Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnetic latching relay, especially a relay with high -efficient arc extinguishing effect. BACKGROUND

[0002] The moving contact and the static contact of the relay will generate electric arc when opening and closing, and the electric arc is a kind of gas discharge phenomenon, and the instantaneous spark generated by current through some insulating medium (for example air). Electric arc will cause the loss of the contact of the relay, which leads to the great shortening of the service life of the relay and increases the use cost. The current commonly used way to reduce the generation of electric arc is to set a turning plate for arc extinguishing between the two contacts, and the turning plate is between the two contacts. But the above-mentioned scheme has a large opening distance between the two contacts, and the arc extinguishing effect can be achieved only when the contact moves to the specified position, especially the turning plate scheme, which will increase the loss of the contact.

[0003] A magnetic arc extinguishing electromagnetic relay is disclosed in Chinese patent CN 201020113849.7, which comprises an electromagnetic part, a contact part, a base and a cover. The base and the cover form a closed space to accommodate the electromagnetic part and the contact part. The contact part includes a moving spring, a moving contact, a moving lead-out sheet, a static contact sheet and a static contact. The center plane between the static contacts is orthogonal to the closed space to form an orthogonal plane, and a pair of magnetic steel is arranged on the orthogonal plane. This scheme installs a pair of magnetic steel between the moving and static contacts in the relay to achieve the effect of arc extinguishing. Although it is simple and effective, the magnetic steel is placed between the moving and static contacts. The particles in the broken electric arc will be blown to one of the magnetic steels under the action of the magnetic field. The high temperature of the electric arc will cause the temperature of the magnetic steel to rise, thereby reducing the magnetic performance of the magnetic steel and affecting the arc extinguishing effect. Moreover, the magnetic steel is close to the moving contact, which will generate a certain suction force to attract the moving contact to move towards the static contact. The moving contact may also be magnetized due to its close distance to the magnetic steel, which will further affect the on-off efficiency of the contact. Moreover, the motion trajectory of the contact is mostly arc-shaped, and the magnetic steel cannot always maintain the best arc extinguishing effect. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a relay with high -efficient arc extinguishing effect to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] The utility model relates to a relay with high arc extinguishing effect, which comprises a base, a coil assembly arranged in the base, a magnetic steel assembly arranged on one side of the coil assembly, an electric connection assembly arranged on one side of the magnetic steel assembly, and an arc extinguishing assembly arranged in the base on the side of the electric connection assembly away from the magnetic steel assembly. The electric connection assembly comprises a static assembly embedded in the base and a movable dynamic assembly arranged in the base. The arc extinguishing assembly comprises an arc extinguishing frame embedded in the arc extinguishing groove and a plurality of arc extinguishing sheets inserted into the arc extinguishing frame. The arc extinguishing frame comprises a frame body, a plurality of insertion holes arranged on the end faces of the frame body, and a plurality of insertion slots arranged on the bottom surface of the frame body. The arc extinguishing sheet comprises an arc extinguishing sheet body, a groove arranged in the middle region of the arc extinguishing sheet body, and two sets of symmetrically arranged clamping blocks on both sides of the arc extinguishing sheet body. A plurality of arc extinguishing sheet bodies are arranged along the movement trajectory of the dynamic contact.

[0006] Further, the base comprises a base body and a plurality of arc extinguishing grooves arranged in the base body.

[0007] Further, the coil assembly comprises a coil skeleton embedded in the base body and an electromagnetic coil wound around the coil skeleton.

[0008] Further, the magnetic steel assembly comprises a permanent magnet rotatably arranged on the side of the coil assembly facing the electric connection assembly and a swing arm arranged on the side of the permanent magnet close to the electric connection assembly.

[0009] Further, the electric connection assembly comprises a static assembly embedded in the base and a movable dynamic assembly arranged in the base.

[0010] Further, the static assembly comprises a static spring sheet and two static contacts arranged on the end of the static spring sheet close to the dynamic assembly.

[0011] Further, one end of the static spring sheet extends to the outside of the base.

[0012] Further, the dynamic assembly comprises a dynamic spring sheet rotatably arranged in the base and two dynamic contacts arranged on the end of the dynamic spring sheet close to the static spring sheet.

[0013] Further, the opening of the groove is inclined to both sides in a trumpet shape.

[0014] Further, the arc extinguishing frame and the arc extinguishing sheet are located on the other side of the axis of the movement direction of the dynamic contact.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a relay with highly efficient arc-extinguishing effect by setting the arc-extinguishing component on one side of the movement trajectory of the moving contact. Multiple arc-extinguishing disc bodies are arranged along the movement trajectory of the moving contact, and a groove is formed on one side of each arc-extinguishing disc body. The opening of the groove is inclined to both sides in a funnel shape, guiding the magnetic field generated by the arc current to blow the plasma in the arc outward, thus achieving arc segmentation and magnetic blowing. This ensures that the moving contact is always affected by the arc-extinguishing component during movement, resulting in a better arc-extinguishing effect. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The coil assembly 20 is embedded in the base body 11.

The opening of the recess 522 is inclined to the two sides in the shape of a horn, so as to guide the magnetic field generated by the arc current to blow the plasma in the arc outward, so as to achieve the effects of arc splitting and magnetic blowing, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing.

[0030] A plurality of arc extinguishing sheet bodies 521 are arranged along the movement trajectory of the moving contact 422, that is, the side of the arc extinguishing sheet body 521 provided with the recess 522 faces the moving contact 422, so as to achieve the effect of arc extinguishing.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the relay with high-efficiency arc extinguishing effect provided by the utility model is arranged with the arc extinguishing assembly 50 on one side of the movement trajectory of the moving contact 422. A plurality of arc extinguishing sheet bodies 511 are arranged along the movement trajectory of the moving contact 422, and the recess 522 is arranged on one side of the arc extinguishing sheet body 511. The opening of the recess 522 is inclined to the two sides in the shape of a horn, so as to guide the magnetic field generated by the arc current to blow the plasma in the arc outward, so as to achieve the effects of arc splitting and magnetic blowing. The moving contact 422 can always be affected by the arc extinguishing assembly 50 during the movement, and has good arc extinguishing effect.
