ELECTROMAGNETIC SWITCH

摘要

An arc runner has a pair of side panels covering movable contacts and fixed contacts from a width direction of a movable contactor, a back panel covering the movable contacts and the fixed contacts from a longitudinal direction of the movable contactor, and a top panel covering the movable contacts and the fixed contacts from above, is formed of a magnetic material, and guides arcs to be generated between the movable contacts and the fixed contacts when the movable contacts and the fixed contacts separate from each other, toward an upward direction of the movable contactor. Furthermore, the arc runner includes, in a central portion of the top panel, a top panel hole flow-path area which is larger than top-panel to side-panel gaps formed between the side panels and the top panel.

主权项

1. An electromagnetic switch comprising:
a fixed iron core that is fixed on a casing; a movable iron core that is arranged to be opposite to the fixed iron core; a tripping spring that energizes the movable iron core in a direction of separating the movable iron core from the fixed iron core; an operation coil that is installed around the fixed iron core and generates an electromagnetic force for attracting the movable iron core to the fixed iron core against an elastic force of the tripping spring at a time of magnetization; a cross bar in which a plurality of rod-shaped movable contactors, each movable contactor having a pair of movable contacts on both ends thereof, is installed, and to which the movable iron core is attached and that moves with the movable iron core; a plurality of fixed contactors, each fixed contactor having fixed contacts corresponding to the movable contacts, the fixed contacts being arranged so as to be positioned under the movable contacts, wherein the movable contacts contact or leave the fixed contacts in response to magnetization or demagnetization of the operation coil; and an arc runner that includes a pair of side panels covering the movable contacts and the fixed contacts from a width direction of the movable contactor, a back panel covering the movable contacts and the fixed contacts from a longitudinal direction of the movable contactor, and a top panel covering the movable contacts and the fixed contacts from above, and that is formed of a magnetic material and guides arcs to be generated between the movable contacts and the fixed contacts when the movable contacts and the fixed contacts separate from each other, toward an upward direction of the movable contactor, wherein the arc runner includes, in a central portion of the top panel, a top panel hole whose flow-path area is larger than an area of gaps formed between the side panels and the top panel.
