This application claims priority of Chinese Application No. 202020488221.9 filed Apr. 7, 2020, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
The utility model relates to a socket, and in particular, to an automatic balance apparatus with a double-moving-contact spring leaf in a socket.
Currently, in a conventional ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI), a lifting device of a spring leaf has a simple structure and generally includes a lifting slide block. The lifting slide block is provided with a lifting arm corresponding to the spring leaf, and the lifting arm is provided with a protruding portion corresponding to a corresponding moving contact. In an actual use process, the lifting arm cannot ensure that two moving contacts are in good contact with corresponding stationary contacts in the lifting process, that is, one of the contacts may have poor contact. Consequently, reliable connections between the moving contacts and the stationary contacts cannot be ensured, greatly shortening the service life of the moving contacts and the stationary contacts.
The technical problem to be solved in the utility model is to provide an automatic balance apparatus with a double-moving-contact spring leaf in a socket which may ensure that two moving contacts are in good contact with corresponding stationary contacts.
To resolve the above technical problem, a technical solution used in the utility model is as follows: an automatic balance apparatus with a double-moving-contact spring leaf in a socket is provided, the automatic balance apparatus including a lifting slide block, where the lifting slide block is provided with a lifting base below the spring leaf, a balance warped plate corresponding to an arrangement direction of moving contacts is movably disposed in the lifting base, and upward protruding portions are respectively disposed on two sides of the top surface of the balance warped plate.
As a preferred solution, in the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf, the balance warped plate is specifically disposed as follows: a mounting chamber matching the balance warped plate is upwards disposed in the lifting base, the bottom of the mounting chamber is provided with a rotary support shaft and a pair of mounting holes located on two sides of the rotary support shaft, the bottom of the balance warped plate is provided with a clamping rotary shaft hole that matches the rotary support shaft and has a downward opening, a circumference of the clamping rotary shaft hole exceeds half a circle, the balance warped plate is disposed in the mounting chamber, the rotary support shaft is located in the clamping rotary shaft hole at the bottom of the balance warped plate, and side walls of two sides of the clamping rotary shaft hole respectively pass out of the corresponding mounting holes on the two sides of the rotary support shaft.
As a preferred solution, in the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf, guide chamfers are respectively disposed on two sides of an edge of the clamping rotary shaft hole.
As a preferred solution, in the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf, the spring leaf is provided with, at one end where the moving contacts are disposed, a separation groove along a longitudinal direction to form two moving contact arms capable of swinging independently, and the pair of moving contacts are respectively disposed on the corresponding moving contact arms.
As a preferred solution, in the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf, the separation groove is centrally disposed at one end of the spring leaf.
As a preferred solution, in the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf, the socket is a GFCI or an AFCI.
The utility model has the following beneficial effects: in the utility model, a balance warped plate is disposed, so that a spring leaf may be automatically leveled in the use process to ensure that two moving contacts are in good contact with corresponding stationary contacts, ensuring reliable connections between the moving contacts and the stationary contacts, and greatly prolonging the service life of the moving contacts and the stationary contacts.
List of Reference Numerals in
A specific embodiment of an automatic balance apparatus with a double-moving-contact spring leaf in a socket according to the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
In an actual application, the automatic balance apparatus with the double-moving-contact spring leaf according to the utility model is mainly applied to an AFCI and a GFCI that is shown in
In actual use, under action of the balance warped plate 5, the spring leaf 4 may be automatically leveled, so that the first moving contact 7 on the first moving contact arm 41 is in good contact with a first stationary contact 1 and the second moving contact 8 on the second moving contact arm 42 is in good contact with a second stationary contact 2, making connections between the moving contacts and the stationary contacts more reliable.
The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made based on the shape, construction, feature, and spirit in the scope of the claims of the utility model shall be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
