ELECTROMECHANICAL CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: electromechanical connectors. SUBSTANCE: connector has change-over device incorporating making electromagnets and connected through current- carrying contacts 12 to current supply. Disconnecting device 2 incorporating breaking electromagnet 17 can be connected with change- over device 2. Making electromagnets 5 can be shifted from idle to working position in spite of holding force and mating contact members can be closed thereby establishing electrical connection between change-over device 1 and disconnecting device 2. Making electromagnets 5 and breaking electromagnet 17 are specifically coded. Mating contact members are arranged approximately in vicinity of shroud between its center and making magnets. Skid-mounted electricity conducting bridge 13 is provided to close circuit between mating contact members and current- carrying contact. EFFECT: improved safety and magnetic cohesion. 11 cl, 11 dwg
