Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contactor structure technology, and in particular to an electromagnetic system for contactors. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to circuit breakers, contactors are used more frequently and have higher reliability requirements. The operating mechanism consists of a closing coil with an iron core and an armature. When the coil is energized or de-energized, it drives the armature to move, thereby closing or opening the contactor.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] 1. The high starting current generates a strong initial attraction force, causing the moving iron core to rapidly strike the coil iron core, which exacerbates the wear of the iron core;

[0005] 2. The Joule heating generated by the current causes the coil and core to heat up, affecting the system's reliability and lifespan;

[0006] 3. There is a contradiction between reducing the holding current and ensuring reliable holding. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an electromagnetic system for contactors in order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an electromagnetic system for a contactor, including a mounting beam installed in an AC vacuum contactor, two side plates fixedly installed on the mounting beam, a stationary iron core and a coil installed between the two side plates, a rotating shaft movably inserted and installed on the side plates through slots, and a moving iron core assembly installed in the center of the rotating shaft through a connecting lever.

[0009] The moving iron core assembly is a structure made of several stacked cold-rolled steel plates and riveted together with a rivet group; the surface of the steel plates is burr-free; the left and right sides of the cold-rolled steel plates are semi-circular structures that match the shape of the coil;

[0010] The rivet group consists of four rivets arranged in a parallelogram, with two rivets installed at the center of the corresponding semi-circular structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting beam of this utility model is provided with a limiting block that cooperates with the moving iron core assembly;

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a limit protrusion is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the moving iron core assembly, and the limit block on the mounting beam plays a limiting role in the moving iron core assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the left and right ends of the rotating shaft described in this utility model are provided with switch levers that cooperate with the auxiliary switch inside the AC vacuum contactor.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the shaft drives the switch lever to rotate synchronously and hit the auxiliary switch, thus switching the state of the auxiliary switch.

[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the stationary iron core of this utility model is 25mm to 37mm, and the diameter of the copper wire of the coil is 0.6mm to 0.8mm;

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic induction intensity can be saturated and the material cost can be reduced.

[0017] Furthermore, the moving iron core assembly and the connecting lever described in this utility model are assembled through the cooperation of positioning pin holes and screws.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. In the electromagnetic system of the contactor of this utility model, the moving iron core adopts a structure of four layers of cold-rolled steel plates, and uses a parallelogram positioning connection with rivets, combined with the connection of the rotating shaft lever, which can increase the connection strength, reduce heat generation, reduce eddy current loss, and improve the magnetic response speed.

[0020] 2. The rotating shaft assembly integrates the side plate and the switch lever, serving both lateral protection and functional linkage purposes;

[0021] 3. The diameter parameters of the coil core and the coil copper wire have been optimized, which allows the magnetic induction intensity to reach saturation and reduces material costs;

[0022] 4. The structural profile of the moving iron core is designed to conform to the shape of the impact surface of the coil iron core, which effectively reduces the problem of iron core wear that is more likely to occur when a moving iron core with a conventional general structure is impacted.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 An electromagnetic system for a contactor is shown, including a mounting beam 1 installed inside an AC vacuum contactor. Two side plates 2 are fixedly installed on the mounting beam 1. A stationary iron core 3 and a coil 4 are installed between the two side plates 2. A rotating shaft 6 is movably inserted and installed on the side plates 2 through a slot 5. A moving iron core assembly is installed in the center of the rotating shaft 6 through a connecting lever 7.

[0029] The moving iron core assembly is a structure consisting of several cold-rolled steel plates 8 stacked together and riveted together by a rivet group; the left and right sides of the cold-rolled steel plates 8 are semi-circular structures that match the shape of the coil 4;

[0030] The rivet assembly consists of four rivets 9 arranged in a parallelogram, with two of the rivets 9 installed at the center of the corresponding semi-circular structure.

[0031] The mounting beam 1 is equipped with a limiting stop 10 that cooperates with the moving iron core assembly. The left and right ends of the rotating shaft 6 are equipped with switch levers 11 that cooperate with the auxiliary switches inside the AC vacuum contactor.

[0032] The diameter of the new static iron core 3 is 25mm to 37mm, and the diameter of the copper wire of the coil 4 is 0.6mm to 0.8mm.

[0033] The moving iron core assembly and the connecting lever 7 are assembled through the engagement of the locating pin hole and the screw 12.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] The moving iron core assembly is assembled with the rotating shaft by using the positioning pin hole and screw fastening of the connecting lever. After the coil is energized, the moving iron core assembly hits the coil due to the attraction and then remains attracted. The rotating shaft remains stable under the support of the side plate. At the same time, the side plate protects the coil from external interference. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the switch lever to rotate synchronously and hit the auxiliary switch, switching the state of the auxiliary switch.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
