Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model particularly relates to a high-reliability intermediate relay. Background Art

[0002] An intermediate relay is an electrical control device used in relay protection and automatic control systems. Its primary function is to convert a single input signal into multiple output signals, increasing the number of signals in a control circuit or amplifying a signal for simultaneous transmission to multiple control elements. Intermediate relays are typically used to transmit intermediate signals, increase the number and capacity of contacts, and enable simultaneous control of multiple circuits. They can also directly control small-capacity motors or other electrical actuators.

[0003] Currently, most intermediate relays are slightly modified versions of consumer electrical appliances. These are bulky, have exposed contacts, unstable operation, and a high failure rate, making them unable to meet the high-density, high-capacity, and high-vibration requirements of railway transportation. This is particularly true for locomotives operating in windy and sandy regions like Northwest and North China, or on industrial and mining sites subject to heavy dust and oil pollution. Adherence to dust and oil can cause the intermediate relay's operating mechanism to become stuck, or dust accumulation on the contacts can prevent them from reliably closing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a high-reliability intermediate relay with simple structure, stable and reliable performance, low failure rate, convenient assembly and good protection performance.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts a high-reliability intermediate relay, including a base plate, an electromagnetic assembly arranged on the base plate, a transmission assembly, and multiple micro switches. The electromagnetic assembly includes a yoke arranged on the base plate, a coil frame arranged in the yoke, a coil arranged on the coil frame, a static iron core arranged in the coil frame, and a moving iron core arranged in the coil frame and matched with the static iron core. The transmission assembly includes a shell arranged on the yoke, a top plate slidably arranged in the shell and linked with the moving iron core. The multiple micro switches are respectively arranged on the shell. The top plate moves with the moving iron core and triggers the multiple micro switches to realize the connection or disconnection of the multiple micro switches.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: the micro switch of the intermediate relay has a simple and compact structure, is fully sealed and maintenance-free, has a dustproof grade of IP60, operates stably and reliably, and does not have poor contact. The transmission component adopts a modular structural design, which is conducive to the modular assembly of the intermediate relay and has higher assembly efficiency. The top plate of the transmission component is set in the shell, which can effectively prevent the entry of wind, sand, dust, and oil, and will not cause the top plate to become stuck. The electromagnetic component triggers multiple micro switches through the top plate, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the actions of multiple micro switches and improving the working reliability. Therefore, the intermediate relay has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance, low failure rate, convenient assembly, good protection performance, and high reliability.

[0007] Specifically, the top plate has two guide rods at each end, and the housing is provided with guide holes that mate with the guide rods. The guide rods are inserted into the guide holes, forming a sliding connection between the guide rods and the housing. The guide holes in the housing guide the top plate, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the top plate and improving the operating reliability of the intermediate relay.

[0008] Specifically, the static core has a truncated cone-shaped engaging portion at one end, and the movable core has an engaging groove on one end that mates with the engaging portion. The truncated cone-shaped engaging portion of the static core increases the engaging area between the static and movable cores, ensuring more reliable engagement.

[0009] In particular, the coil frame is provided with two positioning bosses that cooperate with the yoke, and the yoke is provided with two positioning grooves that cooperate with the two positioning bosses. The two positioning bosses engage in the two positioning grooves, forming a snap-fit connection between the yoke and the coil frame. The snap-fit connection between the coil frame and the yoke facilitates assembly of the two and improves assembly efficiency.

[0010] In particular, two snap-fit holes are provided on the housing corresponding to the two positioning bosses. The two positioning bosses are inserted into the two snap-fit holes, forming a snap-fit engagement between the two positioning bosses and the housing. The housing and the positioning bosses of the coil frame are assembled using a snap-fit engagement, thereby facilitating assembly of the housing and the coil frame and making assembly more convenient.

[0011] In particular, the housing is provided with two stopper ridges on either side of the yoke, with a clamping groove formed between the two stopper ridges. The yoke engages within the clamping groove, forming a snap-fit connection between the housing and the yoke. This snap-fit connection between the yoke and the housing facilitates assembly of the electromagnetic assembly and the housing, making assembly more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Two snap-fitting holes 312 are respectively provided on the shell 31 corresponding to the two positioning bosses 221. The two positioning bosses 221 are inserted into the two snap-fitting holes 312, and constitute a snap-fitting fit between the two positioning bosses 221 and the shell 31. The positioning bosses of the shell and the coil frame are assembled in a snap-fitting manner, which facilitates the assembly of the shell and the coil frame and is more convenient. The housing 31 is provided with two stopper ridges 313 on either side of the yoke 21. A clamping groove 310 is formed between the two stopper ridges 313.
