Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of relay technology, specifically to a relay protection device. Background Technology
[0002] A relay is an electrical device that connects or disconnects a small-current control circuit based on changes in electrical or non-electrical quantities to achieve automatic control or protection of electrically driven devices. Relays primarily operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Internally, they generally consist of an iron core, coil, armature, and contact springs. When a certain voltage is applied across the coil, current flows through it, generating an electromagnetic effect. The armature, attracted by the electromagnetic force, overcomes the return spring's pull and is drawn towards the iron core, causing the moving contact of the armature to engage with the stationary contact (normally open contact), thus connecting the circuit. When the coil is de-energized, the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and the armature returns to its original position under the spring's reaction force, causing the moving contact to engage with the original stationary contact (normally closed contact), thus disconnecting the circuit.
[0003] Existing relays typically require at least four contacts: control positive and negative terminals and output positive and negative terminals. The contacts and wires are usually connected by a rotating threaded head that presses and fixes the wires to the surface of a metal conductive sheet. However, the threaded head is prone to oxidation and corrosion when exposed to air, and may eventually become unable to rotate. To avoid this, a device is needed to protect the relay. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a relay protection device that solves the problem of threaded pressure heads lacking protection and easily oxidizing, as mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] Furthermore, the covering part completely covers the adjustment hole on the same side of the relay, the relay has a plug hole, and the connecting part is provided with a snap-fit part that snaps into the plug hole.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided on the edge of the cover, and a sealing groove for inserting the sealing ring is provided on the outer ring of the relay located at the adjustment hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring is "teardrop-shaped", and the shape of the sealing groove is adapted to the shape of the sealing ring.
[0010] Furthermore, the covering part individually covers each adjustment hole, the cross-sectional shape of the adjustment hole is a stepped hole, and sealing rings are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the covering part, the sealing rings are engaged inside the stepped hole.
[0011] Furthermore, there are at least two connecting parts, and the cover part is fixed to the surface of the relay by the connecting parts. The surface of the cover part has a groove that penetrates the cover part and is aligned with the adjustment hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the cover portion is provided with a protrusion above the groove, and the protrusion is divided together with the groove.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] See Figures 1-5 A relay protection device includes a cover 1 for covering the adjustment hole of a relay. The cover 1 is fixedly connected to the relay via a connecting part 2, and the cover 1 is inserted into the adjustment hole of the relay.
[0025] The cover 1 completely covers the adjustment hole on the same side of the relay. The relay has a plug hole 3, and the connecting part 2 has a snap-fit part 4 that engages inside the plug hole 3. The cover 1, connecting part 2, and snap-fit part 4 are all made of rubber, which facilitates installation. By pressing the snap-fit part 4 into the plug hole 3, the connecting part 2 and the relay can be connected more easily.
[0026] Specifically, a sealing ring 5 is provided on the edge of the cover part 1, and a sealing groove 6 for inserting the sealing ring 5 is provided on the outer ring of the relay at the adjustment hole. This arrangement can lock the cover part 1 in place, thereby protecting the adjusting thread pressure head.
[0027] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring 5 is "teardrop-shaped", and the shape of the sealing groove 6 is adapted to the shape of the sealing ring 5. This setting allows the sealing ring 5 to be pressed and snapped into the inside of the sealing groove 6.
[0028] In use, lift the cover 1 while keeping the connecting part 2 and the snap-fit part 4 connected to the relay, so that the adjustment hole can be exposed and adjusted. After adjustment, by squeezing the cover 1, the sealing ring 5 and the sealing groove 6 can be snapped together to cover the adjustment hole, thereby protecting the relay.
[0029] In Example 2, each adjustment hole is individually covered by a cover 1. The adjustment hole has a stepped cross-sectional shape, and sealing rings 7 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the cover 1. The sealing rings 7 are engaged inside the stepped holes. This arrangement allows a single cover 1 to be opened for adjustment when a single threaded pressure head needs to be adjusted, thus reducing the opening time of adjacent cover 1s.
[0030] In use, the cover 1 of the corresponding adjustment hole is removed so that the specified adjustment hole can be adjusted. After adjustment, the cover 1 is pressed to form a seal with the adjustment hole through the sealing ring 7, thereby protecting the relay.
[0031] In embodiment 3, there are at least two connecting parts 2. The covering part 1 is fixed to the surface of the relay by the connecting parts 2. The surface of the covering part 1 is provided with a groove 8 that penetrates the covering part 1. The groove 8 is aligned with the adjustment hole. With this arrangement, the covering part 1 can protect the adjustment hole, so that the screwdriver can be directly inserted through the groove 8 for rotation and adjustment. After the screwdriver is pulled out, it can automatically reset to form a seal.
[0032] Specifically, the surface of the covering part 1 is provided with a protrusion 9 above the groove 8. The protrusion 9 is divided together with the groove 8. By providing the protrusion 9, they can be pressed against each other to maintain the seal of the groove 8.
[0033] In use, the connecting part 2 and the snap-fit part 4 cover the relay surface with the covering part 1. When in use, the adjusting screwdriver is rotated from the slot 8 for adjustment. After the screwdriver is pulled out, it can automatically reset to form a seal, thereby protecting the relay.
