Definitions
- the present invention relates to a relay for closing or interrupting the circuit between two relay contacts.
- Such relays are well known and are used, for example, as disconnectors in the vehicle sector for 48V applications or in a battery management system for Li-ion batteries.
- the relay disconnects the vehicle electrical system (+ pole) from vehicle consumers. This protects the cells and the vehicle from critical situations.
- the requirements in a vehicle make it necessary to withstand extreme shock situations, for example in the event of a crash: the relay has opened and must remain in this state even after the crash; Here acceleration values of approx. 150 g occur for 10 ms.
- these relays are also integrated as disconnectors in battery management systems up to 50VDC. The relay must also be able to switch off overcurrent situations, ie avoid short circuits in the battery.
- the signs of acceleration acting on the armature and on the contact bridge are reversed in the event of a shock, so that the total torque acting on the armature and on the contact bridge is mutually reduced by the lever deflection and the relay therefore remains in its previous state despite the shock.
- the relay can be implemented in a monostable version as normaly open or in a bistable version.
- the mass M1 and the lever length L1 of the contact bridge and for the mass M2 and the lever length L2 of the armature preferably applies: 0.5 ⁇ (M1 * L1) / (M2 * L2) ⁇ 2, particularly preferably: 0.95 ⁇ ( M1 * L1) / (M2 * L2) ⁇ 1.05.
- M1 * L1 M2 * L2
- the contact bridge and the armature are arranged on the same side of the double-armed lever.
- the contact bridge and the armature can also be arranged on different sides of the double-armed lever.
- the contact bridge is preferably resiliently mounted in the displacement direction in a bridge cage which is displaceably guided in the relay housing in the displacement direction and on which a lever arm is articulated.
- the mass M1 is given by the total mass of the contact bridge and bridge cage.
- the contact bridge is advantageously biased in the bridge cage in the direction of the relay contacts, which on the one hand specifies the contact pressure with which the contact bridge is in contact with the relay contacts in the closed relay position, and on the other hand causes the relay to close with less bounce.
- the contact bridge can be formed by a single wide bridge or, which is preferred, by a plurality of parallel, narrow individual bridges, each with two contact heads.
- the two electrical relay contacts are preferably arranged on the free ends of two mutually facing, U-shaped relay connection contacts.
- Relay (disconnector) 1 shown is used to close or interrupt the circuit between two electrical relay contacts 2 1 , 2 2 , which are arranged as contact heads at the free ends of two mutually facing, U-shaped relay connection contacts 3 1 , 3 2 .
- each relay contact 2 1 , 2 2 is formed by a series of three contact heads.
- an electrically conductive contact bridge 5 (for example made of copper) is guided in the relay housing 4 in the direction of the double arrow 6 between two relay positions.
- the contact bridge 5 In the one, closed relay position, the contact bridge 5 is in each case with three contact buttons 5 1 and 5 2 on the two relay contacts 2 1 , 2 2 and is in the other, open relay position, which in the FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown, lifted from the two relay contacts 2 1 , 2 2 .
- the relay 1 has a magnetic drive 7 with a magnet coil 8 and an armature 9 which is displaceable parallel to the direction of displacement 6 of the contact bridge 5 and which moves from its one end position by reversing the polarity of the magnet coil 8 against the restoring force of a compression spring 10 into its other End position is displaceable.
- a double-armed lever 12 is also rotatably mounted about an axis 13 extending at right angles to the direction of displacement 6, on one lever arm 12a of which the armature 9 at 14a and on the other arm 12b of which the contact bridge 5 at 14b are articulated.
- the magnetic drive 7 is designed as a monostable lifting magnet and the armature 9 as a plunger core (plunger) which is guided in the magnetic coil 8 in a linear manner.
- the contact bridge 5 can be resiliently mounted in a bridge cage 15 (for example made of steel) which carries the axis 14b and is in turn guided in the relay housing 4 in the direction of displacement 6 between the two two relay positions.
- the contact bridge 5 consists of several (here three by way of example) parallel single bridges 5a, 5b, 5c , each with two contact heads 5 1 , 5 2 , which are displaceably guided independently of one another in the bridge cage 15 in the direction of displacement 6.
- the left single bridge 5a is omitted for reasons of clarity.
- the individual bridges 5a, 5b, 5c are each prestressed by a compression spring 17 supported on the cage ceiling 16 in contact with an intermediate floor 18 of the bridge cage 15.
- the intermediate floor 18 is designed as a separate steel sheet and has a plurality of bent guide fingers 19 in order to separate the individual bridges 5a, 5b, 5b from one another and to guide them against tilting in the direction of displacement 6.
- the bridge cage 15 carries a guide cap 20 which overlaps the cage cover 16 and by means of which the bridge cage 15 is displaceably guided in a plastic holder 21 of the relay housing 4.
- the guided side walls of the bridge cage 15 each have only one punctiform guide projection 22 and the guided sides of the guide cap 20 have a plurality of guide ribs 23 , so that in operation, despite hot individual bridges 5a, 5b, 5b, the bridge cage 15 and the guide cap 20 preferably do not come into contact with the plastic holder 21 come and can melt on it or the individual bridges 5a, 5b, 5b, if possible, cannot shift or block against each other.
- the magnetic field of magnet coil 8 is switched on or off.
- the anchor 9 is, as in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown, pressed down by the compression spring 10 when the magnetic field is switched off and thereby also pushes the bridge cage 15 together with the individual bridges 5a, 5b, 5b up via the lever 10, until in the open relay position the single bridges 5a, 5b, 5b from the relay contacts 2 1 , 2 2 are lifted off.
- the mutually facing, U-shaped relay connection contacts 3 1 , 3 2 also reduces dynamic lifting at high short-circuit currents, since the magnetic field which is generated by the current flowing through the U-shaped relay connection contacts 3 1 , 3 2 , the individual bridges 5a , 5b, 5b additionally presses in the contact closing direction.
- the movable parts of the magnetic drive 7, that is to say the magnet armature 9, and the contact bridge 5 (including the bridge cage 15) are designed such that for the mass M1 (including the bridge cage 15 ) and the lever length L1 of the contact bridge 5 as well as for the mass M2 and the lever length L2 of the armature 9 applies: M1 * L1 ⁇ M2 * L2.
- M1 * L1 ⁇ M2 * L2 the torques acting on the armature 9 and on the contact bridge 5 cancel each other out, which is achieved by the lever deflection.
- the signs of acceleration and torque are therefore inverse.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Relais zum Schließen oder Unterbrechen des Stromkreises zwischen zwei Relaiskontakten.The present invention relates to a relay for closing or interrupting the circuit between two relay contacts.
Solche Relais sind hinlänglich bekannt und werden beispielsweise als Trennschalter im Fahrzeugbereich für 48V-Anwendungen oder in einem Batteriemanagementsystem für Li-Ionen-Batterien eingesetzt. In Situationen, in denen die Batteriezellen nicht mehr ausbalanciert werden können, wie z.B. in kritischen thermischen Zuständen der Batterie oder in Gefahrsituationen (Crash), trennt das Relais das Bordnetz (+-Pol) von den Fahrzeugverbrauchern. Dadurch werden die Zellen und das Fahrzeug vor kritischen Situationen geschützt. Durch die Anforderungen in einem Fahrzeug ist es erforderlich, extreme Schocksituationen zu bestehen, z.B. in einem Crash-Fall: das Relais hat geöffnet und muss diesen Zustand auch nach dem Crash beibehalten; hier treten Beschleunigungswerte von ca. 150g für 10ms auf. In dezentralen Batteriespeichersystemen wie Solarenergiespeichern werden bis 50VDC diese Relais ebenfalls als Trennschalter in Batteriemanagementsysteme integriert. Das Relais muss auch Überstromsituationen abschalten können, d.h. Kurzschlüsse in der Batterie vermeiden.Such relays are well known and are used, for example, as disconnectors in the vehicle sector for 48V applications or in a battery management system for Li-ion batteries. In situations in which the battery cells can no longer be balanced, such as in critical thermal states of the battery or in dangerous situations (crash), the relay disconnects the vehicle electrical system (+ pole) from vehicle consumers. This protects the cells and the vehicle from critical situations. The requirements in a vehicle make it necessary to withstand extreme shock situations, for example in the event of a crash: the relay has opened and must remain in this state even after the crash; Here acceleration values of approx. 150 g occur for 10 ms. In decentralized battery storage systems such as solar energy stores, these relays are also integrated as disconnectors in battery management systems up to 50VDC. The relay must also be able to switch off overcurrent situations, ie avoid short circuits in the battery.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei einem Relais sicherzustellen, dass das Relais, wenn einmal geöffnet, durch einen Crash nicht wieder geschossen wird.It is therefore the object of the present invention to ensure, in the case of a relay, that the relay, once opened, is not fired again by a crash.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Relais zum Schließen oder Unterbrechen des Stromkreises zwischen zwei Relaiskontakten gelöst, aufweisend:
- eine zwischen zwei Relaispositionen verschiebbare, elektrisch leitende Kontaktbrücke, die in der einen, geschlossenen Relaisposition an den beiden Relaiskontakten anliegt und in der anderen, geöffneten Relaisposition von den beiden Relais kontakten abgehoben ist,
- einen Magnetantrieb mit einer Magnetspule und einem parallel oder nahezu parallel zur Verschieberichtung der Kontaktbrücke verschiebbar geführten Anker, der durch Umpolen der Magnetspule verschiebbar ist, und
- einen im Relaisgehäuse drehbar um eine rechtwinklig zur Verschieberichtung verlaufende Achse gelagerten, doppelarmigen Hebel, an dessen einem Hebelarm die Kontaktbrücke und an dessen anderem Hebelarm der Anker angelenkt sind.
- an electrically conductive contact bridge which can be moved between two relay positions and which is in one closed relay position against the two relay contacts and in the other open relay position is lifted off the two relay contacts,
- a magnet drive with a magnet coil and an armature displaceably guided parallel or almost parallel to the direction of displacement of the contact bridge, which armature can be displaced by reversing the polarity of the magnet coil, and
- one in the relay housing rotatable about an axis running at right angles to the direction of displacement, double-armed lever, on one lever arm the contact bridge and on the other lever arm the armature.
Erfindungsgemäß sind bei einem Stoß die auf den Anker und auf die Kontaktbrücke wirkenden Beschleunigungsvorzeichen invers, so dass das auf den Anker und auf die Kontaktbrücke wirkende Gesamtdrehmoment durch die Hebelumlenkung gegenseitig verringert ist und dadurch das Relais trotz des Stoßes in dem bisherigen Zustand gehalten bleibt. Das Relais kann in einer monostabilen Version als Normaly Open oder in einer bistabilen Version ausgeführt werden.According to the invention, the signs of acceleration acting on the armature and on the contact bridge are reversed in the event of a shock, so that the total torque acting on the armature and on the contact bridge is mutually reduced by the lever deflection and the relay therefore remains in its previous state despite the shock. The relay can be implemented in a monostable version as normaly open or in a bistable version.
Für die Masse M1 und die Hebellänge L1 der Kontaktbrücke sowie für die Masse M2 und die Hebellänge L2 des Ankers gilt bevorzugt: 0,5 < (M1*L1)/(M2*L2) < 2, besonders bevorzugt: 0,95 < (M1*L1)/(M2*L2) < 1,05. Je mehr sich die bei einem Stoß auf den Anker und auf die Kontaktbrücke wirkenden Drehmomente kompensieren, desto kleiner das resultierende Gesamtdrehmoment, und das Relais bleibt trotz des Stoßes in dem bisherigen Zustand gehalten. Idealerweise sind die bei einem Stoß auf den Anker und auf die Kontaktbrücke wirkenden Drehmomente vollständig kompensiert, d.h., es gilt: M1*L1 = M2*L2. Sind an der Kontaktbrücke weitere Teile angebracht, über die die Kontraktbrücke an dem einen Hebelarm angelenkt ist, so ist die Masse M1 durch die Gesamtmasse aller auf der Kontaktbrückenseite vorhandenen, mitbewegten Teile und der Hebelarm L1 durch den Anlenkpunkt am doppelarmigen Hebel definiert.For the mass M1 and the lever length L1 of the contact bridge and for the mass M2 and the lever length L2 of the armature, the following preferably applies: 0.5 <(M1 * L1) / (M2 * L2) <2, particularly preferably: 0.95 <( M1 * L1) / (M2 * L2) <1.05. The more the torques acting on the armature and on the contact bridge are compensated for, the smaller the resulting total torque, and the relay remains in its previous state despite the shock. Ideally, the torques acting on the armature and the contact bridge in the event of an impact are completely compensated, i.e. the following applies: M1 * L1 = M2 * L2. If additional parts are attached to the contact bridge, via which the contract bridge is articulated on one lever arm, the mass M1 is defined by the total mass of all moving parts on the contact bridge side and the lever arm L1 by the articulation point on the double-armed lever.
Für eine kompakte Bauweise des Relais ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Kontaktbrücke und der Anker auf derselben Seite des doppelarmigen Hebels angeordnet sind. Alternativ können die Kontaktbrücke und der Anker aber auch auf unterschiedlichen Seiten des doppelarmigen Hebels angeordnet sein.For a compact design of the relay, it is advantageous if the contact bridge and the armature are arranged on the same side of the double-armed lever. Alternatively, the contact bridge and the armature can also be arranged on different sides of the double-armed lever.
Vorzugsweise ist die Kontaktbrücke in einem Brückenkäfig, welcher im Relaisgehäuse in der Verschieberichtung verschiebbar geführt und an dem einen Hebelarm angelenkt ist, in der Verschieberichtung federnd gelagert. Bei dieser Brückenaufhängung mit gefederter Lagerung ist die Masse M1 durch die Gesamtmasse von Kontaktbrücke und Brückenkäfig gegeben. Dabei ist die Kontaktbrücke vorteilhaft in dem Brückenkäfig in Richtung auf die Relaiskontakte vorgespannt, was einerseits den Anpressdruck vorgibt, mit dem die Kontaktbrücke in der geschlossenen Relaisposition an den Relaiskontakten anliegt, und andererseits ein prellreduziertes Schließen des Relais bewirkt.The contact bridge is preferably resiliently mounted in the displacement direction in a bridge cage which is displaceably guided in the relay housing in the displacement direction and on which a lever arm is articulated. With this spring suspension bridge suspension, the mass M1 is given by the total mass of the contact bridge and bridge cage. The contact bridge is advantageously biased in the bridge cage in the direction of the relay contacts, which on the one hand specifies the contact pressure with which the contact bridge is in contact with the relay contacts in the closed relay position, and on the other hand causes the relay to close with less bounce.
Die Kontaktbrücke kann durch eine einzige breite Brücke oder, was bevorzugt ist, durch mehrere parallele, schmale Einzelbrücken mit je zwei Kontaktköpfen gebildet sein.The contact bridge can be formed by a single wide bridge or, which is preferred, by a plurality of parallel, narrow individual bridges, each with two contact heads.
Vorzugsweise sind die beiden elektrischen Relaiskontakten an den freien Enden zweier einander zugewandter, U-förmiger Relaisanschlusskontakte angeordnet.The two electrical relay contacts are preferably arranged on the free ends of two mutually facing, U-shaped relay connection contacts.
Dadurch wird ein dynamisches Abheben der Kontaktbrücke bei hohen Kurzschlussströmen reduziert, da das Magnetfeld, welches von dem durch die U-förmigen Relaisanschlusskontakte fließenden Strom erzeugt wird, die Kontaktbrücke zusätzlich in Kontaktschließrichtung drückt.This reduces the dynamic lifting of the contact bridge at high short-circuit currents, since the magnetic field, which is generated by the current flowing through the U-shaped relay connection contacts, additionally pushes the contact bridge in the contact closing direction.
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstands der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar. Ebenso können die vorstehend genannten und die noch weiter aufgeführten Merkmale je für sich oder zu mehreren in beliebigen Kombinationen Verwendung finden.

Der Zwischenboden 18 ist als separates Stahlblech ausgebildet und weist mehrere umgebogene Führungsfinger 19 auf, um die Einzelbrücken 5a, 5b, 5b voneinander zu trennen und in der Verschieberichtung 6 verkippsicher zu führen. Der Brückenkäfig 15 trägt eine die Käfigdecke 16 übergreifende Führungskappe 20, mittels der der Brückenkäfig 15 in einem Kunststoffhalter 21 des Relaisgehäuses 4 verschiebbar geführt ist. Für einen minimalen Kontakt mit dem Kunststoffhalter 21 weisen die geführten Seitenwände des Brückenkäfigs 15 jeweils nur einen punktuellen Führungsvorsprung 22 und die geführten Seiten der Führungskappe 20 mehrere Führungsrippen 23 auf, damit im Betrieb trotz heißer Einzelbrücken 5a, 5b, 5b der Brückenkäfig 15 und die Führungskappe 20 möglichst nicht mit dem Kunststoffhalter 21 in Berührung kommen und daran anschmilzen können bzw. die Einzelbrücken 5a, 5b, 5b sich möglichst nicht gegeneinander verschieben oder blockieren können.The

In diesem Fall heben sich bei einem Stoß die auf den Anker 9 und auf die Kontaktbrücke 5 wirkenden Drehmomente gegenseitig auf, was durch die Hebelumlenkung erreicht wird. Die Beschleunigungs- bzw.
