Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to an arc striking structure. Background Art
[0002] The static contact of the electromagnetic tripping device in the circuit breaker is welded to the coil, and the static contact is formed with an arc-striking structure, which quickly guides the arc at the contact position into the arc extinguishing chamber. In the patent publication number CN219085918U, a static contact assembly of an electromagnetic tripping device and a circuit breaker are disclosed, which include a static contact and an arc-striking plate. The static contact has a plug-in tab and the arc-striking plate has a socket. During the connection process, the plug-in tab is inserted into the socket to complete the connection between the static contact and the arc-striking plate. However, the connection firmness of this connection method is general. When the circuit breaker is subjected to a violent impact or vibration, the plug-in tab will be separated from the socket, or the plug-in tab will be displaced, so that the plug-in tab and the socket cannot be in close contact, reducing the contact surface between the two. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of low connection strength between the plug-in protrusion and the socket in the prior art, thereby providing an arc-striking structure that can effectively increase the contact surface between the static contact and the arc-striking plate.
[0004] To this end, the utility model provides an arc striking structure, including: a static contact; an arc striking plate, an end of which contacts the static contact and is provided with a connection structure that forms electricity with the static contact; an arc isolating plate, located above the connection structure, and the connection structure has a deformation state that fits with the static contact when the arc isolating plate is pressed down.
[0005] Further: the connecting structure includes a bent plate arranged on either side of the static contact or the arc striking plate, and a convex rib in contact with the bent plate is provided on the arc isolating plate, and the convex rib is interference fit with the bent plate. When the connecting structure is in a deformed state, the convex rib squeezes the bent plate so that the bent plate deforms toward the side facing away from the convex rib.
[0006] Further: the bending plate is located on the arc-striking plate, the arc-striking plate includes an arc-striking body and a connecting plate connected to the bending plate, the bending plate and the connecting plate form an "L"-shaped structure, the static contact includes a bending end in contact with the connecting plate and the bending plate, and a connecting end connected to the electromagnetic system, the bending plate is clamped on the upper end surface of the bending end, and the static contact has a static contact point, which is located on the side of the bending end facing away from the connecting plate.
[0007] Furthermore: the electromagnetic system also includes a moving contact in contact with the static contact, the arc isolation plate includes an upper partition and a lower partition, the upper partition and the lower partition are located on the upper and lower sides of the moving contact and the static contact, and are surrounded to form a space for separating the arc, and the rib is located at the upper partition.
[0008] Furthermore: a side of the upper partition that contacts the bending plate is provided with an avoidance groove for avoiding the bending plate, and the convex rib is provided in the avoidance groove and can conflict with the bending plate.
[0009] Furthermore: guiding slopes are provided on both sides of the avoidance groove for guiding the bent plate to be inserted into the avoidance groove.
[0010] Furthermore: a slot is formed between the arc striking body and the connecting plate for the bent end to be inserted into.
[0011] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The utility model provides an arc-striking structure. During the installation process, the static contact is first installed on the circuit breaker housing, and then the arc-striking plate is installed. The connection structure can be connected by plugging or snapping instead of welding. After the arc-striking plate and the static contact are installed, the arc-isolating plate is placed over the arc-striking plate and the static contact, so that the arc-isolating plate squeezes the connection structure, thereby tightly connecting the arc-striking plate and the static contact. This is superior to the existing technology, can eliminate the welding process, reduce the spot welding process and cost, and is easy to assemble and can form reliable electrical conduction.
[0013] 2. The utility model provides an arc-striking structure, in which a bent plate is arranged on the arc-striking plate, and a convex rib is arranged under the arc-isolating plate. When the arc-isolating plate covers the static contact and the arc-striking plate, the convex rib will squeeze the bent plate, causing the bent plate to deform downward, thereby making the bent plate more closely fit the surface of the bent end, increasing the contact area between the bent plate and the bent end, and achieving reliable conduction.

The connection structure can be replaced by welding by plugging or snapping. After the arc-striking plate 2 and the static contact 1 are installed, the arc-isolating plate 3 is covered on top of the arc-striking plate 2 and the static contact 1, so that the arc-isolating plate 3 squeezes the connection structure, thereby making the arc-striking plate 2 and the static contact 1 tightly connected. This is superior to the existing technology, can save the welding process, reduce the spot welding process and cost, and is easy to assemble and can form reliable conduction.
