Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetic relay wherein a movable contact spring and a stationary contact spring are inserted by molding into a base block.
  • an electromagnetic relay for an industrial apparatus, an automobile, and the like, a noise generated at a switching of contacts is transmitted to a winding, thereby erroneously operating or destroying electronic circuits connected to the winding.
  • an anti-surging characteristic and an anti-noise characteristic between the winding and contacts are required for an electromagnetic relay.
  • a pressure method or an inserting-by-molding method is used. According to the latter method, a thickness of mold can be made smaller than that of the former method, and this helps to reduce the size of the relay. Contrary to this, to improve the anti-surging characteristic and the anti-noise characteristic between the winding and contact springs, a distance between the winding and contact springs must be made larger, which increases the size of the relay. Therefore, in a small sized relay, it is difficult to effectively fix the contact springs to the base block, since the thickness of a mold is small but the distance between the winding and the contact springs must be large.
  • an object of the present invention is to improve the anti-surging characteristic and the anti-noise characteristic in a small sized relay.
  • the width of a portion of the movable contact spring and the stationary contact spring within the base block is larger than that of a portion thereof outside of the base block. Accordingly, the movable contact spring and the stationary contact springs can be effectively and reliably fixed to the base block, and this allows a substantial distance to be provided between the winding and the contact springs.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 which illustrates an embodiment of the present invention, reference X designates an electromagnet assembly, and Y designates a base block assembly.
  • Reference numeral 1 designates a bobbin on which a winding 2 is wound.
  • the bobbin 1 has two collars 1a and 1b, and block-shaped portions 1c and 1d protruded from the collar 1b.
  • Winding terminals 3a and 3b are inserted by pressure into the block-shaped portions 1c and 1d, respectively, and the ends of the winding 2 are fixed to the winding terminals 3a and 3b.
  • Reference 4 designates a core which penetrates the center of the bobbin 1 and is fixed by a yoke 5. Note, a magnetic pole portion of the core 4 is indicated by 4a.
  • Reference 6 designates an armature which is fixed to an end of a L-shaped hinge spring 7, the other end of which is fixed to the yoke 5 by inserting the protrusions (not shown) thereof into holes 7a and 7b of the hinge spring 7, whereby the electromagnet assembly X is completed.
  • a base block 8 includes an approximately cylindrical insulating barrier 8a having an opening through which the electromagnet assembly X is inserted. Also, a movable contact spring 9 having a contact 9a and a terminal 9b and a stationary spring 10 having a contact 10a are inserted by molding into the base block 8. Note that the body of the movable contact spring 9 and a terminal 9b thereof can be formed separately or integrally.
  • a slit 9c is provided at the movable contact spring 9, to thereby effectively increase the length of the movable contact spring 9, i.e., reduce the stiffness thereof.
  • the stationary contact spring 10 is approximately L-shaped, to thus effectively increase the length of the stationary contact spring 10, i.e., reduce the stiffness thereof.
  • Reference 12 designates a two-parallel-arm type and card for transmitting a motion of the armature 6 to the movable contact spring 9.
  • curled portions 12a and 12b of the card 12 are inserted into holes 6b and 6c of the armature 6.
  • reference 13 designates a box for accommodating the body of relay.
  • the box 13 is adhered by adhesives to the base block 8.
  • the adhesives are inserted in through holes 8b and 8c of the base block 8, but the adhesive may be spilt to form a hinge portion 5a of the yoke 5.
  • two parallel rails (protrusions) 8d and 8e are provided at the base block 8 on the opening side of the barrier 8a.
  • the parallel rails 8d and 8e are positioned inside of the block-shaped portions 1c and 1d when the electromagnet assembly X is inserted into the cylindrical insulating barrier 8a of the base block 8, and thus the parallel rails 8d and 8e also serve as guides for the electromagnet assembly.
  • the movable contact spring 9 (in this case, the terminal 9b) and the stationary contact spring 10 of Figs. 1 and 2 are explained in more detail with reference to Fig. 3.
  • a portion 91 of the terminal 9b within the base block 8 is made wider than a portion 92 of the terminal 9b outside of the base block 8, to ensure a secure adhesion of the terminal 9b of the movable contact spring 9 to the base block 8. Also, a portion 93 of the terminal 9b towards the external terminal 94 thereof is made slimmer. As a result, even when a large force is applied to the external terminal 94, such a large force is absorbed by the slim portion 93, to thus avoid a transformation of the movable contact spring 9.
  • a portion 101 of the stationary contact spring 10 within the base block 8 is made wider than a portion 102 of the stationary contact spring 10 outside of the base block 8, to thus ensure a secure adhesion of the stationary contact spring 10 to the base block 8.
  • a portion 103 of the stationary contact spring 10 towards the external terminal 104 thereof is made slimmer. As a result, even when a large force is applied to the external terminal 104, such a large force is absorbed by the slim portion 103, to thus avoid a transformation of the stationary contact spring 10.
  • both of the external terminals 94 and 104 are arranged at the same face with respect to the longitudinal direction of the relay.
  • the terminal 9b of the movable contact spring 9 is further securely adhered to the base block 8.
  • the card 12 of Figs. 1 and 2 is explained in more detail with reference to Figs. 4A, 4B, and 5. That is, a portion 12c of the card 12 is fitted on an upper portion of the movable contact spring 9, and simultaneously, a protrusion 12d of the card 12 penetrates through a hole 9d of the movable contact spring 9, thus avoiding a separation of the card 12 from the movable contact spring 9.
  • the movable contact spring 9 and the stationary contact spring 10 are located on an opposite sides of the electromagnetic assembly X with respect to the base block 8, it is possible to obtain a sufficient distance between the electromagnet and the contacts, thus improving the anti-surging characteristic and anti-noise characteristic of the relay.
  • the winding terminals 3a and 3b are fixed by a pressure insertion thereof in the holes of the block-shaped portions 1c and 1d of the bobbin 1.
  • the core 4 is inserted in the bobbin 1 having the winding 2 thereon, and an end of the core 4 opposite to the magnetic pole face 4a thereof is caulked at the yoke 5, to thus complete a core assembly X1.
  • armature 6 is caulked at a portion 6a of the hinge spring 7, to thus complete an armature assembly X2.
  • holes 7a and 7b of the armature assembly X2 are fitted into the respective protrusions (not shown) of the under face of the yoke 5 of the core assembly X1, to thus complete the electromagnet assembly X.
  • the electromagnet assembly X is inserted into the cylindrical innsulating barrier 8a of the base block 8, and the armature 6 is linked by the card 12 to the movable contact spring 9, and thereafter, the entire relay is covered by the box 13, to thus complete the overall assembly thereof.
  • the electromagnetic relay according to the present invention can be made in a small size, which improves the anti-surging characteristic and the anti-noise characteristic.
