Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformer on-load tap changers, in particular to a switching contact for a tap selector. Background Art

[0002] The switching contacts used in a tap selector are devices used to adjust the connection method of the transformer windings to achieve fine voltage regulation. They are primarily used in power transformers to adjust the transformer's output voltage to meet the needs of the power grid or end users. These contacts, used in conjunction with the tap selector, can precisely adjust the effective number of turns in the transformer windings, thereby finely regulating the output voltage. The design of these switching contacts must take into account both mechanical and electrical characteristics to ensure long-term reliable and stable operation.

[0003] However, existing tap selectors usually use a simple sliding contact method to connect the moving contact and the static contact. When the device is subjected to harsh environments such as vibration or impact, this simple sliding contact method often cannot effectively maintain a stable connection between the contacts. Due to the lack of sufficient mechanical stability and shock resistance, disconnection is prone to occur between the contacts. This disconnection will prevent the current from passing smoothly, thereby affecting the normal operation and use of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, a switching contact for a tap selector is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a switching contact for a tap selector to solve the problems raised by the above background technology.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] like Figure 1-7As shown, the present application provides a switching contact for a tap selector, including an upper flange 1, a lower flange 101, which is arranged below the upper flange 1, an insulating plate 102, which is provided in plurality and fixedly mounted at both ends on the outer wall of the upper flange 1 and the outer wall of the lower flange 101, an insulating cylinder 103, which is arranged inside the upper flange 1, and an adjustment mechanism 2, which is arranged outside the insulating cylinder 103 and is used to adjust the contact of the contact; the adjustment mechanism 2 includes a plurality of contact rings 201 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the insulating cylinder 103, and a fixing mechanism 3, which is arranged outside the adjustment mechanism 2, and the fixing mechanism 3 includes a plurality of static contacts 301 that movably penetrate the sides of the plurality of insulating plates 102.

[0036] In this embodiment: through the setting of the adjustment mechanism 2, it can be ensured that the two bridge contacts 205 are in squeeze contact with the static contact 301, and disconnection is not likely to occur between the contacts, ensuring that the current can pass smoothly, thereby ensuring the normal operation and use of the equipment, and the setting of the fixing mechanism 3 can ensure that the cable connection is more stable and not easy to loosen.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, two connecting plates 202 are provided on one side of the contact ring 201. Arc grooves 203 are respectively opened at one end of the two connecting plates 202 near the side. The two connecting plates 202 are fixedly connected by screws, and the inner walls of the two arc grooves 203 are squeezed and connected to the outer wall of the contact ring 201.

[0038] In this embodiment, the contact ring 201 can be squeezed and fixed by the arc-shaped groove 203 , ensuring that the two connecting plates 202 can be installed on the contact ring 201 .

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the two connecting plates 202 are provided with movable grooves 204 near the side, and the inner walls of the two movable grooves 204 are slidingly connected with bridge contacts 205, which are shaped like a "mountain". The two bridge contacts 205 are slidingly connected to the outer wall of the static contact 301 near the side.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bridge contacts 205 are shaped like a mountain, so that the two bridge contacts 205 can make four-point contact with the outer wall of the static contact 301, and the two bridge contacts 205 can be more firmly connected to the outer wall of the static contact 301 and are not easily disconnected.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, arc grooves 203 are respectively opened at one end of the two bridge contacts 205 near the side, and the inner walls of the two arc grooves 203 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the contact ring 201. A plurality of fixing columns 206 are respectively fixedly connected to the two bridge contacts 205 away from the side.

[0042] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped groove 203 is provided to ensure that the bridge contact 205 transmits current to the contact ring 201 .

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the inner walls of the two movable grooves 204 are respectively provided with multiple groove bodies 207, and the other ends of the multiple fixed columns 206 slide through the inner walls of the two movable grooves 204 and extend into the interior of the multiple groove bodies 207. The inner walls of the multiple groove bodies 207 are respectively slidably connected with movable plates 208, and the top surfaces of the multiple movable plates 208 are respectively fixedly installed with springs 209, and the other ends of the multiple springs 209 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the groove body 207.

[0044] In this embodiment, the spring 209 applies elastic force to the movable plate 208 , the movable plate 208 applies elastic force to the fixed column 206 , and the fixed column 206 applies elastic force to the bridge contact 205 , so that the bridge contact 205 and the static contact 301 are in more stable contact.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, a plurality of static contacts 301 are fixedly connected to the side surface of the insulating plate 102 through a fixed shell 1 302 and a fixed shell 2 303 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the static contact 301 can be fixed by the fixing shell 1 302 and the fixing shell 2 303 .

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, a fixing plate 1 304 and a fixing plate 2 305 are fixedly mounted on one end surface of the static contact 301 , and through holes are respectively formed on the top surfaces of the fixing plate 1 304 and the fixing plate 2 305 , and bolts 306 are threadedly connected to the inner walls of the through holes.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting effect of the fixing plate 1 304 and the fixing plate 2 305 and the fixing of the bolt 306 can ensure that the cable connection is more stable and not easy to loosen.

[0049] The specific solution is as follows: the spring 209 applies elastic force to the movable plate 208, the movable plate 208 applies elastic force to the fixed column 206, and the fixed column 206 applies elastic force to the bridge contact 205, so that the two bridge contacts 205 can be closely in contact with the static contact 301. When the device vibrates, the setting of the spring 209 can still ensure that the two bridge contacts 205 are in squeeze contact with the static contact 301, and the disconnection between the contacts is not easy to occur, ensuring that the current can pass smoothly, thereby ensuring the normal operation and use of the device. The static contact 301, the fixed shell 1 302 and the fixed shell 2 303 are provided. The fixed shell 1 302 and the fixed shell 2 303 can fix the static contact 301. Through the arrangement of the fixed plate 1 304, the fixed plate 2 305 and the bolt 306, when connecting to the external cable, the end of the cable can be installed between the fixed plate 1 304 and the fixed plate 2 305. Through the limiting effect of the fixed plate 1 304 and the fixed plate 2 305 and the fixation of the bolt 306, the cable connection can be ensured to be more stable and not easy to loosen.
