[0018] Compared with the prior art, the above solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] In the first technical solution, the armature assembly and the movable spring cooperate with the pushing member relative to each other along the X-axis direction, so that the contact part and the magnetic circuit part are located on both sides of the pushing member along the X-axis direction, and the pushing member is no longer arranged with the coil assembly along the Z-axis direction. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the height of the relay along the Z-axis direction is lower.
[0020] In the first technical solution, since the iron assembly and the movable spring cooperate with the pusher relative to each other along the X-axis direction, although such a relay reduces the height in the Z-axis direction, it also increases the difficulty of assembly. In order to reduce the difficulty of assembly, the first technical solution divides the relay into at least two units, and makes the magnetic circuit part and the contact part located in different units respectively. Therefore, the cooperation between the armature assembly and the pusher and the cooperation between the movable spring and the pusher are separated in time, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly.
[0021] In the first technical solution, each unit is plugged in and matched along the X-axis direction and relatively fixed, so that when the plugging is completed, the armature assembly or the movable spring and the pusher can be matched, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
[0022] In the second technical solution, when the cover is fixedly connected to the base, each unit can be prevented from being separated along the X-axis direction.
[0023] In the third technical solution, the swinging portion and the movable spring extend into the first matching hole and the second matching hole respectively and correspondingly, thereby achieving the matching and linkage with the pushing member.
[0024] In the fourth technical solution, the sliding groove of the base and the pushing member can cooperate with each other to improve the certainty of the movement direction of the pushing member, constrain the freedom of the pushing member in other directions, and make the pushing member less likely to be displaced or deformed when impacted in an uncertain direction, thereby improving the reliability of the relay.
[0025] In the fifth technical solution, by dividing the base into a first base body and a second base body, the first base body, the magnetic circuit part and the pushing part form a first combination body, the second base body and the contact part form a second combination body, and the first combination body and the second combination body are plugged in and matched along the X-axis direction, and the movable spring group is inserted into the second matching hole along the X-axis direction during the plug-in and matching process, the relay can be easier to assemble, and it can be avoided that the swing part and the movable spring group are simultaneously plugged in with the pushing member in directions opposite to each other.
[0026] In the fifth technical solution, by means of snap-fitting, the first assembly and the second assembly will not separate from each other along the X-axis direction before being fixed to the cover body.
[0027] In the sixth technical solution, the load terminal cooperates with the first limit block and the second limit block in the Z-axis direction, so that the first assembly and the second assembly are fixed relative to each other in the Z-axis direction. The load terminal is inserted between the first limit block and the second limit block in the X-axis direction, which can increase the flow area of the load terminal and is conducive to improving the load capacity.
[0028] In the seventh technical solution, the load terminal is matched with the first limit block and the second limit block in the Z-axis direction, and the length of the second limit block and the load terminal in the X-axis direction is less than the length of the first limit block and the load terminal in the X-axis direction, which is conducive to the end of the second assembly away from the first assembly in the X-axis direction being deflected downward relative to the first assembly, so that the second clamping block is disengaged from the first clamping block, thereby enabling the first assembly and the second assembly to be quickly disassembled. At the same time, since the length of the first limit block and the load terminal in the X-axis direction is relatively large, the part where the second assembly and the first assembly are plugged in to each other is less likely to sink due to the downward impact force in the Z-axis direction, thereby avoiding the plugged in part becoming a weak point after the relay is assembled.
[0029] In the eighth technical solution, the insert block cooperates with the corresponding two second limit blocks in the Y-axis direction, so that the first assembly and the second assembly are fixed relative to each other in the Y-axis direction. The first clamping block is arranged on the side of the second limit block, and the second clamping block is arranged on the side of the insert block, so that the connection strength between the first clamping block and the second clamping block is greater and it is more difficult to disengage.
[0030] In the ninth technical solution, the shell is provided with a sliding groove that slides with the sliding fitting part of the pushing member, which can improve the certainty of the movement direction of the pushing member and constrain the freedom of the pushing member in other directions, so that the pushing member is less likely to be displaced or deformed when impacted in an uncertain direction, thereby improving the reliability of the relay.
[0031] In the tenth technical solution, the coil winding extends along the Z-axis direction, which is beneficial to reducing the projection area of the relay on the projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction and reducing the board area occupied by the relay. The coil terminal passes through the coil frame and the first seat downward along the Z-axis direction, making it easier for the relay to be connected to the circuit board.
[0032] In the tenth technical solution, the support member is fixed relative to the coil assembly and is respectively located on both sides of the coil assembly along the Y-axis direction, which can effectively support the armature assembly so that the armature assembly can rotate relative to the coil assembly. The support member and the slot of the housing are plugged in and matched along the Z-axis direction, and the degree of freedom of the support member is completely restricted, which is more conducive to supporting the armature assembly so that the rotation axis of the armature assembly will not move along the X-axis direction. When the relay is impacted, the armature assembly with a larger mass can transmit the impact force to the support member, and the support member then transmits the force to the housing, so that the components are not easily displaced relative to each other.
[0033] In the tenth technical solution, the connection hole on the support member and the protrusion on the magnetic drive end are plugged and matched along the Y-axis direction, so that the support member can be more accurately positioned relative to the yoke. Since the support member is the movement reference of the armature assembly, when the armature assembly rotates relative to the coil assembly, the suction portion can be more accurately sucked with the magnetic drive end.
[0034] In the tenth technical solution, each load terminal passes through the second seat body downward along the Z-axis direction, so that the load terminal and the coil terminal both pass through the second seat body downward along the Z-axis direction, and thus it is easier to connect with the circuit board. However, in order to achieve the above effect, the base must be split into a first seat body and a second seat body plugged in along the X-axis direction, so that the dynamic spring and the armature assembly can cooperate with the pusher roughly along the X-axis direction.
[0035] In the eleventh technical solution, the magnetic circuit part is plugged and matched with the base along the X-axis direction, so that the swing part can extend into the first matching hole along the X-axis direction. When the cover body is fixedly connected to the base, the cover body is arranged outside the coil frame along the X-axis direction, which can prevent the coil frame from separating from the third assembly along the X-axis direction.
[0036] The twelfth technical solution and the thirteenth technical solution are other implementations of the present application, which can also prevent the swing part and the dynamic spring assembly from being plugged into the pushing member in directions opposite to each other at the same time.

The two convex shafts 224 extend away from each other along the Y-axis direction from both sides of the main body 223 along the Y-axis direction. The two protruding shafts 224 are used to establish a rotational connection relationship with the two supporting members 230.

The dynamic spring group 31 and the static contact group 32 in each switch 34 are respectively connected to different load terminals 33.

In this embodiment, the first load terminal 33a is fixedly connected and electrically connected to the first dynamic spring group 31a. The second load terminal 33b is fixedly connected and electrically connected to the second dynamic spring group 31b. The third load terminal 33c is fixedly connected and electrically connected to the first static contact group 32a and the second static contact group 32b to form a common terminal 330. In the present embodiment, each load terminal 33 is provided with a connecting portion 331 perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, and the connecting portion 331 is used to connect the static contact group 32 and / or the moving spring group 31.

[0104] See also Figures 11 to 17 , Figures 11 to 17The pushers 41 in this embodiment are shown. Each pusher 41 is attached to the first seat 110 and is located in the housing 10. In this embodiment, the pusher 41 moves relative to the housing 10 along the Z-axis direction. Fig.11 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, in this embodiment, the pusher 41 includes a base 410 and two sliding mating parts 411. The base 410 is provided with a first mating hole 412 and a second mating hole 413 from top to bottom along the Z-axis direction. The first mating hole 412 is for the swinging part 225 to extend away from the coil assembly 210. The second mating hole 413 is for the moving spring group 31 to extend toward the winding axis P along the X-axis direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mating direction of the swinging part 225 and the pusher 41 is substantially opposite to the mating direction of the moving spring group 31 and the pusher 41. The first mating hole 412 is provided with a first abutting part 414 and a second abutting part 415 suitable for abutting against the swinging part 225 from top to bottom on both sides along the Z-axis direction. Since in this embodiment, the movable contact group 314 is closed with the corresponding static contact group 32 downward along the Z-axis direction, and is disconnected with the corresponding static contact group 32 upward along the Z-axis direction, the swing portion 225 is downwardly abutted with the second abutting portion 415 in the closing stroke, and is upwardly abutted with the first abutting portion 414 in the disconnecting stroke. In this embodiment, the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 are both turned outward from the hole wall of the first matching hole 412 along the X-axis direction. The first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 are suitable for forming a smooth curved surface on the surface abutting with the swing portion 225, which is an arc surface in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the portion of the pusher 41 between the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 is bent in an upward direction toward a direction closer to the rotation axis Q, and the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 are turned outward in directions away from each other. Specifically, the first abutting portion 414 is turned outward toward the load terminal 33 along the X-axis direction, and the second abutting portion 415 is turned outward toward the rotation axis Q along the X-axis direction. Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, two sliding fitting parts 411 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 410 along the Y-axis direction. The part of the sliding fitting part 411 suitable for extending into the slide groove 113 is generally arc-shaped on the projection surface perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, and at least one inner concave part 411 is formed on the outer edge of the arc-shaped part, and the inner concave part 411 extends along the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the number of the inner concave parts 41 is two. Fig.14 and Fig.15As shown, the two sliding fitting parts 411 and the two slide grooves 113 of the housing 10 slide along the moving direction of the pusher 41, and in this embodiment, slide along the Z-axis direction. Due to the presence of the inward section 113c of the two slide grooves 113, the slide grooves 113 generally wrap the corresponding sliding fitting parts 411 extending into the slide grooves 113, and the two slide grooves 113 also limit the pusher 41 along the Y-axis direction. Each slide groove 113 is limited to the corresponding sliding fitting part 411 along the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, the base 410 is made of metal, specifically stainless steel, and is a sheet metal part. In other embodiments, it can also be a casting, and the metal material can also be selected from aluminum or aluminum alloy. The sliding fitting part 411 is made of plastic. The base 410 and the two sliding fitting parts 411 are molded as a whole by insert injection molding. The size of the sliding fitting part 411 along the X-axis direction is larger than the thickness of the base 410 along the X-axis direction. In other embodiments, only the portion of the base 410 suitable for contacting the movable spring assembly 31 is made of metal, that is, the two edges of the second matching hole 413 along the Z-axis direction are made of metal. In other embodiments, only the upper edge of the second matching hole 413 along the Z-axis direction is made of metal, and the upper edge is used to contact and push the movable spring assembly 31 to close the movable contact assembly 314 and the static contact assembly 32. In this embodiment, the upper edge is used to contact and push the elastic member 313 elastically deformed relative to the movable spring body 312 to close the movable contact assembly 314 and the static contact assembly 32. In other embodiments, the movable spring 310 only has the movable spring body 312, and the upper edge contacts and pushes the moving end 316 of the movable spring body 312 to close the movable contact assembly 314 and the static contact assembly 32.
[0105] See also Figures 16 to 20 , Figures 16 to 20 Schematic diagram of the internal structure and electrical structure of the relay 1 in this embodiment is shown. Fig.16 and Fig.17As shown, the first magnetic circuit unit 21a and the second magnetic circuit unit 21b are attached to the base 11 along the Z-axis direction. The two sliding fitting parts 411 of the first pusher 41a are respectively slidably matched with the corresponding slide grooves 113 along the Z-axis direction. The two sliding fitting parts 411 of the second pusher 41b are respectively slidably matched with the corresponding slide grooves 113 along the Z-axis direction. The first load terminal 33a, the second load terminal 33b and the third load terminal 33c are respectively fixed to the base 11. The first movable spring group 31a is fixed to the first load terminal 33a, and the second movable spring group 31b is fixed to the second load terminal 33b. The first static contact group 32a and the second static contact group 32b are respectively fixed to the third load terminal 33c. The swinging part 225 of the first magnetic circuit unit 21a extends into the first matching hole 412 of the first pusher 41a. The swinging part 225 of the second magnetic circuit unit 21b extends into the first matching hole 412 of the second pusher 41b. The moving ends 316 and elastic members 313 of each movable spring 310 of the first movable spring group 31a extend into the second matching hole 413 of the first push member 41a, and the moving ends 316 and elastic members 313 of each movable spring 310 of the second movable spring group 31b extend into the second matching hole 413 of the second push member 41b.
[0106] like Fig.18 As shown, after the relay 1 in this embodiment is connected, the first magnetic circuit unit 21a controls the first switch 34a to be closed or disconnected through the first pusher 41a, and the two ends of the first switch 34a are respectively connected to the first load terminal 33a and the third load terminal 33c, and the first switch 34a independently controls the connection and disconnection between the first load terminal 33a and the third load terminal 33c. The second magnetic circuit unit 21b controls the second switch 34b to be closed or disconnected through the second pusher 41b, and the two ends of the second switch 34b are respectively connected to the second load terminal 33b and the third load terminal 33c, and the second switch 34b independently controls the connection and disconnection between the second load terminal 33b and the third load terminal 33c. The first switch 34a and the second switch 34b must be closed at the same time, and the first load terminal 33a and the second load terminal 33b are conductive.
[0107] like Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, in this embodiment, no matter what the situation, the position where the pusher 41 abuts against the swinging portion 225 is closer to the rotation axis Q than the second matching hole 413 along the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, on the first projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, the projection of the sliding matching portion 411 overlaps at least partially with the projection of at least one load terminal 33. Specifically, the projection of the sliding matching portion 411 overlaps at least partially with the projection of the third load terminal 33c. Since the swinging portion 225 in this embodiment is configured so that the first intersection 229 is located above the rotation axis Q along the Z-axis direction, the sliding matching portion 411 and the third load terminal 33c will not collide along the Z-axis direction.
[0108] like Fig.19 As shown, when the switch 34 is in the off state, the moving contact 311 is disconnected from the static contact 320, the swing portion 225 abuts the first abutting portion 414 upward, and the lower edge of the second matching hole 413 abuts the moving end 316 upward. When the switch 34 needs to be closed, the swing portion 225 moves downward and abuts the second abutting portion 415, and the moving contact 311 contacts the static contact 320. After the moving contact 311 contacts the static contact 320, the swing portion 225 continues to move downward into the overtravel, and the push member 41 continues to move downward until the moving contact 311 contacts the static contact 320. Fig. 20 As shown, the swing part 225 moves downward to the limit. The elastic member 313 is deformed to the limit, and the moving contact 311 and the static contact 320 are completely closed. When the switch 34 needs to be disconnected, the swing part 225 abuts the first abutting part 414 upward, driving the push member 41 to move upward, and the lower edge of the second matching hole 413 of the push member 41 moves upward until it abuts the moving end 316 upward, and continues to drive the moving end 316 to move upward. At this time, the elastic member 311 recovers its deformation, and finally reaches the state shown in FIG. Fig.19 The switch 34 is shown in an open state.

[0114] Step 3: Cover the cover body onto the base 11 and fix it to the base 11 .
[0115] See also Fig.23 and Fig.24 , Fig.23 and Fig.24 It is shown that after the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 are plugged into place, the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 are relatively fixed. Fig.23 and Fig.24 As shown, during the plugging process of the first seat body 110 and the second seat body 120, the plug block 122 is inserted into the first gap 117 along the X-axis direction, and the first clamping block 118 and / or the second clamping block 126 are elastically deformed. After being plugged in place, the first clamping block 118 and the second clamping block 126 recover their deformation and hook each other, and are engaged along the X-axis direction. After being plugged in place, the plug block 122 is engaged with the corresponding two second limit blocks 116 in a limited position along the Y-axis direction. After being plugged in place, the third load terminal 33c extends into the gap between the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116 along the X-axis direction, and the third load terminal 33c is engaged with the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116 in a limited position along the Z-axis direction. In this embodiment, the third load terminal 33c is clearance-matched with the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116 along the Z-axis direction, and the length of the second limit block 116 and the third load terminal 33c along the X-axis direction is less than the length of the first limit block 115 and the third load terminal 33c along the X-axis direction, so that when the first assembly 51 or the second assembly 52 is subjected to a downward force in the Z-axis direction, the end of the second assembly 52 away from the first assembly 51 along the X-axis direction is allowed to deflect downward relative to the first assembly 51 until the second clamping block 126 is disengaged from the first clamping block 118 along the X-axis direction.
[0116] In this embodiment, when the cover is fixedly connected to the base 11 , the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 can be prevented from being separated along the X-axis direction.
[0117] In this embodiment, the magnetic circuit part 20, the contact part 30 and the push part 40 are all attached to the housing, and the magnetic circuit part 20 includes at least two magnetic circuit units 21, and the movable spring group 210, the static contact group 32 and the pusher 41 are all arranged corresponding to the magnetic circuit unit 20. Therefore, at least two switches that can be independently controlled are encapsulated in the housing 10 of a relay. Compared with the prior art, the material of the housing 10 is saved, the packaging volume of the relay 1 is reduced, and when more than two switch functions are realized, the space occupied is smaller than that of the prior art.
[0118] In this embodiment, at least one load terminal 33 is shared by at least two switches 34 to form a common terminal 330. The common terminal 330 reduces the number of load terminals 33, improves the integration of the load terminals 33, and can further reduce space occupation and reduce costs. It can also be applied to most scenarios through the flexible connection between the load terminal 33 and each movable spring group 31 and the static contact group 32.
[0119] In this embodiment, the common terminal 330 is a load terminal 33, which can be electrically connected to an external circuit or not electrically connected to an external circuit. When the external circuit is connected, at least two external circuits can be controlled through the common terminal 330, or a parallel relationship can be established, or a total circuit and branch control can be established; when the external circuit is not electrically connected, the common terminal 330 becomes a component that bridges more than two switches 34, so that more than two switches 34 form a series relationship; therefore, it can be flexibly applied to various scenarios through different wiring methods. Since each switch 34 is controlled separately, this series relationship or parallel relationship enables the two switches to form a logical relationship of "and" or "or", which can not only be applied to simple logical calculations, but also to scenarios with higher requirements for safety and reliability, avoiding uncontrolled switches due to failure of a single functional part formed by the magnetic circuit unit 21, the pusher 41, the dynamic spring group 31 and the static contact group 32.
[0120] The electrical connection relationship inside the relay 1 in this embodiment can be selected according to customer needs, especially the loading method of the external circuit, so that the relay has greater versatility.
[0121] In this embodiment, each coil terminal 213 and each load terminal 33 extends downward along the Z-axis direction to facilitate electrical connection with the circuit board.
[0122] In this embodiment, the winding axis P of the coil winding 212 extends along the Z-axis direction, which is consistent with the extension direction of each coil terminal 213 and each load terminal 33 , thereby reducing the board area occupied by the relay 1 .
[0123] In this embodiment, each magnetic circuit unit 21 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, each movable spring group 31 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, each pusher 41 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the magnetic circuit part 20 and the contact part are arranged along the X-axis direction, so that each functional part is arranged perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, and each functional part is arranged along the Y-axis direction. The functional parts do not need to be staggered in space with each other, which reduces the structural complexity and reduces the difficulty of assembly.
[0124] In this embodiment, the dynamic spring assembly 31 includes at least two dynamic springs 310, which can reduce the total contact resistance between the dynamic contact 311 and the static contact 320, reduce heat generation, and reduce power consumption.
[0125] In this embodiment, each movable spring 310 is provided with a movable contact 311. Compared with the solution in which the same movable spring 310 is provided with multiple movable contacts, it can avoid that some movable contacts 311 cannot be effectively closed with the static contact 320 when the movable spring 311 moves, or it can avoid that some movable contacts 310 cannot be subjected to uniform force when closing, thereby increasing the contact resistance.
[0126] In this embodiment, by disposing an elastic member 313 between the movable spring body 312 and the pushing member 41 , the pushing member 41 can achieve an overtravel, and the movable contact 311 can be more reliably closed with the static contact 320 .
[0127] In this embodiment, the pusher 41 directly pushes the moving end 316 of the moving spring body 312 to drive the moving contact 311 to disconnect from the static contact 320, and the breaking time is shorter, so the arcing time is shorter and the life of the relay 1 is longer.
[0128] In this embodiment, the elastic member 313 is a compression spring connected to the dynamic spring body 312. Compared with the elastic member 313 connected to the dynamic spring body 312 in other ways or other forms of elastic members 313, the elastic member 313 has stronger impact resistance and can prevent the elastic member 313 from being offset relative to the dynamic spring body 312 due to impact.
[0129] In this embodiment, the elastic member 313 and the dynamic spring body 312 are connected to the position of the moving contact 311, so that the force of the elastic member 313 during deformation can be more effectively transmitted to the moving contact 311, the moving contact 311 can be more reliably closed with the static contact 320, and the load capacity of the relay 1 is higher.
[0130] In this embodiment, the two support members 230 are fixed relative to the coil assembly 210 and are respectively located on both sides of the coil assembly 210 along the Y-axis direction, and can effectively support the armature assembly 220 so that the armature assembly 220 can rotate relative to the coil assembly 210 .
[0131] In this embodiment, the connection hole 231 on the support member 230 and the protrusion 217 on the magnetic drive end 216 are plugged and matched along the Y-axis direction, so that the support member 230 can be more accurately positioned relative to the yoke 215. Since the support member 230 is the movement reference of the armature assembly 220, when the armature assembly 220 rotates relative to the coil assembly 210, the suction portion 226 can be more accurately suctioned with the magnetic drive end 216.
[0132] In this embodiment, the armature assembly 220 also includes a permanent magnet 221, and the two armatures 222 are respectively connected to the two magnetic poles of the permanent magnet 221, so that the relay 1 has a magnetic holding function. The relay 1 can be controlled to change and maintain the open or closed state only through a pulse electrical signal, saving electric energy.
[0133] In this embodiment, the main body 223, two convex shafts 224, the swinging part 225, two armatures 222 and the permanent magnet 221 are integrally formed by insert injection molding. The armature assembly 220 is easier to manufacture and is less likely to cause loss of motion stroke due to tolerance accumulation.
[0134] In this embodiment, the movable spring group 31 extends along the X-axis direction, which can reduce the height of the contact part 30 along the Z-axis direction, which is more conducive to saving space of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction, and is also conducive to increasing the contact gap between the moving contact 311 and the static contact 320 along the Z-axis direction, thereby improving the voltage resistance of the relay 1.
[0135] In this embodiment, the two slide grooves 113 are respectively slidably matched with the pusher 41 along the Z-axis direction, and the groove walls of the two slide grooves 113 are limitedly matched with the pusher along the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction. It can improve the certainty of the movement direction of the pusher 41, restrict the freedom of the pusher 41 in other directions, and make it less likely for the pusher 41 to move or deform along the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction when subjected to uncertain impact, thereby improving the reliability of the relay 1.
[0136] In this embodiment, the groove wall surface of the slide groove 113 is farthest from the bottom of the other slide groove 113 along the Y-axis direction and is located at the arc segment 113b, which is more conducive to resisting the impact force of the pushing member 41 along the Y-axis direction, so that the impact force is dispersed to the shell 10, and the arc segment 113b can automatically correct the posture of the pushing member 41 when the pushing member 41 is subjected to an impact force of uncertain direction.
[0137] In this embodiment, the straight section 113a is provided to facilitate the guiding of the pusher 41 when it is inserted into the slide groove 113 along the Z-axis direction. The distance between the vertex of the retracted section 113c and the straight section 113a is smaller than the diameter of the arc section 113b, and the sector angle of the arc section 113b is greater than 180 degrees, which can maintain the stability of the arc section 113b and make the arc section 113b not easily deformed.
[0138] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a slide groove 113 that slides with the sliding fitting part 411 of the pushing member 41. The two slide grooves 113 slide with the sliding fitting part 41 along the Z-axis direction respectively. The groove wall surfaces of the two slide grooves 113 are limitedly fitted with the two sliding fitting parts 41 along the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction. In addition, the groove wall surfaces of the slide grooves 113 are provided with an inward portion 113c, so that when the pushing member 41 deflects on the plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis, the deflection amount is effectively limited, which can improve the certainty of the movement direction of the pushing member 41, constrain the freedom of the pushing member 41 in other directions, and make the pushing member less likely to displace or deform when it is impacted in an uncertain direction, thereby improving the reliability of the relay 1.
[0139] In this embodiment, the dimension of the sliding fitting portion 411 along the X-axis direction is larger than the thickness of the base 410 along the X-axis direction, which is more conducive to the sliding fitting portion 411 and the slide groove 113 having the same fitting clearance, so that the push member 41 is less likely to deflect along the X-axis direction to cause jamming and change the contact point with the movable spring 310 to avoid the travel of the movable contact 311 deviating from the design purpose, ensuring the spacing between the movable contact 311 and the static contact 320, thereby ensuring the voltage resistance of the relay 1.
[0140] In this embodiment, an inner concave portion 411a is provided on the arc surface of the sliding fitting portion 411 that is suitable for extending into the slide groove 113, so that the contact area between the sliding fitting portion 411 and the groove wall surface of the slide groove 113 is smaller, less prone to friction or jamming, and smoother sliding.
[0141] In this embodiment, the third load terminal 33c is partially located below the sliding fitting portion 411, which is beneficial to increase the flow area of the third load terminal 33c as the common terminal 330, achieve greater load-bearing capacity, and reduce heat generation. The first intersection 229 is located above the rotation axis Q, that is, the swing portion 225 is biased upward relative to the main body 223, so that the sliding fitting portion 411 is not easy to interfere with the load terminal 33 located below it, and the movement stroke of the pusher 41 is easier to ensure, which can increase the distance between the moving contact 311 and the static contact 320 and enhance the pressure resistance.
[0142] In the present embodiment, all positions where the push member 41 contacts the swinging portion 225 are closer to the rotation axis Q along the X-axis direction than the second matching hole 413 (i.e., the position where the push member 41 contacts the moving spring assembly 31), which is beneficial for reducing the movement stroke of the push member 41 along the Z-axis direction while ensuring the spacing between the moving contact 311 and the static contact 320, and is particularly beneficial for lowering the highest point of the movement stroke of the push member 41, which is beneficial for ensuring that the highest point does not exceed the highest point of the coil assembly 210, and thus is beneficial for saving the height of the relay 1 in the Z-axis direction.
[0143] In this embodiment, the first matching hole 412 has a first abutting portion 414 and a second abutting portion 415 respectively on both sides along the Z-axis direction from top to bottom, which are suitable for abutting against the swinging portion 225, and the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 are both turned outward from the hole wall of the first matching hole 412 along the X-axis direction, so that the contact point between the swinging portion 225 and the pushing member 41 can move along the turning method, which is beneficial to reduce the scraping between the swinging portion 225 and the pushing member 41 made of metal or the base 410 of the pushing member 41.
[0144] In this embodiment, by providing the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 turned outward along the X-axis direction, it is advantageous to make the pusher 41 thinner, and it can also ensure that it always correctly abuts against the swinging portion 25, which is advantageous to realize the miniaturization of the relay 1 and is also advantageous for the swinging portion 225 to always abut against the second abutting portion 415 at the lowest point, thereby ensuring that when the pusher 41 enters the overtravel through the elastic member 313 after the moving contact 311 contacts the static contact 320, the overtravel is along the travel direction of the pusher 41, so that the moving contact always reliably presses against the static contact. The surfaces of the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 suitable for contacting with the swinging portion 225 are both smooth curved surfaces, the friction coefficient between the pusher 41 and the swinging portion 225 is smaller, and the life of the swinging portion 225 is longer.
[0145] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the first abutting portion 414 and the second abutting portion 415 suitable for contacting the swinging portion 225 are both smooth curved surfaces, the friction coefficient between the pushing member 41 and the swinging portion 225 is smaller, and the life of the swinging portion 225 is longer.
[0146] In this embodiment, the pusher 41 is partially bent between the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415, which can reduce the size of the pusher 41 along the Z-axis direction, and is more conducive to realizing the above-mentioned function when the space in the Z-axis direction is small. In particular, when the swing portion 225 is biased upward relative to the main body 223, since the distance along the X-axis direction when the swing portion 225 swings upward to the highest point and swings downward to the lowest point will become larger, the pusher 41 is partially bent between the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415, so that when the swing portion 225 swings upward to the highest point and swings downward to the lowest point, it can properly abut with the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415, so that the moving contact 311 can be correctly closed or disconnected with the static contact 320.
[0147] In this embodiment, when the pushing member 41 is partially bent between the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415, the outward directions of the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415 diverge from each other, which is beneficial for making the contact point between the swing portion 225 and the first abutment portion 414 and the second abutment portion 415 closer along the X-axis direction, thereby avoiding a large reciprocating force on the pushing member 41 along the X-axis direction when the swing portion 225 drives the pushing member 41 to move.
[0148] In this embodiment, the magnetic circuit part 20, the contact part 30 and the push part 40 are all attached to the base 11, and the movement relationship between them is more accurate with the base 11 as the reference. The packaging is realized by covering the base 11 along the Z-axis direction, and the assembly is simpler.
[0149] In this embodiment, the support member 230 is not only plugged and matched with the protrusion 217 of the magnetic drive end 216 along the Y-axis direction, but also plugged and matched with the slot 113 of the housing 10 along the Z-direction. The degree of freedom of the support member 230 is completely restricted, which is more conducive to supporting the armature assembly 220, so that the rotation axis Q of the armature assembly 220 will not move along the X-axis direction, and when the relay 1 is impacted, the armature assembly 220 with a larger mass can transmit the impact force to the support member 230 through the convex shaft 224, and the support member 230 then transmits the force to the housing 10, so that the components are not easily displaced relative to each other.
[0150] In the present embodiment, since the swing portion 225 and the movable spring assembly 31 are respectively plugged into the first matching hole 413 and the second matching hole 413 on the pushing member 41 in directions substantially opposite to each other, the base 11 is divided into a first base body 110 and a second base body 120. The first base body 110 forms a first assembly 51 with the magnetic circuit portion 20 and the pushing portion 40, and the second base body 120 forms a second assembly 51 with the contact portion 30. The first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 are plugged in and matched along the X-axis direction, so that the movable spring assembly 31 is inserted into the second matching hole 413 along the X-axis direction during the plug-in and matching process. This can make the relay 1 under the configuration of the present application easier to assemble, and can prevent the swing portion 225 and the movable spring assembly 31 from being simultaneously plugged in and matched with the pushing member 41 in directions substantially opposite to each other.
[0151] In this embodiment, the first clamping block 118 and the second clamping block 126 are engaged with each other, so that the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 will not be separated from each other along the X-axis direction before being fixed to the cover.
[0152] In this embodiment, the load terminal 33 is limited along the Z-axis direction with the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116, so that the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 are fixed relative to each other along the Z-axis direction. The load terminal 33 is inserted between the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116 along the X-axis direction, which can increase the flow area of the load terminal 33 and help improve the load capacity.
[0153] In this embodiment, the load terminal 33 is matched with the first limit block 115 and the second limit block 116 in the Z-axis direction, and the length of the second limit block 116 and the load terminal 33 in the X-axis direction is less than the length of the first limit block 115 and the load terminal 33 in the X-axis direction, which is conducive to the end of the second assembly 52 away from the first assembly 51 in the X-axis direction by deflecting downward relative to the first assembly 51, so that the second clamping block 126 and the first clamping block 118 are disengaged, so that the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 can be quickly disassembled. At the same time, since the length of the first limit block 115 and the load terminal in the X-axis direction is relatively large, the part where the second assembly 52 and the first assembly 51 are plugged into each other is less likely to sink due to the downward impact force in the Z-axis direction, avoiding the plugged-in part from becoming a weak point after the relay 1 is assembled.
[0154] In this embodiment, the insert block 122 cooperates with the corresponding two second limiting blocks 116 along the Y-axis direction to limit the first assembly 51 and the second assembly 52 relative to each other along the Y-axis direction.
[0155] In this embodiment, the first clamping block 118 is disposed on the side of the second limiting block 116, and the second clamping block 126 is disposed on the side of the inserting block 122, so that the connection strength between the first clamping block 118 and the second clamping block 126 is greater and less likely to be disengaged.
[0156] In this embodiment, the portion of the pusher 41 suitable for contacting the dynamic spring group 31 is made of metal. In other embodiments, the portion of the pusher 41 suitable for contacting and pushing the moving contact 311 of the dynamic spring 310 and the static contact 320 to close is made of metal. Therefore, when the external current load is large and causes the dynamic spring group 31 to generate a large amount of heat, compared with the technical solution of using plastic material for the portion in contact with the dynamic spring group 31, it can avoid the pusher 41 from softening or even melting due to the heat of the dynamic spring group 31, causing the closing stroke of the dynamic spring group 31 to be inconsistent with the design, resulting in a decrease in the load capacity of the relay 1, thereby improving the load capacity and reliability of the relay 1.
[0157] In this embodiment, the portion of the pusher 41 that contacts the movable spring assembly 31 and the portion that contacts the armature assembly 220 are both formed on the base 410 . The base 410 is made of metal, which can also prevent the pusher 41 from softening or even melting due to the heat generated by the movable spring assembly 31 .
[0158] In this embodiment, the sliding fit portion 411 slides with the housing 10, which can improve the certainty of the movement direction of the push member 41, constrain the freedom of the push member 41 in other directions, and make the push member less likely to displace or deform when impacted in an uncertain direction, thereby improving the reliability of the relay 1.
[0159] In this embodiment, the sliding fitting part 411 is made of plastic material, which is easier to slide with the housing 10 made of the same plastic material, and is not easy to produce scraps to cause jamming or deflection. The sliding fitting part 411 and the base 410 are integrally molded by insert injection molding, with higher dimensional accuracy and smaller dimensional tolerance.
[0160] In this embodiment, when the substrate 41 is a stainless steel sheet metal part, it is easier to process and shape, has a simpler structure, higher strength, and is more conducive to miniaturized design; when the substrate 41 is an aluminum casting or an aluminum alloy casting, it is easier to process and shape, has a lower density, higher strength, and lower cost.
[0161] In this embodiment, the other two load terminals 33 except the common terminal 330 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, which is consistent with the arrangement direction of each dynamic spring group 31 and is easier to connect with the dynamic spring group 31.
[0162] In this embodiment, the portion of the common terminal 330 that extends downward is located in the middle of the base 11 along the Y-axis direction, so that the space utilization rate is higher.
[0163] In this embodiment, each load terminal 33 is provided with a connection portion 331 perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, so that the load terminal 33 can be laid flat along the X-axis and the Y-axis, which can not only reduce the height of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction, but also increase the current-carrying area of the load terminal 33, improve the load capacity of the relay 1, and is particularly suitable for use in a large current environment, such as a large current environment with a load current of 80A. At this time, by providing a common terminal 330, the structure of the relay 1 can be made more compact and occupy less space when the multi-channel control function is realized in a large current environment.
[0164] In this embodiment, by arranging the connection parts 331 of the three load terminals 33 in two layers along the Z-axis direction, all switches 34 are located between the two layers of connection parts 331, which is beneficial to reducing the height of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction and fully utilizing the space in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.
[0165] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 331 of the common terminal 330 is provided with a first arm 332 and a second arm 333 extending away from each other along the X-axis direction and respectively corresponding to the magnetic circuit units, so that the common terminal 330 has a larger current-carrying area when occupying one of the two layers along the Z-axis direction.
[0166] In this embodiment, the connection parts 331 of the two other load terminals 33 are farther away from the magnetic circuit part than the first arm and the second arm along the X-axis direction. Therefore, the three load terminals 33 use less materials, have lower costs, and have a more compact structure.
[0167] In this embodiment, the assembly method of the relay 1 can prevent the swing portion 225 and the movable spring assembly 31 from being plugged into the pusher 41 in directions opposite to each other at the same time.
[0168] In this embodiment, the magnetic circuit unit 21 is assembled first, and then the magnetic circuit unit 21 and the corresponding pushing member 41 are mounted to the first seat body 110 along the Z-axis direction, so that when the magnetic circuit part 20 and the pushing part 40 are assembled to the first seat body 110, it is mainly carried out along the Z-axis direction, and the assembly process is simpler.
[0169] Embodiment 2
[0170] See also Fig.25 , Fig.25 FIG. 4 shows the pusher 41 in the second embodiment. Fig.25 As shown, in this embodiment, the pusher 41 also has a base 410 and two sliding fitting parts 411, but the pusher 41 is made of metal as a whole, and can be made of stainless steel sheet metal, aluminum casting or aluminum alloy casting. In this embodiment, a casting aluminum process is used. Since the sliding fitting part 411 is made of metal, the inner wall of the slide groove 113 in contact with the sliding fitting part 411 can be made of metal to avoid scraping. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0171] In this embodiment, the pushing member 41 is made entirely of metal, which has higher strength and is less susceptible to being affected by the heat generated by the dynamic spring assembly.
[0172] In this embodiment, when the pusher 41 is a stainless steel sheet metal part, it is easier to process and shape, has a simpler structure, higher strength, and is more conducive to miniaturized design; when the pusher is an aluminum casting or an aluminum alloy casting, it is easier to process and shape, has a lower density, higher strength, and lower cost.
[0173] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.
[0174] Embodiment 3
[0175] See also Fig.26 and Fig. 27 , Fig.26 and Fig. 27 FIG. 2 shows the internal structure of the relay 1 in the third embodiment. Fig.26 and Fig. 27As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the base 11 in this embodiment is no longer divided into a first base body 110 and a second base body 120, but is connected as a whole. The end of the base 11 away from each load terminal 33 along the X-axis direction is provided with a plug-in slot extending along the X-axis direction, and the base 11 is no longer provided with a slot 112. During assembly, the base 11, the contact portion 30 and the push portion 40 together form a third assembly 53. In each magnetic circuit unit 21, the connection hole 231 of the support member 230 is interference-fitted with the corresponding protrusion 217. When each magnetic circuit unit 21 is assembled to the third assembly 53, the coil frame 211 of each magnetic circuit unit 21 is plugged and matched with the plug-in slot on the base 11 along the X-axis direction. After each magnetic circuit unit 21 is plugged in place, the swing portion 225 extends into the first matching hole 412 away from the rotation axis Q. After being plugged in place, the third assembly 53 is limitedly matched with each magnetic circuit unit 21 along the Z-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. Afterwards, the cover body is placed on the base 11 and each magnetic circuit unit 21 so that the cover body is arranged outside each coil frame 211 along the X-axis direction. The base 11 and the cover body can prevent the magnetic circuit unit 21 from detaching from the third assembly 53 along the X-axis direction.
[0176] The assembly method in this embodiment is another assembly method of the relay 1 under this configuration. The magnetic circuit unit 21 is plugged and matched with the base 11 along the X-axis direction, so that the swing part 225 can be away from the rotation axis Q and extend into the first matching hole. It can also avoid that the swing part 225 and the movable spring group 31 are plugged with the pusher 41 in directions opposite to each other at the same time. In this case, the coil terminal 211 no longer penetrates the base 11, but only penetrates the coil frame 211. When the cover body is fixedly connected to the base 11, the cover body is arranged outside the coil frame 211 along the X-axis direction, which can prevent the coil frame 211 from detaching from the third assembly 53 along the X-axis direction.
[0177] In this embodiment, the support member 230 is prevented from being assembled to the base 11 along the Z-axis direction by interference fit between the support member 230 and the protrusion 217, so that the entire magnetic circuit unit 21 can be smoothly assembled to the third assembly 53 along the X-axis direction.
[0178] The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.
