Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage electrical technology, and in particular to a contactor. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, contactors are commonly used electrical control components, widely applied in motor control, power distribution, and automation control. Traditional contactors typically consist of a housing, yoke, coil, and contact system. The magnetic field generated by energizing the coil drives the contact system to connect and disconnect the circuit. However, with the rapid development of power electronics technology and the increasing demands of automation control, traditional contactors face numerous challenges in terms of performance, reliability, service life, and intelligence. The contact system of traditional contactors often suffers from wear and arc erosion, leading to increased contact resistance and decreased contact reliability. Furthermore, the coil and yoke designs of traditional contactors often exhibit high energy consumption and heat generation, limiting their application in energy-efficient fields. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a contactor with a compact structure, fast response speed and long service life.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a contactor comprising a housing, within which a magnetic yoke plate and a magnetic yoke inserted into the yoke plate are disposed. A coil frame is installed between the magnetic yoke plate and the magnetic yoke, and a coil is wound on the coil frame. A placement groove is provided inside the coil frame, and a push rod assembly is installed in the placement groove. A circuit board is provided at one end of the coil frame, and a column is provided at one end of the coil frame corresponding to the circuit board. The column is connected to the circuit board through a column groove on the magnetic yoke. A contact support is provided at the other end of the coil frame. A push rod groove is provided on the magnetic yoke plate corresponding to the placement groove in the coil frame. The push rod assembly extends into the contact support through the push rod groove. Moving contact bridge assemblies are provided on both sides of the contact support, and copper pillars are provided at opposite ends of the moving contact bridge assemblies.
[0005] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: the placement slot inside the coil frame for installing the push rod assembly makes the entire contactor structure more compact and reduces space occupation; the push rod assembly extends into the contact support through the push rod slot, realizing the effective transmission of electromagnetic force and mechanical action, improving the contactor's response speed and action accuracy; the moving contact bridge assembly inside the contact support realizes the closing and opening of the contacts through the push rod assembly, which can reduce wear and arc erosion of the contact system, and improve the contactor's service life and reliability.
[0006] This utility model is further configured as follows: the push rod assembly includes a moving iron core installed in a placement slot, a magnetic shielding sleeve fitted on the outer wall of the moving iron core, a guide post fitted on the outer wall of the magnetic shielding sleeve, and a push rod passing through a through hole inside the moving iron core. The top of the push rod has a vertex, and the magnetic yoke has a push rod opening for connecting the vertex of the push rod to the circuit board. An auxiliary moving contact bridge is provided between the circuit board and the vertex of the push rod. One end of the auxiliary moving contact bridge is connected to the circuit board, and the other end is wrapped around the vertex of the push rod and has an auxiliary moving contact. The circuit board has an auxiliary stationary contact corresponding to the auxiliary moving contact. The push rod extends through the push rod slot into the contact support and is laterally inserted with a top rod. The top rod is located at the upper end of the moving contact bridge assembly. A spring is wound around the top rod, one end of the spring abutting against the top rod and the other end abutting against the magnetic yoke. By using the moving iron core, magnetic shielding sleeve, and guide post in combination, electromagnetic force can be transmitted to the push rod more efficiently, and then to the contact system, which improves the contactor's response speed and action accuracy. The auxiliary moving contact bridge and auxiliary stationary contact add extra contact functions to the contactor, which can be used to realize more control logic and circuit protection.
[0007] This utility model further comprises a moving contact bridge assembly including a moving contact bridge disposed at the inner bottom of a contact support. The moving contact bridge has a boss, and the inner top of the contact support has an abutment corresponding to the boss. A compression spring is provided between the abutment and the boss. Both ends of the moving contact bridge extend outwards, and a moving contact is provided downwards at the end furthest from the coil frame. A stationary contact is provided at the end of the copper pillar corresponding to the moving contact bridge where the moving contact is located. This moving contact bridge assembly improves the accuracy of connecting and disconnecting the circuit between the moving and stationary contacts, helping to reduce circuit failures caused by poor contact or malfunctions. The compression spring design between the abutment and the boss provides necessary elasticity and cushioning for the movement of the moving contact bridge, helping to reduce wear and noise during movement and improving the service life of the contactor.
[0008] This utility model is further configured with a lead plate inserted into one side of the coil frame. The lead plate has a first pin and a second pin respectively. The first pin is connected to the circuit board via a connector, and the second pin extends downwards and connects to the coil's lead wire. The circuit board also has pins. Through the combined use of the lead plate and the connector, a stable connection between the electromagnetic coil and the circuit board is achieved. The connector makes the connection between the first pin and the circuit board easy to plug in and remove and replace. The second pin extends downwards and is tightly connected to the coil's lead wire, providing a stable and continuous current supply to the coil.
[0009] This utility model is further configured with a housing comprising a base, a middle seat mounted on the base, and a top cover snapped onto the middle seat. The magnetic yoke plate is disposed within the middle seat, and its lower end is connected to the base via mounting screws. The copper pillar is installed within the base and extends outward through a copper pillar groove on the base. The outer wall of the base is also provided with a hook. The middle seat has a locking block, and the top cover is snapped onto the middle seat via the locking block. Both the top cover and the outer wall of the middle seat are provided with pin slots, which match pins on the circuit board, and the pins extend outward through these slots. The combined design of the base, middle seat, and top cover achieves a stable connection and sealing of the housing, improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure. The copper pillar extending outward through the copper pillar groove on the base, and the pins extending outward through the pin slots on the top cover and middle seat, facilitate convenient connection to external circuits. The effective placement and support of the magnetic yoke plate ensures that the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil can be stably and efficiently transmitted to the contact system, improving the electromagnetic performance and operational accuracy of the contactor.
