[0025] The specific embodiments of the electromagnetic relay core device of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The electromagnetic relay core device of this utility model is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the electromagnetic relay core device of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a coil (not shown) installed inside the housing 1, an armature 2, a permanent magnet 3, a yoke 4, and a spring 5. The permanent magnet 3 and the yoke 4 are respectively arranged opposite to the armature 2. The yoke 4 has a magnetic attraction surface 41 on the side facing the armature 2, and the yoke 4 passes through at least part of the central hole of the coil. The armature 2 can move between a first position and a second position. The armature 2 is held in the first position by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 3 and is attracted to the magnetic attraction surface 41. When the electromagnetic force generated by the coil can counteract the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 3 (for example, when the relay has a leakage fault), the spring 5 drives the armature 2 to move from the first position to the second position, which can be used to trigger the corresponding protection action, such as triggering the tripping of the circuit breaker's operating mechanism. It should be noted that the permanent magnet 3 is usually made of magnetic steel; the core device is also usually provided with a push rod 9. The armature 2 is driven to engage with one end of the push rod 9, and the other end of the push rod 9 extends out of the housing 1 to drive other mechanisms of the relay.

[0027] Specifically, the core device further includes a fixing member 6 fixed within the housing 1. The fixing member 6 has a first fixing hole 611 and a second fixing hole 621. The permanent magnet 3 is at least partially interference-fitted into the first fixing hole 611, and the yoke 4 includes a yoke mounting portion 42, which is at least partially interference-fitted into the second fixing hole 621. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic relay core device, by adding the fixing member 6, allows the permanent magnet 3 and the yoke 4 to be first interference-fitted onto the fixing member 6, and then assembled together into the housing 1. This simplifies assembly, makes the permanent magnet 3 and the yoke 4 less prone to deformation, and ensures structural stability and reliable performance.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the armature 2 in this embodiment has a limiting structure for movement. The armature 2 is oscillating and has an oscillation fulcrum 21. The core device also includes a limiting member 7, which includes a limiting part 71 located on the path of the oscillation fulcrum 21 of the armature 2 moving from the first position to the second position, and is used to block the oscillation fulcrum 21 at the second position. The armature 2 adopts an oscillating structure without connection points, which simplifies the structure of the armature 2 and facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the armature 2. The limiting part 71 is set at an angle to the suction surface 41, preferably 90°, that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting part 71 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the suction surface 41 is a horizontally arranged plane.

[0029] Furthermore, the swing fulcrum 21 of the armature 2 has a mating inclined surface 211 on the side facing the limiting part 71. When the armature 2 is in the first position, the mating inclined surface 211 is set at an angle to the limiting part 71 of the limiting member 7. When the armature 2 is in the second position, the mating inclined surface 211 is in contact with the limiting part 71. The structure of the armature 2 for mating with the limiting member 7 is simple and easy to construct, and it enables the limiting member 7 to stably and reliably limit the swing stroke of the armature 2.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the armature 2 has a straight plate structure. The swing fulcrum 21 is provided on the middle side of the armature 2. One end of the armature 2 is connected to the spring 5. A hanging hole 22 is provided on one end of the armature 2. The other end of the armature 2 is the armature driving end, which is used to drive the push rod 9.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the mounting structure of the magnetic yoke 4 and the limiting member 7 in this embodiment includes a limiting member mounting part 72. The limiting member mounting part 72 is at least partially interference-fitted into the second fixing hole 621, that is, both the magnetic yoke 4 and the limiting member 7 are at least partially fixed in the second fixing hole 621. The limiting member mounting part 72 is provided with a positioning hole 721, and the magnetic yoke mounting part 42 is provided with a positioning boss 43 that mates with the positioning hole 721, so as to facilitate quick assembly of the magnetic yoke 4 and the limiting member 7. During assembly, the positioning boss 43 is first inserted into the positioning hole 721 to assemble the magnetic yoke 4 and the limiting member 7 together, and then the magnetic yoke mounting part 42 and the limiting member mounting part 72 are inserted into the second fixing hole 621 of the fixing member 6.

[0032] Specifically, both the limiting member mounting part 72 and the magnetic yoke mounting part 42 are straight plate structures and are stacked. The limiting member mounting part 72 is close to the magnetic yoke mounting part 42. The width of the limiting member mounting part 72 is greater than the width of the magnetic yoke mounting part 42. The second fixing hole 621 is a square hole that is interference-fitted with the limiting member mounting part 72. The side wall of the second fixing hole 621 is provided with two protruding ribs 622 located on both sides of the width direction of the magnetic yoke mounting part 42.

[0033] For example, the end of the limiting member mounting part 72 extending out of the second fixing hole 621 is provided with two limiting parts 71, and the other end of the limiting member mounting part 72 extending out of the second fixing hole 621 is provided with a connecting plate 73 in a direction away from the magnetic yoke mounting part 42, and the connecting plate 73 is provided with a hanging groove 731.

[0034] In this embodiment, the spring 5 is a tension spring, with one end hanging in the hanging hole 22 of the armature 2 and the other end hanging in the hanging groove 731. Of course, the spring 5 can also be a torsion spring, compression spring, or leaf spring, etc.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 6 is snap-fitted to the housing 1. The fastener 6 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​63, and the housing 1 is provided with a first latch 111 that mates with the first snap-fit ​​63. The fastener 6 is fixed by a snap-fit ​​connection, which facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0036] For example, the fastener 6 in this embodiment is a one-piece molded structure made of plastic, including a first fixing part 61 and a second fixing part 62. The first fixing part 61 is a cylindrical structure, and the first fixing hole 611 penetrates the first fixing part 61 along the height direction of the first fixing part 61. The bottom of the first fixing part 61 extends to both sides to form flanges 64, and the flanges 64 extend downward to form a first buckle 63. The second fixing part 62 is a square column structure connected to the first fixing part 61 side by side. The second fixing hole 621 penetrates the second fixing part 62 along the height direction of the second fixing part 62. The side of the second fixing part 62 away from the first fixing part 61 is provided with an avoidance notch 623 for avoiding the positioning boss 43 of the magnetic yoke 4.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic yoke 4 in this embodiment is a U-shaped structure with its opening facing the armature 2. One side of the magnetic yoke 4 passes through the central hole of the coil, the magnetic yoke mounting part 42 is the other side of the magnetic yoke 4, the attraction surface 41 is the end face of both sides of the magnetic yoke 4, one end of the permanent magnet 3 near the armature 2 is fixed in the first fixing hole 611, and the other end of the permanent magnet 3 is placed on the bottom edge of the magnetic yoke 4.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the electromagnetic relay core device of this embodiment also includes a coil frame 8. The coil is sleeved on the coil frame 8. The axis of the coil frame 8 is parallel to the axis of the first fixing hole 611 of the fixing member 6. The coil frame 8 is snapped to the housing 1. The coil frame 8 is provided with a second buckle 81. The housing 1 is provided with a second bayonet 112 that cooperates with the second buckle 81.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 in this embodiment includes a base 11 and a cover 12. The cover 12 covers the base 11 and is snapped together with the base 11. The base 11 is provided with a third buckle 113 and the cover 12 is provided with a third latch 121 that cooperates with the third buckle 113.
