Technical Field
The invention relates to a negative magnetostriction control relay device, and belongs to the field of electrical devices.
Background
The magnetostrictive effect was found in 1842 to be an effect in which ferromagnetic materials and ferrimagnetic materials undergo changes in length and volume due to changes in their own magnetization states. Wherein, positive magnetostriction is that the material lengthens along the direction of the magnetic field in the magnetization process, and negative magnetostriction is that the material shortens along the direction of the magnetic field in the magnetization process. The magnetostrictive material is used as an important intelligent material, has the advantages of high mechanical energy-electric energy conversion efficiency, high energy density and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, ships, electrical devices, sound equipment and the like.
SmMFexAs a negative magnetostriction material, the magnetostriction strain can reach-2100 ppm, in the REFE2Second only to TbFe in the series of compounds2And is highest in all negative magnetostrictive materials. However, SmMFexThe alloy does not contain Tb, Dy and other precious metals, has low price and is only (TbDy) Fe2Half of that. Thus, SmMFe is usedxAs a raw material, the material has the advantages of excellent performance, low price and the like.
A relay, as an electric control device, is an electric appliance that generates a predetermined step change in a controlled amount in an electric output circuit when a change in excitation meets a predetermined requirement, and is generally applied to an automatic control circuit to control a large current operation with a small current. The common relays include an electromagnetic relay, a solid relay, a temperature relay, a time relay, etc., but the control circuits of these relays can only operate under the condition of being supplied with power, and the control circuits need to maintain power supply during operation, which not only causes the loss of electric energy, but also cannot meet the relay under certain extreme conditions without continuous power supply. Currently, a magnetic latching relay is emerging, which uses magnetic attraction to keep the switch in a closed state without continuous power supply. Although the existing magnetic latching relay keeps the switch closed without power supply, two control ends are needed no matter the structure is a single coil or a double coil; the on-off of the control switch needs to be triggered by applying forward and reverse pulse current, and the control is relatively complex. The invention provides a device which can control the on-off of a circuit by means of mechanical external force without power supply and can keep a closed state.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem of the invention is solved: the defects in the prior art are overcome, and the negative magnetostriction control relay device is provided to realize the function of controlling the on-off of a circuit by means of mechanical external force and keeping the closed state under the condition of no power supply.
The principle of the invention is as follows: according to the kirchhoff law of the magnetic circuit, at any node (solid closed surface) of the magnetic circuit, the algebraic sum of the magnetic fluxes is zero, namely phi1+Φ20. Two loops with opposite magnetic flux directions can be constructed, the permanent magnet material-negative magnetostriction material forms a loop, and the magnetic flux is phi1(ii) a The permanent magnet material and the armature form another loop with a magnetic flux of phi2. By utilizing the principle that the magnetic conductivity of the negative magnetostrictive material is changed under the action of external pressure, the magnetic conductivity of the material is increased when pressure is applied to the negative magnetostrictive material, and the magnetic flux phi of the loop is increased1Increasing the flux phi of the permanent magnet material-armature circuit2And decreases. The magnetic flux phi is B.S, the magnetic induction intensity B of a loop where the armature is located is reduced, the acting force of a magnetic field borne by the corresponding armature is reduced, the armature is far away from the permanent magnet material under the action of the spring elasticity, and a contact (the contact is externally connected with a working circuit) is connected to enable the working circuit to be conducted. When the pressure applied to the negative magnetostriction material is removed, the magnetic field acting force borne by the armature is increased, the armature is separated from the contact by overcoming the elastic force of the spring, and the working circuit is disconnected.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that:
(1) the circuit is controlled to be switched on and off by means of mechanical external force without power supply, and the operation is simpler and more convenient than that of a magnetic latching relay. The pressure acts on the negative magnetostrictive material 2 to change the magnetic conductivity of the negative magnetostrictive material, so that the magnetic force borne by the armature 5 is indirectly reduced, the armature is contacted with the contact under the action of the elastic force of the springs 8 and 9, and the switch is closed; if the switch is disconnected, the pressure applied to the negative magnetostrictive material 2 is removed, the magnetic force applied to the armature 5 is increased, the armature overcomes the elastic force of the springs 8 and 9 to separate from the contact, and a pulse signal is not required to be provided. And the switch does not contain electric control devices such as coils and the like, and the operation and control process is simple and convenient.
(2) After the switch is closed, the switch does not need power supply, can keep a closed state and has no energy loss. Because the magnetic force exerted by the permanent magnetic material 4 controls the contact between the armature 5 and the contact, no electric energy or other forms of energy loss exist in the process, and the state can be kept after the closing.
(3) The invention can realize stable relay under certain extreme conditions. Under some extreme conditions (such as unstable power supply), the traditional electromagnetic relay cannot ensure the continuous contact between the armature and the contact, but after the armature is contacted with the contact, namely the switch is closed, if no external force directly acts, the control circuit cannot be disconnected, and the stable closing of the relay switch can be ensured.
