DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be known that a new type of contactor includes a main body 1, in which a moving contact plate 2, a static contact member 3 and a push rod 4 are arranged, and the moving contact plate 2 is sleeved on the upper end of the push rod 4.

[0032] At the same time, the main body 1 here also includes other components that complete the basic functions of the contactor product in addition to the necessary features, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 The main body 1 is provided with a coil frame 22, a static iron core 24 is provided in the coil frame 22, a moving iron core 23 is provided in the static iron core 24, and the push rod 4 is provided in the moving iron core 23. A coil 1 31 is wound on the coil frame 22, and the coil 1 31 extends outward and is connected to a DC power supply, so that current and voltage are input to the interior through the coil 1 31.

[0033] Therefore, in actual use, when the coil 31 wound on the coil frame 22 is energized, a magnetic field is generated between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, and a magnetic force is generated at the magnetic gap between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, which is the electromagnetic attraction force. At this time, due to the effect of the magnetic force, the moving iron core 23 is driven to move in the direction of reducing the magnetic gap, that is, to move upward, and then drive the push rod 4 to move upward, so that the moving contact plate 2 moves upward, and then the moving contact plate 2 touches the static contact 3, thereby realizing the basic function of the contactor.

[0034] However, since these are all internal operations, it is impossible to determine whether the movable contact plate 2 and the stationary contact member 3 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the present invention also provides an auxiliary component in the main body 1. At the same time, a connecting rod 5 is provided in the main body 1, and one end of the connecting rod 5 is located at the upper end of the push rod 4, and the other end is located at the upper end of the auxiliary component. Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the auxiliary component is connected to the coil 2 19 and transmits signals to the outside through the coil 2 19 .

[0035] Therefore, in actual use, when the push rod 4 moves upward, thereby causing the moving touch plate 2 to move upward, the push rod 4 also pushes one end of the connecting rod 5 to move upward. At this time, the lever principle is used to move the other end of the connecting rod 5 downward, thereby causing the connecting rod 5 to drive the auxiliary component to conduct. Therefore, when the moving touch plate 2 touches the static contact 3, the auxiliary component is also turned on, so that the coil 2 19 can transmit a signal to the outside to determine whether the moving touch plate 2 and the static contact 3 touch each other. Therefore, when the moving touch plate and the static contact are disconnected from each other due to some reason, it can be known by the coil 2 19 transmitting a signal to the outside, thereby avoiding circuit problems such as internal short circuits.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the auxiliary component includes a movable spring piece 6 and a static spring piece 7, and one end of the movable spring piece 6 is located on the upper end of the static spring piece 7. At the same time, one end of the connecting rod 5 is located on the upper end of the movable spring piece 6.

[0037] Therefore, in actual use, when the push rod 4 moves upward, thereby moving the moving contact plate 2 upward, the push rod 4 also pushes one end of the connecting rod 5 upward. At this time, the lever principle is used to move the other end of the connecting rod 5 downward, thereby causing the connecting rod 5 to push the moving spring 6 downward, thereby causing the moving spring 6 to contact the static spring 7, that is, the auxiliary component is turned on, and the signal is transmitted to the outside through the coil 2 19. That is, a simple lever structure is used to ensure the stability of the structure and achieve simultaneity, that is, when the moving contact plate 2 touches the static contact 3, the moving spring 6 and the static spring 7 also contact each other. Moreover, this structure is easy to process and install.

[0038] Look specifically Figure 5It can be seen that one end of the moving spring piece 6 is bent into an arc portion 8. Therefore, when the push rod 4 moves so that the connecting rod 5 pushes the moving spring piece 6, the arc portion 8 and the static spring piece 6 contact each other, that is, through a semicircular arc contact, that is, point contact, so that it closes when it is touched and opens when it is released, thereby effectively increasing the reliability of opening and closing.

[0039] At the same time, the connecting rod 5 includes a pushing end 9 and a pushed end 10, wherein the two side surfaces of the pushing end 9 are formed with arc inclined surfaces 13, thereby forming point contact, and then closing when touched and opening when released, thereby effectively increasing the reliability of opening and closing.

[0040] Furthermore, a placement groove 11 is provided in the pushed end 10, and a spring 12 is provided in the placement groove 11. Therefore, when the push rod 4 moves so that the connecting rod 5 pushes the moving spring 6 downward, so that the moving spring 6 and the static spring 6 contact each other, the spring 12 is in a compressed state. Therefore, when the coil 1 31 is not energized by the outside world, the connecting rod 5 is reset due to the elasticity of the spring 12. That is, a simple structure is adopted, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure, and it is easy to process and install.

[0041] At the same time, the spring 12 also plays a role in ensuring that when disconnected, the pushing end of the connecting rod 5 is lifted, and the movable spring leaf 6 is also in a disconnected state.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the installation structure of the connecting rod 5 can be known: first, a fixing frame 14 is arranged in the main body 1, and a mounting groove 20 is opened at the upper end of the fixing frame 14, and a cover plate 21 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting groove 20.

[0043] Therefore, during the installation process, the connecting rod 5 is first placed in the installation groove 20, and then the cover plate 21 is covered, so that the connecting rod 5 and the spring 12 are limited by the cover plate 21, and the internal structure is also protected and the appearance is taken into consideration. That is, a simple structure is adopted to ensure the stability of the structure, and it is easy to process and install.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the fixed frame 14 is provided with a static contact 3, and the fixed frame 14 is provided with a boss 15 and a boss 2 16. At the same time, the boss 15 and the boss 2 16 are both provided with a connecting hole 18, and the connecting hole 18 is provided with a coil 2 19.

[0045] Therefore, during the installation process, the movable spring 6 and the static spring 7 are first placed on the boss 15 and the boss 2 16 respectively by the spring embedding method, and one end of the movable spring 6 and the static spring 7 is left exposed outside and in the connecting hole 18.

[0046] At the same time, both the moving spring piece 6 and the stationary spring piece 7 are provided with a bending portion 17 , and the bending portion 17 and the second coil 19 abut against each other, so that information is transmitted to the outside through the second coil 19 .

[0047] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , it can be seen that the installation method of the push rod 4 is: first, both sides of the push rod 4 are sleeved with open retaining rings 25, and the push rod 4 is provided with a convex edge 27. At the same time, an electric shock box 26 is provided between the coil frame 22 and the fixing frame 14. The electric shock box 26 is used to prevent the powder layer and related foreign matter generated due to the relative movement between the push rod 4 and the fixing frame 14, thereby protecting the internal structure and various components, thereby extending the service life.

[0048] Therefore, during the installation process, the push rod 4 is first passed through the electric shock box 26 and the moving iron core 23 from top to bottom until the lower surface of the convex edge 27 abuts against the electric shock box 26, that is, it reaches the designated position, and then the moving touch plate 2 is sleeved on the upper end of the push rod 4. At this time, the open retaining ring 25 is sleeved on both sides of the push rod 4 and abuts against the lower surface of the moving iron core 23 and the upper surface of the moving touch plate 2, that is, the connection between the parts is limited and stabilized by the open retaining ring 25. That is, a simple structure is adopted, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure, and it is easy to process and install.

[0049] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 7 It can be seen that reinforcing ribs 28 are provided on both sides of the fixing frame 14, and the movable touch plate 2 abuts against the reinforcing ribs 28. The clearance between the reinforcing ribs 28 and the movable touch plate 2 is matched to prevent the movable seat assembly from rotating along the axis of the push rod, and also ensure that the movable touch plate 2 is vertically moved up without left and right deviation.

[0050] At the same time, magnets 29 are arranged on both sides of the electric shock box 26, and the fixing frame 14 is provided with a clamping groove 30, and the magnets 29 are clamped in the clamping groove 30. The magnets 29 play a role in resisting the burning of the arc.

[0051] The specific working process of this program is as follows:

[0052] When the coil 31 wound on the coil frame 22 is energized, a magnetic field is generated between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, and a magnetic force is generated at the magnetic gap between the moving iron core 23 and the static iron core 24, which is the electromagnetic attraction force. At this time, due to the effect of the magnetic force, the moving iron core 23 is driven to move in the direction of reducing the magnetic gap, that is, to move upward, and then drive the push rod 4 to move upward, so that when the moving touch plate 2 moves upward, the moving touch plate 2 touches the static contact member 3. At this time, the push rod 4 also pushes one end of the connecting rod 5 to move upward. At this time, the lever principle is used to move the other end of the connecting rod 5 downward, so that the connecting rod 5 drives the auxiliary component to conduct.

[0053] Therefore, when the moving touch plate 2 and the stationary contact 3 touch each other, the auxiliary component is also turned on, so the coil 2 19 can be used to transmit a signal to determine whether the moving touch plate 2 and the stationary contact 3 touch each other. Therefore, when the moving touch plate and the stationary contact are disconnected from each other due to some reason, the coil 2 19 can be used to transmit a signal to avoid internal short circuit and other circuit problems.

[0054] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
