Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of DC contactor technology, and in particular to a moving contact structure for a DC contactor. Background Technology
[0002] DC contactors play a number of important roles in electrical control systems, mainly including circuit switching, control and protection.
[0003] A DC contactor operates based on electromagnetic principles and consists of an electromagnet, contacts, and a spring. When the electromagnet is energized, it generates a magnetic field that attracts the contacts to close; when the electromagnet loses power, the spring separates the contacts, breaking the circuit.
[0004] Existing DC contactors typically employ an integrated moving contact structure. However, this design has the following drawbacks: the moving contact cannot generate stable contact pressure with the moving contact bridge, leading to increased contact resistance and an increased risk of arcing. Therefore, the applicant has developed a beneficial design and found a solution to the above problems. The technical solution described below was developed in this context. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the moving contact structure design of traditional DC contactors and to provide a product that has extended service life, improved heat dissipation performance, improved arc extinguishing performance, and good vibration resistance.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0007] A moving contact structure for a DC contactor includes a moving contact bridge and a moving contact. The moving contact includes a contact rod and a contact head. The contact head is provided with a pressure-bearing part, a lifting part, and a contacting part from bottom to top. The moving contact bridge is provided with at least two through holes for the contact rod to pass through. The contact rod is fixed to the back of the moving contact bridge by a riveting process. After riveting, the contact rod is flush with the surface of the back of the moving contact bridge.
[0008] Preferably, the moving contact bridge has a connecting hole and is disposed between two through holes.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the through hole is provided with a countersunk hole to accommodate the contact rod after riveting.
[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the contacting part is larger than the diameter of the raised part, and the diameter of the contacting part is smaller than the diameter of the pressure-bearing part.
[0011] Beneficial effects:
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] (1) This utility model, by designing the contact head in stages, allows the current to gradually increase during the closing process and gradually decrease during the opening process. This can effectively manage the electric arc and reduce the damage of the electric arc to the moving contact. Due to the reduction of the electric arc effect, the wear rate of the moving contact is slowed down, so the service life of the moving contact can be extended. Moreover, the staged design increases the contact area with air, which helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the moving contact and reduce local overheating.
[0014] (2) This utility model ensures uniform pressure between the moving contact and the moving contact bridge through the riveting process, which helps to maintain low and stable contact resistance and reduce the generation of electric arc. In addition, the flush design between the tail of the contact rod and the back of the moving contact bridge increases mechanical stability and reduces vibration and displacement that may occur during operation or use.

[0021] Reference example Figure 1 A moving contact structure for a DC contactor includes a moving contact bridge 1 and a moving contact 2. The moving contact 2 includes a contact rod 21 and a contact head 22. The contact head 22 has a pressure-bearing part 23, a raised part 24, and a contacting part 25 from bottom to top. The moving contact bridge 1 has at least two through holes 11 for the contact rod 21 to pass through. The contact rod 21 is fixed to the back of the moving contact bridge 1 by a riveting process. After riveting, the contact rod 21 is flush with the surface of the back of the moving contact bridge 1. By designing the contact head 22 in stages, the current gradually increases during the closing process and gradually decreases during the opening process. This can effectively manage the electric arc and reduce the damage of the electric arc to the moving contact 2. Due to the reduction of the electric arc effect, the wear rate of the moving contact 2 is slowed down, so the service life of the moving contact 2 can be extended. Moreover, the staged design increases the contact area with air, which helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the moving contact 2 and reduce local overheating.
[0022] It is worth mentioning that the moving contact bridge 1 is provided with a connection hole 12 and is located between two through holes 11. The connection hole 12 is used to connect to the push rod of the DC contactor.
[0023] It is worth mentioning that one end of the through hole 11 is provided with a countersunk hole 13 to accommodate the contact rod 21 after riveting;
[0024] It is worth mentioning that the diameter of the contact part 25 is larger than the diameter of the raised part 24, and the diameter of the contact part 25 is smaller than the diameter of the pressure-bearing part 23. The riveting process ensures that there is uniform pressure between the moving contact 2 and the moving contact bridge 1, which helps to maintain a low and stable contact resistance and reduce the generation of electric arc. In addition, the flush design between the tail of the contact rod 21 and the back of the moving contact bridge 1 increases mechanical stability and reduces vibration and displacement that may occur during operation or use.
[0025] The above design scheme can enable the product to achieve the advantages of extended service life, improved heat dissipation performance, improved arc extinguishing performance, and good vibration resistance.
[0026] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
