Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromagnetic relay in accordance with the precharacterising clause of Claim 1 and a receptacle in accordance with the precharacterising clause of Claim 9.
  • electromagnetic relays are used in automotive technology to create different switching states for the electrical lines of a motor vehicle.
  • Relays have, for example, one or two relay actuators which are accommodated in a housing.
  • DE 199 17 338 C2 discloses an electromagnetic relay and a process for manufacturing the relay, in which the electromagnetic relay has a base having an electromagnet system and a coil, a core arrangement and an armature.
  • the armature is mounted on the base by way of an armature spring.
  • the base forms part of a switching chamber.
  • a contact system having at least one fixed contact.
  • a movable contact which is mounted on the movable armature spring.
  • a second fixed contact is arranged on the base. The movable contact is switched between the two fixed contacts as a function of the current passing through the coil of the first electromagnetic relay.
  • the electromagnet system and the switching chamber are arranged in a housing, with the fixed parts of the electromagnet system and at least some of the base being embedded in an insulating material, with terminal conductors guided through a housing wall to the outside.
  • DE 103 04 638 A1 discloses a switching relay having two magnetic coils and a process for manufacturing the switching relay.
  • the switching relay has two relay actuators which are arranged parallel to one another and whereof the armature springs are associated with one another and are brought into abutment against a first or a second fixed contact in a central region between the magnetic coils as a function of the current passing through the magnetic coils.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an electromagnetic relay of simpler construction.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the electromagnetic relay in accordance with Claim 1 and the receptacle in accordance with Claim 9.
  • the arrangement of the second contact on the receptacle makes possible a simple construction for the relay actuator, which is mounted on the receptacle in order to produce the electromagnetic relay.
  • This embodiment makes possible a compact construction of the electromagnetic relay, which can make an electrically conductive connection between one of the two contacts.
  • a second relay actuator is mounted on the receptacle, constructed substantially in the same way as the first relay actuator. Moreover, a further second contact is mounted on the receptacle and represents the second fixed contact for the second relay actuator.
  • the second and/or the further second contact of the receptacle are each in electrically conductive connection with a connection pin of the receptacle. In this way, a secure contact is made for the second and the further second contact respectively.
  • the receptacle has a recess into which one end of the iron core of the relay actuator is inserted. Adjoining the recess there is embedded in the receptacle a contact face which is connected to the iron core preferably by way of a laser weld. The contact face is moreover in electrically conductive connection with a connection pin which is embedded in the receptacle. In this way, a simple construction and reliable mounting of the relay actuator in the receptacle are made possible.
  • a second recess is made in the receptacle, symmetrically in relation to the first recess, and in similar manner the armature spring of the second relay actuator is brought into electrically conductive contact with a second contact face by way of the iron core in this recess.
  • a simple and reliable electrically conductive contact can be made for the armature springs of the first and the second relay actuators by way of a common contact element.
  • the respective first contact of the first and/or the second relay actuator is electrically conductively connected to a connection pin by way of a contact element embedded in the receptacle.
  • the first and/or the second relay actuator has/have at least one contact pin which is electrically conductively connected to the first contact or the armature spring, with the contact pin being guided through an opening in the receptacle. In this way, a direct electrical contact is made between the contact pin and the relay actuator without a connection pin for the receptacle.
  • One advantage of the receptacle according to the invention consists in the provision of a simple, low-cost and reliable mounting for two relay actuators.
  • This advantage is achieved in that two fixed contacts are embedded in the receptacle, in that the two fixed contacts are provided as mating contacts for movable contacts of the relay actuators, in that the fixed contacts are electrically conductively connected to a connection pin, in that there is embedded in the receptacle a contact element which is constructed to make electrically conductive contact with the two fixed contacts of the two relay actuators, in that the contact element is electrically conductively connected to a connection pin, and in that electrical terminals for supplying power to coils of the relay actuators are embedded in the receptacle. Further advantageous embodiments of the receptacle are described in the dependent claims.
