[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the drawings, Embodiment 1 provides a terminal lead-out structure of a relay (hereinafter referred to as a terminal lead-out structure) for realizing the electrical connection between the coil of the relay and the external circuit.
[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the terminal leading structure of the embodiment includes a first coil 1 and a second coil 2, and the first coil 1 is arranged in a first relay unit of the relay, and the second coil 2 is arranged in a second relay unit of the relay, at this time, the relay of the embodiment is a double relay.
[0039] The terminal leading structure of the embodiment further includes an electrical connection assembly 3, and specifically, the electrical connection assembly 3 includes an insulating piece 31 and two conductive pieces 32 arranged in the insulating piece 31.

[0041] In the embodiment, the first relay unit and the second relay unit are arranged in a linear shape side by side, therefore, the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 are also arranged in a linear shape side by side, and the side by side direction of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 is defined as the transverse direction of the relay, the electrical connection assembly 3 is arranged between the first relay unit and the second relay unit, and the insulating piece 31 is rectangular, at this time, the long direction of the insulating piece 31 is perpendicular to the transverse direction of the relay, in this way, the space formed between the two relay units is fully utilized to realize a compact layout structure, and the space in the relay in the transverse or longitudinal direction can also be avoided, thereby ensuring the miniaturization design of the overall volume. Of course, in other embodiments, the included angle between the long direction of the insulating piece 31 and the transverse direction of the relay can also be adjusted between 0 to 90 degrees.
[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, each of the two conductive pieces 32 has a pin portion 321, a plug portion 323, and a connecting portion 322 connected between the pin portion 321 and the plug portion 323, the connecting portion 322 and the plug portion 323 are arranged in the insulating piece 31, one end of the pin portion 321 away from the connecting portion 322 protrudes from the outer surface of the insulating piece 31, the plug portion 323 is used to electrically connect the first leading terminal 12 of the first coil 1, and the pin portion 321 is the first electrical connection terminal, which is also the first pin terminal.
[0043] As Figure 2As shown, the insulation piece 31 has two mounting holes 311 for respectively connecting two insertion holes of the two plug-in parts 323, and the two first lead-out terminals 12 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 311 and electrically connected to the corresponding plug-in parts 323.

[0045] The first lead-out terminals 12 and the second lead-out terminals 22 are respectively located at both ends of the insulation piece 31 in the longitudinal direction, so that the length of the lead-out terminals of the two coils does not need to be additionally extended to realize the connection with the electrical connection assembly 3, that is, the terminal length of the lead-out terminals of the two coils is effectively reduced.
[0046] Moreover, the lead-out terminals of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 do not need to be bent, but can be directly assembled to the electrical connection assembly 3, which not only simplifies the structure of the lead-out terminals of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2, but also avoids the adverse phenomenon that the assembly is not in place due to the bending of the lead-out terminals of the coils, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0050] The two conductive members 32 are integrally injection molded on the insulating member 31 to ensure the electrical insulation of the connecting portions 322 of the two conductive members 32 located in the insulating member 31, and to avoid the occurrence of wire harness scratching and other undesirable phenomena. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive members 32 are assembled between the upper and lower portions of the insulating member 31 by assembly, and the electrical insulation of the connecting portions 322 can also be ensured.
[0051] By arranging the conductive members 32 in the insulating member 31 to form the electrical connection assembly 3, and arranging one end of the conductive member 32 to electrically connect the first lead terminal 12 of the first coil 1, and the other end of the conductive member 32 to protrude out of the outer surface of the insulating member 31 and form a first pin terminal for electrically connecting an external circuit, the wire harness assembly mode in the prior art is replaced, which can avoid the occurrence of wire harness scratching and other undesirable phenomena, improve the electrical safety and reliability of the relay, and avoid bending the lead terminal of the coil of the relay, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and improving the production efficiency.
[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of conductive members 32 is not limited to this, and the specific number of conductive members 32 is determined by the specific electrical structure requirements of the relay.
[0053] In addition, the lead terminal of the relay can also be the lead terminal of the auxiliary contact of the relay.

[0055] In this specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the coil mounting frames of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 are the first coil mounting frame 11 and the second coil mounting frame 21 in sequence, and the support portions of the first coil mounting frame 11 and the second coil mounting frame 21 are the first support portion 111 and the second support portion 211 respectively.
[0056] The lead terminals of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 are respectively arranged vertically through the first support portion 111 and the second support portion 211 to ensure that the lead terminals of the two coils can be stably supported by the two support portions, and to avoid the exposed parts of the lead terminals of the first coil 1 and the second coil 2 being too long, thereby avoiding being easily deformed by external force.
[0057] And when assembling, only the two ends of the electrical connection assembly 3 are assembled with the upper ends of the first support part 111 and the second support part 211 respectively, and the first support part 111 and the second support part 211 are respectively located at the upper flanges of the two coil mounting frames, so as to raise the mounting position of the electrical connection assembly 3, thereby facilitating automatic assembly, further ensuring assembly accuracy, and also ensuring that the lead terminals of the two coils do not need to directly bear the force, but are borne by the two support parts, thereby avoiding mechanical damage to the lead terminals of the coils of the relay due to excessive impact force.

[0060] After the two first lead terminals 12 of the first coil 1 and the plug-in parts 323 of the two conductive pieces 32 are welded together, the insulating glue is dripped into the dispensing groove 312 until it is full, and the circumferential groove wall of the dispensing groove 312 can block the overflow of the insulating glue, thereby effectively reducing the probability of removing residual glue.
[0061] After the insulating glue flows and solidifies, the insulating glue completely fills the gap between the first lead terminal 12 of the first coil 1, the plug hole inner wall of the plug-in part 323, and the end of the first support part 111 towards the insulating piece 31, thereby increasing the electrical insulation of the first coil 1 and the connection reliability between the first lead terminal 12 of the first coil 1 and the electrical connection assembly 3, such as avoiding false welding and other welding problems.
