DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model in combination with the drawings, and the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.
[0017] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this inside-outside contact type plum blossom contactor includes a contact piece 100, an annular bracket 200, and a spring. The contact pieces 100 are evenly fixed on the annular bracket 200 to form an annular array. The spring includes a compression spring 310, a movable tension spring 320, and a fixed tension spring 330. Among them, the compression spring 310 is installed inside the contact piece 100, and the movable tension spring 320 and the fixed tension spring 330 are sleeved outside the contact piece 100.
[0018] As Figure 3 shown, on the outer side of the contact piece 100 from top to bottom, there are formed an outer contact 110, a first outer spring groove 121, a second outer spring groove 122, and a fixed spring groove 141 in sequence. On the inner side from top to bottom, there are formed an inner spring groove 111, an inner contact 120, and a grid piece 140 in sequence. Both the outer contact 110 and the inner contact 120 are arc-shaped convex structures. The setting of the grid piece 140 enables that when an arc is generated between the contactors, the arc is drawn into the grid piece 140 under the action of the contraction force of the magnetic lines of force, and a long arc is divided into multiple short arcs. When the alternating current passes through zero, all the short arcs are extinguished simultaneously, ensuring the safety of the plum blossom contactor during use.
[0019] The compression spring 310 is installed in the inner spring groove 111 and is correspondingly matched with the outer contact 110. The compression spring 310 generates an outward pressure based on the elastic force of its own compression and reset, providing an outer contact pressure for the outer contact 110. The fixed tension spring 330 is installed in the fixed spring groove 141 and is correspondingly matched with the grid piece 140. The fixed tension spring 330 generates an inward pressure based on the elastic force of its own contraction and reset, and tightly fixes the grid piece 140.
[0020] The first outer spring groove 121 is correspondingly matched with the inner contact 120, and the second outer spring groove 122 is correspondingly matched with the grid piece 140. The movable tension spring 320 is installed in the first outer spring groove 121 and the second outer spring groove 122 in a matching manner. When the movable tension spring 320 is installed in the first outer spring groove 121, the movable tension spring 320 generates an inward pressure based on the elastic force of its own contraction and reset, providing an inner contact pressure for the inner contact 120. And the inner contact pressure provided by the movable tension spring 320 to the inner contact 120 should be greater than the outer contact pressure provided by the compression spring 310 to the outer contact 110, so that the inner contact is good when the plum blossom contactor adopts the inner contact method. When the movable tension spring 320 is installed in the second outer spring groove 122, the inward pressure generated by the movable tension spring 320 and the fixed tension spring 330 together tightly fix the grid piece 140. At this time, the outer contact 110 opens outward under the action of the compression spring 310 to achieve good outer contact.
[0021] As Figure 2As shown, a plurality of contact piece grooves 210 opening outwards in the circumferential direction are equidistantly arranged on the annular bracket 200. On the inner side of the contact piece 100 between the inner contact point 120 and the grid piece 140, a bracket groove 130 is provided. The bracket groove 130 is located between the first outer spring groove 121 and the second outer spring groove 122. During installation, the bracket groove 130 of the contact piece 100 passes through the contact piece groove 210 of the annular bracket 200 and is inserted at the continuous part on the inner side of the annular bracket 200, so that the contact piece 100 is detachably fixed on the annular bracket 200.
[0022] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: when the movable tension spring 320 is located in the first outer spring groove 121, the plum blossom contact is in the inner contact state. Since the inner contact pressure provided by the movable tension spring 320 to the inner contact point 120 is greater than the outer contact pressure provided by the pressure spring 310 to the outer contact point 110, the inner contact point 120 contracts inwards, so that it has good contact with the contact installed on the inner side.
[0023] When the movable tension spring 320 is located in the second outer spring groove 122, the plum blossom contact is in the outer contact state. At this time, the movable tension spring 320 and the fixed tension spring 330 jointly provide an inward pressure to the grid piece 140, so that the outer contact point 110 at the other end has a tendency to open outwards. Coupled with the outer contact pressure provided by the pressure spring 310 to the outer contact point 110, the outer contact point 110 can have good contact with the contact sleeved on the outer side.
[0024] The switching between the inner and outer contact states only needs to move and replace the movable tension spring 320 between the first outer spring groove 121 and the second outer spring groove 122, which is convenient and fast and has strong practicability.
[0025] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present utility model. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0026] Although various terms are used more in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present utility model.
