[0020] The utility model provides a technical scheme of:

[0021] Reference Figures 1-3 A kind of pluggable contact group for railway switch machine, including contact seat 1 and contact group 2, the two ends of contact seat 1 are respectively provided with six terminal posts 4, each terminal post 4 is connected with plug-in piece 5, contact group 2 is detachably installed above contact seat 1, contact group 2 is provided with plug-in head 6 corresponding to the position of plug-in piece 5, plug-in head 6 and plug-in piece 5 form electrical connection in plug-in mode, contact group 2 and contact seat 1 are fastened by fixing bolt 3;

[0022] Specifically, the fixing of contact group 2 and contact seat 1 can adopt clamping structure, and the electrical connection mode of plug-in piece 5 and plug-in head 6 can also adopt connector to realize, and through the cooperative design of pluggable structure and fixing bolt 3, the quick replacement and reliable fixing of contact group 2 are realized, the cumbersome operation of disassembling wiring in traditional scheme is avoided, the maintenance time is significantly shortened, and plug-in piece 5 can also realize electrical connection through cable;It needs to be noted that contact seat 1 is installed on automatic switch by fastener.

[0023] Contact seat 1 independently bears wiring function, and contact group 2 only realizes contact on-off function;

[0024] Specifically, the function separation design makes contact group 2 replacement not involve wiring adjustment, fundamentally eliminates wiring error risk, and simplifies maintenance process.

[0025] The plug-in direction of plug-in head 6 and plug-in piece 5 is perpendicular to the mounting plane of contact seat 1, and is compressed and fixed by fixing bolt 3 after plugging-in;

[0026] Specifically, the perpendicular plug-in direction facilitates manual operation alignment, and in combination with axial compression and fixation, ensures that electrical contact surface is tightly attached, and effectively resists poor contact caused by vibration.

[0027] The main body material of the contact seat 1 and the contact group 2 is high-insulation engineering plastic, and the bottom of the contact group 2 is provided with a sealing structure.

[0028] Specifically, the high-insulation engineering plastic has strong weather resistance and can resist outdoor high temperature, high humidity and salt spray corrosion for a long time; the bottom sealing structure prevents external pollutants from entering the plug-in interface, thereby prolonging the service life of the contact group 2.

[0029] The locking direction of the fixing bolt 3 is perpendicular to the plug-in direction.

[0030] Specifically, the bolt locking direction is perpendicular to the plug-in direction, which avoids bolt loosening and further improves the stability of mechanical connection.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0032] The core of the design of the device is based on the function separation structure of the contact seat 1 and the contact group 2. The contact seat 1 is made of high-insulation engineering plastic, and the wiring column 4 and the plug-in piece 5 at both ends are permanently fixed inside the switch machine wiring, which bears the wiring function; the contact group 2 independently realizes the contact on-off function, and the electrical connection is completed through the vertical plug-in of the plug-in head 6 and the plug-in piece 5, and the axial compression and fixation of the fixing bolt 3. The layout design of the plug-in direction perpendicular to the bolt locking direction, combined with the weather resistance of the high-insulation material and the sealing structure at the bottom of the contact group 2, effectively resists vibration, high temperature and humidity, and pollution erosion, and ensures the long-term stability of mechanical and electrical connection;

[0033] In the maintenance stage, the contact group 2 can be quickly disassembled and replaced through the pluggable structure, without adjusting the wiring of the contact seat 1, completely avoiding the cumbersome operation and miswiring risk of the traditional scheme of disconnection and reconnection. The vertical locking design of the fixing bolt 3 further prevents loosening, and guarantees the reliability of the connection in extreme environment. In addition, the contact group 2 can be regularly repaired or overhauled, and the performance can be restored through the standardized maintenance process, so that it can be continuously in good working condition. The design significantly shortens the fault handling time and reduces the frequency of rescue repair of the electric section, and fundamentally solves the problems of poor contact and insulation failure caused by environmental degradation of the open contact, and provides reliable protection for railway operation safety and efficiency.

[0034] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the technical features of the utility model are not limited to this. Any simple change, equivalent replacement or modification made on the basis of the utility model to solve basically the same technical problem and achieve basically the same technical effect is covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
