Moreover, the use of the "term including", as well as other forms, such as "includes" or "included", is open-ended, and is intended to cover a wide

[0036] It is also need to be explained that the figures provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present application in a schematic way, and only show the components related to the present application, not the number, shape and size of the components when actually implemented, the shape, number and ratio of the components when actually implemented can be a random change, and the component layout pattern can also be more complex.

[0037] In addition, in the following description, specific details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, one skilled in the art will understand that the examples can be practiced without these specific details.

[0038] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a kind of high anti-vibration relay driving mechanism, comprising: magnetic pole 1, the armature 3 of being arranged in the upper of magnetic pole 1 and being able to do rotary motion around a shaft pin 2 and the elastic element 4 for applying the elastic force of direction to the back of magnetic pole 1 to armature 3.

[0040] Wherein, armature 3 is equipped with the attraction end 311 opposite to magnetic pole 1, and the attraction end 311 is used to generate magnetic flux between magnetic pole 1 when the relay is powered on, to increase the electromagnetic force of armature 3.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that the armature 3 is also provided with an extension 32, and the end of the extension 32 extends above the magnetic pole 1 and is opposite to the magnetic pole 1. As Figure 6 shown, when the relay is in a released state, i.e. the armature 3 and the magnetic pole 1 form a certain opening angle with the shaft pin 2 as the vertex, at this time the distance between the end of the extension 32 and the magnetic pole 1 is L1, the distance between the attraction end 311 and the magnetic pole 1 is L2, and L1 < L2. Under the same opening angle, since the extension 32 can reduce the distance between the bottom surface of the armature 3 and the magnetic pole 1, the magnetic resistance between the armature 3 and the magnetic pole 1 is reduced, the magnetic flux is increased, i.e. the magnetic induction intensity is increased, which can further increase the electromagnetic force of the armature 3. After the electromagnetic force of the armature 3 is increased under the same load, in order to ensure that the torque balance is increased accordingly, the elastic force of the elastic element 4 is increased, and after the elastic force of the elastic element 4 is increased, the contact pressure of the relay in the released state is increased, without changing the original volume and coil ampere turns of the relay, the anti-random vibration performance of the product is greatly improved.

[0042] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The armature 3 in the embodiment is made of electromagnetic pure iron material and is flat. The armature 3 is provided with a main body part 31, the two ends of the main body part 31 are distributed on the two sides of an extension part 32, and one end of the main body part 31 is provided as an armature tail part 312, and the other end of the main body part 31 is provided as an attraction end 311. The armature tail part 312 is connected to the shaft pin 2, and with the switching of the power-on and power-off of the relay, the main body part 31 can be flipped up and down around the shaft pin 2. When the armature 3 is in a released state, the distance between the armature tail part 312 and the magnetic pole 1 is smaller than the distance between the attraction end 311 and the magnetic pole 1. It is worth mentioning that the extension part 32 on the armature 3 is arranged close to the shaft pin 2, and the purpose is to make the centroid position of the armature 3 close to the side of the shaft pin 2, thereby reducing the gravity arm of the armature 3, and further improving the anti-vibration performance of the product.

[0043] As known, the mass of the armature 3 is also one of the factors affecting its random vibration performance.

[0044] As preferred, the armature 3 in the utility model is provided with two extension parts 32, the two extension parts 32 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the main body part 31, and the two extension parts 32 and the main body part 31 are cross-shaped. The utility model obtains greater suction force with smaller mass as much as possible by arranging two extension parts 32 on the armature 3, and the anti-vibration performance is better.

[0045] In addition, the attraction end 311 and the extension part 32 are thinned, so that the thicknesses of the attraction end 311 and the extension part 32 are smaller than the thickness of the armature tail part 312. In this way, the thickness of the armature tail part 312 is large, which can adapt to the size of the shaft pin 2, and the thicknesses of the remaining areas are small, which can further reduce the mass of the armature 3 and improve the anti-vibration performance.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the high anti-vibration relay driving mechanism further comprises a paddle assembly 5, the paddle assembly 5 is fixedly welded on the armature 3, one end (i.e. the upper end) of the paddle assembly 5 away from the armature 3 is provided as a contact end 51, and the movable contact of the relay is fixed to the contact end 51, and the paddle assembly 5 and the armature 3 form a rigid structure to transfer the movement of the armature 3, thereby driving the contact of the relay to close or open.

[0047] In the embodiment, the paddle assembly 5 is in the shape of a “person”, the two supporting feet at the bottom thereof are fixedly welded on the top surface of the armature 3, and the upper end of the paddle assembly 5 is bent by 90° to form the contact end 51.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the paddle assembly 5 is fixed on the armature 3 and is distributed away from the attraction end 311, which can make the centroid position of the combined structure of the armature 3 and the paddle assembly 5 close to the shaft pin 2, thereby also reducing the gravity arm of the armature 3 and improving the random vibration performance of the product.

[0049] In the prior art, the plunger assembly 5 usually uses traditional metal materials such as pure iron, which is easy to wear and tear in long-term opening and closing operation of the relay, thereby shortening the service life of the parts and increasing the movement gap, and thus affecting the anti-vibration performance of the relay. To this end, the plunger assembly 5 is made of wear-resistant alloy material, such as 3Cr18NiTiMn alloy material, 1Cr17Ni7 alloy material, etc. The number of plunger of the contact end 51 is increased, and the contact end 51 in the embodiment is specifically formed by two plunger superimposed, thereby reducing the wear and tear of the parts when the armature 3 operates, and improving the random vibration performance of the product.

[0050] Again refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the high anti-vibration relay driving mechanism further comprises a magnetic shell 6, a magnetic pole core 7 and a coil winding 8. The magnetic shell 6 is a cylinder with both upper and lower ends being open, and the magnetic pole core 7 and the coil winding 8 are arranged in the magnetic shell 6. The magnetic pole core 7 comprises a magnetic core plate 71 and a magnetic core column 72 integrally connected to the middle of the top of the magnetic core plate 71, the magnetic core plate 71 is fixedly welded to the lower end of the magnetic shell 6, the magnetic core column 72 passes through the middle of the magnetic shell 6 and protrudes upward, and the coil winding 8 is arranged around the magnetic core column 72.

[0051] The upper end of the magnetic shell 6 is inwardly bent to form an inner flange, the magnetic pole 1 is fixedly welded to the inner flange of the magnetic shell 6, and the top surface of the magnetic pole 1 is flush with the top surface of the magnetic core column 72. In the embodiment, the materials of the armature 3, the magnetic pole 1, the magnetic shell 6 and the magnetic pole core 7 are all electromagnetic pure iron, so that a magnetic circuit can be formed between the armature 3, the magnetic pole 1, the magnetic shell 6 and the magnetic pole core 7.

[0052] Further, the magnetic pole 1 is annular, and the elastic element 4 is a conical spring which is built in the magnetic pole 1 and is sleeved on the outside of the magnetic core column 72, and the elastic element 4 elastically abuts against the top of the coil winding 8 at the end with a larger diameter and elastically abuts against the middle of the armature 3 at the end with a smaller diameter, so that the armature 3 is always subjected to an upward elastic force.

[0053] In addition, the high anti-vibration relay driving mechanism further comprises an armature support 9, the armature support 9 is fixedly installed on the magnetic pole 1, the armature support 9 is C-shaped, and one end of the armature 3 is rotatably installed on the armature support 9 through the shaft pin 2.

[0054] When the coil winding 8 of the relay is powered, the magnetic field generated by the coil winding 8 forms a magnetic circuit between the armature 3, the magnetic pole 1, the magnetic shell 6 and the magnetic pole core 7, the magnetic pole core 7 generates an electromagnetic attraction force on the armature 3, the armature 3 is flipped downward around the shaft pin 2 and is attracted to the magnetic core column 72, and the attraction end 311 and the extension 32 of the armature 3 are just attached to the magnetic pole 1 (as shown in Figure 7 At the same time, the armature 3 drives the contact of the relay to close through the plunger assembly 5.

[0055] When the coil winding 8 of the relay loses power, the electromagnetic attraction of the magnetic pole core 7 to the armature 3 disappears, the armature 3 is turned up to open under the elastic force of the elastic element 4, at the same time, the armature 3 drives the contact of the relay to open through the toggle plate assembly 5.

[0056] It should be noted that, in Figure 7 , when the current direction or winding direction of the coil winding 8 is changed, the magnetic induction line direction is changed accordingly.

[0057] Therefore, the high anti-vibration relay driving mechanism can reduce the distance between the bottom surface of the armature 3 and the magnetic pole 1, thereby increasing the electromagnetic attraction to the armature 3, and further increasing the elastic force of the elastic element 4. After the elastic force of the elastic element 4 is increased, the contact pressure of the relay in the released state is increased, and under the premise of not changing the original volume of the relay and the coil ampere turns, the anti-random vibration performance of the product is greatly improved. Further, the toggle plate assembly 5 and the extension 32 in the utility model are arranged in the position close to the shaft pin 2, so that the centroid position of the armature 3 is close to one side of the shaft pin 2, thereby reducing the gravity arm of the armature 3, and the armature 3 is thinned to reduce its mass and improve the anti-vibration performance. In addition, the toggle plate assembly 5 is made of wear-resistant alloy material, and the number of toggle plates of the contact end 51 is increased, thereby reducing the part wear when the armature 3 operates, and further improving the anti-vibration performance of the product.

[0058] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
