Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a moving contact of a molded case circuit breaker. Background Technology
[0002] Existing molded case circuit breaker moving contacts typically consist of a moving contact body, contact points, and mounting components. When current is switched on and off, a high-temperature arc is generated between the moving and stationary contacts, which can easily cause the moving and stationary contacts to stick together, resulting in contact burn-out or even fusion, affecting the reliable breaking performance of the circuit breaker. Traditional moving contacts are mostly fixed by welding. Although the structure is simple, under the conditions of frequent circuit breaker operation, long-term heat exposure, and arc impact, the welded points are prone to loosening or deformation, causing the moving contact position to shift, reducing contact stability, and leading to poor conductivity or localized overheating. Furthermore, replacing or repairing the moving contact requires complete disassembly and welding, making maintenance complex and replacement costly. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a moving contact for a molded case circuit breaker.

The moving contact body includes a moving contact rotating part, a moving contact transition part, and a moving contact mating part. The upper end face of the moving contact mating part is provided with a moving contact positioning groove, and a moving contact insertion interface is provided in the moving contact positioning groove.

The base block limiting part is provided with a base block riveting hole. The moving contact docking part is provided with a moving contact riveting hole on the front and rear sides. The base block receiving part is attached to the moving contact positioning groove. After the base block limiting part is inserted into the moving contact socket, the connecting pin rivets the moving contact riveting hole and the base block riveting hole together. After the moving contact silver dot is placed in the base block limiting groove, the locking plate is inserted into the base block socket and the silver dot socket in sequence, and then the moving contact silver dot and the base block receiving part are spot welded.

[0007] The number of riveting holes for the seat block and the number of riveting holes for the moving contact are both two.
[0008] The moving contact body, the silver dot base block, the locking plate, and the connecting pin are all made of pure copper.
[0009] The advantages of the moving contact of this utility model molded case circuit breaker are as follows: the mechanical riveting and plug-in fixing structure is adopted, which reduces the large-area welding process and avoids thermal damage or deformation of the moving contact surface caused by high welding temperature, thus effectively ensuring the surface smoothness and electrical contact performance of the contact; the overall assembly process is more orderly and highly detachable, and the locking plate can be easily removed when the silver contact is repaired or replaced in the later stage, reducing maintenance costs.
