Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the electrical field of low-voltage switches, and in particular to a contact system of a molded case circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] The connection and disconnection of single-breakpoint molded case circuit breakers are often achieved by the contact and separation of moving and static contacts.

[0003] There are usually two ways to connect the existing moving contact and the terminal. One is to use a soft connection, one end of the soft connection is welded to the moving contact, and the other end of the soft connection is welded to the terminal. The other is to use a hard connection structure, including a conductive bracket and a hard busbar, the moving contact and the conductive bracket form a rotational connection (the conductive bracket serves as both a rotating support and a conductor), and the conductive bracket is connected to the terminal through the hard busbar (using riveting, screws, etc.).

[0004] When using a soft connection, since both ends of the soft connection need to be welded, this connection method will cause the temperature rise of the product to be relatively high.

[0005] However, if the processing precision of the existing hard connection method is not high or the conductive bracket is fatigued, it is easy to cause the conductive bracket and the moving contact to be loose, which will lead to a decrease in the conductive performance. And if the gap between the conductive bracket and the moving contact reaches a certain level, the arc may burn the transition part of the moving contact.

[0006] For example, a circuit breaker with high arc extinguishing performance disclosed in CN214898283U adopts the above-mentioned hard connection structure.

[0007] Therefore, how to improve the hard connection structure is also a direction worthy of further study in this field. Summary of the invention
