Abstract

A connector comprises of: a lower housing (10); a lower core (1) installed in the lower housing (10); an upper housing (20) detachably connected with the lower housing (10); an upper core (2) installed in the upper housing (20) and adapted to mate with the lower core (1); a lock (100) whose lower part is rotationally mounted on an outer wall of the lower housing (10) to maintain the connection between the upper housing (20) and the lower housing (10); and a spring (200) located between the lower housing (10) and the lock (100) to apply an elastic locking force to the lock (100). An ear (21) protruding outwards is formed on an outer wall of the upper housing (20), a recess (140) adapted to latch with the ear (21) is formed on the lock (100), and a guide slope (130a) is formed on an upper part of the lock (100). In the process of mating the lower core (1) and the upper core (2), the ear (21) of the upper housing (20) slides downward along the guide slope (130a) and is guided into the recess (140) by the guide slope (130a). In the present invention, the assembly and locking of the lower housing and the upper housing are realized at the same time in the process of mating the lower core and the upper core. It is unnecessary to assemble and lock the lower housing and the upper housing separately, which reduces the installation steps and makes the assembly of the connector more convenient and simple.

Abstract

The disclosure discloses an auxiliary contact system of a contactor including: an auxiliary movable contact (10); an auxiliary static contact (20) corresponding to the auxiliary movable contact (10); and a rotation member (100) configured to be rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the rotation member (100) is rotated to the first position, the rotation member (100) drives a main movable contact (30) of the contactor to an electric contact position where the main movable contact (30) contacts a main static contact of the contactor. When the rotation member (100) is rotated to the second position, the rotation member (100) drives the main movable contact (30) of the contactor to an electric separation position where the main movable contact (30) is separated from the main static contact of the contactor. When the rotation member (100) is in the first position, the auxiliary movable contact (10) is in the electric contact position where the auxiliary movable contact (10) contacts the auxiliary static contact (20). When the rotation member (100) is in the second position, the rotation member (100) pushes the auxiliary movable contact (10) to the electric separation position where the auxiliary movable contact (10) is separated from the auxiliary static contact (20). In the disclosure, the synchronous action of the auxiliary movable contact and the main movable contact can be controlled by the rotation member, so no additional auxiliary switch is required, which reduces the manufacturing cost of the contactor.

Abstract

The invention relates to an underground link box (1) for connecting and/or switching adjacent sections (83) of at least two low-voltage cables (65), the underground link box (1) comprising at least two end portions (7), each end portion (7) is adapted to accommodate a cable (65) and a center portion (6) providing connection terminals (5) for connecting and/or switching the sections (83) of the cables (65) accomodated in the end portions (7), wherein the center portion (6) is located between the end portions (7). The invention further relates to a method for sealing an underground link box (1) against water ingress. Underground link boxes (1) of the art have the disadvantage that relative movement (flexure) of the end portions (7) with respect to the center portion (6) may result in cracks (63) in the underground link box (1) through which water may enter, resulting in failure of the underground link box (1). The inventive underground link box (1) solves this problem by further comprising a sealing member (71) of a sealing agent (73), which remains flexible after being hardened. Accordingly, in the inventive method, a sealing agent (73) is poured into the underground link box (1) for forming a sealing member (71), whereby the sealing agent (73) remains flexible after being hardened.
