Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a static contact support, in particular to a static contact support for a small circuit breaker.
  • the current in a circuit under normal operating conditions can be established, carried and cut off by joining and separating a moving contact and a static contact.
  • a micro circuit breaker can also carry and cut off an abnormal current within a given time in specified scenarios, for example under abnormal operating conditions such as overload and open circuit.
  • a static contact is mounted on a static contact support.
  • the static contact support carries a very large current, and must also channel the arc produced between the moving and static contacts to an arc extinguishing system disposed in the circuit breaker.
  • Existing static contact supports are made of copper-plated steel or pure copper.
  • Static contact mounting supports of copper-plated steel have very good mechanical strength, but high resistivity, so generate a lot of heat when carrying a current.
  • Static mounting supports of pure copper have low resistivity, but also low mechanical strength and low magnetic permeability, so they are unable to extinguish the arc produced between the moving and static contacts.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a static contact support for a circuit breaker, which can help to extinguish an arc produced between a moving contact and a static contact in a circuit breaker.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker which uses the static contact support.
  • the present invention provides a static contact support for a circuit breaker, comprising a base layer and a reinforcing layer.
  • the base layer is for transferring current passing through the circuit breaker.
  • the reinforcing layer is superposed on the base layer, can provide the base layer with structural support, and can attract an arc produced between a moving contact and a static contact in the circuit breaker into an arc extinguishing mechanism of the circuit breaker.
  • an electrically conductive base layer on the one hand means that current flowing through the static contact support produces very little heat; on the other hand, good heat-conducting properties in the base layer enable the static contact support to cool the arc, helping to extinguish it.
  • the reinforcing layer has good mechanical strength and magnetic permeability. On the one hand, this means it can reinforce the mechanical strength of the base layer; on the other hand, the magnetically permeable reinforcing layer can channel the arc into the arc extinguishing mechanism of the circuit breaker, so it is extinguished quickly. Furthermore, being superposed, the base layer and reinforcing layer can be conveniently fitted into the circuit breaker.
  • the base layer is made of copper metal.
  • the reinforcing layer is made of steel.
  • the reinforcing layer and base layer are superposed by a process for combining two metals.
  • the ratio of the thickness of the base layer to the thickness of the reinforcing layer is 1 - 2.5 : 1.
  • the present invention also provides a circuit breaker, comprising a moving contact assembly and a static contact assembly.
  • the moving contact assembly comprises a moving contact support and a moving contact disposed on the moving contact support.
  • the static contact assembly comprises a static contact support as described above, and a static contact disposed on the static contact support and capable of contacting the moving contact.
  • the side of the static contact support which is close to the moving contact assembly is the base layer, while the side of the static contact support which is remote from the moving contact assembly is the reinforcing layer.
  • the static contact is connected to the base layer.
  • Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram intended to illustrate a schematic embodiment of a static contact support for a circuit breaker.
  • Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram intended to illustrate a schematic embodiment of a static contact support for a circuit breaker.
  • the circuit breaker comprises a static contact assembly 10 and a moving contact assembly 20.
  • the static contact assembly 10 comprises a static contact support 12 and a static contact 14.
  • the static contact 14 can be mounted on the static contact support 12.
  • the static contact support 12 comprises a base layer 122 and a reinforcing layer 124; the reinforcing layer 124 is superposed on the base layer 122.
  • the base layer 122 is made of a material with good heat-conducting and electricity-conducting properties, such as copper metal; the reinforcing layer 124 is made of a material with good mechanical strength and magnetic permeability, such as steel.
  • the reinforcing layer 124 is superposed on the base layer 122 by a process for combining two metals.
  • the moving contact assembly 20 comprises a moving contact support 22 and a moving contact 24; the moving contact 24 can be mounted on the moving contact support 22.
  • the side of the static contact support 12 which is close to the moving contact assembly 20 is the base layer 122, while the side of the static contact support which is remote from the moving contact assembly 20 is the reinforcing layer 124.
  • the static contact 14 which contacts the moving contact 24 is connected to the base layer 122.
  • the base layer has good electricity-conducting and heat-conducting properties. On the one hand, this means that current flowing through the static contact support produces very little heat; on the other hand, the good heat-conducting properties of the base layer enable the static contact support to cool the arc, helping to extinguish it.
  • the reinforcing layer has good mechanical strength and magnetic permeability. On the one hand, this means it can reinforce the mechanical strength of the base layer; on the other hand, the magnetically permeable reinforcing layer can channel the arc into the arc extinguishing mechanism of the circuit breaker, so it is extinguished quickly. Furthermore, being superposed, the base layer and reinforcing layer can be conveniently fitted into the circuit breaker.
  • the static contact support for a circuit breaker, by adjusting the ratio of the thicknesses of the base layer and reinforcing layer, it is possible to adjust the heat-conducting properties, electricity-conducting properties, mechanical strength and magnetic permeability of the static contact support correspondingly.
  • the base layer is thicker, the static contact support has better heat-conducting and electricity-conducting properties, whereas when the reinforcing layer is thicker, the static contact support has better mechanical strength and magnetic permeability.
  • the ratio of the thickness of the base layer to the thickness of the reinforcing layer could be 2.5 : 1 or 1 : 1.
