When the load is large during use, arcing is likely to occur, causing relay failure. In addition, it is difficult to install the position detection structure of the moving reed in existing trapezoidal relays due to the limited installation space.

[0028] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, a trapezoidal relay comprises a housing 1 and a side plate 2 and a mounting cavity formed therein, a frame 3 is arranged in the mounting cavity, a hollow sleeve structure is vertically installed in the middle position of the frame 3, an iron core is coaxially fixed to the center of the sleeve structure, a coil 4 is arranged outside the sleeve structure, lead pins 5 are also arranged at symmetrical positions on both sides of the coil 4, the lead pins 5 are fixed in the frame 3, the ends of the two lead pins 5 located in the mounting cavity are electrically connected to the two lead-out ends of the coil 4, the ends of the two lead pins 5 located outside the side plate 2 are electrically connected to the electromagnet drive circuit, and the sleeve structure, the iron core, the coil 4 and the electromagnet drive circuit constitute an electromagnet structure;

[0031] The yoke 6 is half-wrapped and arranged outside the electromagnet structure, the short side of the yoke 6 is arranged at one end of the electromagnet structure, and the armature 9 is rotatably arranged at one end of the long side of the yoke 6, and the armature 9 is located at the other end of the electromagnet structure, and a movable spring 10 is arranged between the yoke 6 and the armature 9, and the two ends of the movable spring 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the armature 9 and the outer side wall of the yoke 6. Since the movable spring 10 is a flexible thin sheet metal material and a telescopic margin is arranged at its turning point, the yoke 6 and the armature 9 can rotate smoothly and freely, and under the flexible elastic force of the movable spring 10, the armature 9 always has a tendency to rotate upward without being subjected to electromagnetic force or external force;

[0032] An auxiliary moving spring 11 is fixed to the top of one end of the moving spring 10 fixed to the armature 9, and a common terminal 8 is fixed to the outer side of one end of the moving spring 10 fixed to the yoke 6. A braided wire 12 is provided between the auxiliary moving spring 11 and the common terminal 8 and is electrically connected through the braided wire 12;

[0033] Main contacts that cooperate with each other are arranged at the corresponding positions of the top of the static spring piece 13 and the bottom of the dynamic spring piece 10, which are clamped and fixed at the top position of the skeleton 3. An auxiliary static spring piece 14 is arranged at the position directly above the static spring piece 13, and the auxiliary static spring piece 14 is clamped and fixed with the skeleton 3. The pins of the auxiliary static spring piece 14 and the static spring piece 13 extend from the side plate 2 to the outside. An extension piece is arranged on the side of the dynamic spring piece 10 close to the auxiliary static spring piece 14. The extension piece is bent upward for a section to form a buffer gap 101 with a very small spacing between the armature 9. The extension piece is arranged directly below the auxiliary static spring piece 14. Auxiliary contacts that cooperate with each other are arranged at the top of the extension piece and the bottom of the auxiliary static spring piece 14. The setting of the buffer gap 101 makes the two corresponding auxiliary contacts on the auxiliary static spring piece 14 and the static spring piece 13 play a buffering role when they are closed, so that the bounce is smaller, the contact is more stable, and the volatility of the circuit is reduced;

[0034] When the utility model is in use, the external control circuit uses the common terminal 8 and the static spring piece 13 as the input terminal and the output terminal respectively. After the electromagnet is turned on, the electromagnet attracts the armature 9, so that the main contacts on the moving spring piece 10 and the static spring piece 13 are closed, and the circuit between the common terminal 8 and the static spring piece 13 is connected. At the same time, the auxiliary static spring piece 14 is disconnected from the auxiliary contact on the moving spring piece 10, so that the auxiliary detection circuit is disconnected, indicating that the main contact is closed. Similarly, when the electromagnet is not turned on, the armature 9 rebounds upward under the action of the moving spring piece 10 until the auxiliary contact on the extension piece of the moving spring piece 10 and the auxiliary contact on the auxiliary static spring piece 14 are connected. The contacts are closed, so that the auxiliary detection circuit is connected, indicating that the main contact is in the disconnected state; it should be noted that two current paths are formed between the common terminal 8 and the static reed 13, the first current path is composed of the common terminal 8, the moving reed 10 and the static reed 13, and the second current path is composed of the common terminal 8, the braided wire 12, the auxiliary moving reed 11 and the static reed 13. The second current path carries most of the load current, and the first current path carries a small part of the load current, so the moving reed 10 can be selected with a thinner thickness or a narrower width to allow the relay to have a larger contact gap to avoid arcing.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] like Figure 6-7As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, a dummy static spring piece 15 can be fixedly installed at the installation position where the auxiliary static spring piece 14 is located, so as to limit the rebound height of the dynamic spring piece 10 and maximize the gap size between the main contacts within a limited space. At this time, the extension piece setting on the dynamic spring piece 10 in the first embodiment is cancelled; and the auxiliary static spring piece 14 and the dummy static spring piece 15 can be flexibly selected and installed according to different application scenarios.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
