Definitions

  • Such a relay is constructed, for example, from the US 4,596,972.
  • the contact spring encloses it in an arc the anchor bearing and is with its connecting section attached to the yoke, the yoke in turn one down integrally formed connector pin.
  • the fixed contact carriers and if necessary, the contact spring connector pin each manufactured as stamped parts and by plugging in preformed shafts and openings of the coil body or a base and then by a notching process or determined by self-pressure.
  • This structure has the disadvantage that the parts either for tolerance reasons not stuck positively in the plastic part or that at during assembly due to overlapping of parts, particles are rubbed off become. These particles can later in the relay, for example on the contacts, in the anchor bearing or in the working air gap, lead to problems. A high level must then be used in production Effort to be driven through the resulting particles To eliminate blowing or suction devices.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a relay of the input mentioned type with a simple structure to create that with few parts is also easy to manufacture.
  • the construction is intended to use particularly cheap semi-finished materials and particularly material-saving and waste-free Allow manufacturing process, making the relay produced particularly economically and nevertheless with high quality can be.
  • this goal is at a relay of the beginning mentioned type achieved in that the contact spring pin and the at least one fixed contact carrier drawn or rolled wire and into the bobbin are embedded.
  • wire connection elements there is one for the load circuit connections particularly inexpensive and material-saving production of the relay. Because the semi-finished wire directly from the supply roll inserted into the injection mold and embedded there no punching or bending tools are required. Also the coil connections used in the usual way are preferably in the same way in the Mold with molded. The wire can either be overmolded or immediately after injection molding through the injection mold be separated, with no waste. By using drawn or rolled wires with a simple, preferably round or rectangular profile, the sealing of the injection mold is also easy, because no punch burrs or the like have to be taken into account. Since the relay has no punched parts, no plastic particles scraped off during assembly, that affect the contact surfaces or pole faces could.
  • the relay has only one Fixed contact with the contact spring as a make or break contact cooperates and accordingly on one or the other Side of the spring end arranged with the movable contact becomes.
  • a changeover contact can also be used are generated, with a second fixed contact carrier a second fixed contact opposite the first in the same bobbin flange is anchored.
  • the contact spring connector pin in the first coil flange that is, in the area of the control room, embedded, and the Connection section of the contact spring is directly on a section of the yoke parallel to the bearing edge of the yoke Pin attached.
  • the anchor lies with its end of the bearing in this case between the yoke end and the connecting pin, while the connection section of the contact spring on the Bearing end of the armature passed over to the connecting pin and on attached, preferably welded or brazed, is.
  • the contact spring connector pin just like the fixed contact carrier made of square wire.
  • the core arranged in the coil tube preferably has one Pole plate with eccentrically enlarged towards the armature bearing Pole face. This means that even with small relay dimensions on the one hand, an adequate isolation distance from the fixed contacts and on the other hand generates a sufficiently large pole area become.
  • the Core embedded in the manufacture of the bobbin be, so that a subsequent plugging process is not necessary.
  • the core can be round or round have a rectangular cross section. It is also possible to add a round (or rectangular) core afterwards to insert into a through opening of the bobbin.
  • it is advantageous to use the core surface in the Warts should be stamped near the pole plate later relaxation of the thermoplastic coil body material form a positive connection and thus a mutual fixation the core pole face and the bearing edge of the yoke.
  • the contact spring with the anchor bearing angularly enclosing fastening section is attached to the yoke and that one over the attachment portion folded connector section to the connector pin is managed and connected to it.
  • a relay for high load currents ensures that a large spring cross section for guiding the load current until the pin is available.
  • the relay shown in Figures 1 to 5 has as a load-bearing Part of a coil former 1 with a coil tube 11, a first flange 12 and a second flange 13.
  • the first Flange 12 forms an extension into which a control room 14 is molded, which is closed at the bottom with a bottom 15 and thus defines the connection side of the relay.
  • a winding 2 is attached to the coil tube 11.
  • first flange 12 In the extension of the first flange 12 are two fixed contact carriers 3 and 4 and a contact spring pin 5 embedded by overmoulding, which is made from highly conductive semi-finished products Material, for example copper, as square wire are executed. Instead of the wire shown with square Cross section could also be one with rectangular or with round cross section can be used.
  • the two fixed contact carriers are with each other on the facing surfaces provided a fixed contact, namely a first fixed contact 6, which acts as a make contact, and with one second fixed contact 7, which serves as a break contact. These contacts are each made as contact pieces from a semi-finished contact material band cut off and attached to the fixed contact carrier 3 or 4 welded or (preferably) brazed.
  • Two other wires preferably with a smaller cross section are as coil pins 9 and 10 in the second and in first flange arranged diagonally offset and in the same Embedded like the load connections.
  • These coil connector pins are preferably of square cross-section run to better tightening the winding of the Reach winding ends before their material connection. This is preferably done by means of a TIG welding or TIG soldering, in which a flux-free and therefore particle-free connection is achieved.
  • the core 16 can be formed when the coil former 1 is formed these, that is to say embedded in the coil tube 11, so that the later insertion is not necessary (see Figure 3).
  • the core end protruding over the coil former serves 19 for centering the core in the injection mold.
  • the burn-off safety (the overstroke) of the anchor for the lifetime a normally open contact in an overmolded core to ensure the anchor in the area below the movable contact spring end a free stamping 22b so that an air gap between the contact spring 23 and the armature 22 28 arises.
  • side constrictions 22c is also specified a predetermined bending point. It enables an increase the overstroke when the armature is under force from the coil axis is slightly kinked.
  • the core and the yoke for example by a notch connection in the area of the coil flange 13 are connected so that the pole face of the Pole plate 17 and the yoke bearing edge 21 are aligned, tolerances of the two parts are switched off and an optimal one Magnetic attraction for the anchor reached.
  • the Compensation of the tolerances and thus the adjustment of the overstroke is realized so that the notched yoke-core unit inserted so far in the coil tube in the axial direction until the armature overstroke reaches its setpoint.
  • the optimally aligned surfaces change in the working and anchor bearing air gap in their mutual Assignment not; only the magnet system becomes the location of the contact set customized.
  • the armature 22 is a contact spring 23 via a rivet point 24 connected, which at their protruding above the anchor End 23a carries a movable contact 25, which acts as a center contact cooperates with the two fixed contacts 6 and 7.
  • it can be a riveted contact or by two welded together or soldered contact pieces separated from a precious metal strip be formed.
  • the contact spring 23 has an attachment portion 23b which is shown in FIG Form a curl or loop over the stored end of the anchor bent and lying flat on the yoke leg 20b Rivet warts 26 (or weld spots) is attached. Through its This fastening section 23b produces a preload Contact spring the armature restoring force.
  • the contact spring also has 23 one beyond the fixing portion 23b extending connection section 23c, which by 180 ° the fastening portion 23b is folded and with its end attached to the pin 5 by welding or brazing is.
  • This connection section of the spring is used only for Current supply and has no influence on the restoring force of the anchor. He is in the area of the rivet warts 26 (or Spot weld) with openings 27 so that it does not is riveted.
