7a, 37b) and a permanent magnet 38 and the like. The recess 48 is formed at one end of the movable frame 36 made of an insulator.
A boss 49 that fits into the boss 49 is provided in a protruding manner, and a shaft hole 40 into which the rotary shaft 35 is inserted is bored in the boss 49. The shaft hole 40 is pivotally supported by the rotating shaft 35 of the coil frame 31, and the movable frame 36 is rotatable. Two armatures 37 sandwiching a permanent magnet 38 are arranged on the lower surface of the other end of the movable frame 36, and arm portions 41, 50 for driving the leaf springs 14 are formed on both sides of the movable frame 36.

Protrusions 4 formed on both arm portions 41 and 50, respectively.
The leaf springs 14 of both main contact blocks B are arranged in the slits 44 between 2 and 43. Further, a projection 51 for urging the leaf spring 25 of the auxiliary contact block C is provided at the tip of the arm 50 so as to project. In addition, a notch 12a through which the arm portions 41 and 50 of the movable frame 36 are inserted is formed in the central upper portion of the partition wall 12.

A box-like cover 46 made of an insulating material having a lower opening is provided on the base 11 on which the above-mentioned members are arranged. When the movable block D is arranged on the coil block A, The plate spring 14 of the main contact block B is housed in the slit 44 of the movable frame 36, and the protrusion 51 is located inside the plate spring 25 of the auxiliary contact block C. Both armatures 37 are positioned between a pair of voids formed between the magnetic pole surface 30 of the iron core 29 and the magnetic pole piece 28. In this way, the movable block D is arranged above the coil block A to form a polar electromagnet block.

Is. Now, in the non-excited state, one armature 37a is attracted to the iron core 29 and the magnetic pole piece 28 of the other armature 37b is attracted by the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet 38, so that both contacts 15 and 20 of the main contact block B are in the open state. is there.

Further, since the movable frame 36 is biased in the counterclockwise direction, the projection 51 of the movable frame 36 elastically contacts the leaf spring 25 of the auxiliary contact block C to open both contacts 23 and 26. .. Then, the set terminal 34a and the common terminal 3

In this state, when a voltage is applied to the reset terminal 34b and the common terminal 34c, the original state is restored.

Here, in the main contact block B of the main contact,
Since the braided conductor 18 is connected in parallel with the leaf spring 14,
When a large current such as a short-circuit current flows, the current is shunted between the leaf spring 14 and the braided conductor wire 18 to prevent melting of the leaf spring 14 and reduce heat generation of the leaf spring 14. It also prevents melting of the arm portions 41 and 50, which are spring driving portions of the frame 36.

When a short circuit current flows, the conductor plate 16
The iron pieces 17 and 21 provided on the terminal plate 19 generate a suction force to prevent electromagnetic repulsion of the contacts. still,
In order to increase the current withstanding capacity of the leaf spring 14, the cross-sectional area of the leaf spring 14 itself may be increased, but in this case, the spring load becomes large, and matching with the attraction force of the electromagnet of the movable block D becomes difficult. turn into.

However, in this embodiment, since only the leaf spring 14 having a small cross-sectional area is pushed, the spring load similar to that of the conventional relay can be obtained. Although the braided conductor 18 is attached to the conductor plate 16 in this embodiment, the braided conductor 18 may be directly connected to the back surface of the movable contact 15 or the like. In the embodiment of the present invention, the main contact side is the flexure and the auxiliary contact side is the lift-off type, but the invention is not limited to this. Further, on the auxiliary contact side, in order to improve reliability, the contacts 23 and 26 are plated with gold or the like.

And a pair of main contact blocks for controlling the load, and the main contact blocks are arranged on both sides of the electromagnet block on the base, and a partition wall made of an insulating material is erected from the base between the blocks. Therefore, by separating the electromagnet block and the main contact block with a partition wall made of an insulating material erected from the base, the insulation distance between the signal system electromagnet block and the load system main contact block can be increased. It can be made longer and the withstand voltage can be secured.
The partition wall provided on the base can increase the insulation distance, which is a measure of the withstand voltage, that is, the spatial distance and the creepage distance.The partition wall determines the distance between the yokes of the electromagnet block, and the positioning accuracy of the electromagnet block with respect to the base.
