DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0021] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , an electrode structure with evenly distributed arcs in a vacuum interrupter includes a cup base 1 and contact pieces 2 and conductive rods 4 arranged at its upper and lower ends. A connecting sleeve 3 is sleeved on the conductive rod 4, which can facilitate the assembly and connection of the conductive rod 4 to the cup base 1. The connecting sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to the conductive rod 4, and the upper end of the connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cup base 1. There is a placement groove at the upper end of the cup base 1. The number of the placement grooves is distributed in a ring shape and is used to arrange a plurality of support blocks 5 to stably support the contact piece 2. A support block 5 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the placement groove to support the contact piece 2. The upper end of the support block 5 penetrates through the placement groove and abuts against the lower end of the contact piece 2. A connecting rod 6 is slidably inserted into the lower end of the support block 5 to prevent the second spring 7 from being skewed. The lower end of the connecting rod 6 slidably penetrates through the second spring 7 and is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the placement groove. A second spring 7 is fixedly connected between the lower end of the support block 5 and the inner bottom of the placement groove to elastically support the support block 5;
[0022] In this embodiment, the lower end of the contact piece 2 is fixedly connected with a plurality of fixing rods 9 distributed in an annular shape, which are used to prevent the contact piece 2 from loosening. The lower end of the fixing rod 9 is set in a cone shape, which is used to reduce the resistance when pushing the card block 10. The upper end of the fixing rod 9 is fixedly sleeved with a fixing ring 8, which is used to improve the firmness between the fixing rod 9 and the contact piece 2. The upper side wall of the fixing ring 8 is fixedly connected with the lower side wall of the contact piece 2. The upper end of the cup holder 1 is provided with a slot corresponding to the fixing rod 9, and a slide groove is provided on the inner side wall of the slot. The lower end of the fixing rod 9 slides and extends into the slot. A slider 12 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the slide groove, which is used to drive the card block 10 to move and reset. The upper and lower ends of the slider 12 are provided with arc grooves, and the inner side wall of the arc groove is rollingly connected with a ball, which is used to reduce the resistance of the slider 12 when it moves. Part of the ball passes through the arc groove and abuts against the inner side wall of the slide groove.
[0023] In this embodiment, a wedge-shaped block 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 12 close to the fixed rod 9, which is used to cooperate with the slot to lock the position of the fixed rod 9. A slot corresponding to the block 10 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed rod 9. One end of the block 10 penetrates the slot and slides into the slot. Four rectangularly distributed support rods 14 are slidably inserted on one side of the slider 12 close to the block 10, which are used to support and guide the movement of the slider 12. One end of the support rod 14 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 11 to prevent the slider 12 from completely detaching from the slot. The other end of the support rod 14 penetrates the slider 12 and is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the slot. A first spring 13 is sleeved on the support rod 14 to elastically support the slider 12. The two ends of the first spring 13 respectively resist the slider 12 and the inner side wall of the slot.
[0024] In this embodiment, the conductive rod 4 is first screwed into the connecting sleeve 3, and the conductive rod 4 is connected and fixed to the cup holder 1 through the action of threaded engagement, so that the conductive rod 4 and the cup holder 1 are quickly assembled. At the same time, the contact piece 2 is manually pressed down to drive the fixing rod 9 to be inserted into the slot. During the insertion process, the lower end of the fixing rod 9 abuts against the wedge surface of the block 10. Under the influence of the thrust, the fixing rod 9 pushes the block 10 to move in the direction of the slide groove, and the block 10 drives the slider 12 to move, and the slider 12 compresses the first spring 13. When the contact piece 2 is fitted with the cup holder 1, the fixing rod 9 stops moving. At this time, the slider 12 is pushed to move and reset by the elasticity of the first spring 13, and the block 10 is pushed to move and reset into the slot by the slider 12, thereby locking the fixing rod 9 in position to prevent the contact piece 2 from loosening. After the contact piece 2 is pressed down and fitted with the cup holder 1, the second spring 7 elastically supports the support block 5, and the support block 5 elastically supports the lower side wall of the contact piece 2, thereby preventing the contact piece 2 from shaking and improving stability.
[0025] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
