Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical equipment, in particular to a static contact and a molded case circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Molded case circuit breakers mainly include contact systems and arc extinguishing systems. The static contact is the main component in the contact system. It realizes the overall opening and closing of the circuit breaker by disconnecting with the moving contact. Therefore, the working quality of the static contact directly affects the overall working performance of the circuit breaker.

[0003] In order to ensure the stability of the linkage between the static contact and the moving contact when the existing static contact is assembled into the housing, it is fixed by fasteners such as small bolts to ensure that the static contact does not deviate or shake during the use of the molded case circuit breaker. However, this fixing method requires at least two fixing holes to be opened on the static contact, such as a static contact of a molded case circuit breaker disclosed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN206163443U. This not only increases the processing and assembly procedures of the static contact, but also increases the overall installation height of the static contact, resulting in the inability to miniaturize the size of the molded case circuit breaker. In addition, the connection is prone to temperature rise, resulting in excessive local temperature of the static contact, which affects the practical life of the static contact.

[0020] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection of two components; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

A connecting hole 160 is provided at the end of the power connection portion 110 away from the bending portion 120, and a fixing hole 170 is provided between the connecting hole 160 and the positioning protrusion 150.

[0025] In this embodiment, the static contact body 100 is provided with positioning protrusions 150 on both sides of the power connection part 110, and the positioning cavity 151 of the positioning protrusion 150 is used to clamp and position with the base of the molded case circuit breaker, and then a fastener is passed through the fixing hole 170 to realize the rapid and stable assembly of the static contact body 100 and the base of the molded case circuit breaker.
