Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of relays, and in particular to a direct-acting DC relay. Background Art

[0002] A DC relay in the prior art adopts a direct-acting magnetic circuit structure, that is, two static contact lead-out terminals (also load lead-out terminals) are respectively arranged on the top of the relay, and the bottom ends of the two static contact lead-out terminals are set as static contacts, the current flows into one of the static contact lead-out terminals, and the current flows out of the other static contact lead-out terminal, and a moving spring and a push rod component are provided below the two static contact lead-out terminals. The moving spring adopts a straight-type moving spring (also called a bridge-type moving spring), and the two ends of the moving spring are set as moving contacts. The moving spring is installed in the push rod component through a spring, and the push rod component is connected to the direct-acting magnetic circuit at the bottom of the relay. Under the action of the direct-acting magnetic circuit, the push rod component drives the moving spring to move upward, so that the two ends of the moving spring are respectively in contact with the bottom ends of the two static contact lead-out terminals, thereby connecting the load. In the prior art, the DC relay of this type, since the coil frame is located in the middle and lower part of the relay, the coil lead pin is usually led out from the middle part of the DC relay, that is, from the upper flange of the coil frame to the side, or from the lower flange of the coil frame to the side from the bottom of the relay. This will cause the load end of the relay, the mounting foot screw fixation and the installation direction of the connector to be in different directions, which is not conducive to the human-machine interaction of the client automation equipment. Alternatively, it is led upward from the bottom of the relay. Although it ensures that the load end of the relay, the mounting foot screw fixation and the installation direction of the connector are in one direction, when it is installed in the battery pack and the client automation manipulator installs the connector, in order to ensure that the automated assembly process does not interfere, sufficient assembly space is required, which will cause the battery pack to be too large. If it is bent upward from the middle, since the coil lead pin is in a suspended state at the bent position, the upper end of the coil lead pin is used as a plug-in connector during use, which is easy to cause the connector lead pin to deform during the plug-in process, and then cause the connection failure. Summary of the invention

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. The present invention adopts a method that the lead-out portion of the coil lead-out pin is led upward from the middle position of the relay, and the lead-out portion of the coil lead-out pin includes a horizontal section led from the coil frame corresponding to the middle position of the relay and an upward lead-out section bent upward from the outer end of the horizontal section; the upper end of the upward lead-out section and the surrounding wall of the upper shell form a plug-in connector; the relay is also provided with a support portion, and the support portion is supported below the horizontal section of the lead-out portion of the coil lead-out pin.

[0023] 2. The present invention adopts a support part as a separate part of the bracket, and the bracket is installed between the upper shell and the lower shell. This structure of the present invention sets the support part as a separate component, which will neither interfere with the coil winding nor affect the installation of the coil lead-out part.

[0024] 3. The present invention adopts a cross-shaped design for the cross section of the bracket, and grooves are provided in the upper shell or the lower shell at positions corresponding to the two opposite convex strips of the bracket to form the guide rail. In this structure of the present invention, the cross-shaped bracket can make the bracket structure more reliable, and the two opposite convex strips therein conveniently match with the guide rail, i.e., the groove, of the upper shell or the lower shell, so as to facilitate the bracket to be installed in the upper shell or the lower shell.

[0025] 4. The present invention adopts the method of providing first convex buds for interference fit on both sides of the lower section of the convex strip, and also providing a one-way chamfer in the first convex bud along the direction in which the bracket is installed into the upper shell or the lower shell. This structure of the present invention can prevent the bracket from swinging in the upper shell or the lower shell by utilizing the interference fit of the first convex bud with the groove of the upper shell or the lower shell at the end of the bracket being installed into the upper shell or the lower shell, and the straight edge section of the one-way chamfer in the first convex bud plays a role in preventing errors. If the bracket is installed in reverse, it cannot be installed into the upper shell, thus playing a role in preventing the bracket from being installed in the wrong way.

[0026] 5. The present invention adopts the upper housing, and at the bending position corresponding to the lead-out portion of the coil lead-out pin, a guide angle is also provided to prevent the lead-out pin from scratching the bent portion of the lead-out portion of the coil lead-out pin.

After the guide angle is set, the guide angle will compensate for a certain size contrast, thereby preventing the coil lead-out pin from scratching with the upper housing to produce plastic chips and affecting the performance of the relay.

[0027] 6. The present invention adopts a step provided on the second bulge, and uses the lower surface of the second bulge to support the convex edge of the upper flange of the coil frame, and uses the upper surface of the second bulge to support the coil lead pins, so that the support of the coil lead pins by the bracket is more effective and reliable.
