The patent GB2112213A that has been mentioned by the front discloses a kind of switchgear that has electromagnetic drive mechanism, and this driving mechanism has the magnetic flux transducer and the analog regulation that is used for magnetic flux that are arranged in magnetic system.The high loss power that is the necessary control element of analog regulation thus produces conversion, causes heat to increase, thereby is necessary to adopt cooling body.Disclose a kind of control device that is used for switchgear by US3579052A in addition, wherein regulated and inhale power by the time.
The objective of the invention is to the control device of the switchgear that is used for the above-mentioned type is simplified, be devoted to reduce the holding power of magnetic system on the one hand, be devoted to improve its machinery and electricity usage life-span on the other hand.Make the control device of this simplification can be applicable to different switchgears in addition, make and only must seldom coil variations and this magnetic system itself can make forr a short time than so far.
Purpose of the present invention utilizes the control device of the described type of this paper preface to realize thus, promptly in order irrespectively to realize control with time and stroke, utilize the magnetic flux in the adjusting device regulating winding, wherein stipulated the upper threshold value and the lower threshold value of described preset range, and the scope width that can select the coil flux amount to be regulated according to desired switching frequency.
Utilize the present invention, can realize the softness connection of switchgear, make contact and and then make whole switchgear obtain longer useful life by reducing contact bounce thus with plain mode.Favourable in addition part is, only must one is used to inhale and the magnetic flux scope of sticking, and this scope can be adjusted to narrower scope.The scope width that described coil flux is regulated be usually located at magnetic flux 0.01% to 10% between, be preferably between 0.05% to 5%.The scope width of coil flux amount is determined by switching frequency.
The present invention is based on following uncommon cognition, promptly select rated value best and the state and the location independent of magnetic flux in the coil.The test of carrying out on a concrete contactor shows, for reach magnetic system at suction power under the opening and magnetic system the holding force under closure state, magnetic flux must need approximately equalised value.Under closure state, be enough to produce so big magnetic flux once obvious lower electric current, because bigger inductance and less magnetic force impedance are arranged this moment.In a given magnetic system by irrelevant to adaptive value that makes magnetic flux of the adjusting of coil turn and voltage level.
So just obtained remarkable advantage, in the prior art, when simplifying the structure of magnetic system, must select magnetic flux in advance according to the time with respect to prior art.Favourable in addition part also is, the characteristic that obtains on a concrete contactor also can be transferred on the contactor of other size.Especially by the pressure air gap in the yoke that changes magnetic system, also can the adaptive performance of corresponding acquisition.
