[0002] A magnetically latched DC contactor is an electrical control device that uses the combined action of a permanent magnet and an electromagnetic coil to achieve contactor engagement and disengagement. Its core feature is that after electromagnetic force engages the contactor, the permanent magnet maintains the engaged state, and disengagement is achieved only when necessary via reverse current, thus realizing low-power, high-reliability switching control. It is widely used in new energy, power systems, and industrial automation, and is particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent operation and long-term stable operation, offering advantages such as energy saving, long lifespan, and vibration resistance.

[0003] In existing magnetic latching DC contactors, permanent magnets are typically attached to the upper bracket via riveting or bonding. However, these methods have certain limitations. Riveting is complex and cumbersome to operate; while bonding is simple, it carries the risk of adhesive failure or accidental detachment of the permanent magnet, leading to unreliable connections and affecting the stability of the magnetic latching function, or even causing magnetic latching failure.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0020] The magnetic latching DC contactor structure of this utility model embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a housing 1, terminals 2, and a magnetic circuit assembly 3. The magnetic circuit assembly 3 includes a hollow lower support 31, a coil frame 32 installed inside the lower support 31, a magnetic sleeve 33 fixed inside the coil frame 32, an iron core 34 movable inside the coil frame 32, a push rod 35 connected to the iron core 34, an upper support 36 fixed to the upper end of the lower support 31, a magnetic pole block 37 fixedly connected to the upper support 36, and a permanent magnet 38 fixed to the upper end of the coil frame 32. The housing 1 covers the upper part of the upper support 36, and the terminals 2 are fixed to the housing 1. The upper end of the coil frame 32 has a limiting area 321, and the bottom of the limiting area 321 has an upward-facing support step 322. The magnet 38 is installed in the limiting area 321 and its bottom end is supported on the supporting step 322. The magnetic pole block 37 is positioned at the upper end of the permanent magnet 38. This magnetic latching DC contactor structure has been optimized and exhibits significant benefits: by embedding the permanent magnet 38 into the limiting area 321 inside the coil frame 32, and using the supporting step 322 at the bottom and the magnetic pole block 37 at the top to support and limit it respectively, the permanent magnet 38 is quickly and stably fixed. This design not only avoids the assembly complexity and risk of detachment associated with traditional riveting or bonding methods, but also significantly improves the practicality and reliability of the product, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the magnetic latching contactor.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The housing 1 has a through hole 11, through which the terminal 2 passes. One end of the terminal 2 extends into the housing 1 and has a stationary contact 21. Inside the housing 1, there is a moving contact 5 corresponding to the stationary contact 21. The moving contact 5 is connected to a push rod 35. When the DC contactor is working, the moving contact 5 is moved by controlling the push rod 35, thereby realizing the contact and separation of the moving contact 5 and the stationary contact. The other end of the terminal 2 extends out of the housing 1 as an external terminal 22, which is used to connect external wires. A fixing groove 12 is formed on the inner side of the housing 1 around the terminal 2. A resin sealing layer 13 is provided in the fixing groove 12. The resin sealing layer 13 is fixedly connected to the terminal 2 and the housing 1. The resin sealing layer 13 is formed by curing insulating resin (such as epoxy resin) injected into the fixing groove 12. This structure enhances the fixing firmness of the terminal 2, effectively prevents the terminal 2 from loosening, and ensures the sealing of the corresponding parts. At the same time, it simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, and has significant use value and economic benefits.

[0022] See Figure 3 The through hole 11 is provided with an inward-facing stop step 14, and the terminal 2 is provided with a stop platform 23. The terminal 2 passes through the through hole 11 from the inside to the outside. The stop platform 23 and the stop step 14 abut against each other to form a stop and limit on the terminal 2. This limiting structure, combined with the resin sealing layer 13, can ensure the stable installation of the terminal 2 and avoid displacement or loosening of the terminal 2 during subsequent use.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower bracket 31 is provided with an outer shell 4. The outer shell 4 is fixedly connected to the lower bracket 31 by screws. The outer shell 4 can protect the magnetic circuit assembly 3. In order to accommodate the installation of the magnetic latching DC contactor, the outer shell 4 is provided with an outwardly protruding mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 is provided with mounting holes, so that the magnetic latching DC contactor can be directly fixed to the external mounting part by fixing screws through the mounting holes. This design simplifies the installation process and improves the installation efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer casing 4 is provided with a countersunk hole 42, and the head of the screw is recessed into the countersunk hole 42. This design achieves a flat surface treatment between the screw head and the surface of the outer casing 4, which not only improves the appearance of the outer casing 4, but also avoids installation interference or potential problems that may be caused by the screw head protruding outward.

[0025] See Figure 1The magnetic pole block 37 extends into the coil frame 32 to block and limit the permanent magnet 38. The magnetic pole block 37 has an upwardly protruding annular convex edge 371. The upper bracket 36 has a corresponding fixing hole 361. After the annular convex edge 371 passes through the fixing hole 361, it is deformed by riveting outward and directly fastened to the edge of the fixing hole 361. This riveting connection method ensures a firm and stable connection between the magnetic pole block 37 and the upper bracket 36, avoiding the loosening problem that may occur with traditional screw connections.

[0026] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
