[0002] For high-current, high-capacity switching relays, monitoring the energization status of the main contacts is necessary to ensure safe operation and enable rapid response. Therefore, the opening and closing of the auxiliary contact circuit needs to be synchronized with the main circuit's operation to ensure signal control, transmission, and monitoring.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a relay with auxiliary contacts, comprising: a relay housing 1, an auxiliary circuit contact assembly disposed inside the bottom of the relay housing 1, and a main circuit contact assembly disposed inside the upper part of the relay housing 1. The auxiliary circuit contact assembly includes an auxiliary circuit moving terminal 2, an auxiliary circuit stationary terminal 3, an auxiliary circuit contact point 4, and an auxiliary circuit terminal connector 5. The auxiliary circuit moving terminal 2 and the auxiliary circuit stationary terminal 3 are both fixedly snapped into the bottom of the relay housing 1. An auxiliary circuit contact point 4 is disposed at the end of the auxiliary circuit moving terminal 2 and the auxiliary circuit stationary terminal 3 that are close to each other. An auxiliary circuit terminal connector 5 is disposed at the end of the auxiliary circuit moving terminal 2 and the auxiliary circuit stationary terminal 3 that are close to each other.

[0022] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the main circuit contact assembly includes a limiting seat 16, a first spring 17, a main circuit movable terminal 18, a main circuit movable contact point 19, a first terminal block 20, a second terminal block 21, and a main circuit stationary contact point 22. The first spring 17 is snapped into the upper part of the limiting seat 16. The first spring 17 facilitates holding the main circuit movable terminal 18 against the inside of the limiting seat 16, thus facilitating assembly. The main circuit movable terminal 18 is snapped into the inside of the limiting seat 16. Both ends of the main circuit movable terminal 18 are provided with main circuit movable contact points 19. The top of the first terminal block 20 and the second terminal block 21 are provided with main circuit stationary contact points 22. The first terminal block 20 and the second terminal block 21 are respectively fixedly snapped into the inside of the relay housing 1. The main circuit stationary contact point 22 is directly opposite the main circuit movable contact point 19. The wiring of the main circuit can be completed by simply connecting both ends of the main line to the first terminal block 20 and the second terminal block 21 respectively.

[0023] The relay housing 1 has two second springs 24 on both sides inside the top. The bottom of the second springs 24 is connected to the main circuit movable terminal 18. The top of the relay housing 1 has a limit groove 23 on one side of the limit seat 16. The limit groove 23 ensures that the limit seat 16 remains stable when sliding. The limit seat 16 is slidably connected inside the limit groove 23. The relay housing 1 has a yoke 6 above the auxiliary circuit movable terminal 2 inside the relay housing 1. The yoke 6 has a coil frame 7 inside it. The coil frame 7 has a double coil 8 inside it. The bottom of the double coil 8 is connected to the coil terminal 9. The bottom of the yoke 6 has a stationary iron core 10. The top of the yoke 6 has a stationary iron core 10. A top cover 11 is fixedly connected to the end, and a fixed iron core 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top cover 11. The fixed iron core 12 helps to ensure that the moving iron core 13 is attracted to the fixed iron core 12. The moving iron core 13 is slidably connected inside the double coil 8. The bottom end of the moving iron core 13 is connected to a lower movable rod 14, and the top end of the moving iron core 13 is connected to an upper movable rod 15. The upper movable rod 15 slides through the inside of the fixed iron core 12 and is connected to a limiting seat 16. The lower movable rod 14 slides through the inside of the stationary iron core 10. The double coil 8 is divided into an upper coil and a lower coil by a coil frame 7, and a magnet is set on the outside of the coil frame 7 at the interface between the upper coil and the lower coil.

[0024] Specifically, in use, this invention energizes one of the lower coils of the double coil 8 via coil terminal 9, causing the moving iron core 13 to slide downwards. Simultaneously, the elastic force of the second spring 24 causes the main circuit movable terminal 18 to descend until the main circuit movable contact point 19 at the bottom of the main circuit movable terminal 18 contacts the main circuit stationary contact point 22, thus completing the conduction of the main circuit. At the same time, as the moving iron core 13 descends, it also causes the lower movable rod 14 to descend, and the bottom of the lower movable rod 14 abuts against the auxiliary circuit movable terminal 2, thus connecting the auxiliary circuit movable terminal 2 with the auxiliary circuit stationary terminal 3, thus completing the connection of the auxiliary circuit. When it is necessary to disconnect the circuit, energizing one of the upper coils of the double coil 8 via coil terminal 9 causes the moving iron core 13 to slide upwards, thus simultaneously disconnecting the auxiliary circuit and the main circuit.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] All other parts of this utility model that are not described in detail belong to the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
