Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of DC contactors, in particular to a device for quickly testing the contact resistance of DC contactors. Background Art
[0002] As a key electrical component controlling the on / off switching of DC circuits, DC contactors utilize electromagnetic induction to drive mechanical contacts. They are equipped with specialized arc-extinguishing devices to safely interrupt DC arcs. Due to their reliable performance, these products have been widely used in high-end technology fields such as industrial automation control, new energy vehicle power systems, and large-scale energy storage devices. To ensure the quality and stability of DC contactors, their contact resistance must be rigorously tested after manufacturing. This precise resistance test effectively eliminates substandard products and prevents quality risks such as poor contact from entering the application stage.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used method for testing the contact resistance of DC contactors is to use a DC resistance tester in combination with power clamps to complete the test. This requires manual clamping of two power clamps onto the two contacts of the DC contactor. Since the two contacts of the DC contactor are closely spaced, the operating space left for the power clamps is very limited. During operation, the two power clamps can easily come into contact with each other, causing electrical connection, which in turn interferes with the test operation, making this method less than ideal in practical applications. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention relates to a device for quickly testing the contact resistance of a DC contactor contact. The device solves the problem that a DC resistance tester is currently commonly used in combination with a power clamp to complete the test, and two power clamps need to be manually clamped onto two contacts of the DC contactor. Since the two contacts of the DC contactor are closely spaced, the operating space left for the power clamps is very limited. During operation, the two power clamps are very likely to contact each other, resulting in electrical connection, which in turn interferes with the test operation and results in unsatisfactory results in actual application.
[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a device for quickly testing the contact resistance of a DC contactor contact is provided, which specifically includes: an insulating docking cap, a conductive contact pin, an insulating movable plate, a conductive vertical rod, a reset spring, an insulating pressure arm and an insulating transmission connecting rod; the insulating docking cap is connected to the top of the DC contactor, and two conductive contact pins are connected to the inside of the insulating docking cap; the top of the insulating docking cap is connected to an insulating movable plate, and conductive vertical rods are installed in both ends of the insulating movable plate, and the bottom of the conductive vertical rod is connected to the conductive contact pin, and the wire of the DC resistance tester is fixedly connected to the top of the conductive vertical rod by a bolt, and the conductive vertical rod is in contact with the outside of the insulating docking cap; two reset springs are installed on the top of the insulating docking cap, and the reset springs are located on the top of the insulating movable plate; two insulating pressure arms are connected to the outside of the insulating docking cap, and the outside of the insulating pressure arm is connected to the insulating transmission connecting rod, and the end of the insulating transmission connecting rod is connected to the insulating movable plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the insulating docking cap is symmetrically provided with docking slots, the notches of which face the bottom, and the two contacts of the DC contactor are inserted into the docking slots provided in the insulating docking cap.
[0007] Furthermore, the insulating docking cap is symmetrically provided with guide holes on the outside, which are connected to the docking slot. The conductive contact pin is slidably connected to the guide hole provided on the insulating docking cap, and the inner end of the conductive contact pin contacts the contact of the DC contactor.
[0008] Furthermore, guide columns are symmetrically arranged on the top of the insulating docking cap, and vertical guide holes are symmetrically arranged inside the insulating movable plate. The guide columns slide through the vertical guide holes provided in the insulating movable plate, and the sliding cooperation between the guide columns and the vertical guide holes plays a guiding effect on the up and down movement of the insulating movable plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom end of the conductive vertical rod is bent, and a linkage inclined sliding hole is provided in the bottom end of the conductive vertical rod. The linkage inclined sliding hole is inclined at 45 degrees, and a linkage slider is provided in the outer end of the conductive contact pin. The linkage slider is slidably connected to the linkage inclined sliding hole provided in the conductive vertical rod.
[0010] Furthermore, vertical connecting holes are symmetrically provided inside the insulating movable plate, and the conductive vertical rod is fixed through the vertical connecting holes provided in the insulating movable plate by bolts. When the insulating movable plate drives the conductive vertical rod to move downward, the linkage slider moves from the bottom end to the top end of the linkage inclined sliding hole, driving the conductive contact pin to move inward. When the insulating movable plate drives the conductive vertical rod to move upward, the linkage slider moves from the top end to the bottom end of the linkage inclined sliding hole, driving the conductive contact pin to move outward.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the guide column of the insulating docking cap is provided with a force-bearing cap head, and the reset spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide column. The top of the reset spring contacts the force-bearing cap head, and the bottom of the reset spring contacts the top side of the insulating movable plate. The reset spring applies a downward thrust to the insulating movable plate, which has the effect of elastically resetting the insulating movable plate. When the two contacts of the DC contactor are inserted into the docking slot, the insulating movable plate moves downward under the influence of the thrust of the reset spring, and the insulating movable plate drives the two conductive vertical rods downward synchronously, and the conductive vertical rod drives the conductive contact pin to move inward, so that the inner end of the conductive contact pin is in close contact with the contact of the DC contactor.
[0012] Furthermore, the bottom end of the insulating pressure arm is rotatably connected to the insulating docking cap, a vertical connecting rod is provided on the top of the insulating movable plate, one end of the insulating transmission connecting rod is rotatably connected to the vertical connecting rod provided on the insulating movable plate, and the other end of the insulating transmission connecting rod is rotatably connected to the insulating pressure arm. The insulating movable plate is connected to the two insulating pressure arms through the insulating transmission connecting rod. After the contact resistance test of the DC contactor contacts is completed, the fingers press the top ends of the two insulating pressure arms inward to drive the insulating pressure arms to rotate inward. The insulating pressure arms drive the insulating movable plate to move upward through the insulating transmission connecting rod. The insulating movable plate drives the two conductive vertical rods upward synchronously, and the conductive vertical rod drives the conductive contact pin to move outward, so that the inner end of the conductive contact pin and the contacts of the DC contactor are separated from each other.
[0013] The present invention provides a device for quickly testing the contact resistance of a DC contactor, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] When the present invention is in use, the guide column and the vertical guide hole adopt a sliding fit design, which can accurately guide the insulating movable plate to move up and down, ensuring the stability and accuracy of its movement trajectory; the reset spring applies a continuous downward thrust to the insulating movable plate, giving the insulating movable plate an elastic reset function, so that it can quickly return to its initial position after the force changes; when the two contacts of the DC contactor are inserted into the docking slot, under the action of the reset spring thrust, the insulating movable plate moves downward, and synchronously drives the two conductive vertical rods to move downward; the conductive vertical rod further drives the conductive contact pin to move inward, prompting the inner end of the conductive contact pin to fit closely with the contact of the DC contactor, effectively ensuring the stability of the conductive connection; in this state, the contact resistance of the DC contactor contacts can be directly tested using a DC resistance tester, and the entire operation process is quick and simple, which greatly improves the test efficiency.
[0015] In addition, after the contact resistance test of the DC contactor is completed, the operator presses the top ends of the two insulating pressure arms inward with his fingers, driving the insulating pressure arms to rotate inward. During the rotation process, the insulating pressure arms will transmit power to the insulating movable plate through the insulating transmission connecting rod connected to it, causing it to move upward; when the insulating movable plate moves upward, it will simultaneously drive the two conductive vertical rods to move upward together, and the upward movement of the conductive vertical rods will further drive the conductive contact pins to move outward, eventually separating the inner ends of the conductive contact pins from the contacts of the DC contactor, and the device can be easily removed from the top of the DC contactor; when the next DC contactor contact resistance test operation is required, just release the two insulating pressure arms pressed previously, and the insulating movable plate will drive the insulating pressure arms to rotate outward and reset through the insulating transmission connecting rod, and the conductive contact pins and the DC contactor contacts will be conductively connected again, and subsequent testing work can be carried out.
[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of the present invention will be reflected in part through the following description, and in part will be understood by those skilled in the art through study and practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
