[0041] One embodiment of the above invention has at least the following advantages or benefits:
[0042] 1. The magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure does not separately arrange other protruding structures on the armature, but only uses the window on the armature as the assembly and push-pull position of the push card, so that the push card can effectively connect the armature to form a whole. At the same time, the window has a distance greater than 0 with the edge of the armature in the second direction, and the structure arrangement makes the window arranged in the non-end region of the armature, which can reduce the size of the movable contact and the static contact in the second direction, reduce the space occupied by the contact assembly in the relay, improve the integration of the structural components in the relay, and then facilitate the miniaturization of the relay, and can achieve the purpose of reducing material consumption to reduce the preparation cost.
[0043] At the same time, the magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure can improve the stability of the driving process by the contact and disconnection operation of the movable contact and the static contact in the whole driving contact assembly formed by the connection of the armature and the push card, and can ensure the effective contact or disconnection of the movable contact and the static contact, thereby improving the structural performance of the magnetic latching relay.
[0044] Moreover, the magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure has a split structure of the armature and the permanent magnet, and does not need to be integrally insert-molded during preparation, so that the part is simple and easy to prepare, and the production efficiency and production quality of the part can be improved, and the preparation cost is reduced. Moreover, the armature and the permanent magnet can be assembled in an automatic assembly mode by using a single machine, so that the assembly difficulty is reduced and the assembly efficiency of the part is improved.
[0045] 2. The magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure has a window in the armature, which is used as a push card assembly and a push-pull position, so that at least part of the push card can pass through the window in the first state, and there is no scratching between the push card and the side wall of the window during the process. Moreover, the structure also allows the push card to effectively connect the armature to form a whole when switching to the second state.
[0046] 3. In the magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure, when the push card is switched from the first state to the second state, the armature is limited between the first push surface and the second push surface of the clamping recess in the first direction, so that the armature and the push card form a whole, and effectively drive the contact and disengagement operation of the moving contact and the static contact.
[0047] 4. In the magnetic latching relay provided by the present disclosure, the armature and the permanent magnet form a whole through the clamping plate assembly, so as to achieve integrated insertion of the magnetic circuit structure, and achieve the effects of extremely simple assembly process, simple part forming, low cost, etc.
[0048] At the same time, since the magnetic circuit structure is assembled with the base through the clamping plate assembly, the clamping plate assembly can reduce the risk of scratching as a transition piece connecting the magnetic circuit structure and the base. Moreover, during the assembly of the clamping plate assembly and the base, the clamping plate assembly made of plastic material contacts the base made of plastic material, which reduces the probability of scratching and the amount of scratching between the two, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter generated during the assembly process and improving the product quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0066] Example implementations are now described with reference to the drawings. Example implementations can, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the implementations set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example implementations to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the views, and thus a detailed description of them will not be repeated.
[0067] The magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes a magnetic circuit structure 100, a contact assembly 200, and a push card 300. The magnetic circuit structure 100 includes a yoke assembly 110, a permanent magnet 120, and an armature 130. The armature 130 is arranged opposite to at least part of the yoke assembly 110 to form a first direction X. The permanent magnet 120 is arranged between the armature 130 and the yoke assembly 110 along the first direction X. The permanent magnet 120 is arranged separately from the armature 130 and is fixed opposite to the yoke assembly 110. The armature 130 is provided with a window 131. The window 131 has a spacing greater than 0 with respect to the edge of the armature 130 along a second direction Z perpendicular to the first direction X. The contact assembly 200 is arranged on the side of the armature 130 away from the yoke assembly 110 along the first direction X. The contact assembly 200 includes a movable contact 210 and a fixed contact 220. The movable contact 210 can contact or be separated from the fixed contact 220. The push card 300 is inserted into the window 131 of the armature 130. The armature 130 contacts the movable contact 210 through the push card 300 to drive the movable contact 210 to contact or be separated from the fixed contact 220.
[0068] It can be understood that the shape of the armature 130 is not limited to the flat plate structure shown in FIG. 8. The armature 130 can also be L-shaped or N-shaped, as long as the armature 130 is arranged opposite to at least part of the yoke assembly 110 to form the first direction X, so that the permanent magnet 120 is arranged between the armature 130 and the yoke assembly 110 along the first direction X.
[0069] As an example, when the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied, the movable contact 210 can be separated from the fixed contact 220 by driving the push card 300 to move in one branch direction X1 of the first direction X by the armature 130. Conversely, the movable contact 210 can be contacted by the fixed contact 220 by driving the push card 300 to move in the other opposite branch direction X2 of the first direction X by the armature 130.
[0070] It should be noted that the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure does not separately provide other protruding structures on the armature 130, and only uses the window 131 on the armature 130 as the assembly and push-pull position of the push card 300, so that the push card 300 can effectively connect the armature 130 to form an integral whole. At the same time, the window 131 has a spacing greater than 0 with the edge of the armature 130 in the second direction Z. The structure is arranged such that the window 131 is arranged in the non-end region of the armature 130, which can reduce the size of the moving contact 210 and the static contact 220 in the second direction Z, reduce the space occupied by the contact assembly 200 in the relay, improve the integration of the structural components in the relay, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the relay, and achieving the purpose of reducing material consumption to reduce the preparation cost.
[0071] At the same time, the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can improve the stability of the driving process by forming an integral driving contact assembly 200 by connecting the armature 130 and the push card 300, and can effectively ensure the moving contact 210 to contact or separate from the static contact 220, thereby improving the structural performance of the magnetic latching relay.
[0072] Moreover, in the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 are of a split structure, and do not need to be integrally insert injection molded during preparation, so that the parts are simple and easy to manufacture, and the production efficiency and production quality of the parts can be improved, and the preparation cost can be reduced. Moreover, single machines can be used for automatic assembly when assembling the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120, which reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency of the parts.
[0073] It should be noted that if the second direction Z is defined as the vertical direction, the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the size of the static contact 220 and the moving contact 210 in the height direction, thereby achieving the purpose of low height and reducing material consumption.
[0074] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to the structure shown in FIGS. 5 to 11, the push card 300 has a first state and a second state relative to the armature 130, and the push card 300 is configured to at least partially penetrate from one side to the other side of the moving contact 210 through the window 131 in the first state. The push card 300 is configured to have a rotation angle greater than 0° relative to the first state in the second state, and the push card 300 is further configured to connect the armature 130 in the second state to move along the first direction X under the action of the armature 130.
[0075] In the assembly of the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the push card 300 can be rotated to switch the push card 300 from the first state to the second state, and then the armature 130 is connected. After the push card 300 connects the armature 130, the push card 300 can move in the first direction X under the action of the armature 130, and then drive the movable contact 210 to contact or separate from the static contact 220.
[0076] It should be noted that the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure sets the window 131 on the armature 130 as the assembly and push-pull position of the push card 300, so that at least part of the push card 300 can pass through the window 131 in the first state, and in the process, there is no scratching between the push card 300 and the side wall of the window 131. Moreover, this structure also allows the push card 300 to effectively connect the armature 130 to form a whole when switching to the second state.
[0077] It should be noted that the relay in the related art adopts a protruding structure on the swing arm of the armature 130 and is assembled into the push card 300 by interference fit. This interference fit method can cause the problem of scratching. The magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure sets the push card 300 to rotate relative to the armature 130 to switch from the first state to the second state, and there is no hard interference fit between the push card 300 and the armature 130 during the assembly process. This can avoid scratching between the push card 300 and the armature 130 during assembly, thereby reducing the amount of scratching between them and the amount of foreign matter generated during assembly, and improving product quality.
[0078] In the embodiments, the angle of the rotation angle can be set according to requirements. In order to improve the stability of the push card 300 in the second state and avoid the push card 300 from being mistakenly touched from the second state to the first state, in a preferred embodiment, the rotation angle is 90 degrees.
[0079] In an embodiment, the push card 300 is provided with a clamping recess A, and at least part of the armature 130 is arranged in the clamping recess A in the second state. The clamping recess A has a first pushing surface M1 and a second pushing surface M2 arranged opposite in the first direction X. The first pushing surface M1 is configured to push the side surface of the armature 130 towards the contact assembly 200 in the second state, and the second pushing surface M2 is configured to push the side surface of the armature 130 away from the contact assembly 200 in the second state.
[0080] It is to be noted that when the push card 300 is switched from the first state to the second state, the armature 130 is confined between the first pushing surface M1 and the second pushing surface M2 of the engaging recess A along the first direction X, so that the armature 130 and the push card 300 form an integral whole, effectively driving the contact and disengagement operation of the movable contact piece 210 and the stationary contact piece 220.
[0081] In one specific embodiment, please continue to refer to the structure shown in Figs. 8-11 in combination with Figs. 5-7, the push card 300 comprises a body portion 310, a connecting portion 320, and an engaging portion 330, the engaging portion 330 is connected to the body portion 310 through the connecting portion 320, and the body portion 310, the connecting portion 320, and the engaging portion 330 cooperatively form the engaging recess A; at least part of the connecting portion 320 is arranged in the window 131, and the engaging portion 330 is arranged to penetrate the window 131 in the first state.
[0082] It is to be noted that when the size of the engaging portion 330 is set, the engaging portion 330 should meet the requirements of penetrating the window 131 in the first state and engaging the surface of the armature 130 away from the contact assembly 200 in the second state.
[0083] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to the structure shown in Figs. 5-7, the push card 300 is provided with two engaging recesses A, and the two engaging recesses A are symmetrically arranged about the connecting portion 320 along a third direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Z.
[0084] It is to be noted that the symmetrical structure arrangement makes the push card 300 have the first pushing surface M1 and the second pushing surface M2 on both sides along the third direction Y. Specifically, when the armature 130 drives the push card 300 to move, the first pushing surface M1 or the second pushing surface M2 on both sides of the connecting portion 320 can stably play a role, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the armature 130 and the push card 300, and further improve the contact and disengagement effect of the movable contact piece 210 and the stationary contact piece 220.
[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in Fig. 11 in combination with Fig. 9, the armature 130 is provided with a stop protrusion 132, and the stop protrusion 132 is arranged on one side of the window 131 along the third direction Y, and the stop protrusion 132 is used to abut against the push card 300 in the second state, and the third direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Z.
[0086] It is to be noted that along the second direction Z, the stop protrusion 132 is used to abut against one side of the push card 300, so as to prevent the push card 300 from moving along the second direction Z, thereby improving the stability of the connection relationship between the two.
[0087] It is worth noting that, if the second direction Z represents the vertical direction, the stop protrusion 132 can be provided only at the bottom of the push card 300 to avoid the push card 300 from falling under the influence of gravity, affecting the state of the push card 300 after being connected with the armature 130, causing the push card 300 to displace in the second direction Z, affecting the contact and disengagement operation between the movable contact piece 210 and the static contact piece 220.
[0088] When arranging the position of the stop protrusion 132, the stop protrusion 132 can abut the engaging portion 330, the connecting portion 320 or the body portion 310 of the push card 300. In a preferred embodiment, the stop protrusion 132 is located on the side of the armature 130 facing the contact assembly 200, and the stop protrusion 132 is used to abut the body portion 310 of the push card 300 in the second state.
[0089] It should be noted that when the stop protrusion 132 is used to abut the body portion 310, the stop protrusion 132 is located at or near the middle position of the push card 300 in the first direction X, which can improve the stop effect and improve the stability of the armature 130 and the push card 300 after assembly.
[0090] Moreover, since the size of the body portion 310 is large, the structural strength is increased, which can avoid the body portion 310 from being broken or bent due to the stop protrusion 132, and can improve the service life.
[0091] In an embodiment, the armature 130 is provided with a recess structure 133 on the other side corresponding to the stop protrusion 132 in the first direction X, and the recess structure 133 is integrally stamped with the stop protrusion 132.
[0092] It should be noted that the forming method of integral stamping is simpler, which can reduce the preparation difficulty, reduce the preparation cost and improve the preparation efficiency.
[0093] In an embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 12 in combination with FIGS. 5 and 6, the movable contact piece 210 is located on the side of the static contact piece 220 facing the armature 130 in the first direction X; the push card 300 is located on the side of the contact assembly 200 in the second direction Z, and the body portion 310 of the push card 300 is provided with a clamping groove 311, and at least part of the movable contact piece 210 is placed in the clamping groove 311; so as to drive the movable contact piece 210 to move in the direction X1 or the direction X2 by the push card 300.
[0094] Further, a driving protrusion 312 can be arranged on the side of the body 310 facing the contact assembly 200, and the driving protrusion 312 is arranged on the side of the engaging groove 311 along the first direction X, so as to improve the driving effect of the card 300 on the movable contact 210. Preferably, the driving protrusion 312 is arranged between the engaging groove 311 and the armature 130, so as to avoid the contact position of the movable contact 210 and the static contact 220.
[0095] It is worth noting that the assembly form of the yoke assembly 110, the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be various, at least one of the following forms.
[0096] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to the structure shown in FIG. 12, an arc-shaped contact surface is arranged between the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120, the armature 130 contacts one side magnetic pole of the permanent magnet 120 through the arc-shaped contact surface, and the armature 130 is rotatably arranged relative to the permanent magnet 120 through the arc-shaped contact surface, so that the two ends of the armature 130 are alternately contacted and matched with the yoke assembly 110.
[0097] It is to be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure only includes one armature 130, and the armature 130 is generally a flat plate structure, which is not only light and convenient, but also can save parts and reduce cost.
[0098] Of course, a plurality of armatures 130 can also be arranged according to requirements, and the plurality of armatures 130 are arranged horizontally along the third direction Y under the premise of maintaining the consistency of the action, which will not be described in detail.
[0099] It is worth noting that when the arc-shaped contact surface is arranged between the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120, the form of the arc-shaped contact surface can be various. For example, the armature 130 is provided with a convex calyx 134 on the side facing the permanent magnet 120, the convex calyx 134 forms an arc-shaped contact surface, and the armature 130 contacts the permanent magnet 120 through the arc-shaped contact surface; or the permanent magnet 120 is provided with a convex calyx on the side facing the armature 130, the convex calyx forms an arc-shaped contact surface, and the armature 130 contacts the permanent magnet 120 through the arc-shaped contact surface.
[0100] When the convex calyx 134 is arranged on the armature 130, the convex calyx 134 and the armature 130 can be an integral structure, so as to improve the stability of the rotation of the armature 130. Of course, the armature 130 and the convex calyx 134 can also be arranged in a split structure according to requirements, which will not be described in detail here.
[0101] Similarly, the convex calyx and the permanent magnet 120 can be arranged in the form between the convex calyx 134 and the armature 130, which will not be described in detail here.
[0102] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the engaging portion 330 is provided with a first pushing surface M1 and a first inclined surface N1 on the side facing the armature 130, and the first inclined surface N1 is located on the side of the first pushing surface M1 close to the arc-shaped contact surface along the second direction Z; the body portion 310 is provided with a second pushing surface M2 and a second inclined surface N2 on the side facing the armature 130, and the second inclined surface N2 is located on the side of the second pushing surface M2 close to the arc-shaped contact surface along the second direction Z.
[0103] It should be noted that the first inclined surface N1 and the second inclined surface N2 can prevent the armature 130 from being stuck relative to the connecting portion 320 of the pusher 300 during oscillation, so that the armature 130 can function normally.
[0104] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 320 has a gap between at least one side in the second direction Z and the inner wall of the window 131 formed by the armature 130, so as to prevent the armature 130 from being stuck relative to the connecting portion 320 of the pusher 300 during oscillation, so that the armature 130 can function normally.
[0105] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises a clamping plate assembly 140, the clamping plate assembly 140 comprises two clamping plates 141, the two clamping plates 141 clamp the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 in a third direction Y, and the two clamping plates 141 limit the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 in a second direction Z; the third direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Z.
[0106] It should be noted that the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 in the embodiment of the present disclosure form a whole through the clamping plate assembly 140, so as to realize integrated insertion of the magnetic circuit structure 100, achieve extremely simple assembly process, simple part forming, low cost and the like.
[0107] At the same time, since the magnetic circuit structure 100 is assembled with the base 410 through the clamping plate assembly 140, the clamping plate assembly 140 serves as a transition piece connecting the magnetic circuit structure 100 and the base 410, which can reduce the risk of scratching. Moreover, during the assembly of the clamping plate assembly 140 and the base 410, the clamping plate assembly 140 made of plastic material contacts the base 410 made of plastic material, which reduces the probability of occurrence of scratching and the amount of scratching between the two, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter generated during the assembly process and improving the product quality.
[0108] It can be understood that the permanent magnet 120 and the armature 130 can be in direct contact, or a magnetic conducting piece can be arranged and indirectly contact through the magnetic conducting piece. Similarly, the permanent magnet 120 and the yoke assembly 110 can be in direct contact, or a magnetic conducting piece can be arranged and indirectly contact through the magnetic conducting piece.
[0109] It is worth noting that other fixing structures can be provided between the permanent magnet 120 and the yoke assembly 110, or the yoke assembly 110 can be attracted to the permanent magnet 120 by magnetization of the permanent magnet 120. For example, the permanent magnet 120 can be magnetized during assembly to ensure that the relative position of the permanent magnet 120 and the yoke assembly 110 meets the requirements, and then the assembly of other structural components is completed.
[0110] In one embodiment, a first positioning structure is provided between the clamping plate 141 and the permanent magnet 120, and the first positioning structure is used to limit the relative position of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z, so as to ensure that the permanent magnet 120 is assembled to a predetermined position and avoid the permanent magnet 120 from moving in the second direction Z during use, thereby improving the structural performance of the relay.
[0111] In one specific embodiment, the first positioning structure can be provided only on the surface of the clamping plate 141. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the first positioning structure includes a first protruding portion 1411 provided on the side of the clamping plate 141 facing the other clamping plate 141, and the first protruding portion 1411 abuts both sides of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z to limit the relative position of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z.
[0112] Specifically, in the present embodiment, two first protruding portions 1411 are provided on the surface of each clamping plate 141, and the two first protruding portions 1411 are oppositely arranged in the second direction Z to limit the relative arrangement of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z.
[0113] As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, in the present example, the first protruding portions 1411 at corresponding positions on the two clamping plates 141 cooperate with each other to improve the limiting effect on the permanent magnet 120. If the second direction Z in the embodiment of the present disclosure is the vertical direction, and the side of each structural component close to the base 410 is defined as the bottom. Then, the first protruding portion 1411 on one clamping plate 141 and the first protruding portion 1411 on the other clamping plate 141 jointly limit the bottom of the permanent magnet 120, and at the same time, the first protruding portion 1411 on one clamping plate 141 and the first protruding portion 1411 on the other clamping plate 141 jointly limit the top of the permanent magnet 120.
[0114] It should be noted that during assembly of the clamping plate assembly 140 and the permanent magnet 120, the two clamping plates 141 can be directly placed on both sides of the permanent magnet 120 for assembly operation, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0115] Of course, the first protruding portion 1411 can also be provided only on the clamping plate 141 located on one side of the permanent magnet 120, and the details are not described herein.
[0116] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first positioning structure can be partially provided on the surface of the permanent magnet 120 and partially provided on the surface of the clamping plate 141. Specifically, the first positioning structure comprises a concave portion and a convex portion which are matched with each other, and one of the convex portion and the concave portion is provided on the permanent magnet 120 and the other is provided on the clamping plate 141.
[0117] For example, the permanent magnet 120 is provided with a convex portion which is inserted into a concave portion of the clamping plate 141 to limit the relative position of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z. Alternatively, the clamping plate 141 is provided with a convex portion which is inserted into a concave portion of the permanent magnet 120 to limit the relative position of the permanent magnet 120 in the second direction Z.
[0118] In order to facilitate the assembly of the permanent magnet 120 into the limiting space formed by the first protruding portion 1411, a guide inclined surface (not shown) can be provided on the first protruding portion 1411 as shown in FIG. 13 to facilitate the insertion of the permanent magnet 120 and avoid the sharp corner of the first protruding portion 1411 scratching the permanent magnet 120 and affecting the performance of the permanent magnet 120.
[0119] Please continue to refer to the structure shown in FIG. 13. In order to improve the clamping effect of the clamping plate assembly 140 on the permanent magnet 120 in the third direction Y, in one embodiment, the clamping plate 141 is provided with a pushing portion 1412 on the side facing the other clamping plate 141 to push the side surface of the permanent magnet 120 in the third direction Y.
[0120] It is worth noting that the pushing portion 1412 is arranged between and connected to the two first protruding portions 1411 of the same clamping plate 141 as shown in FIG. 13 to improve the structural strength of the clamping plate 141.
[0121] Please refer to the structures shown in FIGS. 12 and 14 in combination with FIG. 13. Since the two clamping plates 141 are located on both sides of the armature 130 in the third direction Y, the clamping plate assembly 140 can limit the maximum displacement of the armature 130 in the third direction Y. When the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 are separately arranged, the armature 130 is attracted by the permanent magnet 120 and will not fall off, and the permanent magnet 120 does not need to be pressed and limited in the first direction X by the armature 130. However, during the assembly process, the assembly operation of the armature 130 can be earlier than the magnetizing operation of the permanent magnet 120. Therefore, in one embodiment, a second positioning structure is provided between the clamping plate 141 and the armature 130, and the second positioning structure is used to limit the relative position of the armature 130 in the second direction Z.
[0122] It should be noted that this structure allows the armature 130 to be effectively positioned by the clamping plate assembly 140, and the assembly sequence of the armature 130 can be earlier than the magnetizing step of the permanent magnet 120, so that the position of the permanent magnet 120 can be adjusted according to the needs before magnetizing, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0123] It is worth noting that there are many possibilities for the structure of the second positioning structure in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0124] In a specific embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 14 in combination with FIG. 13, the second positioning structure includes a groove 1413 provided on one side of the clamping plate 141 facing the other clamping plate 141 and a second protruding part 135 provided on the surface of the armature 130, the second protruding part 135 is placed in the groove 1413 matched with it, and the armature 130 can rotate relative to the inner wall of the groove 1413 through the second protruding part 135.
[0125] It should be noted that in this specific embodiment, the second protruding part 135 on the surface of the armature 130 is placed in the groove 1413 on the clamping plate 141 matched with the second protruding part 135, and the groove 1413 can limit the second protruding part 135 in the first direction X and the second direction Z, thereby limiting the relative position of the armature 130 in the first direction X and the second direction Z.
[0126] It is worth noting that, as shown in FIG. 15, along the first direction X and the second direction Z, the second protruding part 135 and the inner wall of the groove 1413 both have gaps to ensure the rotation effect of the second protruding part 135 and avoid jamming.
[0127] In order to further optimize the rotation effect of the second protruding part 135 relative to the groove 1413 and avoid jamming, as an example, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 15 in combination with FIG. 14, the inner wall of the groove 1413 formed by the clamping plate 141 includes first, second, third and fourth extension segments P1, P2, P3 and P4 connected in sequence, wherein the first and third extension segments P1 and P3 are oppositely arranged in the second direction Z, the second and fourth extension segments P2 and P4 are oppositely arranged in the first direction X, the second, third and fourth extension segments P2, P3 and P4 are straight segments, the fourth extension segment P4 is located on the side of the second extension segment P2 away from the permanent magnet 120, and the fourth extension segment P4 is a curved segment protruding away from the permanent magnet 120. The second protruding part 135 of the armature 130 includes first, second, third and fourth surfaces Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, the first and third surfaces Q1 and Q3 are oppositely arranged in the second direction Z, the second and fourth surfaces Q2 and Q4 are oppositely arranged in the first direction X, the fourth surface Q4 is located on the side of the armature 130 away from the permanent magnet 120, and the first surface Q1 and the fourth surface Q4 have an inclined surface Q5 therebetween, and the third surface Q3 and the fourth surface Q4 have an inclined surface Q6 therebetween.
[0128] It is worth noting that during the rotation of the armature 130, the inclined surfaces Q5 and Q6 are used to prevent rotation jamming.
[0129] Of course, a groove structure can also be provided on the armature 130 according to requirements, and a protrusion structure can be provided on the clamping plate 141, which will not be described in detail.
[0130] In one embodiment, the groove 1413 penetrates through the clamping plate 141 on opposite sides in the third direction Y, i.e., the groove 1413 is a through groove. At this time, the second protrusion part 135 does not protrude beyond the side surface of the clamping plate 141 away from the other clamping plate 141, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty and avoid the second protrusion part 135 from scratching the base 410, which can further reduce the risk of scratching and reduce the assembly difficulty.
[0131] Of course, the groove 1413 can also be provided with an opening only on the side of the clamping plate 141 facing the armature 130, which will not be described in detail.
[0132] In one embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 14 in combination with FIG. 13, the third positioning structure is provided between the clamping plate 141 and the yoke assembly 110, and the yoke assembly 110 is fixed to the clamping plate assembly 140 through the third positioning structure.
[0133] It should be noted that the yoke assembly 110, the permanent magnet 120 and the armature 130 are integrated through the clamping plate assembly 140 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, which can further improve the integration of the structural parts in the magnetic circuit structure 100, reduce the assembly difficulty of the magnetic circuit structure 100 and the base 410, and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0134] It is worth noting that since the yoke assembly 110 is also fixed by the clamping plate assembly 140 in the embodiments, when assembling the magnetic latching relay provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the components can be assembled first, and then the permanent magnet 120 is magnetized and adsorbed on the surface of the yoke assembly 110. At the same time, the armature 130 is attracted by the permanent magnet 120 and will not fall off. Accordingly, when the armature 130 and the permanent magnet 120 are separately arranged, the permanent magnet 120 does not need to be pressed and limited by the armature 130 in the first direction X.
[0135] In one embodiment, the third positioning structure includes a protrusion part 114 and a recess part 1414 which are matched with each other, one of the protrusion part 114 and the recess part 1414 is arranged on the clamping plate 141, and the other is arranged on the yoke assembly 110. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the surface of the clamping plate 141 is provided with the recess part 1414, and the surface of the yoke assembly 110 is provided with the protrusion part 114, and the protrusion part 114 is arranged in the corresponding recess part 1414.
[0136] It is worth noting that the surface of the clamping plate 141 can be provided with one or more recesses 1414, and correspondingly, the surface of the yoke assembly 110 can be provided with one or more corresponding protrusions 114 to improve the relative stability of the yoke assembly 110 and the clamping plate assembly 140 after assembly. Even, the number of recesses 1414 on the surface of the clamping plate 141 can be greater than the number of protrusions 114 on the surface of the yoke assembly 110 to broaden the application scenarios, which will not be described in detail.
[0137] Please continue to refer to the structures shown in FIGS. 12-14. In one specific embodiment, the recess 1414 can extend through the clamping plate 141 in the third direction Y, so that the protrusion 114 is effectively inserted into the recess 1414, thereby improving the relative stability of the yoke assembly 110 and the clamping plate assembly 140 after assembly.
[0138] At the same time, when the recess 1414 extends through the clamping plate 141 in the third direction Y, it can be observed in time whether the protrusion 114 is assembled in place to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0139] In one embodiment, the magnetic latching relay provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further includes a base 410, and the magnetic circuit structure 100 is fixed to the base 410 through the clamping plate assembly 140.
[0140] It should be noted that since the magnetic circuit structure 100 is assembled with the base 410 through the clamping plate assembly 140, the clamping plate assembly 140 acts as a transition piece connecting the magnetic circuit structure 100 and the base 410, which can reduce the risk of scratching. Moreover, during the assembly of the clamping plate assembly 140 and the base 410, the clamping plate assembly 140 made of plastic material contacts the base 410 made of plastic material, which reduces the probability of occurrence of scratching and the amount of scratching between the two, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter generated during assembly and improving product quality.
[0141] To solve the problem that the assembled magnetic circuit structure 100 is prone to move along the second direction Z, causing the product pin to become shorter, in one embodiment, an anti-disengagement structure is provided between the clamping plate 141 and the base 410 to prevent the magnetic circuit structure 100 from disengaging from the base 410.
[0142] In one specific embodiment, the anti-disengagement structure includes a fixed groove provided on the base 410 and a protruding portion provided on the clamping plate 141, and the protruding portion and the fixed groove are in interference fit.
[0143] It should be noted that the magnetic circuit structure 100 is fixed between the clamping plate 141 and the base 410 by setting the protruding portion and the fixed groove in interference fit, which can improve the stability of the clamping plate assembly 140 after assembly relative to the base 410 and prevent the magnetic circuit structure 100 from disengaging from the base 410.
[0144] Moreover, since the magnetic circuit structure 100 realizes the fixing operation of the clamping plate 141 and the base 410 through the protruding portion and the fixed groove, the interference fit between the clamping plate 141 and the surrounding plate 412 of the base 410 can be avoided, and the possibility of scratching between the clamping plate 141 and the surrounding plate 412 of the base 410 can be reduced. Meanwhile, during the assembly of the clamping plate assembly 140 and the base 410, the clamping plate assembly 140 made of plastic material contacts the base 410 made of plastic material, the probability of the occurrence of the scratching phenomenon can be reduced, the amount of scratching between the clamping plate assembly 140 and the base 410 can be reduced, the amount of foreign matter generated during the assembly can be reduced, and the product quality can be improved.
[0145] In another specific embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 16 in combination with FIG. 13, the anti-disengagement structure includes the fixed groove provided on the base 410 and the protruding portion 1415 provided on the clamping plate 141. The fixed groove is a through groove, the protruding portion 1415 extends from the fixed groove to the surface of the permanent magnet 120 side and extends to the opposite side, and the part of the protruding portion 1415 extending out of the fixed groove is provided with a barb 1416, and the barb 1416 is engaged with the surface of the fixed groove away from the permanent magnet 120.
[0146] During assembly, the protruding portion 1415 with the barb 1416 can be inserted into the fixed groove. After the barb 1416 extends out of the surface of the fixed groove on the other side, the barb 1416 can be engaged with the surface of the fixed groove away from the permanent magnet 120, so as to further improve the engagement strength between the clamping plate 141 and the base 410, and avoid the protruding portion 1415 from disengaging from the fixed groove.
[0147] It is worth noting that in order to facilitate the barb 1416 to pass through the fixed groove during assembly, the inner wall of the fixed groove can be provided with a first guide slope, and the barb 1416 is provided with a corresponding second guide slope towards the position of the first guide slope, so as to reduce the amount of scratching between the first guide slope and the second guide slope, thereby reducing the amount of foreign matter generated during the assembly, improving the product quality.
[0148] In one embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 14 in combination with FIG. 16, the base 410 includes a seat body 411 and a surrounding plate 412 extending from the seat body 411, the surrounding plate 412 forms a surrounding space, and at least part of the magnetic circuit structure 100 is located in the surrounding space.
[0149] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the magnetic circuit structure 100 forms a whole through the clamping plate assembly 140. When the magnetic circuit structure 100 is assembled in the surrounding space, the magnetic circuit structure 100 and the surrounding plate 412 do not need to be interference fit, the probability of the occurrence of the scratching phenomenon can be reduced, the amount of scratching between the magnetic circuit structure 100 and the surrounding plate 412 can be reduced, the amount of foreign matter generated during the assembly can be reduced, and the product quality can be improved.
[0150] In one embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 14 in combination with FIGS. 13 and 16, the containment plate 412 is provided with a guide chute 4121 extending along the second direction Z on both sides of the containment plate 412 in the third direction Y; the clamping plate 141 is provided with a guide protrusion 1417 on the side away from the other clamping plate 141, and the guide protrusion 1417 is placed in the guide chute 4121 to ensure that the magnetic circuit structure 100 is assembled in place and the assembly difficulty is reduced.
[0151] Specifically, since the clamping plate 141 is designed in a symmetrical manner, the clamping plate 141 can be assembled on one side or the opposite side of the permanent magnet 120 along the third direction Y, which can reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0152] In order to prevent the magnetic circuit structure 100 from shaking during assembly, in one embodiment, please continue to refer to the structure shown in FIG. 14 in combination with FIGS. 13 and 16, the clamping plate 141 is provided with a clamping protrusion 1418 which protrudes from the surface of the guide protrusion 1417 in the first direction X and is clamped to the inner wall surface of the guide chute 4121.
[0153] In one embodiment, the clamping plate 141 is symmetrically arranged about the guide protrusion 1417 in the first direction X. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the first protruding part 1411, the pushing part 1412, the groove 1413, the recess 1414, the protruding part 1415 and the barb 1416 and other structures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide protrusion 1417 to facilitate the use of the clamping plate 141 during assembly.
[0154] Please continue to refer to the structure shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, the magnetic circuit structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises a coil holder 150 and a coil 160 wound on the surface of the coil holder 150.
[0155] In order to prevent the shell assembly 400 from deviating and tilting during assembly, causing the coil 160 to collide with the shell assembly 400 and break. In one embodiment, please refer to the structure shown in FIG. 3 in combination with FIG. 16, the seat body 411 is provided with a placement cavity 4111, at least part of the contact assembly 200 is placed in the placement cavity 4111, and a limiting groove 4112 is provided between the seat body 411 forming the placement cavity 4111 and the containment plate 412, the limiting groove 4112 extends in the second direction Z, which ensures that the shell assembly 400 will not cause the coil 160 to break during assembly, reducing the process quality risk.
[0156] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be understood that the shell assembly 400 comprises a base 410 and a shell 420, and the magnetic circuit structure 100 is placed in the space formed by the shell 420 and the base 410.
[0157] In one embodiment, the yoke assembly 110 includes a first contact portion 111, a second contact portion 112, and a third contact portion 113, the first contact portion 111 is disposed opposite to the second contact portion 112 along the second direction Z, and the third contact portion 113 is disposed between the first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112; the first contact portion 111 is configured to contact and cooperate with one end of the armature 130 to form a first contact surface, the second contact portion 112 is configured to contact and cooperate with the other end of the armature 130 to form a second contact surface, and the second contact surface is disposed coplanarly with the first contact surface; and the permanent magnet 120 is fixed to the third contact portion 113. It can be understood that in the specific embodiment, the first contact portion 111, the second contact portion 112, and the third contact portion 113 can be understood as three yoke irons.
[0158] It is worth noting that, as shown in FIG. 12, the first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112 extend beyond the third contact portion 113 along the first direction X, and the first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112 have a gap along the second direction Z, so as to facilitate the fixation of the permanent magnet 120 on the surface of the third contact portion 113.
[0159] It should be noted that, in the design scheme of the three yoke irons and the armature 130, one permanent magnet 120 is exposed, and the positioning and limiting of the permanent magnet 120 are achieved by the cooperation of the two side clamping plates 141 and the yoke irons. Among them, the support surface of the rotation of the armature 130 is the surface of the permanent magnet 120, and the first contact surface and the second contact surface cooperate to complete the entire magnetic circuit lapping. Accordingly, the use of the clamping plate 141 can not only better position and limit the permanent magnet 120, but also avoid generating scrapes with the base 410 during the assembly of the magnetic circuit.
[0160] The first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112 are located on opposite sides of the coil 160 along the second direction Z and are fixed in position relative to the coil 160. It can be understood that "the first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112 are fixed in position relative to the coil 160" means that after the first contact portion 111 and the second contact portion 112 are assembled relative to the coil 160, the probability of relative movement is very small. For example, taking the first contact portion 111 as an example, the first contact portion 111 and the coil 160 can be directly fixed and connected (such as riveting) through certain structural members to achieve position fixation; or the first contact portion 111 and the coil 160 can be positionally fixed through certain structural members in a plug-in or lapping manner. Of course, other limiting structures can also be provided between the first contact portion 111 and the coil 160 to achieve position fixation, and details are not described herein.
[0161] When the coil 160 is energized, the armature 130 swings under the joint action of the permanent magnet 120 and the yoke assembly 110, and one end of the armature 130 contacts the first contact portion 111. When the coil 160 is de-energized, the armature 130 swings reversely, and the other end of the armature 130 contacts the second contact portion 112.
[0162] For example, the yoke assembly 110 includes the core, and the core and the first contact portion 111 can be in an integrated structure or in a segmented structure. For example, when the core and the first contact portion 111 are in a segmented structure, the core can pass through the coil holder 150, and then the first contact portion 111 is riveted to the side end of the core. Then, the armature 130, the permanent magnet 120, and the yoke assembly 110 including the contact portions and the core can be assembled by the clamping plate assembly 140 to form an integrated whole.
[0163] For example, the yoke assembly 110 does not include the core, and the yoke assembly 110 only includes the contact portions. The armature 130, the permanent magnet 120, and the contact portions can be assembled to form an integrated whole, and then the core is assembled.
[0164] In one embodiment, along the second direction Z, the engaging portion 330 is disposed between the first contact portion 111 and the permanent magnet 120, and along the first direction X, the engaging portion 330 has a gap with the third contact portion 113.
[0165] It should be noted that the structure in the embodiment utilizes the gap between the armature 130 and the yoke assembly 110 to meet the push-pull displacement of the push-pull rod 300, which can improve the space utilization of the relay and meet the miniaturization design requirement of the relay.
