The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0027] [Example 1]

[0028] Contact systems such as Figure 2-Figure 4 , which can be applicable to a contactor or a relay, includes a moving contact assembly 012 and a static contact assembly 013.

[0029] The moving contact assembly includes a single-pole moving contact assembly 022 and a contact base 021, wherein the number of single-pole moving contact assemblies 022 is the number of poles of the single-pole or multi-pole contactor. In this embodiment, at least two groups of single-pole moving contact assemblies 022 are provided to form a multi-stage moving contact assembly.

[0030] like Figure 2 The single-pole moving contact assembly 022 includes a moving contact 041, a moving contact point 042 and a moving arc-striking piece 043. The moving contact 041 adopts a rectangular long strip structure. The two moving contacts 042 are respectively installed at the two ends of the moving contact 041 to form a bridge-type double-breakpoint structure, which doubles the contact opening distance.

[0031] The connection position between the moving contact 041 and the moving contact point 042 is tilted, and the tilt direction is toward the arc extinguishing chamber on both sides, with the end thereof being the lowest point. The tilted moving contact 041 is used to guide the arc.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inclination angles of both ends of the moving contact 041 are ≤30°.

[0033] The two ends of the moving contact 041 are respectively connected to a moving arc-striking piece 043 . The moving arc-striking piece 043 is located outside the moving contact 042 and is bent toward the arc extinguishing chamber 003 .

The static contact 044 has an inclined surface, and the inclination direction is the same as that of the moving contact 041, and is also inclined toward the arc-striking chamber.

[0037] The left static contact 044 is inclined at a certain angle 0400 toward the left arc extinguishing chamber, and the right static contact is inclined at an angle 0401 toward the right arc extinguishing chamber; the static contact and one end of the moving contact are arranged in pairs; when the contacts are closed and opened, especially when opened, the arc is directed toward the inside of the arc extinguishing chamber, which is conducive to arc extinguishing.

[0038] The above-mentioned angles 0400 and 0401 are preferably the same as the inclination angles at both ends of the moving contact 041.

[0039] like Figure 6 The base 011 is provided with a protrusion 0113, and the contact seat 021 is provided with a guide groove 0215. The protrusion 0113 matches the guide groove 0215 to ensure the running track of the contact seat.
