Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance weld resisting performance and reduce sounds caused by the collision of an electromagnet mounted to a movable frame for driving movable contact plates by providing the electromagnet with a magnetic damper which is held by a permanent magnet and moved against the holding force, together with an armature. CONSTITUTION:A pair 10 of contacts comprising a fixed 11 and movable 12 contact of good weld resisting performance and a pair 20 of contacts having good contact resisting performance are connected in parallel to each other and are assembled into a block B via contact plates 13, 14, 23, 24. The movable contact plates 14, 24 are operated via a movable frame 8 to connect and disconnect the contacts 11, 12, 21, 22. The movable frame 8 is operated by an electromagnet E comprising a coil 4 wound to an iron core 3, and by a permanent magnet 7 of magnetic force opposite to that of the electromagnet E. In the contact switching device, a magnetic damper 9 of a U-cross section is provided which is loosely fitted into the broad part 3C of the iron core 3 and is held by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 7 and moved together with the magnet. The weld resisting performance of the pairs 10, 20 of contacts is thereby enhanced and sounds caused by the collision of the electromagnet E during the switching operation are reduced.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a contact switchgear for opening and closing a load having a large inrush current such as a capacitor load or a lamp load, and more particularly to a contact switchgear suitable for an electromagnetic relay opening and closing such a load.

By the way, when a capacitor load, a lamp load, etc. are opened and closed, a large rush current flows, and the arc generated thereby sometimes causes contact welding. In order to prevent this, it is conceivable to use, as the contact material, a material having good welding resistance such as tungsten. However, in this case, since a material such as tungsten has a large resistance value, the temperature rise in the contact closed state becomes large.

Therefore, a contact pair having a good welding resistance and a contact pair having a good contact resistance are in parallel connection, and the contact plates provided with the movable contacts are movable members of the electromagnet. That is, a contact pair that is driven by a movable frame holding an armature and has good welding resistance contacts first during contact closing operation, and then separates after contact opening operation.

Further increase.

The operating characteristics of the contacts are as shown in FIG. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the displacement M of the movable member of the electromagnet and its velocity V. As is clear from FIG. 12, the contact pair with good welding resistance is turned on at time t1, and the contact pair with good contact resistance is turned on at time t2. The displacement (stroke) difference Δx 2-1 from when a contact pair with good welding resistance is turned on until the next contact pair with good contact resistance is turned on is originally small (see Fig. 11),
Moreover, since the velocity V of the movable member of the electromagnet is sufficiently high, the time difference Δt 2-1 between the closing of a contact pair with good welding resistance and the next contact with good contact resistance performance Cannot be so large. As a result, there is a risk that a contact pair having good contact resistance performance may be turned on when an inrush current is flowing, and in such a case, contact welding will occur.

In this state, the permanent magnet flowing through the fixed iron core 3
When the coil 4 is excited to flow the magnetic flux in the direction of canceling the magnetic flux of 7, the magnetic flux by the coil 4 also flows to the right armature 6c and attracts it, and the armature 6 starts moving in the arrow direction. Then, as shown in (b), the right armature 6c comes into contact with the right facing piece 9c. Therefore, Amatya 6 is a permanent magnet 7
The magnetic buffer body 9 held by the holding force of is moved while moving against the holding force, and as shown in (c), the armature 6c on the right side contacts the magnetic pole surface 3c of the fixed iron core 3. Sucked.

Even when the coil 4 is no longer excited in the state of (c), the state of the armature 6 is maintained by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 7, and the magnetic buffer body 9 has the right facing piece 9c for buffering the right side. It is located inside the body recess 3d and is also held by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet. The right facing piece 9c is interposed between the right armature 6c and the magnetic pole surface 3c of the fixed iron core 3, but does not hinder the direct contact between the armature 6c and the magnetic pole surface 3c.

Therefore, each movable contact plate 14, 2 of each contact pair 10, 20
4 is a movable frame 8 holding an armature 6 including a permanent magnet 7.
It is driven by the drive units 8b and 8c of the above to perform the contact opening / closing operation.
Since the moving speed of the armature 6 in such an operation is reduced and it collides with the magnetic pole surface 3c, a contact pair with good welding resistance is turned on, and then a contact pair with good contact resistance is turned on. The difference Δt 2-1 in the charging time until the start of the collision can be made large, and the collision noise at that time can be reduced.

In other words, the magnetic buffer 9 is moved by the armature against the holding force of the permanent magnet when the armature is attracted to the magnetic pole surface, and when it is moved, the armature and the magnetic pole surface. It does not interfere with the contact of the. This means that, in addition to the above-mentioned action, compared to a fixed core with a cushioning member attached to reduce collision noise,
This brings about the effect that the original total stroke in the attraction force characteristic diagram does not decrease and each attraction force for holding the armature does not become small.

In order to move the armature 6 in the reverse direction from the state of (c), it suffices to excite the coil 4 so that the magnetic flux in the opposite direction to that in the previous case flows, and the case where the magnetic buffer 9 is the previous case. By the same action, Amatya 4 returns to the state of (a).

More specifically, when the operating characteristics of the contacts and the like are compared with those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 12, it becomes as shown in FIG. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the displacement M of the movable member of the electromagnet E and its velocity V. As is apparent from FIG. 6, the contact pair 10 having good welding resistance is turned on at the time t1, and the armature 6c abuts on the magnetic buffer 9 at the time t2.
Then, at time t3, the contact pair 20 having good contact resistance performance is turned on. Therefore, the displacement (stroke) difference between the contact pair 10 with good welding resistance performance and the contact pair 20 with good contact resistance performance next is larger than that of the conventional one. Since the velocity V of the movable member of is small,
As described above, the difference Δt 2-1 in making time from when the contact pair 10 having good welding resistance performance is made until the contact pair 20 having good contact resistance performance is made next can be made large. As a result, reduced extremely danger of contact resistance good contact pair of potential 20 is turned on when the inrush current is flowing, contact welding is less likely to occur. Naturally, the collision noise of Amatya 6 is also reduced.
