[0022] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a relay structure with reinforced insulation of the utility model comprises a skeleton 3, an A foot 1 and a B foot 2 arranged on the skeleton 3, and a reed 4 arranged between the A foot 1 and the B foot 2, wherein the A foot 1 and the B foot 2 are arranged spaced apart and in parallel, a rib 5 is arranged on the side of the skeleton 3 close to the A foot 1, and a step 6 is arranged on the side of the skeleton 3 close to the B foot 2, the rib 5 and the step 6 are respectively spaced apart from the skeleton 3, one end of the A foot 1 abuts between the bottom surface of the rib 5 and the bottom surface of the skeleton 3, the other end of the A foot 1 abuts between the bottom surface of the step 6 and the bottom surface of the skeleton 3, one end of the B foot 2 abuts between the top surface of the step 6 and the top surface of the skeleton 3, and the other end of the B foot 2 abuts between the top surface of the rib 5 and the top surface of the skeleton 3.
[0024] At present, there are two ways to enhance the insulation performance of relays. One is to use plastic materials with higher CTI values. In the field of materials science, CTI values usually refer to "Comparative Tracking Index" (CTI for short). The full Chinese name is "Comparative Tracking Index" or "Leakage Tracking Index". CTI value is an indicator used to measure the ability of insulating materials to resist the formation of leakage paths in electrical equipment. The commonly used detection standard is IEC 60112 standard; the other is to increase the creepage distance at the load end. Creepage distance is an important concept in the field of electrical safety. It refers to the shortest path between two conductive parts or between conductive parts and the protective interface of the equipment measured along the surface of the insulating material. Under different usage conditions, the insulating material around the conductor is polarized, causing the insulating material to become charged. This creepage distance is to prevent the surface discharge of the dielectric caused by the potential difference between the conductors, also known as creepage phenomenon. The present application is aimed at the structural design optimization of the creepage distance, by adding ribs 5 and steps 6 in the skeleton 3. Since the ribs 5 and steps 6 are respectively arranged at intervals from the skeleton 3, and the ribs 5 and steps 6 are separated from the skeleton 3, They are located on both sides of the frame 3, so that one end of the A foot 1 contacts between the bottom surface of the rib 5 and the bottom surface of the frame 3, and the other end of the A foot 1 contacts between the bottom surface of the step 6 and the bottom surface of the frame 3, and a surface contact method is adopted to increase the contact area between the A foot 1 and the rib 5 and the step 6, and the connection is stable and reliable, and one end of the B foot 2 contacts between the top surface of the step 6 and the top surface of the frame 3, and the other end of the B foot 2 contacts between the top surface of the rib 5 and the top surface of the frame 3, and a surface contact method is adopted to increase the contact area between the B foot 2 and the rib 5 and the step 6, and the connection is stable and reliable, thereby realizing that the A foot 1 and the B foot 2 are arranged at an upper and lower interval relative to the reed 4, effectively increasing the creepage distance between the A foot 1 and the reed 4, and enhancing the insulation performance. In electrical safety standards, such as UL, CSA and VDE, there are clear safety requirements for creepage distance to prevent sparks between devices or between devices and ground, thereby threatening personal safety. The utility model increases the creepage distance between the A foot 1 and the reed 4 by arranging the ribs 5 and the steps 6 on the frame 3, thereby enhancing the insulation performance and prolonging the service life of the relay.

The bottom wall of the step 6 is convexly provided with a second upper positioning block 61, and the bottom wall of the frame 3 is convexly provided with a second lower positioning block 32. The second upper positioning block 61 and the second lower positioning block 32 are arranged opposite to each other so that the second upper positioning block 61 and the second lower positioning block 32 respectively abut against the upper surface and the lower surface of the other end of the positioning A foot 1.
