[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical appliances, and particularly relates to a DC contact module with high current and high breaking capacity. Background Technique
[0002] At present, most of the DC isolators with high current on the market are isolators, which can only be used as an obvious disconnection point during the maintenance of the load side. It cannot operate with load and can only be disconnected after the circuit breaker on the load side is disconnected. If the circuit breaker at the lower end fails and cannot be separated, it is impossible to emergently disconnect the load side current, because it has no arc extinguishing ability. Forcibly disconnecting the load-carrying circuit will cause the switch to continuously arc and burn out. Therefore, this kind of isolator cannot complete the emergency disconnection of the load side current when the circuit breaker fails, which will cause unnecessary losses. Therefore, a DC isolator that can break high current is needed, which can break the load side current when the circuit breaker at the lower end fails, cut off the power supply of the load side in time, and reduce the losses of the electrical appliances on the load side caused by circuit failures. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the 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 the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Embodiment 1
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a DC contact module with high current and high breaking capacity, including an upper cover 1. At the bottom end of the upper cover 1, there are two housings 4, and the two housings 4 are used to support the arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2, the static contact assembly 3, and the moving contact assembly 5. At the center of the interior of the two housings 4, there is a moving contact assembly 5, and the moving contact assembly 5 is used to disperse the current when a large current passes through the circuit.
[0027] The moving contact assembly 5 includes a contact support 501. Inside the contact support 501, there are multiple spring pieces 502. The spring pieces 502 are used to provide pressure to the moving contact 504, so as to ensure good contact between the moving contact 504 and the static contact assembly 3. Inside the contact support 501, multiple magnetic conduction pieces 503 are fixedly connected. When current passes through the magnetic conduction pieces 503, suction force will be generated between the two magnetic conduction pieces 503, making the pressure of the moving contact 504 greater. Inside the multiple magnetic conduction pieces 503, there is a moving contact 504. The moving contact 504 is used to contact or separate from the static contact assembly 3, so as to control the cut-off or conduction of the load side of the DC contact module. The contact support 501 is rotatably connected to the center of the interior of the two housings 4. The contact support 501 is used to install and support the moving contact 504. The outer side of the magnetic conduction piece 503 is slidably connected to the inner side of the spring piece 502. The two housings 4 are connected by bolts in a threaded manner. At the outer top ends of the two housings 4, there are blocks processed. At the outer bottom end of the upper cover 1, there is a buckle adapted to the block. The upper cover 1 can be buckled to the top ends of the two housings 4. And inside the two housings 4, there are symmetrically arranged limiting blocks. Multiple square holes are penetrated through the outer wall of the contact support 501, and at one side of the front end and the rear end of the square hole, there are bosses processed. Inside the square hole, there are respectively installed the spring piece 502, the magnetic conduction piece 503, and the moving contact 504. The arc-shaped protrusions on the outer sides of the multiple spring pieces 502 are fixedly connected to the inside of the square hole. The inner side of the magnetic conduction piece 503 is provided with a groove, and the moving contact 504 is clamped inside the magnetic conduction piece 503. The groove of the magnetic conduction piece 503 cooperates with the boss of the contact support 501 for limiting, to prevent the spring piece 502, the magnetic conduction piece 503, and the moving contact 504 from separating from the contact support 501 during the closing and opening process. At the same time, through the mutual cooperation of the boss and the limiting block, the overall movement stroke of the moving contact assembly 5 can be limited.
[0028] By setting the moving contact assembly 5, good contact between it and the static contact assembly 3 can be ensured. At the same time, the three moving contacts 504 are in parallel connection. When a large current passes through the circuit, the current will be evenly divided by the three moving contacts 504, and the large current can be well dispersed. This not only increases the electrical life of the switch, but also makes the switch particularly stable.
[0029] Embodiment 2
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 andFigure 4 As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, static contact assemblies 3 are respectively arranged at the front end and the rear end of the two housings 4. The static contact assembly 3 includes a contact tip 301, and the contact tip 301 is used to contact with the moving contact 504 to complete the opening or closing state of the overall DC contact module. A wiring row 302 is fixedly connected to the outside of the plurality of contact tips 301, and the wiring row 302 is used to connect the contact tips 301 to the external connecting wires. An arc contact 303 is welded to the top end of one of the contact tips 301, and the arc contact 303 is used to bear the arc generated during the opening and closing of the switch. The wiring row 302 is respectively clamped inside the front end and the rear end of the two housings 4. An arc-resistant silver point is welded to the outer wall of the arc contact 303 for protecting the arc contact 303.
[0031] By arranging the static contact assembly 3 and welding an arc contact 303 on one of the contact tips 301, the arc contact 303 contacts the moving contact assembly 5 first during closing, so the contact arc is borne by the arc contact 303. During the opening process, the arc contact 303 is disconnected after the other two contact tips 301 are disconnected, so all the arcs generated during the opening of the switch are borne by the arc contact 303. Because an arc-resistant silver point is welded on the arc contact 303, although the closing or opening arc burns it, it will not have too much impact and does not affect the electrical performance of the entire switch, ensuring good dynamic stability of the switch. The contact tip 301 serves as a static connection to ensure the static stability of short-time withstand and temperature rise. Therefore, the three contact tips of the static contact assembly 3 perform their respective functions, making the switch have good dynamic stability and static stability.
[0032] Embodiment Three
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 and Figure 5 As shown, on the basis of the first and second embodiments, an arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2 is arranged on the outer side of the inside of the two housings 4. The arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2 is used to extinguish the arc generated during the opening and closing of the module. The arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2 includes an arc guide angle 201, and the arc guide angle 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc extinguishing grid 202. The arc guide angle 201 is used to guide the arc generated during the opening and closing and introduce the arc into the inside of the arc extinguishing grid 202. The arc extinguishing grid 202 is clamped inside the housing 4. The arc extinguishing grid 202 is used to extinguish the arc, and the two arc extinguishing grids 202 are symmetrical to each other. The two arc extinguishing grids 202 are sleeved on the outside of the static contact assembly 3 and the moving contact assembly 5. The arc guide angle 201 is arranged at one end close to the arc contact 303. A plurality of exhaust holes are evenly opened around the inner sides of the two housings 4, and the exhaust holes are used to guide the arc, making the arc generated during the opening and closing more likely to enter the inside of the arc extinguishing grid 202.
[0034] By setting the arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2, and the distance between the arc ignition angle 201 and the arc receiving contact 303 in the static contact assembly 3 is relatively close, an arc is generated between the arc receiving contact 303 and the moving contact assembly 5 during the opening and closing processes. During the continuous elongation of the arc, the arc root will transfer to the arc ignition angle 201. When the moving contact assembly 5 opens to the maximum position, due to the increase in the cavity pressure, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will drive the arc to move towards the exhaust hole direction, thus directly bringing the entire arc into the arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2. The arc is cut into several arcs by the arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2, increasing the arc voltage and making it difficult for the arc to continue burning, thereby achieving the effect of arc extinguishing.
[0035] Embodiment 4
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 As shown, by combining Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3, this embodiment is obtained. When the entire moving contact assembly 5 tilts upward by 120 degrees, the moving contact assembly 5 and the static contact assembly 3 are separated from each other. At this time, the DC contact module is in the open state, and the load side of the DC contact module will be cut off. On the contrary, when the moving contact assembly 5 contacts the static contact assembly 3, the module is in the closed state, and the load side will be conducted. By providing three contact contacts 301 on the wiring row 302 in the static contact assembly 3, and welding an arc receiving contact 303 at the top of one of the contact contacts 301, two of the contact contacts 301 ensure the static stability of the switch, that is, ensure that the switch has good temperature rise and short-time withstand. The top of the other contact contact 301 is provided with an arc receiving contact 303, making the switch have good dynamic stability, that is, ensuring that the switch has good electrical life and short-circuit making ability. By designing the arc extinguishing chamber assembly 2 and opening an exhaust hole on the outer wall of the housing 4, the arc can be guided to enter the arc extinguishing grid 202 more easily, and the arc can be quickly cut off, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing. It can not only achieve the original isolation characteristics but also provide double protection for the power system.
