Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of contactors, in particular to a high-voltage DC contactor with double exhaust pipes. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the exhaust pipe of the high-voltage DC contactor is single. The method for removing foreign matters is to place the product in a large sealed box and then evacuate the sealed box.

[0003] The prior art with the publication number of CN207038439U discloses a DC contactor with an air pipe sealing protection, which includes a support with an open cavity, a fixed iron cup inside the cavity of the support. The iron cup is cup-shaped with an opening at the upper end. A moving contact, an iron core, and a moving shaft 16 are placed inside the cavity of the iron cup. The iron core at the lower end of the moving shaft 16 and the moving contact at the upper end of the moving shaft 16 are connected through the moving shaft 16. The inner support frame has a cavity with an opening at the lower end. Two lead columns pass through the upper through holes of the support frame so that the static contact at the lower end of the wiring column is located inside the iron cup. The upper end of the support, the port of the iron cup, and the upper end of the inner support frame are sealed with epoxy resin as a sealing material to form a sealing layer. The sealing layer and the iron cup form a sealed cavity. There is a fixing plate at the upper end of the sealing layer. There is a cylindrical protection structure at the upper end of the fixing plate. The protection structure and the fixing plate are integrally injection-molded. A copper air pipe is arranged inside the protection structure. The air pipe penetrates through the fixing plate, the sealing layer, and the inner support frame and is connected to the sealed cavity. The upper end port of the air pipe is covered with a sealing cover. The lower end of the sealing cover is bonded to the fixing plate. The sealed cavity is filled with inert gas.

[0004] In the prior art, only one air pipe is provided on the contactor. When there are foreign matters inside the product, the foreign matters inside the product are sucked out together with the air through the exhaust pipe. There is a drawback in this method of removing foreign matters, that is, the foreign matters will be attached to the surface of the components and cannot be discharged. Therefore, it will affect the reliability of the product when powered on. Content of the Utility Model

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a high-voltage DC contactor with double exhaust pipes includes a housing and a contact system. A sealed cavity is arranged inside the housing. The contact system includes a terminal 5 and a moving contact plate 6. The terminal 5 is fixedly connected to the housing. One end of the terminal 5 extends into the sealed cavity 12. The moving contact plate 6 is movably installed in the sealed cavity 12. The terminal 5 and the moving contact plate 6 are arranged oppositely. The moving contact plate 6 can approach or move away from the terminal 5 under the action of an external force.

[0027] An air inlet pipe 7 and an air outlet pipe 8 are arranged on the housing. Both the air inlet pipe 7 and the air outlet pipe 8 extend into the sealed cavity 12 inside the housing. Other substances can enter the sealed cavity 12 through the air inlet pipe 7, and the gas inside the sealed cavity 12 can be discharged through the air outlet pipe 8.

[0028] With such an arrangement, during the inflation process of the contactor, a high-speed moving air flow group can be formed inside the contactor through the structure of the double pipes. Thereby, the impurities inside the contactor can be discharged through the air outlet pipe along with the air flow, and at the same time, the air is prevented from being re-introduced into the contactor, making the purity of the internal inert gas higher and the characteristics of the product more stable and reliable. When using double pipes, the inflation efficiency of filling inert gas into the contactor can be improved. It takes about 3 - 4 minutes for a single air outlet pipe, while it takes about 1 minute for a double exhaust pipe, and the efficiency is increased by 3 - 4 times.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the air inlet pipe 7 and the air outlet pipe 8 are copper pipes.

[0030] In this embodiment, both the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 8 can be clamped and sealed by a pipe wrench.

[0031] In this embodiment, the housing includes an iron cup 2, a sealing layer 4 is provided at the opening of the iron cup 2, and the iron cup 2 and the sealing layer 4 cooperate to form a sealed cavity 12.

[0032] Further preferably, the material of the sealing layer 4 is epoxy resin.

[0034] In this embodiment, an upper bracket 3 and a lower bracket 14 are provided within the sealed cavity 12, the iron core 13 is mounted on the lower bracket 14 through a bearing 9, the moving shaft 16 passes through the iron core 13 and the moving contact plate 6, and the moving shaft 16 is in sliding fit with the iron core 13 and the moving contact plate 6. Further preferably, the bearing 9 is an oil-free bearing 9.

[0035] In this embodiment, retaining rings are provided at both ends of the moving shaft 16, the moving contact plate 6 and the iron core 13 are arranged between the two retaining rings, a first spring 4 is provided between the upper bracket 3 and the moving shaft 16 plate, and a second spring 15 is provided between the first bracket 3 and the iron core 13.

[0036] In this embodiment, a coil is wound around the lower bracket 14, and the iron core 13 is located within the coil.

[0037] In this embodiment, two terminal posts 5 are separately arranged at both ends of the moving contact plate 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the terminal post 5 includes a connecting portion and a stationary contact, the stationary contact is arranged inside the sealed cavity 12, and the connecting portion is located outside the housing.

[0039] When filling the contactor with an inert gas, high-pressure inert gas is injected into the intake pipe 7, the inert gas enters the sealed cavity 12 of the contactor, the inert gas quickly discharges the air inside the contactor from the exhaust pipe 8, and at the same time, the exhaust pipe 8 is connected to an inert gas purity detector. When the detector detects that the purity of the discharged gas reaches the set value, the exhaust pipe 8 is clamped and sealed using a pipe wrench, and then inert gas is continuously injected into the contactor through the exhaust pipe 8. When the air pressure inside the contactor reaches the set value, the intake pipe 7 is then clamped and sealed, thereby realizing the steps of inflating and sealing the contactor.

[0040] Relevant experimental verifications were carried out on the above-mentioned double-exhaust contactor and single-exhaust pipe contactor, and the test data were summarized as follows: Number of tests: 5000 double-exhaust structure high-voltage DC contactors; 5000 single-exhaust structure high-voltage DC contactors.

[0041] Test requirements: Select the BSBC7-100 series products of Baishibao Company. For the previous part of the products, assemble them normally according to the production process requirements of our company. During the process of removing internal foreign matters, perform the following operations: For the high-voltage DC contactor with a double-exhaust structure, connect pure air with a pressure of 0.6 Mpa to one exhaust pipe, blow for 15 s, and immediately enter the next process after blowing, fill with inert gas, and clamp the exhaust pipe to completely isolate the inside of the product from the outside; For the high-voltage DC contactor with a single-exhaust structure, for the product with a single exhaust pipe, still follow the original process, place it in a sealed box, evacuate the airtightness, and maintain it for 15 s in a vacuum environment, then immediately enter the next process, fill with inert gas, and clamp the exhaust pipe to completely isolate the inside of the product from the outside.

[0042] Verification method: By performing make-break tests on the products, each product is tested for 300 make-break cycles, and the products with non-conductive closing are removed. The products with non-conductive closing are caused by foreign matters on the contacts, which means that the removal of foreign matters is not complete.

[0043] Through experimental verification, the qualification rates of the products with the above two structures in the make-break conduction test are shown in the following table.

[0044] Exhaust pipe type Number of unqualified split and conduction tests Total production quantity Qualified rate Dual exhaust pipe 0 5000 100% Single exhaust pipe 3 5000 99.94%
