A relay is an electronic control device that has a control system (also known as an input circuit) and a controlled system (also known as an output circuit). It is usually used in automatic control circuits. A relay is actually an “automatic switch” that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit conversion in the circuit.

Wherein in the movable contact assembly 3100, the number of the movable contact piece 3110 is equal to the number of the second magnetizer 6200. Specifically, when the number of the movable contact piece 3110 is one, the number of the second magnetizer 6200 is also one; When the number of the movable contact piece 3110 is multiple (including two), the number of the second magnetizer 6200 is also multiple. The multiple second magnetizers 6200 are fixedly connected to multiple sides of the multiple movable contact pieces 3110 facing away from the static contact leading-out terminal 2000 in a one-to-one correspondence.
Of course, in other embodiments, when the number of the movable contact piece 3110 is one, the number of the second magnetizer 6200 may also be multiple, for example, at least one opening is provided in the middle of the movable contact piece 3110, and two adjacent second magnetizers 6200 among the multiple second magnetizers 6200 are inserted into one opening.
As shown in
Each side wall 3222 of the contact bracket 3220 is provided with a clamping hole 3223.

Wherein when the number of the movable contact piece 3110 is multiple, the plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 are arranged side by side along the third direction D3.
Referring back to
The relay further includes a metal cover 5000. The metal cover 5000 is connected to the side of the yoke plate 1200 facing away from the insulating cover 1100, and the metal cover 5000 covers the second through hole 1210 on the yoke plate 1200. The metal cover 5000 and the yoke plate 1200 enclose a chamber for accommodating the static iron core 4300 and the movable iron core 4400 of the magnetic circuit part 4000.
The magnetic circuit part 4000 includes a bobbin 4100, a coil 4200, a static iron core 4300, a movable iron core 4400 and a reset piece 4500. The bobbin 4100 is in a hollow cylindrical shape and is formed of an insulating material. The metal cover 5000 is inserted into the bobbin 4100. The coil 4200 surrounds the bobbin 4100. The static iron core 4300 is fixedly arranged in the metal cover 5000, and a part of the static iron core 4300 extends into the second through hole 1210. The static iron core 4300 has a penetrating hole 4410 arranged corresponding to the position of the second through hole 1210, and is used for the rod portion 3212 to be inserted therein. The movable iron core 4400 is movably arranged in the metal cover 5000, and is arranged opposite to the static iron core 4300 along the axial direction of the rod portion 3212. The movable iron core 4400 is connected to the rod portion 3212 and is used to be attracted by the static iron core 4300 when the coil 4200 is energized. The movable iron core 4400 and the rod portion 3212 can be connected by threading, riveting, welding or other methods.
The reset piece 4500 is located inside the metal cover 5000 and is disposed between the static iron core 4300 and the movable iron core 4400, and is used to reset the movable iron core 4400 when the coil 4200 is powered off. The reset piece 4500 may be a spring and is sleeved outside the rod portion 3212.
It should be noted that when the coil 4200 is energized, the magnetic circuit part 4000 can drive the rod portion 3212 to push the push rod assembly 3200 to move upward. When the movable contact piece 3110 contacts the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, the movable contact piece 3110 is stopped by the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, while the rod portion 3212 and the base 3211 will continue to move upward until the over-travel is completed.
As shown in
When the movable contact assembly 3100 includes only the movable contact piece 3110 but not the second magnetizer 6200, after the movable contact piece 3110 is energized, the first magnetizer 6100 is magnetized, thereby forming an attraction force on the movable contact piece 3110 in the contact closing direction, and the attraction force can resist the electric repulsion force generated by the short-circuit current between the movable contact piece 3110 and the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, thereby preventing the movable contact piece 3110 from bouncing off from the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, thereby achieving the purpose of resisting short circuit.
When the movable contact assembly 3100 includes the movable contact piece 3110 and the second magnetizer 6200, the second magnetizer 6200 is fixedly connected to the movable contact piece 3110, and the second magnetizer 6200 is used to form a magnetic circuit with the first magnetizer 6100.
When both ends of the movable contact piece 3110 are in contact with the pair of static contact leading-out terminals, the second magnetizer 6200 moving together with the movable contact piece 3110 approaches or contacts the first magnetizer 6100, thereby forming a magnetic circuit around the movable contact piece 3110 between the first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200. When the short-circuit current passes through the movable contact piece 3110, a magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200 in the direction of the contact pressure, and the magnetic attraction force can resist the electric repulsion force generated by the short-circuit current between the movable contact piece 3110 and the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, which ensures that the movable contact piece 3110 and the static contact leading-out terminal 2000 do not bounce off.
It is understood that the second magnetizer 6200 and the movable contact piece 3110 may be fixedly connected by riveting, but is not limited thereto.
The first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200 can both be straight-line or U-shaped, and the first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200 can be made of magnetic conductive materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof.
Wherein when the movable contact assembly 3100 includes a plurality of the movable contact pieces 3110 arranged side by side, the number of the first magnetizers 6100 may be plural, and the number of the first magnetizers 6100 corresponds to the number of the movable contact pieces 3110, and the plurality of first magnetizers 6100 are respectively located on one side of the plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 facing the static contact leading-out terminal 2000.
Of course, in other embodiments, when the movable contact assembly 3100 includes a plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 arranged side by side, the number of the first magnetizer 6100 may be one, and the first magnetizer 6100 spans across the plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 in the third direction D3.
The first magnetizer 6100 may be connected to the contact container 1000 through two connection pieces 6300. One end of the two connection pieces 6300 is connected to the contact container 1000, and the other end of the two connection pieces 6300 is connected to the first magnetizer 6100.
It is understandable that the first magnetizer 6100 is connected to the contact container 1000 through the connection piece 6300, so that the magnetic attraction force for resisting short circuit is transferred to the contact container 1000. Since the contact container 1000 is a stationary component, there is no need for too much holding force of the coil, thereby reducing the power consumption of the coil of the relay and the volume of the relay, and improving the anti-short circuit ability.
In one embodiment, the connection piece 6300 is rod-shaped, one end of the connection piece 6300 along the axial direction is fixedly connected to the ceramic cover 1110 of the insulating cover 1100, and the other end of the connection piece 6300 along the axial direction is connected to the first magnetizer 6100.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the top wall of the ceramic cover 1110 of the contact container 1000 is provided with a third through hole 1111, and the connection piece 6300 is inserted through the third through hole 1111. The connection method between the end of the connection piece 6300 and the ceramic cover 1110 may be various, such as welding, riveting, threading, bonding, etc. The connection method between the other end of the connection piece 6300 and the first magnetizer 6100 can also may be various, such as welding, riveting, threading, bonding, clamping, etc.
It is understandable that when one end of the connection piece 6300 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110 by welding, by welding the connection piece 6300 to the top wall of the ceramic cover 1110, the metallization layer can be processed only on the periphery of the third through hole 1111 on the outer wall of the top wall, without processing the metallization layer on the inner wall of the top wall, which is convenient for processing and simplifies the processing steps.
It is understood that one end of the connection piece 6300 may be connected to the outer wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110, may be connected to the inner wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110, or may be connected to both the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, one end of the connection piece 6300 is connected to the periphery of the third through hole 1111 of the ceramic cover 1110.
It can be seen that the first magnetizer 6100 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110 through the connection piece 6300. On the one hand, the magnetic attraction force for resisting short circuit is transferred to the ceramic cover 1110, so there is no need for too much holding force of the coil, thereby reducing the power consumption of the coil of the relay and the volume of the relay, and improving the anti-short circuit ability; on the other hand, since the connection piece 6300 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110, it will not occupy too much space in the contact chamber 1001, ensuring the arc extinguishing space of the arc extinguishing component and the activity space of the push rod.
In addition, the first magnetizer 6100 is connected to the rod-shaped connection piece 6300, so that the first magnetizer 6100 and the connection piece 6300 can be connected in a variety of ways, such as riveting, laser welding, clamping, gluing, etc., enriching the connection methods.
As an example, the connection piece 6300 is a solid rod. Thus, the connection piece 6300 and the first magnetizer 6100 can be connected by riveting, making the connection more reliable. In addition, the solid rod has a higher support strength and is less prone to deformation.
As shown in
The elastic piece 100 includes a base portion 110, a connection portion 120 and a deformation portion 130. The base portion 110 is connected to the push rod 3210 through the first anti-rotation structure 300. Both sides of the base portion 110 along the first direction D1 are respectively provided with the connection portion 120 and the deformation portion 130, and the base portion 110 is connected to the connection portion 120 through the deformation portion 130. The connection portion 120 of the elastic piece 100 is connected to the movable contact assembly 3100 through the second anti-rotation structure 400. Wherein the deformation portion 130 is used to generate deformation to provide contact pressure.
As shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic piece 100 includes a base portion 110, a connection portion 120 and a deformation portion 130. The base portion 110 is connected to the push rod 3210 through the first anti-rotation structure 300, and the connection portion 120 is connected to the movable contact assembly 3100 through the second anti-rotation structure 400. The deformation portion 130 can be deformed to provide contact pressure. The movable contact assembly 3100 is connected to the push rod 3210 through the elastic piece 100, and the movable contact assembly 3100 is prevented from rotating relative to the push rod 3210, thereby ensuring the consistency of the contact position between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, thus improving the reliability of the relay.
In addition, since the movable contact assembly 3100 cannot rotate, it can reduce to a certain extent or even prevent the movable contact assembly 3100 from contacting the side wall of the contact bracket 3220, thereby avoiding the generation of large ripple noise (metal friction noise). In addition, it is avoided that the matching clearance becomes larger due to the increase of friction times and severe wear, which leads to the increase of deflection force and friction resistance. Furthermore, it can also reduce the metal particles generated by the friction between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the contact bracket 3220, reduce the probability of metal particles falling on the contact surface of the contacts, and thus reduce the quality risk of contact resistance increasing or even non-conduction.
It should be noted that the first anti-rotation structure 300 is used to limit the relative rotation between the elastic piece 100 and the push rod assembly 3200 around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200, and the second anti-rotation structure 400 is used to limit the relative rotation between the elastic piece 100 and the movable contact assembly 3100 around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200, so that the elastic piece 100 can limit the rotation of the movable contact assembly 3100 relative to the push rod assembly 3200 around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200.
In other embodiments, the base portion 110 is connected to the movable contact assembly 3100 through the second anti-rotation structure 400, and the connection portion 120 is connected to t the push rod 3210 through the first anti-rotation structure 300.
It should be noted that, when the movable contact piece 3110 is in plurality, due to the anti-rotation function of the first anti-rotation structure 300 and the second anti-rotation structure 400, only one contact bracket 3220 may be used, thereby avoiding the need to provide a contact bracket 3220 for each movable contact piece 3110 and increasing the occupied space.
As shown in
As shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the first distance L1 is smaller than the second distance L2, during the over-travel process, the elastic piece 100 is compressed by the push rod 3210 and the movable contact assembly 3100, so that the deformation portion 130 on both sides of the base portion 110 can be deformed in a direction away from each other (the deformation portion 130 on both sides expands outward), thereby preventing the elastic piece 100 from being stuck and unable to provide contact pressure. In addition, since the first distance L1 is smaller than the second distance L2, the deformation portions 130 on both sides of the base portion 110 are equivalent to being bent in a direction close to each other as a whole, thereby reducing the overall volume of the elastic piece 100 and reducing the space occupancy rate.
Of course, in other embodiments, when the internal space of the relay is large enough, the first distance L1 may also be greater than the second distance L2.
The deformation portions 130 on both sides of the base portion 110 are first bent from both sides of the base portion 110 in the direction away from each other, and then bent in direction close to the movable contact assembly 3100 and close to each other.
As shown in
As shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable contact assembly 3100 includes two movable contact pieces 3110 and two second magnetizers 6200. Two deformation portions 130 and two connection portions 120 are disposed on each side of the base portion 110. Four connection portions 120 are divided into two pairs, and each pair of the connection portions 120 are disposed opposite to each other in the first direction D1. The two pairs of the connection portions 120 are connected to the two movable contact pieces 3110 through the second anti-rotation structure 400.
It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, each movable contact piece 3110 corresponds to a pair of connection portions 120, so that when the contact gaps of the plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 and the static contact leading-out terminals are inconsistent, the plurality of movable contact pieces 3110 will not interfere with each other.
As shown in
Further, a first bending joint 136 is formed between the first section 131 and the second section 132 of each deformation portion 130; along the second direction D2, the connection portion 120 corresponds to the position of the first bending joint 136.
As shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least two first limiting holes 111 are provided in the base portion 110, the first limiting hole 111 can penetrate through both side surfaces of the base portion 110 in the thickness direction. The at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are convexly provided on one side surface of the push rod 3210 facing the movable contact assembly 3100. The at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are inserted into the at least two first limiting holes 111.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are provided on one side of the base 3211 of the push rod 3210 facing the static contact leading-out terminal 2000, and the at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are arranged side by side along the third direction D3.
It should be noted that, since the first anti-rotation structure 300 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 and the first limiting holes 111 that cooperate with each other, the shape of the first limiting holes 111 can be circular.
Of course, in other embodiments, the first anti-rotation structure 300 may further include one first limiting protrusion 3214 and one first limiting hole 111, and the shape of the first limiting holes 111 is a non-circular shape such as a rectangle, an ellipse, or a triangle. The first limiting protrusion 3214 is adapted to the shape of the first limiting holes 111 and inserted into the first limiting holes 111, to prevent the push rod 3210 and the elastic piece 100 from rotating relative to each other.
It can be understood that the first anti-rotation structure 300 can prevent the elastic piece 100 from rotating about an axis perpendicular to the plane in which the movable contact piece 3110 is located.
It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the first anti-rotation structure 300 may also include a riveted structure, a welded structure, an adhesive structure, etc. When the first anti-rotation structure 300 is a riveted structure, the base portion 110 is riveted to the push rod assembly 3200; When the first anti-rotation structure 300 is a welded structure, the base portion 110 is welded to the push rod assembly 3200; When the first anti-rotation structure 300 is an adhesive structure, the base portion 110 is adhesively bonded to the push rod assembly 3200.
