Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of circuit equipment, in particular to a soft starter which is easy to assemble. Background Art
[0002] A soft starter (also known as a soft starter) is a novel motor control device that integrates soft starting, soft stopping, light-load energy saving, and various protection functions. It is primarily composed of a three-phase phase-parallel thyristor connected in series between the power supply and the controlled motor, along with its electronic control circuit. The soft starter controls the conduction angle of its internal thyristor (SCR) to gradually increase the motor input voltage from zero according to a preset function until the start is complete and full voltage is applied to the motor. This is known as soft starting. During the soft starting process, the motor's starting torque and speed gradually increase. Existing soft starters include a housing with input and output pins. Within the housing are a heat sink assembly, a circuit board, and a current sensing transformer, SCR, and transformer electrically connected to the circuit board. The input and output pins are both connected to the SCR.
[0003] For example, the applicant applied for a built-in bypass soft starter on December 27, 2019. The existing input pins and output pins are connected to the heat dissipation component through conductive sheets. Since one end of the existing conductive sheet needs to be punched and connected to the heat dissipation component with bolts, and the other end is connected to the input pin and output pin, the conductive sheet needs to be bent multiple times. During the production and use process, the following problems were found: First, the conductive sheet is easy to break due to bending, affecting its service life; second, there are processing problems with the bending angle, which is easy to produce errors and deviate from the first connection hole of the shell. Manual adjustment and reprocessing are required, and the processing efficiency is low; third, the conductive sheets connecting the input pins and output pins have different shapes and cannot be used interchangeably, further increasing production costs; fourth, bending reduces the conductive current and has high power consumption.
