[0036] The specific implementation of the present utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the contactor structure of the fast opening of this embodiment includes:

[0038] a lower base 6, wherein a cavity is provided therein;

[0039] The counter spring assembly 7, which is two in number and symmetrically arranged in the lower base 6, has a structure including:

[0040] Anti-spring bracket 701;

[0041] There are two rotating arms 702 which are symmetrically hinged on the same anti-spring bracket 701;

[0042] The second rotating arm 703 is nested in the other end of the first rotating arm 702, and the lower end of the second rotating arm 703 can be detachably rotated on the lower base 6;

[0043] A spring 704, which is disposed in the second rotating arm 703 and respectively abuts against the first rotating arm 702 and the second rotating arm 703;

[0044] The movable bracket assembly 3 is located at the upper end of the two anti-spring brackets 701, and moves upward rapidly under the reaction force of the anti-spring brackets 701 after the external force is lost.

[0045] Through the special structural design of the anti-spring assembly 7, the reaction force of the spring 704 is increased, the contactor opening time is shortened, the arcing time of the moving and static contacts is reduced, the electrical ablation of the contacts is reduced, and the service life of the whole machine is improved.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the contactor structure for rapid opening in this embodiment further includes:

[0047] The upper base 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the lower base 6, and the upper base 5 is provided with a through hole for the movable bracket assembly 3 to pass through;

[0048] A coil assembly 8 is fixed in the lower base 6, and a plurality of stationary contact assemblies 4 are arranged on the coil assembly 8, and a stationary iron core is arranged in the stationary contact assembly 4;

[0049] In this embodiment, the movable bracket assembly 3 is connected to the movable contact assembly 2 , and a moving iron core is arranged inside the movable contact assembly 2 .

[0050] In the fast opening contactor structure of this embodiment, the lower end of the lower base 6 is connected to the bottom plate 9, and the upper end of the upper base 5 is connected to the upper cover assembly 1.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the rotating arm 2 703 in this embodiment is provided with a spherical end 706, and a rotating groove 601 corresponding to the spherical end 706 is opened on the lower base 6. By setting the rotating groove 601, the rotating arm 2 703 can be easily rotated, and the positioning of the rotating arm 2 703 can also be achieved. Under the action of gravity of the movable bracket assembly 3, the rotating arm 2 703 and the lower base 6 are relatively stable. At the same time, since the rotating arm 2 703 and the lower base 6 are not directly connected, it is convenient to replace components, especially the replacement of the wearing part spring 704.

[0052] The lower base 6 in this embodiment is located directly below the anti-spring bracket 701 and is provided with a limit bracket 602 to avoid excessive descent, collision of the moving / static contact components, and also to avoid spring fatigue.

[0053] The upper end of the anti-spring bracket 701 in this embodiment is provided with a positioning contact 705 embedded in the movable bracket assembly 3 to achieve the positioning of the anti-spring bracket 701 and the movable bracket assembly 3 and ensure the stability of the entire device.

[0054] The anti-spring bracket 701, the rotating arm 1 702, and the rotating arm 2 703 in this embodiment are all made of high-temperature resistant insulating materials. In this embodiment, high-temperature resistant insulating plastics are used, which can ensure a certain strength.

[0055] The inclination angle of the rotating arm 702 in this embodiment to the horizontal plane is less than 60 degrees, and the preferred angle is 45 degrees. That is, at this angle, it can ensure that the moving and static contacts can make quick contact, and after losing magnetism, they can be quickly reset under the action of the spring 704.

[0056] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0057] 1) When the coil assembly 8 is energized, the current in the coil assembly 8 will generate a magnetic field, causing the static iron core on the coil assembly 8 to generate electromagnetic attraction to attract the moving iron core on the movable bracket assembly 3. The moving iron core drives the movable bracket assembly 3 to move downward, and the counter-spring assembly 7 is pressed down by the movable bracket assembly 3. At the same time, the movable bracket assembly 3 drives the moving contact assembly 2 to move downward, so that the moving contact assembly 2 and the static contact assembly 4 are closed and connected, and the main circuit of the contactor works.

[0058] 2) When the coil assembly 8 is powered off, the electromagnetic force of the coil assembly 8 disappears. In the absence of magnetic force, the movable bracket assembly 3 quickly pops up under the upward reaction force of the anti-spring assembly 7, and the moving contact assembly 2 and the static contact assembly 4 on the movable bracket assembly 3 pop away from each other, and the main circuit of the contactor is opened.

[0059] 3) The structural design of the anti-spring assembly 7 consists of two groups of anti-springs. The anti-spring bracket 701 and the rotating arm 1 702 are hingedly designed to be difficult to fall out after assembly. The rotating arm 1 702 and the rotating arm 2 703 are nested and combined, and the spring 704 is arranged in the rotating arm 1 702 and the rotating arm 2 703, which protects the spring 704 from bending and deformation during the force application process.

[0060] The structural design of this anti-spring assembly 7 is that after the electromagnetic force disappears, the spring 704 recovers its free length under the reaction force. After the two sets of reaction forces of the spring 704 are combined, the anti-spring bracket 701 is reset to allow the movable bracket assembly 3 to quickly pop open, and the moving contact assembly 2 and the static contact assembly 4 on the movable bracket assembly 3 pop open to each other, thereby realizing rapid opening of the contactor main circuit, and the opening speed is increased by 40%, which reduces the arcing time of the moving and static contacts, reduces the electrical erosion of the contacts, and improves the service life of the entire contactor.

[0061] The above description is an explanation of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Any form of modification can be made within the protection scope of the utility model.
