[0012] Further, the direction of action of the magnetic attraction force is consistent with the direction of movement of the moving contact close to the static contact to form a closure.

[0013] Further, the second magnetic conductor is provided with a bent extension corresponding to the first magnetic conductor for increasing the pole shoe surface between the first magnetic conductor and the second magnetic conductor.

[0033] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 to the accompanying drawings Figure 9 In a preferred embodiment, one of the first magnetic conductor 1 and the second magnetic conductor 2 is a flat plate structure, and the other is a U-shaped structure, and the opening end of the U-shaped magnetic conductor faces the flat plate magnetic conductor.In the embodiment, preferably, the first magnetic conductor 1 fixedly arranged on the relay base 3 is a flat plate structure, and the second magnetic conductor 2 fixedly arranged on the moving spring component of the relay is a U-shaped structure.The second magnetic conductor 2 is fixedly installed on the bridge-type moving contact 4 of the moving spring component.Further, the second magnetic conductor 2 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the bridge-type moving contact 4.

[0034] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the second magnetic conductor 2 and the bridge-type moving contact 4 are fixedly connected by riveting or resistance welding.However, those skilled in the art should understand that, in other embodiments, the second magnetic conductor 2 can also be fixed to the bridge-type moving contact 4 by other conventional fixing methods, such as buckle fixing, and is not limited to the specific implementation disclosed in the embodiment.

[0035] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1To the attached Figure 9 In one preferred embodiment, the air gap distance between the first magnetic conductor 1 and the second magnetic conductor 2 is configured such that when the current-carrying part of the relay passes through the short-circuit current, the magnetic field generated at the bridge moving contact 4 magnetizes the first magnetic conductor 1 and the second magnetic conductor 2, so as to generate a magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic conductor 1 and the second magnetic conductor 2 sufficient to resist the electric repulsion force between the moving contact and the stationary contact, and the direction of action of the magnetic attraction force is consistent with the direction of movement of the moving contact approaching the stationary contact to form a closure. In this embodiment, the air gap distance between the first magnetic conductor 1 and the second magnetic conductor 2 when the moving contact and the stationary contact of the relay contact part are closed is as small as possible, which can improve the electromagnetic attraction force between the two magnetic conductors, thereby improving the short-circuit current resistance performance of the relay.

[0036] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 9 In one embodiment of the utility model, the second magnetic conductor 2 of the U-shaped structure has a wider upper arm front end and a narrower lower arm front end. The upper arm is designed to be wider to ensure the size of the pole shoe area, and the lower arm is designed to be narrower to avoid the limiting ribs 311 on both sides of the magnetic conductor slot 31 of the relay base 3.
