Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical accessories, specifically to a tension-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 tension-type arc-extinguishing grid rear single-contact contact module that can effectively reduce the number of contacts, ensure contact reliability, reduce production costs, and keep the tension spring away from the influence of electric arc.

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 to a swing shaft, the end of the moving contact rod away from the swing shaft is provided with a tension spring, and the other end is... The tension spring pulls down along the swing axis, causing the moving contact at its front end to swing upwards and maintain 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 connecting rod located in the actuating chamber that can slide up and down. The push rod of the tripping assembly pushes the swing rod so that its swing end pushes the connecting rod downwards, thereby synchronously pushing the moving contact rod downwards 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 one end of the tension spring is adapted to the moving contact rod, and the other end is connected to the housing through a spring pin.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the tension spring is a metal spring sheet, the metal spring sheet includes a pin joint section, a power storage section connected to the pin joint section, and a latching section connected to the power storage section. The power storage section is C-shaped or U-shaped, and the latching section is attached to the moving contact rod.

[0007] 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.

[0008] 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.

[0009] 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.

[0010] 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.

[0011] 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.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the housing is formed by two side covers fastening together, and the two side covers are fixed together by C-shaped clamps.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 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 tension of the tension spring, making the moving contact contact with the stationary contact to achieve conduction. When the current is too large, the push rod of the tripping 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 tension spring stores and stretches. This structure only requires one moving contact and one stationary contact. Since the moving contact and the 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.

[0015] 2. When the tension spring is a metal spring sheet, it expands and stores energy through the C-shaped or U-shaped structure of the energy storage section;

[0016] 3. 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.

[0017] 4. 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 and prevents the moving contact and the stationary contact from re-engaging. When resetting is required, swing the unlocking arm in the opposite direction to remove it from above the lever so that the lever, connecting rod and moving contact rod can be reset.

[0018] 5. The locking spring is preferably a torsion spring located at the hinge position of the unlocking swing arm; the unlocking part is used to adapt to the actuation mechanism of the equipment;

[0019] 6. The side cover has an embedding groove at the position of the C-shaped hoop. The C-shaped hoop is located in the embedding groove to avoid protruding outward and to ensure the compactness of the overall shape.

[0020] 7. The side of the tension spring away from the arc-extinguishing grid can effectively prevent the electric arc from burning it. Attached Figure Description
