Technical field
The utility model relates to the contactor field, in particular to A.C. contactor, relates in particular to the contactor with 7 to 15 amperes of rated operational currents.
Background technology
A.C. contactor is widely used in the for example break-make of motor of power equipment; It is usually mainly by contactor housing, the electromagnetic mechanism that comprises coil, static iron core and moving iron core (armature) and contact unit (comprising main contact unit and the optional auxiliary contact unit of establishing) and some other parts known in the art or structure (for example arc extinguishing structure, antagonistic spring and contact pressure spring etc.) formation; Its basic functional principle is through coil electricity; Thereby between static iron core and armature, produce electromagnetic attraction; The spring force that makes armature overcome antagonistic spring thus is attracted near also final and contacts static iron core, thereby the contact unit of contactor engages, and is perhaps opposite.
In existing design, design the width that A.C. contactor has the multiple of 9mm usually, be typically, the contactor of existing 38A and following amperage all has about 45mm or bigger width basically.Although have these contactors of 45mm width usually favorable applicability can be provided, it has significant disadvantages, and it is excessive for example to take up an area of the space, and especially width is excessive, and this is very unfavorable to more existing very compact installation occasion.To this, the inventor reverses existing custom and overcomes the multiple technologies difficulty, is desirable to provide the contactor with 7 to 15 ampere rated operational currents of a kind of width less than 45mm, and such contactor has advantages such as the installing space of saving, appearance looks elegant.
Summary of the invention
For this reason, the utility model provides a kind of contactor with 7 to 15 amperes of rated operational currents.It comprises: the contactor housing; Be accommodated in the electromagnetic mechanism in this contactor housing, this electromagnetic mechanism has coil, static iron core and is positioned at the top and the vertical isolated moving iron core of this static iron core; Contact unit with moving contact and fixed contact; Should be installed in such a way on this supporter with this moving contact by moving iron core; This moving contact can correspondingly engage or break away from this fixed contact with the motion of this moving iron core; Wherein, the vertical interval between this moving iron core and this static iron core promptly open distance for≤3.5mm and>=2mm
Preferably, moving iron core height is less than the static iron core height, and for example its aspect ratio is less than about 0.9.
Its technique effect is: through the setting of the utility model, except obtaining the effect that width significantly reduces, also have numerous other advantages according to 7 to 15 amperes the little amperage rated operational current contactor of the utility model.
In the prior art, the impulsive force when people can hope to reduce the adhesive of sound iron core usually also hopes in moving iron core attracting process, to have advantages of higher stability simultaneously.The impulsive force that produces when reducing adhesive is iron core weight to be compared as far as possible with static iron core weight reduce according to an important means of prior art.And in order in attracting process, to have higher adhesive stability, an important way is under the situation of other conditions permit, to improve the electromagnetic attraction of electromagnetic mechanism as far as possible.Now, research and propose, for the multiple factor of sound iron core; The aspect ratio of sound iron core has the greatest impact for electromagnetic attraction, if sound iron core aspect ratio is more little, then electromagnetic attraction reduces manyly more; And when sound iron core height is 1:1 basically; Under the constant situation of other condition, this electromagnetic mechanism for the utilization of magnetic flux near maximum, thereby electromagnetic attraction is also near maximum; And along with sound iron core aspect ratio further increases, electromagnetic attraction can not enlarge markedly (than sound iron core aspect ratio in 1 increase when following) again even possibly reduce.In addition, more existing researchs also show, along with the weight increase of moving iron core, also can cause electromagnetic attraction to increase, but its influence to electromagnetic attraction will be significantly less than aspect ratios.
In addition, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that under the constant situation of other factors that along with the increase of opening distance, electromagnetic attraction can corresponding reducing.Therefore; In the prior art for as far as possible impulsive force and stable aspect obtain preferably compromise; Usually way when making that sound iron core aspect ratio keeps the basic 1:1 of being (even the aspect ratio of sound iron core is bigger), reduces moving iron core weight often as far as possible, for example in moving iron core, forms otch or excision portion etc.; And set usually its sound iron core open the distance usually greater than 5mm, more commonly in the scope of 6mm-7mm.
The inventor unexpectedly finds, if open distance greater than about 3.5mm, then for the little electromagnetic mechanism of moving iron core aspect ratio static iron core height; Electromagnetic attraction can sharply reduce; Aspect ratio is roughly the electromagnetic mechanism of 1:1, this situation then do not occur, perhaps this in confused situation showing; And if open distance≤about 3.5mm, the electromagnetic system that then aspect ratio is little is roughly 1:1 with regard to electromagnetic attraction and Yan Buhui is little too many than aspect ratio.
To this, the utility model is set and to be opened distance≤about 3.5mm and moving iron core height less than the static iron core height between moving iron core and this static iron core, and its aspect ratio is less than about 0.9; Thus; Can and provide under the situation of satisfactory rated operational current at routine work environment (for example non-heavily loaded environment), produce gratifying adhesive stability, can also significantly alleviate moving iron core weight simultaneously; Thereby advantageously reduce the adhesive impulsive force, increase the service life.Further, owing to open significantly reducing of distance, the electromagnetic system of contactor of the present invention can have small cross sectional, thereby narrower width can be set.In addition; Because moving iron core weight significantly reduces than prior art, thereby can make the multiple component size reduction that comprises the reaction force spring, even and under the electromagnetic attraction that reduces (for example approximately below the 6N; Prior art is typically about 8-11N); Good adhesive stability and the adhesive action of accelerating still can be provided, help reducing adhesive and impact, and help heat radiation.
Be that moving iron core height combines the utility model of the above-mentioned further feature of opening distance and the utility model to set the A.C. contactor that is applicable to little ampere of rated operational current with 7-15 ampere less than the static iron core height what this need further specify.And for more large-scale A.C. contactor, the A.C. contactor of 18-40 ampere for example, such setting is not too suitable usually; Its reason possibly be, because its amperage is bigger, in order to guarantee safe and stable operation; So it is also bigger that the minimum that correspondingly need be provided with is opened distance, need greater than 4.5mm usually, even more than the 6mm; If this open distance down again regulation move the iron core height less than the static iron core height, may bring the problem of electromagnetic attraction excessive attenuation as described above.
In addition, as the preferred version of the utility model, the ratio that the utility model has been set moving iron core height and static iron core height meticulously in the scope of about 0.4-about 0.6, more preferably about 11/20.Through setting like this, can more advantageously realize the contactor that width reduces, and contactor also have good, satisfactory at least performance.Aspect ratio preferably should be not too small, in order to avoid cause the required electromagnetic attraction that provides excessively to reduce, thereby system can not work, perhaps for needed electromagnetic attraction is provided, opens distance and will choose very for a short time, possibly influence the effect that dynamic/static contact is broken electric arc.Above-mentioned aspect ratio is preferably not excessive yet, otherwise for the DeGrain that reduces the impact aspect.
