本申请要求于2020年06月24日提交中国专利局、申请号为202010591488.5、申请名称为“一种直流接触器及车辆”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电力技术领域,特别涉及一种直流接触器及车辆。
背景技术
接触器是利用较小的电流控制较大电流的“自动开关”在电路中起着自动调节、安全保护、转换电路等作用,直流接触器作为接触器的一个类型,主要应用于直流回路中。随着电力技术的不断发展,在电动汽车、工程机械、光能以及风能设备等行业中,带有直流接触器的直流电源系统得到广泛的应用,如在新能源汽车直流充电回路中,高压直流接触器成为该回路中重要的配电控制器件。
目前的直流快充回路中,无论是直流快充装置电源侧,还是车上配电盒(PDU)里面,基于汽车完成充电后,充电口/充电枪与带电电源支架必须有隔离断口的安规要求,在正极线路和负极线路上都会安装一个高压直流接触器,以控制线路的断开和闭合。
然而,在正负极线路上各安装高压直流接触器,大大增加了充电装置的体积,使充装置的结构复杂、体积臃肿,且制造成本较高。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种直流接触器及车辆,解决了现有的直流快充回路中正负极线路上各安装一个直流接触器,导致充电装置体积较大且制造成本较高的问题。
本申请实施例的第一方面提供一种直流接触器,包括壳体和设置在所述壳体内的两组触点组件,每组所述触点组件包括相连的两个动触头和与所述动触头相对的两个静触头,所述静触头延伸到所述壳体外;
所述壳体内具有灭弧腔体,所述灭弧腔体内设置有第一隔挡件,所述第一隔挡件将所述灭弧腔体分割成第一灭弧室和第二灭弧室,两组所述触点组件分别设置在所述第一灭弧室和所述第二灭弧室内;这样就将两组触点组件集成到一个灭弧腔体内,通过控制其中一组触点组件中动触头和静触头的通断即可控制正极线路的通断,控制其中另一组触点组件中动触头和静触头的通断即可控制负极线路的通断,也就是通过一个直流接触器即可满足正负两极线路的通断需求,无需在充电装置的正极线路和负极上各安装一个直流接触器,简化了充电装置的结构设计,显著缩小了充电装置的体积,同时降低了充电装置的成本。
还包括驱动系统,所述驱动系统与两组所述触点组件的所述动触头连接,所述驱 动系统用于驱动所述动触头朝向靠近或远离所述静触头的方向移动,以使所述动触头与所述静触头断开或闭合。使用单一的驱动系统驱动两组触点组件的动触头移动以实现正负极线路的通断,单驱动方式能够简化接触器的结构设计,减小接触器的尺寸,进而缩小充电装置的体积。同时,通过一个驱动系统驱动同时驱动两组触点组件,可以提高两组触点组件通断的同步性,提升充电装置的可靠性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一灭弧室外与两个所述动触头相邻的两侧分别设置有第一磁体和第二磁体,所述第一磁体和所述第二磁体相吸并形成第一磁场,且所述第一磁体和所述第二磁体与所述动触头和所述静触头之间的间隙相对;
所述第二灭弧室外与两个所述动触头相邻的两侧分别设置有第三磁体和第四磁体,所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体相吸并形成第二磁场,且所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体与所述动触头和所述静触头之间的间隙相对;
所述第一磁场和所述第二磁场的磁场方向与流经所述静触头和所述动触头的电流方向垂直,且所述第一磁场的磁场方向和所述第二磁场的磁场方向相反。第一灭弧室内的两个动触头和两个静触头之间的电弧,在第一磁场的磁场力作用下会被吹向第一灭弧室内,拉长电弧并在第一灭弧室内熄灭,第二灭弧室内的两个动触头和两个静触头之间的电弧,在第二磁场的磁场力作用下吹向第二灭弧室,拉长电弧并熄灭。而第一磁场和第二磁场方向与静触头和动触头间电流方向垂直,可以实现两路电弧的正向分断和反向分断,无极性要求,能够实现两组触点组件的无极性灭弧。另外,使第一磁场和第二磁场的磁场方向相反,在第一磁场和第二磁场的作用下可以使第一灭弧室内动触头和静触头的吹弧方向与第二灭弧室内的相邻的动触头和静触头的吹弧方向相同,从而使第一触点组件和第二触点组件产生的两路电弧在正向和反向分断时无相对方向运动,降低电弧碰撞、集聚以及短路的风险,有效提高分断性能。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,还包括安装支架,所述安装支架包括相对设置的第一支架和第二支架,所述第一支架和所述第二支架围设在所述壳体的外周上,所述第一磁体和所述第二磁体设置在所述第一支架的内侧壁上,所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体设置在所述第二支架的内侧壁上。这样第一磁体和第二磁体就通过第一支架设置在第一灭弧室外,第三磁体和第四磁体就通过第二支架设置在第二灭弧室外。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一支架和所述第二支架为U形支架,所述U形支架的侧壁上具有第一卡件,所述U形支架开口的端部具有朝向开口内凸起的第二卡件,所述第一磁体、所述第二磁体、所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体中的至少一个通过所述第一卡件和所述第二卡件设置在所述U形支架上。这样第一磁体、第二磁体、第三磁体和第四磁体就通过卡设的方式设置在第一支架和第二支架上,可便于装配与拆卸更换。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,还包括外壳,所述安装支架位于所述外壳内,所述第一磁体、所述第二磁体、所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体中的至少一个的侧边或拐角处具有缺口,所述外壳的内侧壁上具有与所述缺口对应的第一凸起。当第一磁体、第二磁体、第三磁体和第四磁体的磁极反装或错装时,由于缺口和第一凸起的设置,设置有第一磁体、第二磁体的第一支架和设置有第三磁体和第四磁体的第二支架就不能够装配到壳体内,可以有效避免第一磁体、第二磁体、第三磁体和第四磁体 反装或错位等问题,提高装配的准确性和装配效率。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一卡件与所述动触头相邻,所述外壳与所述静触头相邻的一端内壁上具有第二凸起,所述第一磁体、所述第二磁体、所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体中的至少一个的侧壁与所述第二凸起的侧壁抵接。第一卡件位于U形支架靠近动触头的一端的外侧壁上,第一磁体、第二磁体、第三磁体和第四磁体通过第一卡件设置在U形支架上时,磁体靠近静触头的一侧未被限位,存在滑落的风险,通过第二凸起可以进一步限定磁体的位置,避免磁体从U形支架上脱落,提高了磁体的设置稳定性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一支架和所述第二支架为具有导磁性能的导磁板。第一支架和第二支架围设在壳体的外周上,使第一支架和第二支架为导磁板,可以对外部磁场起到屏蔽作用,以提高第一灭弧室和第二灭弧室内的灭弧性能,提高直流接触器的分断性能。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一磁体、所述第二磁体、所述第三磁体和所述第四磁体为永磁体。这样就具有较强的磁性且不易退磁,可以保证第一磁场和第二磁场的磁场力,从而保证吹弧灭弧效果,且具有较长的使用寿命,有助于提高直流接触器的可靠性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,还包括底板,所述壳体设置在所述底板上,所述壳体与所述底板围成所述灭弧腔体。底板和壳体可以围成密封的灭弧腔体,底板也可以是具有导磁性能的导磁板,可以达到对外界磁场屏蔽的目的。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述壳体与所述底板通过连接件连接。与将壳体与底板直接连接相比,通过连接件实现连接,可以减少在高温情况下壳体与底板变形而分裂脱落等问题的发生,提高直流接触器的可靠性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一隔挡件朝向所述第一灭弧室的侧壁上具有第三凸起,所述第一隔挡件朝向所述第二灭弧室的侧壁上具有第四凸起。第三凸起可以增加第一隔挡件朝向第一灭弧室的侧壁的长度,也就增大了第一动触头和第一静触头与第二动触头和第二静触头之间的爬电距离,有助于电弧的及时熄灭,节省灭弧所需空间,进一步提高直流接触器的分断性能,并有助于缩小直流接触器的体积。第四凸起可以增加第一隔挡件朝向第二灭弧室的侧壁的长度,增大第三动触头和第三静触头与第四动触头和第四静触头之间的爬电距离,有助于电弧的及时熄灭,节省灭弧所需空间,进一步提高直流接触器的分断性能。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述第一灭弧室与所述第一隔挡件相对的一侧侧壁上具有第五凸起,所述第二灭弧室与所述第一隔挡件相对的一侧侧壁上具有第六凸起。第五凸起可以增加第一灭弧室与第一隔挡件相对一侧侧壁的长度,增大第一动触头和第一静触头与第二动触头和第二静触头之间的爬电距离,有助于电弧的及时熄灭,节省灭弧所需空间,进一步提高直流接触器的分断性能。第六凸起可以增加第二灭弧室与第一隔挡件相对一侧侧壁的长度,增大了第三动触头和第三静触头与第四动触头和第四静触头之间的爬电距离,有助于电弧的及时熄灭,节省灭弧所需空间,进一步提高直流接触器的分断性能。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述驱动系统包括驱动组件和移动组件, 所述移动组件包括支撑杆和与所述支撑杆连接的移动板,所述移动板位于所述灭弧腔体内,且两组所述触点组件的所述动触头设置在所述移动板上;
所述驱动组件用于驱动所述移动组件移动以带动所述动触头移动,且当所述动触头与所述静触头断开时,所述第一隔挡件与所述移动板之间具有间隙。移动板为具有一定面积的板状结构,与现有的将动触头设置在连接杆上相比,移动板可以提供更高的强度,具有更高的机械强度,有助于提高直流接触器的可靠性。另外,第一隔挡件与移动板之间的间隙为移动板提供了活动空间,保证移动板可以移动从而带动动触头移动。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述移动板上具有第二隔挡件,所述第二隔挡件位于所述间隙的外侧,所述第二隔挡件朝向所述第一隔挡件延伸,且所述第二隔挡件与所述第一隔挡件至少部分重叠。具体的,第二隔挡件朝向第一隔挡件的一端与第一隔挡件朝向第二隔挡件的一端部分重叠,使第二隔挡件可以遮盖该间隙,这样就进一步提高了第一灭弧室和第二灭弧室之间的密闭性,降低第一灭弧室和第二灭弧室内的电弧发生互串的几率,提高了直流接触器的分断性能。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述移动板上设置有凹槽,所述凹槽的侧壁形成所述第二隔挡件,所述第一隔挡件伸入所述凹槽内。凹槽具有两个侧壁和一个连接两个侧壁的底壁,凹槽的两个侧壁作为两个第二隔挡件,与第一隔挡件共同实现对第一灭弧室和第二灭弧室的分离隔绝,同时凹槽的设置还可以增大第一触点组件和第二触点组件之间的爬电距离,有助于电弧的及时熄灭,提高直流接触器的分断性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述移动板上与两个所述动触头相对的位置处分别设置有所述第二隔挡件。在动触头和静触头相对的位置处会产生电弧,而在两个动触头连接的位置处电弧的影响较小,可以仅在移动板上与两个动触头相对的位置处分别设置有第二隔挡件,而在与动触头连接处相对的位置可以不设置第二隔挡件,这样能够简化移动组件的结构,同时也能够降低成本。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述驱动系统还包括驱动室,所述驱动组件位于所述驱动室内,所述支撑杆一端位于所述驱动室内,所述支撑杆的另一端延伸到所述灭弧腔体内。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述触点组件还包括动触桥和弹性件,两个所述动触头通过所述动触桥连接,所述弹性件位于所述动触桥和所述移动板之间。当移动板移动并带动动触头朝向靠近静触头的方向移动时,首先动触头会和静触头抵接接触,移动板继续移动,就会压缩位于移动板和动触桥之间的弹性件,压缩的弹性件就会给动触头一个推动力,以使动触头抵压在静触头上,保证了动触头和静触头之间的可靠接触,提高动触头和静触头闭合连接的稳定性。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,所述触点组件还包括U形的固定支架,所述动触桥和所述弹性件位于所述固定支架内,所述固定支架的开口端设置在所述移动板上。这样动触桥和弹性件就通过固定支架设置在移动板上,动触头以及动触桥上无需开设轴孔,避免了对触点组件导电面积的影响,保证了触点组件的导电性能,有助于提升触点组件对电路的承载能力。
本申请实施例的第二方面提供一种车辆,至少包括上述任一所述的直流接触器。 该直流接触器通过单驱动的方式,在一个灭弧腔体内集成了两组触点组件,实现接触器与正负极线路的双联,简化了接触器的结构,且无需在正负极线路各设置一个接触器,显著的减小了充电装置的体积以及制造成本,实现了小型化高负载,有助于实现车辆的低成本和轻量化需求。

具体实施方式
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请,下面将结合附图对本申请实施例的实施方式进行详细描述。
当前电动车辆作为环保节能的交通工具,应用越来越广泛,与之配套的快充接触器也得到广泛的应用,直流接触器已成为电动车辆直流充电回路中重要的配电控制器件。在目前的直流快充回路中,以电动汽车与直流快充装置为例,参见图1所示,电动汽车内设置有PDU 500,以及与PDU 500连接的高压电池包200,电动汽车的充电装置具有两个接线端:PIN1和PIN2,其中PIN1为正极端子,PIN2为负极端子,PIN1 端子通过一个直流接触器400与PDU 500连接,PDU 500再与高压电池包200的正极连接,PIN2端子通过一个直流接触器400与高压电池包200的负极连接。在使用时,通过控制两个直流接触器的闭合或断开来控制直流快充装置300与高压电池包200的连接。在上述的直流快充回路中,需要在PIN1端子以及PIN2端子处分别连接一个直流接触器,导致整个充电装置体积较大,占用空间较大,且成本较高。另外,两个直流接触器分别设置也很难做到正负极线路同步的断开或闭合。
为降低充电装置的体积以及成本,现有技术中也有将两个接触器进行集成化设计,如采用两个单体接触器独立控制正负两极线路,然后将两个单体接触器一体封装集成在一起,具体的,该接触器包括有两个腔体,每个腔体内有一个接触器,每个接触器包括有一个动触头、一个静触头和一电磁驱动机构,采用一组控制线同时控制两个电磁驱动机构来驱动动触头和静触头的通断,然而接触器的体积仍较大,有待进一步缩小,且制造成本也较高,不能满足新能源车辆低成本和轻量化的需求。
基于上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供一种直流接触器,该直流接触器可以应用于电器连接,如电动汽车与直流快充装置的连接,或者也可以是其他电气柜与电气设备之间的连接。该直流接触器采用单驱动方式,在一个灭弧腔体中形成两个灭弧室以容纳两组触点组件,实现接触器与正负极线路的双联,简化了直流接触器的结构,且无需在正负极线路各设置一个接触器,显著的减小了充电装置的体积并降低了成本。
下面以该直流接触器应用于电动汽车与直流快充装置的连接为例,对该直流接触器具体说明。
参见图2所示,本申请提供的一种直流接触器100,包括壳体10和设置在壳体10内的两个触点组件11,每个触点组件11包括相连的两个动触头111,以及与两个动触头111相对的两个静触头112,静触头112延伸到壳体10外,以便于静触头112与正极线路或负极线路连接。
具体的,参见图3所示,在壳体10内的两组触点组件11分别为第一触点组件11a和第二触点组件11b,第一触点组件11a包括第一动触头111a和与第一动触头111a相连的第二动触头111b,以及分别与第一动触头111a和第二动触头111b相对的第一静触头112a和第二静触头112b。第二触点组件11b包括第三动触头111c和与第三动触头111c相连的第四动触头111d,以及分别与第三动触头111c和第四动触头111d相对的第三静触头112c和第四静触头112d,其中,第一触点组件11a和第二触点组件11b并列,且第一动触头111a和第三动触头111c相邻,第二动触头111b和第四动触头111d相邻设置。
在壳体10上可以设置四个连接排,分别为第一连接排A1,第二连接排A2,第三连接排A3和第四连接排A4。其中,第一连接排A1和第二连接排A2分别与第一静触头112a和第二静触头112b连接,第三连接排B1和第四连接排B2分别与第三静触头112c和第四静触头112d连接。在壳体10上还可以设置第五连接排C1和第六连接排C2,以实现对驱动系统50的电性连接。
将直流接触器100应用到直流快充回路中时,第一连接排A1可以连接PIN1端,第三连接排B1可以连接PIN2端,第二连接排A2与高压电池包的正极连接,第四连接排B2与高压电池包的负极连接,即第一连接排A1和第二连接排A2为一正极电路, 第三连接排B1和第四连接排B2为一负极电路,当第一动触头111a和第一静触头112a以及第二动触头111b和第二静触头112b电接触时,就使第一连接排A1和第二连接排A2连通。电流从PIN1端经过第一连接排A1之后依次经过第一静触头112a、第一动触头111a、第二动触头111b、第二静触头112b和第二连接排A2后流入高压电池包的正极。
当第三动触头111c和第三静触头112c以及第四动触头111d和第四静触头112d电接触时,就使第三连接排B1与第四连接排B2连通,电流从高压电池包的正极经过高压电池包的负极流入第四连接排B2中,然后依次经过第四静触头112d、第四动触头111d、第三动触头111c、第三静触头112c和第三连接排B1后流入PIN2端形成回路。控制第一触点组件11a中动触头与静触头的通断即可控制正极线路的通断,控制第二触点组件11b中动触头与静触头的通断即可控制负极线路的通断。
即在本申请实施例中,通过一个直流接触器100即可满足正负两极线路的通断需求,无需在充电装置的正极线路和负极上各安装一个直流接触器,简化了充电装置的结构设计,显著缩小了充电装置的体积,同时降低了充电装置的成本。
其中,在本申请实施例中,第一连接排A1也可以连接PIN2端,第三连接排B1可以连接PIN1端,将第一连接排A1连接PIN1端时触点组件11内动触头111和静触头112的分断作为正向分断,将第一连接排A1连接PIN2端时触点组件11内动触头111和静触头112的分断作为反向分断。
具体的,参见图3所示,壳体10内具有灭弧腔体12,灭弧腔体12内设置有第一隔挡件13,如图2所示,第一隔挡件13将灭弧腔体12分割成第一灭弧室121和第二灭弧室122,两组触点组件11分别设置在第一灭弧室121和第二灭弧室122内。触点组件11中的动触头111和静触头112在通断的过程中会产生电弧,第一隔挡件13具有隔挡第一灭弧室121和第二灭弧室122的作用,可阻挡电弧在两个灭弧室之间的互串,降低短路的风险,提高直流接触器100的分断性能。

具体的,参见图8所示,当动触头111和静触头112通断时,会在两者通断的间隙处产生电弧,而电弧在第一磁场的磁场力的作用下就会被吹向第一灭弧室121内,拉长电弧并使电弧在第一灭弧室121内熄灭。
其中,第一磁场的磁场方向与流经静触头112和动触头111的电流方向垂直,参见图8所示,以第一连接排A1与PIN1端连接为例,则流经第一静触头112a和第一动触头111a的电流方向为从第一静触头112a指向第一动触头111a的方向,如图8中所示的电流方向朝外(朝向纸张外),流经第二静触头112b和第二动触头111b的电流朝内(朝向纸张内),第一磁体14靠近第一动触头111a的一端为S极,第二磁体15靠近第二动触头111b的一端为N极,即第一磁场方向为如图8中所示的向上的方向,由第二磁体15指向第一磁体14,根据左手定则可知,第一动触头111a和第一静触头112a之间的电弧就会在磁场力的作用下吹向如图8中所示的左侧(即图中a的方向),第二动触头111b和第二静触头112b之间的电弧会在磁场力的作用下吹向右侧(即图中b的方向),从而将电弧吹入第一灭弧腔室内并熄灭。

第一连接排A1可以与PIN2端连接,则流经第一静触头112a和第一动触头111a的电流方向为从第一动触头111a指向第一静触头112a的方向,如图9中的电流方向朝内,流经第二静触头112b和第二动触头111b的电流朝外,第一磁场方向仍向上由第二磁体15指向第一磁体14,根据左手定则可知,第一动触头111a和第一静触头112a之间的电弧会在磁场力的作用下吹向右侧(即图中a的方向),第二动触头111b和第二静触头112b之间的电弧会吹向左侧(即图中b的方向),实现电弧吹入第一灭弧室 121中以熄灭电弧。

在本申请实施例中,第一磁场的磁场方向和第二磁场的磁场方向相反,在第一磁场和第二磁场的作用下可以使第一灭弧室121内的动触头111和静触头112的吹弧方向与第二灭弧室122内的相邻的动触头111和静触头112的吹弧方向相同,如第一动触头111a和第一静触头111b之间的吹弧方向与第三动触头111c和第三静触头112c之间的吹弧方向相同,第二动触头111b和第二静触头112b之间的吹弧方向与第四动触头111d和第四静触头112d之间的吹弧方向相同,从而使第一触点组件11a和第二触点组件11b产生的两路电弧在正向和反向分断时无相对方向运动,降低电弧碰撞、集聚以及短路的风险,有效提高分断性能。

由于第一隔挡件13与移动板522之间具有间隙,第一灭弧室121或第二灭弧室122其中一个内产生的电弧可能会通过该间隙串到其中另一个内,发生电弧的集聚、短路等问题。因此,在本申请实施例中,参见图6所示,在移动板522上具有第二隔挡件5221,第二隔挡件5221位于间隙的外侧,以保证第二隔挡件5221不影响移动板522的活动。第二隔挡件5221朝向第一隔挡件13延伸,且第二隔挡件5221与第一隔挡件13至少部分重叠,具体的,第二隔挡件5221朝向第一隔挡件13的一端与第一隔挡件13朝向第二隔挡件5221的一端部分重叠,使第二隔挡件5221可以遮盖该间隙,这样就进一步提高了第一灭弧室121和第二灭弧室122之间的密闭性,进一步降低了第一灭弧室121和第二灭弧室122内的电弧发生互串的几率,提高了直流接触器100的分断性能。
其中,以第一隔挡件13所在的平面为第一平面,第二隔挡件5221与第一隔挡件13至少部分重叠具体指,第二隔挡件5221在第一平面内的投影与第一隔挡件13至少部分重叠。

其中,凹槽5222可以与移动板522一体成型,或者凹槽5222可以是分体成型后设置在移动板522上,凹槽5222与移动板522的设置方式可以是卡设、粘接、焊接以及螺纹紧固等。
在本申请实施例中,在动触头111与静触头112相对的位置处会产生电弧,而在两个动触头111连接的位置处电弧的影响较小,因此,参见图5所示,可以仅在移动板522上与两个动触头111相对的位置处分别设置有第二隔挡件5221,而在与动触头111连接处相对的位置可以不设置第二隔挡件5221,这样能够简化移动组件52的结构,同时也能够降低成本。

在直流接触器100使用时,电磁线圈514通电,静铁芯511和动铁芯512相互吸引,而静铁芯511固定在驱动室53内,则动铁芯512就会克服复位弹簧513的弹性力朝向静铁芯511移动,同时带动支撑杆521移动,支撑杆521带动移动板522移动,进而带动移动板522上的动触头111朝向靠近静触头112的方向移动,并使动触头111和静触头112电接触,实现静触头112和动触头111的闭合。在电磁线圈514断电时,静铁芯511和动铁芯512间不存在磁吸力,在复位弹簧513的作用下动铁芯512就会 产生背离静铁芯511的移动,带动支撑杆521和移动板522移动,进而带动动触头111朝向远离静触头112的方向移动,使动触头111和静触头112分离,实现动触头111和静触头112的断开。

在现有的接触器中,动触头111和弹性件114采用轴孔套设的方式连接,具体的,动触头111与移动组件52之间具有连杆,连杆的一端穿过动触头111并与动触头111固定,连杆的另一端与移动组件52固定连接,弹性件114套设在连杆上,而采用这种轴孔套设的方式,需在动触头111上开孔,减小了动触头111的导电面积,降低导电能力。
而在本申请中,参见图12所示,触点组件11还可以包括U形的固定支架115,动触桥113和弹性件114位于固定支架115内,弹性件114位于动触桥113和移动板522之间,固定支架115的开口端设置在移动板522上,这样动触桥113和弹性件114就通过固定支架115设置在移动板522上,动触头111以及动触桥113上无需开设轴孔,避免了对触点组件11导电面积的影响,保证了触点组件11的导电性能,有助于提升触点组件11对电路的承载能力。
其中,为进一步稳固弹性件114,可以使移动板522和动触桥113上与弹性件114对应的位置具有第七凸起(未示出),弹性件114的两端分别套设在该第七凸起的外周上,第七凸起可以对弹性件114起到限位以及导向的作用,避免弹性件114从动触桥113和移动板522之间滑落,还可避免弹性件114发生扭曲而无法压缩等现象。
固定支架115可以通过粘接、焊接、卡接以及螺纹连接等方式设置在移动板522上,具体的,在本申请实施例中,参见图12所示,在移动板522上可以具有凸出于移动板522所在平面的凸台5223,该凸台5223用于设置触点组件11,在该凸台5223的相对两个侧壁上可以具有凸起的第三卡件5224,在固定支架115的开口端可以具有能够与第三卡件5224配合的卡槽(未示出),固定支架115的开口端可以通过卡槽与第三卡件5224的配合实现与移动板522的卡合固定,从而通过固定支架115将动触头111和弹性件114固定在移动板522上。
本申请实施例还提供一种车辆,至少包括上述任一的直流接触器100,该车辆可以为电动车/电动车辆(EV)、纯电动车辆(PEV/BEV)、混合动力车辆(HEV)、增程式电动车辆(REEV)、插电式混合动力车辆(PHEV)、新能源车辆(New Energy Vehicle)等。
该车辆还可以包括车体,和设置在车体上的配电盒,配电盒与该直流接触器100连接。该车辆还可以包括车轮、电机和传动部件等。
本申请实施例提供的一种车辆,通过包括上述直流接触器100,该直流接触器100通过单驱动的方式,在一个灭弧腔体内集成了两组触点组件,实现接触器与正负极线路的双联,简化了接触器的结构,且无需在正负极线路各设置一个接触器,显著的减小了充电装置的体积以及制造成本,实现了小型化高负载,有助于实现车辆的低成本和轻量化需求。
