The metal cover 5000 and the yoke plate 1200 enclose a chamber for accommodating the static iron core 4300 and the moving iron core 4400 of the magnetic circuit part 4000.
[0158] The magnetic circuit part 4000 includes a coil frame 4100, a coil 4200, a static iron core 4300, a moving iron core 4400 and a reset member 4500.

The moving iron core 4400 is movably disposed in the metal cover 5000 and is disposed opposite to the static iron core 4300 along the axial direction of the rod 3212. The moving iron core 4400 is connected to the rod 3212 and is used to be attracted by the static iron core 4300 when the coil 4200 is energized. The moving iron core 4400 and the rod 3212 can be connected by screwing, riveting, welding or other methods.

The reset member 4500 can be a spring and is sleeved on the outside of the rod 3212.
[0160] It should be noted that when the coil 4200 is energized, the magnetic circuit portion 4000 can drive the rod portion 3212 to push the push rod assembly 3200 to move upward. When the moving spring 3110 contacts the static contact lead-out terminal 2000, the moving spring 3110 is stopped by the static contact lead-out terminal 2000, while the rod portion 3212 and the base 3211 will continue to move upward until the overtravel is completed.
[0161] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the relay of the embodiment of the present application further includes a first magnetic conductor 6100. The movable reed 3110 has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction D2. The first side faces the static contact lead-out terminal 2000, and the second side faces away from the static contact lead-out terminal 2000. The first magnetic conductor 6100 is arranged on the first side of the movable reed 3110 and is arranged in the contact chamber 1001.
[0162] When the movable spring assembly 3100 only includes the movable spring piece 3110 but does not include the second magnet 6200, after the movable spring piece 3110 is energized, the first magnet 6100 is magnetized, thereby forming a suction force on the movable spring piece 3110 in the direction of contact closure, and the suction force can resist the electromotive repulsion between the movable spring piece 3110 and the static contact lead-out terminal 2000 due to the short-circuit current, thereby preventing the movable spring piece 3110 and the static contact lead-out terminal 2000 from bouncing apart, thereby achieving the purpose of resisting short circuit.
[0163] When the dynamic spring assembly 3100 includes the dynamic spring piece 3110 and the second magnetic conductor 6200 , the second magnetic conductor 6200 is fixedly connected to the dynamic spring piece 3110 , and the second magnetic conductor 6200 is used to form a magnetic conductive circuit with the first magnetic conductor 6100 .
[0164] When both ends of the moving reed 3110 contact a pair of stationary contact lead-out terminals 2000, the second magnetizer 6200 moving together with the moving reed 3110 approaches or contacts the first magnetizer 6100, thereby forming a magnetic conductive loop around the moving reed 3110 between the first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200. When a short-circuit current passes through the moving reed 3110, a magnetic attraction force in the contact pressure direction is generated between the first magnetizer 6100 and the second magnetizer 6200, and the magnetic attraction force can resist the electromotive repulsion force generated by the short-circuit current between the moving reed 3110 and the stationary contact lead-out terminals 2000, thereby ensuring that the moving reed 3110 and the stationary contact lead-out terminals 2000 do not bounce apart.
[0165] It is understandable that the second magnetic conductor 6200 and the movable spring piece 3110 can be fixedly connected by riveting, but it is not limited thereto.
[0166] The first magnetic conductor 6100 and the second magnetic conductor 6200 may both be in a straight line shape or a U-shape. The first magnetic conductor 6100 and the second magnetic conductor 6200 may be made of magnetic conductive materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof.
[0167] In which, when the dynamic spring assembly 3100 includes multiple dynamic spring pieces 3110 arranged side by side, the number of first magnetic conductors 6100 can be multiple, and the number of first magnetic conductors 6100 corresponds to the number of dynamic spring pieces 3110, and the multiple first magnetic conductors 6100 are respectively located on one side of the multiple dynamic spring pieces 3110 facing the static contact lead-out end 2000.
[0168] Of course, in other embodiments, when the dynamic spring assembly 3100 includes a plurality of dynamic spring pieces 3110 arranged side by side, the number of the first magnetic conductor 6100 may be one, and the first magnetic conductor 6100 spans across the plurality of dynamic spring pieces 3110 in the third direction D3.
[0169] The first magnetic conductor 6100 may be connected to the contact container 1000 via two connectors 6300 . One end of the two connectors 6300 is connected to the contact container 1000 , and the other end of the two connectors 6300 is connected to the first magnetic conductor 6100 .
[0170] It can be understood that the first magnetic conductor 6100 is connected to the contact container 1000 through the connecting piece 6300, so that the magnetic attraction force for resisting short circuit is transferred to the contact container 1000. Since the contact container 1000 is a stationary component, there is no need for excessive coil holding force, thereby reducing the power consumption of the coil of the relay and the volume of the relay, and improving the short circuit resistance.
[0171] In one embodiment, the connecting member 6300 is rod-shaped, one axial end of the connecting member 6300 is fixedly connected to the ceramic cover 1110 of the insulating cover 1100 , and the other axial end of the connecting member 6300 is connected to the first magnetic conductor 6100 .
[0172] In the embodiment of the present application, a third through hole 1111 is formed on the top wall of the ceramic cover 1110 of the contact container 1000, and the connector 6300 is passed through the third through hole 1111. The connection between the axial end of the connector 6300 and the ceramic cover 1110 can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as welding, riveting, screwing, bonding, etc. The connection between the other end of the connector 6300 and the first magnetic conductor 6100 can also be implemented in a variety of ways, such as welding, riveting, screwing, bonding, clamping, etc.
[0173] It can be understood that when one end of the connector 6300 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110 by welding, by welding the connector 6300 to the top wall of the ceramic cover 1110, the metallization layer can be processed only on the periphery of the third through hole 1111 on the outer wall surface of the top wall, without the need to process the metallization layer on the inner wall surface of the top wall, which facilitates processing and simplifies the processing steps.
[0174] It is understandable that one end of the connector 6300 may be connected to the outer wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110 , may be connected to the inner wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110 , or may be connected to both the outer wall surface and the inner wall surface of the ceramic cover 1110 .
[0175] In the embodiment of the present application, one end of the connecting member 6300 is connected to the periphery of the third through hole 1111 of the ceramic cover 1110 .
[0176] It can be seen from this that the first magnetic conductor 6100 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110 through the connecting piece 6300. On the one hand, the magnetic attraction force to resist short circuit is transferred to the ceramic cover 1110, so there is no need for excessive coil holding force, thereby reducing the power consumption of the coil of the relay and the volume of the relay, and improving the short circuit resistance. On the other hand, since the connecting piece 6300 is connected to the ceramic cover 1110, it will not occupy too much space in the contact chamber 1001, thereby ensuring the arc extinguishing space of the arc extinguishing assembly and the activity space of the push rod.
[0177] In addition, the first magnetic conductor 6100 is connected to the rod-shaped connecting member 6300, so that a variety of connection methods can be used between the first magnetic conductor 6100 and the connecting member 6300, such as riveting, laser welding, clamping, gluing, etc., which enriches the connection methods.
[0178] As an example, the connecting member 6300 is a solid rod. In this way, the connecting member 6300 and the first magnetic conductor 6100 can be connected by riveting, making the connection more reliable. In addition, the solid rod has a higher support strength and is less prone to deformation.
[0179] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Fig.18 As shown, the relay also includes a limit assembly 300, which is connected to the dynamic spring assembly 3100 and the push rod assembly 3200, and is used to limit the dynamic spring assembly 3100 from rotating relative to the push rod assembly 3200 around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200, and the limit assembly 300 can be deformed to adapt to overtravel.
[0180] It is understandable that the connection between the limit assembly 300 and the push rod assembly 3200 can be direct or indirect. When the limit assembly 300 is indirectly connected to the push rod assembly 3200, the limit assembly 300 can be connected to the push rod assembly 3200 through the elastic assembly 3230, that is, the elastic assembly 3230 is directly connected to the push rod assembly 3200, and the limit assembly 300 is directly connected to the elastic assembly 3230.
[0181] The relay of the embodiment of the present application includes a dynamic spring assembly 3100, a push rod 3210, a limit assembly 300 and an elastic assembly 3230. The elastic assembly 3230 can provide contact pressure, and the limit assembly 300 can limit the rotation of the dynamic spring assembly 3100 relative to the push rod 3210, thereby ensuring the consistency of the contact positions of the dynamic and static contacts, enhancing the stability of the contact resistance, and improving the reliability of the relay.
[0182] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the limit assembly 300 can limit the dynamic spring assembly 3100 to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane where the dynamic spring assembly 3100 is located. That is, the limit assembly 300 can limit the dynamic spring assembly 3100 to rotate around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200 relative to the push rod assembly 3200.
[0183] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic component 3230 is a first elastic spring 100. As an example, the first elastic spring 100 is a sheet structure made of a metal material and is formed by bending.
[0184] The first elastic spring 100 is mounted on the base 3211 of the push rod 3210 through the first anti-rotation structure 200 , and abuts against a side surface of the movable spring 3110 of the movable spring assembly 3100 facing the push rod 3210 .
[0185] The first elastic spring 100 is disposed on the second side of the movable spring 3110, and includes a first base 110 and a spring arm 120. The first base 110 is mounted on the push rod 3210 through the first anti-rotation structure 200, and at least one spring arm 120 is disposed at both ends of the first base 110 along the first direction D1; the spring arms 120 at both ends of the first base 110 in the first direction D1 are respectively abutted against the two ends of the movable spring assembly 3100 in the first direction D1.
[0186] In the embodiment of the present application, the spring arms 120 at two ends of the first base portion 110 along the first direction D1 are respectively in contact with two ends of the movable spring piece 3110 .
[0187] It can be understood that since the spring arms 120 at both ends of the first elastic spring 100 are supported on both ends of the movable spring 3110, the movable spring 3110 and the second magnet 6200 can be stably installed on the push rod 3210, avoiding the shaking of the movable spring 3110 and the second magnet 6200, and further avoiding the problem of uneven contact pressure due to the shaking of the movable spring 3110 and the problem of affecting the short-circuit resistance due to the shaking of the second magnet 6200.
[0188] The first elastic spring 100 and the dynamic spring assembly 3100 together form a receiving chamber 500, and the limiting assembly 300 is received in the receiving chamber 500. By arranging the limiting assembly 300 in the receiving chamber 500, the structure of the dynamic assembly 3000 can be made more compact, which is conducive to miniaturization of the relay.
[0189] like Figure 5 As shown, at least two spring arms 120 arranged side by side along the third direction D3 are provided at both ends of the first base 110 in the first direction D1, and the two corresponding spring arms 120 of the first elastic spring leaf 100 in the first direction D1 respectively abut against the two ends of a movable spring leaf 3110 in the first direction D1.
[0190] In the embodiment of the present application, two spring arms 120 arranged side by side along the third direction D3 are provided at both ends of the first base 110 in the first direction D1. The two spring arms 120 at one end of the first base 110 in the first direction D1 respectively abut against one end of two movable spring pieces 3110 arranged side by side, and the two spring arms 120 at the other end of the first base 110 in the first direction D1 respectively abut against the other end of the two movable spring pieces 3110 arranged side by side.
[0191] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, each movable spring piece 3110 corresponds to a pair of spring arms 120, so that when the contact gaps of the plurality of movable spring pieces 3110 and the static contact lead-out ends are inconsistent, the plurality of movable spring pieces 3110 will not interfere with each other.
[0192] like Figure 7 As shown, each spring arm 120 includes an extension portion 121 and a contact portion 122, wherein the extension portion 121 is connected to the first base portion 110, and the contact portion 122 is connected to one end of the extension portion 121 away from the first base portion 110, and contacts the end of the movable spring piece 3110 in the first direction D1; wherein the width of the end of the extension portion 121 connected to the first base portion 110 is greater than the width of the end of the extension portion 121 connected to the contact portion 122. Furthermore, the width of the extension portion 121 decreases from the first base portion 110 to the contact portion 122.
[0193] In the embodiment of the present application, the first elastic spring 100 includes a first base 110 and a spring arm 120. Since the width of the extension portion 121 of the spring arm 120 decreases from the first base 110 to the abutment portion 122, that is, the width of the extension portion 121 gradually narrows, the structural strength of the spring arm 120 can be reduced to make the spring arm 120 softer; in the initial stage of overtravel, after the movable spring 3110 and the static contact lead-out terminal 2000 just come into contact, the spring arm 120 will not provide excessive elastic force to avoid mismatching of the suction and reaction forces; in addition, just because the width of the extension portion 121 gradually narrows, the weight of the first elastic spring 100 can be slightly reduced; in addition, since the width of the extension portion 121 decreases, the spring arm 120 can reserve enough space in the third direction D3 for setting other structures.
[0194] Furthermore, the width of the first base portion 110 is greater than the width of the extension portion 121. Since the first base portion 110 is connected to the push rod 3210, and the width of the first base portion 110 is relatively large and greater than the width of the extension portion 121, the structural strength of the first base portion 110 of the first elastic spring 100 can be ensured, so that the first elastic spring 100 can be firmly connected to the push rod 3210.
[0195] In addition, the root of the extension 121 is wide, and the mechanical strength is better, which is conducive to improving the fatigue resistance of the first elastic spring 100. The extension 121 is set to gradually narrow, so that the stiffness coefficient of the first elastic spring 100 changes nonlinearly, reducing the elastic reaction force in the initial stage, and avoiding the mismatch of the suction reaction force at the beginning of the overtravel. In addition, as the first elastic spring 100 is gradually compressed, its progress coefficient becomes larger and larger, ensuring that it can provide a sufficiently large contact pressure.
[0196] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the first anti-rotation structure 200 includes at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 and at least two first limiting holes 111. The first limiting protrusion 3214 is provided on one of the first base 110 and the push rod assembly 3200, and the first limiting hole 111 is provided on the other of the first base 110 and the push rod assembly 3200. The at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are respectively inserted into the at least two first limiting holes 111 to achieve an anti-rotation effect.
[0197] In the embodiment of the present application, at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 are protruded from a surface of the push rod 3210 facing the movable spring assembly 3100 ; and at least two first limiting holes 111 are disposed on the first base portion 110 .
[0198] In the embodiment of the present application, the first anti-rotation structure 200 includes two first limiting protrusions 3214 and two first limiting holes 111. The two first limiting protrusions 3214 are convexly disposed on a side surface of the base 3211 facing the dynamic spring assembly 3100, and the two first limiting protrusions 3214 are arranged side by side along the third direction D3 and are respectively inserted into the two first limiting holes 111.
[0199] It should be noted that, since the first anti-rotation structure 200 of the embodiment of the present application includes at least two first limiting protrusions 3214 and a first limiting hole 111 that cooperate with each other, the shape of the first limiting hole 111 can be circular.
[0200] Of course, in other embodiments, the first anti-rotation structure 200 may also include a first limiting protrusion 3214 and a first limiting hole 111, and the shape of the first limiting hole 111 is a non-circular shape such as a rectangle, an ellipse, or a triangle. The first limiting protrusion 3214 is adapted to the shape of the first limiting hole 111, and is inserted into the first limiting hole 111, which can prevent the push rod 3210 and the first elastic spring 100 from rotating relative to each other.
[0201] It can be understood that the first anti-rotation structure 200 is used to limit the first elastic spring 100 from rotating relative to the pushing rod assembly 3200 around the axis of the pushing rod assembly 3200 .
[0202] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the first anti-rotation structure 200 may also include a riveted structure, a welded structure, an adhesive structure, etc. When the first anti-rotation structure 200 is a riveted structure, the first base 110 is riveted to the push rod assembly 3200; when the first anti-rotation structure 200 is a welded structure, the first base 110 is welded to the push rod assembly 3200; when the first anti-rotation structure 200 is an adhesive structure, the first base 110 is adhesively bonded to the push rod assembly 3200.
[0203] In another embodiment, the first anti-rotation structure 200 may further include a fastener, which fastens the first elastic spring 100 and the push rod assembly 3200 .
[0204] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting component 300 is a second elastic spring 300a, which can be a sheet structure made of metal material and formed by bending. The second elastic spring 300a is connected to one of the elastic component 3230 and the dynamic spring component 3100 through the second anti-rotation structure 400, and is connected to the other of the elastic component 3230 and the dynamic spring component 3100 through the third anti-rotation structure 700.
[0205] In the embodiment of the present application, the second elastic spring 300 a is connected to the first base 110 through the second anti-rotation structure 400 , and is connected to the dynamic spring assembly 3100 through the third anti-rotation structure 700 .
[0206] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the second anti-rotation structure 400 includes at least two second limiting protrusions 410 and at least two second limiting holes 311. The second limiting protrusions 410 are provided on one of the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300a, and the second limiting holes 311 are provided on the other of the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300a.
[0207] In the embodiment of the present application, each second limiting protrusion 410 is a convex ring 112. At least two convex rings 112 are provided on a side surface of the first base 110 facing the dynamic spring assembly 3100, and one convex ring 112 surrounds one first limiting hole 111; the inner annular surface 112b of the convex ring 112 is flush with the hole wall of the first limiting hole 111; at least two second limiting holes 311 are provided on the second elastic spring sheet 300a; wherein, at least two convex rings 112 are respectively inserted into at least two second limiting holes 311.
[0208] In the embodiment of the present application, the second anti-rotation structure 400 includes two protruding rings 112 and two second limiting holes 311 .
[0209] It should be noted that, since the second anti-rotation structure 400 of the embodiment of the present application includes at least two mutually matching protruding rings 112 and the second limiting hole 311 , the shape of the second limiting hole 311 can be circular.
[0210] Of course, in other embodiments, the second anti-rotation structure 400 may also include a convex ring 112 and a second limiting hole 311, and the second limiting hole 311 is in a non-circular shape such as a rectangle, an ellipse, or a triangle. The convex ring 112 is inserted into the second limiting hole 311 to prevent the second elastic spring 300a and the first elastic spring 100 from rotating relative to each other.
[0211] It can be understood that the second anti-rotation structure 400 is used to limit the second elastic reed 300 a from rotating relative to the first elastic reed 100 around the axis of the push rod assembly 3200 .
[0212] In one embodiment, the convex ring 112 is formed by folding the edge of the first limiting hole 111 of the first base 110 toward the direction close to the dynamic spring assembly 3100. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the convex ring 112 at the edge of the first limiting hole 111, the friction between the first limiting protrusion 3214 and the first base 110 can be reduced when the first base 110 and the push rod 3210 are assembled, and the generation of scraps can be prevented. At the same time, the convex ring 112 cooperates with the second limiting hole 311 of the second elastic spring 300a, and can also prevent the second elastic spring 300a from rotating relative to the first elastic spring 100. In addition, the folded convex ring 112 can increase the contact area between the first limiting protrusion 3214 and the first base 110, and reduce the wear between the first limiting protrusion 3214 and the first base 110 during movement.
[0213] like Fig.10 As shown, the convex ring 112 is provided with a top surface 112a facing away from the first base 110, and a chamfer 113 is provided at the connection between the top surface 112a and the inner ring surface 112b. By providing the chamfer 113 at the connection between the top surface 112a and the inner ring surface 112b, burrs generated during the molding process of the convex ring 112 can be eliminated, and scraps can be further prevented from being generated between the first limiting protrusion 3214 and the inner ring surface 112b of the convex ring 112.
[0214] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the second anti-rotation structure 400 may also include a riveted structure, a welded structure, an adhesive structure, etc. When the second anti-rotation structure 400 is a riveted structure, the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300a are riveted; when the second anti-rotation structure 400 is a welded structure, the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300a are welded; when the second anti-rotation structure 400 is an adhesive structure, the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300a are adhesively bonded.
[0215] In another embodiment, the second anti-rotation structure 400 may further include a fastener, which fastens the first elastic spring 100 and the second elastic spring 300 a .
[0216] Please return to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second elastic spring 300a is arranged on the second side of the dynamic spring assembly 3100. The second elastic spring 300a includes a second base 310, a deformation portion 320 and a connecting portion 330. The second base 310 is installed on one of the first elastic spring 100 and the dynamic spring assembly 3100 through a second anti-rotation structure 400. The second base 310 is provided with a deformation portion 320 and a connecting portion 330 on both sides along the first direction D1, and the second base 310 is connected to the connecting portion 330 through the deformation portion 320; the connecting portion 330 is connected to the other of the first elastic spring 100 and the dynamic spring assembly 3100 through a third anti-rotation structure 700.
[0217] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting portion 330 of the second elastic spring piece 300a is connected to the dynamic spring assembly 3100 through the third anti-rotation structure 700, and the second base 310 is installed on the first base 110 of the first elastic spring piece 100 through the second anti-rotation structure 400, so that the second elastic spring piece 300a can position the dynamic spring assembly 3100 in the second direction D2, and limit the dynamic spring assembly 3100 in the first direction D1 and the third direction D3, so that the second elastic spring piece 300a can limit the dynamic spring assembly 3100, avoid the dynamic spring assembly 3100 from rotating relative to the push rod 3210, and thus avoid the dynamic and static contacts from being unable to align and affecting the reliability of the relay. In addition, the dynamic spring assembly 3100 is limited by the second elastic spring piece 300a, avoiding the ripple sound generated by the contact between the dynamic spring assembly 3100 and the contact bracket when the dynamic spring assembly 3100 is energized.
[0218] In addition, since the dynamic spring assembly 3100 does not rotate, it can reduce or even prevent the dynamic spring assembly 3100 from contacting the side wall of the contact bracket 3220 to a certain extent, thereby avoiding the generation of large corrugation sound (metal friction noise). In addition, it avoids the increase in the number of frictions and the aggravation of the wear, which leads to an increase in the deflection force and friction resistance. Furthermore, it can also reduce the metal particles generated by the mutual friction between the dynamic spring assembly 3100 and the contact bracket 3220, reduce the probability of metal particles falling on the contact surface of the contact point, and thus reduce the quality risk of increasing the contact resistance or even non-conduction.
[0219] In the over-travel process, the push rod 3210 continues to move toward the dynamic spring assembly 3100. At this time, the deformation portion 320 is compressed and deformed, which does not affect the over-travel.
[0220] In addition, since the first elastic spring 100 is used to provide contact pressure, and the second elastic spring 300a does not need to provide contact pressure, the thickness of the second elastic spring 300a can be smaller than the thickness of the first elastic spring 100, thereby reducing the stress at the bend of the second elastic spring 300a and avoiding fatigue fracture of the second elastic spring 300a.
[0221] In the embodiment of the present application, along the first direction D1, two deformation parts 320 and two connection parts 330 are provided on both sides of the second base 310. One side of the second base 310 is connected to the two connection parts 330 through the two deformation parts 320. The two deformation parts 320 located on one side of the second base 310 are arranged side by side along the third direction D3. The two connection parts 330 located on one side of the second base 310 are fixedly connected to the two dynamic spring assemblies 3100 respectively.
[0222] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, each movable spring piece 3110 corresponds to a pair of connecting parts 330, so that when the contact gaps of the plurality of movable spring pieces 3110 and the static contact lead-out ends are inconsistent, the plurality of movable spring pieces 3110 will not interfere with each other.
[0223] like Figure 6 As shown, along the first direction D1, the connecting portion 330 on one side of the second base 310 forms a first connection 700a with the dynamic spring assembly 3100, and the connecting portion 330 on the other side of the second base 310 forms a second connection 700b with the dynamic spring assembly 3100. There is a first distance L1 between the first connection 700a and the second connection 700b, and there is a second distance L2 between the deformation portions 320 on both sides of the second base 310, and the first distance L1 is smaller than the second distance L2. The second distance L2 is the maximum distance between the deformation portions 320 on both sides of the second base 310.
[0224] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first distance L1 is smaller than the second distance L2, during the overtravel process, the second elastic spring 300a is compressed by the push rod 3210 and the dynamic spring assembly 3100, so that the deformation parts 320 on both sides of the second base 310 can be deformed in a direction away from each other (the deformation parts 320 on both sides expand outward), thereby preventing the second elastic spring 300a from being stuck and unable to provide contact pressure. In addition, since the first distance L1 is smaller than the second distance L2, the deformation parts 320 on both sides of the second base 310 are equivalent to bending in a direction close to each other as a whole, which can reduce the overall volume of the second elastic spring 300a and reduce the space occupancy rate.
[0225] Of course, in other embodiments, when the internal space of the relay is large enough, the first distance L1 may also be greater than the second distance L2.
[0226] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the third anti-rotation structure 700 includes at least two third limiting protrusions 710 and at least two third limiting holes 720. The at least two third limiting protrusions 710 are arranged on one of the second elastic spring piece 300a and the dynamic spring assembly 3100, and the at least two third limiting holes 720 are arranged on the other of the second elastic spring piece 300a and the dynamic spring assembly 3100. The at least two third limiting protrusions 710 are respectively inserted into the at least two third limiting holes 720.
[0227] In the embodiment of the present application, there are four third limiting holes 720 and four third limiting protrusions 710. The four third limiting holes 720 are respectively provided on the four connecting parts 330, and the four third limiting protrusions 710 are provided on the two second magnetic conductors 6200, and each second magnetic conductor 6200 is provided with two third limiting protrusions 710.
[0228] It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the third anti-rotation structure 700 may also include a riveted structure, a welded structure, an adhesive structure, etc. When the third anti-rotation structure 700 is a riveted structure, the second base 310 is riveted to the first elastic spring 100 or the dynamic spring assembly 3100; when the third anti-rotation structure 700 is a welded structure, the second base 310 is welded to the first elastic spring 100 or the dynamic spring assembly 3100; when the third anti-rotation structure 700 is an adhesive structure, the second base 310 is adhesively bonded to the first elastic spring 100 or the dynamic spring assembly 3100.
[0229] In another embodiment, the third anti-rotation structure 700 may further include a fastener, which fastens and connects one of the first elastic spring 100 and the dynamic spring assembly 3100 to the second elastic spring 300 a .
[0230] In one embodiment, the elastic component 3230 is connected to the push rod component 3200 in a limited position along the first direction D1; and / or, the limit component 300 is connected to the dynamic spring component 3100 in a limited position along the first direction D1; and / or, the limit component 300 is connected to the elastic component 3230 in a limited position along the first direction D1. In this way, the amplitude of the dynamic spring component 3100 moving relative to the push rod component 3200 in the first direction D1 can be reduced, thereby improving the overall impact resistance of the relay.
[0231] Preferably, the elastic component 3230 is connected to the push rod component 3200 in a limited position along the first direction D1, and the limit component 300 is connected to the dynamic spring component 3100 in a limited position along the first direction D1, and the limit component 300 is connected to the elastic component 3230 in a limited position along the first direction D1. In this way, when the relay encounters a large impact, there will be no displacement between the moving contact and the static contact, avoiding unstable contact resistance.
[0232] In another embodiment, the third limiting hole 720 is elliptical in shape, and the major axis of the ellipse is parallel to the first direction D1. By designing the third limiting hole 720 to be elliptical, before the moving and static contacts come into contact, the third limiting protrusion 710 is limited to the outer edge of the third limiting hole 720, so that the dynamic spring assembly 3100 does not move. After the moving and static contacts come into contact, the second elastic spring 300a is compressed, and the connecting parts and the deforming parts on both sides of the second base 310 have a tendency to move to both sides. At this time, the elliptical third limiting hole 720 can provide space for the connecting part 330 to move, so as to release the stress generated inside the second elastic spring 300a after being compressed, and prevent the internal stress of the second elastic spring 300a from being too concentrated and affecting its service life.
[0233] In addition, it is worth noting that since the distance that the connecting portion 330 moves within the ellipse is small, it does not affect the relative position of the moving contact and the static contact.
[0234] It can be understood that the first anti-rotation structure 200 , the second anti-rotation structure 400 and the third anti-rotation structure 700 can be the same or different.

[0236] In the second embodiment, the second elastic spring 300a includes a second base 310, a deformation portion 320 and a connecting portion 330.

Therefore, in the following description of the relay of the sixth embodiment, the structure already described in the first embodiment is not repeated. In addition, the same reference symbols are given to the same structures as those of the relay described in the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description of this embodiment, the differences from the relay of the first embodiment are mainly described.
