Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromagnetic contactors, specifically to an electromagnetic contactor with a mechanical linkage mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Electromagnetic contactors are among the most widely used electrical components in electrical automation control systems, and their safety and stability are crucial for the reliable operation of these systems. Currently, in the domestic low-voltage electrical industry, expanding the number of poles in small contactors used in household and similar applications requires a completely new design and re-molding of all parts to achieve the effect of a two-pole, four-pole, or even multi-pole contactor, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, with the increase in the number of poles, the design and manufacturing of contactors face even higher technical requirements. While optimizing and upgrading accordingly, it is also necessary to ensure the reliability of the electromagnetic mechanism, the durability of the contact system, and the effectiveness of the arc-extinguishing device, significantly increasing the difficulty of expanding the number of poles in electromagnetic contactors. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides an electromagnetic contactor with a mechanical linkage mechanism, which aims to solve the problem that when expanding the number of stages based on the existing two-stage contactor, a completely new design and new molding of all parts are required, resulting in high production costs and great difficulty in expansion.
[0004] To achieve its purpose, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An electromagnetic contactor with a mechanical linkage mechanism is provided. The electromagnetic contactor has an armature and a coil. A contact bracket is connected to the armature, and a changeover contact is connected to the coil. The electromagnetic contactor also has several sets of mechanical linkage mechanisms, which are respectively engaged with the armature and the contact bracket. The mechanical linkage mechanism includes a sickle-shaped interlocking element and a C-shaped interlocking element that are connected one-to-one. Adjacent sets of mechanical linkage mechanisms are connected by a linkage rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the sickle-shaped interlocking component includes an inverted L-shaped first connecting plate, with a first connecting part vertically connected to the outer side of the longitudinal portion of the first connecting plate, and a sickle-shaped hooking part connected to the inner side of the longitudinal portion of the first connecting plate, and a hook provided at the bottom of the longitudinal portion; a dovetail boss is provided on the inner side of the horizontal portion of the first connecting plate, and a bidirectional guide positioning groove is provided on the side of the inner cavity of the first connecting plate near the sickle-shaped hooking part.
[0007] Furthermore, the C-type interlocking component includes a 7-shaped second connecting plate, with a second connecting part vertically connected to the outer side of the longitudinal portion of the second connecting plate, and a C-shaped hook-on portion provided at the end of the longitudinal portion of the second connecting plate; a dovetail groove adapted to the dovetail boss is provided on the outer side of the horizontal portion of the second connecting plate, and a receiving window is provided in the inner cavity of the second connecting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, both the first connecting part and the second connecting part are cylindrical structures with openings, and the two ends of the linkage rod are respectively inserted into the openings of the first connecting part and the second connecting part to connect the mechanical linkage mechanisms of adjacent groups.
[0009] Furthermore, the sickle-shaped interlocking component is installed downward along the contact bracket via a bidirectional guide positioning groove until the bottom hook is attached to the contact bracket, and the sickle-shaped attachment part is attached to the changeover contact on the coil.
[0010] Furthermore, the C-type interlocking component is attached to the contact support through the receiving window. After the armature is inserted into the C-type attachment, the C-type interlocking component, the contact support, and the armature become an integral movable part that moves synchronously.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This utility model provides an electromagnetic contactor with a mechanical linkage mechanism. Based on a two-pole contactor, it is modularly combined and connected, and through the built-in mechanical linkage mechanism, it can be expanded into a four-pole or even multi-pole contactor, thereby increasing the number of poles of a small contactor. Through the interlocking principle of the mechanical linkage mechanism, the contactor's operation is synchronized, achieving synchronicity and consistency in the opening and closing of the contacts of four-pole or even multi-pole contactors, thus improving the overall reliability of the expanded contactor.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an electromagnetic contactor with a mechanical linkage mechanism. The electromagnetic contactor has an armature 5 and a coil 6. A contact support 4 is connected to the armature 5, and a changeover contact 7 is connected to the coil 6. The electromagnetic contactor also has two sets of mechanical linkage mechanisms, which are respectively engaged with the armature 5 and the contact support 4. The mechanical linkage mechanism includes a sickle-shaped interlocking member 1 and a C-shaped interlocking member 2 that are connected one-to-one.
[0021] The sickle-shaped interlocking component 1 includes an inverted L-shaped first connecting plate 106. A first connecting part 101 is vertically connected to the outer side of the longitudinal part of the first connecting plate 106, and a sickle-shaped hook part 103 is connected to the inner side of the longitudinal part of the first connecting plate 106. A hook 102 is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal part. A dovetail boss 104 is provided on the inner side of the horizontal part of the first connecting plate 106, and a bidirectional guide positioning groove 105 is provided on the side of the inner cavity of the first connecting plate 106 near the sickle-shaped hook part 103.
[0022] The C-type interlocking component 2 includes a 7-shaped second connecting plate 205, a second connecting part 201 vertically connected to the outer side of the longitudinal part of the second connecting plate 205, and a C-shaped hook part 204 provided at the end of the longitudinal part of the second connecting plate 205; a dovetail groove 202 adapted to the dovetail boss 104 is provided on the outer side of the horizontal part of the second connecting plate 205, and a receiving window 203 is provided in the inner cavity of the second connecting plate 205.
[0023] The first connecting part 101 and the second connecting part 201 are both cylindrical structures with openings. The two ends of the linkage rod 3 are respectively inserted into the openings of the first connecting part 101 and the second connecting part 201 to connect the mechanical linkage mechanisms of adjacent groups.
[0024] During installation, the sickle-shaped interlocking component 1 is aligned and installed downwards along the contact bracket 4 via the bidirectional guide positioning groove 105. During installation, the dovetail boss 104 of the sickle-shaped interlocking component 1 is aligned with the dovetail groove (202) of the C-type interlocking component 2, and simultaneously pushed downwards until the bottom hook 102 of the sickle-shaped interlocking component 1 is hooked onto the contact bracket 4, and the sickle-shaped hooking part 103 is hooked onto the switching contact 7 on the coil 6 with a gap. This is to allow sufficient distance for switching from the coil to the holding coil during the contactor's engagement process. The C-type interlocking component 2 is hooked onto the contact bracket 4 via the receiving window 203. After the armature 5 is inserted into the C-type hooking part 204, the C-type interlocking component 2, the contact bracket 4, and the armature 5 become a single movable part that moves synchronously. Finally, the mechanical linkage mechanisms of adjacent groups are connected via the linkage rod 3, and after being snapped in place, they are put into use to realize the function of a four-stage contactor. When a multi-stage contactor is required, a mechanical linkage mechanism can be added as needed.
