TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of relays, in particular to a miniaturized magnetic latching relay with double switching. BACKGROUND
[0002] As an electronic control device, the relay is used to control large current by small current, and is widely used in automatic control circuit, and plays a role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and switching in the circuit. The magnetic latching relay is one of the relays, and its feature is that the opening and closing state of the contact is completely dependent on the action of the permanent magnet. When the opening and closing state of the contact needs to be switched, only a pulse electrical signal of a certain width needs to be applied to the coil to complete the switching, and then the permanent magnet keeps the state of the contact.
[0003] In the field of power supply application, the magnetic latching relay is a low-energy device, and is widely used in power management modules. With the urgent demand for the reliability and self-protection of the circuit, a magnetic latching relay with two switching switches is usually selected, the main switch is responsible for opening and closing the main load circuit, and the auxiliary switch is responsible for diagnosing the contact state of the main load circuit. When the main contact part is abnormal, the auxiliary contact system can judge the opening or closing state of the main contact, and feed back the signal, and the device can take corresponding action according to the signal to protect the safe operation of the device.
[0004] In the prior art magnetic latching relay with double switching, in one case, the moving spring of the auxiliary contact part is fixed on the armature support, and this structure of the magnetic latching relay causes the magnetic circuit part and the auxiliary contact part to have a small electrical insulation distance, so that the application range of the auxiliary contact part is limited. In another case, the main contact part and the auxiliary contact part are driven by the pushing blocks arranged on both sides of the relay, and the main contact part and the auxiliary contact part are designed in the lower part of the base in sequence. Although this relay can improve the electrical insulation capability of the contact system and the magnetic circuit system, and can realize the narrow width of the relay, the disadvantage is that since the two switching switches are arranged in the lower cavity of the base, the low height and miniaturization design of the relay cannot be realized. Therefore, the magnetic latching relay with two switching switches in the prior art cannot achieve both high electrical strength and small size, and the demand for small size and high electrical strength of the magnetic latching relay with double switching is very urgent in the market.

[0059] In the embodiment, the main contact part 3 comprises a main active spring part 32 and a main passive spring part 33. The main active spring part 32 comprises the main active spring leaf 31, a main active contact 34 and an active spring lead-out leaf 35. The main passive spring part 33 comprises a main passive spring leaf 331 and a main passive contact 332 fixed on the main passive spring leaf 331. The main passive spring leaf 331 and the active spring lead-out leaf 35 are respectively installed in the lower cavity 13 of the base 1. The active spring lead-out leaf 35 is in a substantially L-shaped form. The vertical side 351 of the L-shaped form of the active spring lead-out leaf 35 leads outwards. The end of the horizontal side 352 of the L-shaped form of the active spring lead-out leaf 35 is riveted to the main active spring leaf 31 and fixed, so that the main active contact 34 installed on the main active spring leaf 31 is correspondingly matched with the main passive contact 332 installed on the main passive spring leaf 331. The main active spring leaf 31 is composed of a first spring leaf 311 and a second spring leaf 312 stacked together. The one end of the first spring leaf 311 and the second spring leaf 312 stacked together is provided as a root part and is riveted to the end of the horizontal side 352 of the L-shaped form of the active spring lead-out leaf 35. The other end of the first spring leaf 311 and the second spring leaf 312 stacked together is provided as an active contact fixing part for fixing the main active contact 34. The first spring leaf 311 and the second spring leaf 312 are respectively provided with small tabs at the end of the other end, i.e. the first spring leaf 311 is provided with a small tab 3111 at the end of the other end, and the second spring leaf 312 is provided with a small tab 3121 at the end of the other end. The lower end of the main push block 5 is provided with a convex groove 52, and the small tab 3111 of the first spring leaf 311 and the small tab 3121 of the second spring leaf 312 are respectively matched in the convex groove 52 of the main push block 5.
[0060] In the embodiment, the first spring leaf 311 and the second spring leaf 312 stacked together are arranged with the second spring leaf 312 on top and the first spring leaf 311 on bottom, and the small tab 3111 of the first spring leaf 311 and the small tab 3121 of the second spring leaf 312 are also arranged in a stacked position. The width of the small tab 3111 of the first spring leaf 311 is A, the width of the small tab 3121 of the second spring leaf 312 is B, and the following relationship is satisfied: B
[0061] In the first reed 311, a U-shaped slot 3112 is arranged around the moving contact at a position beside the fixed contact, and the opening of the U shape is arranged at the side of the end of the other end of the first reed 311, so that the end of the other end of the first reed 311 can be separated and deformed relative to the moving contact. The end of the small tab 3111 of the first reed 311 is also provided with a bending part 3113 bent downward by 45° to 90°, which is hooked outside the convex slot 52 of the main push block 5; and the middle of the first reed 311 is also provided with a U-shaped bending part 3114.
[0062] When the main push block 5 moves downward, the stepped surface 522 in the middle of the convex slot 52 of the main push block 5 first contacts the upper surface of the small tab 3111 of the first reed 311, pushes the other end of the first reed 311 and the second reed 312 stacked together, i.e. the end containing the moving contact 34, to move downward, so that the moving and stationary contact gap gradually decreases, the reed reaction force is small in this process, and the part outside the moving contact of the other end of the first reed 311 and the second reed 312 does not change significantly from the initial flat state; when the moving and stationary contacts start to contact, the first reed 311 continues to move downward, and the second reed 312 does not move any more because the moving and stationary contacts have completely contacted, so that the end of the other end of the first reed 311 and the part outside the moving contact of the other end of the second reed 312 gradually separate, i.e. the small tabs 3111 and 3121 of the first reed 311 and the second reed 312 gradually separate, and at the same time, because the main push block 5 continues to move downward, the top surface 521 of the convex slot 52 of the main push block 5 gradually approaches the small tab 3121 of the second reed 312 until they contact, in this stage, the first reed 311 changes the deformation support point of the reed from the head of the moving reed to the contact point, so that the reed reaction force is large; when the main push block 5 continues to move downward, the top surface 521 of the convex slot 52 and the stepped surface 522 in the middle of the convex slot 52 of the main push block 5 simultaneously push the first reed 311 and the second reed 312 to contact and move, compared with the previous stage, the part outside the moving contact of the other end of the second reed 312 also deforms, so that the reaction force in this stage is large again, so that there are three slope sections in the whole stroke, and at the same time, because the end of the second reed 312 is also subjected to the pushing force, the deformation of the reed 312 will twist the moving contact, and the moving and stationary contacts will obviously misalign, which can easily cause the problem of contact sticking for large inrush current, and the contact misalignment of this mode can obviously improve the problem of contact sticking, so that the reliability of the relay is obviously improved.
[0063] In this embodiment, the auxiliary contact portion 4 includes an auxiliary dynamic spring portion 42 and an auxiliary static spring portion 43, the auxiliary dynamic spring portion 42 includes the auxiliary dynamic spring piece 41 and the auxiliary dynamic contact 44; the auxiliary static spring portion 43 includes an auxiliary static spring piece 431 and an auxiliary static contact 432 fixed on the auxiliary static spring piece 431; the auxiliary static spring piece 431 and the auxiliary dynamic spring piece 41 are respectively installed in the second side cavity 17 of the base 1; the auxiliary dynamic spring piece 41 is L-shaped, and the horizontal side 411 of the L-shaped shape of the auxiliary dynamic spring piece 41 is distributed along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the coil 21, and the vertical side 412 of the L-shaped shape is installed on the bottom In the second side cavity 17 of the seat 1; the free end of the L-shaped horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41 is set as an auxiliary moving contact fixing portion for fixing the auxiliary moving contact 44, and a square through groove 413 is provided in the L-shaped horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41 corresponding to the inner section of the auxiliary moving contact fixing portion, and the lower end of the auxiliary pushing block 6 is provided with a step 62 and a hook head 63; the hook head 63 at the lower end of the auxiliary pushing block 6 passes through the square through groove 413 of the auxiliary moving spring 41 and hooks under the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41, and the step 62 of the auxiliary pushing block 6 is limited above the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41. When the auxiliary pushing block 6 moves downward, the step 62 of the auxiliary pushing block 6 pushes the end of the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41 to move downward. When the auxiliary pushing block 6 moves upward, the hook head 63 of the auxiliary pushing block 6 pushes the end of the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary moving spring 41 to move upward. This matching structure of the auxiliary moving spring 41 and the auxiliary pushing block 6 is simple to assemble. The auxiliary pushing block 6 realizes six-directional (up and down, left and right, front and back) limiting, which can prevent the auxiliary pushing block 6 from escaping from the auxiliary moving spring 41, thereby improving the relay's ability to resist impact and fall.

[0065] In this embodiment, the armature rotating block assembly 25 includes the armature 22 and a rotating block 26 made of plastic material; the rotating block 26 is installed in the middle of the armature 22, and the central rotating shaft 251 is provided on the rotating block 26; the rotating block 26 is in an inverted U-shape, and the central rotating shaft 251 is provided at the two side walls 261 of the inverted U-shape of the rotating block 26; the inverted U-shaped top wall 262 of the rotating block 26 is also provided with an extended plate 263, and a through hole 264 is provided in the middle of the extended plate 263 of the rotating block 26, and a square oblique convex bud 222 is provided in the middle of the armature 22 corresponding to the through hole of the extension plate, and the rotating block 26 is assembled on the armature 22 and the through hole 264 of the rotating block 26 is engaged with the square oblique convex bud 222 of the armature 22.

[0067] See also Figure 31As shown in the figure, M1 is the suction force curve during the setting process, M2 is the suction force curve during the reset process, M3 is the reaction force curve of the active spring of the main contact part, M4 is the reaction force curve of the auxiliary spring of the auxiliary contact part, and M5 is the combined reaction force curve of the main and auxiliary springs of the main and auxiliary contact parts. Adding the auxiliary contact part (i.e., the auxiliary switch) can improve the balance of reaction forces: in the reset state, the suction force of the coil voltage excitation and the magnetic force of the permanent magnet are zero (point C), so the armature movement relies on the reaction force of the spring. Without the auxiliary switch, the reaction force value is point A, with a certain degree of reaction force. After adding the auxiliary switch, the reaction force value increases to point B. The larger reaction force value can reduce the armature movement time (improve sensitivity), quickly connect the main contact part contacts, and quickly disconnect the auxiliary contact part contacts, reducing the arc burning time between the contacts and improving contact reliability. In the set state, applying the reset voltage, because the reaction force of the auxiliary spring is relatively small at this time, has little effect on the disconnection of the main contact part contacts. Because the return suction force D is much greater than the reaction force B, it has little effect on the connection of the auxiliary contact portion. Compared to a system with only the main contact portion, the addition of the auxiliary contact portion increases the reaction force in the return state (point B). While the return suction remains unchanged, the combined force of the suction and reaction forces (DA becomes DB) decreases, reducing the impact force between the armature and the yoke in the return state, thereby reducing noise and improving the customer experience. The main function of the coordinated structure of the main push block and the dynamic spring is to improve the reliability of the main contact. Because this structure can increase the reaction force, it also has the effect of increasing the sensitivity of the return action.

The axis of the coil 21 in the magnetic circuit portion 2 is arranged horizontally. The armature 22 in the magnetic circuit portion 2 is arranged along the axis of the coil 21 and moves in a seesaw-like manner above the coil 21. The armature 22 extends beyond the ends of the coil 21 at both ends. The main push block 5 and the auxiliary push block 6 are located outside the ends of the coil 21, and the upper ends of the main push block 5 and the auxiliary push block 6 are suspended from the ends of the armature 22. The lower ends of the main push block 5 and the auxiliary push block 6 respectively engage with the corresponding main contact portion 3 and the auxiliary contact portion 4 at the bottom of the base 1. This structure of the present invention utilizes symmetrical and vertical distribution of the main push block and the auxiliary push block on both sides of the coil.

[0070] The present invention discloses a miniaturized magnetic latching relay with a dual-switch configuration. The active reed 31 in the main contact portion 3 is designed to be composed of a first reed 311 and a second reed 312 stacked together. The first reed 311 and the second reed 312 each have small protrusions 3111 and 3121 extending outward from their respective ends. The lower end of the main push block 5 is provided with a convex groove 52, and the small protrusions 3111 and 3121 of the first reed 311 and the second reed 312 respectively fit into the convex groove 52 of the main push block 5. This structure of the present invention ensures that the reed reaction force remains constant at the beginning of the main push block's stroke and increases at the end, increasing the pressure between the moving and static contacts and causing a shifting effect during contact. This ensures reliable operation of the relay within the normal coil excitation voltage range and enables reliable connection and rapid disconnection of the contacts, thereby significantly improving the reliability of the relay.

A square through-slot 413 is provided in the L-shaped horizontal side of the auxiliary movable spring, corresponding to the inner portion of the auxiliary movable contact fixing portion. The lower end of the auxiliary pusher 6 is provided with a step 62 and a hook 63. The hook 63 passes through the square through-slot 413 of the auxiliary movable spring 41 and hooks under the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary movable spring 41. The step 62 of the auxiliary pusher 6 is positioned above the horizontal side 411 of the auxiliary movable spring 41. This structure has the advantages of a small number of parts, a simple structure, contactless assembly of the auxiliary pusher and auxiliary movable spring, reducing assembly debris, and high component assembly efficiency. After assembly, the pusher can be positioned in six directions.
