Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a relay armature assembly, a relay module comprising the relay armature assembly and a relay comprising the relay module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, an electromagnetic relay generally comprises an insulating base, a movable contact, a fixed contact and a movable spring. The insulating base comprises a peripheral wall, a bottom wall and a partition wall. The partition wall separates the space in the insulating base into an accommodating chamber and an arc extinguishing chamber. The movable contact, the fixed contact and the movable spring are arranged in the arc extinguishing chamber. The movable contact is fixed to the end of the movable spring, and in order to increase the length of the movable spring, the end of the movable spring is usually close to the bottom wall of the insulating base, which results in that the distance between the movable contact and the bottom wall of the insulating base is too short. In the magnetic blow-out arc extinguishing, the length of the arc between the movable contact and the fixed contact is limited, and it is difficult to be lengthened to a predetermined length, which reduces the effect of the magnetic blow-out arc extinguishing, and even causes the arc extinguishing failure. Once the arc cannot be quickly extinguished, the movable contact and the fixed contact will be melted by the high temperature generated by the arc, and even the electromagnetic relay will explode, which seriously affects the safety production.

[0003] In addition, in the prior art, the relay further comprises a yoke, an armature, an insulator and a connecting piece. The armature is movably mounted on the yoke and can swing between an attraction position and an initial position relative to the yoke. One end of the armature is engaged into the insulator. One end of the connecting piece is engaged to the insulator. The insulator electrically separates the armature and the connecting piece. The movable spring of the relay is riveted to the other end of the connecting piece. In the prior art, since a separate connecting piece needs to be provided, this increases the number of components of the relay, resulting in cost increase. Moreover, riveting the movable spring and the connecting piece reduces the production efficiency.

[0004] In addition, in the prior art, the relay further comprises a reset spring for resetting the armature from the attraction position to the initial position. The reset spring is usually fixed to the partition wall of the insulating base. Since the insulating base is usually made of plastic, its mechanical strength and wear resistance are poor, and when the reset spring moves frequently, the partition wall of the insulating base is prone to breakage or wear. The plastic dust generated by the wear can affect the electrical contact performance between the movable contact and the fixed contact. SUMMARY

[0058] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an insulating base 1 is disclosed. The insulating base 1 is used to be installed in the bottom opening of the housing 2 of a relay. The insulating base 1 includes: a peripheral wall 11, a bottom wall 12, and a partition wall 13. The bottom wall 12 is connected to the bottom of the peripheral wall 11. The partition wall 13 is connected to the peripheral wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. The partition wall 13 is used to separate the internal space defined by the housing 2 and the insulating base 1 into a receiving chamber 10a and an arc extinguishing chamber 10b. Two grooves 101 are formed on the inner side of the bottom wall 12 of the arc extinguishing chamber 10b, so that the arc 1c between a static contact 5a and a movable contact 4a of the relay can be pulled down into the grooves 101 to increase the length of the arc 1c pulled down.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the arc 1c between one movable contact 4a and one stationary contact 5a of the relay can be pulled downward by the magnetic field between the two arc-extinguishing magnets 6 into the groove 101 on the bottom wall 12 of the arc-extinguishing chamber 10b. This increases the length of the arc 1c pulled downward, allowing it to be extinguished quickly, greatly improving the relay's magnetic arc-extinguishing effect. Furthermore, the arc between the other stationary contact 5a and the other movable contact 4a of the relay is stretched upward by the magnetic field between the two arc-extinguishing magnets 6. Since there is more space for this upward stretch, this upwardly stretched arc can also be extinguished quickly.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the insulating base 1 has a transverse direction X, a longitudinal direction Y and a height direction Z, the partition wall 13 extends along the transverse direction X and the height direction Z, and the two grooves 101 are arranged side by side in the transverse direction X.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the insulating base 1 further includes two magnet retaining portions 14. The two magnet retaining portions 14 are formed in the arc extinguishing chamber 10b and are used to retain the two arc extinguishing magnets 6 of the relay. The two magnet retaining portions 14 are opposite in the horizontal direction X, and the two grooves 101 are located between the two magnet retaining portions 14.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the illustrated embodiment, the slot 14 a has an insertion opening on the outer side of the bottom wall 12 to allow the arc-extinguishing magnet 6 to be inserted into the slot 14 a of the magnet holding portion 14 via the insertion opening.

[0064] As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall surface of the slot 14a is adapted to interference fit with the arc extinguishing magnet 6 to fix the arc extinguishing magnet 6 in the slot 14a. Figures 1 to 7

[0065] As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall surface of the slot 14a is adapted to interference fit with the arc extinguishing magnet 6 to fix the arc extinguishing magnet 6 in the slot 14a. Figures 1 to 7 As shown in another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the inner wall surface of the slot 14a clearance fits with the arc extinguishing magnet 6, and a sealant 6a is injected in the insertion opening of the slot 14a to seal the insertion opening of the slot 14a and fix the arc extinguishing magnet 6 in the slot 14a.

[0066] As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the insulating base 1 further comprises two terminal holding portions 15. The two terminal holding portions 15 are formed in the arc extinguishing chamber 10b for holding two stationary terminals 5 of the relay. The two terminal holding portions 15 are arranged side by side in the lateral direction X and are spaced apart from each other with the partition wall 13. Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the terminal holding portions 15 are connected with the peripheral wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, and a terminal slot 15a for inserting the stationary terminal 55 is formed in each of the two terminal holding portions 15, and the two stationary terminals 5 of the relay are adapted to be inserted into the terminal slots 15a of the two terminal holding portions 15 respectively.

[0067] Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the illustrated embodiment, an opening is formed in the bottom wall 12 and communicates with the terminal slot 15a to allow a portion of the stationary terminal 55 to extend out of the insulating base 1 via the opening in the bottom wall 12.

[0068] As shown in the illustrated embodiment, an opening is formed in the bottom wall 12 and communicates with the terminal slot 15a to allow a portion of the stationary terminal 55 to extend out of the insulating base 1 via the opening in the bottom wall 12. Figures 1 to 7

The relay includes: a housing 2, an insulating base 1, two stationary contacts 5a, two movable contacts 4a, and two arc-extinguishing magnets 6. The housing 2 has a bottom opening. The insulating base 1 is mounted in the bottom opening of the housing 2. The two stationary contacts 5a are located in an arc-extinguishing chamber 10b. The two movable contacts 4a are located in the arc-extinguishing chamber 10b and are respectively in electrical contact with the two stationary contacts 5a. The two arc-extinguishing magnets 6 are located in the arc-extinguishing chamber 10b and are used to extinguish the arc 1c between the stationary contacts 5a and the movable contacts 4a by magnetic blowout. Two grooves 101 on the bottom wall 12 of the arc-extinguishing chamber 10b are respectively located below the two movable contacts 4a and between the two arc-extinguishing magnets 6, so that the arc 1c between one stationary contact 5a and one movable contact 4a of the relay can be drawn down into the grooves 101 by the magnetic field between the two arc-extinguishing magnets 6. Therefore, the downward length of the arc 1c can be increased, allowing it to be extinguished quickly, greatly improving the relay's magnetic arc-extinguishing effect. Furthermore, the arc between the relay's other static contact 5a and the other movable contact 4a is stretched upward by the magnetic field between the two arc-extinguishing magnets 6. Because the upward stretching space is larger, the upwardly stretched arc can also be extinguished quickly.
