Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of relays, in particular to a relay with a self-detection function. Background Art
[0002] The principle of the relay is to use the rated voltage in the coil to generate electromagnetic force, control the upper and lower contacts to close and open. Its function is to increase the normally open and normally closed contacts as switches and current amplification. It is usually used in conjunction with contactors, frequency converters, PLCs, etc., generally through the normally open and normally closed of the relay to control the coil of the contactor and increase the auxiliary contacts, increase the contacts inside the PLC output, and the auxiliary terminals of the frequency converter to connect the signal. In electrical equipment, when a certain period of time is reached, the line will age, and dangerous arcs will be generated on these aged lines. The characteristics of the fault arc are high temperature and short duration. Once a breakdown point appears, a carbonization path will be formed and appear frequently, and the fault will expand rapidly until the nearby combustibles are ignited and cause a fire. Generally, relays designed to prevent circuit leakage and overcurrent cannot detect arc faults, making arc faults the biggest hidden danger to safe electricity use.
[0003] After searching, it was found that the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN220627699U disclosed a relay, including: a shell, provided with a receiving cavity and an opening; a bottom plate, arranged at the opening, the bottom plate having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface facing the receiving cavity, and the second surface facing away from the receiving cavity; a circuit control body, arranged in the receiving cavity, including a skeleton, a coil and a square wire, the coil is wound on the skeleton, the square wire is connected to the skeleton and connected to the coil, and the square wire is passed through the bottom plate; a lead-out terminal is connected to the second surface of the bottom plate and connected to the square wire. The relay in the utility model installs the lead-out terminal on the bottom plate, and the square wire is connected to the lead-out terminal after passing through the bottom plate. In this way, the installation and fixation of the lead-out terminal is realized, and the connection between the lead-out terminal and the square wire is also realized, avoiding the need to set a mounting plate for mounting the lead-out terminal on the skeleton of the coil, saving the installation space inside the shell, and facilitating the winding and installation of the coil on the skeleton.
[0004] The above utility model has the following problems:
[0005] The lack of self-detection function means that when a fault arc occurs, the circuit cannot be effectively disconnected, causing the temperature of the electromagnetic relay to rise rapidly, a breakdown point to appear, a carbonization path to form and appear frequently, and the fault to expand rapidly until it ignites nearby combustible materials and causes a fire.
