Definitions
- the present invention relates to a microrelay consisting of a Magnetic coil system, a contact carrier body with contacts arranged therein, a permanent magnet for magnetic inference and one around his Center axis between two positions tiltable anchor and one Changeover spring system, with the magnetic coil system in the form of a flat coil system a microstructure executed on a flow plate is formed and is formed from at least one microflat coil.
- a large number of relays are known, the coils of which are wound.
- circuit board relays are known, one being wound Coil over a permanent magnet an armature over an induced Magnetic flux causes a tilting movement, causing changeover contact springs be operated.
- the resulting downward is still a disadvantage here limited overall height, especially due to the space requirement of the wound coil, which limits the applicability of such relays.
- they prove to be relative high manufacturing costs of the wound coil and the complexity as well disadvantageous.
- EP, A1 0685864 which forms the closest prior art, describes a flat coil relay, in which the force on a current-carrying conductor is used within a magnetic field.
- the flow between the cylindrical Shaped permanent magnet takes place in the opposite direction, whereby the resulting total flow through the coil cross-sectional area is approximately zero.
- the two magnetic fluxes run in opposite directions Direction.
- EP, A1 0780858 further describes a miniaturized flat coil relay with two completely separate magnetic circles, which are separated by an elastic Switch rocker are connected in spring form. There always have to be two separate permanent magnets can be used.
- the object of the invention is to provide a microrelay of the type described in the introduction to provide that has a minimal height, contains only a few components and can be produced inexpensively in automated production.
- the armature can be swiveled around a central axis as a 3-pole Permanent magnet or is designed as a 2-pole permanent magnet.
- the Permanent magnet positioned on flat cores in the micro flat coils are arranged.
- the flat coil system preferably has two individually arranged micro flat coils on.
- FIG. 1 shows the individual modules of the microrelay in an exploded view, namely a flat coil system 1, a contact carrier body 2 and an anchor and Switch spring holder 3.
- the flat coil system 1 consists of a flow plate 11 and two on it applied micro flat coils 12 and 13, which by means of a suitable Etching process from the field of microstructure technology in a known manner Way generated and fed via the connection lugs 26, 26 '.
- the designed as a microstructure flat coil system 1 serves as a drive for Tilting movement of the armature 31 to actuate the changeover springs 33 and 34.
- the contact carrier body 2 is a frame-shaped plastic injection-molded part, in which six connection lugs are held by injection molding.
- the connecting lugs 27, 28, 29 and 27 ', 28', 29 'for the changeover contacts are provided on each of the long sides of the contact carrier body 2.
- An armature 31 designed as a prismatic rod is arranged in the armature and switchover spring holder 3, which armature can also be designed as a permanent magnet 32.
- the connections 35 and 36 are welded to the positions 40 and 41.
- the armature 31 actuates the changeover springs 33 and 34 as a result of its tilting movement, which, in turn, close the working contacts 37, 37 'and the normally closed contacts 38, 38' in the appropriate position.
- the magnetic flux ⁇ E1 induced by the excited microflat coil 12 counteracts the magnetic flux ⁇ M1 caused by the permanent magnet 32 '.
- the movement is transmitted in a known manner to the changeover springs 33, 34, whereby the switching operation of the microrelay is triggered.
- the resulting fluxes must be set in such a way that the tilting movement is triggered with the aid of the supporting spring action of the changeover springs 33, 34. This can be done by swapping the polarity of the power source.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which the permanent magnet 32 in the armature 31 induces the magnetic fluxes ⁇ M1 and ⁇ M2 with different flow directions.
- the magnetic flux ⁇ E induced by the micro flat coils 12 and 13 via the cores 15 and 16 in the permanent magnet 32 supports the magnetic flux ⁇ M2 and counteracts the magnetic flux ⁇ M1 , so that the armature 31 tilts into the working position.
- the direction of flow of the micro-coil flux ⁇ E must be reversed, for example in a corresponding manner, as described in the section above.
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment which, in contrast to FIG. 2, has an armature 31 ′ which is designed as a 2-pole permanent magnet 32 ′′.
- the magnetically conductive central core 17 increases the magnetic flux ⁇ E1 .
- the magnetic foot ⁇ M has approximately twice the amount of the magnetic flux ⁇ E1.Therefore , the flux ⁇ M is shown as a double line.
- ⁇ E1 is subtracted to ⁇ M
- ⁇ E2 is added to ⁇ M , which in a corresponding manner, as explained above, causes a tilting movement of the armature 31, which is designed as a permanent magnet 'is triggered.
- FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment based on FIG. 5 with a magnetically non-conductive rotary support 17 'instead of a magnetically conductive central core.
- a smaller magnetic flux ⁇ E1 results.
- the ratio ⁇ E1 to ⁇ E2 is smaller than in the case of the exemplary embodiment described in FIG. 5, since there is greater resistance across the air gap during the rotating rest. The principle of operation remains the same.
- FIG. 7 shows an exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, with the difference that the axis of rotation 18 "'is located at a greater distance from the flow plate 11.
- the bearing 19 of the axis of rotation 18"' can be provided on the contact carrier body 2.
- 8 shows an exemplary embodiment with a single microflat coil 12 'arranged around a magnetically conductive central core 17.
- the magnetic fluxes ⁇ E1 and ⁇ M subtract, the magnetic fluxes ⁇ E2 and ⁇ M add up, which in turn enables a tilting movement of the armature 31 'designed as a permanent magnet 32 "in the manner already described.
- the flat coil system designed as a microstructure serves as a drive for the tilting movement of the armature 31.
- the tilting movement is achieved by corresponding interaction of the magnetic fluxes ⁇ E1 , ⁇ M1 , ⁇ E2 , ⁇ M2 , ⁇ E , ⁇ M (Fig. 2-8), as explained in detail above.
- the armature actuates the changeover springs 33 and 34, which in turn, in the appropriate position, close the working contacts 37, 37 ', or the normally closed contacts 38, 38'.
- the advantages of the subject of the invention are that they are low Heights can be achieved. It is essential that the invention trained flat coil system allows miniaturization of the relay. Through the Layered construction can optimally unbundle the coil from the contacts be designed. In addition, the manufacture of flat micro coils is due to the Use of modern galvanic processes in a manner known to those skilled in the art particularly inexpensive. This can be achieved by reducing the conductor insulation very high degree of utilization can be achieved. Compared to conventional wound Coils can be massively reduced in process steps during manufacture make. For example, soldering of the coil ends and also that is not necessary related use of fluxes, which for the microclimate of the relay can damage the contact. In addition, the Eisatz from inexpensive connection technologies, e.g. bonding, possible.
- the Insulation material of the conventional insulation of the winding wires also has one negative impact on the microclimate.
- Another advantage of the present The invention is therefore the elimination of this contact damaging Insulation material.
