Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of double - contact relays, and more specifically, the utility model relates to a novel double - contact relay.
Background Art
[0002] A magnetic latching relay is an electronic control device that plays roles such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion in a circuit, and is widely used in devices such as power protection, automation, motion, remote control, measurement, and communication. A magnetic latching relay generally includes a base, a yoke assembly, a magnet assembly, a moving reed assembly, a static reed assembly, and a push piece. The coil is wound on the skeleton of the yoke assembly. When the direction of the current in the coil changes, the yoke in the yoke assembly will cause the magnet assembly to rotate, thereby pushing the push piece to separate or close the moving contact and the static contact.
[0003] An existing double - contact relay, with the publication number of CN 114999860 A, includes a reed. One end of the reed is a fixed end, and the other end is a free end that can swing under the drive of electromagnetic force; a first moving contact and a second moving contact are provided on the reed; a first static contact is provided at a position corresponding to the first moving contact, and a second static contact is provided at a position corresponding to the second moving contact; the first moving contact and the first static contact form a first pair of contacts, and the second moving contact and the second static contact form a second pair of contacts; the swinging angle of the reed required for the first pair of contacts to contact is greater than the swinging angle of the reed required for the second pair of contacts to contact; the electrical conductivity of the material of the first pair of contacts is higher than that of the second pair of contacts; the arc - erosion resistance and wear resistance of the material of the first pair of contacts are lower than those of the second pair of contacts. This double - contact relay sets two contacts with different materials and properties to achieve the advantages of high conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, when this double - contact relay is in use, the purpose of sequential contact is achieved by the thickness of the contacts, but this will cause uneven contact pressure, and the service life of the relay will be reduced after long - term use.

A microswitch 2 is provided on one side of the magnet assembly 5. The other side of the magnet assembly 5 is clamped under the push piece 6. Several contact assemblies are provided on the upper side of the base 1. A static spring lead piece 8 is provided at the top of the contact assemblies. The main contact 11 and the upper auxiliary contact 13 are arranged in parallel on the static spring lead piece 8. The lower main contact 10 is correspondingly provided below the main contact 11. The lower auxiliary contact 12 is correspondingly provided below the upper auxiliary contact 13. The sizes of the lower main contact 10 and the upper main contact 11 are larger than those of the lower auxiliary contact 12 and the upper auxiliary contact 13. The installation heights of the lower main contact 10 and the lower auxiliary contact 12 are the same. The installation heights of the upper main contact 11 and the upper auxiliary contact 13 are the same. The lower main contact 10 and the lower auxiliary contact 12 are installed on one side of the conductive piece 9. One side of the conductive piece 9 is fixed on one side of the moving spring lead piece 7. The moving spring lead piece 7 and the static spring lead piece 8 extend out of the base 1. The other side of the conductive piece 9 is arranged in the slot of the push piece 6. The conductive piece 9 includes a conductive piece one 91, a conductive piece two 92, a conductive piece three 93, and a stainless steel elastic piece 94. The conductive piece one 91, the conductive piece two 92, and the conductive piece three 93 are grooved in the center, and the lower main contact 10 and the lower auxiliary contact 12 are respectively arranged on both sides. The conductive piece one 91, the conductive piece two 92, and the conductive piece three 93 are stacked in a "ji" shape in sequence. A stainless steel elastic piece 94 is bent downward on the side of the conductive piece 9 away from the moving spring lead piece 7.
[0026] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, for a new type of double-contact relay, the push piece 6 includes a longitudinal connecting piece 61, several contact components, and an auxiliary piece 64. The longitudinal connecting piece 61 is provided with several contact components on the inner side. The contact components include an upper contact piece 62 and a lower contact piece 63. The conductive piece 9 is arranged below the upper contact piece 62. A step block 621 is provided below the upper contact piece 62 near one side of the lower auxiliary contact 12. The lower contact piece 63 is arranged below the conductive piece 9. The lower side of the lower contact piece 63 is connected to the auxiliary piece 64. The auxiliary piece 64 is movably arranged up and down in the slot of the moving spring lead piece 7. The push piece 6 further includes a connecting groove 65. A push rod 52 is connected in the connecting groove 65.
[0027] Refer to Figure 5, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a new type of double-contact relay, the magnet assembly 5 includes a rotating body 51, a push rod 52, and an armature plate 53. The rotating body 51 is rotatably connected to the support frame 4. A push rod 52 is arranged on the rotating body 51 close to one side of the push piece 6. The push rod 52 is connected to the lower end of the push piece 6. Armature plates 53 are arranged on both sides of the rotating body 51.
[0028] For a new type of double-contact relay of the present utility model, when it is turned on and used, the coil 3 is energized through a switch, and the magnet assembly 5 on the support frame 4 rotates around the axis, so that the armature plates 53 on both sides are attracted by magnetic force to the connection ends on both sides of the coil 3. The push rod 52 on one side rotates, and the armature plate 53 on the upper right side contacts the stainless steel push rod under the micro switch 2. The micro switch 2 can feedback the position state of the magnet assembly 5 to monitor the situation of the contact assembly. The rotation of the push rod 52 enables the connection groove 65 to move the push piece 6 up and down. When the push piece 6 moves down, due to the step block 621 arranged on the upper contact piece 62 close to one side of the lower auxiliary contact 12, the lower auxiliary contact 12 is preferentially disconnected from the upper auxiliary contact 13, and then the lower main contact 10 is disconnected from the upper main contact 11, achieving the disconnection of the contacts. Due to the sequence of disconnection, the generation of arc shock or loop impedance phenomenon can be effectively avoided, improving the safety of the circuit; when the reverse current is passed through the coil 3, the magnet assembly 5 rotates in the reverse direction, and the reverse rotation of the moving rod causes the connection groove 65 to drive the push piece to move up. Due to the step block 621 arranged on the upper contact piece 62 close to one side of the lower auxiliary contact 12, the lower main contact 10 and the upper main contact 11 are preferentially closed, and then the lower auxiliary contact 12 and the upper auxiliary contact 13 are closed, achieving the closing of the contacts. The size of the main contact is larger than that of the auxiliary contact, and the strength is higher than that of the auxiliary contact. By the preferential closing and opening of the auxiliary contacts, the cost can be saved while protecting the auxiliary contacts and improving the safety of this type of relay. Since the conductive sheet 9 connected to the lower contact is provided with multiple conductive sheets, the contact circuit is also protected, increasing its safety. A stainless steel elastic sheet 94 is arranged on one side of the conductive sheet 9. The bending degree of the stainless steel elastic sheet 94 is greater than that of the upper conductive sheet group. The stainless steel elastic sheet 94 is of an integral structure, and slots are arranged in the middle of both the stainless steel elastic sheet 94 and the upper conductive sheet group, which can ensure the independent operation of the main contact and the auxiliary contact and they will not directly affect each other.
[0029] The above embodiment is an illustration of the present utility model, not a limitation of the present utility model. Any scheme obtained by simply changing the present utility model belongs to the protection scope of the present utility model.
