Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] [Cross-Citation of Related Applications] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent applications filed on June 18, 2021 with application numbers 202110678844.1, 202110680502.3 and 202121367443.6, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of power technology, and more particularly to polyphase electromagnetic relays. [Background technology]

[0003] Multiphase electromagnetic relays are primarily used in power systems, using two or more sets of contacts, each consisting of two or more sets of movable and fixed spring members, to turn on or off power to a load. For example, a three-phase electromagnetic relay has three sets of contacts, each consisting of three sets of movable and fixed spring members, to control the on or off of three-phase electricity in a load. Such multiphase electromagnetic relays typically include a base and multiple lead-out terminals extending from the base to the outside. Each lead-out terminal includes an incoming terminal and an outgoing terminal, and the incoming terminal and outgoing terminal of the same path are connected to the same set of movable and fixed contact structures in the base. When the movable contacts of the same set contact the fixed contacts, the incoming terminal and outgoing terminal of the same path are connected, and when the movable contacts and fixed contacts of the same set separate, the incoming terminal and outgoing terminal of the same path are not connected.

[0004] In such prior art multi-phase electromagnetic relays, the incoming and outgoing terminals of the same path are usually adjacent to each other and drawn out from the base, but due to the need for external wiring, such as the need for 1-input / 8-output wiring in a three-phase electromagnetic relay, some incoming or outgoing terminals must be drawn across the incoming or outgoing terminals of other paths, resulting in some incoming and outgoing terminals being distributed in an interlaced manner. Multi-phase electromagnetic relays with such interlaced and distributed outgoing terminals consume a lot of copper (the outgoing terminals are made of copper), are expensive, require complex copper member molding, require complex assembly and spot welding techniques, and pose a risk to the safety distance between high voltages. Furthermore, in such prior art multi-phase electromagnetic relays, the incoming and outgoing terminals of the same path each use a fixed spring seat and a moving spring lead piece, and the movable and fixed spring members inside the relay form a Z-bend structure, resulting in the disadvantages of high copper consumption and high cost.

[0051] This disclosure also proposes a connection structure between the lead piece and base of an electromagnetic relay. A relay is an electronic control device with a control system (also called an input circuit) and a controlled system (also called an output circuit). It is typically used in automatic control circuits and is essentially an automatic switch that controls large currents with small currents, fulfilling the roles of automatic adjustment, safety protection, and conversion circuitry in the electrical path. Prior art electromagnetic relays include a base, a magnetic circuit portion, a contact portion, an armature assembly, and a push card. The magnetic circuit portion and the contact portion are respectively mounted on the base. The armature assembly cooperates with the magnetic circuit portion, and the armature assembly can be operated when the magnetic circuit portion operates. The push card is connected between the movable spring seat of the contact portion and the armature assembly, and the operation of the armature assembly causes the movable spring seat to swing, thereby closing or separating the movable and fixed contacts. The contact portion of such an electromagnetic relay typically includes a pull-out piece, including a movable spring pull-out piece and a fixed spring pull-out piece, where the fixed spring pull-out piece and the fixed spring seat (i.e., the component to which the fixed contact is fixed) are integrally formed.

It is usually used in automatic control circuits. It is an automatic switch that controls large currents with small currents, and therefore plays roles such as automatic adjustment, safety protection, and conversion circuitry in the electrical path. The armature is a key component of an electromagnetic relay. The armature and the magnetic circuit of the electromagnetic relay work together to operate the movable spring in the contact part of the electromagnetic relay, thereby closing or separating the movable and fixed contacts. In prior art electromagnetic relays, the armature assembly is formed by injection molding plastic and the armature, and the push arm is also formed by plastic injection molding. The push arm of the armature assembly reciprocates the push card, and the push card works together with the movable spring seat in the contact part to operate the movable spring seat, thereby closing or separating the movable and fixed contacts. In such an electromagnetic relay with a push card, the plastic push arm of the armature assembly can withstand the reaction force transmitted by the push card through the movable spring seat. Particularly when multiple sets of movable spring seats are applied, the reaction force experienced by the plastic push arm of the armature assembly will be greater.
