- Said relay 1 comprises a containment enclosure 20, in which an electromagnet 30, a control group 40, a group of contacts 50, associated to said control group 40, and appropriate electrical connections, are placed.
- the containment enclosure 20 comprises a base 21 , a cover 22 for covering, a screen 23 and a support 24, inserted between said base 21 and said cover 22.
- the electromagnet 30 has a coil 31 , a core 32 around which said coil 31 is wrapped, along which, for reference, the X-axis shown in figure 4 passes, and a skirt 33, coupled with said core 32. In this way, two air gaps T of the electromagnet 30 are realized.
- the control group 40 comprises a support element 41 , provided, preferably at one end, a housing 42', in which a magnetic unit 43 is placed.
- Said magnetic unit 43 comprises (see in particular figure 5) a pair of switching armatures 43' and a permanent magnet 43.
- Said switching armatures 43' are arranged in such way that each one is inserted in one of said air gaps T.
- the support element 41 also comprises the pivots 44, adapted to pivot said support element 41 to the support 24 of said containment enclosure 20, so that it rotates around the axis Y (see for example figure 3).
- the support element 42 provides a recess 42', wherein said electromagnet 30 is placed. This arrangement allows to obtain a reduced overall size.
- Said support element 41 has, on one side and at the ends, even seats 45, which operation will be better clarified in the following.
- Said electromagnet 30 is arranged whithin said supporting element 41, thus allowing a considerable reduction of space.
- the contact group 50 also includes a pair of fixed contacts 51 and a pair of movable contacts 52.
- the contact group 50 also comprises a pair of lamellar springs 53a and 53b, each of which is composed of a plurality of plates and comprises one of said movable contacts 52 (see figure 6).
- Each lamellar spring 53a and 53b comprises a first end 53a' and 53b', fixed, preferably with rivets or self-tapping screws, to said support 24, and a second end 53a" and 53b".
- Each lamellar spring 53 in particular the portion close to the second end 53a" and 53b" or directly the plate 54 of each spring lamellar 53a and 53b, is inserted also in a respective seat 45, so as to be constrained to said support element 41.
- the lamellar springs 53a and 53b are arranged parallel to the X axis, overlapped each other and oriented in the opposite direction relative to one another, i.e. so that (referring for example to figure 3) the first end 53a' of the first lamellar spring 53a is at the left, while the first end 53a" of the second lamellar spring 53a is at the right.
- the plane identified by the contacts 51 and 52 is orthogonal to the Y axis.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 two longitudinal sections of the relay 1 can be observed, which respectively show the position of the contact group 50, in a first opening operating position (open circuit), and of the support element 41 when the two switching armatures 43' are in contact with the core 32 and with the lower portion of the skirt 33.
- This configuration is achieved as a result of a first polarization of the coil 31 of the electromagnet 30.
- the magnetic unit 43 which has a fixed magnetic polarization, as it comprises a permanent magnet 43" is attracted by the electromagnet 30 in the opposite direction.
- the control group 40 rotates in the direction of arrow A, such that said support element 41 assumes a second operating position, in which the second end 53a" and 53b" of respectively the lamellar springs 53a and 53b, is moved and follows the rotation of said support element 41.
- relay 1 switches, because each of the movable contacts 52, due to the bending of the lamellar springs 53a and 53b, comes into contact with the respective fixed contact 51 , closing the electric circuits and thus passing in a second operating position. Every time a switch is carried out, i.e. every time that said support element 41 and said movable contacts 52 pass from the first to the second position and vice versa, relay 1 remains in this position due to magnetic attraction between the switching armatures 43' and the core 32/skirt 33. In order to determine a new switching of the relay 1 , reversing the polarity of the driving coil 31 and giving a new control impulse is sufficient.
- the relay 1 according to the invention has the advantage of directly moving the lamellar springs 53a and 53b without the need to use intermediate plastic or metal components, making the device less subject to malfunction and shock resistant.
- FIGS 11 and 12 show a second embodiment of the relay 1 according to the present invention, in which the electromagnet 30 provides for two coils 31' and 31", wrapped around a plastic support or nonmagnetic material in general, between which a further housing 34 is interposed.
- the core of said electromagnet 30 is substantially "C” shaped, forming an air gap T, and it is constituted by a first portion 32' and a second portion 32", each of which is partially inserted into a respective coil 31' and 31", so that said further housing 34 is located in said air gap T.
- the control group 40 comprises a support element 41 having the housing 42', in which the magnetic unit 43 is placed, substantially centrally arranged.
- Said magnetic unit 43 comprises the pair of switching armatures 43' and a permanent magnet 43. Housing 42' of said control group, and then said magnetic unit 43, is placed in said further housing 34 and, therefore, arranged in the air gap T of said core.
- the support element 41 also comprises the pivots 44, adapted to pivot said support element 41 to the support 24 of said containment enclosure 20, so that it rotates around Y axis (see for example figure 12).
- the support element 41 of the present embodiment also presents, on one side and at the ends, seats 45, to which a group of contacts 50 is coupled, completely analogous to that of the previous embodiment.
- This configuration is achieved as a result of a first polarization of the coil 31 of the electromagnet 30.
- control group 40 rotates in the direction of arrow A, so that said support element 41 assumes a second operating position, in which the first of said switching armatures 43' is in contact with said second portion 32" of said core, and the second of said switching armatures 43" is in contact with said first portion 32' of said core, so that the second end 53a" and 53b" respectively of the lamellar springs 53a and 53b, is moved and follows the rotation of said support element 41.
- relay 1 switches, because each of the movable contacts 52, due to the bending of the lamellar springs 53a and 53b, comes into contact with the respective fixed contact 51 , closing the electric circuits and so passing in a second operating position.
- a further advantage of the present invention is given by the fact that the magnetic unit 43 is guided on the seats present on two walls orthogonal to the base of the support forming part of the same component.
