In Fig. 1 and 2, be used for the gas expansion and comprise the housing made from insulating material 12 from the arc control device 10 of the primary cut-out electrode of the electric arc type that goes out, and full with the gas of high dielectric strength, mainly adopt gas such as sulfur fluoride SF 6The inner chamber of arc control device 10 comprises a movable contact 14 of working with fixing contact device 16, and this is contact device 16 and solenoid 18 associatings that make the electric arc rotation fixedly.The movable contact 14 of described tubulose is positioned at the end of the elongated tubular made from electric conducting material 20, and this elongated tubular 20 can slide closely by the hole of insulation shell 12 one of them panel 22.The outer end of this elongated tubular 20 and an operating mechanism (not shown) coupling, this operating mechanism design is used for making described movable contact 14 to move between off-position (Fig. 1) and enable possition (Fig. 2).
Described fixedly contact device 16 by means of the column type conductive pole along described housing 12 vertically by with the hole to side panel 26 of described panel 22, be connected with the outside with electrode intercell connector 28.Described hollow tube 20 makes arc control device 10, in case when two contacts were opened in 14,16 minutes, just the external volume with described housing 12 communicated, so that make the gas can self-expanding.
Described insulation shell 12 forms by the butt joint of two and half shell 12A, 12B, and each half shell usefulness has high mechanical properties and heat-resisting resinous polymer mold pressing forms.
Referring to Fig. 3,4,5, being used for the solenoid 18 of arc extinguishing comprises that one group of copper conductive ring 18A that axially adjoins each other and pile up is connected in series by means of several hold-down screw 30 electricity, one group of insert 18B and described one group of alternate setting of conductive ring 18A made from insulating material.The front 31 of described coil 18 is equipped with an electric arc displacement rails 32, and described track 32 is annular, has the internal diameter than the slightly larger in diameter of movable contact 14.The back conductive ring 33 relative with described front 31 is connected with aforesaid conductive pole 24 by means of the supporting arm 34 that several constitute copper washers, and several supporting arms 34 separate by means of the fixedly contact device 16 of several cross-over blocks 36 and inside.Two steel washers 38,40 are fixed on the back of described coil 18 by several screws 30, and the centre is provided with insulating washer 41.
The gas expansion comprises three contact fingers 42 that are fan shape from the fixedly contact device 16 of arc-suppression circuit circuit breaker, and circumferential arrangement forms a cylindrical hollow contact.The internal diameter of this hollow contact clearly will adapt with the external diameter of movable contact 14, so that respectively in the beginning of movable contact 14 opening travels and shutoff stroke finally, allow to do retractile slip.
Each contact finger 42 connects mutually with curved cultrate spring, and the convex surface of spring is bearing on the cross-over block 36 of respective support arm 34.The edge 46 that three contact fingers 42 provide by means of three contact fingers 42 later with respect to the fixing centering of contact device 16 longitudinal axis is installed in the mode of padlock on the spigot 48 of post 24 and finishes.
Described coil 18 has less annular gap with one heart around described fixedly contact device 16, and the mounted in advance assembly that forms slider assembly is fixed on the panel 26 by means of nut 50, and this nut 50 can be from the outside of housing 12 near it.
The structural configuration of the fixedly contact device in the coil 18 is to produce fixedly main contact and the movable contact that permanent electric current flows and the fixedly starting the arc contact in current switching stage when fixedly contact device separates and in the coil 18 in order to give it with dual-use function, to be.In Fig. 6 to 9, each contact finger 42 usefulness composite metal structures is made, and adopts different materials to be welded.The body of contact finger 42 is made of copper, and is the cylindrical sector shape, nonvolatil electric current is passed through with the movable contact of box lunch 14 when in the closed position.Nickel-tungsten electrode 54 is welded in place in the rear portion of the body 52 of padlock edge 46 offsides.This electrode 54 is carried out fixing starting the arc contact, so as protection fixedly contact device 16 be not subjected to the effect of electric arc influence.
The interior columnar portion of body 52 is connected with electrode 54 by intermediate curve portion 56, so that in the insertion of the movable contact 14 of the dwell period of circuit breaker.The camber member 58 that one usefulness steel or other ferromagnetic material are made is welded to the outer rim of body 52 electrodes 54, so as to finish electric arc guiding and when transferred arc when the guide rail 32, the magnetic field that coil produces can evenly distribute.The axial length of camber member 58 is greater than the length of electrode 54, and extends up near the columnar portion of body 52.
The operation principle of arc control device 10 of the present invention is as follows:
In the off-position (see figure 1), movable contact 14 is inserted into fixedly in the contact device 16, and combines with copper body 52, is that the permanent electric stream of 630A passes through so that make rated current.Contact pressure is applied on a plurality of contact fingers 42 by spring 44, at this moment, because all electric currents are by the movable contact 14 of post 24, a plurality of contact finger 42 and pipe 20, so coil is not worked.Active force produces compensating action on two contacts closely, so that they keep closed condition.
If generation short circuit current, operating mechanism are upwards slided pipe 20, and movable contact 14 is extracted in the direction of electrode 54.In case movable contact 14 from electrode 54 separately, it and track 32 are separated a little end play.So electric arc is moved on the track 32, make electric current in coil 18 and a plurality of supporting arm 34, flow through, be accompanied by magnetic field 60 and form, cause that electric arc centers on track 32 high speed rotating.At this moment, flow in a plurality of contacts 42 without any electric current.
The rising of arc temperature makes the sulfur fluoride (SF in the housing 12 6) pressure of gas increases, subsequently, gas by pipe 20 in the allowance for expansion of gas tank (not shown).In case electric arc mat air-flow is sufficiently cooled, electric arc is promptly gone out by breath.
The joint operation of fixedly contact device 16 in coil 18 inner spaces as main contact and starting the arc contact makes that obtaining very compact arc control device with low manufacturing cost becomes possibility.
