Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a vacuum arc extinguishing chamber and an arc extinguishing contact thereof. Background Art

[0002] Vacuum circuit breakers are currently widely used in the interruption of AC power grids in the medium and low voltage fields. They have the characteristics of high reliability, maintenance-free, and strong interruption capacity. Among them, the vacuum interrupter is the core component that determines whether the vacuum circuit breaker can successfully interrupt the fault current.

[0003] Arcing occurs during the opening and closing of the moving and static contacts of the vacuum interrupter. The metal vapor in the arcing process burns to form an arc. The arc contraction under high current will reduce the recovery strength of the post-arc insulating medium inside the vacuum interrupter, which is not conducive to the opening of the vacuum circuit breaker. At present, the method of improving arc control generally adopts the longitudinal magnetic field control technology. The vacuum arc can be maintained in a diffuse state under the action of the longitudinal magnetic field, reducing the arc ablation of the contact. However, there is a contradiction between the longitudinal magnetic field strength and the rated current carrying capacity of the contact. When the longitudinal magnetic field strength is large, the current path of the contact is long, the resistance is large, and the current carrying capacity is poor. When the current path is short, the current carrying capacity is strong, but the longitudinal magnetic field strength is small. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an arc extinguishing contact for improving the current carrying capacity under the premise of ensuring the longitudinal magnetic field strength; in addition, the object of the present invention is also to provide a vacuum arc extinguishing chamber for improving the current carrying capacity of the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber.

[0017] Furthermore, the conductor contact segments on each longitudinal magnetic conductor are divided into at least two groups, and the conductor contact segments in the same group meet the following conditions: each conductor contact segment is arranged in the axial direction of the conductive rod and adjacent conductor contact segments are in tight contact when the arc extinguishing contact and the adapter contact are in current flow.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The adjacent conductor contact segments on the arc extinguishing contact of the present invention are in contact when current is flowing, which shortens the flow path, reduces the flow resistance, and improves the flow capacity.

In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0048] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0049] Specific embodiment 1 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention:

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the vacuum interrupter includes a housing, a moving contact 1 and a stationary contact 2. In this embodiment, both the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are arc-extinguishing contacts. The moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 move relative to each other in the housing to achieve connection between the two, and move in opposite directions in the housing to achieve disconnection between the two. The structure of the arc-extinguishing contact involved in the present invention is introduced below.

[0051] The arc extinguishing contact of the present invention can generate a larger longitudinal magnetic field when the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are disconnected, and has a higher current carrying capacity after the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are connected.

[0052] The arc extinguishing contact includes a conductive rod 3, a contact piece 4 and a longitudinal magnetic conductor 5. The conductive rod 3 includes a rod body 31 and a connecting plate 32, and the connecting plate 32, the contact piece 4 and the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 form a cup-shaped contact structure. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is in the shape of a long strip, one end of which is connected to the connecting plate 32, and the other end is connected to the contact piece 4. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 plays the role of conducting the contact piece 4 and the conductive rod 3. The contact piece 4 of the moving contact 1 is in conductive contact with the contact piece 4 of the static contact 2. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 in this embodiment is a copper conductor, and after the contact piece 4 is compressed, the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 can produce a certain elastic deformation.

[0053] A plurality of longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are provided, and the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 extend in a circumferential rotational direction along the contact sheet 4 in the axial direction of the conductive rod 3. The longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the contact sheet 4, and the rotation directions of the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are consistent. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 has a conductor contact section 51 for pressing and contacting the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 circumferentially adjacent to the contact sheet 4 along the axial direction of the conductive rod 3, and also has a conductor isolation section 52 for always keeping the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 circumferentially adjacent to the contact sheet 4 at intervals along the axial direction of the conductive rod 3. The longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the contact sheet 4, and when the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 are opened, the current blocks the passage and flows through each longitudinal magnetic conductor 5, generating a strong longitudinal magnetic field. In this embodiment, the longitudinal magnetic conductors are machined and formed in one piece. In other embodiments, the conductor can also be formed by welding.

[0054] In order to improve the flow capacity of the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5, the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 adjacent to each other along the circumference of the contact sheet 4 meet the following conditions: when the arc extinguishing contact and the matching contact are in flow, the conductor contact segment 51 on one longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 and the conductor contact segment 51 on another longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 are pressed and contacted in the axial direction of the conductive rod 3 to be connected; when the arc extinguishing contact and the matching contact are disconnected, the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is reset, and the conductor contact segments 51 that are in contact when the arc extinguishing contact and the matching contact are in flow are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the conductive rod 3. Through the conductive contact between the conductor contact segments 51, the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 can be connected, the flow path length of the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is reduced, the flow resistance is reduced, and the flow capacity is improved. Specifically, in this embodiment, the structure of the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is different, and the number and position of the conductor contact segments 51 can be adjusted as needed. The conductor contact segment 51 has a protruding portion protruding along the axial direction of the conductive rod, and the protruding portion is used to contact the adjacent conductor contact segment 51.

[0055] An elastic member 6 is provided between the connection plate 32 and the contact piece 4. In this embodiment, the elastic member 6 is a spring, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the conductive rod and the conductive piece, respectively. In order to improve the resetting ability of the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5, in this embodiment, an elastic member through hole 511 is provided on the conductor contact segment 51. The elastic member 6 extends axially along the conductive rod, one end is connected to the conductive rod, and the other end is connected to the contact piece 4. The elastic member 6 passes through the elastic member through hole 511. The position of the elastic member 5 coincides with the position of the conductor contact segment 51, so that the axially adjacent conductor contact segments 51 can be disconnected in time.

[0056] In other embodiments, the elastic member can also be made of elastic rubber. When the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 are conducting, the contact pieces 4 on the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 press against each other, the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 on the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 are deformed, the elastic member 6 is compressed, the conductor contact segments 51 on the adjacent longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are pressed and contacted to conduct, the conducting contact points of the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 increase, and the conducting capacity of the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 is enhanced. When the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 are disconnected, the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is reset by the elastic member 6, and the adjacent longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are spaced apart. At this time, there is no conduction between the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5. When the current flows along the longitudinal magnetic conductors 5, a strong longitudinal magnetic field can be generated, which is helpful for arc extinguishing.

[0057] In this embodiment, the conductor contact segments 51 are divided into multiple groups, and each group of conductor contact segments 51 is arranged along the circumferential direction. There are three conductor contact segments 51 in the same group, and the three conductor contact segments 51 meet the following conditions: each conductor contact segment 51 is arranged in the axial direction of the conductive rod 3, and adjacent conductor contact segments 51 are in tight contact when the arc extinguishing contact and the matching contact are in current flow. In this embodiment, any two adjacent longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 meet the following conditions: the two longitudinal magnetic conductors 5 are defined as the first longitudinal magnetic conductor and the second longitudinal magnetic conductor, respectively, and the portion of the conductor contact segments 51 on the first longitudinal magnetic conductor and the second longitudinal magnetic conductor arranged along the axial direction of the conductive rod 3 is the conductor contact segment 51 on the first longitudinal magnetic conductor.

[0058] In this embodiment, the number of the elastic members 6 is the same as the number of the groups of the conductor contact segments 51. The elastic member perforations on the same group of conductor contact segments 51 are coaxial, and the elastic member 6 passes through the three conductor contact segments 51 of the same group.

[0059] When the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are in a normal current flow state, the current passes through each group of conductor contact segments 51 but not through the conductor isolation segment 52, and no longitudinal magnetic field is generated, and the current resistance is greatly reduced. When the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are disconnected, the conductor contact segment 51 is no longer conductive. At this time, the current passes through the conductor contact segment 51 and the conductor isolation segment 52 on the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5, generating a longitudinal magnetic field.

[0060] In this way, the three axially arranged conductor contact segments 51 conduct electricity between the conductive rod 3 and the contact piece 4 when the moving contact 1 and the stationary contact 2 are closed. Since the conductor contact segments 51 are arranged in a straight line, the current carrying capacity is better.

[0061] One end of the partial longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is provided with a conductor contact segment 51, and the conductor contact segment 51 is connected to the conductive rod 3 or the contact piece 4. Both ends of the partial longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 are provided with conductor contact segments 51, one of the conductor contact segments 51 at both ends is connected to the conductive rod 3, and the other is connected to the contact piece 4.

[0062] In this embodiment, the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is integrally formed, and its two ends are respectively welded to the conductive rod 3 and the contact piece 4. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is provided with three arc segments in the circumferential direction of the contact piece 4, and two adjacent arc segments are arranged in a step-like manner in the axial direction of the conductive rod 3.

[0063] The arc extinguishing contact of the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber of the present invention realizes a significant increase in the rated current capacity of the contact without losing the longitudinal magnetic field during the breaking process. Under the condition of arcing during breaking, the longitudinal magnetic field is enhanced to a certain extent, which is conducive to the breaking of the vacuum arc.

[0064] The conductive path of the arc extinguishing contact of the present invention changes according to the working condition of the contact. In the closed state, the longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 is slightly deformed, shortening the current path, and the resistance is small. At this time, the resistance is similar to that of the flat contact, the contact heating is reduced, and the rated current is increased. In the open state, since there is no contact between the conductors, the current path is extended and the longitudinal magnetic field is greatly increased. The longitudinal magnetic conductor 5 of the present invention fully utilizes the hardness pin of a single copper conductor and has good structural elongation. Under the condition of a small deformation, it does not affect the short-term arc current capacity.

[0065] Specific embodiment 2 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention, the difference between the vacuum interrupter in this embodiment and the vacuum interrupter in the above embodiment is that the longitudinal magnetic conductor itself is an elastic member in this embodiment, for example, the longitudinal magnetic conductor can be an elastic conductive sheet. At this time, the longitudinal magnetic conductor relies on its own elasticity to reset, and there is no need to set an elastic member. Of course, in other embodiments, when this conductor itself is an elastic conductor, an elastic member can also be added to ensure the reset effect.

[0066] Specific embodiment 3 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention, the difference between the vacuum interrupter in this embodiment and the vacuum interrupter in the above embodiments is that all the longitudinal magnetic conductors constitute the conductor contact section.

[0067] Specific embodiment 4 of the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber of the present invention, the difference between the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber in this embodiment and the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber in the above embodiments is that, in this embodiment, in the same group of conductor contact segments, two contacting conductor contact segments are staggered with the other two conductor contact segments in the axial direction of the conductive rod.

[0068] Specific embodiment 5 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention, the difference between the vacuum interrupter in this embodiment and the vacuum interrupter in the above embodiments is that the longitudinal magnetic conductor is spiral.

[0069] Specific embodiment 6 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention, the difference between the vacuum interrupter in this embodiment and the vacuum interrupter in the above embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the elastic member is arranged in the cup-shaped space surrounded by the longitudinal magnetic conductor. In other embodiments, the number of elastic members can be adjusted as needed, and can be more or less than the number of groups of conductor contact segments.

[0070] A specific embodiment 7 of the vacuum interrupter of the present invention is that the vacuum interrupter in this embodiment is different from the vacuum interrupter in the above embodiments only in that the elastic member is perforated and arranged on the conductor isolation section.

[0071] A specific embodiment of the arc extinguishing contact of the present invention, the structure of the arc extinguishing contact in this embodiment is the same as the structure described in any specific embodiment of the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber mentioned above, and the details are not repeated here.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The patent protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention should also be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
