AI Technical Summary
During a short-circuit test of a circuit breaker, if the moving and stationary contacts burn out, a short circuit will occur when the secondary current passes through, resulting in an excessive arc voltage that burns out the circuit breaker and the power transmission and distribution system. Furthermore, the moving and stationary contacts will stick together and the circuit cannot be separated.
A short-arc prevention contact structure is designed, with a clearance groove on the moving contact to increase the minimum contact distance, and the stability and reliability of the moving contact are ensured by a combination of support, shaft and spring.
This increases the number of times the circuit breaker can break, extends its service life, and avoids problems such as arc burn-out and sticking caused by short circuits.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker contact technology, and in particular to a short-arc protection contact structure and its circuit breaker. Background Technology
[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, during the short-circuit test of the circuit breaker, after the moving and stationary contacts are burned out, when the secondary current passes through, in addition to the normal contact of the contacts, a secondary short circuit occurs between the moving and stationary contacts at the front end of the stationary contact. Because it is an abnormal contact, a large arc voltage is generated at the moment of the short circuit, which directly burns out the circuit breaker and the power transmission and distribution system. Moreover, when the arc is extinguished, the moving and stationary contacts stick together, causing the circuit breaker to be unable to separate the circuit. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a contact structure that prevents short arcing, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A short-arc prevention contact structure is characterized in that it includes a moving contact and a stationary contact, wherein the moving contact and the stationary contact are provided with contact points that contact each other, and a relief groove is formed on the side of the moving contact facing the contact point to increase the shortest contact distance between the moving contact and the stationary contact.
[0006] The present invention further comprises that the movable contact is hinged to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft has a mounting groove, a support member is provided in the mounting groove, the support member is connected to one end of the movable contact through a first shaft member, the portion of the movable contact located in the mounting groove has an extension portion, a hinge hole is formed on the extension portion, a second shaft member is provided in the hinge hole, a pressure plate is also sleeved on the second shaft, and a spring is provided between the pressure plate and the inner wall of the rotating shaft.
[0007] The present invention further provides that the number of moving contacts is consistent with the number of mounting slots.
[0008] The present invention is further provided that the number of springs provided in the mounting groove is 2, which are distributed on both sides of the moving contact.
[0009] This utility model also provides a circuit breaker, characterized in that it has the aforementioned anti-short-arc contact structure.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By modifying the structure of the moving contact and setting a recessed clearance groove, the shortest contact distance between the moving contact and the stationary contact is increased, thereby increasing the number of circuit breakers and extending the service life of the circuit breaker.

[0016] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0017] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an anti-short arc contact structure, including a moving contact 10 and a stationary contact 20. The moving contact 10 and the stationary contact 20 are provided with contact points 30 that contact each other. A relief groove 40 is formed on the side of the moving contact 10 facing the contact point 30 to increase the shortest contact distance between the moving contact 10 and the stationary contact 20.
[0018] In this utility model, the movable contact 10 is hinged to the rotating shaft 110, and a mounting groove 50 is formed in the rotating shaft 110. The number of movable contacts 10 is consistent with the number of mounting grooves 50.
[0019] A support member 60 is provided in the mounting groove 50. The support member 60 is connected to one end of the moving contact 10 through a first shaft member 70. The portion of the moving contact 10 located in the mounting groove 50 forms an extension. A hinge hole is formed on the extension. A second shaft member 80 is provided in the hinge hole. A pressure plate 90 is also sleeved on the second shaft. A spring 100 is provided between the pressure plate 90 and the inner wall of the rotating shaft 110. The number of springs 100 provided in the mounting groove 50 is 2, distributed on both sides of the moving contact 10.
[0020] This utility model also provides a circuit breaker having the aforementioned anti-short-arc contact structure.
[0021] In this invention, by modifying the structure of the moving contact 10 and setting a recessed clearance groove 40, the shortest contact distance between the moving contact 10 and the stationary contact 20 is increased, thereby increasing the number of circuit breakers and extending the service life of the circuit breaker.
