Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly and energy-saving AC contactor and electrical equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the vigorous development of the automation industry, artificial intelligence industry, smart sensors, computer technology, control technology, and electronic technology, the role of control appliances has become increasingly important and their uses have become increasingly widespread. There are many types of control appliances, such as AC contactors and DC contactors, which can be used to frequently connect or disconnect various terminal appliances over long distances. Control of common daily life equipment such as motors, transformers, and lighting. It covers a wide range of fields and plays an important role in agriculture, industry, transportation, life, and production, and in people's lives and the development of social and economic benefits.
[0003] At present, both AC contactors and DC contactors are widely used in various industries. However, they are widely used and consume a lot of electricity in long-term operation. In order to meet the green development of the national economy, my country will implement the new version (GB 21518-2022, AC contactor energy efficiency limit values and energy efficiency grades) from January 1, 2024.
[0004] However, so far, the products launched in the field of energy-saving technology of AC contactors in my country have good energy-saving indicators and their performances are also different. For example, China Patent No. CN1107963C (mechanical self-locking AC contactor) uses mechanical self-locking and electromagnet unlocking to lock the contacts of the AC contactor in a closed state to achieve energy saving. Its disadvantages are complex structure, large product modification range, high modification cost, and failure to automatically disconnect when the power grid suddenly fails, which poses certain safety problems. Similarly, China Patent No. ZL200820302979.8 (AC contactor energy-saving device) uses DC high-voltage start-up. The principle of DC low-voltage operation achieves energy saving. Its disadvantages are high cost, easy aging of electronic components, and not suitable for use in high temperature and high humidity environments. In China Patent No. 201420101284.9 (an energy-saving AC contactor), one iron core is permanent magnet. The other iron core is soft magnetic and is wound with a coil that generates reverse magnetic flux. Permanent magnets are used to lock the contacts of the contactor, keeping them in a closed state to achieve energy saving. When the contactor needs to be restored to its initial state, the coil in the soft iron core is energized to generate reverse magnetic flux to repel the permanent magnet, causing it to return to its original position under the action of the reset spring. The disadvantages are that permanent magnets are easy to demagnetize, soft iron is easy to generate residual magnetism, the electronic circuit is expensive, and if the release circuit fails, there will be safety issues.
[0005] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a contactor with a simple structure and low cost. Utility Model Content

At the same time, because the life of this type of contactor is greatly increased, it also saves a lot of raw material loss for society and reduces costs.
[0054] In one optional embodiment, the coil module 200 includes: at least two coils and at least two first diodes. Each first diode corresponds to a coil, the first coil K1 is connected to the second end of the first position switch KF1 through the first diode, and the last coil is connected to the second end of the second position switch KF2 through the second diode; if there are remaining coils, each of the remaining coils corresponds to two first diodes, and is respectively connected to the third end and the fourth end of the first rectifier filter circuit 100 through the two first diodes.
[0055] When the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are closed, the voltage output by the first rectifier and filter circuit 100 is greater than or equal to the conduction voltage of each first diode, each first diode is turned on, and each coil is connected in parallel; when the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are opened, the voltage output by the first rectifier and filter circuit 100 is less than the conduction voltage of each diode, each first diode is turned off, and each coil is connected in series.
[0056] Specifically, the coil module 200 may include at least two coils (K1, K2, K3----Kn). In this embodiment, the coil module 200 may include only two coils or multiple coils. However, for each additional coil, three diodes need to be added, including two first diodes connected to the two ends of the coil respectively, and a second diode connecting the coil to the adjacent coil. In one optional embodiment, the coil module 200 is an excitation winding, and the excitation winding is divided into at least two sections of coils to obtain multiple coils.
[0057] In this embodiment, the same excitation winding is divided into 2 to N sections. This circuit can greatly increase the starting attraction of the electromagnet, and automatically switch to an energy-saving working state after the start-up is completed. This solution can make the electromagnet or contactor start quickly or the starting force several times greater.
[0058] In one of the optional embodiments, the distance threshold is 1.5 mm, wherein the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are triggered to open by the electromagnet moving iron core 600 when the air gap between the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 is ≤1.5 mm.
[0059] When the contactor is started, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are closed, each coil is in a parallel state, and a starting current flows through the coil, so that the moving iron core 600 of the contactor moves toward the static iron core 700, and the filter energy storage device C3 in the voltage stabilizing module 400 stores energy; when the moving iron core 600 moves to a distance less than the distance threshold from the static iron core 700, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are opened, the voltage between the first end and the second end of the coil module 200 disappears, and the coil module 200 begins to be powered by the voltage at the third end and the fourth end of the coil module 200. The step-down circuit 300 reduces the voltage of the external alternating current, each coil is in a series state, the filter energy storage device C3 in the voltage stabilizing module 400 releases energy, and a holding current flows through the coil, so that the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 of the contactor remain in the attracted state.
[0060] In the above embodiment, only the first rectifier filter circuit 100, the first rectifier filter circuit 100, the step-down circuit 300, the first position switch KF1, the second position switch KF2, the coil module 200 and the voltage stabilizing module 400 are applied, thereby reducing the components, the structure is simple and miniaturized, and all of these components have high reliability operation characteristics. At the same time, because the life of this type of contactor is greatly increased, it also saves a lot of raw material loss for the society and reduces costs. The pull-in coil and the holding coil share a group, high voltage and high current pull-in, low voltage and low current hold, simplifying the process, saving costs, reducing power consumption, reducing the risk of holding coil failure, and improving product reliability.
[0061] In one of the optional embodiments, the coil module 200 also includes: at least two second diodes and a third diode D3; wherein each second diode corresponds to two coils, and the two ends of the first diode are respectively connected to different ends of two adjacent coils; the reverse input end of the first diode of the first coil K1 is connected to the second end of the voltage regulator module 400 through the third diode D3.
[0062] When the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are closed, the second diodes and the third diode D3 are turned off, and the coils are connected in parallel; when the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are opened, the second diodes and the third diode D3 are turned on, and the coils are connected in series.
[0063] Combination Figure 1As shown, a second diode is included between every two adjacent coils, and the positive electrode of the second diode is connected to the second end of the previous coil, and the negative electrode is connected to the first end of the next coil, wherein the first end of each coil is an end directly or indirectly (through the first diode) connected to the second end of the first position switch KF1, and the second end is an end directly or indirectly (through the first diode) connected to the second end of the second position switch KF2; at the same time, the first end of the first coil K1 is also connected to the second end of the voltage stabilizing module 400 through the third diode D3, and the second end of the last coil is directly connected to the third end of the voltage stabilizing module 400.
[0064] In one of the optional embodiments, by changing the voltage at the input end of the coil module 200, each diode connected to the coil is controlled to be turned on or off, so as to achieve the change of the parallel state and the series state of each coil.
[0065] In one of the optional embodiments, the cathode of the first diode is connected to the first end of the first coil K1 and the corresponding cathode of the third diode D3, the second end of the first coil K1 is connected to the second end of the second position switch KF2, and the anode of the first diode is connected to the second end of the first position switch KF1; the last coil is connected to the second end of the second position switch KF2 through another first diode, and the two ends of the remaining coils are respectively connected to the cathode of the first diode and the anode of another second diode, and the anode of the third diode D3 is connected to the second end of the voltage stabilizing module 400, and the two adjacent coils are connected through a second diode, the anode of the second diode is connected to the second end of the previous coil, and the cathode of the second diode is connected to the first end of the next coil.
[0066] Specific combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the coil loop includes a first diode D11, a first diode D121, a first diode D122 and a first diode D132, a second diode D212, a second diode D223 and a third diode D3D3; wherein the first end of the first coil K1 is connected to the cathode of the first diode D11 and the cathode of the third diode D3D3, the anode of the first diode D11 is connected to the second end of the first position switch KF1; the second end of the first coil K1 is connected to the anode of the second diode D212 and the second end of the second position switch KF2; the first end of the second coil K2 is connected to the first diode The cathode of the tube D121 and the cathode of the second diode D212 are connected, the anode of the first diode D11 is connected to the second end of the first position switch KF1, the second end of the second coil K2 is connected to the anode of the first diode D122 and the anode of the second diode D223, the cathode of the first diode D122 is connected to the second end of the second position switch KF2 and the cathode of the first diode D132, the second end of the third coil K3 is connected to the anode of the first diode D132, and the first end of the third coil K3 is connected to the cathode of the second diode D223 and the second end of the first position switch KF1.
[0067] When the AC contactor is started, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are closed, the voltage across the first end and the second end of the coil module 200 is greater than the voltage across the third end and the fourth end of the coil module 200, the first diode D11, the first diode D121, the first diode D122 and D132 are turned on, the second diode D212, the second diode D223 and the third diode D3D3 are turned off, the coils become connected in parallel, and the starting current flows through the coils, so that the moving iron core 600 of the AC contactor moves toward the static iron core 700, and the filter energy storage device C3 in the second rectifier filter circuit 101 stores energy.
[0068] When the moving iron core 600 moves to a distance less than the distance threshold from the static iron core 700, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are turned on, the voltage across the first and second ends of the coil module 200 is 0, which is less than the voltage across the third and fourth ends of the coil module 200, and each of the first diodes D11, D121, D122, and D132 is turned off, and the second diode D212, D223, and the third diode D3D3 are turned on, and each coil is switched from parallel to series, and a holding current flows through the coil, so that the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 of the contactor remain in the attracted state. For this reason, the coil module 200 in this application is both an attracting coil and a holding coil.
[0069] In the present application, when the contactor is started, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are closed, and the filter energy storage device C3 in the voltage stabilizing module 400 is charged and stored to provide high voltage for the coil module 200. The first rectifier filter circuit 100 provides a starting current in the coil module 200, so that the moving iron core 600 also moves downward under the action of electromagnetic attraction, that is, the moving iron core 600 of the contactor moves toward the static iron core 700, and the second rectifier filter circuit 101 stores energy in the filter energy storage device C3 in the voltage stabilizing component; when the distance between the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 is less than the distance threshold, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are opened, and the step-down circuit 300 will The voltage of the external AC power is reduced, that is, after being stepped down by the step-down circuit 300, the circuit changes from a high voltage to a low voltage, and then rectified by the second rectifier circuit, it becomes DC and continues to supply power to the coil module 200 through the voltage stabilizing component. The magnetic force generated by the coil module 200 may be insufficient to continue to move forward or to keep the moving iron core 600 in the attracted position due to the low voltage. However, at this time, the filter energy storage device C3 releases energy, and a starting current flows through the coil module 200, which is sufficient to maintain the moving iron core 600 in the attracted position, so that the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 of the contactor reach the attracted state, and then a holding current flows through the coil module 200 to maintain the contactor in the attracted state.
[0070] In one optional embodiment, a first resistor R1 is further provided between the two ends of the alternating current, and the first resistor R1 is a varistor.
[0071] In one of the optional embodiments, the voltage stabilizing module 400 includes: a second resistor R2, an energy storage device C3 and a voltage stabilizing diode D10, wherein the first end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the third end of the second rectifier and filter circuit 101; the first end of the energy storage device C3 is connected to the second end of the second resistor R2, and the second end is connected to the fourth end of the second rectifier and filter circuit 101 and the fourth end of the coil module 200; the first end of the voltage stabilizing diode D10 is connected to the second end of the second resistor R2 and the third end of the coil module 200, and the second end is connected to the second end of the energy storage device C3.
[0072] Optionally, the energy storage device C3 is a capacitor.
[0073] The voltage stabilizing module 400 can be a slow-charging and fast-discharging energy storage circuit; when a large-capacity capacitor is used for energy storage in the voltage stabilizing module 400, it will not cause excessive starting current, causing overcurrent in related components, such as the rectifier bridge, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 in this circuit, nor will it cause the starting current to be shunted by a large energy storage capacitor and extend the starting time.
[0074] In this embodiment, after the control power supply is connected, the entire control circuit is powered and operates normally, the first rectifier and filter circuit 100 provides high voltage for the coil module 200, the moving iron core 600 also moves downward under the action of electromagnetic attraction, and the trigger head 910 moves with the moving iron core 600; when the moving iron core 600 moves to the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2, the first position switch KF1 and the second position switch KF2 are turned on, the ground rectifier and filter circuit no longer supplies power to the coil module 200, but the second rectifier and filter circuit supplies power to the coil module 200, and the circuit is changed from high voltage to low voltage after being stepped down by the step-down circuit 300, and then rectified by the second rectifier and filter circuit 101, and then converted into DC and continued to supply power to the coil module 200 through the voltage stabilizing component. If the connection is not good at this time, the magnetic force generated by the coil module 200 may be insufficient to continue to move forward or keep the moving iron core 600 in the attracted position due to the low voltage. The filter and energy storage device C3 in this application will also supply power to the coil module 200, which is enough to make the coil module 200 run to the attraction and maintain the moving iron core 600 in the holding position. In this way, the attraction coil and the holding coil share a group, high voltage attraction, low voltage holding, which simplifies the process, saves costs, reduces power consumption, reduces the risk of failure of the holding coil, and improves the reliability of the product. When the reset spring 800 is reset later, it pulls the moving iron core 600 and the static iron core 700 apart, so that the normally open contact 900 is in an open state.

In this embodiment, the buck circuit 300 includes a fourth diode D4, a fifth diode D5, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2, wherein the anode of the fourth diode D4 and the cathode of the fifth diode D5 are connected to the alternating current, the cathode of the fourth diode D4 is connected to the first end of the third resistor R3, the anode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the first end of the fourth resistor R4, the second end of the third resistor R3, the first end of the first capacitor C1, the first end of the fifth resistor R5, the second end of the fourth resistor R4 and the first end of the second capacitor C2 are connected, and the second end of the first capacitor C1, the second end of the fifth resistor R5 and the second end of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the second end of the second rectifier and filter circuit 101.
