Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0032] The contactor includes a contact system and an electromagnetic system. The contact system includes stationary contacts 4, moving contacts, and a contact support. The electromagnetic system includes a stationary iron core, a moving iron core, and a coil for driving the moving iron core. The moving iron core is connected to the contact support 3, and the stationary iron core and moving iron core are arranged opposite to each other. The coil is located between the stationary iron core and the moving iron core. Multiple moving contacts are arranged on the contact support 3, each moving contact corresponding to two stationary contacts 4. Each moving contact has moving contacts at both ends, which contact or separate from the two stationary contacts 4 arranged at both ends of the contactor. Each end of the contactor has two contact terminals connected to the two stationary contacts 4. The contactor also has a coil terminal electrically connected to the coil of the electromagnetic system. The two contact terminals serve as the input and output terminals for connecting the power supply and the load, respectively. The coil terminal is used to connect to the control power supply to power or de-power the coil, thereby driving the moving iron core to move the contact support 3. The contact support 3 then drives the moving contacts to contact or separate from the two stationary contacts 4. This is prior art in the art.

[0033] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a contactor, including a contact system and an electromagnetic system. The contact system includes at least two contact modules 2 and a support base 12. Each contact module 2 includes a first module housing and a moving contact, a stationary contact 4, and a contact support 3 disposed within the first module housing. The contact support 3 is movably disposed within the first module housing, and the moving contact is disposed on the contact support 3. The contact support 3 can move relative to the first module housing to drive the moving contact to contact the stationary contact 4. The contact support 3 is provided with a linkage part 31 extending out of the first module housing. At least two of the contact modules 2 are arranged side by side, and the support base 12 is fixedly connected to the linkage part 31 of at least two contact modules 2.

[0034] The technical advantage of this application lies in the modular design of the contact system, which includes at least two contact modules 2 and a support base 12. Each contact module 2 includes a first module housing and a moving contact, a stationary contact 4, and a contact support 3 disposed within the first module housing. The contact supports 3 of at least two contact modules 2 are fixedly installed with the support base 12. Movement of the support base 12 can drive the movement of multiple contact supports 3. The contact supports 3 are provided with moving contacts, and the first module housing is provided with stationary contacts 4. Movement of the contact supports 3 can drive the moving contacts to move and contact or disconnect with the stationary contacts 4. This application is easy to disassemble and replace, can be mass-produced, and can be installed in multi-pole circuits. At the same time, it allows for quick assembly and replacement of contact modules 2, improving product assembly and after-sales component replacement efficiency, enhancing maintenance efficiency, and reducing customer usage costs.

[0035] Preferably, in one possible implementation, the support base 12 is fixedly connected to the moving iron core (not shown in the figure). The movement of the moving iron core can drive the support base 12 to move. The support base 12 is fixedly connected to the linkage part 31 of at least two contact modules 2. Therefore, the movement of the moving iron core can drive the contact support 3 to move within the first module housing.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the contact system also includes a support platform 11, and a support base 12 is movably mounted on the support platform 11. The support platform 11 is fixedly connected to the first module housing of at least two contact modules 2. Furthermore, the support platform 11 has a first through hole 15, and the support base 12 is installed in the first through hole 15. The support base 12 can slide telescopically within the first through hole 15.

[0037] Furthermore, the support base 12 is provided with multiple slide rails, and the support platform 11 is provided with multiple sliding grooves that cooperate with the slide rails, so that the support base 12 can slide within the support platform 11. Since the contact module 2 adopts a modular design, it is easy to replace. However, repeated replacements can easily damage the support base 12. Therefore, the support platform 11 and the support base 12 adopt a separate installation structure, which makes it easy to replace one of them after the support base 12 or the support platform 11 is damaged, thus saving costs.

[0038] Preferably, in one embodiment of the contactor, the electromagnetic system includes a second module housing and the moving iron core. The second module housing contains a coil and a stationary iron core, with the stationary iron core at least partially installed within the coil. Two terminals of the coil extend out of the second module housing. The second module housing is fixedly connected to a support platform 11, aligning the coil and stationary iron core with the moving iron core on the support base 12. When the two terminals of the coil are powered, the stationary iron core generates a magnet, attracting the moving iron core and causing the support base 12 to move within the support platform 11. The support base 12 then moves at least two contact supports 3 in the first module housings together, causing the moving contact to contact or disconnect from the stationary contact 4. The second module housing is connected to the support platform 11, and the at least two first module housings, the second module housing, and the support platform 11 constitute the contactor housing.

[0039] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the contactor, the contactor also includes a separate contactor housing, and the electromagnetic system, support platform 11, support base 12, and at least two contact modules 2 are all disposed within the contactor housing. The coil and the stationary iron core correspond to the moving iron core on the support base 12. When the coil is energized, it generates an attractive force on the moving iron core, thereby driving the support base 12 and the contact supports 3 in the at least two first module housings to move together. As an alternative embodiment, the support platform 11 may not be provided, and the support base 12 may slide with the housing.

[0040] As another possible implementation, the moving iron core is not mounted on the support base 12; instead, the moving iron core drives the support base 12 to move via a push rod. The moving iron core is slidably positioned, and the push rod is connected to it. The push rod passes through the support platform 11 to push or pull the support base 12, thereby causing at least two contact supports 3 in the first module housing to move together via the support base 12. The moving iron core, the stationary iron core, and the coil are mounted together within the second module housing or a separate contactor housing.

[0041] Preferably, the support base 11 has at least two protrusions 13 relative to the contact module 2, and the at least two protrusions 13 are provided with first mounting portions. The support base 12 and the multiple contact modules 2 are fixedly installed by means of the first mounting portions and can be applied in 3-pole, 4-pole or multi-pole circuits.

[0042] The support platform 11 has at least two protrusions 13 relative to the contact module 2, and a first mounting part is provided on the protrusion 13, which can be fixedly installed on the assembly or wall.

[0043] Preferred, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the contact support 3 includes a linkage part 31 and a mounting platform 32. The mounting platform 32 is installed inside the first module housing and is connected to the linkage part 31. The moving contact is installed on the mounting platform 32, and the linkage part 31 is located outside the first module housing. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the contact support 3 of this utility model is shown.

[0044] Furthermore, the contact support 3 is internally equipped with a reset element. This reset element drives the contact support 3 to move the moving contact in a direction that separates from or contacts the stationary contact 4 (normally open or normally closed contact). Alternatively, the reset element can be understood as driving the contact support 3 to move closer to or further away from the electromagnetic system, causing the linkage 31 to fit tightly against the first module housing. When the power supply to the electromagnetic system coil is disconnected, the stationary iron core no longer attracts the moving iron core. Driven by the reset element, the contact support 3 resets the support base 12, causing the moving contact and stationary contact 4 to separate or contact, thus disconnecting or connecting the load to the power supply.

[0045] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, the contact support 3 may have a receiving cavity inside, with the opening of the receiving cavity facing away from the linkage part 31. The reset part is disposed in the receiving cavity, with one end of the reset part connected to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity and the other end connected to the first module housing. Preferably, the reset part is a tension spring or a compression spring. In this embodiment, the reset part is a tension spring. The tension force generated by the tension spring makes the contact support 3 have potential energy away from the electromagnetic system, and the linkage part 31 of the contact support 3 abuts against the first module housing. When the reset part is a compression spring, the thrust generated by the compression spring makes the contact support 3 have energy release close to the electromagnetic system.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second through hole 23 is provided on the first module housing. The cross-section of the mounting platform 32 is consistent with the shape of the second through hole 23, allowing the mounting platform 32 to pass through and move within the second through hole 23. Furthermore, the dimensions of the mounting platform 32 match the dimensions of the second through hole 23, allowing the mounting platform 32 to slide within the second through hole 23 while preventing dust from entering. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, the second through hole 23 and the mounting platform 32 are both square structures.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the linkage part 31 includes two first retaining walls, a first retaining groove 35 is formed between the two first retaining walls, the two first retaining walls protrude from the mounting platform 32, and one of the first retaining walls near the mounting platform 32 abuts against the first module housing.

[0048] Furthermore, the linkage part 31 includes first slots 35 disposed opposite to each other, and each first slot 35 forms the first card wall.

[0049] Furthermore, the first module housing includes a first module base 21 and a first module cover 22. The first module cover 22 covers the first module base 21. The contact support 3, the moving contact and the stationary contact 4 are disposed on the first module base 21. The first module base 21 and the first module cover 22 can be fixed by multiple screws, as shown in this embodiment, or they can be fixed by snap-fit ​​installation.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support base 12 faces the contact module 2. The support base 12 has a mounting groove 121 on one side opposite the linkage part 31. The mounting groove 121 extends along the thickness direction of the contact module 2 to both sides of the support base 12. The linkage part 31 can be partially installed in the mounting groove 121.

[0051] Furthermore, the linkage 31 is installed in the mounting groove 121 of the support base 12 from one side along the thickness direction of the contact module 2.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support base 12 is provided with a first buckle 122, which cooperates with the first slot 35 on the linkage part 31. The support base 12 and the linkage part 31 are fixed by the first buckle 122 and the first slot 35. Furthermore, the first buckle 122 is two barbs that extend from both sides of the mounting groove 121 toward the center of the mounting groove 121 on the side of the support base 12 facing the linkage part 31. The first slot 35 is two parallel first locking walls that extend to both sides toward the center of the linkage part 31. The first slot 35 is formed between the two first locking walls. The first buckle 122 is installed in the first slot 35 to realize buckle installation.

[0053] Preferably, the support base 12 can be made of aluminum alloy profile. Aluminum alloy profiles are sturdy and easy to process, requiring only cutting and drilling according to specified dimensions, thereby reducing mold opening costs and cycle time, and are also recyclable. The support base 12 can also be made of plastic to improve insulation performance; the contact support 3 can be made of insulating material to improve insulation protection performance.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the linkage part 31 is provided with a first elastic element 33 on the side facing the support base 12. The linkage part 31 is installed in the mounting groove 121 of the support base 12. The first elastic element 33 is located between the linkage part 31 and the support base 12. The elasticity of the first elastic element 33 presses and fixes the contact module 2 and the support base 12.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the support base 12 is provided with a guide protrusion 123, which extends along the thickness direction of the contact module 2. The side of the linkage part 31 facing the support base 12 is provided with a guide groove 34. The guide protrusion 123 is installed in the guide groove 34. The guide protrusion 123 and the guide groove 34 cooperate to guide the movement of the linkage part 31 in the support base 12, so that the linkage part 31 can move stably and avoid the linkage part 31 and the support base 12 from being offset or deflected and getting stuck. In this embodiment, two first elastic members 33 are arranged in parallel on the linkage part 31, and the guide groove 34 is arranged between the two first elastic members 33, and the guide groove 34 is parallel to the first elastic members 33.

[0056] Furthermore, the first elastic element 33 is a metal sheet, with its two ends bent towards each other to form a second barb. The middle part of the first elastic sheet protrudes towards the support base 12. The linkage part 31 is provided with a second slot that mates with the second barb. The first elastic element 33 is mounted on the linkage part 31 via the second barb. In other embodiments, the first elastic element 33 is a flat plate structure. The side of the linkage part 31 facing the support base 12 has two grooves facing each other along the thickness direction of the contact module 2. The two ends of the first elastic element 33 are bent towards each other and inserted into the two grooves.

[0057] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the guide protrusion 123 can be arc-shaped.

[0058] Preferably, in other possible embodiments, the linkage part 31 is provided on the support base 12 protruding towards the contact module 2, and the mounting groove 121 is recessed in the direction facing the support base 12. The linkage part 31 and the mounting groove 121 are installed together. All of these are within the protection scope of this application.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a contact module 2 includes two stationary contacts 4, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the contact support 3. The stationary contacts 4 are partially disposed inside the contact module 2 and partially protrude from the first module housing. The part protruding from the first module housing serves as a wiring terminal 41 for connecting external leads. The wiring terminal 41 is provided with a wiring hole. The stationary contacts 4 disposed inside the contact module 2 are provided with stationary contact points, which cooperate with the moving contact points on the moving contact.

[0060] The moving contact is mounted on a contact support, and a contact spring is provided between the moving contact and the contact support. The moving contact has moving points at both ends, which respectively mate with two stationary contacts 4. The mounting platform 32 of the contact support may have mounting holes through which the moving contact passes, and the contact spring is placed in the mounting holes to fix the moving contact. Alternatively, the moving contact can also be connected to the contact support using other fittings.

[0061] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, the contactor is a 3P contactor. Three contact modules 2 are installed side by side on the support base 12. The three contact modules 2 can be connected in a three-phase circuit, respectively connected in series in the L1 pole line, L2 pole line and L3 pole line, or they can be connected in series in three circuits to control three different circuits at the same time.

[0062] Furthermore, the support platform 11 has two protrusions 13 spaced apart on both sides along the height direction of the contact module 2. The protrusions 13 are provided with a first mounting part, which includes a first mounting hole and a mounting screw. There is a gap between the terminals 41 of adjacent contact modules 2.

Alternatively, the four contact modules 2 can be connected in a three-phase four-wire circuit, with three being phase pole units and one being a neutral pole unit.

[0064] Furthermore, the support platform 11 has three protrusions 13 spaced apart on both sides along the height direction of the contact module 2. Each protrusion 13 has a first mounting part. There is a gap between the terminals 41 of adjacent contact modules 2. The gap between the first mounting part and the adjacent terminal 41 corresponds to the gap.
