Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of DC contactors, in particular to a waterproof DC contactor. Background Art

[0002] A DC contactor is a switching device used to control a DC circuit. When current passes through the coil of the contactor, a magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field attracts the iron core, causing the contacts on the iron core to contact the fixed contacts, thereby completing the circuit closure.

[0003] The coil connection points and contact heads of the DC contactor are both set at the top and connected and fastened by nuts and lines. The coil connection points and contact heads of the DC contactor are directly exposed to the outside. When used in an environment with high humidity for a long time, the coil connection points and contact heads of the DC contactor are prone to rust, resulting in short-circuit and unstable line connections of the coil connection points and contact heads of the DC contactor, and a high failure rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The disclosed embodiments relate to a waterproof DC contactor, in which a main DC contact, an outer waterproof cover, and a sealing gasket cooperate to perform sealing, and the main contact joint and the coil end are isolated from the outside. The main contact joint and the coil end are connected to the external circuit through a first connecting line and a second connecting line. External water vapor and liquid are blocked by the outer waterproof cover and cannot contact the main contact joint and the coil end, thereby preventing the main contact joint and the coil end from rusting and short-circuiting due to contact with water vapor and liquid, achieving compatibility with high-humidity environments and water environments, and reducing the occurrence rate of faults such as line short circuits.

[0008] In at least some embodiments, the fixing bolts and the circular holes of the annular array of the lower flange penetrate each other, and the top of the lower flange fits against the bottom of the sealing gasket.

[0009] In at least some embodiments, the annular array of sealing gaskets has bolt through holes extending vertically in the axial direction, and both sides of the sealing gaskets are provided with line through grooves extending horizontally in the circumferential direction.

[0010] In at least some embodiments, the top of the sealing gasket fits the bottom surface of the upper flange, the fixing bolts and the bolt through holes are connected through, and the fixing bolts are tightened to tightly fit the upper flange, the sealing gasket and the main DC contactor together.

[0011] In at least some embodiments, the first connecting line and the second connecting line are respectively passed through the inner side of the line through-groove, and the outer waterproof cover and the middle transparent window jointly cover the outer side of the middle partition plate, the main contact joint, and the coil end. The main contact joint and the coil end are isolated from the outside by the outer waterproof cover, and the main contact joint and the coil end are connected to the external line through the first connecting line and the second connecting line.
