Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of railway turnout switching equipment, and in particular relates to a contact seat for an electric switch machine. Background Art

[0002] The function of the electric switch is to switch and lock the point rail / heart rail, change the opening direction of the turnout, and reflect the position status of the point rail / heart rail through the contact. As an important component in the switch, the contact seat realizes the switching function of the action and indication circuit, and feeds the signal back to the interlocking system. However, due to the long-term friction between its own moving contact group and static contact group, there will be a situation where the switching resistance is too large, resulting in the moving contact group being blocked and unable to normally switch and connect the indication circuit after the turnout is switched into place, delaying normal driving. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose a contact seat for an electric switch machine to reduce the switching resistance of the moving contact group of the contact seat, and improve the switching power of the moving contact group, ensure the stability of the switching of the moving contact group, and eliminate the hidden danger of jamming.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0005] A contact seat for an electric switch machine comprises a contact seat base, a fixing plate for assembling a static contact group, and a bracket for assembling a dynamic contact group;

[0006] The bracket includes a left bracket and a right bracket, which are respectively connected to the contact seat base through a movable contact axis symmetrically; and a tension spring is arranged between the left bracket and the right bracket;

[0007] The two sides of the left bracket are respectively provided with fixing plates corresponding to the positions thereof; the two sides of the right bracket are also respectively provided with fixing plates corresponding to the positions thereof;

[0008] An adjustment plate which can rotate relative to the contact seat base is arranged at one end of the movable contact shaft; and a tension spring is arranged between the right adjustment plate and the left adjustment plate.

[0009] The rotation of the driving starter plate can drive the moving contact shaft and the left and right adjustment plates to rotate, and the rotation of the adjustment plate will drive the left and right brackets to rotate, thereby realizing the position movement of the moving contact group on the bracket, realizing the connection and disconnection of the moving contact ring on the moving contact group and the static contact plate on the static contact group, and realizing the switching of the action and indication circuit. The driving method provided in the present invention is to drive the starting plate by external force, and the moving contact shaft and the adjustment plate can also be driven to rotate by other methods.

[0010] The left and right adjustment plates are provided with tension spring connection holes. After the tension springs are installed, a double tension spring system is formed with the tension springs between the brackets, thereby ensuring stable and reliable conversion between the moving contact groups installed on the left and right brackets and the static contact groups.

[0011] Furthermore, a flanged bushing is installed in the base hole of the contact seat base for assembling the movable contact shaft, and a cushion sleeve is provided between the flanged bushing and the movable contact shaft. The flanged bushing is a graphite bushing. The flanged bushing realizes the coaxiality of the movable contact shaft and lubrication of the cushion sleeve.

[0012] Further, the flanged bushing includes a long flanged bushing and a short flanged bushing, a long flanged bushing is arranged in the base hole at the middle position of the movable contact shaft, and a long cushion sleeve is arranged in the long flanged bushing; and a long flanged bushing is arranged in the base hole for assembling the adjustment plate and the movable contact shaft at the same time, and the long flanged bushing is not arranged in the long cushion sleeve;

[0013] One end of the moving contact shaft without the adjustment plate is connected to the contact seat base through the base hole, and a short flange bushing is arranged in the base hole, and a short cushion sleeve is arranged between the short flange bushing and the moving contact shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the right adjustment plate and the left adjustment plate are fixed to the tension spring by a pin shaft respectively; the left bracket and the right bracket are also fixed to the tension spring by a pin shaft respectively. The tension spring and the left and right adjustment plates, as well as the tension spring and the left and right brackets can also be connected by other means. The connection with the pin shaft is convenient and detachable, but it should be noted that the connection with other means does not affect the implementation of the present application.

[0015] Furthermore, the right adjustment plate is connected to the right starting plate through an adjusting screw, a roller is riveted on the right starting plate through a pin shaft, and a spline hole is provided on the right starting plate, corresponding to the spline shaft part of the moving contact shaft; the left adjustment plate is connected to the left starting plate through an adjusting screw, a roller is riveted on the left starting plate through a pin shaft, and a spline hole is provided on the left starting plate, corresponding to the spline shaft part of the moving contact shaft.

[0016] The left and right starting plates have spline holes, which are inserted into the moving contact shaft which is also a spline shaft, and are relatively stationary with the moving contact shaft; the mounting hole (through hole) of the adjustment plate and the spline hole of the starting plate are coaxial with the moving contact shaft, and the relative angle relationship between the two is adjusted by the adjustment screw of the adjustment plate.

[0017] The adjusting screw is provided with a spring washer and a nut, and the position relationship between the adjusting plate and the starting piece is adjusted by adjusting the position of the nut. It should be noted that the adjusting screw can also be connected to the adjusting plate and the starting piece through a thread, and in order to ensure the stability of the structure after adjustment, the position of the adjusting screw can also be relatively fixed by other existing methods.

When the left and right starting pieces rotate, the left and right starting pieces drive the rotation of the left and right adjustment plates through the adjustment screws of the left and right adjustment plates, and then drive the left and right brackets to rotate, thereby realizing the connection or disconnection of the contacts.

[0020] Furthermore, a uniformly distributed dot-shaped graphite lubricating layer is embedded on the moving contact ring of the moving contact group, which ensures the current conductivity after being driven into the static contact group and plays a lubricating role, thereby reducing the friction between the two.

[0021] Furthermore, the head of the static contact piece of the static contact group is in an arc shape, which can achieve reliable contact with the moving contact ring and improve the occurrence of arcing.
