Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DC contactor technology, specifically to a DC contactor support spring structure that reduces bounce. Background Technology

[0002] In the DC contactor market, it is often referred to as the moving contact assembly. This part is the moving component in the DC contactor. The moving iron core moves upward, causing the moving contact to move upward and make contact with the stationary contact to conduct electricity, thus realizing the conduction of the main circuit of the DC contactor as a switching element.

[0003] Currently, the moving contact assembly structure of DC contactors on the market is relatively uniform, all adopting a bridge-type moving contact, and all featuring a contact spring at the bottom of the moving contact to provide contact pressure. While this achieves certain functions, in actual use, the support point of a single contact spring is very centrally located. During the engagement process, the moving contact bounces after contacting the stationary contact, causing significant oscillation and resulting in severe bouncing. This can easily lead to contact erosion and adhesion when connected under load. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a DC contactor support spring structure that reduces bounce, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art. This technical solution can support both ends of the moving contact, so that the moving contact will not swing left and right significantly, thereby improving the DC contactor's lifespan under load and its anti-adhesion capability under load.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a DC contactor support spring structure for reducing bounce, comprising a guide plate, a magnetic sheet installed at the bottom of the guide plate, and a moving iron core provided at the bottom of the guide plate. A circular shaft is installed through the moving iron core, and a reaction spring is installed between the moving iron core and the guide plate. The reaction spring is sleeved on the outside of the circular shaft. The top of the circular shaft passes through the guide plate, and a moving contact piece is installed near the top of the outer side of the circular shaft. A contact spring is installed between the moving contact piece and the guide plate, and the contact spring is sleeved on the outside of the circular shaft. A support spring is installed between the bottom of the moving contact piece and the top of the guide plate.

[0006] Preferably, the support spring includes a base plate with a circular hole. The base plate is mounted on the top of the guide plate, and the circular shaft passes through the circular hole. Two support plates are fixedly mounted on the base plate. Each of the two support plates has a side groove, and the two side grooves are respectively engaged with the two ends of the movable contact plate.

[0007] Preferably, a pad is attached to the top of the substrate, and the top of the pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reaction spring.

[0008] Preferably, the pad is circular, and the outer diameter of the pad is larger than the inner diameter of the circular hole.

[0009] Preferably, both of the support plates are inclined.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] By incorporating a support spring, positioned below the moving contact, the support spring stabilizes the moving contact when it bounces back from the contact point, preventing it from swaying significantly from side to side. Furthermore, the increased support spring reduces the contact bounce amplitude at the moment of contact, minimizing contact erosion caused by bounce during load switching. This significantly extends the load switching life of the DC contactor and enhances its anti-sticking capability during load switching. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a technical solution: a DC contactor support spring structure to reduce bounce, including a guide plate 2, a magnetic sheet 4 installed at the bottom of the guide plate 2, and a moving iron core 1 at the bottom of the guide plate 2. A round shaft 5 is installed through the moving iron core 1, and a reaction spring 3 is installed between the moving iron core 1 and the guide plate 2. The reaction spring 3 is sleeved on the outside of the round shaft 5. The top of the round shaft 5 passes through the guide plate 2, and a moving contact piece 7 is installed near the top of the round shaft 5. A contact spring 6 is installed between the moving contact piece 7 and the guide plate 2. The contact spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the round shaft 5, and a support spring 8 is installed between the bottom of the moving contact piece 7 and the top of the guide plate 2.

[0018] Specifically, when the moving contact 7 bounces back during a collision, the supporting spring 8, being connected to both ends of the moving contact 7, plays a stabilizing role, preventing the moving contact 7 from swinging significantly from side to side, thus improving stability. It can also reduce contact erosion caused by bouncing during the moment of connection under load, significantly improving the lifespan of the DC contactor under load and enhancing its anti-adhesion capability during connection under load.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the support spring 8 includes a base plate 81 with a circular hole 82. The base plate 81 is mounted on the top of the guide plate 2, and the circular shaft 5 passes through the circular hole 82. Two support plates 83 are fixedly mounted on the base plate 81. Each of the two support plates 83 has a side groove 84, and the two side grooves 84 are respectively engaged with the two ends of the movable contact plate 7.

[0020] Specifically, the substrate 81 is fitted onto the outside of the circular shaft 5, and the two support pieces 83 are respectively snapped into the two ends of the moving contact piece 7 to complete the installation of the support spring piece 8. The installation is convenient and can also play a stabilizing role.

[0021] As an optional implementation, a pad 9 is attached to the top of the substrate 81, and the top of the pad 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reaction spring 3.

[0022] Specifically, by setting the pad 9, the substrate 81 can be stably positioned on the guide plate 2, making subsequent operations more stable.

[0023] As an optional implementation, the pad 9 is circular, and the outer diameter of the pad 9 is larger than the inner diameter of the circular hole 82.

[0024] Specifically, the above settings enable the pad 9 to provide a good limiting effect on the substrate 81.

[0025] As an optional implementation, both support plates 83 are inclined.

[0026] Specifically, this arrangement makes the fixing points of the two support plates 83 and the base plate 81 arranged in a triangular shape, forming a triangular force-bearing point, which improves stability.
