Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of power technology, and particularly to polyphase electromagnetic relays.

Background Art

[0003] Polyphase electromagnetic relays are mainly applied to power systems, and realize the on - or - off of the power supply to the load through two or more sets of contact parts composed of two or more sets of movable and fixed spring members. For example, a three - phase electromagnetic relay has three sets of contact parts composed of three sets of movable and fixed spring members, and can realize the control of the on - or - off of the three - phase electricity of the load. Such polyphase electromagnetic relays usually include a base and lead - out terminals of a plurality of paths drawn from the inside of the base to the outside. The lead - out terminals of each path include an incoming - line terminal and an outgoing - line terminal respectively. The incoming - line terminal and the outgoing - line terminal of the same path communicate with the same set of movable and fixed contact structures inside the base respectively. When the movable contact of the same set contacts the fixed contact, the incoming - line terminal and the outgoing - line terminal of the same path communicate, and when the movable contact and the fixed contact of the same set are separated, the incoming - line terminal and the outgoing - line terminal of the same path do not communicate.

[0004] In such a conventional multi-phase electromagnetic relay, the incoming and outgoing terminals of the same path are usually drawn out from the base close to each other, but due to the need for external wiring, for example the need for 1-input 8-output wiring in a three-phase electromagnetic relay, some incoming or outgoing terminals must be drawn out across the incoming or outgoing terminals of other paths, which results in some incoming and outgoing terminals being distributed in a crossed manner, and such a multi-phase electromagnetic relay with crossed and distributed outgoing terminals consumes a lot of copper (the outgoing terminals are made of copper material), is expensive, requires complex molding of copper members, requires complex assembly and spot welding techniques, and has problems such as a risk of safety distance between high voltages. In addition, in such a conventional multi-phase electromagnetic relay, the incoming and outgoing terminals of the same path adopt fixed spring seats and moving spring drawers, respectively, and the movable and fixed spring members inside the relay form a Z-bend structure, which also results in high copper consumption and high cost.

[0077] In addition, the present disclosure proposes an electromagnetic relay with a push card.

[0078] A relay is an electronic control device that has a control system (also called an input circuit) and a controlled system (also called an output circuit). It is usually applied to an automatic control circuit and is actually an automatic switch that controls a large current with a small current. Therefore, it plays roles such as automatic adjustment, safety protection, and conversion circuit in an electrical circuit. The armature is an important member in an electromagnetic relay. Through the cooperation of the armature and the magnetic circuit part of the electromagnetic relay, the movable spring of the contact part of the electromagnetic relay can be operated, and the closing or separation of the movable and fixed contacts can be realized. In the electromagnetic relay of the prior art, plastic and the armature are injection-molded to form an armature assembly, and a push arm is formed by plastic injection molding.

Especially when applied to a plurality of sets of movable spring seats, the reaction force received by the plastic push arm of the armature assembly becomes larger. The pure plastic push arm is extremely easy to deform due to heat and water absorption in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the adsorption state of the product becomes unstable, and it affects the normal use of the electromagnetic relay.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the base is divided into upper and lower two layers. The magnetic circuit part and the armature assembly are attached to the upper layer of the base. The contact part is attached to the lower layer of the base. The push card cooperates with the contact part in the lower layer of the base. The plastic push arm with a metal insert of the armature assembly extends from the upper layer of the base to the lower layer of the base and cooperates with the push card.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there are two armatures in the armature assembly. The armature assembly further includes magnetic steel, which is sandwiched between the two armatures. The plastic member covers the middle portions of the two armatures and the magnetic steel. The metal insert is provided at the edge of the length of one of the two armatures.

The thickness of the metal insert is smaller than the thickness of one body of the one armature.

[0084] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the metal insert includes a first portion that is part of the width range of the body of the one armature, and a second portion that extends outside the width by the first portion that is outside the width range of the body of the one armature. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the plastic member is provided with a rotating shaft that can be mounted in the base, and the rotating shaft is offset from the center line position of the member composed of the two armatures and one magnetic steel.

[0085] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there are two push cards. The plastic member is provided with two plastic push arms for fitting corresponding to the two push cards. The metal inserts are respectively provided at both ends of the length of the one armature, and the two plastic push arms are respectively covered by the metal inserts at both ends of the length of the one armature.

[0086] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the axes of the two plastic push arms and the axis of the rotating shaft are in the same plane.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the two push cards are each provided with a plurality of second engaging grooves for matching the contact portions, the plurality of second engaging grooves are distributed along the longitudinal direction of the push card, and the first engaging groove is provided between a pair of adjacent second engaging grooves.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the contact portion includes a plurality of sets of fixed and movable contact cooperation structures. Each set of fixed and movable contact cooperation structures includes a first fixed spring seat, a first fixed contact, a first movable spring seat, a first movable contact, a second fixed spring seat, a second fixed contact, a second movable spring seat, and a second movable contact. The first fixed contact is fixed to one end of the first fixed spring seat and one end of the first movable spring seat. The first movable contact is fixed to the other end of the first movable spring seat.

[0089] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the electromagnetic relay with push cards of the present disclosure are as follows:

[0090] 1. In the present disclosure, the armature is further provided with a metal insert that extends integrally with the plastic push arm, and the plastic push arm completely covers the metal insert. Such a structure of the present disclosure can increase the push-pull strength of the plastic push arm of the armature assembly by utilizing the metal insert, solving the problem that the pure plastic swing arm in the prior art is prone to deformation due to heat and water absorption in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, resulting in an unstable adsorption state of the product, and can improve the deformation. The present disclosure can also solve the problem that the deformation dimensions of the pure iron swing arm due to heat treatment are unstable and the dispersion between lots with different thicknesses of the iron strip material is large. Such an armature assembly of the present disclosure, when it is necessary to adjust the dimensions, only needs to adjust the injection mold and does not need to adjust the iron member, which is advantageous for dimension management and control.

[0091] 2. In the present disclosure, the base is divided into upper and lower two layers, and the plastic push arm with a metal insert of the armature assembly extends from the upper layer of the base to the lower layer of the base to cooperate with the push card. The armature assembly adopts an eccentric double swing arm structure, and the swing arm (i.e., the plastic push arm) extends downward, and the swing arm and the movable spring are located in the same layer. With such a configuration of the present disclosure, the armature assembly can synchronously drive the operations of the two push cards, and the push-pull contact point and the movement direction can be on the same straight line.
