Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic control devices, and in particular to relays. [Background technology]
[0002] A relay is an electronic control device, which has a control system (also called input circuit) and a controlled system (also called output circuit), and is usually applied in automatic control circuits. A relay is actually an "automatic switch" that controls a large current with a small current. Therefore, in the circuit, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection, conversion circuit, etc.
[0003] A high voltage DC relay is a type of relay, and a high voltage DC relay in the prior art includes a pair of fixed contact leads, a movable assembly, a coil unit, and a magnetic circuit unit. The movable assembly includes a movable contactor assembly, a push rod assembly, and an elastic assembly, and the movable contactor assembly is attached to the push rod assembly via the elastic assembly. The magnetic circuit unit includes a fixed iron core and a movable iron core, and the fixed iron core is fixedly provided in the relay, and the movable iron core is connected to the push rod assembly. When the coil unit is energized, the fixed iron core generates a magnetic attraction force and attracts and moves the movable iron core, thereby moving the push rod assembly together with the movable contactor assembly, thereby realizing the closing of the contacts.
[0004] However, during the operation of the relay, the movable contact assembly is easy to rotate around the axis of the push rod relative to the push rod, so the contact friction between the movable contact assembly and the contact bracket of the push rod assembly will generate larger metallic noise. In addition, with the friction loss between the movable contact assembly and the contact bracket, the deflection angle of the movable contact assembly will become larger and larger, which will further affect the contact position between the movable contact assembly and the fixed contact lead end, making the contact resistance unstable. In addition, the friction between the movable contact assembly and the contact bracket is easy to generate metal particles, which will fall onto the contact surface of the contact, increasing the contact resistance, and even making the relay unable to conduct.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0030] Next, exemplary embodiments will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. However, exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be understood to be limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. Since the same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar structures, detailed descriptions will be omitted.
[0031] 1, a relay 1 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 10, a coil unit 20, an arc-extinguishing unit 30, and a seal unit 40. The seal unit 40 is provided within the housing 10, and a top portion of a fixed contact lead-out end of the seal unit 40 is exposed to the outer surface of the housing 10 through an exposure hole 11a of the housing 10. The coil unit 20 and the arc-extinguishing unit 30 are both provided within the housing 10.
[0032] It is understood that the terms "comprises," "having," and any variations thereof in the embodiments herein are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, e.g., a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally includes steps or units not listed, or optionally includes other steps or components inherent to those processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0033] As an example, the housing 10 includes a first case 11 and a second case 12, and the first case 11 is connected to the second case 12 to form a chamber for accommodating the coil unit 20, the arc-extinguishing unit 30, and the seal unit 40. In the embodiment of the present application, the exposure hole 11a is provided in the first case 11.
[0034] The arc-extinguishing unit 30 serves to extinguish an arc that occurs between the fixed contact drawn-out end of the seal unit 40 and the movable contact.
[0035] As an example, the arc-extinguishing unit 30 includes two arc-extinguishing magnets 31. The arc-extinguishing magnets 31 may be permanent magnets, and each of the arc-extinguishing magnets 31 may be substantially rectangular. The two arc-extinguishing magnets 31 are provided on both sides of the seal unit 40, respectively, and are provided facing each other along the longitudinal direction of the movable contact.
[0036] By providing two opposing arc-extinguishing magnets 31, a magnetic field can be formed around the fixed contact pull-out end and the movable contact. Therefore, the arc generated between the fixed contact pull-out end and the movable contact is stretched in a direction away from each other by the action of the magnetic field, thereby realizing arc extinction.
[0037] The arc-extinguishing unit 30 further includes two yoke clamps 32 provided corresponding to the positions of the two arc-extinguishing magnets 31. The two yoke clamps 32 surround the seal unit 40 and the two arc-extinguishing magnets 31. The design of the yoke clamps 32 surrounding the arc-extinguishing magnets 31 can prevent the magnetic field generated by the arc-extinguishing magnets 31 from diffusing to the outside and affecting the arc-extinguishing effect. The yoke clamps 32 are made of a soft magnetic material. Examples of the soft magnetic material include, but are not limited to, iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof.
[0038] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the seal unit 40 includes a contact receptacle 1000, a pair of fixed contact pull-out ends 2000, a movable assembly 3000, and a magnetic circuit portion 4000. The contact receptacle 1000 includes a contact holder 1000a.
[0039] The contact container 1000 is a stationary member for housing the contact assembly, and is a device having a chamber with a case as a main component. The contact container 1000 may be a device in which a plurality of members are connected by a predetermined assembly method.
[0040] The contact container 1000 has a contact chamber 1001 inside. The contact container 1000 may include an insulating cover 1100 and a yoke plate 1200, where the insulating cover 1100 covers one side of the yoke plate 1200, and the insulating cover 1100 and the yoke plate 1200 together form the contact chamber 1001.
[0041] The insulating cover 1100 includes a ceramic cover 1110 and a flange member 1120. The ceramic cover 1110 is connected to the yoke plate 1200 via the flange member 1120. The flange member 1120 may be a metal part having an annular structure, such as an iron-nickel alloy, and one end of the flange member 1120 is connected to an opening edge of the ceramic cover 1110 by laser welding, brazing, resistance welding, adhesion, or the like. The other end of the flange member 1120 may be connected to the yoke plate 1200 by laser welding, brazing, resistance welding, adhesion, or the like. The flange member 1120 is provided between the ceramic cover 1110 and the yoke plate 1200, which can facilitate the connection between the ceramic cover 1110 and the yoke plate 1200.
[0042] The contact container 1000 further has a pair of first through holes 1002, which communicate with the contact chamber 1001. The first through holes 1002 are used to drill the fixed contact lead ends 2000. In this embodiment, the first through holes 1002 are opened in the ceramic cover 1110.
[0043] The pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000 are connected to the ceramic cover 1110 of the contact container 1000, and at least a portion of each fixed contact lead end 2000 is located within the contact chamber 1001. One of the pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000 functions as a terminal through which current flows in, and the other functions as a terminal through which current flows out.
[0044] The pair of fixed contact lead-out ends 2000 are drilled in a pair of first through-holes 1002 in a one-to-one correspondence, and are connected to the ceramic cover 1110 by, for example, welding.
[0045] The bottom of the fixed contact lead-out end 2000 serves as a fixed contact, and the fixed contact may be provided integrally with or separately from the bottom of the fixed contact lead-out end 2000 .
[0046] 3 to 6, the movable assembly 3000 includes a movable contact assembly 3100, a push rod assembly 3200, and an elastic assembly 3300. The movable contact assembly 3100 is provided in the insulating cover 1100, and is attached to the push rod assembly 3200 via the elastic assembly 3300. Both ends of the movable contact assembly 3100 along a first direction D1 are in contact with or separated from the pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000, respectively. Here, the first direction D1 is the arrangement direction of the pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000.
[0047] In addition, if a pair of fixed contact lead-out ends 2000 and one movable contactor assembly 3100 are considered as one combination, the relay according to the embodiment of the present application may include a plurality of combinations.
[0048] The movable contact assembly 3100 may include a movable contact 3110, and both ends of the movable contact 3110 along the first direction D1 are in contact with or spaced apart from a pair of fixed contact pull-out ends 2000, respectively.
[0049] The number of the movable contacts 3110 may be one or more.
[0050] Each movable contactor 3110 may include a movable contactor body and a movable contact provided at both ends of the movable contactor body. The movable contacts may be a separate part and connected to the movable contactor body. Of course, the movable contacts may be integrally molded with the movable contactor body.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the movable contactor assembly 3100 includes two movable contactors 3110 arranged side by side. One end of each of the two movable contactors 3110 is in contact with or spaced apart from the fixed contacts of one of the fixed contact pull-out ends 2000, and the other end of each of the two movable contactors 3110 is in contact with or spaced apart from the fixed contacts of the other fixed contact pull-out end 2000. Furthermore, one end of each of the two movable contactors 3110 forms two contact points with one of the fixed contact pull-out ends 2000, and the other end of each of the two movable contactors 3110 forms two contact points with the other fixed contact pull-out end 2000.
[0052] In other embodiments, the number of movable contacts 3110 may be one, three, four, five, etc.
[0053] In addition, the movable contactor assembly 3100 includes a plurality of movable contactors 3110, and both ends of the plurality of movable contactors 3110 along the first direction D1 are respectively in contact with or separated from a pair of fixed contact lead ends. Since the plurality of movable contactors 3110 are not restricted by each other, when both ends of the plurality of movable contactors 3110 along the first direction D1 are respectively in contact with a pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000, a reliable parallel circuit is formed. The number of contacts formed by the plurality of movable contactors 3110 and one fixed contact lead end 2000 is two or more, which realizes the effect of current division. In addition, based on the principle that the magnitude of the electromotive repulsive force is proportional to the square of the current, the magnitude of the electromotive repulsive force of each contact is significantly reduced, which is favorable to improving the short-circuit resistance capability and improving the reliability of the relay.
[0054] Furthermore, the movable contact assembly 3100 may further include a second magnetic conductive body 6200, which is fixedly connected to the side of the movable contact 3110 facing away from the fixed contact lead end 2000. The function of the second magnetic conductive body 6200 will be described below.
[0055] Here, the numbers of the movable contactors 3110 and the second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 included in the movable contactor assembly 3100 correspond to each other. Specifically, when the number of the movable contactor 3110 is one, the number of the second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 is also one. When the number of the movable contactors 3110 is multiple (including two), the number of the second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 is also multiple. The multiple second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 are fixedly connected in a one-to-one relationship to the sides of the multiple movable contactors 3110 facing away from the fixed contact lead-out ends 2000.
[0056] 3 to 6, the moving direction of the movable contact 3110 is defined as a second direction D2, and a direction perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 is defined as a third direction D3. The push rod assembly 3200 includes a push rod 3210, a contact bracket 3220, and a stopper wall 3230. The push rod 3210 includes a base 3211 and a rod portion 3212, and the base 3211 is connected to one end of the rod portion 3212 in the axial direction. The contact bracket 3220 includes a bottom wall 3221, a first side wall 3222a, and a second side wall 3222b, and the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b are provided opposite to each other along the third direction D3. One ends of the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b are integrally connected to both sides of the bottom wall 3221 along the third direction D3, respectively, and the other ends of the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b are connected to a stopper wall 3230. The stopper wall 3230 is provided on the side facing the fixed contact pull-out end 2000 of the movable contact assembly 3100. The movable contact assembly 3100 is attached within a space surrounded by the contact bracket 3220 and the base 3211 via an elastic assembly 3300.
[0057] The first side wall 3222a has a first opening 3228, and the second side wall 3222b has a second opening 3229. Both ends of the stopper wall 3230 along the third direction D3 are engaged in the first opening 3228 and the second opening 3229, respectively.
[0058] Here, the contact bracket 3220, the rod portion 3212 and the base 3211 are connected by injection molding, and the base 3211 covers the bottom wall 3221, one end of the first side wall 3222a and one end of the second side wall 3222b.
[0059] In another embodiment, both ends of the stopper wall 3230 may also be integrally connected to the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b, respectively.
[0060] The elastic assembly 3300 is provided between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the base 3211, and applies an elastic force to the movable contact assembly 3100 to move it toward the stopper wall 3230, thereby providing a contact pressure.
[0061] It will be appreciated that the elastic assembly 3300 can flexibly support the movable contact assembly 3100 to provide contact pressure.
[0062] Here, when the number of the movable contacts 3110 is plural, the multiple movable contacts 3110 are arranged side by side along the third direction D3.

The rod portion 3212 is drilled in the second through hole 1210 so as to be movable along the axial direction. A base 3211 at one axial end of the rod portion 3212 is provided within the contact chamber 1001.
[0064] The seal unit 40 further includes a metal cover 5000, which is connected to the side of the yoke plate 1200 facing away from the insulating cover 1100, and the metal cover 5000 covers the second through hole 1210 of the yoke plate 1200. The metal cover 5000 and the yoke plate 1200 are surrounded as a chamber for accommodating the fixed iron core 4300 and the movable iron core 4400 of the magnetic circuit section 4000.
[0065] 1, the coil unit 20 includes a coil bobbin 21 and a coil 22. The coil bobbin 21 is hollow and made of an insulating material. The metal cover 5000 is provided inside the coil bobbin 21. The coil 22 surrounds the coil bobbin 21.
[0066] As shown in Figs. 3 to 6, the magnetic circuit section 4000 includes a fixed core 4300, a movable core 4400, and a reset member 4500. The fixed core 4300 is fixedly provided in the metal cover 5000, and a part of the fixed core 4300 enters the second through hole 1210. The fixed core 4300 has a through hole 4310, which is provided corresponding to the position of the second through hole 1210 and is used to drill the rod section 3212. The movable core 4400 is movably provided in the metal cover 5000, and is provided facing the fixed core 4300 along the axial direction of the rod section 3212. The movable core 4400 is connected to the rod section 3212, and is attracted to the fixed core 4300 when the coil 22 is energized. The movable core 4400 and the rod portion 3212 can be connected by screwing, caulking, welding, or other methods.
[0067] The reset member 4500 is located inside the metal cover 5000 and is provided between the fixed core 4300 and the movable core 4400, and is used to reset the movable core 4400 when the power supply to the coil 22 is cut off. The reset member 4500 may be a spring, and may be fitted onto the outside of the rod portion 3212.
[0068] When the coil 22 is energized, the fixed core 4300 attracts the movable core 4400 and moves it upward, and the movable core 4400 can drive the push rod assembly 3200 to move upward via the rod portion 3212. When the movable contactor 3110 comes into contact with the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, the movable contactor 3110 is butted against the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, but the rod portion 3212 and the base 3211 continue to move upward until the overtravel is completed.
[0069] In the process of overtravel, the base 3211 presses the elastic assembly 3300, and after being pressed, the elastic assembly 3300 can provide an elastic force to the movable contact assembly 3100 to provide contact pressure.
[0070] Continuing with reference to Figures 4 and 6, the relay 1 further includes a first magnetic body 6100, which is fixedly connected to one side of the stopper wall 3230 facing the movable contact assembly 3100, and the first magnetic body 6100 is located on the side facing the fixed contact pull-out end 2000 of the movable contact assembly 3100.
[0071] When electricity is applied to the movable contactor 3110, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 is magnetized, thereby generating an attractive force on the movable contactor 3110 in the direction of closing the contacts. This attractive force resists the electromotive repulsive force caused by the short-circuit current between the movable contactor 3110 and the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, preventing the movable contactor 3110 and the fixed contact pull-out end 2000 from bouncing off each other, thereby preventing a short circuit.
[0072] Here, when the movable contactor assembly 3100 includes multiple movable contactors 3110 arranged in a line, the number of first magnetic bodies 6100 may be multiple, and the number of first magnetic bodies 6100 corresponds to the number of movable contactors 3110, and the multiple first magnetic bodies 6100 are each located on the side facing the fixed contact pull-out end 2000 of the multiple movable contactors 3110.
[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, when the movable contact assembly 3100 includes multiple movable contacts 3110 arranged side by side, the number of first magnetic bodies 6100 may be one, and this first magnetic body 6100 is arranged across the multiple movable contacts 3110 in the third direction D3.
[0074] Furthermore, when the movable contact assembly 3100 includes the movable contact 3110 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200, the second magnetic conductive body 6200 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable contact 3110 facing away from the fixed contact lead end 2000. The second magnetic conductive body 6200 forms a magnetic circuit with the first magnetic conductive body 6100.
[0075] Here, the number of the second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 corresponds to the number of the movable contacts 3110. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 is two, but is not limited thereto. The two second magnetic conductive bodies 6200 are fixedly connected to the sides facing away from the fixed contact lead ends 2000 of the two movable contacts 3110, respectively.
[0076] When both ends of the movable contactor 3110 contact the pair of fixed contact lead ends 2000, a current flows through the movable contactor 3110, forming a magnetic circuit surrounding the movable contactor 3110 between the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200. When a short-circuit current passes through the movable contactor 3110, an attractive force along the pressure direction of the contacts is generated between the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200. This attractive force resists the electric repulsive force caused by the short-circuit current between the movable contactor 3110 and the fixed contact lead end 2000, and the popping of the movable contactor 3110 and the fixed contact lead end 2000 can be prevented.
[0077] In addition, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200 may have a straight or U-shaped structure. The first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200 may be made of soft magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof.
[0078] In another embodiment, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 may be fixedly provided with respect to the contact can 1000 without being attached to the stopper wall 3230 of the push rod assembly 3200. In this way, the attractive force resisting a short circuit is transmitted to the contact can 1000, and since the contact can 1000 is a stationary member, excessive coil holding force is not required, further reducing the power consumption of the coil of the relay 1 and the volume of the relay 1, and improving the short circuit resistance.
[0079] In a specific embodiment, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 may be fixedly connected to the ceramic cover 1110 of the contact vessel 1000 .
[0080] In another specific embodiment, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 is also fixedly mounted in the contact receptacle 1000 by a fixed bracket (not shown). Specifically, the fixed bracket is mounted in the contact receptacle 1000 and fixedly connected to the yoke plate 1200, and the first magnetic conductive body 6100 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket.
[0081] In yet another embodiment, the distance between the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200 can be designed to be variable. Specifically, the distance between the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200 can be adjusted according to the magnitude of the current value, and the magnitude of the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic conductive body 6100 and the second magnetic conductive body 6200 can be changed to meet not only the short circuit resistance requirement but also the overload interruption requirement.
[0082] Optionally, the first magnetic conductive body 6100 may include a plurality of laminated magnetic conductive pieces. By increasing the number of thin magnetic conductive pieces, the overall thickness of the first magnetic conductive body 6100 can be increased. Since the thickness of the magnetic conductive pieces is relatively thin and they can be made of a thin strip-shaped material, the material cost is low and the operation is easy. Meanwhile, the number of magnetic conductive pieces can be flexibly adjusted according to the magnitude of the short-circuit current.
[0083] 4 and 6, the movable contact assembly 3100 has a first side 3100a and a second side 3100b that are provided opposite to each other along a third direction D3. The first side 3100a corresponds to a first side wall 3222a of the contact bracket 3220, and the second side 3100b corresponds to a second side wall 3222b of the contact bracket 3220.
[0084] When the movable contact assembly 3100 includes a plurality of movable contacts 3110 and a plurality of second conductive bodies 6200, the two second conductive bodies 6200 located outermost in the plurality of second conductive bodies 6200 each have a first side 3100a and a second side 3100b.
[0085] In another embodiment, when the movable contact assembly 3100 includes only a plurality of movable contacts 3110, the two movable contacts 3110 located outermost in the plurality of movable contacts 3110 each have a first side 3100a and a second side 3100b.
[0086] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the relay 1 of the embodiment of the present application further includes an anti-rotation structure 300, which includes a first anti-rotation member 310 and a second anti-rotation member 320, where the first anti-rotation member 310 is provided between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 is provided between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b.
[0087] According to the relay 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the first anti-rotation member 310 is provided between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 is provided between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. Therefore, when the movable contact assembly 3100 rotates with respect to the axis of the push rod, the first anti-rotation member 310 and / or the second anti-rotation member 320 can abut against the movable contact assembly 3100 along the third direction D3. As a result, the movable contact assembly 3100 can rotate with respect to the axis of the push rod. The movable contact assembly 3100 is sandwiched between the anti-rotation member 320, thereby avoiding metallic noise caused by contact friction between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b, significantly reducing the risk of metal particles being generated due to friction between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the contact bracket 3220, ensuring the reliability of the operation of the relay 1 product, reducing the amount of rotation of the movable contact assembly 3100 around the axis of the push rod relative to the push rod, and further ensuring the consistency of the contact position between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, thereby guaranteeing stable contact resistance.
[0088] 8, in the first embodiment of the present application, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 are both sheet structures made of flexible materials. The first side wall 3222a has a first inner surface 3223 facing the movable contact assembly 3100, and the first anti-rotation member 310 is attached to the first inner surface 3223 or the first side surface 3100a. The second side wall 3222b has a second inner surface 3225 facing the movable contact assembly 3100, and the second anti-rotation member 320 is attached to the second inner surface 3225 or the second side surface 3100b.
[0089] In one embodiment, the flexible material may be a non-metallic material such as, but not limited to, rubber or a wear-resistant plastic.
[0090] Here, the first anti-rotation member 310 may be attached to the first inner surface 3223 or the first side surface 3100a by a connection method such as welding or adhesive, and the second anti-rotation member 320 may be attached to the second inner surface 3225 or the second side surface 3100b by a connection method such as welding or adhesive.
[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 are both made of a flexible material, which can reduce the wear of the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 against the movable contact assembly 3100, and can also reduce the frictional force between the first anti-rotation member 310 and the first side surface 3100a and between the second anti-rotation member 320 and the second side surface 3100b, thereby avoiding the influence on the overtravel process. In addition, the flexible material can reduce the deflection force of the movable contact assembly 3100 against the contact bracket 3220, thereby reducing the rotation width of the movable contact assembly 3100 and reducing the frictional resistance and noise caused by mutual friction between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the contact bracket 3220.
[0092] Of course, in other embodiments, the first anti-rotation member 310 may be connected to the first side 3100a and the second anti-rotation member 320 may be connected to the second side 3100b.
[0093] Furthermore, during the entire movement of the push rod assembly 3200, the first anti-rotation member 310 always abuts between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 always abuts between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. Specifically, before the movable contact 3110 contacts the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, the first anti-rotation member 310 abuts between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 abuts between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. In the initial stage of over-travel (i.e., immediately after the movable contact 3110 contacts the fixed contact pull-out end 2000), the first anti-rotation member 310 abuts between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 abuts between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. In the final stage of over-travel (i.e., when the movable core 4400 contacts the fixed core 4300), the first anti-rotation member 310 still abuts between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 still abuts between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. Moreover, at any position between the initial stage of the overtravel and the final stage of the overtravel, the first anti-rotation member 310 abuts between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a, and the second anti-rotation member 320 abuts between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b. In this way, the movable contactor assembly 3100 can maintain stability throughout the entire movement of the movable assembly 3000, and the width of rotation of the movable contactor assembly 3100 around the axis of the push rod relative to the push rod can be reduced.
[0094] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the movable assembly 3000 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the movable assembly 3000 according to the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted, but the differences are as follows.
[0095] The contact bracket 3220 of the push rod assembly 3200 is inverted U-shaped and includes a top wall 3227 and two side walls (the two side walls respectively correspond to the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b in the first embodiment described above), one end of each of the two side walls being integrally connected to both sides of the top wall 3227 along the third direction D3, and the other ends of each of the two side walls being engaged with the base 3211.
[0096] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, a movable assembly 3000 according to the third embodiment of the present invention and the movable assembly 3000 according to the first embodiment will not be described in terms of the similarities therebetween, but the differences therebetween are as follows.
[0097] The first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 are both elastic sheets. The first anti-rotation member 310 is pressed between the first side wall 3222a and the first side surface 3100a of the movable contact assembly 3100, and provides a first elastic force to the movable contact assembly 3100. The second anti-rotation member 320 is pressed between the second side wall 3222b and the second side surface 3100b of the movable contact assembly 3100, and provides a second elastic force to the movable contact assembly 3100. The directions of the first elastic force and the second elastic force are opposite to each other.
[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 are both elastic sheets, and the elastic force of the elastic sheets can absorb the deflection amount of the movable contact assembly 3100, reduce the deflection force between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b of the contact bracket 3220, and reduce the frictional resistance and frictional noise between the movable contact assembly 3100 and the contact bracket 3220.
[0099] 12 to 14, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 each include a connection portion 330 and an elastic sheet portion 340. The two connection portions 330 are connected to the first side wall 3222a and the second side wall 3222b, respectively, and the two elastic sheet portions 340 extend from the two connection portions 330 in a direction away from the fixed contact pull-out end 2000, respectively, and the two elastic sheet portions 340 provide the movable contact assembly 3100 with a first elastic force and a second elastic force, respectively.
[0100] The connection portion 330 includes two hanging hooks 331, and the two hanging hooks 331 are hung on the lower edges of the first opening 3228 and the second opening 3229, respectively.
[0101] As shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, a movable assembly 3000 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention and a movable assembly 3000 according to the third embodiment will not be described in terms of the similarities therebetween, but the differences therebetween are as follows.
[0102] The anti-rotation structure 300 further includes a transition member 360, where one end of the first anti-rotation member 310 and one end of the second anti-rotation member 320 are integrally connected to both ends of the transition member 360 along the third direction D3.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the anti-rotation structure 300 further includes a transition piece 360, which is integrally connected to the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 via the transition piece 360, thereby improving the structural strength of the anti-rotation structure 300 and preventing the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 from rocking.
[0104] 18, in another embodiment, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 of the anti-rotation structure 300 are both provided with a slot 350. Here, the extending direction of the slot 350 is substantially parallel to the second direction D2.
[0105] 19, in yet another embodiment, the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 of the anti-rotation structure 300 are both provided with slots 350. Here, the extending direction of the slots 350 is inclined with respect to the second direction D2.
[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the slots 350 are provided in the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320, thereby improving the flexibility of the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 and reducing the elastic force of the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320, thereby better absorbing the deflection force of the movable contact assembly 3100. Meanwhile, wear on the movable contact assembly 3100 due to the high rigidity of the first anti-rotation member 310 and the second anti-rotation member 320 can be avoided.
[0107] As shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, a movable assembly 3000 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention and a movable assembly 3000 according to the fourth embodiment will not be described in terms of the similarities therebetween, but the differences therebetween are as follows.

Each connection portion 330 further includes a protrusion 333, and the protrusions 333 of the two connection portions 330 enter the first connection hole 410 and the second connection hole 420, respectively, and are press-fitted into the first connection hole 410 and the second connection hole 420, respectively.
[0115] As shown in FIG. 27, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 333 is circular.
[0116] In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 333 may be elliptical, as shown in Figure 29. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 333 may be other shapes, such as rectangular, triangular, etc.
[0117] As shown in FIGS. 30 to 32, a movable assembly 3000 according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention and a movable assembly 3000 according to the fifth embodiment will not be described in terms of the similarities therebetween, but the differences therebetween are as follows.
