[0033] From the above description of the present disclosure and the preferred embodiments thereof, it can be known that, compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the present disclosure and the preferred embodiments thereof have the following beneficial effects due to the following technical means:
[0034] The inventor of the present disclosure knows through continuous observation, experiment and research that, in the prior art, the reason for causing the technical problem of "the structure of the accommodating part of the magnetic retention relay is usually relatively complex and large in size" is that the auxiliary static contact needs to bear the abutting force of the auxiliary movable contact, and therefore needs to maintain sufficient strength and stability, and in order to ensure the strength of the auxiliary static contact, the accommodating part usually needs to be additionally provided with a mounting structure to fix and support the auxiliary static contact, which on the one hand makes the structure of the accommodating part more complex, is not easy to be formed and save materials, and on the other hand also causes the size of the accommodating part to increase, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the magnetic retention relay to better meet the use requirements.
[0035] Since the yoke is usually fixed to the end face of the coil winding and is fixedly inserted into the accommodating member together with the coil winding, in the first aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the yoke, so that the auxiliary static contact can be installed and positioned simultaneously when the yoke is installed, thereby avoiding the need to install the auxiliary static contact again, facilitating assembly, and solving the problem of difficult assembly and positioning of small parts. In addition, the problem of easy chipping of the auxiliary static contact during installation of the base can be avoided. More preferably, the stability of the yoke and the coil body on the base is utilized to directly support the auxiliary static contact by the yoke to obtain strength and stability, so that a mounting structure does not need to be formed on the accommodating member, the structure of the accommodating member is simple, easy to form and saves materials. In addition, it is also beneficial to reduce the volume of the accommodating member and the miniaturization design of the magnetic latching relay to better meet the use requirements and reduce costs.
[0036] In the first aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, since only the auxiliary moving contact needs to be installed, the original situation of providing two installation positions on the accommodating member for the installation of the auxiliary static contact and the auxiliary moving contact is changed to only one installation position, and the installation of the auxiliary moving contact only needs to consider that the auxiliary moving contact can be reliably separated and other structures that can avoid the armature assembly and the coil assembly, so that the space for the overall installation of the auxiliary monitoring switch is effectively reduced without increasing the volume of the accommodating member. In addition, the auxiliary monitoring switch in the present technical solution occupies less space compared to the auxiliary monitoring switch standard part, and the position of the terminal of the auxiliary monitoring switch can be adjusted as needed, and the structure design is simpler.
[0037] In the second aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the first side of the auxiliary static contact portion is used to abut against the auxiliary moving contact, and the second side opposite to the first side abuts against the yoke. When the auxiliary moving contact abuts against the auxiliary static contact portion, the auxiliary static contact portion is supported by the yoke, further improving the stability of the auxiliary moving contact in the contact direction of the auxiliary moving contact, and making the abutment of the auxiliary moving contact and the auxiliary static contact reliable.
[0038] In the third aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the coil assembly includes a coil winding arranged on one side of the armature assembly along the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the side of the yoke away from the coil winding. Compared to being fixed to the side of the yoke facing the coil winding, the auxiliary static contact is more easily avoided from the coil winding, and the distance between the coil winding and the armature assembly (along the X-axis direction) can not be too large, thereby reducing the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the X-axis direction.
[0039] In the fourth aspect and the preferred embodiments, the yoke iron is provided with a magnetic driving segment extending perpendicularly to the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the side of the magnetic driving segment away from the coil winding. The magnetic driving segment has a large surface area, which helps to improve the connection strength and stability of the auxiliary static contact after being fixed to the magnetic driving segment. In addition, compared with the form in which the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the connecting segment of the yoke iron, the auxiliary monitoring switch occupies less space in the Y-axis direction. The auxiliary moving contact is adapted to be closed or disconnected with the auxiliary static contact in the X-axis direction, so that when the auxiliary moving contact is closed with the auxiliary static contact, the auxiliary static contact can be supported by the magnetic driving segment, and the structure is more stable.
[0040] In the fifth aspect and the preferred embodiments, the auxiliary static contact part is a flat sheet that is parallel to the magnetic driving segment, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation space of the auxiliary static contact part in the X-axis direction, so as to avoid interference with the movement of the armature assembly.
[0041] In the sixth aspect and the preferred embodiments, the connection between the magnetic driving segment and the connecting segment has a circular arc transition surface, and the position where the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the magnetic driving segment avoids the circular arc transition surface, so that the auxiliary static contact and the yoke iron have a larger connection area, and the fixing strength of the auxiliary static contact and the yoke iron is improved.
[0042] In the seventh aspect and the preferred embodiments, the yoke iron extends along the Z-axis direction; the position where the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the magnetic driving segment is close to the first end of the yoke iron in the Z-axis direction. Compared with being arranged close to the middle part of the yoke iron, the auxiliary static contact is more likely to avoid the armature assembly in the Z-axis direction, and it is also easier to realize the fixing operation of the auxiliary static contact and the yoke iron.
[0043] In the eighth aspect and the preferred embodiments, at the first end of the yoke iron, the magnetic driving segment is provided with a protruding part protruding in the Z-axis direction relative to the connecting segment, and the auxiliary static contact is at least partially fixed to the protruding part. On the one hand, the auxiliary static contact is more likely to avoid the armature assembly in the Z-axis direction, and on the other hand, the fixing position is more likely to avoid the circular arc transition surface of the yoke iron, so that the connection between the auxiliary static contact and the yoke iron is more stable. In addition, the auxiliary static contact and the yoke iron have a larger connection area, and the fixing strength is improved.
[0044] In the ninth aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion form a clearance suitable for avoiding the armature assembly; the second connecting portion is farther away from the first end of the yoke than the first connecting portion; in the Y-axis direction, the second connecting portion is closer to the arc transition surface of the yoke than the first connecting portion; the first connecting portion is fixed to the yoke; and the auxiliary static contact is arranged on the second connecting portion, which on one hand makes the auxiliary static contact more easily avoid the armature assembly in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, and on the other hand makes the first connecting portion farther away from the arc transition surface of the yoke, thereby improving the connection stability of the first connecting portion and the yoke; in addition, the second connecting portion arranged closer to the arc transition surface is beneficial to avoiding the interference of the second connecting portion to the movement of the armature assembly.
[0045] In the tenth aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contact further comprises a static lead-out terminal and a bending portion, the bending portion extends along the X-axis direction, is connected between the first connecting portion and the static lead-out terminal, and is located on one side of the connecting section in the Z-axis direction, which on one hand makes full use of the space on one side of the connecting section in the Z-axis direction to avoid the auxiliary static contact expanding the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the Z-axis direction; and on the other hand makes the static lead-out terminal close to the coil assembly, thereby being more beneficial to realizing the electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly and the auxiliary monitoring switch) of the magnetic latching relay and the strong current terminals (mainly referring to the connecting terminals of the contact part below) of the magnetic latching relay; in addition, the static lead-out terminal is connected to the bending portion, which is beneficial to saving the length of the bending portion, saving materials and costs.
[0046] In the eleventh aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, when the auxiliary moving contact is in contact with the auxiliary static contact, the auxiliary static contact has an electrical path, the position where the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the magnetic driving section is located outside the electrical path, and when the auxiliary monitoring switch is closed, the current does not pass through the position where the auxiliary static contact is fixed to the magnetic driving section to enter the yoke, so that the current of the auxiliary monitoring switch can be prevented from affecting the magnetic loop in the yoke without the need of arranging an insulating structure between the auxiliary static contact and the magnetic driving section, thereby reducing the complexity of the structure.
[0047] In the twelfth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contact further comprises a static lead-out terminal and a bent portion, the bent portion extends along the X-axis direction, is connected between the auxiliary static contact portion and the static lead-out terminal, and is located on one side of the connecting section along the Z-axis direction. On the one hand, the space on the one side of the connecting section along the Z-axis direction is fully utilized to avoid the auxiliary static contact from expanding the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the Z-axis direction. On the other hand, the static lead-out terminal is close to the coil assembly, thereby being more conducive to achieving electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly and the auxiliary monitoring switch) of the magnetic latching relay and the strong current terminals (mainly referring to the connecting terminals of the contact portion in the following) of the magnetic latching relay. In addition, the static lead-out terminal is connected to the bent portion, thereby being conducive to saving the length of the bent portion and saving materials and costs.
[0048] In the thirteenth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contact is located between the position where the auxiliary static contact portion is fixed to the magnetic driving section and the circular-arc transition surface along the Y-axis direction, thereby being conducive to achieving that the position where the auxiliary static contact portion is fixed to the magnetic driving section is located outside the electrical path and making the fixed position further away from the circular-arc transition surface of the yoke. The connection between the auxiliary static contact and the yoke is more stable.
[0049] In the fourteenth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the magnetic driving section of the yoke is punched to form an installation groove with an opening away from the coil winding and a riveting portion protruding from the installation groove, and the auxiliary static contact is installed in the installation groove and is provided with a riveting hole matched with the riveting portion. The punching process makes the riveting portion have a greater length in the X-axis direction, thereby making the auxiliary static contact have a greater thickness and having a smaller occupied space in the X-axis direction when applied to the magnetic latching relay.
[0050] In the fifteenth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contact is riveted to the yoke, thereby being simpler in process and more stable in structure.
[0051] In the sixteenth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the riveting hole is a counterbore, and the riveting portion does not protrude out of the riveting hole, thereby being more conducive to reducing the occupied space of the auxiliary static contact portion in the X-axis direction.
[0052] In the seventeenth aspect and the preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary moving contact is provided with an auxiliary moving spring member extending along the Z-axis direction. Compared with the auxiliary moving spring member extending along the Y-axis direction, the auxiliary monitoring switch has a smaller occupied space in the Y-axis direction, and the force arm of the auxiliary moving contact is longer, thereby being conducive to reducing stress concentration and improving service life.
[0053] In technical solution eighteen and preferred embodiments thereof, the auxiliary static contactor has at least two auxiliary static contact points, each of which is located at the same height along the Z-axis direction; the auxiliary moving spring member has contact branches equal in number to and corresponding to the auxiliary static contact points, each of which is fixedly connected to the fixed part at one end and has an auxiliary moving contact point adapted to abut against the auxiliary static contact point at the other end; and each contact branch is formed with an oscillating part at the end away from the fixed part. On the one hand, the arrangement of the plurality of auxiliary moving and static contact points can improve the reliability of the closing of the auxiliary monitoring switch and is also conducive to the processing of the auxiliary moving contact member and the auxiliary static contact member; on the other hand, it is also conducive to the deformation of the auxiliary moving contact member along the X-axis direction, improving the reliability of the closing and the service life. The fact that each auxiliary static contact point is located at the same height along the Z-axis direction makes the contact pressure of each auxiliary moving contact point and each auxiliary static contact point consistent.
[0054] In technical solution nineteen and preferred embodiments thereof, one end of the pushing part is fixedly connected to the oscillating part, and the other end is adapted to be driven by the armature assembly, so that the whole auxiliary moving contact member is closer to the side where the armature assembly is located only through the pushing part. The auxiliary moving spring member can be arranged closer to the side where the auxiliary static contact member is located, so as to avoid affecting the movement of the armature assembly. Since the pushing part is located at one end of the auxiliary moving contact member, the driving structure for driving the pushing part only needs to be arranged on one side of the armature assembly along the Z-axis direction, and the other positions of the armature assembly along the Z-axis direction can be well used for avoiding the auxiliary moving spring member.
[0055] In technical solution twenty and preferred embodiments thereof, the fixed part is fixedly connected to the bottom wall, which is easy to install and makes the length between the oscillating part and the fixed end of the auxiliary moving spring member longer, which is more conducive to reducing the stress concentration phenomenon of the auxiliary moving spring member and improving the service life.
[0056] In technical solution twenty-one and preferred embodiments thereof, the moving lead-out part is located on the side of the fixed part facing the auxiliary static contact member, one end of which is fixedly connected to the fixed part, and the other end is close to the bending part and connected to the moving lead-out terminal. On the one hand, the moving lead-out terminal can be installed close to the signal terminal of the coil assembly, which is conducive to achieving electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly and the auxiliary monitoring switch) of the magnetic latching relay and the strong current terminals (mainly the connection terminals of the contact part in the following) of the magnetic latching relay. On the other hand, it can also avoid the influence of the multiple grooves of the accommodating member of the magnetic latching relay on the strength of the accommodating member. The static lead-out terminal and the moving lead-out terminal both extend along the Y-axis direction and are flush in the Z-axis direction. On the one hand, the static lead-out terminal and the moving lead-out terminal do not need to be bent complicatedly, which reduces the molding difficulty, material cost and improves the service life. On the other hand, the wiring path on the PCB board is simpler.
[0057] In the twenty-second aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, the movable lead-out portion is a flat sheet in the vertical Y-axis direction, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the movable lead-out portion in the Y-axis direction, and the accommodating member is provided with a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the first limiting portion is used to limit the displacement of the fixed portion along the X-axis direction, and the second limiting portion cooperates with the first side wall to limit the displacement of the movable lead-out portion along the Y-axis direction, so that the auxiliary movable contact is limited in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, further improving the structural stability of the auxiliary movable contact, and this also means that the movable lead-out portion abuts against the first side wall, and the first side wall can limit the movable lead-out portion and improve its strength.
[0058] In the twenty-third aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, the armature assembly rotates around the rotation axis extending along the Z-axis direction, and the coil assembly includes a coil winding extending along the Y-axis direction and two yokes arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the entire magnetic circuit system has simple structure, reasonable layout and small space occupation.
[0059] In the twenty-fourth aspect and preferred embodiments thereof, generally, if the armature assembly drives the movable contact to move by driving a separate push card, the region on the side of the yoke facing the contact portion along the X-axis direction is generally used as the movement space of the push card. If an auxiliary monitoring switch needs to be installed on the side of the armature along the Y-axis direction, a swing arm needs to be led out from the armature assembly to push the auxiliary monitoring switch, and the swing arm also needs to bypass the armature in the armature assembly, resulting in a more complex structure, large material consumption and large volume occupation. In the present technical solution, the driving portion and the auxiliary pushing portion are integrally formed on the armature assembly, so that by reasonable design and processing, the driving portion can avoid the space for installing the auxiliary monitoring switch, and at the same time, the auxiliary pushing portion with small structure is used to drive the auxiliary movable contact in the auxiliary monitoring switch to move, which has simple structure, less material consumption, good molding and no need to increase the volume of the magnetic latching relay. In the present technical solution, the driving portion and the auxiliary pushing portion are integrally arranged on the armature assembly, which has simple structure, easy molding and is beneficial to reduce the production cost. In addition, the driving portion and the auxiliary pushing portion are stable relative to the armature assembly, so as to reduce the shaking of the movable contact and the auxiliary movable contact during breaking, avoid affecting the arc striking characteristics of the breaking arc, reduce the hazards of contact ablation and uncontrolled arc ablation of other components, etc.
[0060] In the technical solution twenty-five and the preferred embodiments thereof, the contact part and the coil winding are respectively located on two sides of the first plane along the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary static contact is fixed to one of the yokes, so that the contact part is away from the coil winding and the auxiliary monitoring switch along the X-axis direction, and the electrical distance between the weak current terminal of the coil assembly, the weak current terminal of the auxiliary monitoring switch and the strong current terminal of the contact part is kept in a larger range, thereby improving the electrical isolation problem and facilitating the realization of the isolation of the strong and weak current terminals. The side of the armature assembly away from the coil winding is provided with an auxiliary pushing part and a driving part, which is beneficial to avoid the auxiliary monitoring switch. The auxiliary pushing part is suitable for directly driving the auxiliary moving contact. Compared with the scheme of providing a pushing card between the auxiliary pushing part and the auxiliary moving contact, the space required along the Y-axis direction is smaller, and the problem of jamming after long-term operation of the pushing card is avoided.
[0061] In the technical solution twenty-six and the preferred embodiments thereof, in the magnetic holding state, the two armatures respectively have one attraction part attracting the corresponding magnetic driving segment to form a closed magnetic loop passing through the two magnetic driving segments. The closed magnetic loop passes through one magnetic pole of the permanent magnet, one attraction part, one magnetic driving segment, the core, the other magnetic driving segment and the other attraction part, and returns to the other magnetic pole of the permanent magnet. Compared with the closed magnetic loop passing through only one magnetic driving segment, the closed magnetic loop of the present technical solution has a larger magnetic attraction force and a more stable magnetic circuit. When the coil assembly is powered off, the permanent magnet can still keep the attraction part and the magnetic driving segment attracted. The insulating part is provided with an auxiliary pushing part and a driving part, which is easy to process and form.
[0062] In the technical solution twenty-seven and the preferred embodiments thereof, since the auxiliary monitoring switch is located between the contact part and the coil winding along the X-axis direction, and the static lead-out terminal and the moving lead-out terminal are also located between the signal terminal and the connection terminal along the X-axis direction, the creepage distance between the signal terminal and the connection terminal is ensured without increasing the length along the X-axis direction. The end of the signal terminal, the static lead-out terminal and the moving lead-out terminal close to the opening is located at the same height along the Z-axis direction and is located on the side of the first side wall close to the opening, so that the signal terminal, the static lead-out terminal and the moving lead-out terminal are all inserted downward from the opening of the base. Therefore, the slot on the first side wall can not be opened very long along the Z-axis direction, the weakening of the strength of the first side wall is reduced, and the contact part, the coil assembly and the auxiliary monitoring switch can be directly placed into the opening of the base during installation, which is convenient and labor-saving. It is also beneficial to connect the magnetic latching relay to the PCB along the Y-axis direction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0095] The insulation member 34 is fixed to the permanent magnet and the two armatures 31. Exemplarily, the insulation member 34 can be an injection molded part. The insulation member 34 wraps the two armatures 31 and the permanent magnet to form an integral whole. Both ends of the first armature 32 and the second armature 33 are located outside the insulation member 34. The two sides of the insulation member 34 along the Z-axis direction close to the first armature 32 are respectively protruded and provided with two insertion shafts 341 extending along the Z-axis direction.

[0105] The armature assembly 30 is placed into the base 11, the insertion shaft 341 of the armature assembly 30 is inserted into the first insertion hole 1111, the driving part 35 of the armature assembly 30 penetrates the through opening 1131 of the partition wall 113 and extends into the first groove 114, and the pushing part 713 of the auxiliary movable contact 70 is inserted into the pushing groove 361 of the auxiliary pushing part 36.
[0106] The fixed end of the movable contact 40 is inserted into the first positioning groove 1141, the movable spring leading piece 42 of the movable contact 40 penetrates the first through groove 1121 of the first side wall 112 to form the connection terminal 02, and the swinging end of the movable contact 40 is inserted into the driving groove 351 of the driving part 35, and the driving part 35 also penetrates the avoiding groove 421 of the movable spring leading piece 42.
[0107] The auxiliary static contact 60 is fixed to the yoke 23 close to the first side wall 112, that is, the second magnetic driving section 235, the coil assembly 20 is placed into the second groove 115, and the signal terminal 01 of the coil assembly 20 penetrates the third through groove 1123, the coil winding 22 abuts against the limiting strip 1152, the two yokes 23 are respectively inserted into the two second positioning grooves 1151, and the static leading terminal 03 of the auxiliary static contact 60 penetrates the other second through groove 1122 of the first side wall 112.
[0108] Subsequently, the base 11 is sleeved into the outer cover 12 along the Y-axis direction and is fixedly connected with the outer cover 12. It should be understood that the sequence of each part during installation can be adjusted as needed.
[0109] After installation, referring to FIGS. 3-4, the contact part 200 and the coil winding 22 are respectively located on both sides of the first plane in the X-axis direction, and the first plane is perpendicular to the X-axis direction and passes through the first axis. The signal terminal 01, the static leading terminal 03 and the movable leading terminal 04 are located at the same height along the Z-axis direction at one end close to the opening of the base 11, and are located on the side close to the opening of the first side wall 112.
[0110] The working process of the embodiment is as follows:
[0111] When the signal terminal 01 receives the first pulse signal, the coil assembly 20 drives the armature assembly 30 to rotate from the second position to the first position, as shown in FIG. 3, one first attraction part 321 attracts the first magnetic driving section 234, one second attraction part 331 attracts the second magnetic driving section 235, and the driving part 35 drives the movable contact 411 to close the static contact 51; the auxiliary driving part 36 drives the auxiliary movable contact 7111 to open the auxiliary static contact 613.
[0112] When the signal terminal 01 receives the second pulse signal, the polarity of the two yokes 23 in the coil assembly 20 changes, and the coil assembly 20 drives the armature assembly 30 to rotate from the first position to the second position, as shown in FIG. 4, the other second attraction part 331 attracts the first magnetic driving section 234, the other first attraction part 321 attracts the second magnetic driving section 235, and the driving part 35 drives the movable contact 411 to open the static contact 51. The auxiliary driving part 36 drives the auxiliary movable contact 7111 to close the auxiliary static contact 613.
[0113] Since the yoke 23 is usually fixed to the end face of the coil winding 22 and is fixedly inserted into the accommodating member 10 together with the coil winding 22, in the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 60 is fixed to the yoke 23, which can be installed and positioned simultaneously when the yoke 23 is installed, avoiding the problem of needing to install the auxiliary static contact 60 again, and facilitating assembly, thereby solving the problem of difficult assembly and positioning of small parts, and further avoiding the problem of easy scratching of the auxiliary static contact 60 when the auxiliary static contact 60 is installed on the base 11. More preferably, the stability of the yoke 23 and the coil body on the base 11 is utilized, so that the auxiliary static contact 60 is directly supported by the yoke 23 to obtain strength and stability, thereby eliminating the need to form a mounting part on the accommodating member 10, so that the structure of the accommodating member 10 is simple, easy to form and saves materials. In addition, it is also beneficial to reduce the volume of the accommodating member 10 and the miniaturization design of the magnetic latching relay to better meet the use requirements and reduce the cost.
[0114] In the embodiment, since only the auxiliary movable contact 70 needs to be installed, the original condition that two installation positions are provided on the accommodating member 10 to install the auxiliary static contact 60 and the auxiliary movable contact 70 is changed to only one installation position, and the installation of the auxiliary movable contact 70 only needs to consider that the auxiliary movable contact 70 can reliably separate from the auxiliary static contact 60 and ensure that the auxiliary movable contact 70 can avoid the armature assembly 30 and other structures of the coil assembly 20, so that the space for installing the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 as a whole is effectively reduced without increasing the volume of the accommodating member 10. In addition, the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 in the technical solution occupies less space compared to the standard auxiliary monitoring switch 300, and the position of the terminal of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 can be adjusted as needed, and the structure design is simpler.
[0115] In the embodiment, the first side of the auxiliary static contact part 61 is used to abut against the auxiliary moving contact 70, and the second side thereof away from the auxiliary moving contact 70 abuts against the yoke 23. When the auxiliary moving contact 70 abuts against the auxiliary static contact part 61, the auxiliary static contact part 61 is supported by the yoke 23, and the stability of the auxiliary static contact part 61 in the contact direction of the auxiliary moving contact 70 is further improved, so that the abutment between the auxiliary moving contact 70 and the auxiliary static contact part 61 is reliable.
[0116] In the embodiment, the coil assembly 20 includes the coil winding 22 arranged on one side of the armature assembly 30 along the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the side of the yoke 23 away from the coil winding 22. Compared with being fixed to the side of the yoke 23 facing the coil winding 22, the auxiliary static contact part 60 is more likely to avoid the coil winding 22, and the distance between the coil winding 22 and the armature assembly 30 (along the X-axis direction) can not be too large, thereby reducing the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the X-axis direction.
[0117] In the embodiment, the yoke 23 is provided with a magnetic driving segment 231 extending perpendicularly to the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the side of the magnetic driving segment 231 away from the coil winding 22. The magnetic driving segment 231 has a large surface area, which helps to improve the connection strength and stability of the auxiliary static contact part 60 after being fixed to the magnetic driving segment 231. Furthermore, compared with the form that the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the connecting segment 232 of the yoke 23, the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 occupies less space in the Y-axis direction. The auxiliary moving contact 7111 is adapted to be closed or disconnected with the auxiliary static contact 613 along the X-axis direction, so that when the auxiliary moving contact 7111 is closed with the auxiliary static contact 613, the auxiliary static contact 613 can be supported by the magnetic driving segment 231, and the structure is more stable.
[0118] In the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact part 61 is a flat sheet abutting parallel to the magnetic driving segment 231, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space of the auxiliary static contact part 61 in the X-axis direction, so as to avoid interference with the movement of the armature assembly 30.
[0119] In the embodiment, the connection between the magnetic driving segment 231 and the connecting segment 232 has a circular arc transition surface 233, and the position where the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the magnetic driving segment 231 avoids the circular arc transition surface 233, so that the auxiliary static contact part 60 and the yoke 23 have a larger connection area, and the fixing strength of the auxiliary static contact part 60 and the yoke 23 is improved.
[0120] In the embodiment, the yoke 23 extends along the Z-axis direction; the position where the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the magnetic driving segment 231 is close to the first end of the yoke 23 along the Z-axis direction. Compared with being arranged close to the middle of the yoke 23, the auxiliary static contact part 60 is more likely to avoid the armature assembly 30 in the Z-axis direction, and the fixing operation of the auxiliary static contact part 60 and the yoke 23 is also easier to implement.
[0121] In this embodiment, the magnetic drive section 231 is provided with a protrusion 2311 protruding in the Z-axis direction relative to the connecting section 232 at the first end of the yoke 23, and the auxiliary static contact 60 is at least partially fixed to the protrusion 2311. On the one hand, this makes the auxiliary static contact 60 more easily avoid the armature assembly 30 in the Z-axis direction. On the other hand, this makes the fixed position more easily avoid the circular arc transition surface 233 of the yoke 23, so that the connection between the auxiliary static contact 60 and the yoke 23 is more stable. In addition, it also makes the auxiliary static contact 60 and the yoke 23 have a larger connection area, thereby improving the fixed strength.
[0122] In this embodiment, an avoidance gap 614 is formed between the first connecting portion 611 and the second connecting portion 612, which faces the second yoke 23 and is adapted to avoid the armature assembly 30. The second connecting portion 612 is farther away from the first end of the yoke 23 than the first connecting portion 611. In the Y-axis direction, the second connecting portion 612 is closer to the circular arc transition surface 233 of the yoke 23 than the first connecting portion 611. The first connecting portion 611 is fixed to the yoke 23. The auxiliary static contact point 613 is arranged on the second connecting portion 612. On the one hand, this makes the auxiliary static contact 60 more easily avoid the armature assembly 30 in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction. On the other hand, this makes the first connecting portion 611 can be farther away from the circular arc transition surface 233 of the yoke 23, thereby improving the connection stability between the first connecting portion 611 and the yoke 23. In addition, arranging the second connecting portion 612 closer to the circular arc transition surface 233 is beneficial to avoid interference of the second connecting portion 612 to the movement of the armature assembly 30.
[0123] In this embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 60 is also provided with a static lead-out terminal 03 and a bending portion 62. The bending portion 62 extends in the X-axis direction and is connected between the first connecting portion 611 and the static lead-out terminal 03 and located on one side of the connecting section 232 in the Z-axis direction. On the one hand, this makes full use of the space on one side of the connecting section 232 in the Z-axis direction, so as to avoid the auxiliary static contact 60 expanding the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the Z-axis direction. On the other hand, this makes the static lead-out terminal 03 close to the coil assembly 20, thereby being more conducive to achieving electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly 20 and the auxiliary monitoring switch 300) of the magnetic latching relay and the strong current terminals (here mainly refers to the connecting terminal 02 of the contact portion 200) of the magnetic latching relay. In addition, connecting the static lead-out terminal 03 to the bending portion 62 is beneficial to save the length of the bending portion 62, thereby saving materials and costs.
[0124] In this embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 60 is riveted to the yoke 23, which is a simpler process and has a stable structure. In this embodiment, the riveting hole 6111 is a counterbore, and the riveting portion 2351 does not protrude into the riveting hole 6111, which is more conducive to reducing the occupied space of the auxiliary static contact 61 in the X-axis direction.
[0125] In the embodiment, the auxiliary moving contact 70 is provided with an auxiliary moving spring member 71 extending along the Z-axis direction. Compared with the auxiliary moving spring member 71 extending along the Y-axis direction, the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 occupies a smaller space along the Y-axis direction, and the force arm of the auxiliary moving contact 70 is longer, which is beneficial to reduce stress concentration and improve service life.
[0126] In the embodiment, the auxiliary stationary contact 60 is provided with at least two auxiliary stationary contact points 613, each auxiliary stationary contact point 613 is located at the same height along the Z-axis direction; the auxiliary moving spring member 71 is provided with a contact branch 712 corresponding to the number of auxiliary stationary contact points 613, one end of each contact branch 712 is fixedly connected with the fixed part 73, and the other end is provided with an auxiliary moving contact point 7111 adapted to abut against the auxiliary stationary contact point 613; one end of each contact branch 712 away from the fixed part 73 forms a swing part 711, on the one hand, the arrangement of multiple auxiliary moving and stationary contact points 51 can improve the connection reliability of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300, and is also beneficial to the processing of the auxiliary moving contact 70 and the auxiliary stationary contact 60, on the other hand, it is also beneficial to the deformation of the auxiliary moving contact 70 along the X-axis direction, improves the connection reliability and prolongs the service life; the auxiliary stationary contact points 613 are located at the same height along the Z-axis direction, so that the contact pressure of each auxiliary moving contact point 7111 and each auxiliary stationary contact point 613 is consistent.
[0127] In the embodiment, one end of the pushing part 713 is fixedly connected with the swing part 711 of the auxiliary moving spring member 71, and the other end is adapted to be driven by the armature assembly 30, so that only the pushing part 713 of the entire auxiliary moving contact 70 is closer to the side where the armature 31 is located, and the auxiliary moving spring member 71 can be arranged closer to the side where the auxiliary stationary contact 60 is located, so as to avoid affecting the movement of the armature assembly 30. Since the pushing part 713 is located at one end of the auxiliary moving contact, only the driving structure for driving the pushing part 713 needs to be arranged on one side of the armature assembly 30 along the Z-axis direction, and the other positions of the armature assembly 30 along the Z-axis direction can be well used for avoiding the auxiliary moving spring member 71; the structure of the pushing part 713 also makes the pushing part 713 deformable along the X-axis direction, so as to provide the auxiliary moving contact point 7111 with a contact reaction force towards the auxiliary stationary contact point 613, which is beneficial to ensure the stable contact between the auxiliary moving contact point 7111 and the auxiliary stationary contact point 613.
[0128] In the embodiment, the fixed part 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 111, which is easy to install and makes the length between the swing part 711 and the fixed end of the auxiliary moving spring member 71 longer, which is more beneficial to reduce the stress concentration of the auxiliary moving spring member 71 and improve the service life.
[0129] In the embodiment, the auxiliary movable contact 70 is further provided with a movable lead-out terminal 04 and a movable lead-out portion 74 located on the side of the fixed portion 73 facing the auxiliary stationary contact 60, one end of which is fixedly connected with the fixed portion 73, and the other end is close to the bending portion 62 and connected with the movable lead-out terminal 04. On the one hand, the movable lead-out terminal 04 can be close to the signal terminal 01 of the coil assembly 20 for installation, which is conducive to realizing the electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly 20 and the terminals of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300) and the strong current terminals (mainly referring to the connecting terminal 02 of the contact portion 200 below) of the magnetic latching relay. On the other hand, it can also avoid the influence of multiple grooves of the accommodating member 10 on the strength of the accommodating member 10. The stationary lead-out terminal 03 and the movable lead-out terminal 04 extend along the Y-axis direction and are flush in the Z-axis direction, on the one hand, the stationary lead-out terminal 03 and the movable lead-out terminal 04 do not need to be bent complicatedly, which reduces the molding difficulty, material cost and improves the service life, on the other hand, the wiring path on the PCB board is simpler.
[0130] In the embodiment, the movable lead-out portion 74 is a flat sheet perpendicular to the Y-axis direction, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space of the movable lead-out portion 74 in the Y-axis direction. The accommodating member 10 is provided with a first limiting portion 1112 for limiting the displacement of the fixed portion 73 along the X-axis direction and a second limiting portion 1113 cooperating with the inner wall of the accommodating member 10 to limit the displacement of the movable lead-out portion 74 along the Y-axis direction, so that the auxiliary movable contact 70 is limited in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, further improving the structural stability of the auxiliary movable contact 70, and this also means that the movable lead-out portion 74 abuts against the first side wall 112, which can limit and improve the strength of the movable lead-out portion 74.
[0131] In the embodiment, the armature assembly 30 rotates around the rotation axis extending along the Z-axis direction, and the coil assembly 20 includes a coil winding 22 extending along the Y-axis direction and two yokes 23 arranged along the Y-axis direction. The structure of the whole magnetic circuit system is simple, the layout is reasonable, and the space occupation is small.
[0132] In the embodiment, generally, if the armature assembly 30 drives the movable contact 40 by driving a separate push card, the area of the yoke 23 on the side of the contact portion 200 along the X-axis direction is generally used as the movement space of the push card. If the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 needs to be installed on the side of the armature 31 along the Y-axis direction, a swing arm needs to be additionally led out from the armature assembly 30 to push the auxiliary monitoring switch 300, and the swing arm also needs to bypass the armature 31 in the armature assembly 30, resulting in a more complex structure, more material consumption, and larger volume occupation. In the embodiment, the driving portion 35 and the auxiliary pushing portion 36 are integrally formed on the armature assembly 30, so that the driving portion 35 can be reasonably designed and processed to avoid the space for installing the auxiliary monitoring switch 300, and the auxiliary pushing portion 36 with a small structure is also used to drive the auxiliary movable contact 70 in the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 to move, which is simple in structure, less in material consumption, good in molding, and does not need to increase the volume of the magnetic latching relay. In the scheme, the driving portion 35 and the auxiliary pushing portion 36 are integrally arranged on the armature assembly 30, which is simple in structure, easy to mold, and conducive to reducing the production cost. In addition, the driving portion 35 and the auxiliary pushing portion 36 are stable relative to the armature assembly 30, so that the shaking of the movable contact 40 and the auxiliary movable contact 70 during breaking can be reduced, the arc striking characteristics of the breaking arc can be avoided, the contact ablation and the uncontrolled arc ablation of other components can be reduced, and the like.
[0133] In the embodiment, the contact portion 200 and the coil winding 22 are respectively located on the two sides of the first plane along the X-axis direction, and the auxiliary stationary contact 60 is fixedly connected to one of the yokes 23, so that the contact portion 200, the coil winding 22, and the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 are away from each other along the X-axis direction, the electrical distance between the weak current terminal of the coil assembly 20, the weak current terminal of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300, and the strong current terminal of the contact portion 200 is kept in a larger range, the electrical isolation problem is improved, and the isolation of the strong and weak current terminals is facilitated. The side of the armature assembly 30 away from the coil winding 22 is provided with the auxiliary pushing portion 36 and the driving portion 35, which is conducive to avoiding the auxiliary monitoring switch 300. The auxiliary pushing portion 36 is suitable for directly driving the auxiliary movable contact 70, and compared with the scheme of arranging a push card between the auxiliary pushing portion 36 and the auxiliary movable contact 70, the space required along the Y-axis direction is smaller, and the problem of jamming of the push card after long-term operation is avoided.
[0134] In the embodiment, in the magnetic holding state, the two armatures 31 have one attracted part respectively to attract the corresponding magnetic driving section 231 to form a closed magnetic circuit passing through the two magnetic driving sections 231, the closed magnetic circuit passes from one magnetic pole of the permanent magnet, through one attracted part, one magnetic driving section 231, the core, the other magnetic driving section 231 and the other attracted part, back to the other magnetic pole of the permanent magnet, compared with the closed magnetic circuit passing through only one magnetic driving section 231, the closed magnetic circuit of the technical solution has greater magnetic attraction and more stable magnetic circuit; the permanent magnet can also make the attracted part and the magnetic driving section 231 still hold when the coil assembly 20 is powered off; the insulating part 34 is provided with an auxiliary pushing part 36 and a driving part 35, which is easy to process and form.
[0135] In the embodiment, the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 is located between the contact part 200 and the coil winding 22 along the X-axis direction, and the static lead-out terminal 03 and the dynamic lead-out terminal 04 are also located between the signal terminal 01 and the connection terminal 02 along the X-axis direction, which ensures the creepage distance between the signal terminal 01 and the connection terminal 02 without increasing the length in the X-axis direction. The signal terminal 01, the static lead-out terminal 03 and the dynamic lead-out terminal 04 are located at the same height along the Z-axis direction at one end close to the opening, and are located on one side of the first side wall 112 close to the opening, so that the signal terminal 01, the static lead-out terminal 03 and the dynamic lead-out terminal 04 are all inserted downward from the opening of the base 11, therefore, the slot on the first side wall 112 can not be opened very long along the Z-axis direction, which reduces the weakening of the strength of the first side wall 112, and the contact part 200, the coil assembly 20 and the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 can be directly placed into the opening of the base 11 during installation, which is convenient and labor-saving, and is also conducive to the magnetic holding relay being connected to the PCB along the Y-axis direction.
[0136] Embodiment 2

[0138] In the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact 613 is located between the position where the auxiliary static contact part 61 is fixed to the magnetic driving section 231 and the circular-arc transition surface 233 along the Y-axis direction, which is beneficial to realize that the position where the auxiliary static contact part 61 is fixed to the magnetic driving section 231 is located outside the electrical path, and to make the fixed position further away from the circular-arc transition surface 233 of the yoke 23, so that the connection between the auxiliary static contact part 61 and the yoke 23 is more stable.
[0139] In the embodiment, when the auxiliary moving contact 7111 contacts the auxiliary static contact 613, the auxiliary static contact part 61 has an electrical path, the position where the auxiliary static contact part 61 is fixed to the magnetic driving section 231 is located outside the electrical path, and the current does not pass through the position where the auxiliary static contact part 61 is fixed to the magnetic driving section 231 to enter the yoke 23 when the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 is closed. Therefore, without the need to set an insulation structure between the auxiliary static contact part 61 and the magnetic driving section 231, the current of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300 can be prevented from affecting the magnetic loop in the yoke 23, and the complexity of the structure is reduced.
[0140] In the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact part 60 is further provided with a static lead terminal 03 and a bending part 62, the bending part 62 extends along the X-axis direction and is connected between the auxiliary static contact part 61 and the static lead terminal 03 and located on one side of the connecting section 232 along the Z-axis direction. On the one hand, the space on one side of the connecting section 232 along the Z-axis direction is fully utilized to avoid the auxiliary static contact part 60 from expanding the occupied space of the magnetic latching relay in the Z-axis direction. On the other hand, the static lead terminal 03 is close to the coil assembly 20, so that it is more beneficial to realize the electrical isolation between the weak current terminals (including the terminals of the coil assembly 20 and the terminals of the auxiliary monitoring switch 300) of the magnetic latching relay and the strong current terminals (mainly referring to the connecting terminal 02 of the contact part 200) of the magnetic latching relay. In addition, the static lead terminal 03 is connected to the bending part 62, which is beneficial to save the length of the bending part 62 and save materials and costs.
[0141] Embodiment 3
[0142] Embodiment 3 is basically the same as embodiment 1 in structure, except that the structure of the auxiliary static contact part 60. Referring to FIG. 12, in the embodiment, the auxiliary static contact part 61 does not include the first connecting part 611 and the second connecting part 612, the magnetic driving section 231 of the yoke 23 is punched to form an installation groove 2352 with an opening away from the coil winding 22 and a riveting part 2351 protruding from the installation groove 2352 on the side away from the coil winding 22; the auxiliary static contact part 60 is installed in the installation groove 2352 and is provided with a riveting hole 6111 matched with the riveting part 2351. The number of the riveting part 2351 is three, which is close to the auxiliary static contact part 61 and is away from the circular-arc transition surface 233. When the auxiliary moving contact 7111 contacts the auxiliary static contact 613, the auxiliary static contact part 60 has an electrical path, and the position where the auxiliary static contact part 60 is fixed to the magnetic driving section 231 is located outside the electrical path.
[0143] In the embodiment, the magnetic driving section 231 of the yoke 23 is punched to form an installation groove 2352 facing away from the coil winding 22 and a riveting portion 2351 protruding from the installation groove 2352, the auxiliary static contact 60 is installed in the installation groove 2352 and is provided with a riveting hole 6111 matched with the riveting portion 2351, the riveting portion 2351 can have a greater length in the X-axis direction through the punching process, so that the auxiliary static contact 60 can also have a greater thickness, and the occupied space in the X-axis direction is small when applied to the magnetic latching relay.
