the auxiliary switch B11 is in a closed state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRG11 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L, is located in a movement path of the linkage structure of the movable contact of the switch device, and triggers a control end of each of the auxiliary switches in sequence in a compression process. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the first set position P1, the retractable trigger lever TRG11 will be compressed. In a process of changing the retractable trigger lever TRG11 from the extended state to a compressed state, firstly, a switch control end of the auxiliary switch A11 changes the auxiliary switch A11 from an open state to a closed state, and then a switch control end of the auxiliary switch B11 is triggered to change the auxiliary switch B11 from a closed state to an open state, wherein the sequence is fixed.

[0035] The micro switch Y1 includes a retractable trigger lever TRG12 and two auxiliary switches A12 and B12. The retractable trigger lever TRG12 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch A12 is in an open state and the auxiliary switch B12 is in a closed state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRG12 spatially interferes with the linkage structure, is located on a movement path of the linkage structure of the movable contact of the switch device, and triggers a control end of each of the auxiliary switches in sequence in a compression process. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the second set position P2, the retractable trigger lever TRG12 will be compressed. In a process of changing the retractable trigger lever TRG12 from the extended state to a compressed state, firstly, the auxiliary switch A12 changes from an open state to a closed state, and then the auxiliary switch B11 changes from a closed state to an open state, wherein the sequence is fixed.

[0036] One end of the auxiliary switch A11 is coupled to a feedback signal input end SA11 of the signal processing device SPU, and further coupled to a power supply common end COM of the signal processing device SPU via a resistor RA11; the other end thereof is coupled to a power supply end VCC of the signal processing device SPU. The feedback signal SA11 is used to detect whether the movable contact DC is at the first set position P1.

[0037] One end of the auxiliary switch B11 is coupled to a feedback signal input end SB 11 of the signal processing device SPU, and further coupled to the power supply common end COM of the signal processing device SPU via a resistor RB11; the other end thereof is coupled to the power supply end VCC of the signal processing device SPU. The feedback signal SB 11 is used to control the movement state of the movable contact DC in an opening process.

[0038] One end of the auxiliary switch A12 is coupled to a feedback signal input end SA12 of the signal processing device SPU, and further coupled to the power supply common end COM of the signal processing device SPU via a resistor RA12; the other end thereof is coupled to the power supply end VCC of the signal processing device SPU. The feedback signal SA12 is used to detect whether the movable contact DC is at the second set position P2.

[0039] One end of the auxiliary switch B12 is coupled to a feedback signal input end SB12 of the signal processing device SPU, and further coupled to the power supply common end COM of the signal processing device SPU via a resistor RB12; the other end thereof is coupled to the power supply end VCC of the signal processing device SPU. The feedback signal SB 12 is used to control the movement state of the movable contact DC in a closing process.

[0040] It is described a design of two feedback signals in an opening process of the switch device SW.

[0041] The control system CTRU receives an opening instruction for the switch device SW from an upper layer system (i.e. an external system) SPVR, and the signal processing device SPU detects the feedback signals SA11 and SB11. If SA11 is at a high level and SB11 is at a low level, the switch device SW is considered to have been in an open state, and the movement state of the movable contact DC is directly controlled to be stop. Otherwise, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to rotate backward. The movement state of the movable contact DC is moving away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2 until the linkage structure L compresses the retractable trigger lever TRG11 of the micro switch X1 at the first set position P1. Firstly, the auxiliary switch A11 changes from an open state to a closed state, the feedback signal SA11 changes from a low level to a high level, and the signal processing device SPU receives that the movable contact DC of the switch device SW is at the first set position P1. At this time, the motor M continues to rotate backward and the movable contact DC continues to move away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2. Next, the auxiliary switch B11 changes from a closed state to an open state, the feedback signal SB 11 changes from a high level to a low level, the signal processing device SPU updates the movement state of the movable contact DC to be stop, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to stop, and the movable contact DC stops. The two feedback signals are complete and effective, and the opening operation of the switch SW is finished.

[0042] It is described a design of two feedback signals in a closing process of the switch device SW.

[0043] The control system CTRU receives a closing instruction for the switch device SW from an upper layer system SPVR, and the signal processing device SPU detects the feedback signals SA12 and SB 12. If SA12 is at a high level and SB 12 is at a low level, the switch device SW is considered to have been in a closed state, and the movement state of the movable contact DC is directly controlled to be stop. Otherwise, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to rotate forward. The movement state of the movable contact DC is moving close to the static contacts SC1 and SC2 until the linkage structure L compresses the retractable trigger lever TRG12 of the micro switch Y1 at the second set position P2. Firstly, the auxiliary switch A12 changes from an open state to a closed state, the feedback signal SA12 changes from a low level to a high level, and the signal processing device SPU receives that the movable contact DC of the switch device SW is at the second set position P2. At this time, the motor M continues to rotate forward and the movable contact DC continues to move close to the static contacts SC1 and SC2. Next, the auxiliary switch B12 changes from a closed state to an open state, the feedback signal SB12 changes from a high level to a low level, the signal processing device SPU updates the movement state of the movable contact DC to be stop, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to stop, and the movable contact DC stops. The two feedback signals are complete and effective, and the closing operation of the switch SW is finished.

[0044] Fig. 3 illustrates a second specific structure of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the structure of the switch device SW is the same as that of the switch device SW illustrated in Fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0045] The control system CTRU includes two micro switches, a signal processing device SPU and a motor control device MDR, wherein one of the micro switches is disposed at a set position P1 and composed of micro sub-switches X21 and X22; the other of the micro switches is disposed at a set position P2 and composed of micro sub-switches Y21 and Y22.

[0046] The micro sub-switch X21 includes a retractable trigger lever TRGX21 and an auxiliary switch A21. The retractable trigger lever TRGX21 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch A21 is in an open state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRGX21 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the first set position P1, the retractable trigger lever TRGX21 will be compressed. The retractable trigger lever TRGX21 changes from the extended state to a compressed state, and the auxiliary switch A21 changes from the open state to a closed state.

[0047] The micro sub-switch X22 includes a retractable trigger lever TRGX22 and an auxiliary switch A22. The retractable trigger lever TRGX22 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch A22 is in a closed state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRGX22 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L.

In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRGY21 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the second set position P2, the retractable trigger lever TRGY21 will be compressed. The retractable trigger lever TRGY21 changes from the extended state to a compressed state, and the auxiliary switch B21 changes from the open state to a closed state.

[0050] The micro sub-switch Y22 includes a retractable trigger lever TRGY22 and an auxiliary switch B22. The retractable trigger lever TRGY22 is retractable and is maintained in an extended state by an elastic structure when there is no external force. At this time, the auxiliary switch B22 is in a closed state (when there is no external force acting on the retractable trigger lever, the state of the auxiliary switch can be configured according to actual needs, and an example is only given here). In the extended state, the retractable trigger lever TRGY22 spatially interferes with the linkage structure L. When the motor M drives the movable contact DC and the linkage structure L to move to the second set position P2, the retractable trigger lever TRGY22 will be compressed. The retractable trigger lever TRGY22 changes from the extended state to a compressed state, and the auxiliary switch B22 changes from the closed state to an open state.

[0051] In the process where the movable contact DC moves close to the stationary contacts SC1 and SC2 (the switch device is closed) to the second set position P2, Y21 is triggered firstly, and then Y22 is triggered.

[0052] It should be noted that retractable trigger levers of respective micro sub-switches comprised in a micro switch are arranged side by side in a movement path of the linkage structure of the movable contact of the switch device in an extended state, wherein the respective retractable trigger levers are sequentially compressed in the moving process of the linkage structure of the movable contact of the switch device, and trigger the control ends of corresponding auxiliary switches in the compressing process.

[0053] One end of the auxiliary switch A21 is coupled to a feedback signal input end SA21 of the signal processing device SPU, and further coupled to a power supply common end COM of the signal processing device SPU via a resistor RA21; the other end thereof is coupled to a power supply end VCC of the signal processing device SPU. The feedback signal SA21 is used to detect whether the movable contact DC is at the first set position P1.

The feedback signal SB22 is used to control the movement state of the movable contact DC in a closing process.

[0057] It is described a design of two feedback signals in an opening process of the switch device SW.

[0058] The control system CTRU receives an opening instruction for the switch device SW from an upper layer system SPVR, and the signal processing device SPU detects the feedback signals SA21 and SA22. If SA21 is at a high level and SA22 is at a low level, the switch device SW is considered to have been in an open state, and the movement state of the movable contact DC is directly controlled to be stop. Otherwise, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to rotate backward. The movement state of the movable contact DC is moving away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2 until the linkage structure L firstly compresses the retractable trigger lever TRGX21 of the micro sub-switch X21 at the first set position P1. The auxiliary switch A21 changes from an open state to a closed state, the feedback signal SA21 changes from a low level to a high level, and the signal processing device SPU receives that the movable contact DC of the switch device SW is at the first set position P1. At this time, the motor M continues to rotate backward and the movable contact DC continues to move away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2. Next, the linkage structure L compresses the retractable trigger lever TRGX22 of the micro sub-switch X22 at the first set position P1.

If SA31 is at a high level and SC31 is at a low level, the switch device SW is considered to have been in an open state, and the movement state of the movable contact DC is directly controlled to be stop. Otherwise, the motor control device MDR controls the motor M to rotate backward. The movement state of the movable contact DC is moving away from the static contacts SC1 and SC2 until the linkage structure L compresses the retractable trigger lever TRG31 of the micro switch X3 at the first set position P1. Firstly, the auxiliary switch A31 changes from an open state to a closed state, the feedback signal SA31 changes from a low level to a high level, and the signal processing device SPU receives that the movable contact DC of the switch device SW is at the first set position P1.

That is, the feedback signals with their states changed earlier are used for other purposes, and the feedback signal with its state changed finally is directly or indirectly used to control the movable contact movement state of the switch device, so as to improve the complete effectiveness of all of the feedback signals of the switch device and increase the stability of the system.

[0075] Fig. 5 illustrates a fourth specific structure of a control system based on multiple feedback signals of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 5, the structure of the switch device SW is the same as that of the switch device SW illustrated in Fig. 3, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] The control system CTRU includes two micro switches, a signal processing device SPU and a double-pole double-throw switch DP, wherein one of the micro switches is disposed at a set position P1 and composed of micro sub-switches X21 and X22; the other of the micro switches is disposed at a set position P2 and composed of micro sub-switches Y21 and Y22. The characteristics of the micro switches are the same as those of the second specific structure and will not be repeated here.

The power supply forms a loop through the double-pole double-throw switch DP, the motor M and the auxiliary switch B22, and the power supply of the motor M is positive at this time. The signal processing device SPU simultaneously detects the feedback signal SB21. If the auxiliary switch B22 is in an open state, the loop of the power supply of the motor M is disconnected by the auxiliary switch B22, and the motor M stops. Otherwise, the closed auxiliary switch B22 applies the positive power supply to the motor M, so that the motor M rotates forward. The movement state of the movable contact DC is moving close to the static contacts SC1 and SC2 until the linkage structure L firstly compresses the retractable trigger lever TRGY21 of the micro sub-switch Y21 at the second set position P2. The auxiliary switch B21 changes from an open state to a closed state, the feedback signal SB21 changes from a low level to a high level, and the signal processing device SPU receives that the movable contact DC of the switch device SW is at the second set position P2.
