[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410725034.0, filed on June 5, 2024, and entitled “A relay and an electric meter”, 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, in particular to a relay and an electric meter. BACKGROUND

[0004] The relay in the prior art comprises a fixed part, a movable contact part and a magnetic circuit part. The fixed part comprises a housing and a stationary contact group. In an alternative configuration, the stationary contact group comprises two stationary contacts fixed to the housing and used for connecting an external circuit to a power supply and a load respectively. Each stationary contact is provided with a stationary contact point, and the stationary contact points of the two stationary contacts are arranged along the Z-axis. In this configuration, the movable contact part comprises a movable contact group, a pusher, an elastic support group and a limiting member. The pusher is generally formed by plastic injection molding to electrically isolate the magnetic circuit part and the movable contact group from each other. The movable contact group generally comprises at least one movable contact provided with an overcurrent bridge extending along the Z-axis and two movable contact points arranged along the Z-axis and fixed to the overcurrent bridge. The two movable contact points abut against the stationary contact points on the corresponding stationary contact in the closing direction and move away from the stationary contact points on the corresponding stationary contact in the opening direction, both of which are in the X-axis direction and away from each other. The pusher moves in the X-axis direction to drive the movable contact points to close or open with the stationary contact points in the X-axis direction. The elastic support group is arranged between the pusher and the movable contact group in the X-axis direction, which stores energy when the movable contact points close with the stationary contact points, and releases energy when the movable contact points open from the stationary contact points. The limiting member is fixed relative to the pusher and abuts against the movable contact in the opening direction when the movable contact points open from the stationary contact points, to limit the distance between the movable contact points and the stationary contact points. The magnetic circuit part is used to drive the pusher to move in the X-axis direction. The magnetic circuit part in the prior art generally has a magnetic holding function to reduce energy consumption. In the prior art, the magnetic circuit part with the magnetic holding function includes 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, a core and two yokes. The core is arranged in the coil winding, and the two yokes are fixed to the two ends of the core, and the ends of the two yokes away from the core form two magnetic driving ends arranged in the first direction. The armature assembly comprises a permanent magnet and two armatures, which are arranged in a H-shaped layout, and the two armatures are parallel to each other and sandwich the permanent magnet therebetween. The coil winding is excited by a pulse electrical signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends temporarily formed, so that the two magnetic driving ends attract different parts of the armature assembly in the X-axis direction and 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 in the X-axis direction through a swing arm. The straight type magnetic circuit part comprises a coil winding, a stationary core, a yoke plate, a yoke cylinder, a permanent magnet and an armature. The coil winding, the stationary 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 stationary core. The armature is generally fixed to the pusher to drive the pusher to move in 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 part of a sphere or part of a spheroid. If the moving contact and the stationary contact are misaligned with each other in the Z-axis direction and / or the Y-axis direction, the parts in contact with each other when the moving contact and the stationary contact are in contact 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 separate from the stationary contact and the position of the arc between the moving contact and the stationary contact uncertain, the arc lasts longer, and the service life of the moving contact and the stationary contact is adversely affected. To solve this problem, the relay generally has two guide rods on both sides of the moving contact part in the Z-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 is slidably connected with the guide rods in the X-axis direction. In practice, the guiding effect of the above guide structure is still not ideal. SUMMARY

[0042] According to various embodiments of the present application, an electric meter is also provided, comprising the relay of any of the above embodiments.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] In the prior art, the guide rod is in sliding fit with one of the moving contact part and the fixed part. Since the guide rod extends along the X-axis direction and the moving contact part moves along the X-axis direction, the part of the guide rod used for sliding fit is relatively long along the X-axis direction, and the length of the guide rod extending out of the moving contact part is also relatively long, which is easy to be flexed and deformed, and the guiding effect is not ideal. In the present application, the guiding part extends into the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction and is in sliding fit with the sliding groove along the X-axis direction. Since the direction in which the guiding part extends into the sliding groove is perpendicular to the movement direction of the moving contact part, the part of the guiding part used for sliding fit is much shorter than that in the prior art, and is not easy to be flexed and deformed, and the guiding effect is better than that in the prior art.

[0045] In the present application, since the guiding part extends into the sliding groove along the Y-axis direction, the size of the fit surface of the guiding part and the sliding groove can be set smaller than that in the prior art, the friction between the sliding groove and the guiding part can be reduced compared with the prior art, and the driving force required by the magnetic circuit part is smaller, so that the volume of the magnetic circuit part can be reduced, which is beneficial to realize the miniaturization of the relay.

[0046] In the present application, the outer edge of the first projection of the deviation rectifying portion on the first projection surface is a convex curve. Compared with other technical solutions, even if the first guide portion slightly deviates in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, the sliding fit between the first guide portion and the sliding groove is not prone to jamming, which is conducive to avoiding the need to increase the pushing force of the magnetic circuit part due to jamming, reducing the useless work of the magnetic circuit part, and thus reducing the power consumption of the coil assembly.

[0047] In the present application, the radius of curvature of the convex curve formed by the outer edge of the first projection is greater than half the size of the guide portion along the Z-axis direction. Not only is it conducive to avoiding jamming in the sliding fit between the first guide portion and the sliding groove, but compared with the comparative technical solution in which the radius of curvature is less than or equal to half the size of the guide portion along the Z-axis direction, it can better guide the movement of the moving contact portion along the X-axis direction, which is conducive to the correct closing of the moving contact and the stationary contact along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the moving contact and the stationary contact, shortening the length of time for which the moving contact draws an arc when breaking away from the stationary contact, and increasing the service life of the moving contact, the stationary contact, and the entire relay. Specifically, taking the case where the first guide portion is provided on the moving contact portion as an example, when the first guide portion slightly deviates relative to the fixed portion in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, compared with the comparative technical solution, the deviation rectifying portion can resist the side groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove up and down along the Z-axis direction at a very small deviation angle, and the side groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove can exert a reaction force on the deviation rectifying portion, which is conducive to causing the moving contact portion to deviate in the opposite direction, thereby achieving a deviation rectifying effect. This deviation rectifying effect can better guide the movement of the moving contact portion along the X-axis direction. Accordingly, in the case where the sliding groove is provided on the moving contact portion, when the sliding groove slightly deviates in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, compared with the comparative technical solution, the side groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove can resist the deviation rectifying portion up and down along the Z-axis direction at a very small deviation angle, and the deviation rectifying portion can exert a reaction force on the side groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove, which is conducive to causing the moving contact portion to deviate in the opposite direction, thereby achieving a deviation rectifying effect.

[0048] In the present application, since the first guide portion has a deviation rectifying function in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, the moving contact portion is allowed to use only the first guide portion to cooperate with the sliding groove. On this basis, if other guide portions are also used for other needs, by providing the first guide portion, the other guide portions can be allowed not to accurately cooperate with the corresponding sliding groove along the Z-axis direction, i.e., the other guide portions and the corresponding sliding groove are allowed to have a relatively large fit gap, thereby avoiding over-positioning and ensuring that the moving contact portion and the fixed portion can be assembled in place without being affected by manufacturing errors.

Other features, objects, and advantages of the present application will be apparent from the description, drawings, and claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The coil frame 40 extends along the Z-axis direction and is provided with a central hole extending along the Z-axis direction. The coil frame 40 is provided with a baffle at each end along the Z-axis direction. The coil winding 41 is wound on the coil frame 40 and located between the two baffles. The axis of the coil winding 41 extends along the Z-axis direction. The two connection terminals of the coil winding 41 are connected to the three signal input terminals 42, which are used to receive the pulse electrical signal. The core 43 is placed in the central hole of the coil frame 40 and extends along the Z-axis direction. The number of the yokes 44 is two. The two yokes 44 are fixed to the two ends of the core 43 along the Z-axis direction, respectively, and the ends of the two yokes 44 away from the core 43 form magnetic driving ends 45, respectively. The two magnetic driving ends 45 are arranged along the Z-axis direction and extend close to each other along the Z-axis direction. The two yokes 44 are a first yoke 46 and a second yoke 47, respectively. The two magnetic driving ends 45 are a first magnetic driving end 48 and a second magnetic driving end 49, respectively. 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 of the magnetic driving ends 45 temporarily formed, 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 the 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 the 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.

[0117] Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, 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.

As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, 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 respectively a first permanent magnet 52 and a second permanent magnet 53. Each permanent magnet 50 is provided with two magnetic poles 54 with fixed polarity, and the two magnetic poles 54 are respectively a first magnetic pole 55 and a second magnetic pole 56. The first magnetic pole 55 and the second magnetic pole 56 have opposite polarities.

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 the first projection plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction intersect each other.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 13 to FIG. 18, the operation principle of the magnetic circuit part 3 in the present embodiment is shown.

[0120] As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, the armature assembly 38 is located between the arms of the two yokes 44 extending along the X-axis direction along the Z-axis direction. The first magnetic driving end 48 is located between the first attracting portion 61 and the fourth attracting portion 64 along the X-axis direction; the second magnetic driving end 49 is located between the third attracting portion 63 and the second attracting portion 62 along the X-axis direction.

[0121] Fig. 13 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. 13, 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.

[0122] Fig. 14 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. 14, 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.

[0123] Fig. 15 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. 15, 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.

[0124] Fig. 16 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. 16, 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. 15; 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. 15. 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 held at the second position relative to the coil assembly 37.

[0125] Fig. 17 shows the state of the magnetic circuit portion 3 when the coil assembly 37 just receives the second pulse electric signal in the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 17, 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 portion 64 have the same S-pole polarity, the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the fourth attraction portion 64; since the second magnetic driving end 49 and the second attraction portion 62 have the same N-pole polarity, the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the second attraction portion 62. In addition, the magnetic circuit portion 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 portion 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 portion 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, and only has 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 portion 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 portion 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, and only has 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 portion 64 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic repulsion force to the second attraction portion 62, but also the first magnetic driving end 48 generates the magnetic attraction force to the first attraction portion 61 and the second magnetic driving end 49 generates the magnetic attraction force to the third attraction portion 63 due to the existence of the third push magnetic circuit and the fourth 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 second position to the first position along the breaking direction X2.

[0126] Fig. 18 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. 18, 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. 13, 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. 13, 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. 13. 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.

[0127] 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. 13.

The connecting portion 105 is provided with a mounting hole 107 for cooperating with and being fixed to the connecting end 84. The two proximal guide portions 103 are arranged along the Y-axis direction and extend out of the corresponding connecting portion 105 along the Y-axis direction away from each other. In the embodiment, the proximal guide portion 103 is made of metal and is stamped and formed from the connecting portion 105, so that the proximal guide portion 103 is integrated with the limit body 102 in the embodiment. In other embodiments, the proximal guide portion 103 can also be made of plastic and be integrally formed with the limit body 102 by insert injection molding or be bonded or threadedly connected to the limit body 102.

In the embodiment, the moving spring 83 is integrally formed with the pusher 70 by insert injection molding and is located in the second insert part 81. The moving spring 83 is provided with two contact arms which extend away from each other along the Z-axis direction. The moving spring 83 is driven by the pusher 70 to move along the X-axis direction so as to make the contact arms contact or move away from the two static contact terminals 110. In other embodiments, when the moving spring 83 is not fixedly connected with the pusher 70, the moving spring 83 can also move away from the two static contact terminals 110 based on the elastic restoring force of the moving spring 83 itself.

[0138] As shown in FIG. 23, in this embodiment, the magnetic circuit part 3 and the movable contact part 4 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 12. The two static contacts 19 of the static contact group 7 are fixed to the accommodating member 6, so that the static contact points 20 of the two static contacts 19 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the connecting terminals 21 of the two static contacts 19 are arranged along the X-axis direction and protrude out of the accommodating member 6 along the Z-axis direction. The second connecting terminals 36 of the second static contacts 23 are located between the static contact points 20 and the coil winding 41 along the X-axis direction. The eighth overflow portion 34 is located outside the movable contact group 72 along the Z-axis direction, and is also located outside the lower barrier 9.

The first static contact point 25 and the second static contact point 33 are respectively located on the two sides of the static flux guide 8 along the Z-axis direction. The projections of all the static contact points 20 on the second projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction for contacting the movable contact group 72 are located within the projection of the static flux guide 8 on the second projection plane, and the surface of the static flux guide 8 facing the movable flux guide group 73 is closer to the movable flux guide group 73 along the X-axis direction than all the static contact points 20. The second surface S2 is closer to the movable flux guide group 73 along the X-axis direction than the first surface S1. The static flux guide 8 is oppositely arranged to the movable flux guide group 73 along the X-axis direction. The static flux guide 8 is located between the third overflow portion 27 and the movable flux guide group 73 along the X-axis direction. 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 on the two sides of the static contact group 7 along the Z-axis direction. The first magnetic driving end 48 is located between the first attraction portion 61 and the fourth attraction portion 64 along the X-axis direction. The second magnetic driving end 49 is located between the third attraction portion 63 and the second attraction portion 62 along the X-axis direction. Each first movable contact point 88 is oppositely arranged to the corresponding first static contact point 25 along the X-axis direction, and each second movable contact point 89 is oppositely arranged to the corresponding second static contact point 33 along the X-axis direction. The limiting member 76 is fixed to the connecting member 71 to be oppositely fixed to the pushing member 70. The limiting member 76 can abut against the movable contact group 72 along the disconnection direction X2. The elastic member 75 can abut against the abutment surface 18 of the accommodating member 6. The first guide portion 103 and the second guide portion 78 are both centrally located between the first movable contact point 88 and the second movable contact point 89 along the Z-axis direction, i.e., the first guide portion 103 and the second guide portion 78 are both centrally located between the movable contact points 87 at the two ends of the movable contact 85 along the Z-axis direction.

[0139] 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 front near guide 103 along the Y-axis direction extends into the left chute 14 of the chute 13 of the cover 11 along the Y-axis direction. The front far guide 78 along the Y-axis direction extends into the right chute 15 of the chute 13 of the cover 11 along the Y-axis direction. The rear near guide 103 along the Y-axis direction extends into the left chute 14 of the chute 13 of the shell 10 along the Y-axis direction. The rear far guide 78 along the Y-axis direction extends into the right chute 15 of the chute 13 of the shell 10 along the Y-axis direction. Thus, each guide 109 extends into the corresponding chute 13 along the Y-axis direction and slides along the X-axis direction with the chute 13. The guides 109 include two precise guides and at least one non-precise guide, the two precise guides are arranged along the Y-axis direction and extend into the corresponding chute 13 along the Y-axis direction away from each other, the cooperation gap between the precise guide and the corresponding chute 13 along the Z-axis direction is smaller than the cooperation gap between the non-precise guide and the corresponding chute 13 along the Z-axis direction. In the embodiment, the two near guides 103 are precise guides, and the cooperation gap between the two near guides 103 as precise guides and the chute 13 along the Z-axis direction is smaller than the cooperation gap between the far guide 78 as non-precise guide and the chute 13 along the Z-axis direction. In the embodiment, the number of non-precise guides is two and specifically can be composed of two far guides 78, and the cooperation gap between the two far guides 78 as non-precise guides and the two right chutes 15 along the Y-axis direction is smaller than the cooperation gap between the two near guides 103 as precise guides and the two left chutes 14 along the Y-axis direction. In the embodiment, the guides 109 are arranged on the movable contact part 4, and the chute 13 is arranged on the accommodating member 6. In other embodiments, the guides 109 can be arranged on the accommodating member 6, and the chute 13 can be arranged on the movable contact part 4. When the guides 109 are arranged on the accommodating member 6, at least one guide 109 is arranged corresponding to the limiting member 76 and is called the near guide 103.

[0140] As shown in FIG. 27, in the embodiment, the two guides 109 arranged along the Y-axis direction form a guide group, and there are two guide groups in the embodiment, and the guide group formed by the two far guides 78 is shown in the figure. The two guides 109 in the guide group extend away from each other along the Y-axis direction, and the two ends of the two guides in the guide group along the Y-axis direction respectively slide along the Y-axis direction with the two protrusions 13a. The two protrusions 13a limit the guide group and the movable contact part 4 along the Y-axis direction. In the embodiment, the Z-axis direction is the direction of gravity, and thus the lower side of the chute 13 supports the corresponding guide 109 upward.

[0141] Referring to Fig. 23, Fig. 23 shows the state of the relay 1 when the armature assembly 38 is in the first position. As shown in Fig. 23, when the armature assembly 38 is in the first position, the movable contact group 72 is disconnected from the stationary contact group 7 in 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 contact with the abutment surface 18 in the disconnecting direction X2, and the elastic member 75 is deformed to store energy. The limiting member 76 abuts against the movable contact group 72 in the disconnecting direction X2, each movable contact 85 is pressed against the elastic support group 74, and the frame body 94 of the elastic support 93 and the main body 98 of the elastic member 75 are fixed relative to the push member 70 in the X-axis direction, so that the frame body 94 and the elastic member 75 are fixed relative to the push member 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.

[0142] When the coil assembly 37 drives the armature assembly 38 to move in the closing direction X1 upon receiving the first pulse electrical signal, the armature assembly 38 drives the movable contact portion 4 to move in the closing direction X1, and in this process, each guide portion 109 slides in the sliding groove 13 in the closing direction X1 and guides the movable contact portion 4. The elastic member 75 recovers from the deformation to release the stored energy. When the movable contact 87 contacts the corresponding stationary contact 20, the push member 70 enters the overstroke, at which time the elastic support group 74 is deformed to store energy until the armature assembly 38 reaches the second position, and the movable contact group 72 is connected to the stationary contact group 7.

[0143] Referring to Figs. 24 and 26, Figs. 24 and 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 connected to the stationary contact group 7 in the closing direction X1, the relay 1 is in the on state, and the external circuit is connected. 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 downward in the Z-axis direction, and when the cross flow portion is located below the overcurrent bridge 86, the overcurrent direction is the disconnecting direction X2. 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 toward the stationary contact group 7. The elastic support group 74 is deformed to store energy in the X-axis direction. The elastic member 75 is away from the abutment surface 18 in 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.

[0144] As shown in Fig. 26, the current passing through the overcurrent bridge 86 forms an anti-short-circuit magnetic circuit Ml between the moving magnetic conductor 90 and the static magnetic conductor 8.

[0171] Embodiment Fourteen

[0172] Referring to FIG. 40, FIG. 40 shows the relay 1 in Embodiment Fourteen. As shown in FIG. 40, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Twelve is that the number and arrangement of the distal guide portions 78 are different, and the slide slot 13 also needs to be adapted accordingly. In this embodiment, the number of the distal guide portions 78 is four, of which two are located at the front of the pushing body 77 along the Y-axis direction and extend forward along the Y-axis direction, and the other two are located at the rear of the pushing body 77 along the Y-axis direction and extend backward along the Y-axis direction. The two distal guide portions 78 located at the front are arranged along the Z-axis direction, the two distal guide portions 78 located at the rear are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the two distal guide portions 78 located at the upper part along the Z-axis direction are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the two distal guide portions 78 located at the lower part along the Z-axis direction are arranged along the Y-axis direction. Accordingly, in this embodiment, both the shell 10 and the cover 11 are provided with two right slide slots 15 arranged along the Z-axis direction.

[0173] In each embodiment, the guide portion 109 extends into the slide slot 13 along the Y-axis direction and is in sliding cooperation with the slide slot 13 along the X-axis direction. Since the direction in which the guide portion 109 extends into the slide slot 13 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the movable contact part 4, the part of the guide portion 109 used for sliding cooperation is much shorter than that of the prior art, and it is not easy to be flexed and deformed, and its guiding effect is better than that of the prior art.

[0174] In each embodiment, since the guide portion 109 extends into the slide slot 13 along the Y-axis direction, the size of the cooperation surface of the guide portion 109 and the slide slot 13 can be set smaller than that of the prior art, which can reduce the friction between the slide slot 13 and the guide portion 109, and make the required driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3 smaller, thereby reducing the volume of the magnetic circuit part 3, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the relay 1.

[0175] In the embodiments, the outer edge of the first projection of the deviation rectifying portion of the first guiding portion on the first projection plane is a convex curve, so even if the first guiding portion slightly deviates in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, the sliding fit between the first guiding portion and the sliding groove 13 is not prone to jamming, which is conducive to avoiding the need to increase the pushing force of the magnetic circuit portion 3 due to jamming, and is conducive to reducing the useless work of the magnetic circuit portion 3, so as to reduce the power consumption of the coil assembly 37.

[0176] In the embodiments, the outer edge of the first projection of the first guiding portion forms a convex curve with a radius of curvature greater than half the size of the guiding portion 109 along the Z-axis direction, which not only helps to avoid jamming of the sliding fit between the first guiding portion and the sliding groove 13, but also has a better guiding effect on the movement of the moving contact portion 4 along the X-axis direction compared to the comparative technical solution in which the radius of curvature is less than or equal to half the size of the guiding portion 109 along the Z-axis direction, which helps the moving contact 87 to correctly close with the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the moving contact 87 and the stationary contact 20, shortening the length of time for which the moving contact 87 draws an arc when breaking away from the stationary contact 20, and increasing the service life of the moving contact 87, the stationary contact 20, and the entire relay 1.

[0177] In the embodiments, the two moving contacts 87 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the guiding portion 109 extends into the sliding groove 13 along the Y-axis direction, so the arrangement direction of the two moving contacts 87 is perpendicular to the direction in which the guiding portion 109 extends into the sliding groove 13, which more reasonably utilizes the space in the three directions of the relay 1, and can reduce the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction.

[0178] In the embodiments other than Embodiment Two and Embodiment Three, the second projection is an ellipse with the long axis extending along the X-axis direction, so the abutting portion of the first guiding portion is a point or a line segment extending along the Y-axis direction, the contact area between the abutting portion and the side groove wall of the sliding groove 13 is smaller, and the friction between the first guiding portion and the sliding groove 13 is smaller, so the required driving force of the magnetic circuit portion 3 is smaller, thereby enabling the volume of the magnetic circuit portion 3 to be reduced, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization of the relay.

[0179] In some embodiments, when the first guiding portion is in the shape of an ellipsoid, the abutting portion of the first guiding portion is a point, and compared to the technical solution in which the first guiding portion is in the shape of an elliptical cylinder, the contact area between the abutting portion and the side groove wall of the sliding groove 13 is smaller, and the friction between the first guiding portion and the sliding groove 13 is smaller, so the required driving force of the magnetic circuit portion 3 is smaller, thereby enabling the volume of the magnetic circuit portion 3 to be reduced, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization of the relay.

[0180] In other embodiments except for Embodiment Two and Embodiment Three, when the first guide portion is in the shape of an elliptic cylinder, the abutting portion of the first guide portion is a line segment extending along the Y-axis direction. Compared with the technical solution in which the first guide portion is in the shape of an ellipsoid, the movable contact portion is less likely to deflect in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, thereby being able to better guide the movement of the movable contact portion 4 along the X-axis direction, facilitating the movable contact 87 to correctly close with the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20, shortening the length of time for which the movable contact 87 pulls an arc when breaking away from the stationary contact 20, and increasing the service life of the movable contact 87, the stationary contact 20, and the entire relay 1.

[0181] In Embodiment Two and Embodiment Three, the abutting portion is a plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. This plane necessarily has a size in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction. Therefore, compared with the second to fourth technical solutions, the movable contact portion 4 is less likely to deflect in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction and the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, thereby being able to better guide the movement of the movable contact portion 4 along the X-axis direction, facilitating the movable contact 87 to correctly close with the stationary contact 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the movable contact 87 and the stationary contact 20, shortening the length of time for which the movable contact 87 pulls an arc when breaking away from the stationary contact 20, and increasing the service life of the movable contact 87, the stationary contact 20, and the entire relay 1.

[0182] In other embodiments except for Embodiment Seven to Embodiment Ten, the guide portion 109 has only the second guide portion in addition to the first guide portion. The third projection of the second guide portion is circular. On the premise that the first guide portion has already improved the guiding effect, the second guide portion is beneficial to cooperating with the first guide portion to avoid the sliding cooperation between the guide portion 109 and the sliding groove 13 from being jammed, thereby reducing the power consumption of the coil assembly 37. Meanwhile, compared with the guide portion 109 having a third projection that is not circular in addition to the first guide portion, all the guide portions 109 are more likely to extend into the corresponding sliding groove along the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the movable contact portion 4 is more likely to establish a sliding cooperation relationship with the accommodating member 6 along the X-axis direction.

[0183] In each embodiment, the groove bottom of the first sliding groove is provided with a protrusion 13a that protrudes from the groove bottom along the Y-axis direction and extends along the X-axis direction. Therefore, the top end of the guide portion 109 along the Y-axis direction can be in sliding cooperation with the protrusion 13a. Compared with the top end of the guide portion 109 along the Y-axis direction being directly in sliding cooperation with the groove bottom, the sliding cooperation area is smaller, the friction between the sliding groove 13 and the guide portion 109 can be reduced, and the driving force required by the magnetic circuit portion 3 is smaller, thereby being able to reduce the volume of the magnetic circuit portion 3 and facilitate the miniaturization of the relay 1.

[0184] In each embodiment, the first sliding groove is provided with a recess 13b between the protrusion 13a and the side groove wall on both sides. The protrusion 13a of the first sliding groove abuts against the top end of the guide portion 109 along the Y-axis direction, and the debris generated by friction between the two will fall into the recess 13b on both sides, without affecting the sliding fit between the guide portion 109 and the protrusion 13a, avoiding the jamming or increased friction caused by the debris remaining on the sliding fit surface.

[0185] In each embodiment, the openings of at least two first sliding grooves face or are away from each other along the Y-axis direction, and the protrusions 13a of the two first sliding grooves abut against the top end of the corresponding guide portion 109 along the Y-axis direction, facing or away from each other along the Y-axis direction, which is conducive to making the fitting gap between the guide portion 109 and the first sliding groove along the Y-axis direction smaller, and the moving contact part 4 is less likely to be deflected in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction when moving along the X-axis direction, and the guiding effect is better, which is conducive to the correct closure of the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20, shortening the length of the arc drawn when the moving contact point 87 is disconnected from the static contact point 20, and increasing the service life of the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20 and the entire relay 1.

[0186] In each embodiment, the two first sliding grooves with openings facing or away from each other are arranged along the Y-axis direction, which is conducive to avoiding the deflection of the guide portion 109 in the plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, and thus the guiding effect is better, which is conducive to the correct closure of the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20, shortening the length of the arc drawn when the moving contact point 87 is disconnected from the static contact point 20, and increasing the service life of the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20 and the entire relay 1.

[0187] In other embodiments except for Embodiment Eight and Embodiment Nine, the near guide portion 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 member 7 is fixedly connected to the accommodating member 6, arranging the sliding groove 13 on the accommodating member 6 is conducive 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 contact points 19, so that the sliding groove 13 guides the guide portion 109 along the X-axis direction more accurately.

[0188] In other embodiments except for Embodiment Eight and Embodiment Nine, since the limiting member 76 abuts against the moving contact member 85 before the pushing member 70 moves into the overstroke along the closing direction X1, and when the moving contact member 85 enters the overstroke, the moving contact point 87 has already abutted against the corresponding static contact point 20, arranging the near guide portion 103 on the limiting member 76 can better guide the moving contact member 85 to move along the X-axis direction, so that the moving contact point 87 correctly closes the static contact point 20 along the X-axis direction, reduces the contact resistance between the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20, and also shortens the length of the arc drawn when the moving contact point 87 is disconnected from the static contact point 20, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20.

[0189] In the first to fourth embodiments, the seventh embodiment, the tenth embodiment, the eleventh embodiment and the thirteenth embodiment, the proximal guide 103 is the first guide, which can better guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction and make the movable contact point 87 more easily and correctly close to the stationary contact point 20 along the X-axis direction.

[0190] In the fourth embodiment, the tenth embodiment and the twelfth to fourteenth embodiments, the at least two proximal guides 103 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, which makes the movable contact part 4 less likely to deflect in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, and thus can better guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0191] In each of the embodiments, the two proximal guides 103 are arranged along the Y-axis direction and extend into the corresponding chute 13 along the Y-axis direction away from each other, so that the two chutes 13 can support the two proximal guides 103 along the Z-axis direction in the case that the Z-axis direction is the direction of gravity, thereby being able to support the limiting member 76. In this case, it is more conducive to preventing the movable contact part 4 from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis direction, and thus can better guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0192] In the first to third embodiments, the fifth to seventh embodiments and the eleventh embodiment, the number of the proximal guides 103 is two, and the two proximal guides 103 are centrally arranged along the Z-axis direction between the movable contact points 87 at the two ends of the movable contact 85. Therefore, the proximal guides 103 are centrally arranged along the Z-axis direction, which can save the space of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction and avoid increasing the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction. At the same time, it is less likely to cause the movement of the proximal guides 103 along the X-axis direction to be stuck due to the two chutes 13 arranged along the Z-axis direction being not parallel to each other, and the magnetic driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3 is not easily wasted on useless work, thereby being able to reduce the energy consumption of the coil assembly 37.

[0193] In the first to fourth embodiments, the seventh embodiment, the tenth embodiment, the eleventh embodiment and the thirteenth embodiment, the proximal guide 103 extends from the connecting part 105 along the Y-axis direction, and when the proximal guide 103 is the first guide, it is more conducive to be technically implemented.

[0194] In each of the embodiments except for the eighth and ninth embodiments, the proximal guide 103 is stamped and formed, which has fewer manufacturing steps, is simpler to manufacture, has lower cost and is easier to ensure the size and position of the outer edge of the proximal guide 103, and is conducive to better guiding the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0195] In some embodiments, the material of the proximal guide 103 and the accommodating member 6 is plastic, which is conducive to preventing the swarf from falling on the movable contact point 87 and the stationary contact point 20 and affecting the contact resistance between the movable contact point 87 and the stationary contact point 20.

[0196] In each embodiment, the material of the limiting body 102 is metal, so it is more rigid and has a better limiting effect on the moving contact group 72.

[0197] In some embodiments, the near guide part 103 and the limiting body 102 are integrally formed by insert injection molding or bonded or threaded connection, and the combination of the two is better, the position of the near guide part 103 along the Z-axis direction is more accurate, and it is beneficial to better slide along the X-axis direction with the sliding groove 13.

[0198] In embodiments other than embodiment seven and embodiment ten, the pushing piece 70 is provided with a far guide part 78, the limiting piece 76 is provided with a near guide part 103, and the limiting piece 76 is fixedly connected with the pushing piece 70, so the far guide part 78 and the near guide part 103 cooperate with each other, which is beneficial to avoid the deflection of the whole formed by the pushing piece 70 and the limiting piece 76 fixedly connected with each other in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, and is beneficial to better guide the movement of the moving contact part 4 along the X-axis direction. Therefore, it is beneficial to ensure that the moving contact point 87 correctly closes with the stationary contact point 20 along the X-axis direction.

[0199] In embodiment three, embodiment five, embodiment six, embodiment eight, embodiment nine, embodiment twelve, and embodiment fourteen, the far guide part 78 is a first guide part, which is not only beneficial to avoid jamming of the moving contact part 4 when moving along the X-axis direction, but also can better guide the movement of the moving contact part 4 along the X-axis direction, especially the movement of the moving contact part 4 along the opening direction X2.

[0200] In embodiments other than embodiments seven to ten, at least one near guide part 103 and one far guide part 78 extend into the corresponding sliding groove 13 along the Y-axis direction away from each other, so that in the case that the Z-axis direction is the direction of gravity, the two sliding grooves 13 can support at least one near guide part 103 and at least one far guide part 78 along the Z-axis direction, thereby being able to support the moving contact part 4. And in this case, it is more beneficial to prevent the moving contact part 4 from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis, so it can better guide the movement of the moving contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0201] In embodiment five, embodiment nine, embodiment eleven, embodiment thirteen, and embodiment fourteen, at least two far guide parts 78 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, so that the moving contact part 4 is less likely to deflect in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, and thus it can better guide the movement of the moving contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0202] In other embodiments except for Embodiment Seven and Embodiment Ten, at least two distal guide portions 78 are arranged along the Y-axis direction and extend into the corresponding chute 13 away from each other along the Y-axis direction, so that the two chutes 13 can support the two distal guide portions 78 along the Z-axis direction in the case that the Z-axis direction is the direction of gravity, thereby being able to support the pusher 70 and the movable contact part 4. In this case, it is more conducive to preventing the movable contact part 4 from deflecting in the plane perpendicular to the X-axis, thereby being able to better guide the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0203] In Embodiments One to Four, Embodiment Six, Embodiment Eight and Embodiment Twelve, the number of distal guide portions 78 is two, and the two distal guide portions 78 are centrally located between the two movable contact points 87 along the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the distal guide portions 78 are centrally located along the Z-axis direction, which can save the space of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction and avoid the increase in the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction. At the same time, it is less likely to cause the movement of the distal guide portions 78 along the X-axis direction to be stuck due to the two chutes 13 arranged along the Z-axis direction being not parallel to each other, so that the magnetic driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3 is not easily wasted on useless work, thereby being able to reduce the energy consumption of the coil assembly 37.

[0204] In Embodiment One, Embodiment Six and Embodiment Twelve, the fitting gap formed between the precisely fitting guide portion and the chute 13 along the Z-axis direction is smaller than the fitting gap formed between the non-precisely fitting guide portion and the chute 13 along the Z-axis direction, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of establishing a sliding fit between all guide portions 109 and the chute 13, reducing the manufacturing precision requirement of the movable contact part 4 and the fixed part 2, and at the same time, it is also conducive to correctly guiding the movement of the movable contact part 4 along the X-axis direction.

[0205] In Embodiment One, Embodiment Six and Embodiment Twelve, the precisely fitting guide portion is the first guide portion. Therefore, as long as the precisely fitting guide portion has a little deflection in the plane perpendicular to the Y-axis, the side groove wall of the chute 13 can be corrected in position by the correction portion acting on the precisely fitting portion due to the precisely fitting portion being the first guide portion, thereby being able to better play the unique guiding and anti-sticking effects of the first guide portion.

[0206] In Embodiment One, the precisely fitting guide portion is the proximal guide portion, so the precisely fitting guide portion is closer to the movable contact 85 along the X-axis direction, which is more conducive to the correct closing of the movable contact point 87 and the static contact point 20 along the X-axis direction, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the movable contact point 87 and the static contact point 20, shortening the length of time for the movable contact point 87 to draw an arc when breaking away from the static contact point 20, and increasing the service life of the movable contact point 87, the static contact point 20 and the entire relay.

[0207] In the embodiment one, the precisely-fitted guide part is arranged as the middle part of the near guide part 103 and the first guide part along the Z-axis direction, which can save the space of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction and avoid the increase of the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction. Meanwhile, the movement of the near guide part 103 along the X-axis direction is less likely to be jammed due to the non-parallel arrangement of the two sliding grooves 13 along the Z-axis direction, and the magnetic driving force of the magnetic circuit part 3 is less likely to be wasted on useless work, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the coil assembly 37.

[0208] In other embodiments except the embodiments seven to ten, the fitting gap between the two non-precisely-fitted guide parts arranged along the Y-axis direction and the corresponding sliding grooves 13 along the Y-axis direction is smaller than the fitting gap between the two precisely-fitted guide parts and the corresponding sliding grooves 13 along the Y-axis direction, which is more conducive to improving the fitting precision of the movable contact part 4 and the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction. Meanwhile, when the movable contact part 4 is assembled to the accommodating member 6 along the Y-axis direction to establish the sliding fitting relationship between the guide parts 109 and the sliding grooves 13, the non-precisely-fitted guide parts can be inserted into the sliding grooves 13 along the Y-axis direction for pre-guiding before the precisely-fitted guide parts are inserted into the sliding grooves along the Y-axis direction, which makes the assembly easier.

[0209] In each embodiment, the static contact points 20 of the two static contacts 19 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the movable contact group 72 is closed or disconnected with the static contact group 7 along the X-axis direction to correspondingly turn on or turn off the electrical connection between the two static contacts 19. Under this structure, the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 is twice the actual distance between the movable contact points 87 and the corresponding static contact points 20 along the X-axis direction, so the relay 1 has higher safety and stronger load capacity, which is more conducive to improving the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7.

[0210] In each embodiment, the static contact points 20 of the two static contacts 19 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the connection terminals 21 of the two static contacts 19 are arranged along the X-axis direction and protrude out of the accommodating member 6 along the Z-axis direction, which shortens the size along the X-axis direction compared to the protrusion of the static contacts 19 out of the accommodating member 6 along the movement direction of the movable contact group 72, and effectively utilizes the space along the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the size of the relay 1 along the X-axis direction and the size along the Z-axis direction are well balanced, which creates more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0211] In each embodiment, the two armatures 51 fixed with the permanent magnet 50 are changed from parallel arrangement to cross arrangement in the armature assembly 38 based on the coil assembly 37 of the swing type magnetic latching relay, 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 of the relay 1 can be higher, and more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0212] In each embodiment, since the axis of the coil winding 41 extends along the Z-axis direction and the two magnetic driving ends 45 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the linear motion direction of the armature assembly 38 is the X-axis direction perpendicular to the Z-axis direction, this layout is conducive to giving space for the motion of the armature assembly 38 and the movable contact group 72 along the X-axis, and at this time, the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Z-axis direction is mainly determined by the length of the coil assembly 37 along the Z-axis direction, so the relay 1 does not need to be very long in one direction (whether the X-axis direction or the Z-axis direction), and the relay 1 can be more easily adapted to limited space, and more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0213] In each embodiment, the push rod and the moving iron core do not need to be placed in the coil winding 41, so the support shaft diameter of the coil holder 40 is smaller, and the inner diameter of the coil winding 41 is smaller. Compared with the direct-acting 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 greater, which 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.

[0214] In each 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 that penetrates through the entire coil assembly 37. In the magnetic latching state, the attracting portion 60 attracts the corresponding magnetic driving end 45 along the X-axis direction, so that the first part and the second part can form a complete magnetic circuit without air gap, so the magnetic loss is smaller, the magnetic efficiency is higher, and the movement stroke of the movable contact group 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, and the size of the coil assembly 37 can be made smaller. Therefore, more favorable conditions can be created for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0215] In each embodiment, since the second part of the magnetic circuit passes through the entire coil assembly 37, the magnetic force during magnetic retention is larger than that of the direct-acting magnetic latching relay in the prior art, especially when the relay 1 is subjected to a fault current impact, the armature assembly 38 is less likely to move out of the magnetic retention state, which is beneficial to avoid the destructive arc caused by the separation of the moving contact set 72 from the static contact set 7 due to the fault current.

[0216] In each embodiment, when the coil assembly 37 is excited by a pulse electrical signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends 45 temporarily formed, not only the two magnetic driving ends 45 generate magnetic repulsion on the first and third attraction sections 61 and 63, but also the first part of the push magnetic circuit without air gap is formed between the fourth and second attraction sections 64 and 62 through the armature assembly 38, and the second part of the push magnetic circuit is formed through the coil assembly 37, and the first and second parts of the push magnetic circuit constitute a complete push magnetic circuit, which has only a certain travel air gap and no other air gap, so the magnetic efficiency is higher, and the magnetic driving force of the two magnetic driving ends 45 on the armature assembly 38 is stronger under the same power consumption, which is more conducive to increasing the safety distance between the moving contact set 72 and the static contact set 7. Similarly, when the coil assembly 37 is excited by a pulse electrical signal to reverse the polarity of the two magnetic driving ends 45 temporarily formed, the armature assembly 38 in the second position has the same technical effect.

[0217] In each embodiment, since the first and fourth attraction sections 61 and 64 are arranged along the X-axis direction, the third and second attraction sections 63 and 62 are arranged along the X-axis direction, the first and third attraction sections 61 and 63 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the fourth and second attraction sections 64 and 62 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, the four attraction sections 60 of the armature assembly 38 are respectively located at the four vertex positions of the rectangle in the first projection plane, which is conducive to adjusting the size of the armature assembly 38 along the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and creates more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact set 72 and the static contact set 7 in a limited space.

[0218] In the embodiments, the permanent magnets 50 are arranged on both sides of the portion 59 intersecting with each other along the Z-axis, and the two magnetic poles 54 of the permanent magnets 50 are arranged along the X-axis direction. Without increasing the size of the armature assembly 38 along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, the space occupied by the armature assembly 38 is fully utilized to increase the magnetic interaction force between the magnetic driving end 45 and the armature assembly 38, which is more conducive to increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7. Since each permanent magnet 50 is connected together through two armatures 51, the difference in the strength of the magnetic field of each permanent magnet 50 is effectively weakened on the two armatures 51, and the magnetic propulsion force between the two attracting portions 60 on the two sides and the magnetic driving end 45 can be more balanced along the X-axis direction, so that the relay 1 is less likely to jam and has a longer service life.

[0219] In the embodiments, the projection of the armature assembly 38 on the first projection plane is mirror-symmetrical along the symmetry plane perpendicular to the Z-axis, so that the consistency of the magnetic field strength on both sides of the armature assembly 38 along the Z-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 moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0220] In the embodiments, the two moving contact points 87 of the moving contact 85 are arranged along the Z-axis direction and fixed to the overcurrent bridge 86 extending along the Z-axis direction, so that the current passing through the overcurrent bridge 86 can flow along the Z-axis direction, facilitating the formation of a magnetic loop for short-circuit resistance. The short-circuit resistance magnetic loop is used to enable the moving contact group 72 to be more reliably closed with the static contact group 7, which is conducive to avoiding the disengagement of the moving contact group 72 from the static contact group 7 when the relay 1 is subjected to a fault current, thereby avoiding destructive arc drawing to cause damage to the relay 1.

[0221] In the embodiments, the number of moving contacts 85 in the moving contact group 72 is two or more, and each moving contact 85 is arranged along the Y-axis direction. Therefore, when the moving contact group 72 is closed with the static contact group 7, each moving contact 85 is connected in parallel with each other, which can increase the load capacity of the relay 1 and also reduce the contact resistance between the moving contact point 87 and the static contact point 20. At the same time, in combination with the technical means that the overcurrent bridge 86 extends along the Z-axis direction and the technical means that the moving contact 85 moves along the X-axis direction, the relay 1 can more fully utilize the space in each direction, and the structure is more compact, which creates more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0222] In the embodiments, the connection terminal 21 of at least one static contact 19 is located between the static contact point 20 and the coil winding 41 along the X-axis direction, which increases the distance between the two connection terminals 21 along the X-axis direction, so that the two static contacts 19 are less likely to be short-circuited, and the demand for external mutual inductor installation can be met.

[0223] In each embodiment, the eighth overcurrent portion 34 of the second stationary contact 23 forms a cross-flow portion, which is located outside the movable contact group 72 along the Z-axis direction and is connected to the connecting terminal 21 along the opening direction. The magnetic field generated by the current of the cross-flow portion acts on the overcurrent bridge 86 in the overcurrent direction of the Z-axis direction, generating a magnetic force on the overcurrent bridge 86 towards the stationary contact group 7, which enables the movable contact group 72 to be more reliably closed with the stationary contact group 7. Since the magnetic force increases with the increase of the current, when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the movable contact group 72 from separating from the stationary contact group 7, thereby avoiding the relay 1 from being damaged by destructive arc pulling.

[0224] In each embodiment, the movable magnetic conductor group 73 and the stationary magnetic conductor 8 form an anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 when the overcurrent bridge 86 flows along the Z-axis direction, thereby enabling the movable magnetic conductor group 73 and the movable contact group 72 to be subjected to a magnetic force in the closing direction, which enables the movable contact group 72 to be more reliably closed with the stationary contact group 7. Since the magnetic force increases with the increase of the current, when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the movable contact group 72 from separating from the stationary contact group 7, thereby avoiding the relay 1 from being damaged by destructive arc pulling.

[0225] In each embodiment, the movable magnetic conductor 90 is arranged corresponding to the movable contact 85, so that an anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 can be formed around each movable contact 85, which enables each movable contact 85 to be less likely to separate from the stationary contact group 7. The magnetic conductor body 91 is fixedly connected to the back of the overcurrent bridge 86, which enables the magnetic field generated by the current of the overcurrent bridge 86 to be mostly constrained in the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop, thereby improving the magnetic efficiency. The extension 92 extends from the magnetic conductor body 91 along the closing direction, so that when the movable contact group 72 is closed with the stationary contact group 7, the air gap between the movable magnetic conductor 90 and the stationary magnetic conductor 8 is smaller, the magnetic resistance of the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 is smaller, and the movable contact group 72 is less likely to separate from the stationary contact group 7. Therefore, the movable contact group 72 can be more reliably closed with the stationary contact group 7, and when the relay 1 bears a fault large current, it is beneficial to avoid the movable contact group 72 from separating from the stationary contact group 7, thereby avoiding the relay 1 from being damaged by destructive arc pulling.

[0226] In each embodiment, the stationary magnetic conductor 8 is fixedly connected to the accommodating member 6, which enables the stationary magnetic conductor 8 to be more easily installed.

[0227] In each embodiment, the stationary contact points 20 of the two stationary contacts 19 are respectively located on the two sides of the stationary magnetic conductor 8 along the Z-axis direction, which enables the magnetic force formed by the anti-short-circuit magnetic loop M1 formed by the stationary magnetic conductor 8 and the movable magnetic conductor group 73 on the movable contact group 72 to be more balanced along the Z-axis direction, and the two movable contact points 87 are less likely to separate from the corresponding stationary contact points 20.

[0228] In each embodiment, the flow direction of the reflux portion is opposite to the flow direction of the overcurrent bridge 86, and the static magnetic conductor 8 is located between the reflux portion and the moving magnetic conductor group 73 along the X-axis direction, so that the magnetic field generated by the reflux portion due to the overcurrent is in the same direction as the magnetic field generated by the anti-short-circuit magnetic circuit M1 on the side of the static magnetic conductor 8, thereby strengthening the magnetic field intensity of the static magnetic conductor 8, making the magnetic force between the static magnetic conductor 8 and the moving magnetic conductor group 73 stronger, and making the moving contact group 72 less likely to be separated from the static contact group 7 when the relay 1 bears a fault current, thereby avoiding the relay 1 from being damaged due to a destructive arc.

[0229] In each 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 points 20 along the Z-axis direction, thereby increasing the creepage distance between the static contacts 19 and the static magnetic conductor 8 and improving the voltage resistance of the relay 1. Meanwhile, this is also conducive to reducing the distance between the two static contact points 20 along the Z-axis direction and conducive to reducing the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Z-axis direction, thereby creating more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0230] In each embodiment, the projection of the portion of all the static contact points 20 capable of contacting the moving contact group 72 on the second projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction is 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 moving magnetic conductor group 73 is closer to the moving magnetic conductor group 73 along the X-axis direction than all the static contact points 20. Therefore, when the moving contact group 72 breaks the arc from the static contact group 7, the magnetic field generated by the arcs on both sides is concentrated on the static magnetic conductor 8, making the arc less likely to spread along the Z-axis direction, thereby reducing the ablation of the surrounding accommodating member 6 caused by the arc escaping between the moving contact points 87 and the static contact points 20 and ensuring the service life of the relay 1. On this basis, the distance between the two static contact points 20 along the Z-axis direction can be designed to be closer, which is conducive to reducing the size of the accommodating member 6 along the Z-axis direction and creating more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the static contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0231] In each embodiment, the two blocking pieces 9 are fixed to the accommodating piece 6 and located outside the stationary contact group 7 along the Z-axis direction, each blocking piece 9 extends along the X-axis direction, so that the projection of each stationary contact 20 on a second projection plane perpendicular to the Z-axis direction is located within the projection of each blocking piece 9 on the second projection plane. Therefore, when the movable contact group 72 is disconnected from the stationary contact group 7 to pull the arc, the arc cannot be conducted to the two side walls of the accommodating piece 6 along the Z-axis direction, ensuring the insulation performance of the accommodating piece 6. The blocking piece 9 is made of high-temperature-resistant insulating material, which can prevent the arc heat from damaging the blocking piece 9 when the load is large and the arc pulling generates a lot of heat, avoiding damage to the blocking piece 9, and is beneficial to improve the load capacity of the relay 1.

[0232] In each embodiment, the elastic support group 74 is arranged between the pushing piece 70 and the movable contact group 72, which can provide an elastic force to the movable contact group 72 along the closing direction X1 after the pushing piece 70 experiences overstroke, so that the movable contact group 72 can be more reliably closed with the stationary contact group 7, and the movable contact group 72 is less likely to be separated from the stationary contact group 7 when the relay 1 bears a fault current, thereby avoiding damage to the relay 1 caused by destructive arc pulling. The elastic support group 74 can also generate an additional repulsive force when the movable contact group 72 is disconnected from the stationary contact group 7, helping the movable contact 85 to disconnect with the stationary contact group 7.

[0233] In each embodiment, by arranging the limiting piece 76, the distance between the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 can meet the design requirements when the movable contact group 72 is disconnected from the stationary contact group 7.

[0234] In each embodiment, the armature assembly 38 and the pushing piece 70 are integrally formed by insert injection molding, avoiding errors that may occur during assembly of the armature assembly 38 and the pushing piece 70, and making the pushing piece 70 and the armature assembly 38 have higher integration and fewer components, which is beneficial to fully utilize the limited space.

[0235] In each embodiment, the connecting piece 71 and the pushing piece 70 are integrally formed by insert injection molding, making the limiting piece 76 more easily fixed relative to the pushing piece 70, and the limiting piece 76 is more rigid, the limiting effect on the movable contact group 72 is better, and the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction can be saved; the two ends of the connecting piece 71 along the Y-axis direction respectively extend out of the pushing piece 70 to form a connecting end 84 fixed to the limiting piece 76, which can save the size of the relay 1 along the Z-axis direction, and create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the movable contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 in the limited space.

[0236] In various embodiments, the first elastic part 95 is arranged corresponding to the moving contact 85, and each moving contact 85 is fixedly connected to the corresponding first elastic part 95, so that each moving contact 85 can be adjusted in posture by the relatively independent first elastic part 95, and the two moving contact points 87 of the moving contact 85 can be reliably closed with the corresponding stationary contact point 20.

[0237] In various embodiments, the first elastic part 95 includes two first elastic arms 97 fixedly connected to the overcurrent bridge 86, which facilitates the free swinging of the moving contact 85 to adjust the posture. The positions where the two first elastic arms 97 are fixedly connected to the back of the overcurrent bridge 86 correspond to the two moving contact points 87 respectively, so that the elastic force of the two first elastic arms 97 can directly act on the two moving contact points 87, and the two moving contact points 87 can be more reliably closed with the corresponding stationary contact point 20.

[0238] In various embodiments, the elastic member 75 stores energy when the pushing member 70 moves in the disconnecting direction X2 due to deformation and releases energy when the pushing member 70 moves in the closing direction X1 due to recovery of the deformation, which can better help the moving contact group 72 to start from the disconnected position and approach the stationary contact group 7, and facilitates to increase the movement stroke of the moving contact group 72, so as to facilitate to increase the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7.

[0239] In various embodiments, the main body 98 of the elastic member 75 is in a sheet shape and is fixed relative to the pushing member 70, and the second elastic arms 101 extend to both sides of the Z-axis direction and can abut against the accommodating member 6, which can make the elastic member 75 occupy less space in the X-axis direction and have good elastic deformation capability, avoiding that when a spring is used as the elastic member 75, the compression length of the spring increases the size of the moving contact part 4 in the X-axis direction, so as to facilitate to reduce the size of the relay 1 in the X-axis direction, and thus can create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 in a limited space.

[0240] In various embodiments, by arranging the micro switch 5, the on-off state of the relay 1 can be known by an external relay state sensing circuit. This facilitates the management of the relay 1.

[0241] In various embodiments, the stationary contact terminal 110 is located between the moving spring 83 and the coil winding 41 in 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 in the Z-axis direction when the stationary contact terminal 110 is arranged outside the winding assembly 37 in the Z-axis direction, and create more favorable conditions for increasing the safety distance between the moving contact group 72 and the stationary contact group 7 in a limited space. The moving spring 83 is fixedly connected to the pushing member 70, which makes the position and action of the moving spring 83 more certain.

[0242] In each embodiment, by setting the shielding cover 39, the magnetic field of the coil assembly 37 is compressed in the iron core 43 and the yoke 44, the magnetic field intensity between the two magnetic driving ends 45 is improved, which is conducive to improving the magnetic efficiency and the pushing force of the magnetic circuit part 3, can 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, and can also avoid the influence of the magnetic circuit part 3 by the external magnetic field.
