DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] To further illustrate the embodiments, the present application provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present application, which mainly serve to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used to explain the operating principle of the embodiments in conjunction with the related description of the specification. Those of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present application in conjunction with these. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the drawings, the present application discloses a relay, which comprises a moving spring armature component 100, a coil assembly 200, a static spring assembly 400 and a shell 300. The moving spring armature component 100 is arranged at one end of the coil assembly and is configured to act under the magnetic attraction of the coil assembly 200 to make the contacts close or break. The shell 300 is used to cover the moving spring armature component 100, the coil assembly 200 and the static spring assembly 400 therein. The moving spring armature component 100 comprises a moving spring assembly and an armature connected to the moving spring assembly. The moving spring assembly, the static spring assembly 400 and the coil assembly 200 are respectively provided with a pin extending out of the shell 300, and the pin comprises a moving spring pin, a static spring pin and a coil pin. The coil assembly 200 comprises a coil holder 5, and the static spring assembly 400 is arranged on the coil holder 5. The static spring assembly 400 comprises a static spring leading piece 1 fixedly connected to the coil holder 5. The moving spring assembly comprises a moving spring blade 2 and a moving spring leading piece 6. The shell 300 comprises a base 3 and a shell 4 covering the base 3. The static spring leading piece 1 comprises a static contact fixed part 11 and a static spring leading part 12 perpendicular to each other. The static contact fixed part 11 of the static spring leading piece 1 is fixedly arranged on the coil holder 5, and the end of the static spring leading part 12 extends out of the base 3 to serve as a static spring pin. The moving spring blade 2 comprises two moving contact fixed parts 21 extending towards the static contact fixed part and arranged at intervals. The end of each moving contact fixed part 21 is provided with a moving contact 211 corresponding to a static contact 111. The direction in which the moving contact fixed part 21 and the static contact fixed part 11 form a space interval is defined as the height direction (i.e. the Z-axis direction). The extension plane in which the static contact fixed part 11 is located is defined as the horizontal plane. The extension direction of the static spring leading part 12 on the horizontal plane is defined as the Y-axis direction. The direction perpendicular to the Y-axis direction on the horizontal plane is defined as the X-axis direction. The height direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
[0046] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the projections of the moving contact fixing part 21 and the stationary contact fixing part 11 onto the horizontal plane form an inner angle region (shaded area in the figure). The stationary spring lead-out part 12 extends in the height direction and passes through the base to the outside, with the pins at the end of the stationary spring lead-out part 12 distributed within the range of the inner angle region. The inner angle region refers to the three-dimensional spatial region formed by the angle plane formed by the projections of the moving contact fixing part 21 and the stationary contact fixing part 11 onto the horizontal plane extending in the height direction. More specifically, the inner angle refers to a right angle or an acute angle, and the centers of the moving contact 211 and the stationary contact 111 are both located at the intersection of this inner angle. Within this inner angle region, the projection of the stationary spring lead-out part 12 onto the horizontal plane can extend parallel to the moving contact fixing part 21 (in which case the projection of the moving contact fixing part 21 onto the horizontal plane extends along the Y-axis direction), or it can have a certain angle with the moving contact fixing part 21, a small angle so that the extending directions of the stationary spring lead-out part 12 and the moving contact fixing part 21 are nearly parallel. The preferred structure has an acute included angle, so that the projections of the moving contact fixing part 21 and the stationary contact fixing part 11 onto the horizontal plane form two acute included angles. This included angle region is the included angle region formed by the two acute angles. At this time, the stationary spring lead-out part 12 extends along the Y-axis direction, and the projection of the moving contact fixing part 21 onto the horizontal plane extends obliquely from the end where the moving contact 211 is located towards the middle of the relay. The moving contact fixing part 21 forms an angle with the Y-axis, that is, the extending directions of the stationary spring lead-out part 12 and the moving contact fixing part 21 form a certain angle. In this example, see [reference needed]. Figure 8 As shown, the moving contact 211 and the stationary contact 111 are two sets, and these two sets of contacts are arranged in parallel. A moving contact fixing part 21 is provided on each side of the stationary contact lead-out part 12. Thus, the projections of the stationary spring lead-out part 12, the stationary contact fixing part 11, and the moving contact fixing part 21 on the horizontal plane form an "E"-shaped layout. The stationary spring lead-out part 12 is arranged by fully utilizing the space between the two moving contact fixing parts 21, ensuring sufficient electrical clearance between the moving contact fixing part 21 and the stationary spring lead-out part 12 to prevent electrical breakdown. In other embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 9As shown, the moving contact 211 and the stationary contact 111 are only one set, the moving contact fixing part 21 is arranged at one side of the stationary contact leading part 12, so that the projection of the stationary spring leading part 12, the stationary contact fixing part 11 and the moving contact fixing part 21 on the horizontal plane forms a layout similar to "U" type, and the moving contact fixing part 21 and the stationary spring leading part 12 have enough electrical clearance to prevent electrical breakdown. In addition, when the moving contact fixing part 21 is arranged at one side of the stationary contact leading part 12, more than one set of contacts can also be provided. The stationary spring leading part 12 is arranged in the inner angle region formed by the projection of the stationary contact fixing part 11 and the moving contact fixing part 21 on the horizontal plane, and the stationary spring leading part 12 is extended to the outside of the base 3 in the height direction to form a pin, so that the inner angle region and the height space of the relay are used to make the layout of the moving spring assembly and the stationary spring assembly more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the relay.
[0047] In addition, the projection of the moving contact fixing part 21 on the horizontal plane extends obliquely from one end where the moving contact 211 is located to the middle of the relay, and the moving spring leading part 12 is arranged at one end of the moving contact fixing part 21 where the moving contact 211 is located, so that the creepage distance between the two moving contact fixing parts 21 and the moving spring leading part 12 can be increased, and on the other hand, a space can be formed outside the two moving contact fixing parts 21 to facilitate the installation of the coil leading piece 7 outside the moving contact fixing part 21, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the product.
[0048] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the stationary spring leading piece 1 is integrally bent to form, and further comprises a bending part 13 formed between the contact fixing part 11 and the stationary spring leading part 12. The position of the stationary contact 111 on the stationary contact fixing part 11 should be such that the electrical clearance L1, L2 between the moving spring leaf 2 and the stationary spring leading piece is much larger than the contact gap, wherein L1 is the electrical clearance between the moving spring leaf 2 and the stationary spring leading part 12, and L2 is the electrical clearance between the moving spring leaf 2 and the bending part 13. The stationary spring leading piece 1 is integrally formed by bending, which can make the manufacturing of the stationary spring leading piece 1 simpler, and also can achieve greater strength of the stationary spring leading piece 1 with a simple structure.
[0049] As shown in Figures 3 to 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the moving spring armature part 100 further comprises a moving spring lead 6 electrically connected to the moving contact 211, the moving spring lead 6 comprises a moving contact connecting part 61 and a moving spring lead part 62 extending out of the base 3 for serving as a moving spring lead pin. The moving contact connecting part 61 is connected to the moving contact 211 through a flexible conductive body 60, so as to form the electrical connection between the moving spring lead 6 and the moving contact 211. The moving spring lead part 62 and the stationary spring lead part 12 are oppositely arranged at two ends of the base 3 along the Y-axis direction, and the bending part 13 and the moving spring lead part 62 are oppositely arranged at two sides of the stationary contact fixing part 11 along the Y-axis direction. The flexible conductive body 60 comprises two conductive parts extending along the Y-axis direction, and the conductive parts are specifically arranged corresponding to the moving contact fixing part 21 and coincide with the projection of the moving contact fixing part 21 on the horizontal plane, so as not to additionally occupy space in the horizontal direction and also to ensure the electrical clearance between the two conductive parts of the flexible conductive body 60 and the stationary spring lead part 12.
[0050] In this example, the static spring leading part 12 is bent from the bending part 13 at the edge of the base 3 towards the middle of the base 3, i.e. inwardly, so as to arrange the static spring leading pin using the space in the middle of the base 3, to make the layout of the static spring leading part on the base more reasonable, and to facilitate further miniaturization of the relay. The junction of the static spring leading part 12 and the bending part 13 is located in the middle of the base in the X-axis direction, and the static spring leading part 12 extends from the bending part 13 in a direction perpendicular to the edge of the base, i.e. in the Y-axis direction, so as to reserve sufficient space on both sides for arranging the contacts and to make full use of the space of the base. The flexible conductive body 60 is a U-shaped copper braid, so as to form a soft connection between the moving spring leading part 6 and the moving contact 211, to ensure more reliable electrical connection between the moving contact 211 and the moving spring leading part 6 when the moving contact 211 is actuated, and to make the layout of the moving spring leading part 6 more flexible. Since the static spring leading part 12 is arranged in the above-mentioned inner angle region, and the static spring leading part 12 extends in the Y-axis direction, while the moving spring fixed part 21 can extend in the Y-axis direction or at an angle with the Y-axis, the static spring leading part 12 and the flexible conductive body 60 partially overlap in the Y-axis direction. On this basis, the two conductive parts of the flexible flexible conductive body 60 can make the position of the moving spring leading part 6 more flexible on the basis of ensuring reliable electrical connection between the moving spring leading part 6 and the moving contact 211, so as to arrange the moving spring leading part 6 further away from the static spring leading part 12, to increase the distance between the static spring leading part 1 and the moving spring leading part 6, and to ensure that the electrical gap between the static spring leading part 1 and the moving spring leading part 6 is large enough. If the moving spring leading part 6 and the moving contact 211 are rigidly connected, it is possible that the moving spring leading part 6 is arranged on the moving contact 211 and directly connected with the moving contact 211, which will result in too small distance between the static spring leading part 1 and the moving spring leading part 6, and insufficient creepage distance between them. It is also possible that the distance between the moving spring leading part 6 and the moving contact 211 is far, and the moving contact 211 is moving, so that the rigid connection between the moving spring leading part 6 and the moving contact 211 is unreliable.
[0051] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the flexible conductive body 60 is a one-piece U-shaped structure. In other embodiments, the flexible conductive body 60 can also be a split structure, i.e. comprising two flexible conductive connecting parts, each of which forms a conductive part.
[0052] The moving spring leading part 62 is perpendicular to the static spring leading part 12. Since the static spring leading part 12 is inwardly bent and occupies part of the space in the middle of the base 3, arranging the moving spring leading part 62 perpendicular to the static spring leading part 12 can reduce the space occupied by the moving spring leading part 62 in the Y-axis direction, and facilitate reduction of the volume of the relay on the basis of ensuring the distance between the moving spring leading part 62 and the static spring leading part 12.
[0053] Referring to Figures 3 to 7As shown, the coil assembly 200 further comprises two coil lead members 7 provided with two coil lead portions 71, the two coil lead portions 71 are arranged at two sides of the static spring lead portion 12 in the X-axis direction and oppositely arranged, so that the moving spring lead portion 62, the static spring lead portion 12 and the coil lead portions 71 are arranged near the four edges of the base 3 respectively, thereby forming a four-point arrangement. The four-point arrangement refers to that the moving spring lead portion 62, the static spring lead portion 12 and each coil lead portion 71 are abstracted as a point, and the four points are arranged near the four edges of the base 3 respectively, thereby forming four points not in a line. This arrangement can make full use of the space of the base 3, and the moving spring lead portion 62, the static spring lead portion 12 and the coil lead portions 71 with spacing requirements are arranged along the four edges of the base 3, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the base 3 while ensuring the spacing.
[0054] The coil lead member 7 is arranged at the end of the moving contact fixed portion 21 away from the moving contact 211, and both moving contact fixed portions 21 extend between the two spaced coil lead members 7, so that mounting spaces for mounting the coil lead members 7 can be formed on both sides of the moving contact fixed portion 21 in the X-axis direction, thereby optimizing the layout of the relay and facilitating the formation of the four-point arrangement.
[0055] In this example, the moving spring sheet 2 and the moving spring lead member 6, the flexible conductive body 60 and the moving contact form a moving spring assembly. In other embodiments, the moving spring sheet 2 and the moving spring lead member 6 can also be an integral structure, so that the electrical connection between the moving contact 211 and the moving spring lead portion 61 can be realized by the moving spring sheet 2, or the moving spring lead member 6 is directly connected to the moving spring sheet 2, and the electrical connection between the moving contact 211 and the moving spring lead portion 61 is also realized by the moving spring sheet 2.
[0056] In this example, the integrally bent and formed static spring lead member and the static contact 111 constitute a static spring assembly, and the integrally bent and formed static spring lead member 2 makes the static contact fixed portion 21 and the static spring lead portion 22 integrally connected. In other embodiments, the static contact fixed portion and the static spring lead portion can be separately formed conductive parts, and then fixedly connected by welding or riveting to realize electrical connection.
[0057] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the moving spring armature component 100 further comprises an armature 8 connected to the moving spring leaf 2, the armature 8 is configured to drive the moving spring leaf 2 to act under the magnetic attraction of the coil assembly 200, so as to make the moving contact 211 close or open relative to the static contact 111, in order to ensure that the armature 8 does not excessively move away from the coil assembly 200 in the state of moving away from the coil assembly 200, and does not affect the next closing, a stop mechanism is arranged on the side of the armature 8 away from the coil assembly 200, the stop mechanism forms a stop limit for the armature 8 by abutting against the armature 8, thereby avoiding the armature 8 excessively moving away from the coil assembly 200, and the stop mechanism is located inside the area surrounded by the four-point arrangement of the moving spring leading part 62, the static spring leading part 12 and the coil leading part 71. In this example, the stop mechanism is a metal positioning piece 9 arranged on the base 3, the metal positioning piece 9 includes a plug-in part 91 plugged into the base 3 and an abutting part 92 protruding from the base 3 and extending in the direction towards the armature 8, so that the metal positioning piece 9 forms abutment with the armature 8 through the abutting part 92. The metal positioning piece 9 is located between the two conductive parts of the flexible conductor 60 and is spaced apart from the two conductive parts respectively, avoiding the metal positioning piece 9 from interfering with the conductive parts when the armature 8 and the moving spring leaf 2 act.
[0058] Since the moving spring leading part 62, the static spring leading part 12 and the coil leading part 71 are arranged near the four edges of the base 3, the metal positioning piece 9 is arranged in the space of the middle part of the base 3, making the layout of the metal positioning piece 9 more reasonable. The metal positioning piece 9 is fixed on the base 3 by plug-in, which is simple and reliable, and it is convenient to select metal positioning pieces 9 of different specifications and sizes according to the changes of electrical parameters of the relay. In addition to the metal positioning piece 9 plugged into the middle part of the base 3 forming the stop mechanism, in other embodiments, a protruding column extending from the middle part of the base 3 towards the armature 8 can also form the stop mechanism.
[0059] Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the static contact 111 on the static spring leading piece 1 is arranged on the side of the static contact fixing part 11 facing the static spring leading part 12, and then the moving contact 211 and the moving contact fixing part 21 are also located on the side of the static contact fixing part 11 facing the static spring leading part 12. Since the static contact fixing part 11 is fixedly arranged on the coil frame 5, and the static spring leading part 12 extends relative to the static contact fixing part 11 in a direction away from the coil frame 5 (towards the direction of the base), the moving contact 211 is located on the side of the static contact fixing part 11 away from the coil frame 5. When the moving contact 211 is closed or opened relative to the static contact 111 under the driving of the armature 8, the extension space of the static spring leading part 12 is utilized, so that the movement of the moving contact 211 does not occupy additional space in the Z-axis direction, and enough winding space can be reserved for the coil frame 5, thereby increasing the magnetic field strength of the coil under the same current.
[0060] Since the moving contact fixed part 21 is arranged on both sides of the static spring leading part 12, the armature 8 which drives the moving contact fixed part 21 moves across the two moving contact fixed parts 21, and in the X-axis direction, the armature 8 crosses the static spring leading part 12. In order to make the structure of the relay more compact, the armature 8 extends into the inner angle area and has a spacing with the static contact fixed part 11 in the height direction. In order to avoid the armature 8 from being too close to the static spring leading part 1 during the movement process and even interfering with it, the armature 8 is arranged in the Y-axis direction with the static contact fixed part 11, and the static spring leading part 12 is provided with a gap 121 to form a movement gap for the armature 8. The static spring leading part 12 is provided with the gap 121, which can also increase the distance between the static spring leading part 12 and the armature 8, ensure the electrical gap between the two, and prevent electrical breakdown between the armature 8 and the static spring leading part 12. In order to achieve the purpose of movement gap, the gap 121 should be arranged at the position of the static spring leading part 12 close to the armature 8, that is, an inclined angle is arranged at the corner of the static spring leading part 12, and the position of the gap 121 is at the corner of the static spring leading part 1, which does not affect the current carrying of the static spring leading part 2. In other embodiments, the gap 121 can also be an arc-shaped gap arranged at the corner of the static spring leading part 12.
[0061] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the coil lead-out piece 7 is arranged on the coil frame 5, the coil frame 5 is provided with a mounting through slot 510 for mounting the coil lead-out piece 7, and two ends of the coil lead-out piece 7 respectively extend out of the mounting through slot 510, one end of which forms a coil connecting portion 72, and the other end extends out of the base 3 to form a coil lead-out portion 71. Arranging the coil lead-out piece 7 on the coil frame 5 can simplify the structure of the shell 4, and also make the coil lead-out piece 7 occupy less space by utilizing the space of the coil frame 5, which is conducive to the compact layout of the relay. In addition, since the fixed portion 11 of the static contact of the static spring lead-out piece 1 is arranged on the coil frame 5, and the base 3 is arranged opposite to the coil frame 5 on both sides of the fixed portion 11 of the static contact, the closing and breaking of the movable contact 211 and the static contact 111 are carried out between the base 3 and the coil frame 5, and part of the coil lead-out piece 7 will pass through the space between the base 3 and the coil frame 5, so the metal splashes generated by the closing and breaking of the movable contact 211 and the static contact 111 may splash near the coil lead-out piece 5, specifically near the part of the coil lead-out piece 5 between the base 3 and the coil frame 5, thereby reducing the creepage distance between the coil lead-out piece 5 and the movable contact 211 and the static contact 111, and causing electrical breakdown. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the coil frame 5 is provided with a mounting portion 51 extending to the base 3, and the end of the mounting portion 51 is embedded into the through hole of the base 3, and the mounting portion 51 is provided with a mounting through slot 510, so that the side wall of the mounting portion 51 physically isolates the coil lead-out piece to increase the creepage distance and prevent the coil lead-out piece from being electrically connected with the current-carrying circuit. The current-carrying circuit refers to the armature, the iron core, and the conductive components (including but not limited to the static spring lead-out piece, the static contact, the movable contact, the flexible conductive body, and the movable spring lead-out piece) forming a loop between the static spring lead and the movable spring lead.
[0062] Referring to Figure 14 As shown, arranging the coil lead-out piece 7 on the coil frame 5 will occupy the coil winding space to some extent. In order to have sufficient winding space, the coil lead-out piece 7 is arranged in a Z shape, so that the coil connecting portion 72 is farther away from the center axis of the coil frame 5 than the coil lead-out portion 71, thereby increasing the winding space between the two coil connecting portions 72. In addition, since the coil connecting portion 72 extends to the coil winding area beyond the mounting through slot 510, the coil connecting portion 72 will affect the winding after being mounted on the coil frame 5, which can be overcome by bending the coil connecting portion 72 outward to avoid the winding space before winding.
[0063] The number of movable contacts 211 and static contacts 111 is not limited to one group or two groups in the above embodiment, and multiple groups can be arranged on both sides of the static spring lead-out portion as needed.
[0064] While the application has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims.
