In the description herein, particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

Fig. 1 and 2 are front sectional views of a dc contactor provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown, the dc contactor 300 includes: the device comprises a fixed contact 301, a permanent magnet 302, a movable contact 303, an iron core 305, a base 306, a metal bracket 307, a coil 308, an arc striking plate 309, a moving shaft 310, an elastic component 311 and a shell 312. Wherein, the two static contacts 301 pass through the base 306, and are nested and fixed on the base 306; the base 306 is stacked and fixed at the opening of the housing 312, and the housing 312 forms a sealing structure, so that the problem that the whole direct current contactor 300 is short-circuited and blocked due to the fact that external impurities, water and other pollutants enter the housing 312 is avoided.

The stationary contact 301 is a conductor made of a metal material, and can transmit an electrical signal after being connected to an external dc circuit. In the application, the two fixed contacts 301 are nested and fixed on the base 306, and the base 306 is stacked and fixed at the opening of the housing 312, so that the positions of the two fixed contacts 301 are not changed, and the two fixed contacts 301 can be contacted and disconnected when the following moving contact 303 moves up and down, thereby realizing the conduction and disconnection of a direct current circuit.

In this application, the shape of the stationary contact 301 is not limited to the rectangular parallelepiped shown in fig. 1-2, but may also be a cylinder, a cube, or the like, or even any irregular shape, which is not limited herein. The material used for the stationary contact 301 may be copper, metal with the same conductivity, and other materials such as metal alloy thereof, which is not limited herein.

The base 306 is generally a housing made of an insulating material, and is used for nesting and fixing the two fixed contacts 301, and is overlapped and fixed at the opening of the housing 312, so that a sealing structure is formed between the base 306 and the housing 312, and the problems that a circuit in the housing 312 is short-circuited and parts are blocked due to the fact that external pollutants enter the housing 312 are avoided; and the components protruding from the shell 312 in the shell 312 can be protected, so that the components protruding from the shell 312 in the shell 312 are prevented from being exposed to the outside and damaged.

As shown in fig. 1-2, the base 306 is rectangular. The upper surface of the base 306, that is, the surface on one side of the nested static contact 301, is provided with two through holes, and the shape of the through holes is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the static contact 301, so that the base 306 can be nested on the static contact 301 through the through holes, and the static contact 301 is fixed at the through holes of the base 306.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, a fastener 3061 is disposed at a partial edge or a periphery of the through hole of the base 306 for fixing the stationary contact 301. The snap 3061 is "L" shaped and includes a first portion of the snap 3061 perpendicular to the upper surface and a second portion of the snap 3061 parallel to the upper surface. One end of the first portion is connected to the edge of the through hole and the second portion is located on the side of the first portion facing away from the peripheral side of the base 306. When the through hole of the base 306 is nested on the static contact 301, the static contact 301 can be fixed in the through hole by squeezing the first part of the clamping piece 3061 to move towards the side surface close to the periphery of the base 306; when the static contact 301 continuously sinks into the through hole of the base 306 and reaches the second portion of the fastener 3061, the static contact 301 can be prevented from continuously sinking into the through hole of the base 306, and the static contact 301 is prevented from falling into the base 306.

The lower surface of the base 306, i.e. the surface opposite to the upper surface, is provided with a through hole, the shape of the through hole is the same as the shape of the opening of the casing 312, and the base 306 and the casing 312 form a closed space by connecting with the opening of the casing 312, so that external pollutants are prevented from entering the closed space. Alternatively, the connection between the lower surface of the base 306 and the housing 312 may be achieved by engaging with a fastener, fixing with a screw, and the like, which is not limited herein.

In this application, the shape of the base 306 is not limited to the rectangular parallelepiped structure shown in fig. 1-2, but may also be a cube, a cylinder, etc., and may even be any irregular shape, which is not limited herein. The material of the base 306 may be an insulating material such as plastic, high molecular polymer, etc., and the application is not limited herein.

Inside the housing 312, an electromagnetic assembly 304 is disposed, the electromagnetic assembly 304 including an iron core 305, a coil 308, a moving shaft 310, and an elastic assembly 311. One end of the moving shaft 310 is connected with the moving contact 303, and the other end is connected with the iron core 305; the elastic component 311 is nested on the moving shaft 310 and is close to one end of the moving contact 303; the coil 308 is disposed in the housing 312 and nested at an end of the movable shaft 310 near the plunger 305 and on the plunger 305. When the base 306 is connected to the housing 312, the movable contact 303 is located right below the two fixed contacts 301, and the two fixed contacts are in contact with each other.

The moving contact 303 is generally a conductor made of a metal material, and is made of the same material as the stationary contact 301, so that the contact made of one material is prevented from being oxidized due to the fact that two different materials are connected together to conduct electricity. Optionally, the contact area of the moving contact 303 close to the fixed contact is larger than the contact area of the fixed contact 301, and the moving contact can be connected to the two fixed contacts 301 at the same time, so that the two fixed contacts 301 connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the dc circuit are connected to realize the conduction of the dc circuit.

Optionally, a metal bracket 307 is provided at the outlet of the housing 312. The metal bracket 307 is provided with a through hole such that one end of the moving shaft 310 nested in the coil 308 is inserted into the through hole, and is nested in the coil 308, and supports the elastic member 311 on a surface of a side close to the base 306, providing a supporting force for the elastic member 311. Optionally, a connecting structure (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the metal bracket 307 near the outlet of the housing 312 for connecting the coil 308 to the metal bracket 307, so that the moving shaft 310 is more located in the coil 308, and the moving contact 303 is better pulled to move up and down.

When the coil 308 in the electromagnetic component 304 is not energized, an excitation magnetic field is not generated inside the coil 308, and the moving shaft 310 and the iron core 305 push the moving contact 303 to be in contact with the two fixed contacts 301 under the elastic force of the elastic component 311, so that the direct current circuit where the direct current contactor 300 is located is in a conducting state; when the coil 308 is energized, an excitation magnetic field is generated inside the coil 308, the iron core 305 is pushed to move from the outlet of the housing 312 to the inside of the housing 312, the moving contact 303 is pulled by the moving shaft 310, and the elastic component 311 is compressed, so that the moving contact 303 is separated from the two fixed contacts 301, and the direct-current circuit of the direct-current contactor 300 is in a disconnected state.

In the embodiment of the present application, the arc extinguishing structure of the dc contactor 300 includes two arc striking plates 309 and at least one pair of permanent magnets 302. The arc striking plate 309 is nested on the fixed contact 301 and located inside the base 306, the plurality of permanent magnets 302 are disposed on a side wall inside the base 306, and a magnetic field between each pair of permanent magnets 302 covers a gap between the fixed contact 301 and the movable contact 303.

The arc striking plate 309 is a high-temperature-resistant conductor, and may be made of a magnetically conductive low-carbon steel plate and other conductive materials, and functions to guide an arc generated when the static contact 301 and the moving contact 303 are disconnected or contacted to themselves, thereby preventing the static contact 301 and the moving contact 303 from being burned out by the arc. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the arc starting sheet 309 is cut and stamped from a plate to obtain a structure with a through hole in the middle, and the shape of the through hole on the arc starting sheet 309 is the same as the cross section of the stationary contact 301 or is larger than the cross section of the stationary contact 301, so that the arc starting sheet 309 can be nested on the stationary contact 309.

The arc striking plate 309 comprises two arc striking components (3091-1, 3091-2) and a plurality of fixing components 3092, the two arc striking components (3091-1, 3091-2) are positioned on the edge of the through hole on the arc striking plate 309, and when the arc striking plate 309 is nested on the static contact 301, a connecting line between the two arc striking components 3091 is parallel or vertical to a connecting line between the two static contacts 301; the plurality of fixing members 3092 are located around the arc ignition piece 309, and are used for fixing the arc ignition piece 309 on the base 306 when the arc ignition piece 309 is nested on the static contact 301, so as to prevent the arc ignition piece 309 from falling off from the static contact 301.

As shown in fig. 4, when the two arc ignition pieces 309 are respectively embedded in the two fixed contacts 301, the connecting line between the two arc ignition parts 3091 is perpendicular to the connecting line between the two fixed contacts 301, and at this time, only one pair of permanent magnets 302 is needed to be disposed on the connecting line between the two fixed contacts 301, and the difference between the magnetic field direction between the two permanent magnets 302 and the connecting line between the two arc ignition parts 3091 in each arc ignition piece is a set angle Φ. Preferably, the angle φ is set to 90, so that the magnetic field generated by the subsequent permanent magnets 302 most significantly changes the direction of the arc.

When the direction of the magnetic field between the two permanent magnets 302 is perpendicular to the connecting line between the two arc striking parts 3091 in each arc striking piece, the arc generated when the static contact 301 and the movable contact 303 are disconnected or contacted is generated, because the direction of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets 302 is perpendicular to the connecting line between the arc striking parts 3091, according to the left-hand rule principle, the direction of the lorentz force (magnetic blowing force) borne by the arc is approximately perpendicular to the connecting line between the centers of the two static contacts, the lorentz force (magnetic blowing force) can change the direction of the arc and the crawling path of the arc, namely the generated arc is blown out along the direction approximately perpendicular to the connecting line between the centers of the two static contacts 301 and is guided to the arc striking part 3091-1 or the arc striking part 3091-2, and therefore the static contact 301 and the movable contact 303 are prevented from being damaged by the arc.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, when the positive electrode of the current in the dc circuit is connected to the stationary contact 301-1 and the negative electrode is connected to the stationary contact 301-2, the current direction is: the fixed contact 301-1 → the movable contact 303 → the fixed contact 301-2. According to the left-right rule principle, the direction of the lorentz force (magnetic blow-out force) borne by the electric arc is perpendicular to the connecting line direction of the two static contacts 301 and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the two permanent magnets 302, and the direction points to the outer side of the plane shown in fig. 5, so that the direction of the electric arc generated when the static contacts 301 and the movable contacts 303 are disconnected or contacted is changed, the original direction of the movable contacts 303 pointing to the static contacts 301 (or the direction of the static contacts 301 pointing to the movable contacts 303 perpendicularly) is changed to the direction of the movable contacts 303 pointing to the outer sides of the static contacts 301, and the electric arc is guided to the arc striking component 3091-1 (or the arc striking component 3091-2) on one side of the arc striking plate 309.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the positive electrode of the current in the dc circuit is connected to the stationary contact 301-2 and the negative electrode is connected to the stationary contact 301-1, the current direction is: stationary contact 301-2 → movable contact 303 → stationary contact 301-1. According to the left-right rule principle, the direction of the lorentz force (magnetic blow-out force) borne by the arc is perpendicular to the connecting line direction of the two static contacts 301 and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the two permanent magnets 302, and the direction is directed to the inner side of the plane shown in fig. 6, so that the direction of the arc generated when the static contacts 301 and the movable contacts 303 are disconnected or contacted is changed, the original direction that the static contacts 301 are vertically directed to the movable contacts 303 (or the direction that the movable contacts 303 are vertically directed to the static contacts 301) is changed to the direction that the movable contacts 303 are directed to the outer sides of the static contacts 301, and the arc is guided to the arc striking component 3091-2 (or the arc striking component 3091-1) on the other side of the arc striking plate 309.

Referring to fig. 3, the arc striking component 3091 is bent by a set angle θ relative to the plane of the arc striking plate 309, such that the arc striking plate 309 is embedded on the static contact 301, and the tip of the arc striking component 3091 is bent to point to the direction of the movable contact 303, such that an arc generated when the static contact 301 and the movable contact 303 are disconnected or contacted can be guided to the tip of the arc striking component 3091. Optionally, the set angle θ is specifically determined according to the depth of the arc tab 309 nested in the stationary contact 301, and the deeper the arc tab 309 is nested in the stationary contact 301, that is, the farther the distance from the end of the stationary contact 301 close to the movable contact 303 is, the larger the set angle θ is. Preferably, the set angle θ is around 45 °.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, when the arc-striking plate 309 is nested on the fixed contact 301, the tip of the arc-striking component 3091 in the arc-striking plate 309 is connected to the fixed contact 301, so that the tip of the arc-striking component 3091 is maintained at the same potential as the fixed contact at any time. After an arc generated when the fixed contact 301 and the movable contact 303 are disconnected or in contact with each other, under the action of a lorentz force F (magnetic blow force), the arc root moves from the fixed contact 301 to the arc striking plate 309 in the magnetic blow direction, and the crawling path of the arc is lengthened, that is, the crawling path moves from the track 1 in fig. 7 to the track 2 or the track 3 in fig. 7, so that not only is a large amount of arc energy led away from the fixed contact 301, but also the crawling path of the arc is lengthened, and the arc is facilitated to be rapidly extinguished.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, the present application further provides a type of arc-striking plate 309, wherein the arc-striking plate 309 comprises two arc-striking parts 3091 and a plurality of fixing parts 3092, and when the arc-striking plate 309 shown in fig. 8 is nested on the fixed contact 301, as compared with the arc-striking plate 309 shown in fig. 3, the connecting line between the two arc-striking parts 3092 in each arc-striking plate 309 is parallel to the connecting line between the two fixed contacts 301, as shown in fig. 9.

Referring to fig. 9, when the arc tab 309 shown in fig. 8 is embedded in the stationary contact 301, two pairs of permanent magnets 302 are required to be respectively disposed on a connecting line perpendicular to the two stationary contacts 301, and the difference between the magnetic field direction of each pair of permanent magnets 302 and the connecting line between the two stationary contacts 301 is a set angle Φ. Preferably, the angle φ is set to 90, so that the magnetic field generated by the subsequent permanent magnets 302 most significantly changes the direction of the arc.

When the direction of the magnetic field between the two permanent magnets 302 is perpendicular to the connecting line between the two fixed contacts 301, the direction of the magnetic field between each pair of permanent magnets 302 is also perpendicular to the connecting line between the two arc striking components 3091 in each arc striking piece, so that the electric arc generated when the fixed contacts 301 and the movable contacts 303 are disconnected or contacted is convenient, because the direction of the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets 302 is perpendicular to the connecting line between the arc striking components 3091, according to the left-hand rule principle, the direction of the lorentz force (magnetic blowing force) borne by the electric arc is approximately perpendicular to the connecting line between the centers of the two fixed contacts, the lorentz force (magnetic blowing force) rotates the direction of the electric arc by a set angle, namely, the generated electric arc is blown out in the direction approximately perpendicular to the connecting line between the centers of the two fixed contacts 301, and is guided to the arc striking component 3091-1 or 3091-2, and the

movable contacts

301 and 303 are prevented from being damaged by the electric arc. For a specific implementation process, reference may be made to fig. 1 to fig. 8 and the corresponding technical solutions described above, which are not described herein again.

In the present application, the shape of the arc striking plate 309 is not limited to the structure shown in fig. 3 and 8, and may also be other structures, such as the outer edge shape is a circle, a square, etc., and may even be other irregular shapes, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiment of the application, at least one pair of permanent magnets are arranged around two fixed contacts, a gap between the two fixed contacts and the moving contact is covered by a magnetic field between each pair of permanent magnets, then an arc striking piece is respectively nested on the two fixed contacts, two arc striking parts are arranged on each arc striking piece, and a connecting line between the two arc striking parts on each arc striking piece is different from the magnetic field between each pair of permanent magnets by a set angle phi, so that an electric arc generated when the two fixed contacts and the moving contact are in contact or disconnected changes the direction of the electric arc under the action of Lorentz force (magnetic blowing force), and the electric arc is guided to the arc striking parts, thereby not only realizing that a large amount of electric arc energy is led away from the fixed contacts, protecting the fixed contacts and the moving contact from being burnt out, but also prolonging the creeping path of the electric arc and being beneficial to quick extinguishing of the electric arc.

In an embodiment of the present application, there is further provided a dc circuit, in which at least one dc contactor as described in fig. 3 to 9 and the corresponding protection schemes described above is connected.
