Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种低压开关的触头系统,特别是具有快速限流和灭弧性能的塑壳断路器的触头系统。The invention relates to a contact system of a low-voltage switch, in particular to a contact system of a molded case circuit breaker with fast current limiting and arc extinguishing performance.
背景技术 Background technique
触头系统是低压开关设备必不可少的重要部件,其限流性能和灭弧性能是开关设备的重要性能指标,尤其是在断路器中,对该指标的要求更为突出,而要提升该项指标,关键在于加快动、静触头的分断速度,拉大动、静触头的开距,提高灭弧系统的灭弧效率。The contact system is an essential and important part of low-voltage switchgear. Its current limiting performance and arc extinguishing performance are important performance indicators of switchgear, especially in circuit breakers. The requirements for this indicator are more prominent, and to improve this The key is to speed up the breaking speed of the dynamic and static contacts, increase the opening distance of the dynamic and static contacts, and improve the arc extinguishing efficiency of the arc extinguishing system.
常见的限流触头系统为静触头可排斥式,在通过短路电流时,在电磁排斥力的作用下能够加速动触头的打开,同时开距增大,将电弧拉长,电弧电压被提升,提高了限流性能。由于该系统为静触头通过轴固定在一支架上,该支架又通过螺钉固定在基座上,联结板与静触头通过软联结相连,支架的高度对静触头的偏转行程起决定作用,因此为了获得较好的限流效果,支架的高度较高,从而产品的外形也较高,生产成本提高。The common current-limiting contact system is the static contact repulsive type. When the short-circuit current passes, the opening of the moving contact can be accelerated under the action of electromagnetic repulsion, and the opening distance increases at the same time, the arc is elongated, and the arc voltage is reduced. Boost to improve current limiting performance. In this system, the static contact is fixed on a bracket through a shaft, and the bracket is fixed on the base by screws, and the connecting plate and the static contact are connected through a soft connection. The height of the bracket plays a decisive role in the deflection stroke of the static contact. , so in order to obtain a better current limiting effect, the height of the bracket is higher, so that the shape of the product is also higher, and the production cost is increased.
日本三菱公司的冲击狭窄通道加速式(ISTAC)分断技术,公开了一种三力合成的触头系统,能够加速动触头的打开,较早引出电弧,提升电弧电压,提高限流性能。已有的三力合成的触头系统为以下结构形式。Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation's Impulse Narrow Aisle Accelerated (ISTAC) breaking technology discloses a three-force combined contact system, which can accelerate the opening of the moving contact, lead out the arc earlier, increase the arc voltage, and improve the current limiting performance. The existing three-force combined contact system has the following structural forms.
如申请号为99805439.9的发明专利,该已有技术的断路器的触头系统的原理是利用以下三力加快动触头的分断速度:静触头连接板上的电流方向与动触头上的电流方向相同所产生的对动触头的电磁吸引力;静触头上电流方向与动触头上电流方向相反所产生的对动触头的电磁排斥力;分断短路电流时高分子材料产生优质灭弧气体,该气体与周围空气膨胀在狭窄空间内所产的对动触头的气体压力。由于动触头必须以摆动方式与静触头分/合,所以该触头系统的触头连接板被开了一条通槽,以使动触头通过该槽伸入到静触头连接板的静触点处,实现动、静触头之间的分/合。为此,静触头连接板上的电流因开槽被分成了两路,每路电流都处于动触头的斜上方,它们均不在动触头摆动轨迹的延伸面上,即每路电流对于动触头的电磁吸引力的方向与动触头摆动轨迹的延伸面之间存在较大的夹角。由于存在该夹角,所以静触头连接板上的电流所产生的对于动触头的电磁吸引力,实际上是每路电流对于动触头的电磁吸引力的分力,该分力等于所述电磁吸引力与所述夹角的余弦之积,导致它们之间的电磁吸引力很小。Such as the patent of invention whose application number is 99805439.9, the principle of the contact system of this prior art circuit breaker is to utilize the following three forces to accelerate the breaking speed of the moving contact: the direction of the current on the connecting plate of the static contact and the direction of the current on the moving contact The electromagnetic attraction to the moving contact produced by the same current direction; the electromagnetic repulsion to the moving contact produced by the opposite direction of the current on the static contact and the current on the moving contact; the polymer material produces high quality when breaking the short-circuit current. Arc extinguishing gas, the gas pressure on the moving contact produced by the expansion of the gas and the surrounding air in a narrow space. Since the moving contact must be opened/closed with the static contact in a swinging manner, a through slot is opened in the contact connecting plate of the contact system, so that the moving contact can extend into the fixed contact connecting plate through the slot. At the static contact, the opening/closing between the dynamic and static contacts is realized. For this reason, the current on the connecting plate of the static contact is divided into two paths due to slotting, each path of current is on the oblique top of the moving contact, and they are not on the extension surface of the swing track of the moving contact, that is, each path of current is for There is a relatively large angle between the direction of the electromagnetic attraction force of the moving contact and the extension surface of the swinging track of the moving contact. Due to the existence of this angle, the electromagnetic attraction force on the moving contact generated by the current on the connecting plate of the static contact is actually the component force of the electromagnetic attraction force of each current on the moving contact, and the component force is equal to the The product of the electromagnetic attraction force and the cosine of the included angle causes the electromagnetic attraction force between them to be very small.
从上述形式的三力合成触头系统的结构原理可见,该现有技术的触头系统存在以下三个主要缺陷。It can be seen from the structural principle of the above-mentioned three-force combined contact system that the contact system in the prior art has the following three main defects.
首先是所述的连接板上被分成两路的电流与动触头上的电流所形成的电磁力很小,所述的电磁力的方向与动触头摆动轨迹的延伸面之间存在较大的夹角,所以连接板上的电流对于动触头的电磁吸引力很小,其效果并不明显,然而为获得该力,必需加大加长连接板。由于加大加长的连接板占居了灭弧室内的很大空间,所以不得不减少灭弧栅片的数量,从而明显减弱了触头系统的灭弧能力,延长了电弧的燃烧时间,增强了电弧的能量和产品壳体内的气体压力,使电弧容易飞出产品的壳外,大大降低了产品的安全可靠性。在实际应用中,这种触头系统对改善限流性能并不明显,反而因为触头系统设计成这种形状导致容纳灭弧室的空间缩小,不得不缩小灭弧室的体积及减少灭弧栅片的数量,使得电弧燃烧时间长,难以在极短的时间内熄灭。另一方面,如若不缩小灭弧室的体积,则产品的外形尺寸就得增大,使得产品笨重,且材料成本提高。First of all, the electromagnetic force formed by the current divided into two paths on the connecting plate and the current on the moving contact is very small, and there is a large gap between the direction of the electromagnetic force and the extension surface of the swinging track of the moving contact. Therefore, the current on the connection plate has very little electromagnetic attraction to the moving contact, and its effect is not obvious. However, in order to obtain this force, it is necessary to increase and lengthen the connection plate. Since the enlarged and lengthened connecting plate occupies a large space in the arc extinguishing chamber, the number of arc extinguishing grids has to be reduced, which significantly weakens the arc extinguishing ability of the contact system, prolongs the burning time of the arc, and enhances the arc extinguishing capacity. The energy of the arc and the gas pressure in the product shell make the arc easily fly out of the product shell, which greatly reduces the safety and reliability of the product. In practical applications, this contact system does not significantly improve the current limiting performance. On the contrary, because the contact system is designed in such a shape, the space for accommodating the arc extinguishing chamber is reduced, so the volume of the arc extinguishing chamber and the arc extinguishing chamber have to be reduced. The number of grid pieces makes the arc burn for a long time and it is difficult to extinguish it in a very short time. On the other hand, if the volume of the arc extinguishing chamber is not reduced, the external dimensions of the product must be increased, making the product bulky and increasing the material cost.
其次是所述的连接板上的两路电流所处的位置是在动触头的斜下方或斜上方,它们对于动触头所产生的电磁力的方向与动触头摆动轨迹的延伸面之间存在较大的夹角,而这个夹角会给动触头带来干扰其摆动的垂直分力,该垂直分力等于所述的电磁力与所述的夹角的正弦之积。由于两路电流所产生的垂直分力方向相反,所以当两路电流强度相等并与动触头摆动轨迹面对称分布时,两个垂直分力可以抵消。当两路电流强度不相等或与动触头摆动轨迹面不对称分布时,两个垂直分力不能抵消,它们之间的合力会减慢动触头的分断速度。在实际生产制造中,为了减小所述的垂直分力对动触头分断速度的影响,不得不提高零件的加工精度和部件的装配精度,从而不得不提高产品的制造难度和生产成本。Secondly, the positions of the two currents on the connecting plate are located obliquely below or obliquely above the movable contact. There is a large included angle between them, and this included angle will bring a vertical component force that interferes with its swing to the moving contact, and the vertical component force is equal to the product of the electromagnetic force and the sine of the included angle. Since the directions of the vertical component forces generated by the two currents are opposite, when the two currents are equal in intensity and distributed symmetrically with the swinging track plane of the moving contact, the two vertical component forces can be offset. When the current intensities of the two paths are not equal or distributed asymmetrically with the swing track surface of the moving contact, the two vertical components cannot be offset, and the resultant force between them will slow down the breaking speed of the moving contact. In actual production and manufacturing, in order to reduce the influence of the vertical component force on the breaking speed of the moving contact, the processing accuracy of the parts and the assembly accuracy of the parts have to be improved, so that the manufacturing difficulty and production cost of the product have to be increased.
第三是为了减小因电弧燃烧时间长、电弧能量大、产品壳内气体压力大所造成的对产品零部件的冲击破坏,已有的该触头系统的结构复杂、体积大、生产成本很高。The third is to reduce the impact damage to product parts caused by long arc burning time, large arc energy and high gas pressure in the product shell. The existing contact system has complex structure, large volume and high production cost. high.

静触头101通过静触臂102、枢转轴12,与支架10枢转地连接,以使静触头101能绕枢转轴12灵活摆动。在静触臂102的两侧设有两个限位轴11,在支架10上的两侧设有两个限位槽10d,通过限位轴11和限位槽10d的配合组成限位机构,限定静触头101绕枢转轴12的摆动角度。弹簧7安装在弹簧轴8上,弹簧轴8与支架10固定连接。弹簧7的一端与静触臂102连接,其另一端与支架10的底板10f连接,弹簧7的弹力方向朝向动触头,以驱使静触头能朝动触头201(图中未示出)方向摆动,并给动、静触头提供理想的接触力。当静触头101无弹力以外的外力作用时,它在弹簧7的弹力作用下复位,处于图3a、图3b所示位置。如果静触头101受到电磁排斥力F1(在图1中示出)作用,并且F1大于弹力,则静触头101会向下摆动,其摆动的最大角度受限位槽10d限定,以避免摆动角度过大而使静触头101与其它零部件相撞。支架10通过其上的连接孔10C与连接板9实现机械连接,该机械连接可以是铆接或螺钉连接,也可以将底板10f与连接板9直接焊接在一起。连接板9通过导体15与静触臂102相连,以使它们之间具有良好的电连接性能。连接板9通过其上的接线孔91或接线座(图中未示出)与主电路的进线或出线电连接。在静触臂102的上方并与动触臂202之间,设有用高分子产气材料制成的反射板13,其作用是:在分断短路电流时它会产生气体,使静触臂102与动触臂202之间的空气在狭窄的空间内迅速膨胀,从而产生推动动触臂202断开的气体压力,以增加动触头的断开速度;保护枢转轴12和限位轴11不被电弧烧损。在支架10的两个凸缘10a的内侧分别设有绝缘板14,其作用是防止支架10a的两个凸缘被电弧烧损,同时该绝缘板在电弧的高温作用下还能分解出有利于冷却电弧的优质气体。The
从图3a、图3b和图4不难得到如下启发:所述的弹簧7可以是扭簧(如图3a、图3b所示),但也可以是片簧或压簧;弹簧7可以通过弹簧轴8安装在支架10上,但也可以通过支架10下方的空间固定在灭弧室300上,尤其在使用片簧或压簧的情况,更适宜采用这种结构。From Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 4, it is not difficult to get the following inspiration: the spring 7 can be a torsion spring (as shown in Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b), but it can also be a leaf spring or a compression spring; The shaft 8 is installed on the
如图4所示,所述的支架10是由两个侧板10g、两凸缘(10a)和一个底板10f组成的U形结构的整体元件,即它们是不可分割的同一体。在两个侧板10g的两端,对称地设有两个孔10e和两个孔10b。孔10e用于安装静触头101上的枢转轴12(在图3a、图3b中示出)。孔10b用于安装弹簧轴8(在图3a、图3b中示出)。通过侧板10g和枢转轴12、弹簧轴8的装配连接,还可起到加强支架10的结构强度的效果。在两个侧板10g的中部,对称地设有两个限位槽10d,用于安装设置在静触臂(102)上的限位轴11(在图3a、图3b中示出),其作用是限定静触头的静态位置和摆动角度。在底板10f上设有至少一个连接孔10C,用于将底板10f与连接板9(在图3a、图3b中示出)实现紧密的机械连接,该机械连接可以是铆接或螺钉连接,也可以将底板10f与连接板9直接焊接在一起。在两侧板10g的适当位,对称设有两个凸缘10a,通过凸缘10a和底板10f形成U形结构的用于吹弧的磁吹系统。U形结构的开口朝向动触头(201)斥开摆动的方向,以使U形结构开口处的磁力线方向与动、静触头之间的电弧电流的方向垂直。动、静触头的接触点处于U形结构与灭弧栅3之间,以使U形结构的磁力线将电弧吹进灭弧栅3内。支架10用优良的导磁材料制成,以增强吹弧磁场的强度,进而提升磁吹的力度。在两个侧板10g的外侧面的孔10e周围设有向外凸起,用于将支架10与壳体1、壳盖5(在图2中示出)固定和定位。As shown in Fig. 4, the
下面结合图1和图5进一步说明本发明的触头系统的快速分断、限流和灭弧的工作原理。The working principle of quick breaking, current limiting and arc extinguishing of the contact system of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 .
由于动触头201和静触头101在闭合状态下流经它们的电流i1的方向相反,所以当主电路出现短路等情况使电流i1超过额定值时,主电路的电流i1产生的电磁排斥力F1,能驱使动触头201和静触头101同时迅速斥开,即动触头201迅速作远离静触头101方向摆动,静触头101迅速作远离动触头201方向摆动。由于动、静触头同时斥开,所以加快了斥开速度。由于静触臂102比动触臂202更轻巧,所以它的斥开动作更灵敏,打开速度更快。由于反射板13和绝缘板14能在分断时迅速产生气体,并形成推动动触臂201和静触臂101斥开的气体压力,该压力进一步加大了动、静触头之间的排斥力、进一步加快了它们之间的斥开速度。Since the direction of the current i1 flowing through them in the closed state of the moving
由于电磁排斥力和气体压力两力合一,再加上静触头101与动触头201能同时摆动,使动、静触头之间能快速斥开,能快速增大电弧电阻和增高电弧电压,因此,本发明的断路器触头系统,不仅具有分断速度快、限流效果好的优点,而且还具有灭弧快的显著优势,其主要优越性体现在以下四点:Due to the combination of electromagnetic repulsion force and gas pressure, and the simultaneous swing of the
首先是上述两力合一和动、静触头同时摆动斥开的工作原理,它不仅能较早引出电流、提升电弧电压、实现快速分断和快速限流,而且还能增大动、静触头之间的开距,快速将电弧拉长、拉细,破坏电弧的稳定燃烧,使其快速熄灭。The first is the working principle of the above-mentioned combination of two forces and the simultaneous swinging and repelling of the dynamic and static contacts. It can not only draw out the current earlier, increase the arc voltage, realize rapid breaking and rapid current limiting, but also increase the dynamic and static contacts. The opening distance between the heads quickly elongates and thins the arc, destroys the stable combustion of the arc, and makes it extinguish quickly.
其次是本发明的触头系统具有一个小巧高效的磁吹灭弧系统,即如图5所示的由支架10的U形结构构成的磁吹系统。由于支架10是用优良的导磁材料制成,根据电磁学原理可知:当电弧电流i2如图5所示方向流动时,所述的磁吹系统能产生磁场,其磁力线H的方向与电弧电流i2的方向垂直,而磁力线H对电弧电流i2的作用力F的方向不仅与磁力线H方向垂直,而且也与电弧电流i2的方向垂直,同时还朝向灭弧栅3,从而将电弧推进灭弧栅3内被快速分割、冷却和熄灭。从上述原理可见,本发明的触头系统的分断电流越大,其磁吹灭弧的效果就越显著。Secondly, the contact system of the present invention has a small and efficient magnetic blowing arc extinguishing system, that is, the magnetic blowing system composed of the U-shaped structure of the
第三是本发明的触头系统很小巧,在有限的空间内很好地解决了静触头部件100的支撑、翻转摆动、摆动限位、弹性复位等一系列技术问题,大大缩小了其所占的灭弧室300的空间,将其腾出的空间用于增加灭弧栅片的数量,从而进一步增强了灭弧的性能。The third is that the contact system of the present invention is very compact, which solves a series of technical problems such as the support, flipping and swinging, swinging limit, and elastic reset of the
第四是本发明的触头系统设置在高强度材料制成的由壳体1和壳盖5合成的密封的灭弧室300内,因其良好的限流及灭弧性能,所以使电弧难以从灭弧室飞出,甚至可以达到零飞弧的效果,从而大大提高了电器产品的安全等级,同时还可降低采用本触头系统制造的电器产品的底座和外壳的材料要求和制造成本。The fourth is that the contact system of the present invention is arranged in the sealed
