Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an all-in-one relay. Background Art
[0002] A relay is an electronic control device that has a control system (also known as an input circuit) and a controlled system (also known as an output circuit). It is usually used in automatic control circuits. A relay is actually an "automatic switch" that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion in the circuit.
[0003] With the widespread application of relays, combined with the application requirements of the whole machine, in electrical equipment with multi-phase design, two relays need to be connected in series for each phase, and each relay is required to be independently controlled. In this regard, the existing solution is to use multiple independent relays for control.
[0004] However, the above existing solutions have the following problems: 1. Multiple relays are arranged independently, resulting in a large overall product volume, which is difficult to meet the needs of miniaturized design, and multiple relays need to be installed separately during application, resulting in low assembly efficiency. 2. There are many connection points for the contact lead pins (taking three-phase as an example, there are as many as 12 connection points), resulting in low integration and a large board area. At the same time, in order to reduce the temperature rise of the lead pins, heat dissipation treatment is required for each connection point, such as adding copper bars for heat conduction. Due to the large number of connection points, the number of copper bars is large, which further increases the space occupied and increases the cost, and the welding risk is increased due to the large number of solder joints. Limited by the heating and heat dissipation capacity of the contacts, the load current of the existing solution usually does not exceed 300A. Utility Model Content

The structure, connection mode and functional relationship of each main component of the multi-in-one relay proposed in the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the above drawings.
[0085] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the functional module 200 is disposed on the housing 100. The functional module 200 includes two pushers, a contact assembly 220 and two magnetic circuit units 230. The pusher is suitable for moving relative to the housing 100 along the first direction X. The contact assembly 220 includes a movable spring assembly 221 and two static spring pieces 2221. The two ends of the movable spring assembly 221 in the second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X are contact ends respectively, and the middle part of the movable spring assembly 221 in the second direction Y is relatively fixed to the housing 100, and the two contact ends are respectively followed by the two pushers. The static spring piece 2221 is located on one side of the movable spring assembly 221 in the first direction X, and the two static spring pieces 2221 are arranged corresponding to the two contact ends respectively. The magnetic circuit unit 230 is located on the other side of the movable spring assembly 221 in the first direction X and includes a coil assembly 231. The magnetic circuit unit 230 is suitable for exciting and de-exciting the coil assembly 231 to drive the pusher to move along the first direction X, so as to drive the movable contact 2213 set at the contact end and the static contact set at the static spring piece 2221 to close or open.
[0086] Through the above design, the present disclosure sets at least two functional modules 200 together in the housing 100, realizing the integrated design of at least two functional modules 200. Each functional module 200 adopts a design including two pushers and two magnetic circuit units 230, which is equivalent to forming two independently controllable relay units, realizing an "N×2" integrated form of multi-in-one relay, where "N" represents the number of functional modules 200, and "2" represents that each functional module 200 includes two independently controllable relay units. Accordingly, the present disclosure can reduce the product volume, which is conducive to meeting the needs of miniaturized design and improving assembly efficiency. On this basis, the contact assembly 220 of each functional module 200 disclosed in the present invention includes two static springs 2221, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned relay units all using only one static spring 2221 for lead-out, thereby reducing the number of connection points of the lead-out end 22211 (taking a three-phase product as an example, the number of connection points is reduced from 12 in the existing solution to 6 in the present invention), thereby reducing the increase in process and material costs caused by heat dissipation treatment of the connection points, while further reducing space occupancy and reducing welding risks, and being able to meet the application of larger load currents. In addition, compared with the existing solution of using an independent magnetic circuit unit, which requires the magnetic circuit unit to be installed in the housing of the DC push rod relay, the present invention can utilize the setting of the housing 100 (such as the seat body 110) to achieve a more convenient assembly method of the magnetic circuit unit 230, such as the partial structure of the magnetic circuit unit 230 described in the following embodiment is fixedly connected to the seat body 110 via a connector.
[0087] like Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the coil assembly 231 is provided with a first through hole 23121 penetrating along the first direction X, and the magnetic circuit unit 230 further includes an iron core assembly 232, and the iron core assembly 232 includes a static iron core 2321 and a moving iron core 2322 arranged along the first direction X, and the pusher is connected to the moving iron core 2322. The static iron core 2321 is provided in the first through hole 23121, and the static iron core 2321 is relatively fixed to the coil assembly 231. The moving iron core 2322 is suitable for moving relative to the static iron core 2321 along the first direction X when the coil assembly 231 is energized, so as to drive the pusher to move along the first direction X. Through the above design, the magnetic circuit unit 230 of the present disclosure adopts the iron core assembly 232 of the automatic structure, which can provide a greater driving force. Based on this, on the basis of meeting the driving force requirements of the contact structure, compared with the existing structure, the present disclosure can reduce the volume of the magnetic circuit unit 230 under the same conditions, which is conducive to reducing the board area of the product. On this basis, the present invention can more conveniently fix the above-mentioned magnetic circuit unit 230 and the lead end 22211 of the static spring sheet 2221 through a common seat body 110 through a connecting piece, further reducing the difficulty of assembly, and organically combining with the miniaturization, multi-in-one, heat dissipation, reference stability and other functions of the present invention to promote each other.

The static core 2321 is provided with a second through hole 23211 extending along the first direction X, and the second through hole 23211 can allow the pusher to pass through. Through the above design, the present disclosure can further reduce the volume of the magnetic circuit unit 230 and further reduce the board area of the product. In some embodiments, the moving core 2322 can also be located on the side of the static core 2321 facing the contact assembly 220, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, based on the design that the magnetic circuit unit 230 includes an iron core assembly 232 and the iron core assembly 232 includes a moving iron core 2322 and a static iron core 2321, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the iron core assembly 232 may further include a reset elastic member 2323. The reset elastic member 2323 is connected between the static iron core 2321 and the moving iron core 2322, and the reset elastic member 2323 is suitable for resetting the moving iron core 2322 when the coil assembly 231 is powered off. Through the above design, the present disclosure can use the reset elastic member 2323 to provide a reaction force between the moving iron core 2322 and the static iron core 2321, so that the moving iron core 2322 and the static iron core 2321 are in a released state under the action of the reset elastic member 2323.
[0090] Furthermore, the reset elastic member 2323 may be a coil spring, and the coil spring is wound around the outer circumference of the connecting rod 211, and the two ends of the coil spring are respectively connected to the moving iron core 2322 and the static iron core 2321. In some embodiments, the reset elastic member 2323 may also adopt other elastic structures, such as but not limited to springs or leaf springs, etc., and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0091] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the magnetic circuit unit 230 includes a yoke assembly, the yoke assembly includes a yoke plate 2331 and a U-shaped yoke 2332, the U-shaped yoke 2332 is connected to the side of the yoke plate 2331 facing away from the contact assembly 220, and the U-shaped yoke 2332 and the yoke plate 2331 together form a receiving space for the coil assembly 231. In addition, the coil assembly 231 includes a coil 2311 and a coil frame 2312, the coil frame 2312 is used for winding and arranging the coil 2311, and the first through hole 23121 is provided in the coil frame 2312.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, part of the structure of the magnetic circuit unit 230 (such as a yoke assembly, etc.) can be fixedly connected to the base body 110 via a connector, and the connector can be, for example, a screw, a rivet, etc., thereby enabling convenient assembly between the relevant structure and the housing 100, further reducing the difficulty of assembling the relay when making the above-mentioned special design for miniaturization and all-in-one, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0093] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the dynamic spring assembly 221 may include a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a soft connector 2212. The middle portion of the soft connector 2212 in the second direction Y and the middle portion of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y are relatively fixed to the housing 100, and the two ends of the soft connector 2212 in the second direction Y are connected to the two ends of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y via the dynamic contact 2213, and together form the above-mentioned contact end. Accordingly, the present disclosure can utilize the conductive function mainly undertaken by the soft connector 2212, and utilize the dynamic spring piece 2211 to mainly provide the elastic recovery function. Of course, the dynamic spring piece 2211 may also have a certain conductive function, so as to further assist the current carrying capacity of the dynamic spring assembly 221. Through the above design, the present disclosure can use the soft connector 2212 to provide conductivity, and use the movable spring piece 2211 to achieve the separation and reset of the contacts. For example, when the pusher pushes the movable spring assembly 221 to deform and the movable contact 2213 contacts the static contact, the movable spring piece 2211 is deformed. When the pusher is reset, the force applied to the movable spring assembly 221 is reduced or disappears, and the reset rebound of the movable spring piece 2211 causes the movable spring assembly 221 to be reset as a whole. In addition, when the magnetic circuit unit 230 includes an iron core assembly 232 having a reset elastic member 2323, the present disclosure can also use the reset elastic member 2323 to link the real contact disconnection. Based on the design that the movable spring assembly 221 includes the movable spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the movable spring piece 2211 can be stainless steel.
[0094] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a flexible connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible connector 2212 can be located on the side of the dynamic spring piece 2211 facing the static spring piece 2221. In some embodiments, the flexible connector 2212 can also be located on the side of the dynamic spring piece 2211 facing away from the static spring piece 2221, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0095] like Figures 4 to 10As shown, based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a flexible connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the length of the flexible connector 2212 along the second direction Y after being unfolded can be greater than the length of the dynamic spring piece 2211 along the second direction Y, so that a portion of the flexible connector 2212 forms a warped shape relative to the dynamic spring piece 2211 toward the static spring piece 2221. In some embodiments, the length of the flexible connector 2212 along the second direction Y after being unfolded can also be equal to or even slightly less than the length of the dynamic spring piece 2211 along the second direction Y, and it is only necessary to ensure that the flexible connector 2212 can produce reasonable deformation during the process of the dynamic spring piece 2211 being pressed down and deformed, and this is not limited to this embodiment.
[0096] Based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the soft connector 2212 may be formed by stacking multiple layers of copper foil along the first direction X. Through the above design, the present disclosure can utilize the soft connector 2212 formed by stacking multiple layers of copper foil to provide conductivity, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the all-in-one relay.
[0097] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a soft connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the dynamic contact 2213 connects the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212 in a riveted form. For example, the dynamic contact 2213 can adopt the structural form of a rivet, that is, the present disclosure can use the dynamic contact 2213 as a rivet to directly rivet the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212. Through the above design, the present disclosure can ensure the fixed connection between the dynamic contact 2213, the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212, and at the same time it is conducive to reducing the number of parts and reducing the complexity of the structure. In some embodiments, the dynamic contact 2213 can also be riveted to the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212 through additional rivets, or the dynamic contact 2213 and the rivet and the soft connector 2212 can also adopt other connection forms and are not limited to this embodiment.
[0098] like Figures 3 to 7As shown, based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a soft connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pusher may include a connecting rod 211, a push block 212 and a cover plate 213. The connecting rod 211 extends along the first direction X, and the connecting rod 211 is suitable for cooperating with the magnetic circuit unit 230. The push block 212 is arranged at one end of the connecting rod 211 facing away from the magnetic circuit unit 230, and the push block 212 is located on the side of the dynamic spring piece 2211 facing the magnetic circuit unit 230. The cover plate 213 is connected to the push block 212 via a connecting structure 214, and the cover plate 213 is located on the side of the soft connector 2212 facing away from the magnetic circuit unit 230. The connecting structure 214 is evasive and matched with the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212. The pusher is suitable for pushing and pulling the dynamic spring assembly 221 via the push block 212 and the cover plate 213. On this basis, along the first direction X, the distance D1 between the push block 212 and the cover plate 213 can be greater than or equal to the thickness D2 of the movable spring assembly 221 at the warping part of the soft connector 2212. Through the above design, during the contact process between the movable contact 2213 and the static contact, the magnetic circuit unit 230 drives the pusher to move toward the static spring piece 2221 along the first direction X, and the push block 212 pushes against the side of the movable spring piece 2211 facing the magnetic circuit unit 230 (i.e., the side facing away from the soft connector 2212), thereby pushing the movable spring assembly 221 as a whole to move toward the static spring piece 2221, and realizing the contact between the movable contact 2213 and the static contact. During the disconnection process between the movable contact 2213 and the static contact, the excitation of the coil 2311 of the magnetic circuit unit 230 disappears, and during the reset process of the pusher, the cover plate 213 pushes against the side of the warping part of the soft connector 2212 facing the static spring piece 2221 (i.e., the side facing away from the movable spring piece 2211). Accordingly, the present invention can utilize the pushing block 212 and the cover plate 213 to respectively realize the pushing and pulling of the dynamic spring assembly 221, while ensuring that the distance D1 between the pushing block 212 and the cover plate 213 is not less than the thickness D2 of the dynamic spring assembly 221 at the warping point of the soft connector 2212, thereby avoiding affecting the deformation and conductive function of the dynamic spring sheet 2211 and the soft connector 2212 in different states.
[0099] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a soft connector 2212, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the two ends of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y are respectively bifurcated structures, so that the end of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y is formed with at least two end portions 22111 arranged at intervals along a third direction Z, such as the two end portions 22111 shown in the drawings, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and perpendicular to the second direction Y, and each end portion 22111 is connected to a dynamic contact 2213. The dynamic spring assembly 221 includes at least two soft connectors 2212 arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, such as the two soft connectors 2212 shown in the drawings, and the at least two soft connectors 2212 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two end portions 22111. On this basis, the movable spring piece 2211 can be provided with an avoidance hole 22112, and the position of the avoidance hole 22112 is arranged corresponding to the position of the interval between two adjacent soft connectors 2212, accordingly, the connection structure 214 passes through the avoidance hole 22112 and the interval between two adjacent soft connectors 2212, thereby connecting the push block 212 and the cover plate 213. Through the above design, the present disclosure can achieve the avoidance cooperation between the connection structure 214 and the movable spring assembly 221. At the same time, since the movable spring piece 2211 has at least two end portions 22111 at the end of the second direction Y, the contact end of the movable spring assembly 221 has at least two movable contacts 2213, accordingly, the multi-way parallel connection of the movable spring assembly 221 can be realized, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the product, and can ensure the balanced design of multiple groups of contacts of the contact assembly, and make the contact structure have the advantage of anti-adhesion.
[0100] It should be noted that in some embodiments, no matter what structure the movable spring piece 2211 adopts, corresponding avoidance holes can be opened in the movable spring piece 2211 and the flexible connector 2212 respectively, and accordingly, the connecting structure 214 can pass through the avoidance hole of the movable spring piece 2211 and the avoidance hole of the flexible connector 2212.
[0101] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the contact assembly 220 may include at least two spring assemblies 221 arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, such as the two spring assemblies 221 shown in the figure. On this basis, the interval between two adjacent spring assemblies 221 can allow the connection structure 214 to pass through.
[0102] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, based on the design that the contact assembly 220 includes two dynamic spring assemblies 221, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the connection structure 214 can pass through the dynamic spring assembly 221 from at least three positions. Specifically, for each dynamic spring assembly 221, its dynamic spring piece 2211 can be provided with an avoidance hole 22112, and the gap between two soft connectors 2212 belonging to the same dynamic spring assembly 221 corresponds to the avoidance hole 22112. Accordingly, the positions of the respective avoidance holes 22112 of the two dynamic spring assemblies 221 are respectively two of the positions where the connection structure 214 passes through the dynamic spring assembly 221. Furthermore, there is a gap between the two dynamic spring assemblies 221, and the gap is the third position where the connection structure 214 passes through the two dynamic spring assemblies 221. Specifically, the connection structure 214 passes through the gap between the two dynamic spring pieces 2211, and the connection structure 214 also passes through the gap between two adjacent soft connectors 2212 belonging to different dynamic spring assemblies 221. Through the above structural design, the present disclosure can further ensure the avoidance cooperation between the connection structure 214 and the dynamic spring assembly 221 while improving the current carrying capacity of the product. In some embodiments, when the contact assembly 220 includes at least two dynamic spring assemblies 221 spaced apart along the third direction Z, on the basis that a part of the connection structure 214 passes through the gap between two adjacent sliding assemblies, the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212 can also be respectively provided with avoidance holes at corresponding positions to allow another part of the connection structure 214 to pass through, and the above embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0103] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, based on the design that the push block 212 and the cover plate 213 are connected via a connecting structure 214, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting structure 214 may include a connecting piece. One end of the connecting piece is connected to the push block 212, and the other end of the connecting piece has at least one connecting arm protruding toward the cover plate 213, and the connecting piece is connected to the cover plate 213 via the connecting arm. The connecting arm and the dynamic spring assembly 221 are in avoidance cooperation, that is, the connecting arm and the dynamic spring piece 2211 and the soft connector 2212 are in avoidance cooperation. On this basis, taking the design that the above-mentioned connecting structure 214 passes through the dynamic spring assembly 221 from three positions as an example, the connecting piece shown in the figure has three connecting arms, and the three connecting arms are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z.
[0104] like Figures 6 to 10As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, for any functional module 200, its contact assembly 220 may include at least two dynamic spring assemblies 221 arranged along a third direction Z, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and perpendicular to the second direction Y. On this basis, the static spring piece 2221 corresponds to the ends of at least two dynamic spring assemblies 221 on the same side in the second direction Y. Through the above design, the present disclosure can realize the design of at least two parallel connections of the contact assembly 220, thereby improving the current carrying capacity of the product, and ensuring the balanced design of multiple groups of contacts of the contact assembly, and making the contact structure have the advantage of anti-adhesion. For example, the contact assembly 220 in this embodiment includes two dynamic spring assemblies 221, and the end of the dynamic spring piece 2211 of each dynamic spring assembly 221 along the second direction Y adopts a bifurcated design and has two end portions 22111, and each end portion 22111 is provided with a dynamic contact, which is equivalent to each contact end of the contact assembly 220 having four dynamic contacts, that is, each static spring piece 2221 has four static contacts, thereby realizing a 4-way parallel design. In some embodiments, when the contact assembly 220 includes two dynamic spring assemblies 221, the two ends of the dynamic spring piece 2211 of each dynamic spring assembly 221 along the second direction Y may also have one, three or more end portions 22111, thereby realizing a 2-way or 6-way or more parallel design. Alternatively, when the two ends of the movable spring piece 2211 of each movable spring assembly 221 along the second direction Y also have two terminal parts 22111, the contact assembly 220 may also include one, three or more movable spring assemblies 221, thereby realizing a parallel design of 2 or more than 6 paths. Furthermore, no matter how many movable spring assemblies 221 are included in the contact assembly 220, the two ends of the movable spring piece 2211 of each movable spring assembly 221 along the second direction Y may also have two terminal parts 22111, which are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In other words, in various possible embodiments consistent with the design concept of the present disclosure, the contact end of the movable spring assembly 221 may have at least two terminal parts 22111 arranged along the third direction Z, and each terminal part 22111 is connected to a movable contact 2213.
[0105] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, still taking the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 includes a dynamic spring piece 2211 and a soft connector 2212 as an example, and when the end of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y is a bifurcated structure and is formed with at least two end portions 22111, the dynamic spring assembly 221 may include at least two soft connectors 2212 arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, and the at least two soft connectors 2212 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two end portions 22111. In other words, for one dynamic spring piece 2211, the number of soft connectors 2212 arranged corresponding to it is at least two, and the number of soft connectors 2212 is specifically equal to the number of end portions 22111 at one end of the dynamic spring piece 2211 in the second direction Y.
[0106] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable spring assembly 221 is provided with a pressing plate 2214 on the side facing the static spring piece 2221. The pressing plate 2214 is located in the middle of the movable spring assembly 221 in the second direction Y. The pressing plate 2214 is relatively fixed to the housing 100 via a connecting piece 2215 passing through the movable spring assembly 221. The connecting piece 2215 may be, for example, but not limited to, a rivet. The pressing plate 2214 is suitable for pressing against the surface of the side of the movable spring assembly 221 facing the static spring piece 2221. Through the above design, the present disclosure can utilize the pressing plate 2214 to participate in the fixing of the movable spring assembly 221 and the housing 100, increase the connection contact area, avoid structural damage to the movable spring assembly 221 caused by the connection of the connecting piece 2215, and further ensure the stability and reliability of the product.
[0107] Based on the design that the dynamic spring assembly 221 is provided with a pressure plate 2214, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure plate 2214 can be formed with a common lead-out terminal detection pin, thereby meeting the customer's demand for the lead-out of the detection signal.
[0108] Based on the design that the pressing plate 2214 is formed with a common lead-out terminal detection pin, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressing plate 2214 may include a copper plate and an iron plate stacked along the first direction X. The copper plate is formed with the above-mentioned common lead-out terminal detection pin, and the copper plate is located on the side of the iron plate facing the dynamic spring assembly 221. Through the above design, the present disclosure can use the copper plate to achieve the conductive function, thereby realizing the arrangement of the common lead-out terminal detection pin, and at the same time use the iron plate to enhance the structural strength of the pressing plate 2214, reduce the amount of copper material, and reduce the material cost. In some embodiments, when the pressing plate 2214 is formed with a common lead-out terminal detection pin, the pressing plate 2214 can also directly use a copper plate, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0109] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a heat sink 2222 may be provided on one side of the static reed piece 2221 facing away from the dynamic spring assembly 221, and the heat sink 2222 at least partially extends out of the housing 100. Through the above design, the present disclosure can utilize the heat sink 2222 to achieve heat dissipation of the static reed piece 2221, and because the heat sink 2222 passes through the housing 100 and is exposed outside the relay, the heat dissipation effect can be further accelerated.
[0110] like Figure 2 , Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, based on the design that the static reed piece 2221 is provided with the heat sink 2222, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the static reed piece 2221 can be a sheet-like structure, and the static reed piece 2221 is arranged parallel to a reference plane, and the reference plane is perpendicular to the first direction X. A portion of the static reed piece 2221 extends out of the housing 100 along a lead-out direction to form a lead-out end 22211, and the lead-out direction is parallel to the above-mentioned reference plane. The heat sink 2222 extends out of the housing 100 along the first direction X. Through the above design, the present disclosure can set the static reed 2221 at the bottom of the multi-in-one relay (i.e., at one end in the first direction X), so that the arrangement of the heat sink 2222 on the bottom surface of the static reed 2221 (i.e., the side surface facing away from the dynamic spring assembly 221) is more convenient. At the same time, combined with the design of the horizontal lead-out of the lead-out end 22211 of the static reed 2221, it is possible to avoid the problem of interference with the structure of the heat sink 2222 when the static reed 2221 is led out longitudinally (for example, bent and led out along the first direction X). In this way, the present disclosure can make the heat sink 2222 directly and more fully connected to the static reed 2221, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the static reed 2221.
[0111] Based on the design that the static reed piece 2221 is provided with a heat sink 2222 and formed with a lead-out end 22211, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, along the lead-out direction, the distance between the connection between the heat sink 2222 and the static reed piece 2221 and the static contact point can be smaller than the distance between the lead-out end 22211 and the static contact point. Through the above design, since the heat of the static reed piece 2221 is mainly concentrated at the contact point contact position, that is, the static contact point, the present disclosure can make the heat of the static reed piece 2221 be transferred to the heat sink 2222 faster and more fully, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the static reed piece 2221.
[0112] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, based on the design that the static reed 2221 is provided with a heat sink 2222 and formed with a lead-out terminal 22211, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, along the lead-out direction of the lead-out terminal 22211, the connection between the heat sink 2222 and the static reed 2221 can be located between the lead-out terminal 22211 and the static contact. Through the above design, the present disclosure can make the heat sink 2222 closer to the static contact than the lead-out terminal 22211, improve the heat dissipation effect of the static reed 2221, and prevent the heat sink 2222 from affecting the arrangement of the lead-out terminal 22211 and the static contact.
[0113] like Figure 2As shown, based on the design that the static spring piece 2221 is formed with the lead-out end 22211, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the lead-out direction of the lead-out end 22211 can be the second direction Y, and the lead-out ends 22211 of the two static spring pieces 2221 belonging to one contact component 220 extend in opposite directions. In some embodiments, according to different application requirements, the lead-out direction of the lead-out end 22211 can also be a third direction Z, which is perpendicular to the first direction X and perpendicular to the second direction Y, and the lead-out ends 22211 of the two static spring pieces 2221 belonging to one contact component 220 extend in the same direction, or the lead-out ends 22211 of the two static spring pieces 2221 belonging to one contact component 220 extend in opposite directions, which are not limited to this embodiment.
[0114] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, based on the design that the static spring piece 2221 is provided with a heat sink 2222, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat sink 2222 has a heat exchange plane, and the heat exchange plane is entirely attached to the side of the static spring piece 2221 facing away from the dynamic spring assembly 221. Through the above design, the present disclosure can increase the heat exchange area between the heat sink 2222 and the static spring piece 2221, and further improve the heat dissipation effect of the static spring piece 2221.
[0115] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, based on the design that the static spring piece 2221 is provided with a heat sink 2222, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat sink 2222 may be a heat sink fin group. In some embodiments, the heat sink 2222 may also adopt other heat dissipation structures.
[0116] like Figure 2 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, based on the design that the static reed 2221 is provided with a heat sink 2222, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 100 may be provided with a window 131, and the window 131 may be specifically provided in the second shell 130 of the housing 100, and the window 131 can allow the heat sink 2222 to extend. On this basis, an insulating structure may be provided between the window 131 and the heat sink 2222. Through the above design, the present disclosure can ensure the insulation effect of the housing 100 at the window 131, and improve the insulation performance of the all-in-one relay.
[0117] like Figures 1 to 3 , Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 100 may include a base 110, three first shells 120 and three second shells 130. The base 110 has three first cavities 111 separated from each other, and the first cavity 111 penetrates along the first direction X. The first shell 120 and the second shell 130 are respectively connected to the two sides of the base 110 in the first direction X, and the three first shells 120 correspond to the three first cavities 111 respectively, and the three second shells 130 correspond to the three first cavities 111 respectively. The first cavities 111, the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 corresponding to each other form a receiving space together, so that the housing 100 has three receiving spaces, which are separated from each other, and the three receiving spaces are respectively used to receive three functional modules 200. It should be noted that this embodiment is described by taking a three-phase product as an example, that is, the multi-in-one relay includes three functional modules 200. In some embodiments, the multi-in-one relay proposed in the present disclosure may also include two, four or more functional modules 200, and the structure of the housing 100 can be adjusted accordingly based on the above design. In other words, in various possible implementations consistent with the design concept of the present disclosure, the housing 100 includes at least two first housings 120 and at least two second housings 130, the base 110 has at least two first cavities 111, and the housing 100 has at least two accommodating spaces, which are respectively used to accommodate at least two functional modules 200. Through the above design, the present disclosure can use the housing 100 to achieve the superposition of at least two functional modules 200, and each functional module 200 roughly corresponds to the function of a two-in-one relay, that is, the housing 100 can achieve the superposition of at least two two-in-one relays. Among them, the base 110 of the housing 100 can serve as a bridge between at least two functional modules 200 to achieve an overall structural arrangement, and at the same time can ensure the insulation isolation between each functional module 200 and between the two magnetic circuit units 230 inside a single functional module 200. On this basis, the present invention can more conveniently fix the above-mentioned magnetic circuit unit 230 and the lead end 22211 of the static spring piece 2221 through the common seat body 110 through the connecting piece, further reducing the difficulty of assembly, and at the same time can make the assembly positioning of the above-mentioned components in the housing 100 more precise.

For each first shell 120, the first shell 120 can have two second cavities arranged along the second direction Y and separated from each other, and the two magnetic circuit units 230 of the contact assembly 220 are respectively accommodated in the two second cavities. The static spring 2221 partially extends out of the second shell 130 to form a lead-out end 22211. In some embodiments, the two second cavities in the first shell 120 may not be separated, that is, the two second cavities may be a through-going integral chamber, and the two magnetic circuit units 230 may be arranged in the integral chamber at intervals along the second direction Y, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0119] like Fig.16 As shown, based on the design that the housing 100 includes a seat body 110 and the seat body 110 has a first cavity 111, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first partition 112 may be provided in the first cavity 111.

Since most of the structure of the functional module 200 is contained in the housing 100 and is not exposed, when observing the accompanying drawings, the position and arrangement of each functional module 200 can be understood according to the position of each first shell 120 or each second shell 130 of the housing 100. In some embodiments, at least two functional modules 200 may also be arranged along the second direction Y, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0124] It should be noted that, when at least two functional modules 200 are arranged along the third direction Z, the lead-out direction of the lead-out ends 22211 of the two static spring pieces 2221 of each contact component 220 may be oppositely led out along the second direction Y as shown in the figure. When at least two functional modules 200 are arranged along the second direction Y, the lead-out direction of the lead-out ends 22211 of the static spring pieces 2221 may be adaptively adjusted, for example, the lead-out direction of the lead-out ends 22211 of the two static spring pieces 2221 of each contact component 220 may be changed to oppositely led out or led out in the same direction along the third direction Z, which is not limited to this embodiment.
[0125] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the all-in-one relay proposed in the present disclosure may be a three-phase relay, and the three-phase relay includes three functional modules 200 .
[0126] It should be noted that the all-in-one relays shown in the drawings and described in this specification are only a few examples of the many types of all-in-one relays that can employ the principles of the present disclosure. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present disclosure are by no means limited to any details or any components of the all-in-one relays shown in the drawings or described in this specification.
[0127] In summary, the multi-in-one relay proposed in the present disclosure includes a housing 100 and at least two functional modules 200; the functional module 200 is arranged on the housing 100, and includes two pushers, a contact assembly 220 and two magnetic circuit units 230; the pusher is suitable for moving along a first direction X relative to the housing 100; the contact assembly 220 includes a movable spring assembly 221 and two static spring pieces 2221; the two ends of the movable spring assembly 221 in a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X are contact ends, and the middle part of the movable spring assembly 221 in the second direction Y is connected to the housing 100. 0 is relatively fixed, and the two contact ends follow the two pushers respectively; the static spring piece 2221 is located on one side of the dynamic spring assembly 221 in the first direction X, and the two static spring pieces 2221 are arranged corresponding to the two contact ends respectively; the magnetic circuit unit 230 is located on the other side of the dynamic spring assembly 221 in the first direction X and includes a coil assembly 231, which is suitable for exciting and de-exciting the coil assembly 231 to drive the pusher to move along the first direction X, so as to drive the moving contact 2213 set at the contact end and the static contact set at the static spring piece 2221 to close or open. Through the above design, the present disclosure sets at least two functional modules 200 together in the housing 100, realizing the integrated design of at least two functional modules 200, and each functional module 200 adopts a design including two pushers and two magnetic circuit units 230, which is equivalent to forming two relay units that can be independently controlled, realizing an "N×2" integrated form of multi-in-one relay, where "N" represents the number of functional modules 200, and "2" represents that each functional module 200 includes two relay units that can be independently controlled. Accordingly, the present disclosure can reduce the volume of the product, which is conducive to meeting the needs of miniaturized design and improving assembly efficiency. On this basis, the contact assembly 220 of each functional module 200 of the present disclosure includes two static springs 2221, which is equivalent to the above-mentioned relay unit only using one static spring 2221 for lead-out, thereby reducing the number of connection points of the lead-out terminal 22211 (taking a three-phase product as an example, the number of connection points is reduced from 12 in the existing solution to 6 in the present disclosure), thereby reducing the increase in process and material costs caused by heat dissipation treatment of the connection points, while further reducing space occupancy, and can reduce welding risks, which can meet the application of larger load currents.
