Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a four-pole linkage electromagnetic relay with a short-circuit resistance and a contact adhesion monitoring function, and in particular to a four-pole linkage electromagnetic relay with a compact structure, low impedance load, short-circuit resistance, and a main circuit adhesion monitoring function. Background Art
[0002] With the development of new energy technology, the battery capacity of new energy vehicles is increasing, and the demand for high-power charging piles is increasing. The original three-phase high-power charging piles use two 2-pole relays or four single-pole relays to control the three-phase four-wire circuit. However, the above schemes have problems such as the four poles cannot be linked, poor synchronization, and phase loss output. Therefore, the European market will introduce new standards in 2025, which will not allow non-integrated linked four-pole products to be used in three-phase four-wire circuits. Therefore, it is proposed to develop an integrated linked 4-pole relay product.
[0003] When the existing relay switches at high current, the contact impedance increases significantly, causing the load temperature to rise, affecting the normal function of the product.
[0004] Existing relays generally use copper alloy reeds to provide load and contact pressure. Due to the change of contact impedance, the reed will experience thermal stress relaxation at high temperature, resulting in reduced contact pressure, further deteriorating contact impedance, and causing product temperature to rise. Existing relays generally use copper alloy reeds to provide load and contact pressure. There is a trade-off problem in adjusting contact pressure and load capacity, and the product's short-circuit resistance is mainly reflected in the adjustment of the product's initial pressure and final pressure. The existing relay monitoring design does not take into account the alarm function when the contact is sticking.
[0005] In view of the above situation, the present invention urgently needs to provide a four-pole linkage electromagnetic relay with anti-short circuit and contact adhesion monitoring function. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The four-pole linkage electromagnetic relay with anti-short circuit and contact adhesion monitoring function of the present invention comprises a frame 1, an iron core 2 arranged on the frame 1, a coil 3 sleeved on the iron core 2, an armature 4 arranged on the frame 1 to attract the iron core 2 after the coil 3 is energized, a push rod 5 arranged on the frame 1 to be linked with the armature 4 and realize left and right reciprocating motion, a main contact assembly 6 coordinated with the push rod 5, and a monitoring contact assembly 7 arranged on the frame 1 to be coordinated with the push rod 5, wherein the monitoring contact assembly 7 is in a non-closed state when the main contact assembly 6 is adhered. By adopting the above structure, the push rod 5 is used as the linkage mechanism of the main contact assembly 6 and the monitoring contact assembly 7, and the pull hook 8 arranged on the push rod 5 is used. When the main contact assembly 6 is adhered, the push rod 5 will be restricted from returning to its original position, so that the pull hook 8 of the push rod 5 will pull the monitoring spring 72 to make the monitoring contact assembly 7 in an open state, thereby playing the function of the monitoring contact assembly 7.
[0034] The main contact assembly 6 mentioned above includes a moving contact 61 arranged on the push rod 5 and a static contact 62 arranged on the frame 1. A hook 8 is arranged on the push rod 5 near the side of the monitoring contact assembly 7; the monitoring contact assembly 7 includes an auxiliary static contact 71 arranged on the frame 1, a monitoring spring 72 connected to one end of the frame 1, and an auxiliary moving contact 73 arranged at the other end of the monitoring spring 72. When the push rod 5 reciprocates left and right, the hook 8 hooks or releases the monitoring spring 72, and the corresponding auxiliary moving contact 73 and the auxiliary static contact 71 are released or closed. Fig.11 As shown, in the initial state, the auxiliary moving contact 73 and the auxiliary static contact 71 in the monitoring contact assembly 7 are closed, and the moving contact 61 and the static contact 62 in the main contact assembly 6 are separated; when the coil 3 is energized, the moving contact 61 and the static contact 62 in the main contact assembly 6 are closed, and the auxiliary moving contact 73 and the auxiliary static contact 71 in the monitoring contact assembly 7 are separated under the action of the push rod 5; Fig.12 As shown, when the coil 3 is de-energized and the moving contact 61 and the static contact 62 in the main contact assembly 6 are bonded, the push rod 5 cannot return to its initial position due to the obstruction of the contact connection bridge, thereby blocking the auxiliary moving contact 73 and the auxiliary static contact 71 in the monitoring contact assembly 7 from closing, thereby performing the function of monitoring the main contact.
[0035] The above-mentioned monitoring spring piece 72 is formed by bending a metal sheet to form a first part 721 connected to the frame 1 and a second part 722 connected to the first part 721. The auxiliary moving contact 73 is arranged on the second part 722. The hook 8 on the push rod 5 hooks or releases the monitoring spring piece 72 when it moves relative to the frame 1.
[0036] The above-mentioned four-pole linkage electromagnetic relay with short-circuit resistance and contact adhesion monitoring function is provided with a plurality of main contact assemblies 6, each of which is composed of two main contact assembly assemblies 6 units arranged in parallel in series. Under the condition of large contact gap requirements and size restrictions, it is difficult to increase the contact gap h by increasing the height or length of the relay volume. By adopting the above-mentioned double-group contact series scheme, the contact gap h will be reduced to half of the original, which can significantly reduce the action distance, thereby avoiding the relay size being too long or too high, reducing the distance between the armature 4 and the iron core in the initial state, and the suction and reaction force is easier to match.
[0037] The main contact assembly 6 unit of the present invention comprises a moving contact connecting plate 63 arranged on the push rod 5, two moving contacts 61 arranged at both ends of the moving contact connecting plate 63, two static contact 62 connecting plates arranged on the frame 1, and static contacts 62 arranged on the corresponding static contact 62 plates. The moving contact 61 attracts the corresponding static contact 62 after the coil 3 is energized; the moving contact connecting plate 63 is a copper plate. The push rod 5 is provided with a slot for the moving contact connecting plate 63 to be placed, and the slot is provided with a spring 9 for connecting the push rod 5 and the moving contact connecting plate 63 respectively. Using a double-contact bridge connection method, the moving contact connecting plate 63 between the conductive parts of the two contacts is connected in series with a pure copper plate. Since the copper plate does not provide a reaction force, it is also easy to increase the conductive cross-sectional area by thickening it; the reaction force is provided by a spring 9, and the spring 9 itself is not energized, so it does not generate heat. Under a long-term high current load, the temperature will be low and the elastic force will have little effect.
[0038] The movable contact 61 of the present invention is tilted relative to the static contact 62 in the initial state. The tilt angle between the movable contact and the horizontal plane in the initial state is 95-110°, and the optimal tilt angle is 100°. When the movable contact 61 contacts the static contact 62, the tilted side contacts first, and then performs a relative sliding friction movement under the action of the contact spring 9. During the contact process, a relative friction movement is formed, which can wipe off foreign matter on the contact surface. In addition, during the relative friction movement, a contact element is formed between the contacts, which increases the conductive path of the current, thereby reducing the contact impedance.
