Definitions
- the invention relates to an electromagnetic relay with a core interspersed with its axis arranged parallel to a base plane, a yoke arranged parallel to the coil axis next to the winding, with a flat armature which is mounted on the free yoke end and with the free core end forms a working air gap and with a contact arrangement arranged on the end face on the side of the armature opposite the coil with at least one fixed counter-contact element and a contact spring which is operatively connected to the armature and whose connecting elements are anchored in a base body.
- an electromagnetic relay in which a base body made of insulating material is provided, which carries both a magnet system and contact elements.
- the base body is formed by extrusion-coating the wound coil, thereby creating reliable insulation between the coil winding and the contact elements.
- the object of the invention is to develop a relay of the type mentioned in such a way that the contact spring can receive the smallest possible spring rate, but does not increase the width of the relay structure.
- this object is achieved in that the contact spring is anchored in the area of one side of the base body adjacent to the armature bearing, extends with a first leg essentially over the entire width of the relay interior and in the area of the opposite side of the base body with the free armature end is coupled that the contact points are close to the second side of the base body and that a second leg of the contact spring extends in a U-shape from the free armature end to the contact point.
- the available width of the relay for the spring is fully utilized, with the U-shaped second spring leg making the armature movement to the contact point is transmitted.
- the spring With its L-shaped or Z-shaped first spring section and the U-shaped second spring section attached to it, the spring is given a total Y shape which makes optimal use of the available contact space in order to achieve the lowest possible spring rate with the smallest space requirement, on the other hand also the necessary creepage distances and clearances between the contact point and the armature of the relay for switching of high current or high voltages.
- the contact point is moved out of the bearing plane of the armature by the U-shaped second spring leg, so that there is a relatively large friction for self-cleaning and shock absorption of the contacts.
- the first and the second leg of the contact spring can for example be bent in one piece from a spring material with a constant thickness. Since a larger spring rate is desired for the U-shaped second spring leg than for the first leg, this second spring leg can be stiffened somewhat, for example, by beads or similar shapes.
- the two spring legs prefabricate the two spring legs from different leaf spring material and to connect them to one another by welding or similar measures.
- the two spring legs can be made either from different materials with different spring properties or from spring plates with different thicknesses. So it is also possible to design the second spring leg in cross-section so that it dissipates the heat (caused by the switching arc) well from the contact; this heat can be partially dissipated from the second spring leg to the anchor, so that the first spring leg is not thermally stressed.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a relay designed according to the invention, the housing being partially cut open
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the relay of Fig. 1 with the housing cap cut open.
- the relay shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a housing consisting of a base 1 and a cap 2, in which a coil body 3 with winding 4 and an angular yoke 5 are arranged.
- a coil core 6 is coupled on the one hand to the yoke 5 and has at its other end a pole plate 7 which forms a working air gap with a plate-shaped armature 8.
- This armature 8 is supported at the free end of the yoke 5, a bearing plate 9 placed on the yoke forming a bearing notch with the yoke.
- the bearing plate 9 is hooked onto the lugs 5a of the yoke with laterally formed locking tabs 9a.
- a bearing spring 10 is formed, which engages with a spring portion 10a bent upwards into a notch 11 of the armature and presses it into the bearing.
- the width of the relay is determined by the diameter of the coil 3, 4 and the thickness of the yoke 5, which, lying side by side, occupy the entire width between the two side walls of the housing cap 2.
- a contact space 12 is provided, in which two mating contact elements 13 and 14 and a connecting element 15 for a central contact spring 16 are arranged and anchored in the base, for example by means of plug-in fastening.
- This center contact spring consists of two spring legs, a substantially elongated first spring leg 16a bent at the ends in a Z-shape and a substantially U-shaped second spring leg 16b.
- connection element 15 for the contact spring is moved as far as possible to the one side wall 2a of the cap 2 and is arranged in the base 1 approximately parallel to this side wall.
- the spring section 16a is fastened to the outside of the connection element 15 with a bent fastening section 16c, so that from this fastening section 16c to the free armature end with the driving tooth 17 the greatest possible spring length is created. So that the width of the relay is largely used for the contact spring.
- the end 16d of the spring leg 16a is connected to the U-shaped spring leg 16b near the free anchor end, for example welded.
- This U-shaped spring leg 16b has at one end a bent driver tab 16e with which it is hooked into the driver tooth 17 of the armature 8.
- the other end of the U-shaped contact spring leg 16b carries the center contact 18, which interacts with the counter-contacts 19 and 20.
- the contact spring 16 must have a large cross section for guiding large currents, which is achieved by a large width perpendicular to the image plane of FIG. 2.
- the two spring legs 16a and 16b are manufactured separately and then connected, they can also consist of spring material of different thicknesses or of materials with different spring properties. It is important that the spring leg 16a has a low spring rate, while the spring rate of the leg 16b should be larger. Under certain circumstances, this can also be achieved by additional beads or other formations, in particular when the two spring legs 16a and 16b are formed from the same material or are produced in one piece.
- a partition is provided in the housing, which is integrally formed on the cap in the exemplary embodiment shown, but could also be provided on the base in another embodiment.
