Background
The contactor is a control switch element with isolation function, and the control device for controlling the switch state of the main loop by utilizing the attraction force generated between the electromagnet and the armature (moving core) can realize the isolation control of the low-current low-voltage loop and the high-current high-voltage loop. The rated long-time energizing current of the contactor applied to the high-voltage high-current protection of the electric vehicle at present is generally not more than 400A, and the breaking current is generally not more than 3000A.
Referring to fig. 1, a control signal input end 101 and a control signal output end 102 are respectively connected with an electromagnet of the contactor; an on-off switch is arranged between the main circuit input terminal 103 and the main circuit output terminal 104, and the on-off of the on-off switch is determined by a moving contact of the contactor. The control signal gives a control electric signal to the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet acts to generate electromagnetic force to drive the moving contact to move to the position of the fixed contact, and the disconnected circuit between the main circuit input end 103 and the main circuit output end 104 is communicated; when the circuit is disconnected, the movable contact is classified to an initial non-contact position under the action of electromagnetic force (or a return spring), so that the connection between the main circuit input end 103 and the main circuit output end 104 is disconnected again.
Typical structure of the prior art double break contactor referring to fig. 2, the input terminal contact and post 001 and the output terminal contact and post 002 and the insulation upper housing 003 constitute a top cover assembly. The moving contact, the conductive plate 004 and the moving core 005 form a whole, and are arranged in an electromagnet cavity 006, and the electromagnet cavity is arranged in an insulating lower shell 007. The action principle is as follows: when the electromagnetic switch is in suction, the moving iron core and the moving contact assembly move upwards under the action of the electromagnet, the moving contact is connected with two contacts on the top cover assembly, and the input and output end circuit is conducted. When the movable iron core and the movable contact assembly are disconnected, the movable iron core and the movable contact assembly move downwards under the action of an electromagnet (or a reset spring) to separate the movable contact from the two contacts on the top cover assembly.
The contactor also has the following defects at present: the large current is difficult to break, and when the fault current exceeds the rated current by more than a factor, the large current cannot be broken, so that the circuit cannot be broken due to contact sintering, and explosion accidents or other safety accidents can be caused to the contactor and other parts of the loop; the action time is about 10ms, the on-load breaking time is more than 10ms, and because the breaking time is longer, a plurality of fault currents can still damage the lower-level devices or the contactor; in the off state, there is a possibility of abnormal suction due to vibration, electromagnetic interference, or the like, so that the contactor cannot be used as a safety device for reliably opening the circuit.

Detailed Description
The above technical solution, the preferred embodiments are now described in detail with reference to the drawings.
First, the operation principle will be described. The invention adds a contactor schematic diagram of an excitation scheme: referring to fig. 3, an excitation switch 106 capable of forcibly cutting off the contact between a movable contact and a fixed contact of a contactor is added on a conventional contactor, and the excitation switch module 106 is connected with an excitation cut-off module signal input 107 and an excitation cut-off module signal output 108 respectively to receive an excitation cut-off signal. When the traditional contactor does not act to cut off except the generation, the excitation switch module acts after receiving an excitation cutting-off signal, the connection between the moving contact and the fixed contact of the contactor is forcibly cut off, the moving contact and the fixed contact are separated from contact, and a circuit is disconnected to implement protection work. When the current is large and the generated arc is large, an auxiliary arc extinguishing mechanism can be added to extinguish the arc. The principle of operation is that with reference to fig. 4, an arc extinguishing circuit 105 is connected in parallel between the main circuit input 103 and the main circuit output 104 to extinguish an arc generated when the circuit is switched off. In a normal working state, the arc extinguishing circuit is disconnected, the excitation cut-off switch module does not act, and only the contactor works normally; when an accident happens, the cut-off switch module is excited to act, the arc extinguishing circuit is conducted by the guide, then the contact between the moving contact and the static contact is forcedly isolated, the main circuit is cut off, and then arc extinguishing is carried out through the auxiliary arc extinguishing device.
The invention adds an excitation cut-off module and an auxiliary arc extinguishing circuit on the basis of the traditional contactor, and mainly aims to realize the following 5 purposes: 1. in addition to the electromagnetic force action switch function (the original function of the relay), an additional function of exciting and cutting off a circuit loop is added; 2. the arc extinguishing fuse is used for effectively extinguishing arc when the circuit is matched with the circuit change-over switch to excite and cut off, so that arc damage is avoided; 3. the excitation cut-off function can cut off larger current; 4. the action speed is faster when the excitation is cut off; 5. the excitation cut-off function provides physical isolation, keeps reliable cut-off and can be used as a safety protection element.
According to the above-described operation principle, a specific contactor structure to which the excitation cut-off function is added is as follows. Referring to fig. 5 and 6, an electromagnet 204 is disposed at the lower part in the inner housing, a chamber is formed in the electromagnet, a moving iron core is disposed in the chamber, a support rod for supporting a moving contact is disposed above the moving iron core, the moving iron core is connected with the support rod through a connecting spring, and the lower end rod part of the support rod and the moving iron core are disposed in the chamber of the electromagnet. Under the action of the magnetic force of the electromagnet, the movable iron core moves upwards along the cavity, and meanwhile, under the action of the thrust and the spring force of the movable iron core, the supporting rod moves upwards along the cavity. The support rod is provided with a buffer spring on the outer periphery of the rod body above the electromagnet, the upper end of the buffer spring is fixedly connected with a moving contact 203, the moving contact is positioned on two sides of the outer periphery of the rod body of the support rod, and the upper end of the moving contact is provided with a pressing part around the rod body of the support rod. The buffer spring can buffer the pressure when the movable contact contacts the fixed contact, so that the movable contact and the fixed contact are prevented from being extruded and damaged in the contact process. The movable contacts surrounding the two sides of the support rod body are connected through the support rod body and the pressing piece, and the movable contacts are made of conductive materials. On the inner shell above the movable contact, fixed contacts (201, 202) and binding posts thereof are respectively arranged corresponding to the movable contacts on two sides of the support rod body. The fixed contacts are arranged at intervals, and cavities are arranged above the support rod body, namely on the inner shell between the fixed contacts. The support rod body and the movable iron core are respectively provided with a communicated through hole. An excitation shut-off actuator 206, in this embodiment a piston 206 with a rod, which may also be a slide with a rod, is arranged in the hollow. The excitation cutting execution unit is made of insulating materials. The piston is positioned in the cavity, the rod body of the piston rod penetrates through the through holes of the rod body of the support rod and the movable iron core, and the through holes are used for guiding up-and-down displacement. Within this cavity, an excitation shut-off energy storage unit 205 is provided above the piston. A limiting boss is arranged in the cavity near the upper end, the excitation cut-off energy storage unit 205 is abutted against the limiting boss, and the upper end of the excitation cut-off energy storage unit is fixed on the inner shell through cover plate compression. A sealing device is arranged at the opening of the lower end of the cavity, and a rod body of the piston rod penetrates through the sealing device. The sealing device can be a sealing film, a thin plate which is easy to break or other structures which are easy to be punched by the upper end part of the piston. When the movable contact moves upwards to be in contact with the fixed contact, the upper end part of the support rod body is positioned below the cavity sealing device.
The excitation cut-off energy storage unit 205 may be a gas generator or may be another physically or chemically converted energy storage unit. The electric control device can be driven to trigger by receiving an electric signal of an external control circuit to provide driving force for exciting the cut-off execution unit. At present, the excitation cut-off energy storage unit 205 generally adopts a gas generator, the gas generator receives an electric signal sent by an external control circuit and then acts to release high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas drives a piston rod to downwards displace to break a sealing device, and then the lower part of the upper end part of the piston rod abuts against the upper end surface of a support rod body to drive the support rod to drive a movable contact to downwards forcibly displace, so that the movable contact is forced to be separated from a static contact, and the main circuit is disconnected. The piston is provided with a stop mechanism, and when the piston moves to a designated position, the stop mechanism assists the piston to stop moving and prevent the piston from reversing, so that the movable contact and the fixed contact of the contactor are prevented from being connected again due to vibration, electromagnetic interference and the like.
An auxiliary arc extinguishing device 207 is arranged outside the inner shell, and various auxiliary arc extinguishing devices are provided, and the auxiliary arc extinguishing device is an arc extinguishing fuse. In this embodiment, an arc extinguishing fuse is used. One end of the arc extinguishing fuse is electrically connected with the fixed contact and the binding post 201 at the input end of the contactor, and the other end of the arc extinguishing fuse passes through the position corresponding to the lower end of the piston rod and is electrically connected with the fixed contact 202 and the binding post at the output end of the contactor. The conductors of the arc extinguishing fuse, which are respectively and electrically connected with the static contacts (201, 202) and the binding posts are conductive plates. The conducting plate at the corresponding position of the lower end of the piston rod is broken into two parts, a switch fracture 208 is arranged between the two parts of conducting plates, and the appearance of the minimum inner diameter of the conducting plate is matched with the appearance of the rod body of the piston rod. Through holes for the rod body of the piston rod to pass through are respectively formed in the inner shell above the fracture and the electromagnet, and the lower end of the piston rod is arranged in the switch fracture in a penetrating way. A circle of conducting ring layer 210 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the rod body at the lower part of the piston rod, when the contactor is in the normal working state, the conducting ring layer is positioned above the switch fracture and is not contacted with the fracture of the conducting plate, and the arc extinguishing circuit is not conducted because the piston and the rod body are made of insulating materials; when the moving contact and the fixed contact are required to be excited to be cut off in an abnormal way, the piston rod is displaced downwards, the conductive structure moves downwards along with the moving contact to enter the fracture of the switch to be in close contact with the fracture, and the arc extinguishing circuit is conducted, so that the arc extinguishing fuse is fused to conduct arc extinguishing.
The outer shell, the auxiliary arc extinguishing device and the like are further coated with an outer shell, a circuit board 209 is arranged on one side between the outer shell and the inner shell, and the circuit board 209 is connected with the energy storage unit 205 to provide electric signals for the energy storage unit. When the overload current is small or the generated arc is small, the auxiliary arc extinguishing device can be used for extinguishing arc. The circuit board is also not arranged and can be directly connected with the excitation cut-off energy storage unit through an external control circuit.
The working principle is as follows: referring to fig. 7 and 8, in a normal operation state, when the main circuit is required to be connected, the electromagnet 204 of the contactor generates magnetic force, and under the action of electromagnetic force and a spring, the moving iron core moves upwards, so that the support rod and the moving contact are driven to displace upwards to the position of the fixed contact to be contacted with the fixed contact, and the main circuit is connected. At this time, the upper end face of the supporting rod is positioned below the sealing device of the cavity where the upper end part of the piston rod is positioned; the upper end of the piston rod is located at the initial position in the cavity, the lower end of the piston rod is located at the initial position in the fracture in the arc extinguishing circuit, the conducting ring at the lower end of the piston rod is located above the fracture, the arc extinguishing circuit is not conducted, and the excitation and cutting-off energy storage unit 205 does not act.
When an unexpected fault occurs and the contactor cannot automatically break the main circuit, the excitation and disconnection energy storage unit 205 receives an electric signal to trigger action, high-pressure gas is released to drive the piston to move downwards, the upper end part of the piston rod breaks through the sealing device of the cavity and then is propped against the upper end surface of the support rod; the lower end of the piston rod synchronously moves downwards, and a conductive structure 217 on the piston rod enters a switch fracture of the arc extinguishing circuit to be communicated with the arc extinguishing circuit; meanwhile, the piston forcedly pushes the supporting rod to downwards drive the moving contact to downwards displace, so that the moving contact is forced to be separated from the fixed contact, and the main circuit is disconnected; after the main circuit is disconnected, the instantaneous overload current fuses an arc-extinguishing fuse in the conducted arc-extinguishing circuit, and the current is cut off to conduct arc extinction.
After the circuit is cut off, a stop mechanism on the cut-off module execution unit 206 is excited to stay at a stop position, so that the contact moving contact 203 and the contact fixed contacts (201 and 202) are always kept at a separation position, and the main circuit is prevented from being switched on by mistake.
Referring to fig. 9, 10, 11 and 12, another contactor structure is shown. An electromagnet 404 is arranged at the inner lower part of the insulating shell, a movable iron core is arranged in a cavity in the electromagnet, a guide sleeve is arranged in the electromagnet cavity above the movable iron core, and the guide sleeve is fixedly arranged on the insulating shell above the electromagnet. A connecting spring is arranged between the movable iron core and the guide sleeve. The supporting rod penetrates through the guide sleeve and is fixedly connected with the movable iron core. Moving contacts 403 are arranged on two sides of the outer periphery of the upper end of the supporting rod, a buffer spring is arranged on the outer periphery of the supporting rod below the moving contacts, the moving contacts are fixed at the upper end of the buffer spring, and a pressing part is arranged on the moving contacts.

The excitation execution unit 406 is made of an insulating material, which may be a piston or a slider, and in this embodiment is a piston. The lower end of the piston is an impact end which is in the shape of a cone, frustum, circle or other structural form, in this embodiment a cone-shaped structure is used. The excitation cut-off energy storage unit 405 may be a gas generator or may be another physically or chemically converted energy storage unit. Which can be activated by receiving an electrical signal from an external control circuit to provide a driving force for activating the shut-off actuator. At present, the exciting and cutting-off energy storage unit 405 generally adopts a gas generator, the gas generator receives an electric signal sent by an external control circuit and then acts to release high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas drives a piston to downwards displace to break a sealing device and then to press the upper end face of a supporting rod, the moving contact is forcedly downwards displaced, the moving contact is separated from the fixed contact, and the main circuit is disconnected. An auxiliary arc extinguishing device 408 is provided on the outside of the insulating housing on the side of the moving contact and the fixed contact, and the auxiliary arc extinguishing device in this embodiment adopts an arc extinguishing fuse, or may be another device having an arc extinguishing function. One end of the arc extinguishing fuse is connected with a fixed contact 401 serving as an input end through a conductive plate, and the other end of the arc extinguishing fuse is connected with a fixed contact 402 serving as an output end through a conductive plate. The two ends of the two conductive plates are conductive elastic pieces (411, 412) with certain elasticity, and the conductive elastic pieces (411, 412) form a switch fracture outside the insulating shell. A through hole is provided in the insulating housing corresponding to the fracture, an insulating connecting rod 409 is provided in the through hole as an arc extinguishing circuit control switch, and a circle of conductive structure 410 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod extends out of the through hole and is abutted against the peripheral inclined plane of the impact end of the piston. The other end extends out of the insulating shell and is positioned in a fracture formed by the conductive elastic sheet. When the piston does not act, the conductive structure 410 on the connecting rod is not connected with the switch fracture formed by the conductive spring piece, i.e. the conductive ring layer 410 is positioned outside the fracture. When the piston moves downwards, the impact end inclined plane of the piston presses the connecting rod to displace outwards along the through hole, the conducting ring layer on the connecting rod enters the switch fracture to be connected with the conducting elastic sheets (411 and 412), and the arc extinguishing circuit is conducted, so that the arc extinguishing fuse is fused to cut off current and extinguish arc. The stop mechanism is arranged on the piston, when the piston reaches the end position, the support rod is pressed to force the moving contact to be separated from the fixed contact, and the stop mechanism ensures that the piston is always positioned at the end position, so that misoperation is prevented, and the moving contact is upwardly displaced to be contacted with the fixed contact again.
The working principle of the structure is shown in fig. 13 to 16, when the contactor works normally, the electromagnet drives the moving iron core to displace upwards when the circuit is initially switched on, and the supporting rod and the moving contact are driven to displace upwards to contact with the fixed contact to conduct the main circuit. At this time, the piston is located the initial position department in the cavity, and connecting rod one end supports and leans on the inclined plane lower part of the impact end of piston, and the other end is located the outside conductive shell fragment of insulating housing and forms the port, and conductive structure on the connecting rod is located the fracture outside, does not contact with the switch fracture to be connected, and the arc extinguishing circuit is non-conductive, and excitation cut-off module is motionless. When unexpected faults occur, the excitation cut-off energy storage unit receives an electric signal sent by the control protection circuit, the electric signal triggers the gas generator to act to release a large amount of high-pressure gas, under the action of the high-pressure gas, the piston moves downwards to break the sealing film to press against the upper end face of the support rod, the support rod is driven to drive the movable contact to displace downwards, the inclined plane of the impact end of the piston rod presses against the connecting rod to displace outwards along with the downward displacement of the piston rod, and the conductive structure on the connecting rod enters the switch fracture to conduct the arc extinguishing circuit; meanwhile, the piston continues to downwards, so that the moving contact and the fixed contact are forcefully separated from contact, and the main circuit is disconnected; since this process is very short, the time required is approximately 2ms or so. When the main circuit is disconnected, the generated instant overload current causes the fuse to blow off the cut-off current to conduct arc extinction.
After the main circuit is cut off and the arc extinguishing fuse is extinguished, the stop mechanism on the piston fixes the stop mechanism at the end position, so that the moving contact is prevented from being switched on the main circuit again by misoperation.
The auxiliary arc extinguishing device in each of the above embodiments is an arc extinguishing fuse, which is typically a melt type fuse, and an arc extinguishing medium such as sand is filled inside the fuse.
The retaining mechanism in the above embodiment is usually a barb or a buckle structure, and after the actuating unit of the cutting module is activated to move in place, the buckle and the corresponding position are buckled, so that the actuating unit is prevented from backing.
The switch break in the above embodiments may be horn-shaped, square-shaped, or other shapes.
