Description

Technical Field

[0002] A contactor is an important electrical appliance for starting or stopping the operation of modern industrial control electrical appliances. The working principle of the existing contactor is electromagnetic drive. A magnetic force is generated by an energized electromagnetic coil to pull the iron core provided with a moving contact to move, so that the moving and static contacts are in contact, and the electrical appliance is energized and operates. And the electromagnetic coil needs to be continuously energized for the electrical appliance to operate normally. After power-off, the electromagnetic coil loses magnetism, the moving contact returns to its original position, the power supply is disconnected, and the electrical appliance is turned off. The larger the power of the electrical appliance, the larger the power of the required contactor and the electromagnetic coil. When the existing contactor energizes the electrical appliance, it is also an electrical appliance itself, consuming a large amount of electric energy.

For the mechanical transmission contactor controlled by a conventional switch, the fixing screws pass through the contactor foot holes 28 and are fixed to the set position. Open the upper box sealing cover 23 of the contactor. The power-off power line 3 passes through the perforation 27 in the rubber gasket 26, and connects the output power static contact 8a in the travel switch box body 1a and the contactor power-off switch 4. The other end of the power-off switch 4 is connected to the terminal 16b that makes the moving contact motion shaft 14 move to the left when the motor 15 is running. The power-on power line 6 connects the output power static contact 8b in the travel switch box body 1b and the contactor power-on switch 5. The other end of the power-on switch 5 is connected to the terminal 16b that makes the moving contact motion shaft 14 move to the right when the motor 15 is running. The zero line of the motor 15 is connected to the zero line terminal 16a; The mechanical transmission contactor is set to the power-off state at the factory, such as Figure 5 , the moving contact motion shaft 14 moves to the left, pushing open the contact between the travel switch moving contact 19a and the static contact 8a in the travel switch box body 1a. The double-sided moving contact 17 in the external control power moving contact motion box body 18 contacts the static contact 22, which is also the normally closed contact set by the existing contactor. The right static contact is the normally open contact, which can be used as a switch to control the external power supply; The moving contact 19b in the travel switch box body 1b is connected to the input and output static contact 8b under the push of the return spring.

As Figure 1 , there is not a single live screw exposed outside the entire contactor. The 1a, 1b, 11a, 11b, 11c, 13, and 18 in the integrated base box are all independent sealed spaces. If one of the boxes is damaged, the same box can be replaced, which is convenient for maintenance and reduces the use cost. After being powered on, the input static contacts 10b in the moving contact boxes 11a, 11b, and 11c of the main power supply are all energized. Due to the connection of the power supply wires 9a and 9b of the travel switch, the input static contact 8a in the travel switch box 1a is also energized, and the input static contact 8b in the travel switch box 1b is energized. Through the connection of the moving contact 19b of the travel switch 2b, the output static contact 8 of the power supply output end is energized, and the power supply wire 6 is also energized; press the contactor power-on switch 5, the motor 15 rotates, drives the moving contact moving shaft 14 to move to the right through the transmission of the teeth, drives the single-sided moving contact 12 arranged inside the shaft to move to the right, and is respectively connected to 10a and 10b in the box, and the electrical appliance operates normally. At the same time, it drives the double-sided moving contact 17 to move to the right and is connected to the right static contact 22 in the box to provide power for the external control power supply; the moving contact moving shaft 14 moving to the right pushes the travel shaft of the travel switch 2b to move to the right, drives the moving contact 19 of the travel switch to move to the right, separates the moving contact 19b from the static contact 8b, the power supply wire 6 is powered off, the motor 15 stops running, and the powered-off motor self-brakes and does not rotate, ensuring the stable contact between the moving and static contacts of the contactor and normally and smoothly powering on the electrical appliance. During the power-on process, the contactor itself does not consume power or generate heat; when the moving contact moving shaft 14 moving to the right leaves the travel switch box 1a, the return spring in the travel switch 1a returns, pushes the travel shaft of the travel switch to move to the right, and the moving contact 19a arranged inside the travel shaft is connected to the input and output static contact 8a on the inner side of the box, and the power-off wire 3 is powered on. Press the contactor power-off switch 4, the motor 15 operates, and the contactor returns to the power-off state set at the factory, turning off the electrical appliance. Embodiment 1 is more suitable for various machines that do not need to be frequently started, such as water pumps.

[0022] Embodiment 2

The contactor connects the power lines in the power-off state. After being powered on, the power-on power line 6 is powered on. Pressing the on-off switch causes the stroke shaft 31 to drive the double-sided moving contact 29 to move downward and connect to the power-on static contact 32b. The motor 15 runs and drives the moving contact moving shaft 14 to move to the right, and the contactor is powered on, and the electrical appliance works normally. The moving contact 19b of the travel switch is separated from the static contact 8b, the power-on power line 6 is powered off, the moving motor 15 stops running, the moving contact 19a of the travel switch is connected to the static contact 8a, the power-off power line 3 is powered on, and the on-off switch is released. The stroke shaft 31 moves upward under the push of the return spring, and the double-sided contact 29 moves upward and connects to the power-off static contact 32a.
