Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of contactor coils, in particular to an overheat protection structure of an AC contactor coil. Background Art

[0002] AC contactors are commonly used switching devices in the refrigeration and heat pump industries to control three-phase fixed-frequency compressors. In actual applications, there are many cases where AC contactor coils heat up and burn out, or plastic parts deform, causing contactor failure. There has been no good solution to this problem in the industry.

[0003] There are several situations that cause the AC contactor coil to heat up: first, the moving mechanism is stuck by foreign objects, and it cannot be attracted after power is turned on, and the coil will heat up rapidly until it burns or deforms; second, the AC contactor voltage is too low, and the attraction is unstable, causing the coil to heat up quickly and burn out; third, the voltage is too high or other abnormal conditions cause heating and burning. It can be seen that the problem of AC contactor coil heating is theoretically unavoidable, and it can only be solved by protecting it after heating.

[0004] Therefore, we need to design an AC contactor coil overheat protection structure to protect the safety of the AC contactor coil.

[0005] For example, the prior art Chinese patent publication number "CN209001576U" provides an AC contactor coil overheating protection structure, comprising a coil cavity (100) and an AC contactor coil (200) wound on the coil cavity, wherein a PTC resistor (300) is connected in series to the AC contactor coil, and an insulating tape (400) is wrapped around the AC contactor coil on the coil cavity, and the PTC resistor is located between the insulating tape and the AC contactor coil.

[0006] The device has the characteristics of being not easy to burn out, having good reliability and low protection cost when heated.

[0007] In the existing AC contactor coil overheat protection structure, the PTC resistor is installed inside the sleeve. After it generates heat, the heat dissipation and cooling speed on its surface is slow, and the heat dissipation speed on the surface of the AC contactor coil is also slow. There is a lack of a fast and good heat dissipation and cooling structure, and the current in the AC contactor coil cannot be quickly and smoothly. Moreover, after the AC contactor coil is installed in the sleeve, the installation and connection are relatively simple and prone to looseness, causing the AC contactor coil to detach from the sleeve, and no structure is set at both ends to abut and stably install the AC contactor coil.
