The protruding ring 120 can effectively prevent dust and dirt from entering the groove 110, ensuring the normal operation of the electrical contact; the first insulating layer 111 is in contact with the inner surface of the groove 110, which can effectively isolate the contact body 100 from the external environment; the second insulating layer 121 is connected to the bottom surface of the protruding ring 120 and the bottom surface of the groove 110, further enhancing the insulation performance of the electrical contact and improving the safety of use; one end of the moving component is connected to the inner top surface of the groove 110, and the electrical contact can be retracted and expanded by the extension and contraction of the moving component, which improves the versatility and flexibility of the electrical contact.

[0055] Specifically, the retractable silver graphite electrical contact also includes:

[0056] The sleeve 140 has a top connected to the bottom of the connecting tube 130 .

[0057] It can be understood that the top of the sleeve 140 is connected to the bottom of the connecting cylinder 130, which can further enhance the structural stability and connection reliability of the electrical contact.

[0058] Specifically, the mobile components include:

[0059] The first spring 150 has one end connected to the inner top surface of the groove 110 .

[0060] The connecting block 160 has one end connected to the other end of the first spring 150 .

[0061] There are two sliders 170 , and the two sliders 170 are arranged opposite to each other at one end of the connecting block 160 away from the first spring 150 .

[0062] The slide groove is provided on the left and right sides of the connecting tube 130 , and the slide groove is adapted to the sliding block 170 .

[0063] Specifically, the mobile components also include:

[0064] The driving rod 180 is located inside the sleeve 140 , and one end of the driving rod 180 is connected to the other end of the connecting block 160 .

[0065] A push rod 190 , one end of which is connected to the other end of the driving rod 180 , and the other end of the push rod 190 extends out of the sleeve 140 .

[0066] It can be understood that one end of the first spring 150 is connected to the inner top surface of the groove 110, and the other end of the first spring 150 is connected to the connecting block 160, so that the movement of the contact body 100 can be realized; the slider 170 is relatively arranged at the end of the connecting block 160 away from the first spring 150, and the slider 170 is adapted to the slide groove, which can ensure the stability and smoothness of the connecting block 160 during the movement; the driving rod 180 is located inside the sleeve 140, one end of which is connected to the other end of the connecting block 160, and the other end of the driving rod 180 is connected to one end of the pushing rod 190, and the other end of the pushing rod 190 extends out of the sleeve 140, and the driving rod 180 and the connecting block 160 can be driven to move by pushing the pushing rod 190, thereby realizing the contraction and expansion of the electrical contact.

When the length of the contact body 100 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic column 181 can be retracted into the sleeve 140 by pressing, and then the pushing rod 190 is pushed again to drive the driving rod 180 so that the telescopic column 181 is stuck in the corresponding limiting hole 182. This is conducive to improving the adaptability and flexibility of the electric contact, so that it can adapt to different working environments and usage requirements. The telescopic column 181 can also effectively prevent the electric contact from shaking or being unstable during the contraction and expansion process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electric contact.

The graphite matrix is ​​placed in a graphite mold, and a corresponding positioning mechanism is used to cast it in a medium frequency induction furnace, so that the metal silver is evenly coated around the graphite matrix to form a silver coating layer, and the entire graphite matrix is ​​wrapped with the silver coating layer to form a silver-coated graphite ingot. The prepared silver-coated graphite ingot is placed in a hot isostatic press, impregnated with silver at a set temperature and pressure, and then kept warm and pressurized, and then cooled to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the contact body 100 .

[0075] It is understood that the material density of the contact body 100 is 4.8±0.3 g / cm 3 , chemical composition: Ag content 70wt%±5wt%, and the rest is C.

[0076] Specifically, the retractable silver graphite electrical contact also includes:

[0077] The anti-oxidation layer covers the outer surfaces of the first insulating layer 111 and the second insulating layer 121 .
