Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical components, specifically to a thrust-type arc-extinguishing grid rear single-contact contact module. Background Technology

[0002] Existing control and protection switches and other equipment often have multiple sets of contact modules installed. Each contact module controls the on / off state of each phase. During control, the moving contact piece is usually driven by translating, so that the two moving contacts at both ends of the moving contact piece make contact with the stationary contacts of the incoming and outgoing lines respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of switching on and off. This structure has two sets of contacts per phase (each contact module), which increases material costs and manufacturing difficulty. At the same time, the two sets of contacts also increase the risk of failure. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a single-contact contact module with a thrust-type arc-extinguishing grid at the rear, which can effectively reduce the number of contacts, ensure contact reliability, reduce production costs, and keep the push spring away from the influence of electric arc.

[0004] To address the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: A thrust-type arc-extinguishing grid rear-mounted single-contact contact module, comprising a housing, the housing including an actuating chamber at its front end, an arc-extinguishing chamber at its rear end and equipped with an arc-extinguishing grid, a tripping chamber above the arc-extinguishing chamber, and further including a first hardware component located in the housing above the actuating chamber and a second hardware component located in the housing above the arc-extinguishing chamber. One end of the first hardware component extends outward from the front end of the housing, and the second hardware component has a stationary contact on its bottom surface at the position in front of the arc-extinguishing grid; the actuating chamber is provided with a moving contact rod hinged by a swing shaft, the moving contact rod being pushed by a push spring. The swing mechanism keeps the moving contact at its rear end in normally closed contact with the stationary contact. The tripping chamber is equipped with a tripping assembly and a swing rod located below the tripping assembly. The front end of the swing rod faces the front end of the housing and the rear end is hinged to the housing. It also includes a linkage rod that can slide up and down in the actuation chamber. The push rod of the tripping assembly pushes the swing rod so that its swing end pushes the linkage rod downward, thereby synchronously pushing the moving contact rod downward to separate the moving contact from the stationary contact. One end of the tripping coil of the tripping assembly is electrically connected to the second hardware component through a conductor, and the other end is connected to the housing through an external wire. The first hardware component and the moving contact rod are connected by a flexible wire.

[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the push spring is supported at the lower surface of the moving contact rod from the swing shaft toward the moving contact point, or at the upper surface of the moving contact rod from the swing shaft toward the moving contact point.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the axis of the push spring is tangent to the swing arc of the moving contact rod.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the moving contact rod is provided with a positioning part for centering or positioning the push spring; and the actuation chamber is provided with a support member for positioning and supporting the other end of the push spring.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning part is a protrusion formed by stamping in the direction of the push spring; the push spring is a tower spring, whose small end or large end supports the moving contact rod while being positioned by the protrusion.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that the swing arm is provided with a return spring for resetting the upper swing after the push rod of the tripping assembly pushes the lower swing.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the lower end of the linkage rod abuts against the moving contact rod, and the other end extends out from the upper end of the housing and is located in front of the trip chamber; the side of the linkage rod facing the trip chamber is provided with a linkage groove, and the swing end of the swing rod is located in the linkage groove; the end of the linkage rod away from the moving contact rod is provided with a control head.

[0011] The present invention is further configured to include an unlocking swing arm located in front of the tripping assembly, wherein the middle section of the unlocking swing arm is hinged to the tripping assembly or the housing and the hinge axis is oriented in the front-rear direction of the housing; before the swing arm swings down, the lower section of the unlocking swing arm is located on the side of the swing arm; after the swing arm swings down, swing space is left for the lower end of the unlocking swing arm and the lower end of the unlocking swing arm swings up above the swing arm and abuts against the swing arm to reset and lock the swing arm.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the unlocking swing arm is provided with a locking spring, and after the swing arm swings down, the lower end of the unlocking swing arm swings to the top of the swing arm under the action of the locking spring, and the upper end of the unlocking swing arm is provided with an unlocking part.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the external wiring of the external connection housing is provided with an insulating layer and the end is provided with a voltage-conducting connector.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The end of the first hardware component exposed outside the housing and the external wiring connecting it to the housing are used for wiring. The other end of the first hardware component is connected to the moving contact rod near the hinge position by a flexible wire to reduce the influence of the flexible wire's flexibility on the movement of the moving contact rod. Under normal conditions, the moving contact rod swings upward under the push of the push spring, making the moving contact contact with the stationary contact to achieve conduction. When the current is too large, the push rod of the trip assembly pushes the swing rod downward and causes the connecting rod to move downward, pushing the moving contact rod downward to separate the moving contact from the stationary contact and extinguish the arc using the arc-extinguishing grid. At the same time, the push spring stores and compresses. This structure only requires one moving contact and one stationary contact. Since the moving contact and stationary contact are generally made of precious metals, it effectively saves material costs, reduces the difficulty of the process, and improves the service life and reliability.

[0016] 2. When the push spring is supported at the lower surface of the moving contact rod from the swing shaft towards the moving contact point, one end of the moving contact rod is hinged to the swing shaft, and the other end is set with the moving contact point; when the push spring is supported at the upper surface of the moving contact rod from the swing shaft away from the moving contact point, the swing shaft is hinged to the middle section of the moving contact rod, and the push spring is kept away from the arc extinguishing grid to reduce the influence of high temperature on the push spring during arc pulling.

[0017] 3. Make the force on the push spring perpendicular to the swing direction of the moving contact rod. This structure allows the other end of the push spring to tilt away from the arc extinguishing grid when the push spring is supported at the position of the lower surface of the moving contact rod from the swing axis towards the moving contact point, so as to reduce the influence of high temperature on the push spring during arc pulling.

[0018] 4. The upper end of the connecting rod extends out from the upper end of the housing to be adapted to the action mechanism of the equipment; while the connecting groove is adapted to the swing arm to control the action of the connecting rod, it also provides the connecting rod with the freedom of up and down sliding stroke before the swing arm moves.

[0019] 5. When the trip coil is activated, the moving contact and the stationary contact disconnect. At the same time, the lever moves downward to allow the unlocking arm to swing and create space. After the unlocking arm swings, its lower end blocks the lever from resetting, so that the connecting rod maintains its resistance to the moving contact rod to prevent the moving contact and the stationary contact from re-engaging. When a reset is required, the unlocking arm is swung in the opposite direction to move it away from the lever, which will reset the lever, connecting rod, and moving contact rod.

The other end of the first hardware component 111 is connected to the moving contact rod 30 near the hinge position by a flexible wire 114 to reduce the influence of the flexibility of the flexible wire 114 on the movement of the moving contact rod 30. Under normal conditions, the moving contact rod 30 swings upward under the push of the push spring 113, so that the moving contact 31 contacts the stationary contact 1211 to achieve conduction. When the current is too large, the push rod 43 of the trip assembly 40 pushes the swing rod 41 downward and causes the connecting rod 42 to move downward, pushing the moving contact rod 30 downward, so that the moving contact 31 separates from the stationary contact 1211 and the arc is extinguished by the arc extinguishing grid 20. At the same time, the push spring 113 stores and compresses. This structure only requires one moving contact 31 and one stationary contact 1211.
