AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing relays, the moving end driven by electromagnetic or mechanical means is connected to the moving contact in one area, resulting in poor stability of the moving contact movement and small contact disconnection distance.

Method used

Two sets of symmetrically arranged racks are connected to the copper plate. The copper plate is driven to move through a guide shaft and a drive gear system to ensure balanced thrust. The moving speed is adjusted by a worm gear transmission, and the stability is improved by a ceramic bracket and guide rod structure. The arc is extinguished by a magnet.

Benefits of technology

This achieves a balance between the stability of copper plate movement and the disconnection distance between contacts, enhancing the relay's operational stability and contact spacing, and reducing the impact of electric arc.
