Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Next, referring to the drawings, exemplary embodiments will be described in more detail. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be understood as being limited to the embodiments described in this specification. In contrast, these embodiments are provided to fully and completely cover the present invention and to convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art in an all-round manner. The same reference numerals in the figures indicate the same or similar configurations, and their detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 15, embodiments of the present invention provide a contact piece structure including a contact piece body 1. The contact piece body 1 has a slot 2, the slot 2 has opposing first side walls 21 and second side walls 22, the first side wall 21 has a first flat portion 211 and a projection 212 projecting from the first flat portion 211 toward the second side wall 22, the second side wall 22 includes a second flat portion 221 and a recessed portion 222 recessed from the second flat portion 221 and corresponding to the projection 212, where the first distance d1 from the top of the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 is located is smaller than the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first side wall 21 of the slot 2 has a first flat portion 211 and a projection 212, and the second side wall 22 has a second flat portion 221 and a recessed portion 222. The first distance d1 from the top of the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 is located is smaller than the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1. This prevents other contact piece bodies 1 from being inserted into the slot 2 during the transport process, thus preventing deformation of the contact piece structure and eliminating the need to disassemble before assembly, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0021] The contact piece structure of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0022] As shown in Figure 14, the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1 is the dimension of the contact piece body 1 in a direction perpendicular to the contact piece body 1. As shown in Figure 1, both the first planar portion 211 and the second planar portion 221 are planar.

[0023] In some embodiments, the second distance d2 between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 is greater than or equal to the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1. Here, the second distance d2 between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 may be the distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221, or the distance between the top of the projection 212 and the bottom of the recessed portion 222. That is, whether it is the distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221, or the distance between the top of the projection 212 and the bottom of the recessed portion 222, in either case it is greater than or equal to the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1.

[0024] In other words, a non-linear gap is formed between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22, the width of which the gap is greater than or equal to the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, and the second distance d2 between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 is greater than or equal to the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, thereby ensuring the strength of the contact piece body 1 when it is formed with a press die. That is, when the contact piece body 1 is press-formed to create a gap between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22, the smaller the second pitch d2 of which the gap is, in particular, the smaller it is than the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, the less strength the contact piece body 1 has when it is press-formed, and the more likely it is to break. In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the second pitch d2 of the gap of the contact piece body 1 to be greater than or equal to the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, the strength of the contact piece body 1 when it is press-formed can be increased, so that the contact piece body 1 is less likely to break and is suitable for mass production. Here, the width of the gap can be understood as the dimension of the gap along the direction perpendicular to the first planar portion 211 and the second planar portion 221.

[0025] In some embodiments, the distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221 is less than or equal to the distance between the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 and the recessed portion 222 of the second side wall 22.

[0026] In some embodiments, the distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221 is greater than the distance between the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 and the recessed portion 222 of the second side wall 22.

[0027] Specifically, the distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221, and the distance between the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 and the recessed portion 222 of the second side wall 22 can be adjusted. That is, the distribution of the width dimensions of the gap formed by the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 may be the same or different, but by making the first distance d1 from the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 of the second side wall 22 is located smaller than the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, the projection 212 can function as a barrier to other contact piece bodies, preventing the insertion of other contact piece bodies.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second distance d2 between the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 may be 1.5 to 4 times the first distance d1 from the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 of the second side wall 22 is located. Specifically, in addition to the two endpoints mentioned above, it may also be 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, 3.5 times, etc., and is not particularly limited here. In some embodiments, the first distance d1 from the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 of the second side wall 22 is located may be 1 / 4, 1 / 3, or 1 / 2 of the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1, and is not particularly limited here. For example, the second distance d2 may be 0.5 mm, the first distance d1 may be 0.125 mm, and the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1 may be 0.25 mm.

[0029] The distance between the first flat portion 211 and the second flat portion 221, and the distance between the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 and the recessed portion 222 of the second side wall 22 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted according to the circumstances of a person skilled in the art. Here, the distance between the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 can be understood as the distance between the top of the projection 212 and the bottom of the recessed portion 222.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 10, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 are at least one of a triangle, arch, square, rectangle, trapezoid, and hexagon, respectively.

[0031] In some embodiments, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 are identical, as shown in Figures 1 to 9.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 are both triangular. Here, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 can be understood as the shapes of the figures formed by the edge contours of the projection 212 and the recess 222. The number of projections 212 and recess 222 shown in Figure 1 may be multiple, while Figure 2 shows that the number of projections 212 and recess 222 is single (one), and that the projection 212 and recess 222 are located on the edge of slot 2. As shown in Figure 3, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 are both arch-shaped. As shown in Figure 4, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 are both square. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 are both rectangular, and the dimensions of the projection 212 in Figure 6 are smaller than the dimensions of the recess 222. As shown in Figure 7, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 are both trapezoidal. As shown in Figure 8, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 are both U-shaped. As shown in Figure 9, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 are both regular hexagons, and of course, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 may be pentagonal, octagonal, etc., and are not particularly limited here. Having the same shape for the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222 makes it easier to adjust the distance between the projection 212 and the recessed portion 222, simplifies processing, and improves processing efficiency.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the shapes of the projection 212 and the recess 222 may differ. For example, the shape of the projection 212 may be triangular and the corresponding recess 222 may be arched, or the shape of the projection 212 may be trapezoidal and the corresponding recess 222 may be rectangular, and this can be adjusted according to the actual situation by those skilled in the art, and is not particularly limited here.

[0034] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 10, the shapes of the multiple protrusions 212 on the first side wall 21 may also be different, and the shapes of the multiple recesses 222 on the second side wall 22 may also be different. For example, the shape of the first protrusion 212 on the first side wall 21 may be arch-shaped, the shape of the second protrusion 212 may be rectangular, the shape of the recess 222 corresponding to the first protrusion 212 may be arch-shaped, trapezoidal, or rectangular, and the shape of the recess 222 corresponding to the second protrusion 212 may be rectangular, triangular, or square. In other words, in the case of multiple protrusions 212, the shapes of protrusion 212 may be different from those of other protrusions 212, and the shapes of the recesses 222 corresponding to the protrusions 212 may be the same or different, and can be installed according to the actual situation by a person skilled in the art, and are not particularly limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 12, the contact piece structure includes a compression spring, the compression spring includes the contact piece body 1 in the embodiments, and for ease of distinction, the contact piece body 1 is referred to as the first contact piece body 1', and the first contact piece body 1' has two connection holes 3' for mounting a movable contact. Here, the slot 2 includes a first slot 2', the first slot 2' is provided at one end of the compression spring having the connection holes 3', and the first slot 2' is located between the two connection holes 3'.

[0036] Here, the compression spring is used to connect the movable contact and the relay's push card. When the push card moves, the first contact piece body 1' of the compression spring also moves with it, driving the movement of the movable contact and thereby achieving the closing or disconnection of the movable contact and the fixed contact. For this reason, the two connection holes 3' of the first contact piece body 1' of the compression spring are used to connect the movable contact. The first slot 2' is provided between the two connection holes 3', which reduces the stress on the first contact piece body 1' and improves the service life of the compression spring. Furthermore, the first slot 2' of the first contact piece body 1' of the compression spring has a projection 212 on the first side wall 21 that protrudes toward the second side wall 22, and the second side wall 22 has a recess 222 corresponding to the projection 212, which increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the compression spring and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the compression spring.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13, the contact piece structure includes a movable contact piece, the movable contact piece includes the contact piece body 1 in the embodiments, the contact piece body 1 being a second contact piece body 1'', and one end of the second contact piece body 1'' of the movable contact piece is provided with two first mounting holes 3'' for mounting a movable contact, the slot 2 includes a second slot 2'', the second slot 2'' is provided between the two first mounting holes 3''.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 13, the other end of the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece is provided with two second mounting holes 4" for mounting a fixed contact, and the second slot 2" extends from one end of the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece, where the first mounting hole 3" is provided, toward the second mounting hole 4", but does not reach the second mounting hole 4".

[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figures 13 and 14, the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece is provided with a first mounting hole 3" and a second mounting hole 4" at opposite ends for mounting a movable contact and a fixed contact, respectively. The second slot 2" is provided between the two mounting holes, which reduces stress on the movable contact piece and improves the service life of the compression spring. At the same time, the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2" has a projection 212, and the second side wall 22 has a recess 222, thereby increasing the effective length of the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece. After the movable contact piece, movable contact, and fixed contact are assembled and energized, the increased effective length can increase the ampere force received by the movable contact piece (after the movable contact piece is assembled and energized, it can form a parallel circuit structure with other movable contact pieces, and two parallel movable contact pieces can attract each other with ampere force). Thus, the contact pressure between the movable contact and the fixed contact can be increased, improving the stability of the closure of the movable contact and the fixed contact.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the contact piece structure includes a plurality of stacked movable contact pieces, each movable contact piece having a second contact piece body 1" with a second slot 2", and the shapes of the protrusions 212 on the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2" of each movable contact piece are the same or different, and the shapes of the recesses 222 on the second side wall 22 of the second slot 2" of each movable contact piece are the same or different.

[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the contact piece structure includes three movable contact pieces, and the shapes of the projections 212 and recesses 222 of the second contact piece body 1'' of the three movable contact pieces are identical, for example, all being arch-shaped. The second contact piece bodies 1'' of the three movable contact pieces are the first movable contact piece body 11'', the second movable contact piece body 12'', and the third movable contact piece body 13'', respectively. In some other embodiments, the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2'' of the first movable contact piece body 11'' is triangular. The recessed portion 222 may be triangular, the projection 212 on the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2" of the second movable contact piece body 12" may be arch-shaped, the recessed portion 222 may be arch-shaped, and the projection 212 on the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2" of the third movable contact piece body 13" may be trapezoidal or recessed portion 222. Of course, the projections 212 of each movable contact piece may have different shapes, and the recessed portion 222 may have different shapes, and is not particularly limited here.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the contact piece structure includes a compression spring and a movable contact piece. The installation of the first slot 2' of the first contact piece body 1' of the compression spring and the installation of the second slot 2" of the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece are the same as those described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0043] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the first side wall 21 of the second slot 2" of the second contact piece body 1" of the movable contact piece does not have a projection 212, and the second side wall 22 does not have a recessed portion 222, and both the first side wall 21 and the second side wall 22 are flat. The movable contact piece is combined with the compression spring of the above embodiment to form the contact piece structure of the above embodiment.

[0044] In some embodiments, the contact piece structure may further include a movable contact and a fixed contact (not shown), and the connection hole 3' of the first contact piece body 1' of the compression spring, the first mounting hole 3' of the second contact piece body 1'' of the movable contact piece are assembled with the movable contact, and the second mounting hole 4'' of the second contact piece body 1'' of the movable contact piece are assembled with the fixed contact, thereby forming a movable contact assembly in a relay.

[0045] As described above, the first side wall 21 of the slot 2 in the embodiment of the present invention has a first flat portion 211 and a projection 212, and the second side wall 22 has a second flat portion 221 and a recessed portion 222. The first distance d1 from the top of the projection 212 of the first side wall 21 to the plane where the second flat portion 221 is located is smaller than the thickness d3 of the contact piece body 1. This prevents other contact piece bodies 1 from being inserted into the slot 2 during the transport process, thus preventing deformation of the contact piece structure and eliminating the need to disassemble before assembly, thus improving production efficiency.

[0046] Embodiments of the present invention further provide a magnetic holding relay, which, as shown in Figures 16 and 17, includes a housing and a contact piece structure as described in any of the embodiments above.

[0047] Here, the housing 5 includes a base 51 and a cover body 52. ​​The contact piece structure is mounted on the base 51, and when the cover body 52 is closed, the contact piece structure can be housed within the housing 5. The contact piece structure has already been specifically described in the above embodiment, so it will not be repeated here.

[0048] As described above, the magnetic holding relay of the embodiment of the present invention includes the contact piece structure described in any of the above embodiments, the contact piece structure is less prone to deformation, and the production efficiency of the magnetic holding relay is improved.
