Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of contactors, in particular to an arc extinguishing chamber arc connecting plate structure of a contactor. Background Art

[0002] In mechanical and electrical engineering, the design of contactors is crucial for the on-off of circuits, the stable transmission of current, and the effective extinguishing of arcs. Traditional contactor contact structures mostly adopt single-breakpoint or complex multi-point designs. These designs often have problems such as difficulty in quickly extinguishing arcs, severe contact wear, and large material loss when dealing with high current loads and frequent switching operations. In addition, arc connection circuit parts mostly adopt "W" type or other complex structures. These structures not only increase manufacturing costs and processing difficulties, but also easily cause the arc to move inward, which is not conducive to the rapid extinguishing of arcs and the protection of contacts. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, an object of the utility model is to provide an arc extinguishing chamber arc connecting plate structure of a contactor with a simple structure, high arc extinguishing efficiency and long service life.

[0004] In order to achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts an arc extinguishing chamber arc connecting plate structure of a contactor, including a shell, in which a double-breakpoint contact assembly is arranged, the double-breakpoint contact assembly includes a moving contact assembly and a static contact assembly correspondingly arranged on both sides of the moving contact assembly, arc extinguishing chambers are respectively arranged between the moving contact assembly and the static contact assemblies on both sides, an arc connecting plate is also arranged at one end of the moving contact assembly, and both ends of the arc connecting plate respectively extend into the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the above structure is that: by arranging an arc connecting plate at one end of the moving contact assembly, and extending the two ends of the arc connecting plate into the arc extinguishing chambers on both sides respectively, when the double breakpoint contact is actuated, the arc can be quickly transferred from the moving contact assembly to the arc connecting plate, and the two arc extinguishing chambers jointly participate in extinguishing the arc, thereby effectively shortening the burning time of the arc and significantly reducing the material loss of the moving contact. Since the arc is quickly guided to the arc connecting plate and extinguished through the two arc extinguishing chambers, the direct effect of the arc on the moving contact assembly is reduced, thereby reducing the wear and material loss of the contact.

[0006] The utility model is further configured that the arc connection plate is a U-shaped structure, the arc connection plate includes a left side plate, a right side plate, and a connection plate connected to the left side plate and the right side plate respectively, the left side plate and the right side plate are arranged opposite to each other, and a transverse groove is formed at the upper end, and positioning blocks are formed on both sides of the left side plate and the right side plate, and the lower end edges of the left side plate and the right side plate are formed with sawtooth arc extinguishing teeth. The U-shaped arc connection plate can more effectively guide the arc to transfer from the moving contact assembly to the arc extinguishing chamber. When the contacts are separated, the arc will move rapidly along the arc connection plate, reducing the residence time of the arc in the contact area, thereby reducing the heat load and wear of the contacts. The sawtooth arc extinguishing teeth at the lower edge can increase the contact area between the arc and the arc extinguishing chamber wall, promote the cooling and splitting of the arc, and accelerate the arc extinguishing process.

[0007] The utility model is further configured that the housing includes an arc extinguishing chamber seat and an arc extinguishing chamber cover arranged on the arc extinguishing chamber seat, and the inner side wall of the arc extinguishing chamber seat is provided with matching card slots corresponding to the positioning blocks of the left plate and the right plate respectively. The card slots and the positioning blocks cooperate to enable the arc connection plate to be quickly and accurately positioned on the arc extinguishing chamber seat during installation, thereby avoiding misalignment and deviation during the installation process.
