Abstract

Disclosed is a magnetic contactor. The magnetic contactor includes a frame, a bobbin provided in the frame, and configured to include a hollow part, a movable core movably inserted into the hollow part in an axial direction, a yoke disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin to be separated from the coil and to face each other, and configured to act as a fixed core, and a manipulating circuit part disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin in parallel with a moving direction of the movable core to intersect the yoke. The coil is wound around an outer surface of the bobbin. Accordingly, a coil having a broad rated voltage range is used. Also, a structure of a product is simplified, and a space is broadly used.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A magnetic contactor comprising:
a frame;
a bobbin provided in the frame, and configured to include a hollow part, wherein a coil is wound around an outer surface of the bobbin;
a movable core movably inserted into the hollow part in an axial direction;
a yoke disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin to be separated from the coil and to face each other, and configured to act as a fixed core; and
a manipulating circuit part disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin in parallel with a moving direction of the movable core to intersect the yoke,
wherein the manipulating circuit part comprises:
a printed circuit board (PCB);
an inverting switch provided on the PCB, wherein the inverting switch is switched on or off on the contrary to a contact of a main circuit; and
a voltage dropping element provided on the PCB, wherein when the inverting switch is inverted, the voltage dropping element drops an external voltage applied thereto to reduce a voltage applied to a coil.

2. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the movable core has a cylindrical shape.

3. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the yoke is detachably coupled to a side of the bobbin.

4. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the yoke comprises first and second yokes provided to be separable from and contactable with each other, each of the first and second yokes comprising:
a plurality of contacts disposed to be separated from each other in an axial direction of the bobbin and to face each other on the same plane; and
a connecting part disposed in parallel with a moving direction of the bobbin to connect ends of the plurality of contacts.

5. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the voltage dropping element is a capacitor.

6. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the manipulating circuit part further comprises a rectifying element configured to convert external AC power into DC power.

7. The magnetic contactor of claim 6 , wherein the inverting switch is disposed between the coil power input terminal and the rectifying element.

8. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the bobbin comprises a plurality of yoke inserting parts respectively disposed at both ends of a bobbin body to be separated from each other in the moving direction of the movable core, and configured to guide insertion of the yoke.

9. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein the inverting switch is mounted on the manipulating circuit part as one body, and modularized.

10. The magnetic contactor of claim 1 , wherein,
the frame comprises a holder movably provided in the frame, and configured to include a support guide part and support the movable core, and
the movable core comprises:
a connecting member coupled to one end of the movable core; and
a support provided at the connecting member, configured to include a plurality of sliding projections which are respectively formed to protrude toward each other at both sides, and sliding-coupled to the support guide part.

11. A magnetic contactor comprising:
a frame;
a bobbin provided in the frame, and configured to include a hollow part, wherein a coil is wound around an outer surface of the bobbin;
a movable core movably inserted into the hollow part in an axial direction;
a yoke disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin to be separated from the coil and to face each other, and configured to act as a fixed core; and
a manipulating circuit part disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin in parallel with a moving direction of the movable core to intersect the yoke, wherein the yoke comprises first and second yokes provided to be separable from and contactable with each other, each of the first and second yokes comprising:
a plurality of contacts disposed to be separated from each other in an axial direction of the bobbin and to face each other on the same plane; and
a connecting part disposed in parallel with a moving direction of the bobbin to connect ends of the plurality of contacts, wherein in each of the first and second yokes,
a semicircular opening is formed at one of the plurality of contacts, and insertion of the movable core into the semicircular opening is allowed, and
the other contact is formed in a closed structure to stop movement of the movable core.

12. A magnetic contactor comprising:
a frame;
a bobbin provided in the frame, and configured to include a hollow part, wherein a coil is wound around an outer surface of the bobbin;
a movable core movably inserted into the hollow part in an axial direction;
a yoke disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin to be separated from the coil and to face each other, and configured to act as a fixed core; and
a manipulating circuit part disposed at the outer surface of the bobbin in parallel with a moving direction of the movable core to intersect the yoke wherein,
the frame comprises a holder movably provided in the frame, and configured to include a support guide part and support the movable core, and
the movable core comprises:
a connecting member coupled to one end of the movable core;
a support provided at the connecting member, and configured to include an inserting hole which is formed at each of both sides; and
a supporting pin assembled to pass through the inserting hole, and slidably inserted into and coupled to an inner surface of the support guide part.

13. A magnetic contactor comprising:
a frame;
a bobbin provided in the frame, and configured to include a hollow part, wherein a coil is wound around an outer surface of the bobbin;
a movable core movably inserted into the hollow part in an axial direction;
