A relay and an electric meter

[0001] Related Applications

[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410480442.4, filed on April 19, 2024, and entitled “A Relay”, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of relays, and in particular to a relay and an electric meter. BACKGROUND

[0004] The relay in the related art comprises a fixed part, a movable contact part, and a magnetic circuit part. The fixed part comprises a housing and a static contact group, and in an optional configuration, the static contact group comprises two static contacts fixed to the housing and connected to a power supply and a load of an external circuit respectively. Each static contact is provided with a static contact point, and the static contact points of the two static contacts are arranged along the Y-axis direction. In this configuration, the movable contact part comprises a pusher, a movable contact group, an elastic support group, and a limiting piece. The pusher is generally formed by plastic injection molding to electrically isolate the magnetic circuit part and the movable contact group from each other, and the pusher moves along the X-axis direction to drive the movable contact group to close or disconnect with the static contact group along the X-axis direction. The movable contact group generally comprises at least one movable contact, and the movable contact is provided with an overcurrent bridge and two movable contact points. The two movable contact points are arranged along the Y-axis direction and are fixed to the overcurrent bridge. The two movable contact points abut against the static contact points on the corresponding static contact along the closing direction and move away from the static contact points on the corresponding static contact along the disconnecting direction. The closing direction and the disconnecting direction are both the X-axis direction and are opposite to each other. The elastic support group is arranged along the X-axis direction between the pusher and the movable contact group. It stores energy when the movable contact group closes with the static contact group, and releases energy when the movable contact group disconnects from the static contact group. The limiting piece is fixed relative to the pusher and abuts against the movable contact group along the disconnecting direction when the movable contact group disconnects from the static contact group, so as to limit the distance between the movable contact points and the static contact points. The magnetic circuit part is used to drive the pusher to move along the X-axis direction. The magnetic circuit part in the related art can have a magnetic holding function, which can reduce the energy consumption of the relay. The magnetic circuit part with the magnetic holding function can have two types of swing type and straight type. The swing type magnetic circuit part comprises a coil assembly fixed relative to the housing and an armature assembly swinging relative to the housing. The coil assembly generally comprises a coil winding, an iron core, and two yokes. The iron core is arranged in the coil winding, and the two yokes are fixed to the two ends of the iron core. The ends of the two yokes away from the iron core form two magnetic driving ends, and the two magnetic driving ends are arranged along a first direction. The armature assembly comprises a permanent magnet and two armatures, and the permanent magnet and the two armatures are arranged in a I-shaped manner. The two armatures are parallel to each other and sandwich the permanent magnet therebetween. The coil winding is excited by a pulse electric signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends temporarily formed, so as to drive the armature assembly to swing relative to the housing about a rotation axis perpendicular to the first direction. The armature assembly drives the pusher to move along the X-axis direction through a swing arm. The straight type magnetic circuit part comprises a coil winding, a static iron core, a yoke plate, a yoke cylinder, a permanent magnet, and an armature. The coil winding, the static iron core, the yoke plate, the yoke cylinder, and the permanent magnet are fixed to the housing, and the armature moves linearly relative to the housing between the yoke plate and the static iron core. The armature is generally fixed to the pusher to drive the pusher to move along the X-axis direction.

[0005] Generally, the surfaces of the parts of the moving contact and the stationary contact that are in contact with each other are substantially spherical or spherical-like. If the moving contact and the stationary contact are misaligned with each other in the Y-axis direction and / or the Z-axis direction, the contact parts of the moving contact and the stationary contact when in contact with each other can not be at the top ends of the moving contact and the stationary contact, which can increase the contact resistance between the moving contact and the stationary contact and can also make the moving contact not fast enough to break away from the stationary contact, resulting in a longer arc breaking time and being detrimental to the service life of the moving contact and the stationary contact. To solve this problem, the relay generally includes two guide rods on both sides of the moving contact part in the Y-axis direction, the guide rods extend in the X-axis direction, one of the moving contact part and the housing is fixedly connected with the guide rods, and the other of the moving contact part and the housing is in sliding fit with the guide rods in the X-axis direction. The guiding effect of the above guide structure is not ideal. SUMMARY

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present application, a magnetic circuit portion is included, which comprises:

[0023] an armature assembly fixedly connected with the pusher and comprising a permanent magnet and two armatures, the two armatures being fixedly connected with two magnetic poles of the permanent magnet, respectively; and

[0024] a coil assembly provided with two magnetic driving ends, the coil assembly being excited by a pulse electric signal to reverse the polarity temporarily formed by the two magnetic driving ends, so as to switch the different positions of the two armatures in the X-axis direction and drive the armature assembly to move along the X-axis direction.

[0028] According to some embodiments of the present application, an electric meter is provided, comprising the relay in any of the above embodiments.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] In the prior art, the guide rod is in sliding fit with one of the moving contact part and the accommodating part. Since the guide rod extends along the X-axis direction and the moving contact group moves along the X-axis direction, the part of the guide rod in sliding fit is relatively long along the X-axis direction and is prone to flexural deformation, which makes the guiding effect unsatisfactory. In the present application, the guiding part extends into the sliding groove along the Z-axis direction to be in sliding fit with the sliding groove along the X-axis direction. Since the part of the guiding part in sliding fit extends perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving contact group, the part of the guiding part in sliding fit is much shorter than that in the prior art and is not prone to flexural deformation, and the guiding effect is better than that in the prior art. On this basis, the size of the fit surface of the guiding part in sliding fit with the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction can be shortened as much as possible to reduce the friction and make the driving force of the required magnetic circuit part smaller, so that the volume of the magnetic circuit part can be reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the relay.

[0031] In the present application, the two moving contact points are adapted to abut or move away from the corresponding stationary contact along the X-axis direction. Under this structure, the safety distance between the moving contact group and the stationary contact group is twice the actual distance of the moving contact point from the corresponding stationary contact along the X-axis direction, so that the relay has higher safety and stronger load capacity, and is more conducive to increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group and the stationary contact group.

[0032] In the present application, the guiding part is centrally arranged along the Y-axis direction, which can save space along the Y-axis direction compared with arranging the guide rods on both sides along the Y-axis direction, and avoid increasing the size of the relay along the Y-axis direction. At the same time, it can avoid the phenomenon that the moving contact part is stuck during movement due to the non-parallelism of the guide rods on both sides along the Y-axis direction, so that the magnetic driving force of the magnetic circuit part is not easily wasted on useless work, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the coil assembly.

[0033] In the present application, the elastic support group is arranged between the pushing piece and the moving contact group, which can provide an elastic force to the moving contact group along the closing direction after the pushing piece experiences overstroke, so that the moving contact group can be more reliably closed with the stationary contact group. When the relay bears a fault current, the moving contact group is less likely to be separated from the stationary contact group, thereby avoiding destructive arc drawing to damage the relay. The elastic support group can also generate an additional repulsive force when the moving contact group is separated from the stationary contact group, which helps to separate the moving contact and the stationary contact group.

[0034] In the present application, the first guide part is arranged on the limiting part, which means that the sliding groove is arranged on the accommodating part. Since the static contact group is fixedly connected to the accommodating part, arranging the sliding groove on the accommodating part is conducive to ensuring that the extension direction of the sliding groove is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the static contact points of the two static contacts, so that the sliding groove guides the guide part along the X-axis direction more accurately.

[0035] In the present application, since the limiting part abuts against the moving contact group before the pushing part moves into the overstroke along the closing direction, and when the moving contact point has abutted against the corresponding static contact point when entering the overstroke, arranging the first guide part on the limiting part can better guide the moving contact to move along the X-axis direction, so that the moving contact point correctly abuts against the static contact point, reduces the contact resistance between the moving contact point and the static contact point, and also shortens the time length of the electric arc drawn when the moving contact point and the static contact point are disconnected, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the moving contact point and the static contact point. This is because the guide part and the sliding groove slide along the X-axis direction, and a cooperation gap is inevitably formed between them. If the distance between the guide part and the moving contact along the X-axis direction is far, the cooperation gap will be enlarged by the movement of the moving contact, so that the moving contact point cannot correctly abut against the static contact point, thereby increasing the contact resistance between the moving contact point and the static contact point, and also making the time of drawing the electric arc longer when the moving contact point is disconnected from the static contact point, which is not conducive to the service life of the moving contact point and the static contact point.

[0036] In the present application, the connecting part and the pushing part are integrally formed by insert injection molding, so that the limiting part is more easily fixed relative to the pushing part, and the limiting part is more rigid, has a better limiting effect on the moving contact group, and can also save the size of the relay along the Y-axis direction; the two ends of the connecting part along the Z-axis direction respectively protrude out of the pushing part to form the connecting end fixedly connected with the limiting part, which can save the size of the relay along the Z-axis direction, and can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group and the static contact group in a limited space.

[0037] In the present application, the two first guide parts protrude into the corresponding sliding grooves from the limiting body along the Z-axis direction away from each other, which can support the limiting part by the side wall of the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction when the Y-axis direction is the direction of gravity, and can avoid the limiting part from deflecting in a plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, which is conducive to ensuring that the moving contact point correctly abuts against the static contact point along the X-axis direction.

[0038] In the present application, the first guide part is located at the front part of the limiting body along the closing direction, so that the first guide part is closer to the moving contact point along the X-axis direction, which is more conducive to the moving contact point correctly abutting against the static contact point along the X-axis direction, reducing the contact resistance between the moving contact point and the static contact point, and also shortening the time length of the electric arc drawn when the moving contact point and the static contact point are disconnected, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the moving contact point and the static contact point.

[0039] In the present application, the projection of the first guide part on the first projection plane is circular, which is conducive to reducing the sliding friction between the first guide part and the sliding groove along the X-axis direction and avoiding the sliding cooperation between the first guide part and the sliding groove from being jammed.

[0040] In the application, the material of the first guide part is plastic, which is beneficial to avoid scratching the plastic material of the accommodating part when the first guide part is made of metal, thereby preventing the contact resistance between the moving contact and the stationary contact from being affected by the scratches falling on the moving contact and the stationary contact. The material of the limiting body is metal, which is more rigid and better limits the moving contact group. The first guide part and the limiting body are integrally formed by insert injection molding or bonded or threaded connection, the combination of the two is better, the position of the first guide part along the Y-axis direction is more accurate, which is beneficial to better sliding cooperation with the sliding groove along the X-axis direction.

[0041] In the application, the first guide part and the second guide part cooperate with each other, which can better keep the moving contact part moving along the X-axis direction by sliding with the sliding groove along the X-axis direction, while avoiding the whole formed by the pushing piece and the limiting piece fixed to each other from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensure that the moving contact correctly abuts against the stationary contact along the X-axis direction.

[0042] In the application, the two second guide parts extend into the corresponding sliding grooves from the pushing body along the Z-axis direction away from each other, which can support the pushing piece along the Y-axis direction by the side wall of the sliding groove when the Y-axis direction is the direction of gravity, and cooperate with the first guide part to support the whole moving contact part. At the same time, it can also avoid the pushing piece deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensure that the moving contact correctly abuts against the stationary contact along the X-axis direction.

[0043] In the application, the projection of the second guide part on the first projection plane is circular, which is beneficial to reduce the sliding friction between the second guide part and the sliding groove along the X-axis direction and avoid the sliding cooperation between the second guide part and the sliding groove from being jammed.

[0044] In the application, each sliding groove is divided into a first groove section adapted to sliding cooperation with the first guide part and a second groove section adapted to sliding cooperation with the second guide part; the first groove section and the second groove section are connected or separated along the X-axis direction, which can ensure that the first groove section and the second groove section are located on a straight line extending along the X-axis direction, which is beneficial to more effectively guide the movement of the moving contact group along the X-axis direction.

[0045] In the application, the size of the first matching gap formed between the first guide part and the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction is different from the size of the second matching gap formed between the second guide part and the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of establishing the sliding matching gap between the first guide part, the second guide part and the sliding groove, reduce the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part and the fixed part, and is also beneficial to correctly guide the movement of the movable contact part along the Y-axis direction. This is because if both the first matching gap and the second matching gap are small, the manufacturing precision requirement of the pusher and the limiting piece fixed to each other is high, and the matching precision requirement of the shell and the cover is also high, otherwise the first guide part or the second guide part may not be inserted into the sliding groove, so that the first guide part and the second guide part cannot establish the sliding matching relationship with the sliding groove; if both the first matching gap and the second matching gap are large, the sliding matching between the accommodating piece and the guide part cannot correctly guide the movement of the movable contact part along the X-axis direction, and the movable contact part may be deflected in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the first matching gap is different from the second matching gap, which can not only reduce the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part and the fixed part due to the existence of the relatively large matching gap, but also can correctly guide the movement of the movable contact part along the Y-axis direction due to the existence of the relatively small matching gap.

[0046] In the application, the first matching gap is smaller than the second matching gap. Because the first guide part is closer to the movable contact piece group along the X-axis direction, on the basis of being able to reduce the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part and the fixed part, compared with the scheme that the first matching gap is larger than the second matching gap, the movable contact piece can be better guided to move along the X-axis direction, so that the movable contact point correctly contacts the static contact point along the X-axis direction, reduces the contact resistance between the movable contact point and the static contact point, and also shortens the time length of the electric arc when the movable contact point and the static contact point are disconnected, which is beneficial to increase the service life of the movable contact point and the static contact point.

[0047] Compared with the swing type magnetic latching relay in the prior art, the two armatures fixed to the permanent magnet in the armature assembly are improved from parallel arrangement to crossing each other, so that the armature assembly can be converted from swing relative to the coil assembly to linear motion relative to the coil assembly. Because the armature assembly moves linearly relative to the coil assembly, there is no loss of the radial component of the swing stroke of the swing type magnetic latching relay. Therefore, the space utilization rate of the relay can be higher, which can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact piece group and the static contact piece group in a limited space.

[0048] In the application, two armatures in the armature assembly are improved to cross each other on the basis of the coil assembly of the swing type magnetic latching relay, so that a first part of the magnetic circuit without any air gap can be formed between the two attracting parts of the armature assembly through the permanent magnet and the two armatures, and a second part of the magnetic circuit can also be formed between the two magnetic driving ends of the coil assembly through the whole coil assembly. In the magnetic latching state, the attracting parts attract the corresponding magnetic driving ends along the X axis direction, so that the first part and the second part can form a complete magnetic circuit without air gap, thus the magnetic loss is small, the magnetic efficiency is higher, and the movement stroke of the movable contact group can be increased without increasing the power consumption of the coil assembly; and in the case of equivalent magnetic driving force, the power consumption required for the coil assembly to realize magnetic driving can be reduced, and the size of the coil assembly can be made smaller. Therefore, more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group and the static contact group in a limited space.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0079] In the claims and the specification, the terms "X-axis direction", "Y-axis direction" and "Z-axis direction" only mean that the features with one of the above directions are perpendicular to the features with another direction, and do not require that they must be implemented according to the "X-axis direction", "Y-axis direction" and "Z-axis direction" introduced in the embodiments. In the embodiments, the X-axis direction is perpendicular to the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. The X-axis direction can be divided into front and back, and the left side is front and the right side is back in the specification FIG. 23. The X-axis direction can also be divided into closing direction and opening direction.

The opening direction means the movement direction when the moving contact group moves to the open state with the stationary contact group, that is, the direction from front to back, which is the direction from left to right in the specification FIG. 23. The Y-axis direction can be divided into left and right, and the upper side is left and the lower side is right in the specification FIG. 23. The Z-axis direction can be divided into up and down.

[0080] In the claims and the specification, unless otherwise defined, the terms "first", "second" or "third" and the like are intended to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a particular order.

[0081] In the claims and the specification, unless otherwise defined, the terms "fixedly connected", "fixedly connected" or "relatively fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection mode between the two without displacement relationship and relative rotation relationship, that is, it includes non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integration and fixed connection through other devices or elements.

[0082] In the claims and the specification, unless otherwise defined, the terms "include", "have" and their variants mean "include but not limited to".

[0099] Referring to FIG. 7, the magnetic circuit portion 3 in this embodiment is shown. As shown in FIG. 7, the magnetic circuit portion 3 includes a coil assembly 37, an armature assembly 38, and a shield cover 39.

[0100] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the coil assembly 37 in the present embodiment is shown. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the coil assembly 37 comprises a coil frame 40, a coil winding 41, signal input terminals 42, a core 43 and yokes 44. The coil frame 40 is fixed to the housing 10. The coil frame 40 extends along the Y-axis direction and is provided with a central hole extending along the Y-axis direction. The two ends of the coil frame 40 along the Y-axis direction are respectively provided with a retaining wall. The coil winding 41 is wound on the coil frame 40 and located between the two retaining walls. The axis of the coil winding 41 extends along the Y-axis direction. The two wire ends of the coil winding 41 are connected to the three signal input terminals 42, which are used to receive pulse electrical signals. The core 43 is placed in the central hole of the coil frame 40 and extends along the Y-axis direction. The number of yokes 44 is two. The two yokes 44 are respectively fixed to the two sides of the core 43 along the Y-axis direction, and the ends of the two yokes 44 away from the core 43 respectively form magnetic driving ends 45. The two magnetic driving ends 45 are arranged along the Y-axis direction and extend close to each other along the Y-axis direction. The two yokes 44 are respectively a first yoke 46 and a second yoke 47. The two magnetic driving ends 45 are respectively a first magnetic driving end 48 and a second magnetic driving end 49. The first magnetic driving end 48 is formed on the first yoke 46, and the second magnetic driving end 49 is formed on the second yoke 47. The coil winding 41 is excited by the pulse electrical signal to reverse the polarity temporarily formed by the two magnetic driving ends 45, so as to switch different parts of the two armatures 51 of the armature assembly 38 and drive the armature assembly 38 to move along the X-axis direction. In the present embodiment, for the convenience of introduction, it is assumed that when the signal input terminals 42 receive a first pulse electrical signal, the coil winding 41 generates a first magnetic field, and the first magnetic driving end 48 temporarily has N-pole polarity, and the second magnetic driving end 49 temporarily has S-pole polarity. After the first pulse electrical signal disappears, the first magnetic field of the coil winding 41 disappears, and the first magnetic driving end 48 and the second magnetic driving end 49 no longer have the polarity generated based on the first magnetic field; when the signal input terminals 42 receive a second pulse electrical signal with current direction opposite to that of the first pulse electrical signal, the coil winding 41 generates a second magnetic field, and the polarity of the first magnetic driving end 48 reverses to have S-pole polarity, and the polarity of the second magnetic driving end 49 reverses to have N-pole polarity. After the second pulse electrical signal disappears, the second magnetic field of the coil winding 41 disappears, and the first magnetic driving end 48 and the second magnetic driving end 49 no longer have the polarity generated based on the second magnetic field. The "temporarily formed" in the present embodiment refers to the polarity of the magnetic driving end 45 formed by the pulse electrical signal disappearing with the disappearance of the pulse electrical signal. The "reversal" in the present embodiment refers to that when the coil winding 41 receives a pulse electrical signal this time and the current direction of the pulse electrical signal is different from that of the pulse electrical signal received last time, the polarity of the magnetic driving end 45 temporarily formed this time is opposite to that of the magnetic driving end 45 temporarily formed last time.

[0101] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the armature assembly 38 in the embodiment is shown. The armature assembly 38 is driven by the coil assembly 37 to move along the X-axis direction between a first position and a second position. When the armature assembly 38 moves to the first position, the relay 1 is in an off state, and the external circuit is turned off. When the armature assembly 38 moves to the second position, the relay 1 is in an on state, and the external circuit is turned on. The first position is further along the X-axis direction than the second position. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in the embodiment, the armature assembly 38 includes two permanent magnets 50 and two armatures 51. The two permanent magnets 50 are formed by magnetized magnetic steel, and in other embodiments, the two permanent magnets 50 can also use other permanent magnet materials, such as neodymium iron boron permanent magnets. In the embodiment, the two permanent magnets 50 are a first permanent magnet 52 and a second permanent magnet 53, respectively. Each permanent magnet 50 is provided with two magnetic poles 54 with fixed polarity, and the two magnetic poles 54 are a first magnetic pole 55 and a second magnetic pole 56, respectively. The first magnetic pole 55 and the second magnetic pole 56 have opposite polarities. For the convenience of introduction, it is assumed that the polarity of the first magnetic pole 55 is N-pole, and the polarity of the second magnetic pole 56 is S-pole. In the embodiment, the two magnetic poles 54 of each permanent magnet 50 are arranged along the X-axis direction. In the embodiment, the two permanent magnets 50 are arranged along the Y-axis direction. The first permanent magnet 52 is on the left along the Y-axis direction, and the second permanent magnet 53 is on the right along the Y-axis direction. The first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52 is in front along the X-axis direction, and the second magnetic pole 56 is behind along the X-axis direction. The first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53 is behind along the X-axis direction, and the second magnetic pole 56 is in front along the X-axis direction. The two armatures 51 are a first armature 57 and a second armature 58, respectively. The first armature 57 is fixedly connected to the first magnetic poles 55 of the two permanent magnets 50. The second armature 58 is fixedly connected to the second magnetic poles 56 of the two permanent magnets 50. The projections of the two armatures 51 on a first projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction intersect each other. The portions 59 where the two armatures 51 intersect each other form a spacing W along the Z-axis direction. Each armature 51 is provided with two attracting portions 60 on both sides along the Y-axis direction, and the two attracting portions 60 are arranged along the X-axis direction. The first armature 57 is provided with a first attracting portion 61 and a second attracting portion 62 on both sides along the Y-axis direction, the first attracting portion 61 is on the left along the Y-axis direction and in front along the X-axis direction, and the second attracting portion 62 is on the right along the Y-axis direction and behind along the X-axis direction. The second armature 58 is provided with a third attracting portion 63 and a fourth attracting portion 64 on both sides along the Y-axis direction, the third attracting portion 63 is on the right along the Y-axis direction and in front along the X-axis direction, and the fourth attracting portion 64 is on the left along the Y-axis direction and behind along the X-axis direction. Therefore, in the embodiment, the first attracting portion 61 and the third attracting portion 63 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, the fourth attracting portion 64 and the second attracting portion 62 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, the first attracting portion 61 and the fourth attracting portion 64 are arranged along the X-axis direction, and the third attracting portion 63 and the second attracting portion 62 are arranged along the X-axis direction.In this embodiment, the projection of the armature assembly 38 on the first projection plane is mirror symmetrical relative to the symmetry plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, FIG. 7 and FIG. 11 show the shield 39 in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the shield 39 comprises a first shield 65 and a second shield 66. The first shield 65 and the second shield 66 are inserted and fitted to form the shield 39. The shield 39 is provided with two walls 67 and a connecting wall 68. Each wall 67 is provided with a groove 69 at the front end thereof along the X-axis direction, and the groove 69 extends along the X-axis direction and is located at the middle of the wall 67 along the Y-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the two walls 67 are both perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. The two walls 67 are arranged above and below the coil assembly 37 along the Z-axis direction. The connecting wall 68 is perpendicular to the X-axis direction and is used to connect the two walls 67. The connecting wall 68 is arranged behind the coil assembly 37 along the X-axis direction.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 12 to FIG. 17, FIG. 12 to FIG. 17 show the operation principle of the magnetic circuit part 3 in this embodiment.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, the armature assembly 38 is located between the arms of the two yokes 44 extending along the X-axis direction along the Y-axis direction. The first magnetic driving end 48 is located between the first attraction part 61 and the fourth attraction part 64 along the X-axis direction; the second magnetic driving end 49 is located between the third attraction part 63 and the second attraction part 62 along the X-axis direction.

[0105] Fig. 12 shows the state of the magnetic circuit portion 3 when the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state at the first position in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 12, when the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state at the first position, the first attraction portion 61 attracts the first magnetic driving end 48, and the third attraction portion 63 attracts the second magnetic driving end 49. At this time, the magnetic circuit portion 3 forms two closed magnetic circuits, i.e., a first closed magnetic circuit and a second closed magnetic circuit. The first closed magnetic circuit passes from the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, through the first attraction portion 61, the first magnetic driving end 48, the first yoke 46, the core 43, the second yoke 47, the second magnetic driving end 49, the third attraction portion 63, the portion 59 where the first and second armatures 57, 58 cross each other, the second magnetic pole 56 of the first permanent magnet 52, back to the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, without any air gap in between, and through the entire coil assembly 37. The second closed magnetic circuit passes from the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, through the portion 59 where the first and second armatures 57, 58 cross each other, the first attraction portion 61, the first magnetic driving end 48, the first yoke 46, the core 43, the second yoke 47, the second magnetic driving end 49, the third attraction portion 63, the second magnetic pole 56 of the second permanent magnet 53, back to the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, without any air gap in between, and through the entire coil assembly 37. Therefore, when the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state at the first position, due to the existence of the first and second closed magnetic circuits and the superposition effect between them, a greater magnetic attraction force is generated between the first attraction portion 61 and the first magnetic driving end 48, and between the third attraction portion 63 and the second magnetic driving end 49, so that the armature assembly 38 is held at the first position relative to the coil assembly 37.

[0106] Fig. 13 shows the state of the magnetic circuit part 3 when the coil assembly 37 just receives the first pulse electric signal in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 13, at this time, the coil winding 41 is excited by the first pulse electric signal to generate the first magnetic field, so that the first magnetic driving end 48 temporarily has the N-pole polarity and the second magnetic driving end 49 temporarily has the S-pole polarity. Since the first magnetic driving end 48 and the first attraction part 61 have the same N-pole polarity, the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the first attraction part 61. Since the second magnetic driving end 49 and the third attraction part 63 have the same S-pole polarity, the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the third attraction part 63. In addition, the magnetic circuit part 3 at this time forms two push magnetic circuits, i.e. a first push magnetic circuit and a second push magnetic circuit. The first push magnetic circuit passes through the entire coil assembly 37 from the first magnetic driving end 48, through the stroke air gap, the fourth attraction part 64, the second magnetic pole 56 of the first permanent magnet 52, the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, the portion 59 where the first armature 57 intersects with each other, the second attraction part 62, the stroke air gap, the second magnetic driving end 49, the second yoke 47, the core 43, the first yoke 46, and returns to the first magnetic driving end 48, with only two stroke air gaps in the middle. The second push magnetic circuit also passes through the entire coil assembly 37 from the first magnetic driving end 48, through the stroke air gap, the fourth attraction part 64, the portion 59 where the second armature 58 intersects with each other, the second magnetic pole 56 of the second permanent magnet 53, the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, the second attraction part 62, the stroke air gap, the second magnetic driving end 49, the second yoke 47, the core 43, the first yoke 46, and returns to the first magnetic driving end 48, with only two stroke air gaps in the middle. Therefore, when the coil assembly 37 just receives the first pulse electric signal, not only the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the first attraction part 61 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the third attraction part 63, but also the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic attraction force to the fourth attraction part 64 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic attraction force to the second attraction part 62 due to the existence of the first push magnetic circuit and the second push magnetic circuit and the superposition effect between them, so that the coil assembly 37 can generate a stronger pushing force to the armature assembly 38 to push the armature assembly 38 to move from the first position to the second position along the closing direction X1.

[0107] Fig. 14 shows the state of the magnetic circuit part 3 when the armature assembly 38 is driven by the coil assembly 37 to move to the second position in the closing direction X1 in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 14, when the armature assembly 38 just moves to the second position, the first pulse electric signal and the first magnetic field have not disappeared yet, the first magnetic driving end 48 still temporarily has the N-pole polarity, and the second magnetic driving end 49 still temporarily has the S-pole polarity. At this time, the magnetic circuit part 3 forms two closed magnetic circuits, i.e., a third closed magnetic circuit and a fourth closed magnetic circuit. The third closed magnetic circuit is from the first magnetic driving end 48, through the fourth attraction portion 64, the second magnetic pole 56 of the first permanent magnet 52, the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, the portion 59 where the first armature 57 intersects with each other, the second attraction portion 62, the second magnetic driving end 49, the second yoke 47, the core 43, the first yoke 46, back to the first magnetic driving end 48, without any air gap in the middle, and passes through the entire coil assembly 37. The fourth closed magnetic circuit is from the first magnetic driving end 48, through the fourth attraction portion 64, the portion 59 where the second armature 58 intersects with each other, the second magnetic pole 56 of the second permanent magnet 53, the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, the second attraction portion 62, the second magnetic driving end 49, the second yoke 47, the core 43, the first yoke 46, back to the first magnetic driving end 48, without any air gap in the middle, and passes through the entire coil assembly 37. Therefore, when the armature assembly 38 just moves to the second position, due to the existence of the third closed magnetic circuit and the fourth closed magnetic circuit and the superposition effect between the two, a greater magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic driving end 48 and the fourth attraction portion 64 and between the second magnetic driving end 49 and the second attraction portion 62.

[0108] Fig. 15 shows the state of the magnetic circuit part 3 when the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state at the second position in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 15, when the first pulse electric signal disappears, the first magnetic field disappears, and the first magnetic driving end 48 and the second magnetic driving end 49 no longer have the polarity generated by the first magnetic field. At this time, the third closed magnetic circuit and the fourth closed magnetic circuit described above still exist, wherein the third closed magnetic circuit can be regarded as starting from the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, and its path is the same as that of the third closed magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 14; the fourth closed magnetic circuit can be regarded as starting from the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, and its path is the same as that of the fourth closed magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 14. And the third closed magnetic circuit and the fourth closed magnetic circuit superimpose on each other, so that a greater magnetic attraction force is generated between the fourth attraction portion 64 and the first magnetic driving end 48 and between the second attraction portion 62 and the second magnetic driving end 49, and the armature assembly 38 is kept at the second position relative to the coil assembly 37.

[0109] Fig. 16 shows the state of the magnetic circuit part 3 when the coil assembly 37 just receives the second pulse electric signal in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 16, at this time, the coil winding 41 is excited by the second pulse electric signal to generate the second magnetic field, so that the first magnetic driving end 48 temporarily has the S-pole polarity and the second magnetic driving end 49 temporarily has the N-pole polarity. Since the first magnetic driving end 48 and the fourth attraction part 64 have the same S-pole polarity, the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the fourth attraction part 64; since the second magnetic driving end 49 and the second attraction part 62 have the same N-pole polarity, the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the second attraction part 62. In addition, the magnetic circuit part 3 at this time forms two push magnetic circuits, i.e. the third push magnetic circuit and the fourth push magnetic circuit. The third push magnetic circuit passes through the entire coil assembly 37 from the second magnetic driving end 49, through the stroke air gap, the third attraction part 63, the portion 59 where the second armature 58 intersects with each other, the second magnetic pole 56 of the first permanent magnet 52, the first magnetic pole 55 of the first permanent magnet 52, the first attraction part 61, the stroke air gap, the first magnetic driving end 48, the first yoke 46, the core 43, the second yoke 47, and returns to the second magnetic driving end 49, with only two stroke air gaps in the middle. The fourth push magnetic circuit also passes through the entire coil assembly 37 from the second magnetic driving end 49, through the stroke air gap, the third attraction part 63, the second magnetic pole 56 of the second permanent magnet 53, the first magnetic pole 55 of the second permanent magnet 53, the portion 59 where the first armature 57 intersects with each other, the first attraction part 61, the stroke air gap, the first magnetic driving end 48, the first yoke 46, the core 43, the second yoke 47, and returns to the second magnetic driving end 49, with only two stroke air gaps in the middle. Therefore, when the coil assembly 37 just receives the second pulse electric signal, not only the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the fourth attraction part 64 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the second attraction part 62, but also due to the existence of the third push magnetic circuit and the fourth push magnetic circuit, and the superposition effect between the two, the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic attraction force to the first attraction part 61 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic attraction force to the third attraction part 63, so that the coil assembly 37 can form a stronger pushing force to the armature assembly 38 to push the armature assembly 38 to move from the second position to the first position along the breaking direction X2.

[0110] Fig. 17 shows the state of the magnetic circuit part 3 when the armature assembly 38 is driven by the coil assembly 37 to move in the breaking direction X2 to the first position in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 17, when the armature assembly 38 just moves to the first position, the second pulse electric signal and the second magnetic field have not disappeared yet, the first magnetic driving end 48 still temporarily has the S-pole polarity, and the second magnetic driving end 49 still temporarily has the S-pole polarity. At this time, the magnetic circuit part 3 still has the first closed magnetic circuit and the second closed magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 12, wherein the first closed magnetic circuit can be regarded as starting from the second magnetic driving end 49 and having the same path as that of the first closed magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 12, and the second closed magnetic circuit can be regarded as starting from the second magnetic driving end 49 and having the same path as that of the second closed magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 12. Therefore, when the armature assembly 38 just moves to the first position, due to the existence of the first closed magnetic circuit and the second closed magnetic circuit and the superposition effect between them, a greater magnetic attraction force is generated between the first magnetic driving end 48 and the first attraction part 61 and between the second magnetic driving end 49 and the third attraction part 63.

[0111] When the second pulse electric signal disappears, the second magnetic field disappears, and the first magnetic driving end 48 and the second magnetic driving end 49 no longer have the polarity generated by the second magnetic field. At this time, the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state at the first position as shown in Fig. 12.

The eighth overcurrent part 34 is located along the Y-axis direction outside the movable contact group 72, and also outside the right barrier 9. The static flux guide 8 is inserted into the static flux guide slot 16 and fixed to the accommodating member 6. The first static contact point 25 and the second static contact point 33 are respectively located along the Y-axis direction on both sides of the static flux guide 8.

The static flux guide 8 is oppositely arranged along the X-axis direction to the movable flux guide group 73. The static flux guide 8 is located along the X-axis direction between the third overcurrent part 27 and the movable flux guide group 73. In other embodiments, the static flux guide 8 can also be fixed relative to the limiting member 76 to play the same role. The two barriers 9 are respectively inserted into the corresponding barrier slots 17 and fixed to the accommodating member 6, so that the two barriers 9 are located along the Y-axis direction outside the static contact group 7. The first magnetic driving end 48 is located along the X-axis direction between the first attraction part 61 and the fourth attraction part 64. The second magnetic driving end 49 is located along the X-axis direction between the third attraction part 63 and the second attraction part 62. Each first movable contact point 88 is oppositely arranged along the X-axis direction to the corresponding first static contact point 25, and each second movable contact point 89 is oppositely arranged along the X-axis direction to the corresponding second static contact point 33.

[0123] As shown in FIG. 26, the shell 10 and the cover 11 are fixed to form the accommodating member 6. The shielding cover 39 is placed in the accommodating member 6. The first guide part 103 located at the upper part along the Z-axis direction extends into the first slot section 14 of the slide groove 13 of the cover 11 along the Z-axis direction. The second guide part 78 located at the upper part along the Z-axis direction extends into the second slot section 15 of the slide groove 13 of the cover 11 along the Z-axis direction. The first guide part 103 located at the lower part along the Z-axis direction extends into the first slot section 14 of the slide groove 13 of the shell 10 along the Z-axis direction. The second guide part 78 located at the lower part along the Z-axis direction extends into the second slot section 15 of the slide groove 13 of the shell 10 along the Z-axis direction. Thus, each guide part 109 extends into the corresponding slide groove 13 along the Z-axis direction and is in sliding fit with the slide groove 13 along the X-axis direction. In the embodiment, the size of the first fit gap along the Y-axis direction between the first guide part 103 and the first slot section 14 is different from the size of the second fit gap along the Y-axis direction between the second guide part 78 and the second slot section 15. The first fit gap is smaller than the second fit gap. In the embodiment, the guide parts 109 are arranged on the movable contact part 4, and the slide grooves 13 are arranged on the accommodating member 6. In other embodiments, the guide parts 109 can be arranged on the accommodating member 6, and the slide grooves 13 can be arranged on the movable contact part 4.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 23, FIG. 23 shows the state of the relay 1 when the armature assembly 38 is located at the first position. As shown in FIG. 23, when the armature assembly 38 is located at the first position, the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 are disconnected along the disconnecting direction X2, the relay 1 is in the off state, and the external circuit is disconnected. At this time, the elastic member 75 is in abutment against the abutment surface 18 along the disconnecting direction X2, the elastic member 75 is deformed to store energy. The limiting member 76 abuts against the movable contact group 72 along the disconnecting direction X2, each movable contact 85 is in abutment against the elastic support group 74, and the support body 94 of the elastic support 93 and the main body 98 of the elastic member 75 are relatively pushed against the fixing part 70 along the X-axis direction, so that the support body 94 and the elastic member 75 are fixed relative to the fixing part 70. The movable spring 83 abuts against the two stationary contact terminals 110, and the relay state sensing circuit senses that the relay 1 is in the off state.

[0125] When the coil assembly 37 drives the armature assembly 38 to move along the closing direction X1 after the coil winding 41 receives the first pulse electric signal, the armature assembly 38 drives the movable contact part 4 to move along the closing direction X1, in the process, the guide part 109 slides in the slide groove 13 along the closing direction X1 and guides the movable contact part 4. The elastic member 75 restores the deformation to release the energy. When the movable contact 87 abuts against the corresponding stationary contact 20, the fixing part 70 enters the overstroke, at this time, the elastic support group 74 is deformed to store energy, until the armature assembly 38 reaches the second position, the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 are closed.

[0126] Referring to FIG. 24 and FIG. 26, FIG. 24 and FIG. 26 show the state of the relay 1 when the armature assembly 38 is in the second position. As shown in FIG. 24, when the armature assembly 38 is in the second position, the movable contact group 72 is closed with the stationary contact group 7 in the closing direction X1, the relay 1 is in the on state, and the external circuit is turned on. The third overcurrent portion 27 of the first stationary contact 22 forms a reverse flow portion, and the overcurrent direction of the reverse flow portion is opposite to the overcurrent direction of the overcurrent bridge 86. The eighth overcurrent portion 34 of the second stationary contact 23 forms a cross flow portion, and the overcurrent direction of the cross flow portion is the opening direction X2 when the overcurrent direction of the overcurrent bridge 86 is along the Y-axis direction to the right and the cross flow portion is located on the right side of the overcurrent bridge 86. The magnetic field formed by the current passing through the cross flow portion acts on the overcurrent bridge 86 with current passing through, so that the overcurrent bridge 86 is subjected to the first magnetic force F1 towards the stationary contact group 7. The elastic support group 74 deforms and stores energy along the X-axis direction. The elastic member 75 is away from the abutting surface 18 along the X-axis direction. The movable spring 83 is away from the two stationary contact terminals 110, and the relay state sensing circuit senses that the relay 1 is in the on state. As shown in FIG. 26, the current passing through the overcurrent bridge 86 forms an anti-short circuit magnetic loop M1 between the movable magnetic conductor 90 and the stationary magnetic conductor 8. In this embodiment, the number of anti-short circuit magnetic loops M1 is two. At the same time, the reverse flow magnetic field M2 formed by the current passing through the reverse flow portion formed by the third overcurrent portion 27 is in the same direction as the magnetic induction line formed by the anti-short circuit magnetic loop M1 on one side of the stationary magnetic conductor 8.

[0127] When the coil assembly 37 drives the armature assembly 38 to move in the opening direction X2 after the coil winding 41 receives the second pulse electrical signal, the armature assembly 38 drives the movable contact part 4 to move in the opening direction X2. In this process, the guide portion 109 slides in the sliding groove 13 in the opening direction X2 and guides the movable contact part 4. The elastic support group 74 recovers the deformation and releases the energy. The elastic member 75 deforms and stores energy after abutting against the abutting surface 18. Until it returns to the state shown in FIG. 23 that the armature assembly 38 is in the first position.

[0128] In this embodiment, the stationary contact points 20 of the two stationary contacts 19 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the movable contact group 72 is closed or opened with the stationary contact group 7 along the X-axis direction to correspondingly turn on or off the electrical connection between the two stationary contacts 19. Under this structure, the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 is twice the actual distance between the movable contact 87 and the corresponding stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, so that the relay 1 has higher safety and stronger load capacity, and is more conducive to improving the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7.

[0129] In the embodiment, the static contact 20 of the two static contact pieces 19 is arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the connecting terminal 21 of the two static contact pieces 19 is arranged along the X-axis direction and extends out of the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction. Compared with the static contact piece 19 extending out of the accommodating member 6 along the movement direction of the moving contact piece group 72, the size in the X-axis direction is shortened, and the space in the Y-axis direction is effectively utilized. Therefore, the size of the relay 1 in the X-axis direction and the size in the Y-axis direction are well balanced, which can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact piece group 72 and the static contact piece group 7 in a limited space.

[0130] In the embodiment, on the basis of retaining the coil assembly of the swing type magnetic latching relay, the two armatures 51 fixed with the permanent magnet 50 in the armature assembly 38 are improved from parallel arrangement to cross each other, so that the armature assembly 38 is converted from swing relative to the coil assembly 37 to linear motion relative to the coil assembly 37. Since the armature assembly 38 moves linearly relative to the coil assembly 37, there is no loss of the radial component of the swing stroke of the swing type magnetic latching relay. Therefore, the space utilization rate of the relay 1 can be higher, which can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact piece group 72 and the static contact piece group 7 in a limited space.

[0131] In the embodiment, since the axis of the coil winding 41 extends along the Y-axis direction and the two magnetic driving ends 45 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the linear motion direction of the armature assembly 38 is the X-axis direction perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, such layout is beneficial to leaving space for the movement of the armature assembly 38 and the moving contact piece group 72 along the X-axis direction. At this time, the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction is mainly determined by the length of the coil assembly 37 along the Y-axis direction, so that the relay 1 does not need to have a long length in one direction (whether the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction), which can make the relay 1 more easily adapt to limited space, and can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact piece group 72 and the static contact piece group 7 in a limited space.

[0132] In the embodiment, the push rod and the moving iron core do not need to be arranged in the coil winding 41, so that the support shaft diameter of the coil frame 40 is smaller, and the inner diameter of the coil winding 41 is smaller. Compared with the direct-acting type magnetic latching relay in the prior art, when the space occupied by the coil assembly 37 is the same, the magnetic driving force generated by the coil winding 41 is stronger, and the pushing force on the armature assembly 38 is larger, which can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact piece group 72 and the static contact piece group 7 in a limited space.

[0133] In the embodiment, the two attracting portions 60 of the armature assembly 38 can form a first part of the magnetic circuit without any air gap through the permanent magnet 50 and the two armatures 51, and the two magnetic driving ends 45 of the coil assembly 37 can also form a second part of the magnetic circuit through the entire coil assembly 37. In the magnetic holding state, the attracting portions 60 attract the corresponding magnetic driving ends 45 along the X-axis direction, so that the first part and the second part can form a complete magnetic circuit without any air gap, thus the magnetic loss is small, the magnetic efficiency is higher, and the movement stroke of the movable contact set 72 can be increased without increasing the power consumption of the coil assembly 37; and in the case of equivalent magnetic driving force, the power consumption required for the coil assembly 37 to achieve magnetic driving can be reduced, which is conducive to making the size of the coil assembly 37 smaller. Therefore, more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact set 72 and the static contact set 7 in a limited space.

[0134] In the embodiment, since the second part of the magnetic circuit passes through the entire coil assembly 37, compared with the direct-acting magnetic latching relay in the prior art, the magnetic acting force in the magnetic holding state is larger, and in particular, when the relay 1 is subjected to a fault large current impact, the armature assembly 38 is less likely to move out of the magnetic holding state, which is conducive to avoiding the destructive arc drawn by the movable contact set 72 from the static contact set 7 due to the fault large current.

[0135] In the embodiment, when the coil assembly 37 is excited by a pulse electric signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends 45 temporarily formed in the first position, the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state, not only the two magnetic driving ends 45 generate magnetic repulsion on the first attracting portion 61 and the third attracting portion 63, but also the first part of the pushing magnetic circuit without any air gap is formed between the fourth attracting portion 64 and the second attracting portion 62 through the armature assembly 38, and the second part of the pushing magnetic circuit through the entire coil assembly 37 is formed by the two magnetic driving ends 45 through the coil assembly 37, the first part and the second part of the pushing magnetic circuit constitute a complete pushing magnetic circuit, which only has a certain travel air gap and no other air gap, thus the magnetic efficiency is higher, and the magnetic driving force of the two magnetic driving ends 45 acting on the armature assembly 38 is stronger under the same power consumption, which is more conducive to increasing the safety distance between the movable contact set 72 and the static contact set 7. Similarly, when the coil assembly 37 is excited by a pulse electric signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends 45 temporarily formed in the second position, the armature assembly 38 is in the magnetic holding state, and also has the same technical effects.

[0136] In the embodiment, the first suction part 61 and the fourth suction part 64 are arranged along the X-axis direction, the third suction part 63 and the second suction part 62 are arranged along the X-axis direction, the first suction part 61 and the third suction part 63 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the fourth suction part 64 and the second suction part 62 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, so that the four suction parts 60 of the armature assembly 38 are respectively located at the four vertex positions of the rectangle in the first projection plane, facilitating adjustment of the size of the armature assembly 38 along the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and creating more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0137] In the embodiment, the permanent magnets 50 are arranged on the two sides of the portion 59 intersecting with each other along the Y-axis direction, and the two magnetic poles 54 of the permanent magnets 50 are arranged along the X-axis direction, so that the magnetic driving end 45 and the armature assembly 38 are effectively utilized without increasing the size of the armature assembly 38 along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, which is more conducive to increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7. Since each permanent magnet 50 is connected together by two armatures 51, the difference in strength of the magnetic field of each permanent magnet 50 is effectively weakened on the two armatures 51, and the magnetic thrust force between the suction parts 60 on the two sides and the magnetic driving end 45 is more balanced along the X-axis direction, so that the relay 1 is less likely to jam and has a longer service life.

[0138] In the embodiment, the projection of the armature assembly 38 on the first projection plane is mirror-symmetrical along the symmetry plane perpendicular to the Y-axis, so that the consistency of the magnetic field strength on the two sides of the armature assembly 38 along the Y-axis direction is better, and the center of gravity is more easily kept on the symmetry plane, the linear motion of the armature assembly 38 is less likely to be skewed, the relay 1 is less likely to jam and has a longer service life, the magnetic driving force is less likely to be wasted on useless work, and more favorable conditions are created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0139] In the embodiment, the two movable contact points 87 of the movable contact 85 are arranged along the Y-axis direction and fixed to the overcurrent bridge 86 extending along the Y-axis direction, so that the current passing through the overcurrent bridge 86 flows along the Y-axis direction, facilitating the formation of a magnetic loop for resisting short circuit, and the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop is used to make the movable contact group 72 more reliably closed with the static contact group 7, which is conducive to avoiding the movable contact group 72 from being separated from the static contact group 7 when the relay 1 bears a fault current, thereby avoiding destructive arc drawing to cause damage to the relay 1.

[0140] In the embodiment, the number of the movable contacts 85 in the movable contact group 72 is more than two, and each movable contact 85 is arranged along the Z-axis direction, so that when the movable contact group 72 and the fixed contact group 7 are closed, each movable contact 85 is in parallel with each other, which can increase the load capacity of the relay 1 and reduce the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the fixed contact 20. At the same time, in combination with the technical means that the overcurrent bridge 86 extends along the Y-axis direction and the technical means that the movable contact 85 moves along the X-axis direction, the relay 1 can make more full use of the space in each direction, and the structure is more compact, which creates more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the fixed contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0141] In the embodiment, the connecting terminal 21 of at least one fixed contact 19 is arranged between the fixed contact 20 and the coil winding 41 along the X-axis direction, which increases the distance between the two connecting terminals 21 along the X-axis direction, makes the two fixed contacts 19 less likely to be short-circuited, and can meet the needs of installing an external transformer.

[0142] In the embodiment, the eighth overcurrent part 34 of the second fixed contact 23 forms a cross-flow part, which is located outside the movable contact group 72 along the Y-axis direction and is connected to the connecting terminal 21 in the opening direction. The magnetic field generated by the current of the cross-flow part acts on the overcurrent bridge 86 in the Y-axis direction, which generates a magnetic force on the overcurrent bridge 86 towards the fixed contact group 7. This magnetic force makes the movable contact group 72 more reliably closed with the fixed contact group 7. Since the magnetic force increases with the increase of current, when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the movable contact group 72 from the fixed contact group 7, so as to avoid the destructive pull arc causing damage to the relay 1.

[0143] In the embodiment, the movable magnetic conductor group 73 and the fixed magnetic conductor 8 form an anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 when the overcurrent bridge 86 flows along the Y-axis direction, so that the movable magnetic conductor group 73 and the movable contact group 72 are subjected to a magnetic force in the closing direction, which makes the movable contact group 72 more reliably closed with the fixed contact group 7. Since the magnetic force increases with the increase of current, when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the movable contact group 72 from the fixed contact group 7, so as to avoid the destructive pull arc causing damage to the relay 1.

[0144] In the embodiment, the moving magnetic conductor 90 is arranged corresponding to the moving contact 85, so that an anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 can be formed around each moving contact 85, and each moving contact 85 is less likely to be separated from the static contact group 7. The magnetic conductor body 91 is fixed to the back of the overcurrent bridge 86, so that the magnetic field generated by the overcurrent bridge 86 is mostly confined in the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop, and the magnetic efficiency is improved. The extension 92 extends from the magnetic conductor body 91 in the closing direction, so that when the moving contact group 72 is closed with the static contact group 7, the air gap between the moving magnetic conductor 90 and the static magnetic conductor 8 is smaller, the magnetic resistance of the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 is smaller, and the moving contact group 72 is less likely to be separated from the static contact group 7. Therefore, the moving contact group 72 can be more reliably closed with the static contact group 7, and when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the moving contact group 72 from being separated from the static contact group 7, so as to avoid the relay 1 from being damaged by a destructive arc.

[0145] In the embodiment, the static magnetic conductor 8 is fixed to the accommodating member 6, so that the static magnetic conductor 8 is more easily installed.

[0146] In the embodiment, the static contact 20 of each static contact 19 is located on the two sides of the static magnetic conductor 8 along the Y-axis direction, so that the magnetic force formed by the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 formed by the static magnetic conductor 8 and the moving magnetic conductor group 73 on the moving contact group 72 is more balanced along the Y-axis direction, and each moving contact 87 is less likely to be separated from the corresponding static contact 20.

[0147] In the embodiment, the overcurrent direction of the reverse flow part is opposite to the overcurrent direction of the overcurrent bridge 86, and the static magnetic conductor 8 is located between the reverse flow part and the moving magnetic conductor group 73 along the X-axis direction, so that the magnetic field generated by the reverse flow part is in the same direction as the magnetic field generated by the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 on the side where the static magnetic conductor 8 is located, the magnetic field strength of the static magnetic conductor 8 is strengthened, and the magnetic force between the static magnetic conductor 8 and the moving magnetic conductor group 73 is stronger. When the relay 1 bears a fault large current, the moving contact group 72 is less likely to be separated from the static contact group 7, so as to avoid the relay 1 from being damaged by a destructive arc.

[0148] In the embodiment, the second surface S2 is closer to the moving magnetic conductor group 73 along the X-axis direction than the first surface S1, so that the static magnetic conductor 8 is not embedded between the portions of the two static contacts 19 other than the static contact 20 along the Y-axis direction, the creepage distance between the static contact 19 and the static magnetic conductor 8 is increased, and the withstand voltage capability of the relay 1 is improved. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the distance between the two static contacts 20 along the Y-axis direction, and beneficial to reduce the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction, so as to create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0149] In the embodiment, the projections of the portions of all the static contacts 20 capable of contacting the movable contact group 72 on a second projection plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction are all located within the projection of the static magnetic conductor 8 on the second projection plane, and the surface of the static magnetic conductor 8 facing the movable magnetic conductor group 73 is closer to the movable magnetic conductor group 73 than all the static contacts 20 along the X-axis direction. Therefore, when the movable contact group 72 breaks the arc from the static contact group 7, the magnetic field generated by the two side arcs concentrates on the static magnetic conductor 8, so that the arc is not easy to spread to the two sides along the Y-axis direction, the arc escaping between the movable contact 87 and the static contact 20 can reduce the ablation of the surrounding container 6, and the service life of the relay 1 is ensured. On this basis, the distance between the two static contacts 20 along the Y-axis direction can be designed to be closer, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the container 6 along the Y-axis direction, and can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0150] In the embodiment, the two blocking pieces 9 are fixed to the container 6 and located outside the static contact group 7 along the Y-axis direction. Each blocking piece 9 extends along the X-axis direction, so that the projections of the portions of each static contact 20 capable of contacting the movable contact 87 on a second projection plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction are all located within the projection of each blocking piece 9 on the second projection plane. Therefore, when the movable contact group 72 breaks the arc from the static contact group 7, the arc will not conduct to the two side walls of the container 6 along the Y-axis direction, ensuring the insulation performance of the container 6. The blocking piece 9 is made of high-temperature-resistant insulating material, which can prevent the heat of the arc from damaging the blocking piece 9 when the load is large and the arc generates a lot of heat, avoiding the damage of the blocking piece 9, and is beneficial to improve the load capacity of the relay 1.

[0151] In the embodiment, the elastic support group 74 is arranged between the pushing piece 70 and the movable contact group 72, which can provide elastic force to the movable contact group 72 along the closing direction X1 after the pushing piece 70 experiences overtravel, so that the movable contact group 72 can be more reliably closed with the static contact group 7. When the relay 1 bears a fault current, the movable contact group 72 is less likely to be separated from the static contact group 7, thereby avoiding the damage of the relay 1 caused by destructive arc breaking. The elastic support group 74 can also generate additional repulsive force when the movable contact group 72 breaks from the static contact group 7, helping the movable contact 85 to disconnect with the static contact group 7.

[0152] In the embodiment, by arranging the limiting piece 76, the distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 when the movable contact group 72 is disconnected from the static contact group 7 can meet the design requirements.

[0153] In the embodiment, the armature assembly 38 and the pushing piece 70 are integrally formed by insert injection molding, which avoids the errors that may be generated in the assembly process of the armature assembly 38 and the pushing piece 70, and also makes the pushing piece 70 and the armature assembly 38 have higher integration and fewer parts, which is beneficial to fully utilize the limited space.

[0154] In the embodiment, the connecting piece 71 is integrally formed with the push piece 70 by insert injection molding, so that the limiting piece 76 is more easily fixed relative to the push piece 70, and the limiting piece 76 is more rigid, the limiting effect on the movable contactor group 72 is better, and the size of the relay 1 along the Y-axis direction can be saved; the two ends of the connecting piece 71 along the Z-axis direction respectively extend out of the push piece 70 to form the connecting end 84 fixed with the limiting piece 76, the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction can be saved, and more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contactor group 72 and the static contactor group 7 in a limited space.

[0155] In the embodiment, the first elastic part 95 is arranged corresponding to the movable contactor 85, and each movable contactor 85 is fixed to the corresponding first elastic part 95, so that each movable contactor 85 can adjust the posture by the relatively independent first elastic part 95, and it is more favorable for the two movable contact points 87 of the movable contactor 85 to reliably close the corresponding static contact point 20.

[0156] In the embodiment, the first elastic part 95 includes two first elastic arms 97 fixed with the overcurrent bridge 86, which is favorable for the movable contactor 85 to freely swing to adjust the posture. The positions where the two first elastic arms 97 are fixed with the back of the overcurrent bridge 86 respectively correspond to the positions of the movable contact points 87, so that the elastic force of the two first elastic arms 97 can directly act on the two movable contact points 87, and the two movable contact points 87 can be more reliably closed with the corresponding static contact point 20.

[0157] In the embodiment, the elastic piece 75 stores energy when the push piece 70 moves along the breaking direction X2 due to deformation, and releases energy when the push piece 70 moves along the closing direction X1 due to recovery of the deformation, which can better help the movable contactor group 72 to start from the breaking position and approach the static contactor group 7, and is favorable for increasing the movement stroke of the movable contactor group 72, so as to be favorable for increasing the safety distance between the movable contactor group 72 and the static contactor group 7.

[0158] In the embodiment, the main body 98 of the elastic piece 75 is in a sheet shape and is fixed relative to the push piece 70, and the second elastic arm 101 extends to both sides of the Y-axis direction and can abut against the accommodating piece 6, so that the elastic piece 75 occupies a smaller space along the X-axis direction and has good elastic deformation capability, avoiding that the compression length of the spring increases the size of the movable contact portion 4 along the X-axis direction when the spring is used as the elastic piece 75, thereby being favorable for reducing the size of the relay 1 along the X-axis direction, and thus more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contactor group 72 and the static contactor group 7 in a limited space.

[0159] In the embodiment, by arranging the micro switch 5, the on-off state of the relay 1 can be known by an external relay state sensing circuit. It is convenient to manage the relay 1.

[0160] In the embodiment, the static contact terminal 110 is located between the moving spring 83 and the coil winding 41 along the X-axis direction, which can effectively utilize the space between the pushing member 70 and the coil winding 41, avoid increasing the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction when the static contact terminal 110 is arranged outside the coil assembly 37 along the Y-axis direction, and create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in limited space. The moving spring 83 is fixed to the pushing member 70, so that the position and action of the moving spring 83 are more determined.

[0161] In the embodiment, the shielding cover 39 is arranged to compress the magnetic field of the coil assembly 37 in the iron core 43 and the yoke 44, improve the magnetic field strength between the two magnetic driving ends 45, and be beneficial to improving the magnetic efficiency and the pushing force of the magnetic circuit part 3, which can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in limited space, and also can avoid the influence of the external magnetic field on the magnetic circuit part 3.

[0162] In the embodiment, the guide part 109 extends into the sliding groove 13 along the Z-axis direction to slide with the sliding groove 13 along the X-axis direction. Since the extension direction of the part that can slide with the guide part 109 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the moving contact group 72, the part that can slide with the guide part 109 is much shorter than that in the prior art, is not easy to be deflected and deformed, and has better guiding effect than that in the prior art. On this basis, the size of the cooperation surface of the guide part 109 and the sliding groove 13 along the Y-axis direction can be shortened as much as possible to reduce the friction and the required driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3, so that the volume of the magnetic circuit part 3 can be reduced, which is beneficial to realizing the miniaturization of the relay 1.

[0163] In the embodiment, the guide part 109 is arranged in the middle along the Y-axis direction, which can save the space along the Y-axis direction compared with arranging the guide rods on both sides along the Y-axis direction, and avoid increasing the size of the relay 1 along the Y-axis direction. At the same time, the phenomenon that the moving contact part 4 is stuck during movement due to the non-parallel of the guide rods on both sides along the Y-axis direction can be avoided, the magnetic driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3 is not easy to be wasted on useless work, and thus the energy consumption of the coil assembly 37 can be reduced.

[0164] In the embodiment, the first guide part 103 is arranged on the limiting member 76, which means that the sliding groove 13 is arranged on the accommodating member 6. Since the static contact group 7 is fixed to the accommodating member 6, arranging the sliding groove 13 on the accommodating member 6 is beneficial to ensuring that the extension direction of the sliding groove 13 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the static contact points 20 of the two static contacts 19, so that the guiding of the sliding groove 13 to the guide part along the X-axis direction is more accurate.

[0165] In the embodiment, the limiting member 76 abuts against the movable contactor set 72 before the pushing member 70 moves into the overstroke in the closing direction, and when the movable contact 87 abuts against the corresponding stationary contact 20 when the pushing member 70 moves into the overstroke, the first guide part 103 is arranged on the limiting member 76, which can better guide the movable contact 85 to move along the X-axis direction, so that the movable contact 87 correctly abuts against the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, reduces the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20, shortens the time length of the electric arc drawn when the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20 are disconnected, and is beneficial to increasing the service life of the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20.

[0166] In the embodiment, the two first guide parts 103 extend into the corresponding chute 13 along the Z-axis direction and are arranged along the Z-axis direction, which can support the limiting member 76 by the side wall of the chute 13 along the Y-axis direction when the Y-axis direction is the direction of gravity, and can avoid the limiting member 76 from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensuring that the movable contact 87 correctly abuts against the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction.

[0167] In the embodiment, the first guide part 103 is located at the front part of the limiting body 102 along the closing direction X1, so that the first guide part 103 is closer to the movable contact 87 along the X-axis direction, which is more beneficial to the movable contact 87 to correctly abut against the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, reduces the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20, shortens the time length of the electric arc drawn when the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20 are disconnected, and is beneficial to increasing the service life of the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20.

[0168] In the embodiment, the projection of the first guide part 103 on the first projection plane is circular, which is beneficial to reducing the sliding friction between the first guide part 103 and the chute 13 along the X-axis direction, and can avoid the first guide part 103 and the chute 13 from being jammed.

[0169] In the embodiment, the material of the first guide part 103 is plastic, which is beneficial to avoiding the first guide part 103 from scratching the plastic material of the accommodating member 6 when the material of the first guide part 103 is metal, so that the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20 can be prevented from being affected by the scratches falling on the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20. The material of the limiting body 102 is metal, so that the rigidity is stronger and the limiting effect on the movable contactor set 72 is better. The first guide part 103 and the limiting body 102 are integrally formed by insert injection molding or are bonded or threadedly connected, the combination of the two is better, the position of the first guide part 103 along the Y-axis direction is more accurate, and the first guide part 103 can better slide along the X-axis direction with the chute 13.

[0170] In the embodiment, the first guide part 103 and the second guide part 78 cooperate with each other, which can better keep the moving contact part 4 moving along the X-axis direction by sliding along the chute 13 in the X-axis direction, and meanwhile avoid the whole formed by the pushing part 70 and the limiting part 76 fixed to each other from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensure that the moving contact point 87 correctly contacts the stationary contact point 20 along the X-axis direction.

[0171] In the embodiment, the two second guide parts 78 extend into the corresponding chute 13 from the pushing body 77 along the Z-axis direction and away from each other, which can support the pushing part along the Y-axis direction by the side wall of the chute 13 when the Y-axis direction is the direction of gravity. And it can avoid the pushing part 70 from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, which is beneficial to ensure that the moving contact point 87 correctly contacts the stationary contact point 20 along the X-axis direction.

[0172] In the embodiment, the projection of the second guide part 78 on the first projection plane is circular, which is beneficial to reduce the sliding friction between the second guide part 78 and the chute 13 along the X-axis direction and avoid the sliding cooperation between the second guide part 78 and the chute 13 from being jammed.

[0173] In the embodiment, each chute 13 is divided into a first slot segment 14 capable of sliding cooperation with the first guide part 103 and a second slot segment 15 capable of sliding cooperation with the second guide part 78; the first slot segment 14 and the second slot segment 15 are connected or separated along the X-axis direction, which can ensure that the first slot segment 14 and the second slot segment 15 are located on the straight line extending along the X-axis direction, which is beneficial to more effectively guide the movement of the moving contact part 72 along the X-axis direction.

[0174] In the embodiment, the first guiding portion 103 and the first matching gap formed between the chute 13 and the guiding portion 103 along the Y-axis direction are different from the second guiding portion 78 and the matching gap between the chute 13 and the guiding portion 78 along the Y-axis direction, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of establishing the sliding matching gap between the first guiding portion 103 and the second guiding portion 78 and the chute 13, reducing the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part 4 and the fixed part 2, and correctly guiding the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the Y-axis direction. This is because, if the first matching gap and the second matching gap are both small, the manufacturing precision requirement of the pusher 70 and the limiting piece 76 fixed to each other is high, and the matching precision requirement of the housing 10 and the cover 11 is also high, otherwise the first guiding portion 103 or the second guiding portion 78 cannot be inserted into the chute 13, so that the first guiding portion 103 and the second guiding portion 78 cannot establish the sliding matching relationship with the chute 13; if the first matching gap and the second matching gap are both large, the sliding matching between the accommodating piece 6 and the guiding portion 109 cannot correctly guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction, and the movable contact part 4 can be deflected in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the first matching gap is different from the second matching gap, which can not only reduce the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part 4 and the fixed part 2 due to the existence of the relatively large matching gap, but also correctly guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the Y-axis direction due to the existence of the relatively small matching gap.

[0175] In the embodiment, the first matching gap is smaller than the second matching gap. Since the first guiding portion 103 is closer to the movable contact group 72 along the X-axis direction, on the basis of being able to reduce the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part 4 and the fixed part 2, compared with the scheme that the first matching gap is larger than the second matching gap, the movable contact 85 can be better guided to move along the X-axis direction, so that the movable contact point 87 correctly abuts against the stationary contact point 20 along the X-axis direction, reduces the contact resistance between the movable contact point 87 and the stationary contact point 20, shortens the time length of the electric arc when the movable contact point 87 and the stationary contact point 20 are disconnected, and is conducive to increasing the service life of the movable contact point 87 and the stationary contact point 20.
