Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contactor technology, and in particular to a wide voltage AC contactor. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of AC contactors, traditional products have significant shortcomings in arc extinguishing performance, electrical connection stability, and voltage adaptability. Regarding arc extinguishing, the arc-extinguishing grids are mostly arranged vertically or horizontally, limiting the contact area and opportunity between the arc and the grids. This results in slow arc extinguishing and weak arc extinguishing capability. Heat accumulation in the arc-extinguishing chamber during arc combustion shortens its lifespan and affects the overall performance and reliability of the contactor. In terms of electrical connection, the static contact assembly uses a split structure, assembled from multiple parts, leading to high contact resistance, high energy consumption, and severe heat generation, reducing electrical connection efficiency and stability and increasing the risk of operational failures. Regarding voltage adaptability, traditional circuit boards have limited capacity to handle input voltage fluctuations and cannot adapt to large voltage fluctuations. When the voltage is unstable, the contactor may not function properly, affecting the operation of related equipment. Furthermore, the existing housing structure design is unreasonable, and assembly and disassembly are complex, increasing production, repair, and maintenance costs and time. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wide voltage AC contactor with good arc extinguishing performance, stable electrical connection and wide voltage adaptability.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a wide-voltage AC contactor, comprising a housing, within which a double-break contact assembly is disposed. The double-break contact assembly includes a moving contact assembly and stationary contact assemblies located on both sides of the moving contact assembly. An arc-extinguishing chamber is disposed between the moving contact assembly and the stationary contact assemblies on both sides. An arc-extinguishing shroud is disposed within the arc-extinguishing chamber, and the arc-extinguishing shroud includes a plurality of obliquely arranged arc-extinguishing grids. The housing has an opening corresponding to the arc-extinguishing grids of the arc-extinguishing shroud. A wide-voltage circuit board is also disposed within the housing, and the wide-voltage circuit board is electrically connected to the double-break contact assembly.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of the above structure are as follows: by arranging the arc-extinguishing grid plates inside the arc-extinguishing chamber obliquely, compared with the traditional vertical or horizontal arrangement, the contact area and contact opportunities between the arc and the grid plates can be increased. The housing has openings at the arc-extinguishing grid plates corresponding to the arc-extinguishing chamber, which helps the arc to dissipate heat quickly. The arc generates a lot of heat during combustion, and the openings can dissipate the heat to the surrounding environment more quickly, avoiding the accumulation of heat in the arc-extinguishing chamber, thereby reducing the temperature of the arc-extinguishing chamber and improving the arc-extinguishing ability. At the same time, the openings can also promote the circulation of gas in the arc-extinguishing chamber and accelerate the extinction of the arc. The wide voltage circuit board can stably process and convert input voltages of different ranges, ensuring that the AC contactor can still work normally under large voltage fluctuations.

[0006] This utility model further specifies that the stationary contact assembly includes a stationary contact connecting plate integrally formed and disposed at the lower end of the arc-extinguishing shroud. The stationary contact connecting plate includes a connecting plate and a magnetic conductive plate integrally formed by casting and covering the connecting plate. The connecting plate is provided with stationary contacts. Through integral molding, good electrical conductivity is achieved between the connecting plate and the magnetic conductive plate, reducing contact resistance, reducing energy loss and heat generation, and improving the efficiency and stability of the electrical connection. The integral casting process can ensure the material uniformity and conductivity of the stationary contact connecting plate, and the integrally formed stationary contact connecting plate reduces the assembly process of separate components.

[0007] This utility model is further configured with a housing comprising a base, a base seat covering the base, an upper seat covering the base, and an arc-extinguishing chamber cover covering the upper seat. The arc-extinguishing chamber is located inside the upper seat. The side walls of the arc-extinguishing chamber are symmetrically provided with slots for mounting a plurality of obliquely arranged arc-extinguishing grid plates. The wide-voltage circuit board is disposed in the area between the base and the base seat and is fixed by a bracket installed between the base and the base seat. The wide-voltage circuit board is mounted on one side of the bracket. The housing is composed of the base, base seat, upper seat, and arc-extinguishing chamber cover, which are sequentially assembled. This modular design makes the assembly and disassembly of the AC contactor more convenient. The symmetrical slots on the side walls of the arc-extinguishing chamber for mounting a plurality of obliquely arranged arc-extinguishing grid plates allow the arc-extinguishing grid plates to be stably installed inside the arc-extinguishing chamber. The wide-voltage circuit board is fixed by a bracket installed between the base and the base seat. This fixing method is simple and reliable, ensuring the stability of the wide-voltage circuit board during operation. Attached Figure Description
