Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of relays, in particular to a high-voltage direct current relay with auxiliary contacts. Background Art

[0002] 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. It 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. Most of the high-voltage DC relays in the prior art adopt a dynamic spring direct-acting scheme (also known as a solenoid direct-acting scheme). The contact part of this DC relay includes two static contacts and a dynamic component. The dynamic component includes a dynamic spring part and a push rod assembly. The dynamic spring part is composed of a dynamic spring and dynamic contacts at both ends of the dynamic spring. The dynamic spring is a direct-acting type. When the dynamic contacts at both ends of the dynamic spring are in contact with the two static contacts (i.e., the load lead-out terminals), the current flows in from one of the static contacts and flows out from the other static contact after passing through the dynamic spring. With the rapid development of new energy, some applications in new energy vehicles and charging supporting equipment, photovoltaic / wind power generation systems, engineering vehicles, UPS and other fields. In the automotive market, the mileage required is getting higher and higher, so the space utilization of the battery is optimized as much as possible. In the early stage, high-voltage inspection is more used for relay adhesion. Currently, more and more customers require the relay itself to have an auxiliary contact function. A high-voltage DC relay with auxiliary contacts in the prior art is to fix two auxiliary contact lead-out terminals on the top wall of the ceramic cover and extend their respective bottom ends into the cavity of the ceramic cover, and the two auxiliary contact lead-out terminals are symmetrically distributed between the two static contacts (i.e., the main static contacts). When the main contact is disconnected, an arc is generated, resulting in the metal particles with greater heat being scattered irregularly in the ceramic cavity after the arc is broken, thereby causing the auxiliary contact structure to be contaminated, and in severe cases, it may be ablated and damaged, thereby affecting the use function of the auxiliary contact structure. Summary of the invention
