Definitions

  • control relays fulfill a number of additional criteria, and to provide a relay having multiple features that will make it particularly advantageous, the following objects and advantages are made available in th relay of the invention.
  • a further object is to provide a magnet assembly of a minimum number of parts which interfit in such manner that they can only be assembled in correct orientation with one another.
  • the magnet yoke and armature only fit the coil block in one preselected position, and the coil block slides into a channel shaped base from one end and in one direction of translation.
  • the coil block is preferably of molded material to achieve the intricate configuration desirable for proper fitting of the parts, and upon being slid into the channel shaped base it is caught by a simple catch, and held tightly by associated springs. No screws or other separate parts are required for this assembly.
  • the contact structure in turn, sits upon the channel shaped base, and does not obstruct movement of the coil block and magnetic members as they are translated into and from the base.
  • a further object of the invention is to have a relay comprised of an electromagnet and a multiple contact structure of long, trouble-free life to enhance reliability of the device.
  • Such structure enhances the feature of rapid adaptation of the relay to a particular circuit requirement, and accordingly provides improved relay systems.
  • a particular feature is the use of bias springs to move contacts into their operated positions, rather than a driving force of the magnet armature.
  • the armature is spring biased to its open position, and in this position the armature holds the contacts in their normal positions against opposing contact actuating springs.
  • the armature is retracted and springs actuate the contacts to their operated positions.
  • Gravity and armature closing forces are thereby eliminated as actuating forces, and the relay can be mounted at any angle of repose.
  • a further object is to provide a relay in which the number of necessary contacts can be incorporated without requiring any modification of design or assembly, thereby making the relay highly versatile to satisfy numerous switching applications.

  • the armature Upon energization of the operating coil the armature will be moved so that operating springs for the individual movable contacts can urge the contacts into their operated position.
  • Such an operation is quite normal for relay structures, and the positive retention of the contacts in either the normal or operated positions, by either the force of the armature or that of an actuating spring, is desirable, so that gravity forces are not relied upon in the operation of the device.
  • the relay may then be mounted in any of several positions, and while the relay in the drawing is indicated in an upright, or vertical position it may be quite normal to mount the relay in the horizontal.
  • the magnet assembly a coil block 6 (FIG. 6), a magnetic yoke 7 (FIG. 7),

  • the coil block 6 is formed with two vertical openings 25 of rectangular shape, as viewed from above, to receive the magnetic yoke 7 and armature 8. Operating coils embedded within the block 6 encircle these openings 25 to provide the necessary magnetic flux. A portion of one of these coils is shown in section in FIG. 4, and is designated by the reference numeral 26.
  • the yoke 7 (see FIG. 7) is U-shaped and its legs are inserted from the bottom into the openings 25, so that it is held between the sheet metal plate 18 and a shock absorbant pad 27 afiixed to the undersurface of the coil block 6, as particularly shown in FIG. 4.

  • the pocket 29 has a floor 30 extending between the coil openings 25 with a spring seat formed therein, see particularly FIG. 6, and a pair of concentric springs 31 are seated upon the floor 30.
  • These springs work against the underside of the armature 8 to move it into an upper position, away from the yoke 7, when the coils 26 are deenergized.
  • one spring is a right hand spring, and the other is a left hand spring, so that torque due to spring movements which are applied to the armature 8 are adequately neutralized.
  • the lower contact housing 2 shown in perspective in FIG. 17 as well as various elevational and sectional views in FIGS. 1, 9 and 11-.14 comprises a series of spaced, vertical, fore and aft ribs that form cavities therebetween. These ribs comprise a pair of outer ribs 38 that constitute side walls for the housing, a central rib 39 of slightly thicker cross section than the others, and intermediary ribs 40. Tying the ribs together is a substantially horizontal deck 41 and a rear Wall 42 which extends downwardly from the deck 41 and enclosesa part of the coil block 6, when the housing 2 is mounted in place upon the base frame 5.

  • the bottom surfaces of the ribs 38 are also slightly raised-at the forward ends 44 to seat upon the slightly raised ledges 14, and by reason of this mating construction the lower contact housing 2 can be mounted upon the side walls 10 of the magnet 1 in but one position.
  • Cavities 63 formed between the ribs 5153 of the upper housing 3 are similar to the cavities 47 of the lower housing 2, except that they are foreshortened, and received in.

  • Appropriate mounting screws hold the cover in position, and the 'beveled edge 78 mates with a mating, [beveled slot 80 in the rib 52, to ensure proper orientation of the cover *4 in a single direction of alignment with the housing 3.
  • the contact assemblies The individual contact assemblies 48, 64 are quite similar to one another. Referring first to an assembly 4-8, as shown in FIG/2'0, it comprises a molded insulating body 81 with a hollow interior, as shown in FIGS. 1-1, 12 and 13. A conductive terminal member 82 at each end receives a terminal screw '58 that mounts the assembly 48. The conductive terminal members 82 of an assembly 48 extend inwardly to terminate in stationary contacts 83, that are spaced from one another as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.

  • the upper stems 86 or 87 are in positions for engagement with the stems of contact assemblies 64 in the upper housing 3.
  • the buttons 68 are normally raised, with a corresponding compression of the springs 58, so that when the armature 8 is depressed upon energization of the coil 26 the springs 58 will move the contact actuators 84 downwardly to effect a contact operaton.
  • Each of the upper contact assemblies 64 mounted in upper housing 3, one of which is shown in FIG. 21, has a molded body 90 with a terminal member 91 at each end.
  • Each terminal member 91 includes a stationary contact 93, and associated with each terminal member 91 is a metal tab 92 on the reverse side of the body 90.
  • Each tab 92 has a tubular part extending through the body 98 and riveted to the member 91 to have a unitary terminal. Electrical engagement is then made with a control circuit wire for either position of inversion of an assembly 64.

The armature, in turn, holds the sev eral, individual contact actuators 84, 94 in raised position. This positioning holds the several contact actuating springs 58, 73 compressed.
  • the invention provides a relay having the several advantages enumerated in the introductory remarks.
  • One of the principal advantages is the ability to remove the magnet components without disturbance of the contact assemblies. This removal is readily effected by placing a tool, such as a screwdriver, in the coil block 6 at the vicinity of the tab 35, then pushing down and using the screwdriver as a lever with the fulcrum at a point on the contact housings to move the tool point forward.
  • Thev coil block 6, yoke 7 and armature 8 will then be translated forwardly as a unit for discharge from the channel shaped base frame 5.
  • the contact assemblies are undisturbed.
  • the contact actuators 84, 94 are depressed in response to the several springs 58, 73, and hence the lower actuator stems 86 or 87 protrude beneath the deck 41 of the lower contact housing 2. So that these stems do not interfere with reinsertion of the armature 8, the leading edge of the armature 8 is beveled, as at 8' in FIG. 8. As a result, the armature 8 slides clear of any blocking interference with the contact assemblies upon removal and reinsertion.
