Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of relays, in particular to an electromagnetic relay. Background Art

[0002] An electromagnetic relay in the prior art has an armature whose middle part is rotatably connected between a base and a housing, and in order to ensure the flexible rotation of the armature, the armature is fitted with a clearance between the housing and the base in the direction of the rotation axis. When the armature is subjected to the combined action of multiple forces during the rotation process, it is easy to cause a certain angle of yaw motion, which causes the outer surface of the armature in the direction of its rotation axis to be easily in contact and rub against the housing and / or the base. Since the armature includes an armature and a plastic part, the armature and the plastic part are integrally insert-molded, and the plastic part, as an injection-molded part, will inevitably have burrs on its parting surface. The protruding burrs may be higher than the outer surface. The protruding burrs are more likely to generate free plastic chips when rubbed against the housing and / or the base during the rotation of the armature, and the plastic chips may be free to the contact position, thereby causing the relay to fail. In addition, the armature of the armature part is a metal workpiece, and it is difficult to avoid corner collapse and a punching fracture zone during the punching process, and there may be defects such as bruises and curling during the electroplating process.
