Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromagnetic relay with a base body with a bottom surface forming the connection side of the relay, an electromagnetic system arranged on the base body with coil, core and armature, a contact arrangement anchored in the base body with at least one mating contact element and at least one movable contact spring designed as a leaf spring , of which a contact leg provided with a contact point extends essentially perpendicular to the bottom surface, and an actuating element which transmits the armature movement to the contact spring.
  • Such a relay is described for example in DE-C-34 14 731.
  • an actuating slide is located above the magnet system with respect to the connection side of the relay and also above the contact arrangement, the slide acting on a central contact spring directly above the contact points. Since the slide must be made of plastic material, a certain amount of abrasion can never be completely avoided. In the normal installation position of the relay, however, this abrasion falls downwards in the direction of the contact pieces, and there is a risk that, over time, the finest particles from the insulating material of the slide will contaminate the contact surfaces and increase the contact resistance.
  • a similarly constructed relay is known from DE-A-35 39 944, although the slide is located on the connection side of the relay below the magnet system. In the normal installation position of the relay, the contact points are above the slide, so that the abrasion does not fall on the contact surfaces.
  • this arrangement with the slide located between the contact points and the connection side has the Disadvantage that a changeover contact cannot be formed easily since the centrally arranged slide would intersect with the second mating contact element which is also centrally arranged.
  • the second mating contact element with a recess for the slide, this results in a complicated manufacture and assembly. It must also be borne in mind that relays on printed circuit boards can also be installed so that the connection side is on top. In this case, the coupling point between slide and contact spring would also lie above the contact point and the abrasion dust would fall on the contact surfaces in the second-mentioned relay.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a relay of the type mentioned, in which the risk of abrasion falling from the actuating element onto the contact points is largely avoided, while at the same time achieving a simple structure and simple assignment between the contact arrangement, magnet system and actuating element becomes.
  • this object is achieved in the relay of the type mentioned at the outset in that the contact point and the point of application of the actuating element on the contact spring are offset from one another in such a way that they are spaced apart from one another in the projection onto the floor surface.
  • the actuating element engages laterally offset with respect to the contact point on the contact spring, so that the point of attack is neither in the normal installation position nor in the reverse installation position above the contact point. Due to the laterally offset arrangement, an actuating element can easily be guided past a mating contact element even in the case of a changeover contact, without this requiring a special shape of the contact element or of the actuating element.
  • a laterally offset actuation of the contact spring also brings with it the advantage that the torsion movement caused thereby in the contact spring causes the contact pieces to roll off, which enables a self-cleaning effect or easier tearing of the contacts when they are slightly welded by the switching arc.
  • the point of attack of the actuating element may lie above the contact point.
  • the contact point and the point of application of the actuating element are additionally offset with respect to one another in terms of height with respect to the base surface.
  • the contact point and actuation point of the contact spring are offset with respect to one another with respect to the connection side, so that when standing or lying installation in any position, the resulting abrasion falls down next to the contacts and thus the contact points are no longer directly contaminated.
  • the contact point and the actuation point of the contact spring could only lie one above the other if the relay were installed in a specific inclined position, which is extremely unlikely.
  • the design according to the invention can be used particularly advantageously in a relay in which the coil has its axis parallel to the bottom surface, the armature is arranged approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface on one end of the coil and the contact arrangement is arranged in front of the end face of the coil opposite the armature , as is known from DE-C-34 14 731 already mentioned at the beginning.
  • a rod-shaped, on the outside of the coil in the direction of the coil axis serves as the actuating element extending slide, the contact points of the contact arrangement being arranged on one side with respect to a plane which passes through the coil axis and is perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the slide is arranged on the other side.
  • the slide is arranged between the coil and the base plate.
  • an actuating tab offset at an angle to the contact point is expediently formed or cut onto the free end of the contacting leg of the contact spring.
  • this actuating flap can be made particularly narrow, or a web with a reduced cross-section can be provided between it and the actual contact leg.
  • the contact spring itself has approximately the shape of an inverted U, wherein it is fastened with one leg to a connecting element anchored in the base body and carries a contact piece on the second leg and forms an engagement point for the slide.
  • a connecting element anchored in the base body
  • the connection element for the contact spring is anchored in the area of the opposite side of the base body, the two legs of the contact spring being offset obliquely to one another in parallel planes . In this way, the best possible spacing of the connecting elements and the greatest possible spring length of the contact spring are obtained with the most economical use of space.
  • the connector for the contact spring can also have an adjustment web with a reduced cross section.
  • the relay shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a base body 1 with a bottom surface 1a and a design shown in more detail in FIG.
  • a magnet system with a coil 2, a core 3 arranged inside the coil in the axial direction, an angular yoke 4 and a flat armature 5 is arranged on the base body 1.
  • the coil axis runs parallel to the connection level of the relay.
  • the yoke 4 is arranged such that its short leg 4a extends perpendicular to the connection plane in front of one end of the coil and is connected to the core, while its long leg 4b extends parallel to the connection plane, but above the coil 2 and at its free end End forms a storage for the anchor 5.
  • a leaf spring 6 designed as a bearing plate and anchor spring serves to support the armature 5 at the free yoke end, the special shape of which is described and shown in EP-A-0 251 034.
  • the armature 5 extends in front of the end face of the coil opposite the yoke leg 4a and forms a working air gap with the free end of the core 3.
  • the plate-shaped armature 5 extends approximately perpendicular to the connection plane of the relay, so that its free end 5a is located on the underside of the magnet system.
  • This free end 5a is coupled to a rod-shaped slide 7 which extends below the coil 2 parallel to its axis, but is arranged offset from the center to one side.
  • a contact arrangement is anchored in the base body 1 in front of the end of the coil 2 opposite the armature.
  • This contact arrangement consists of two fixed mating contact elements 8 and 9 with contact pieces 8a and 9a and a center contact spring 10.
  • the mating contact elements 8 and 9 are anchored with their angled connecting elements 8b and 9b in corresponding slots or openings 11 and 12 of the base body.
  • the counter-contact elements 8 and 9 are arranged opposite to the slide 7 from the center to the side.
  • the center contact spring 10 is fastened with a connection bracket 13 in an opening 14 of the base body on the side of the slide 7.
  • the special shape of the contact spring 10 can be seen in the perspective view of FIG. 4.
  • the spring has approximately a U-shape with a fastening leg 15, a middle part 16 and a contact leg 17.
  • the middle part 16 has approximately the shape of a parallelogram, so that the contact leg 17 is offset parallel to the fastening leg 15.
  • the mounting leg 15 is thus with the connection bracket 13 on one side of the base body in the extension of the slide 7, while the contact leg 17 is on the other side of the base body between the counter-contact elements 8 and 9.
  • This shape of the contact spring 10 results on the one hand in a large spring length, but on the other hand also the possibility of isolating the connection angle 13 far from the connection legs 8b or 9b of the mating contact elements in the insulation Arrange base body.
  • the base body 1 also has an upwardly formed partition wall 18.
  • an actuating tab 19 is integrally formed on the free end of the contact leg 17, which is located in the extension of the slider 7 and into a recess 20 of the Basic body extends in which the slide is also located.
  • a pin 7a formed at the end of the slide 7 engages in a recess 19a of the actuating tab 19.
  • the other end of the slide 7 is coupled to the armature in the same way by a pin 7b.
  • the offset arrangement of the actuating tab 19 with respect to the contact leg 17 also has the advantage that a certain torsional stress on the contact spring 10 and thus a rolling movement on the contact piece 17a is generated when actuated. As a result, the contact can be broken more easily even after light welding.
  • the force-displacement characteristic of the relay can also be set. An additional one could also be used to further tune this force-displacement characteristic Slit 22 (indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 4) can be provided in this area.
  • connection bracket 13 In order to be able to adjust the position of the contact spring 10, a notch is provided on the connection bracket 13 to form a predetermined bending point 23. It should also be pointed out that a changeover contact arrangement is shown in the exemplary embodiment shown. By leaving the counter-contact element 9, a normally open contact can be obtained without any other change, and by opening the counter-contact element 8, an NC contact can be obtained.
  • the structure of the base body can also be seen in the perspective view of FIG. 4.
  • the special feature of the base body is the asymmetrical design of the support part 23 for the coil. This design creates a longitudinal channel 24 on one side, in which the slide 7 can extend as far as the depression 20.
  • a shoe-like partition 25 is formed on the base body 1 for insulation between the coil 2, the core 3 and the yoke 4. After assembly of the functional parts on the base body, a cap 26 is slipped on from above, which additionally increases the insulation between the magnetic circuit and the contact arrangement with an intermediate wall 27.
