Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of relay technology, and in particular to a relay base and a relay. Background Technology

[0002] In today's electrical automation, industrial control, and numerous electronic equipment applications, circuit control and protection are crucial for ensuring stable and efficient system operation. Relays, as a fundamental and extremely important electronic control device, are widely used in various circuit systems.

[0003] The relay in the prior art includes a base, on which a wire clamping assembly is disposed. The wire clamping assembly includes a screw and a wire clamping block, and the base has a mounting hole. The wire clamping block is disposed at the bottom of the mounting hole, and the screw is connected to the thread on the wire clamping block to prevent the screw from coming out of the wire clamping block. When it is necessary to connect a wire, the screw is rotated further to move the wire clamping block upward and clamp the wire.

[0004] In the aforementioned assembly process, screws and wire clamps can only be installed from different directions on the base, and the wire clamps must be installed into the mounting holes before the screws are installed, making the installation process rather cumbersome. Furthermore, when assembled using automated equipment, it is impossible to install the wire clamps into the precise positions on the base, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a relay base and a relay. By setting a limiting component in the mounting hole, the wire clamping component can be directly inserted into the mounting hole and cooperate with the limiting component to achieve fixation, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a relay base, comprising a body, a limiting component, and a wire clamping component. The body has a mounting hole, the limiting component is disposed within the mounting hole, and the wire clamping component includes a mounting member and a wire clamping member. The mounting member is disposed on the wire clamping member and the wire clamping member is disposed within the body. The mounting member is inserted into the mounting hole and abuts against the limiting component to prevent the mounting member from dislodging from the mounting hole.

[0007] In this embodiment of the application, the limiting component includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member;

[0008] Both the first limiting member and the second limiting member are disposed on the inner wall of the mounting hole. When the mounting member is inserted into the mounting hole, the first limiting member and the second limiting member abut against the opposite sides of the screw to fix the mounting member.

[0009] In this embodiment of the application, the first limiting member includes at least two first limiting blocks, and the second limiting member includes at least two second limiting blocks.

[0010] In this embodiment of the application, the first limiting member and the second limiting member are integrally formed with the base.

[0011] In this embodiment of the application, the mounting component includes screws, and the wire clamping component includes wire clamping blocks and current bars;

[0012] The current bar is disposed on the clamping block, and the clamping block is provided with a screw hole, through which the screw is connected to the clamping block.

[0013] In this embodiment of the application, the current bar includes a copper alloy current bar.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a relay, including an electrical component and a relay base as described in the first aspect connected to the electrical component.

[0015] This application provides a relay base and a relay. The relay base includes a body, a limiting component, and a wire clamping component. The body has a mounting hole, and the limiting component is disposed within the mounting hole. The wire clamping component includes a mounting part and a wire clamping part. The mounting part is disposed on the wire clamping part, and the wire clamping part is disposed within the body. The mounting part is inserted into the mounting hole and abuts against the limiting component to prevent it from dislodging. When the wire clamping component is installed onto the body, the limiting component directly limits the mounting part.

[0027] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. In embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the screw mounting structure on a relay base in the prior art. The relay in the prior art includes a base, on which a wire clamping assembly 300 is disposed. The wire clamping assembly 300 includes a screw and a wire clamping block, and the base has a screw hole 10. The wire clamping block is disposed at the bottom of the screw hole 10, and the screw is connected to the thread formed on the wire clamping block to prevent the screw from coming out of the wire clamping block. When it is necessary to connect a wire, the screw is rotated further, causing the wire clamping block to move upward and clamp the wire.

[0031] During the assembly process described above, the screws and wire clamps can only be installed from different directions on the base. The wire clamps must be installed into the mounting holes before the screws are installed, making the installation process rather cumbersome.

[0032] Meanwhile, with the increasing demand for automated production in modern manufacturing, this installation method is difficult to adapt to automated assembly processes. Automated assembly typically relies on the coordinated operation of high-precision robotic arms, conveyor belts, and various automated positioning and tightening devices. However, the existing assembly method struggles to accurately grasp the clamping blocks and install them precisely onto the base, resulting in low assembly efficiency.

[0033] Therefore, the existing relay assembly methods are no longer suitable for the development trend of efficient, stable and automated production in the modern relay base manufacturing industry. There is an urgent need for a new relay screw assembly method that can overcome the above defects, facilitate automated assembly and ensure assembly quality.

[0034] This application provides a relay base that, by setting a limiting component within the mounting hole, allows the wire clamping component to be directly inserted into the mounting hole and cooperate with the limiting component to achieve fixation, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] in, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the relay base provided in this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A sectional view. Figure 4 for Figure 2 Top view of the mounting hole. Figure 5 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure after removing the clamping wire assembly. Figure 2 In the middle, X represents the insertion direction of the clamping component.

[0036] This application provides a wire clamping assembly mounting structure, comprising a body 100, a limiting component 200, and a wire clamping assembly 300. The body 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110, the limiting component 200 is disposed within the mounting hole 110, and the wire clamping assembly 300 includes a mounting member 310 and a wire clamping member 320. The mounting member 310 is disposed on the wire clamping member 320, and the wire clamping member 320 is disposed within the body 100. The mounting member 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 110, and the mounting member 310 abuts against the limiting component 200 to prevent the mounting member 310 from dislodging from the mounting hole 110.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the wire clamping assembly 300 is installed onto the main body 100, the limiting assembly 200 directly limits the mounting part 310. The wire clamping assembly 300 can be installed from only one direction of the main body 100, reducing installation steps. Furthermore, when the relay base is assembled using automated equipment, the automated equipment only needs to insert the wire clamping assembly 300 into the main body; precise positioning is not required, improving assembly efficiency. The limiting assembly 200 ensures the stable fixation of the wire clamping assembly 300 within the mounting hole 110, guaranteeing the reliability and stability of the product.

[0038] The main body 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 110. The mounting holes 110 are used to provide space for the installation of the wire clamping assembly 300. The size and shape of the mounting holes 110 are designed according to the specific structure and size of the wire clamping assembly 300 to ensure that the wire clamping assembly 300 can be inserted smoothly.

[0039] Combination Figure 2-5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the limiting component 200 includes a first limiting member 210 and a second limiting member 220.

[0040] The first limiting member 210 and the second limiting member 220 are both provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 110. When the mounting member 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 110, the first limiting member 210 and the second limiting member 220 respectively abut against the opposite sides of the mounting member 310 to fix the mounting member 310.

[0041] When the mounting component 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 110, the first limiting component 210 and the second limiting component 220 will undergo elastic deformation, tightly wrapping the mounting component 310. This elastic wrapping force can adapt to mounting components 310 with different diameter tolerances, ensuring reliable fixation even if there are certain deviations in the dimensions of the mounting component 310.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, the first limiting member 210 includes at least two first limiting blocks 211, and the second limiting member 220 includes at least two second limiting blocks 221;

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting block 211 and the second limiting block 221 are arranged alternately. Specifically, each first limiting block 211 is located in the gap between two adjacent second limiting blocks 221, and vice versa. This staggered arrangement allows the limiting blocks to limit the mounting member 310 from multiple different angles, forming an all-round limiting network.

[0044] For example, suppose the circumference of the mounting hole 110 is divided into six equal regions, numbered 1-6 in a clockwise direction. First limiting blocks 211 are provided in regions 1, 3, and 5, and second limiting blocks 221 are provided in regions 2, 4, and 6. Thus, when the mounting component 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 110, the circumferential surface of the mounting component 310 will simultaneously contact multiple first limiting blocks 211 and second limiting blocks 221, greatly improving the stability of the limiting action. It should be noted that the staggered arrangement of the first limiting blocks 211 and second limiting blocks 221 is only one implementation method, and not the only one. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive design adjustments according to actual conditions.

[0045] During insertion, the first limiting block 211 also provides initial limiting for the mounting part 310. As the contact area between the outer diameter of the mounting part 310 and the first limiting block 211 gradually increases, the first limiting block 211 generates a certain frictional force on the mounting part 310, preventing the mounting part 310 from shaking arbitrarily and ensuring the accuracy of the insertion of the mounting part 310.

[0046] When the mounting part 310 is fully inserted into the mounting hole 110, the first limiting block 211 and the second limiting block 221 will abut tightly against the opposite sides of the mounting part 310, thereby applying pressure to the mounting part 310 and forming a stable clamping force.

[0047] This clamping force not only prevents the mounting part 310 from moving in the horizontal direction, but also effectively resists the tension and torque of the mounting part 310 in the vertical direction. For example, during the movement of the relay, due to vibration or external force, the mounting part 310 may be subjected to upward tension or rotational torque, but through the limiting action of the first limiting block 211 and the second limiting block 221, it can be ensured that the mounting part 310 always remains in a fixed position within the mounting hole 110 and will not loosen or fall off.

[0048] The first limiting member 210 is located on the side of the second limiting member 220 near the wire clamping assembly 300. The first limiting member 210 is used to prevent the mounting member 310 from coming off the bottom of the body 100, and the second limiting member 220 is used to prevent the mounting member 310 from coming off the top of the body 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 210 and the second limiting member 220 are integrally formed with the inner wall of the mounting hole 110.

[0050] Among them, the most common manufacturing method is injection molding. When the limiting component 200, which is manufactured by integral molding, is subjected to external forces, whether it is the weight of the clamping component 300 itself, the vibration stress during use, or the possible impact force from the outside, the force can be evenly distributed and transmitted through the integral structure.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the mounting component 310 includes screws, and the wire clamping component 320 includes a wire clamping block 321 and a current bar 322.

[0052] The current bar 322 is set on the wire clamping block 321, and the wire clamping block 321 is provided with screw holes. The screw is connected to the wire clamping block 321 through the screw holes.

[0053] The wire clamp block 321, as the basic component of the wire clamp assembly 300, serves to support the current strip 322 and the screw. A screw hole for mounting the screw is provided on one side of the wire clamp block 321. The inner diameter of the screw hole precisely matches the outer diameter of the screw, with tolerances controlled within a very small range to ensure that the screw can be screwed in smoothly and with sufficient tightening force. To improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the screw hole, the inner wall of the screw hole is nickel-plated, forming a hard protective layer and extending the service life of the wire clamp block 321.

[0054] The current bar 322 is a component in the wire clamp assembly 300 used for conducting current. It mainly connects the internal circuit of the relay and is usually made of copper alloy, which has good electrical and thermal conductivity. The surface of the current bar 322 is finely polished to reduce resistance and minimize power loss.

[0055] Secondly, this application also provides a relay, including an electrical component and a relay base as described above connected to the electrical component.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiments referred to in the specification, such as "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments," may include specific features, structures, or characteristics, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0057] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0058] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this disclosure should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0059] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
