Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the gradual development of the new energy industry market and the increasingly stringent control of the investment cost of combiner boxes and inverter equipment manufacturers, they hope to reduce the cost of equipment by increasing the system voltage. At present, the DC voltage in the low-voltage field will gradually increase from DC1500V to DC3000V, and the rated voltage and breaking capacity of the corresponding DC circuit breakers will also increase accordingly. Therefore, high-voltage DC circuit breakers will become the mainstream products of the new energy industry in the future.

[0003] The biggest difference between AC and DC short-circuit breaking is that DC arc is not easy to extinguish, but the energy is small, while AC arc is easy to extinguish, but the energy is large. At present, the poles of DC circuit breakers can be connected in series in the circuit. Therefore, in order to achieve high-voltage short-circuit breaking and increase the rated working voltage, DC circuit breakers often use a multi-breakpoint external series connection method, which mainly includes four connection methods: connecting two adjacent moving contacts with a conductor; or connecting two static contacts with a conductor; or connecting two adjacent static contacts with a conductor; or connecting a moving contact with an adjacent static contact with a conductor. However, the external series connection structure has the phenomenon of exposed copper busbars, and the electrical clearance and creepage distance are difficult to guarantee in actual use. For high-voltage DC circuit breakers, it is easy to have phase-to-phase breakdown or relative breakdown, which makes the circuit breaker lose the function of cutting off the current and fails to achieve the purpose of protecting the circuit.

[0052] The contact assembly provided in this embodiment includes a first contact group 2, and the two first moving contacts 21 of the first contact group 2 are connected in series through a short-circuit bar 5, thereby improving the high-voltage breaking capacity of the circuit breaker; the first contact group 2 and the short-circuit bar 5 are both arranged in the base 1, thereby ensuring the electrical clearance and creepage distance of the circuit breaker in use, and the circuit breaker is not prone to breakdown, thereby improving the performance of the circuit breaker in cutting off the current, and achieving the purpose of effectively protecting the circuit; and the short-circuit bar 5 is plugged into the base 1, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the short-circuit bar 5, reducing the use of parts and components, and a connecting portion 51 is provided on the short-circuit bar 5, and the connecting portion 51 is connected to the first moving contact 21 through a flexible connecting line 6, so that while realizing the series connection of the two first moving contacts 21, the action of the first moving contact 21 is not affected, and the use of the short-circuit bar 5 is reduced, thereby reducing the cost.

[0053] In actual use, current flows from the second terminal 4 to the first terminal 3 via the second static contact 23, the two first moving contacts 21 and the first static contact 22. The two first moving contacts 21 are fixed in the base 1 by the rotating shafts, and the first moving contacts 21 can rotate relative to the base 1.

[0055] The short-circuit bar 5 is provided with a convex connection portion 51 and a concave positioning groove 52 on its edge. The base 1 is provided with a positioning block 12, which is inserted into the positioning groove 52 to position the installation position of the short-circuit bar 5, facilitate the quick installation of the short-circuit bar 5, and also fix the short-circuit bar 5.

[0056] Further optionally, the two connection parts 51 are symmetrically arranged relative to the positioning groove 52, and the positioning groove 52 is arranged in the middle position of the short-circuit bar 5. The short-circuit bar 5 can be installed on the base 1 when it is rotated 180° around the vertical axis.

[0057] A first baffle plate 13 is provided in the base 1, a first static contact 22 and a second static contact 23 are provided on both sides of the first baffle plate 13, and two first moving contacts 21 are provided on both sides of the first baffle plate 13. The first baffle plate 13 plays a role in isolating adjacent phases of the circuit breaker, and increases the electrical clearance and creepage distance of the circuit breaker during the use of the circuit breaker. For a high-voltage DC circuit breaker, it is not easy to have phase-to-phase breakdown, and the performance of the circuit breaker in cutting off the current is improved, achieving the purpose of protecting the circuit. At least one plug-in slot 11 is provided on the base 1 on both sides of the first baffle plate 13 to stably fix the short-circuit bar 5. Insertion grooves 11 are respectively recessed on both sides of the first baffle plate 13, and a positioning block 12 is formed between the two insertion grooves 11. The edge of the short-circuit bar 5 is inserted into the insertion groove 11, and the positioning block 12 is inserted into the positioning groove 52.

[0058] Plug-in blocks are provided in the base 1 on both sides of the first baffle plate 13, and plug-in slots 11 are provided on the plug-in blocks. The two plug-in blocks are symmetrically arranged relative to the first baffle plate 13 so that the short-circuit bar 5 can be installed and fixed on the base 1 even when it is rotated 180° around the vertical axis.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments, since the first wiring terminal 3 is connected to the first static contact 22, the second wiring terminal 4 is connected to the second static contact 23, and the first static contact 22 and the second static contact 23 are arranged at intervals, in order to reduce the size of the circuit breaker in the width direction, the second wiring terminal 4 is arranged opposite to the first wiring terminal 3, and the second wiring terminal 4 is connected to the second static contact 23 through the adapter row 7. A second baffle plate 14 is provided in the base 1 between the adapter row 7 and the short-circuit row 5, and the second baffle plate 14 isolates the adapter row 7 and the short-circuit row 5 to prevent the adapter row 7 and the short-circuit row 5 from short-circuiting under high voltage, thereby ensuring that the circuit breaker can work normally.

[0060] The transfer row 7 is connected to the second static contact 23 by bolts. The transfer row 7 extends along the arrangement direction of the first static contact 22 and the second static contact 23. One end of the transfer row 7 is vertically connected to the first connection plate, and the other end of the transfer row 7 is vertically connected to the second connection plate. The second connection plate and the first connection plate are spaced apart in the width direction of the transfer row 7. The first connection plate is connected to the second terminal 4, and the second connection plate is connected to the second static contact 23.

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the contact assembly of the circuit breaker also includes a second contact group 8, which is arranged in the base 1, and a third baffle plate 15 is arranged in the base 1 between the second contact group 8 and the first contact group 2, and the second contact group 8 includes a second moving contact 81 and a third static contact 82, the third static contact 82 is connected to the third wiring terminal 9, and the second moving contact 81 is connected to the fourth wiring terminal 10. An external load is connected between the fourth wiring terminal 10 and the second wiring terminal 4. After the circuit breaker is closed, the current flows from the third wiring terminal 9 to the fourth wiring terminal 10, and then flows to the second wiring terminal 4 and the first wiring terminal 3 after passing through the load, forming a loop. And when the current flows from the second wiring terminal 4 to the first wiring terminal 3, the current flow direction in the second static contact 23 is opposite to the current flow direction in the first moving contact 21 corresponding to the second static contact 23, which is conducive to the first moving contact 21 to be repelled.

[0062] The first stationary contact 22 , the second stationary contact 23 and the third stationary contact 82 are arranged side by side. In some embodiments, the first stationary contact 22 is placed between the third stationary contact 82 and the second stationary contact 23 , the first terminal 3 is arranged adjacent to the third terminal 9 , and the second terminal 4 is arranged adjacent to the fourth terminal 10 . Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a structure of a contact assembly provided in this embodiment in an open state; Figure 8 It is a schematic structural diagram of a structure of a contact assembly provided in this embodiment in a closed state.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the second stationary contact 23 is placed between the first stationary contact 22 and the third stationary contact 82, the first terminal 3 and the third terminal 9 are spaced apart, and the second terminal 4 and the fourth terminal 10 are spaced apart, thereby increasing the creepage distance and electrical clearance between the phases of the incoming and outgoing lines. Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of another structure of the contact assembly provided in this embodiment in an open state; Fig.10 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of another structure of the contact assembly provided in this embodiment in the closed state.

[0064] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the third stationary contact 82 and the first stationary contact 22 both include a first stationary contact body 221 , a connecting plate 222 , a first arc-starting plate 224 and a first magnetizing component 225 .

[0065] The first static contact body 221 is in an S-shaped structure, and one end of the first static contact body 221 is connected to the third terminal 9 or the first terminal 3. One end of the connecting plate 222 is connected to the other end of the first static contact body 221, and the connecting plate 222 and the first static contact body 221 form a U-shaped structure, and the other end of the connecting plate 222 is provided with a first static contact 223. Optionally, the connecting plate 222 is formed by bending the other end of the first static contact body 221, which reduces the amount of material used, and the connecting plate 222 makes the direction of current flow opposite to the direction of current flow on the first static contact body 221, thereby increasing the electric repulsion force on the first moving contact 21, accelerating the transfer of the arc at the first static contact 223, and reducing the burning of the arc on the first static contact 223.

[0066] One end of the first arc-starting plate 224 is connected to the first static contact 223. Optionally, the first arc-starting plate 224 is connected to the first static contact 223 by welding. The other end of the first arc-starting plate 224 is insulated and connected to the first static contact body 221 to prevent the first arc-starting plate 224 and the first static contact body 221 from breaking down, so that the connecting plate 222 loses the function of magnetizing. The first arc-starting plate 224 is a ferromagnetic material or a pure copper material. Optionally, an insulating paperboard 226 is provided on the first static contact body 221, and the first arc-starting plate 224 is connected to the insulating paperboard 226.

[0067] The first magnetizing component 225 is in a U-shaped structure. The first magnetizing component 225 is arranged below the first static contact 223. The first static contact 223 is placed in the U-shaped space of the first magnetizing component 225, and the two ends of the first magnetizing component 225 are flush with the first static contact 223. The first magnetizing component 225 is placed in the U-shaped space surrounded by the connecting plate 222 and the first static contact body 221. The first magnetizing component 225 can enhance the magnetic field at the first static contact 223 during the disconnection of the circuit breaker, thereby increasing the electric repulsion force on the first moving contact 21, accelerating the transfer of the arc at the first static contact 223, and reducing the burning of the first static contact 223 by the arc. Optionally, the first magnetizing component 225 includes a plurality of U-shaped magnetizing plates, and the plurality of magnetizing plates are connected by riveting.

[0068] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the second static contact 23 includes a second static contact body 231 , a second arc-starting plate 233 and a second magnetizing component 234 .

[0069] The second static contact body 231 is in an S-shaped structure. One end of the second static contact body 231 is connected to the second terminal 4, and the other end of the second static contact body 231 is provided with a second static contact 232. One end of the second arc-starting plate 233 is connected to the second static contact 232. The current flow direction in the second static contact body 231 is opposite to the current flow direction in the first moving contact 21 corresponding to the second static contact body 231, which is conducive to the repulsion of the first moving contact 21. The second magnetizing component 234 is in a U-shaped structure. The second magnetizing component 234 is arranged below the second static contact 232. The second static contact 232 is placed in the U-shaped space of the second magnetizing component 234, and the two ends of the second magnetizing component 234 are flush with the second static contact 232. The second magnetizing component 234 can enhance the magnetic field at the second static contact 232 during the circuit breaker disconnection process, thereby increasing the electromotive repulsion force on the first moving contact 21, accelerating the transfer of the arc at the second static contact 232, and reducing the arc burning of the second static contact 232. Optionally, the second magnetizing component 234 includes a plurality of U-shaped magnetizing plates, and the plurality of magnetizing plates are connected by riveting.

[0070] Alternatively, if Fig.13 As shown, the second terminal 4 is arranged opposite to the first terminal 3, and part of the second static contact body 231 is placed below the first moving contact 21. The base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 16 that penetrates the base 1, and the part of the second static contact body 231 placed below the first moving contact 21 is placed in the mounting groove 16 to position and install the second static contact 23, and the bottom cover of the mounting groove 16 is provided with an insulating cover 17 to insulate and isolate the second static contact 23 from other components.

[0071] This embodiment also provides a circuit breaker, which is a DC circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes the contact assembly of the circuit breaker mentioned above, and is specifically a DC circuit breaker with three stages in appearance and two stages in series inside, suitable for breaking under high voltage.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the circuit breaker also includes a release 200 and an operating mechanism 100. The release 200 can be a thermal magnetic release. A release 200 is provided corresponding to the first contact group 2. The release 200 is connected to the short-circuit row 5. The two stages share a release 200, which not only protects the circuit, but also reduces the number of parts and components, saving costs. The release 200 enables the operating mechanism 100 to perform a tripping action, thereby disconnecting the circuit breaker. A release 200 is provided corresponding to the second contact group 8.

[0073] The release 200 includes a magnetic trip unit and a thermal trip unit. The yoke 201 of the magnetic trip unit is connected to the short-circuit bar 5, and the bimetallic piece 203 of the thermal trip unit is connected to the short-circuit bar 5. The current on the short-circuit bar 5 flows through the yoke 201. When the short-circuit current is relatively large, the magnetized yoke 201 can generate a sufficiently large electromagnetic attraction to attract the armature 202. The armature 202 rotates until one end of the armature 202 contacts the yoke 201, and the other end of the armature 202 hits the traction rod of the operating mechanism 100, causing the operating mechanism 100 to perform a tripping action. In the case of a current higher than the rated current, the short-circuit bar 5 generates a higher temperature at the position where the bimetallic piece 203 is connected, causing it to bend and deform greatly.
