Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of on-load tap-changers, and particularly relates to a moving contact assembly and an on-load tap-changer. Background Art

[0002] An on-load tap-changer refers to a voltage regulating device suitable for operation under the excitation or load of a transformer and used to change the tap connection position of the transformer winding. Its basic principle is to realize the switching between taps in the transformer winding without interrupting the load current, thereby changing the number of turns of the winding, that is, the voltage ratio of the transformer, and ultimately achieving the purpose of voltage regulation.

[0003] Such tap-changers mainly consist of an insulating bracket installation, main contacts, main contact seats, clamping rings, and rolling contacts. The auxiliary contact seat on the insulating bracket is a laminated part, which is complex to process and costly, and needs to be installed on the clamping ring and fixed on the round shaft. The remaining installation space is very small, so the sizes of the moving contact and the rolling contact have to be reduced, resulting in a reduced range of movement, an increased pressure between the static contact, the moving contact, and the rolling contact, making it very difficult to switch gears, and in severe cases, even getting stuck and unable to switch gears. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The embodiments of the utility model provide a moving contact assembly and an on-load tap-changer, which can solve the technical problem of difficult gear switching existing in the existing moving contact assembly.

[0005] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the utility model provide a moving contact assembly, including an insulating bracket, two oppositely arranged clip-type main contacts, a plurality of rolling contact members, a contact seat, and a spring piece. One end of the rolling contact member is connected to the spring piece, and the other end of the spring piece is connected to the contact seat. A contact groove is formed on the insulating bracket, and the contact seat is arranged in the contact groove. The rolling contact member includes an independent main rolling contact member and a transition rolling contact member. The contact seat connected to the main rolling contact member is connected to the main contact. The main contact is arranged in the contact groove, and one end of the main contact close to the rolling contact member extends outside the contact groove.

[0006] Advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model: By setting the insulating bracket as a plate shape and then providing contact head grooves thereon to fix the contact head seat and the main contact head, and connecting the contact head seat with a spring piece, the rolling contact member connected with the spring piece is fixed. By changing the shape of the insulating bracket, the use of laminates and clamping rings is reduced, increasing the available space on the bracket. Thus, the spring steel sheet for fixing the rolling contact can be lengthened, increasing its elasticity and reducing the pressure between the rolling contacts, thereby reducing the risk of jamming during switching. At the same time, the width of the main contact head can be increased, enabling a higher current to pass through, and making the switch more reliable and safe. The change in the shape of the bracket can also make the assembly more convenient. One only needs to fix it according to the hole positions, without the need to measure and adjust with a ruler, greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0007] In one embodiment, each of the rolling contact members includes two rolling contacts arranged oppositely. Each of the rolling contacts is sleeved on a shaft, and the rolling contact can rotate around the shaft. Two ends of the shaft are connected to a shaft bracket, and the shaft bracket is connected to one end of the spring piece.

[0008] Advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model: The shaft and the shaft bracket can fix the rolling contact, and then through the spring piece and the contact head seat, the insulating bracket can fix the rolling contact. The spring piece can reduce the pressure between the rolling contacts.

[0009] In one embodiment, the contact head seat connected to the main rolling contact member is connected to the main contact head through a connecting piece. The connecting piece is arranged between the contact head groove and the contact head seat. The connecting piece is in surface contact with the contact head seat and in point contact with the main contact head.

[0010] Advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model: By arranging the connecting piece between the contact head groove and the contact head seat, the fixing of the connecting piece can be realized, and at the same time, the contact area between the connecting piece and the contact head seat can be increased, thus ensuring the effective contact between the connecting piece and the contact head seat and enabling a higher current to pass through.

[0011] In one embodiment, there are two sets of the transition rolling contact members.

[0012] Advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model: Arranging two sets of transition rolling contact members can form a double-resistance circuit, thus ensuring the stability during switching.

[0013] In one embodiment, the insulating bracket is in a convex-shaped plate form. The protruding part of the insulating bracket faces the rolling contact member. Three contact head grooves are respectively arranged on two opposite surfaces of the insulating bracket along the protruding direction of the insulating bracket. The contact head groove provided with the main contact head is arranged along the protruding direction of the insulating bracket, and one end of the main contact head extends outside the protruding part of the insulating bracket.

[0014] Advantages of the embodiment of the present utility model: By respectively arranging three contact grooves on the opposite two surfaces of the insulating bracket, the fixation of three groups of rolling contact members can be realized. Meanwhile, by setting the insulating bracket in a convex shape, the position of the main contact can be closer to the rolling contact.

[0015] In one embodiment, the main contact is connected to the insulating bracket by a pin.

[0016] Advantages of the embodiment of the present utility model: Connecting the main contact and the insulating bracket by a pin can make the up-and-down movement of the main contact unobstructed, thus facilitating the setting of the flexible connection in the middle of the clip-type main contact.

[0017] In one embodiment, the contact seat is Z-shaped. The two parallel sides of the contact seat are respectively connected to the insulating bracket and the spring piece, and the contact seat is connected to the insulating bracket and the spring piece by bolts.

[0018] Advantages of the embodiment of the present utility model: By setting the contact seat in a Z shape, the space of the main contact can be further increased. The bolts can firmly fix the contact seat on the insulating bracket and are also convenient for assembly.
