DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 18 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-voltage DC relay, including an insulating cover 1, an insulating seat 2 and an auxiliary static spring 3. The insulating cover 1 is connected to the insulating seat 2, and the insulating cover 1 is provided with a fixing hole; a mounting structure 21 is provided on the side of the insulating seat 2 facing the insulating cover 1, and the auxiliary static spring 3 has a contact end and a lead-out end. The part of the auxiliary static spring 3 close to the contact end is installed on the mounting structure 21, and the part of the auxiliary static spring 3 close to the lead-out end is passed through the fixing hole, and the lead-out end is located outside the insulating cover 1.

[0057] The high-voltage DC relay provided in this embodiment installs the part of the auxiliary static spring close to the contact end on the installation structure 21, and passes the part of the auxiliary static spring close to the lead-out end through the fixing hole to achieve stable installation of the auxiliary static spring. The lead-out end of the auxiliary static spring is located outside the insulating cover 1 to achieve signal detection.

[0058] In one embodiment, the high-voltage DC relay also includes a shell 9 and an iron cup 10, the iron cup 10 is installed inside the shell 9, the insulating cover 1 and the insulating seat 2 are installed in the iron cup 10, and a sealant layer 100 is provided between the shell 9 and the iron cup 10 and between the shell 9 and the insulating cover 1.

[0059] The insulating cover 1 is close to the opening of the iron cup 10, and the insulating seat 2 is close to the bottom of the iron cup 10. In this embodiment, the fixing hole is set at the top of the insulating cover 1, and there is no need to punch the side wall of the iron cup 10. The lead-out end of the auxiliary static spring can be directly led out from the top of the insulating cover 1, which is convenient for filling sealant for sealing.

[0060] For example, the sealant layer 100 may be cured epoxy glue.

[0061] For example, the insulating cover 1 may be made of ceramic, and the insulating base 2 and the mounting structure 21 may be made of plastic. The insulating base 2 and the mounting structure 21 may be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0062] It should be noted that when ceramic brazing sealing is adopted, the high voltage DC relay may not be provided with an iron cup. In this case, the fixing hole may be provided on the side wall of the insulating cover, and the auxiliary static spring may pass through the side wall of the insulating cover.

[0063] In one embodiment, the high-voltage DC relay also includes an auxiliary dynamic spring; the mounting structure 21 is provided with a limiting slot 211; the auxiliary static spring includes a fixed section 31 and a lead-out section 32, the fixed section 31 is connected to the lead-out section 32, the free end of the fixed section 31 is a contact end, and the free end of the lead-out section 32 is a lead-out end; a portion of the fixed section 31 is limited in the limiting slot 211, and the portion of the fixed section 31 located outside the limiting slot 211 can contact the auxiliary dynamic spring.

[0064] By limiting and fixing a part of the fixed section 31 in the limiting groove 211, it is ensured that the fixed section 31 can be stably located in the limiting groove 211 when in contact with the auxiliary dynamic spring, and is less likely to shake or shift, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary dynamic spring and the fixed section 31 can still be in reliable contact after multiple engagements.

[0065] In one embodiment, the auxiliary static spring is a rod-shaped structure; the mounting structure 21 is provided with a guide groove, which is connected to the limit groove 211; the extension direction of the guide groove is perpendicular to the extension direction of the limit groove 211; from the bottom of the guide groove to the direction of the groove mouth, the guide groove includes a first groove portion 2121 and a second groove portion 2122, the first groove portion 2121 is connected to the second groove portion 2122, and the width of the first groove portion 2121 is greater than the width of the second groove portion 2122; the fixed section 31 includes a round rod The portion 311 and the thinning portion 312 are configured such that, along the width direction of the guide groove, the width of the thinning portion 312 is smaller than the diameter of the lead-out section 32, and the width of the thinning portion 312 is adapted to the width of the second groove portion 2122, so that the thinning portion 312 can move to the limiting groove 211 along the extension direction of the second groove portion 2122, and the portion of the lead-out section 32 close to the fixed section 31 is located in the first groove portion 2121; the arc surface of the round rod portion 311 located outside the limiting groove 211 can contact the auxiliary dynamic spring.

[0066] For example, during assembly, Figure 3 Install the auxiliary static spring in the mounting structure from top to bottom, following the direction of arrow F. Specifically, insert the lead-out section 32 into the first slot 2121 and move along the first slot 2121 until the fixed section 31 is located in the retaining slot 211. After assembly, the second slot 2122 stops the lead-out section 32 within the first slot 2121, preventing it from escaping from the second slot 2122 along the X-axis. Furthermore, the thinned portion 312 is adapted to the width of the second slot 2122, and the walls of the second slot 2122 limit movement of the lead-out section 32 along the Y-axis.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 As shown, the high-voltage DC relay also includes a static contact 5, which is installed on the top of the insulating cover 1; the vertical distance between the lead end and the center line of the static contact 5 is greater than the vertical distance between the end of the lead section 32 connected to the fixed section 31 and the center line of the static contact 5.

[0068] Exemplarily, there are two static contacts 5, one of which serves as a terminal for current inflow and the other serves as a terminal for current outflow, and the static contacts 5 are provided with a main static contact; the high-voltage DC relay also includes an active spring 6, on which an active contact can be provided, and the active contact can contact or separate with the main static contact.

[0069] The bottom of the insulating cover 1 is an open end, and a part of the insulating seat 2 is fixedly installed in the open end; a sealing member is provided between the insulating cover 1 and the insulating seat 2.

[0070] See also Figure 18As shown, the vertical distance d1 between the lead-out end and the center line of the static contact 5 is greater than the vertical distance d2 between the end of the lead-out section 32 connected to the fixed section 31 and the center line of the static contact 5. This can make the lead-out end away from the main static contact, increase the safety distance, and thus improve the strong and weak electrical insulation performance.

[0071] The center line of the static contact 5 refers to the axis of the cylindrical static contact.

[0072] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 As shown, the lead-out section 32 includes a first connecting section 321, a second connecting section 322 and a third connecting section 323. The first connecting section 321 is connected to the fixed section 31. At least a portion of the first connecting section 321 is located in the first groove portion 2121. One end of the second connecting section 322 is connected to the first connecting section 321. The second connecting section 322 extends in a direction away from the center line of the static contact 5 until the other end of the second connecting section 322 is located below the fixing hole. The third connecting section 323 is passed through the fixing hole in a direction parallel to the center line of the static contact 5.

[0073] Exemplarily, the second connecting section 322 is parallel to the fixing section 31, and both the second connecting section 322 and the second connecting section 323 are located on the same side of the first connecting section 321. The other end of the second connecting section 322 is located below the fixing hole, ensuring that the third connecting section 323 is inserted into the fixing hole in a direction parallel to the centerline of the static contact 5. This ensures that the lead-out terminal is away from the main static contact, improving strong and weak electrical insulation performance; at the same time, it also facilitates assembly and improves installation stability.

[0074] It should be understood that if the lead-out section is directly led vertically upward to the outside of the insulating cover, the vertical distance between the lead-out end of the auxiliary static spring and the center line of the static contact 5 is equal to d2. Compared with the scheme of setting the second connecting section so that the third connecting section 323 is passed through the fixing hole in a direction parallel to the center line of the static contact 5, it is closer to the main static contact and the safety distance may not be guaranteed.

[0075] In one embodiment, a positioning structure is provided on the top surface of the insulating cover 1 facing the insulating seat 2 , and the positioning structure abuts against the second connecting section 322 to press and fix the portion of the auxiliary static spring close to the contact end to the mounting structure 21 .

[0076] Specifically, after the insulating cover 1 is mounted on the insulating seat 2 , the positioning structure can abut against the second connecting section 322 , thereby pressing and fixing the fixing section 31 of the auxiliary static spring in the limiting groove 211 .

[0077] See also Figure 1 As shown, the positioning structure includes a protrusion 11 , and the protrusion 11 abuts against the second connecting section 322 .

[0078] Exemplarily, there are multiple protrusions 11. After the insulating cover 1 is installed on the insulating seat 2, the multiple protrusions 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second connecting section 322, so that pressure can be applied to the second connecting section 322 more evenly, further improving the installation stability.

[0079] In one embodiment, an auxiliary movable spring is located on one side of the fixed section 31 near the top of the insulating cover 1, so that the auxiliary movable spring and the auxiliary static spring form a normally closed auxiliary contact assembly. Specifically, the auxiliary movable spring is located between the fixed section 31 and the second connecting section 322. The high-voltage DC relay also includes a yoke plate 7, a push rod 8, a moving iron core, and a static iron core. The insulating base 2 is mounted on the yoke plate 7. The insulating base 2 and the yoke plate 7 are provided with a through hole for the push rod 8 to pass through. One end of the push rod 8 is connected to the moving iron core, and the other end of the push rod 8 is connected to the active spring 6. The auxiliary movable spring moves with the active spring 6.

[0080] When the relay is not powered, the moving iron core and the static iron core are separated, and the active contact and the main static contact are disconnected. At this time, the contact section is in contact with the auxiliary static spring; when the relay is powered, the moving iron core and the static iron core are attracted, and the active contact and the main static contact are closed. At this time, the contact section is separated from the auxiliary static spring.

[0081] In other embodiments, the auxiliary movable spring and auxiliary static spring can also form a normally open contact assembly. When the relay is de-energized, the movable and static iron cores separate, the active contact disconnects from the main static contact, and the contact segment separates from the auxiliary static spring. When the relay is energized, the movable and static iron cores attract, the active contact closes with the main static contact, and the contact segment contacts the auxiliary static spring.

[0082] In one embodiment, the auxiliary dynamic spring is installed on the push rod 8, and the end of the first connecting section 321 away from the fixed section 31 is bent to form an avoidance section 324, and the avoidance section 324 is connected to the second connecting section 322. The auxiliary dynamic spring has a width direction. Along the width direction of the auxiliary dynamic spring, the avoidance section 324 extends from the first connecting section 321 in the direction away from the push rod 8, so that the vertical distance between the second connecting section 322 and the axis of the push rod 8 is greater than the distance between the fixed section 31 and the axis of the push rod 8.

[0083] For example, see Figure 11 As shown, the push rod 8 is integrally formed with a fixing portion 81, and the auxiliary dynamic spring and the fixing portion 81 can be installed together by injection molding. When the push rod 8 drives the active spring 6 to move, the auxiliary dynamic spring moves with the active spring 6. It should be noted that Figures 6 to 9 The auxiliary dynamic spring shown can also be installed on the fixed part 81.

[0084] For example, the width of the auxiliary dynamic spring is perpendicular to the fixed section 31. During assembly, the auxiliary static spring is typically installed first, followed by the push rod 8 with the auxiliary dynamic spring. To prevent interference between the auxiliary dynamic spring and the second connecting section 322 during installation of the push rod 8, a relief section 324 is formed at the end of the first connecting section 321 away from the fixed section 31. This relief section 324 extends from the first connecting section 321 away from the push rod 8 along the width of the auxiliary dynamic spring. This ensures that the vertical distance between the second connecting section 322 and the axis of the push rod 8 is greater than the distance between the fixed section 31 and the axis of the push rod 8, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary dynamic spring can move with the push rod 8 below the second connecting section 322.

[0085] In one embodiment, the projection of one side of the auxiliary dynamic spring away from the push rod 8 in the setting plane is located on the side of the projection of the second connecting section 322 in the setting plane close to the push rod 8, wherein the setting plane is perpendicular to the axis of the push rod 8.

[0086] Because push rod 8 reciprocates under the influence of the core, a certain clearance exists between the circumferential surface of push rod 8 and the walls of the through-holes in insulating seat 2 and yoke iron plate 7, but this clearance should not be too large. Push rod 8 is tilted slightly before downward assembly to ensure that the auxiliary dynamic spring does not interfere with the second connecting section 322. Regardless of whether push rod 8 is tilted, as long as the projection of the side of the auxiliary dynamic spring away from push rod 8 in the set plane is located on the side of the projection of the second connecting section 322 in the set plane closer to push rod 8, the auxiliary dynamic spring can be guaranteed not to interfere with the second connecting section 322 during assembly.

[0087] In one embodiment, the lead-out section 32 is integrally formed with the fixed section 31. This method is easy to process, and can improve the overall structural strength of the auxiliary static spring and reduce the risk of breakage.

[0088] In one embodiment, there are two auxiliary static springs, designated as a first auxiliary static spring 3a and a second auxiliary static spring 3b. The auxiliary dynamic spring includes a first auxiliary dynamic spring 41. One end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 contacts or separates from the fixed section 31 of the first auxiliary static spring 3a, while the other end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 contacts or separates from the fixed section 31 of the second auxiliary static spring 3b. This forms a bridge-type auxiliary contact structure. Specifically, when the relay is not powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are separated, and the active contact and the main static contact are disconnected. At this time, one end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 is in contact with the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the other end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 is in contact with the second auxiliary static spring 3b; when the relay is powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are attracted, and the moving iron core drives the push rod 8 to move, and the push rod 8 drives the active spring 6 to move, so that the active contact and the main static contact are closed; at the same time, the push rod 8 can also drive the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 to move, so that one end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 is separated from the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the other end of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 is separated from the second auxiliary static spring 3b.

[0089] In one embodiment, the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 includes a first main body portion 411. Along the extension direction of the first main body portion 411, both ends of the first main body portion 411 are bent to form contact sections, and the contact sections formed at both ends of the first main body portion 411 are respectively a first contact section 412 and a second contact section 413; the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 can move relative to the auxiliary static spring so that the first contact section 412 and the second contact section 413 respectively contact the fixed section 31 of the first auxiliary static spring 3a and the fixed section 31 of the second auxiliary static spring 3b, or the first contact section 412 and the second contact section 413 are respectively separated from the fixed section 31 of the first auxiliary static spring 3a and the fixed section 31 of the second auxiliary static spring 3b.

[0090] When the relay is not powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are separated, and the active contact and the main static contact are disconnected. At this time, the first contact segment 412 contacts the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the second contact segment 413 contacts the second auxiliary static spring 3b; when the relay is powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are attracted, the moving iron core drives the push rod 8 to move, and the push rod 8 drives the active spring 6 to move, so that the active contact and the main static contact are closed; at the same time, the push rod 8 can also drive the first auxiliary moving spring 41 to move, so that the first contact segment 412 is separated from the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the second contact segment 413 is separated from the second auxiliary static spring 3b.

[0091] In one embodiment, the auxiliary dynamic spring further includes a second auxiliary dynamic spring 42, which is connected to the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41. A buffer space is provided between the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 and the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41, allowing the contact section and the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 to undergo elastic deformation. One end of the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 contacts the fixed section 31 of the first auxiliary static spring 3a, while the other end of the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 contacts the fixed section 31 of the second auxiliary static spring 3b. This creates a bridge-type multi-contact parallel connection, further improving contact reliability.

[0092] In one embodiment, the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 includes a second main body 421. Both ends of the second main body 421 are bent along their extension direction to form bent sections. These bent sections are respectively a first bent section 422 and a second bent section 423. The second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 is movable relative to the auxiliary static spring, such that the first bent section 422 and the second bent section 423 respectively contact the fixed sections 31 and 31 of the first and second auxiliary static springs 3a and 3b, or separate from the fixed sections 31 and 31 of the first and second auxiliary static springs 3a and 3b, respectively. This not only forms a bridge-type multi-contact parallel connection, further improving contact reliability, but also makes the overall structure more compact.

[0093] When the relay is not powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are separated, and the active contact and the main static contact are disconnected. At this time, the first contact section 412 contacts the first auxiliary static spring 3a, the second contact section 413 contacts the second auxiliary static spring 3b, the first bending section 422 contacts the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the second bending section 423 contacts the second auxiliary static spring 3b; when the relay is powered on, the moving iron core and the static iron core are attracted, the moving iron core drives the push rod 8 to move, and the push rod 8 drives the active spring 6 to move, so that the active contact and the main static contact are closed; at the same time, the push rod 8 can also drive the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 and the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 to move, so that the first contact section 412 is separated from the first auxiliary static spring 3a, the second contact section 413 is separated from the second auxiliary static spring 3b, the first bending section 422 is separated from the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the second bending section 423 is separated from the second auxiliary static spring 3b.

[0094] In one embodiment, the first bent section 422 and the second bent section 423 are both located between the first contact section 412 and the second contact section 413. The first contact section 412 and the second contact section 413 extend from the first main body 411 toward the second main body 421. The first bent section 422 and the second bent section 423 both extend from the second main body 421 toward the first main body 411. This makes the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 and the second auxiliary dynamic spring 42 more compact, the stress at the root is more dispersed, and the risk of interference between the contact section and the bent section when they undergo elastic deformation is reduced.

[0095] See also Figure 17 As shown, at least part of the buffer space is formed between the second main body portion 421 and the first main body portion 411, and the second bending section 423 is spaced apart from the second contact section 413, so that the second bending section 423 and the second contact section 413 form a parallel and independent force arm, and the movement fulcrum of the second contact section 413 is the overlap point N between the position of the second contact section 413 close to the end of the auxiliary static spring and the auxiliary static spring, and the movement fulcrum of the second bending section 423 is the overlap point M between the position of the second bending section 423 close to the end of the auxiliary static spring and the auxiliary static spring, thereby effectively reducing the degree of deformation and warping, so that the contact section and the bending section can be in reliable contact with the auxiliary static spring.

[0096] See also Figure 10 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, during the overtravel of the first auxiliary dynamic spring and the second auxiliary dynamic spring, even if the bent section tilts up, the contact section is likely to maintain reliable contact with the auxiliary static spring.

[0097] In one embodiment, the fixed segments 31 and the contact segments are spatially staggered. The contact surface between the fixed segments 31 and the contact segments is a circular arc. This not only improves the contact reliability between the auxiliary static spring and the first auxiliary dynamic spring, but also ensures that the first auxiliary dynamic spring maintains contact and conduction with the auxiliary static spring even when the first auxiliary dynamic spring is rotated and offset by a certain angle.

[0098] In this embodiment, the length direction of the relay is taken as the X-axis, the height direction of the relay is taken as the Z-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the X-axis and the Z-axis is taken as the Y-axis. Since the push rod 8 may tilt or rotate around its own axis during movement, the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 may move in multiple directions while the push rod 8 drives the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 to move along the Z-axis, thereby deviating from the Z-axis. For example, the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 may deflect within the XY plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis. For another example, after the contact section contacts the auxiliary static spring, in order to ensure close contact between the two and continue to move in the overtravel process, the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 will rotate a certain angle around the direction parallel to the X-axis.

[0099] In the above cases, the contact section can reliably contact the auxiliary static spring.

[0100] It should be understood that the height direction of the relay is related to the placement of the relay (such as vertical or horizontal), and the snapping direction of the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 and the auxiliary static spring approaching each other is basically consistent with the height direction of the relay.

[0101] Specifically, see Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, taking the first auxiliary static spring 3a and the first contact segment 412 as an example, along the axial direction of the push rod 8, the first contact segment 412 is located above the first auxiliary static spring 3a, and the projections of the first contact segment 412 and the first auxiliary static spring 3a in the XY plane intersect. For example, the projections of the first contact segment 412 and the first auxiliary static spring 3a in the XY plane are substantially perpendicular. This is equivalent to increasing the contact area between the first contact segment 412 and the first auxiliary static spring 3a. When the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 may deflect within the plane formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis, or when the contact segment contacts the auxiliary static spring and goes through an overtravel process, the first auxiliary dynamic spring 41 rotates a certain angle around the direction parallel to the X-axis (such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown), the contact sections can all make reliable contact with the auxiliary static springs.

[0102] In one embodiment, a portion between two ends of the first main body 411 is bent to form a first transition section 414 , and the first transition section 414 is installed inside the relay.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first transition section 414 is installed on the fixing portion 81. Exemplarily, the first transition section 414 includes a transverse section and vertical sections connected to both ends of the transverse section. The transverse section can be fixedly connected to the fixing portion 81 by injection molding.

[0104] By providing the first transition section 414 , the deformation capability of the first main body portion 411 can be increased, the contact reliability can be further improved, and the risk of fatigue fracture of the first main body portion 411 can be reduced.

[0105] Exemplarily, the width of the free end of the contact segment is smaller than the width of the bend of the first transition segment 414 , thereby improving fatigue resistance and deformation capability.

[0106] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 As shown, a portion between the two ends of the second main body 421 is bent to form a second transition section 424 , and the second transition section 424 is installed inside the relay.

[0107] In this embodiment, the structure of the second transition section 424 is basically the same as the structure of the first transition section 414, and the middle position of the transverse section of the first transition section 414 is connected to the middle position of the transverse section of the second transition section 424, which facilitates assembly, that is, it is convenient to injection mold the first transition section 414 and the second transition section 424 at the same time with the fixing part 81.
