Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control element technology, and more specifically, to a relay. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional industrial control, general-purpose relays or PLC standard I / O modules are often used to replace specialized safety control components. However, this traditional structure suffers from several drawbacks. First, it relies on screws to secure the housing and internal circuit boards, increasing assembly steps and labor costs. Loose screws can also lead to poor contact and secondary malfunctions. Second, the housing assembly lacks concealed fixing design, making it easy for external personnel to accidentally disassemble and damage internal components. Furthermore, the internal circuit boards lack anti-reverse installation design; if inserted incorrectly during assembly, the circuit may be burned out, increasing maintenance costs and equipment downtime. Third, general-purpose components lack optimized heat dissipation structures for the high-temperature environment of industrial settings, leading to accelerated aging due to heat buildup over time. The lack of intuitive operating status indicators makes it difficult for operators to quickly determine if components are functioning correctly, delaying troubleshooting. Finally, when traditional general-purpose relays or PLC standard I / O modules are used to control equipment, they cannot switch to a safe state (power-off shutdown) when they malfunction (e.g., contact welding, coil jamming, or electronic component damage), posing a risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to providing a safety relay that can effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a safety relay, including a housing, which comprises an upper housing and a lower housing; The upper housing includes an upper plate, and an upper rear baffle is provided at the rear end of the upper housing. The upper plate has a first upper extension and a second upper extension extending downward on both sides from the middle to the rear section. The rear ends of the first upper extension and the second upper extension are connected to the upper rear baffle. The first upper extension and the second upper extension are each provided with an upper heat dissipation vent, and the inner side of each is provided with two positioning posts connected to the upper plate.

The middle section to the rear section of the lower plate are respectively provided with a first lower extension and a second lower extension that cooperate with the first upper extension and the second upper extension. The rear ends of the first lower extension and the second lower extension are connected to the lower rear baffle. The first lower extension and the second lower extension are each provided with a lower heat dissipation vent. The lower plate is provided with four positioning cylinders that cooperate with each of the positioning pins. The inner side of the first lower extension is provided with a lower locking platform that cooperates with the upper locking block, the inner side of the lower rear baffle is provided with a first lower locking block that cooperates with the first upper locking platform, and the inner side of the second lower extension is provided with a second lower locking block that cooperates with the second upper locking platform.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper locking block includes a connecting section, which is inclined with a lower outer edge and a higher inner edge. An extension section is provided at the upper end of the connecting section, and a locking slot is formed in the upper half of the extension section. The upper locking block is made of a deformable material. The lower end of the connecting section is connected to the first upper extension. The lower card holder includes a positioning part for insertion into the card slot, and a reinforcing block is provided at the angle between the positioning part and the first lower extension; the outer side of the positioning part is connected to the first lower extension, and an inclined surface is provided at the upper inner side of the positioning part.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting section and the extension section are made of an integral molding structure; the positioning part and the reinforcing block are made of an integral molding structure.
[0007] Furthermore, the first lower card block and the second lower card block have the same structure as the upper card block; the first upper card platform and the second upper card platform have the same structure as the lower card platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the front ends of the upper and lower housings are connected by a cover; The cover is provided with a light guide post, which is integrated with the cover by a secondary injection molding process.
[0009] Furthermore, the shell cover includes a main cover, and side covers are provided at both ends of the main cover. The light guide post is located in the lower half of the main cover.
[0010] Furthermore, two retaining rings are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the main cover, and the front half of the upper shell and the lower shell are provided with bosses that cooperate with each retaining ring. The outer side of the boss is a guide surface and the inner side is a positioning surface. The main cover has three front and rear limiting blocks at both the upper and lower ends of its inner side. The upper and lower shells each have three L-shaped front and rear limiting components. Each front and rear limiting component corresponds to and cooperates with each front and rear limiting block.
[0011] Furthermore, both the upper and lower housings are provided with two left and right limiting strips, and each of the left and right limiting strips is respectively attached to the inner wall of each of the side covers.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a slider made of elastic material, the slider having an opening in the middle, two connecting rods being provided at the opening, the connecting ends of each connecting rod being connected to the upper and lower ends of the opening respectively, and the extended ends of each connecting rod being suspended and provided with a positioning rod; Both the upper rear baffle and the lower rear baffle are provided with through holes, and each of the positioning rods is inserted into the through holes respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a PCBA board disposed within the lower housing; The front half of the lower plate is provided with two buckles for limiting the two sides of the PCBA board. The inner side of the lower rear baffle is provided with two limiting platforms for positioning the PCBA board. The anti-reverse mounting block is provided on the inner side of the lower rear baffle and is located at the anti-reverse mounting port of the PCBA board. The front half of the PCBA board is provided with wiring terminals on both sides, and each wiring terminal is located between the upper rear baffle and the lower plate.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The upper and lower shells are precisely fitted together by four positioning pins and positioning cylinders, achieving initial positioning without offset. The design, secured by three sets of snap-fit structures, significantly reduces assembly difficulty, allowing for assembly without complex tools. The snap-fit positions are concealed, preventing unauthorized disassembly and ensuring the safety of the internal structure. This also facilitates efficient disassembly by maintenance personnel after understanding the principles, balancing safety and maintainability. Simultaneously, the reinforcing blocks on the outer side of the lower positioning platform enhance the locking strength, ensuring a stable assembly that is unlikely to loosen over long-term use. 2. The cover and housing are fixed together by the cooperation of 4 left and right limiting strips, 6 front and rear limiting blocks and L-shaped limiting parts, and 4 retaining rings and bosses. The left and right limiting strips fit against the inner wall of the side cover to prevent the cover from shifting left and right. The front and rear limiting blocks and limiting parts are precisely engaged to restrict forward and backward movement. The outer guide surface of the boss facilitates the insertion of the retaining ring, and the inner positioning surface ensures the limiting effect. This makes the cover installation simple and quick, and can maintain stability for a long time, effectively protecting the internal components. Moreover, the light guide column is integrated with the cover through secondary injection molding, without additional assembly steps, improving production efficiency while ensuring stable light guiding function. 3. The lower housing uses two buckles to laterally limit the PCBA board on both sides, and two limiting platforms to longitudinally position the rear end. This achieves a stable fixation without screws, greatly reducing assembly steps and time, and lowering production labor costs. At the same time, the anti-reverse mounting block on the inner side of the lower rear baffle corresponds to the anti-reverse mounting port of the PCBA board. If installed in reverse, it will block the board from being inserted. Structurally, it avoids circuit failures caused by reverse installation, ensures the safe operation of the relay circuit, and reduces maintenance costs and downtime due to malfunctions. 4. The upper heat dissipation vents of the upper housing extension and the lower heat dissipation vents of the lower housing extension work together to form a good airflow channel, which can dissipate the heat generated by the internal components when the relay is working in a timely manner, avoiding the impact of high temperature on component performance and service life, improving the long-term operational stability of the product, and adapting to the needs of long-term continuous operation in industrial environments. The light guide on the cover can clearly guide the light from the PCBA board indicator lights, allowing operators to intuitively judge the relay's operating status, facilitating timely detection and handling of problems, and improving equipment operation and maintenance efficiency; 5. Compared to traditional general-purpose relays or PLC standard I / O modules, this safety relay is designed with multiple fixing and error prevention mechanisms (such as anti-reverse installation and stable latches) to ensure its operational stability. This reduces the risk of failure to switch to a safe state (power failure shutdown) due to contact welding, coil jamming, or other faults. It can effectively avoid personal injury or equipment damage caused by equipment failure in industrial scenarios. It has the advantages of improved safety, simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and resistance to damage. Attached Figure Description
