[0002] At present, the contactor's pull-in and release performance testing, reliability testing and aging testing are generally carried out manually with a DC power supply. The specific operation includes: the worker manually controls the DC regulated power supply to achieve the pull-in and release of the contactor, and records the number of pull-ins after a certain time interval. This process needs to be repeated until the predetermined number of tests is completed. This method is suitable for occasions where the number of tests is small and the requirements for the pull-in and release time of the contactor are not strict.

[0003] However, this method has obvious shortcomings when a large number of tests (for example, more than 200 times) are required and the contactor closing and releasing time are strictly regulated.

The thermal relay 14 is connected between the output end of the contactor main contact 13 and the coil of the contactor 15 to be detected, and is used to protect the safety of the power circuit 1.

[0026] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram of a control circuit of a contactor automatic detection circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the control circuit 2 of this embodiment includes a start / stop button 21 , a thermal relay contact 22 , a counting relay 23 , a cycle delay relay 24 , a contactor coil 25 and a leakage diode 26 .

[0027] Among them, the start-stop button 21 is connected between the power supply 11 and the counting power input terminal 231 of the counting relay 23 and the cycle delay power input terminal 241 of the cycle delay relay 24, and is used to control the power supply of the counting relay 23, the cycle delay relay 24 and the contactor coil 25.

The power supply 11 is a 27V DC power supply, and the output voltage is used to provide working power for the contactor 15 to be detected, the cycle delay relay 24 and the counting relay 23.

[0033] In this embodiment, the contactor coil 25 is used to control the closing and opening of the contactor main contact 13 of the power circuit 1, thereby controlling the power supply of the contactor to be detected. The leakage diode 26 is connected in parallel with the contactor coil 25 to protect the contactor coil 25 from damage by the inductive back electromotive force.

[0034] The application principle of the contactor automatic detection circuit of the present embodiment is as follows: before the detection starts, the numerical value, power-on time and power-off time are pre-set through the counting relay 23 and the cyclic delay relay 24; after the detection starts, the counting relay 23 and the cyclic delay relay 24 cooperate to automatically accumulate the number of times the contactor 15 to be detected is attracted and released, and the attraction time and release time are accurately controlled; the counting relay 23 accumulates the count value by detecting the number of times the contact of the cyclic delay relay 24 is closed, and the count value reaches the preset target count value, the counting relay 23 is actuated, and the detection control circuit is released; the cyclic delay relay 24 performs the contact attraction and release actions repeatedly according to the preset attraction time and release time, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling the power supply of the contactor 15 to be detected.

[0035] In practical applications, the contactor pull-in automatic detection circuit of this embodiment has the following beneficial technical effects: 1.
