Definitions

  • the invention relates to a relay with a magnet system consisting of a yoke and an armature, in which the armature is mounted on the yoke and a coil, the armature and the yoke engaging with one leg in the coil, the armature L- is shaped and is mounted with its shorter leg on the longer, extending on the outside of the coil leg of the U-shaped, integrally formed yoke and wherein the shorter leg of the yoke engages in the interior of the coil.
  • the armature is held on a spring and is in the known relay in the dropped state inside the coil on the shorter leg of one part of the yoke with an edge and is dimensioned so that it faces over the edges of the air gap between the two End faces of the two parts of the yoke extends beyond.
  • the disadvantage of this known solution is that there are a total of three air gaps due to the two-part yoke, etc. the yoke between the two parts, and in two places between the yoke and the anchor.
  • the magnetic frame consists of three parts that have to be produced accordingly, the reduction in the thickness of the two longer legs in their connection area in particular causing certain problems and costs.
  • the assembly of such a relay requires a corresponding assembly effort.
  • an electromagnetic relay has also become known, which has a through opening in its coil former into which a first, short leg of a U-shaped yoke and the long leg of an L-shaped one Armature reaches into it, which actuates a contact spring with its free end.
  • a working air gap is formed obliquely to the coil axis between this yoke leg and the armature.
  • the armature is supported with its short leg on a leg of the U-shaped yoke running on the outside of the coil.
  • EP-A2-0 062 332 discloses an electromagnetic relay with a coil, a two-part yoke and an armature which engages in a central opening of the coil body, which is provided with projections which protrude into this central opening.
  • the anchor is loosely supported by these projections.
  • a nose is formed on the root of the anchor, which rests on one leg of the yoke and thus defines a pivot point for the anchor.
  • At the other end of the armature there is an actuating comb for moving a spring contact which can be moved between two fixed contacts. In its idle state, the anchor touches the leg of the yoke with its nose and the actuating comb presses the spring contact against the one fixed contact.
  • the armature When the relay coil is excited, the armature is pivoted about the pivot point formed from the yoke leg and armature nose. For the last part of the swiveling process, the anchor nose lifts off the yoke leg, the projection of the coil former serving as the pivot point for the anchor.
  • EP-A2-0 310 091 shows an electromagnetic relay with a coil body, which has a step in its central region. An L-shaped armature and the leg of a yoke engage in an opening of this coil former and thereby form a gap. A fork-like anchor spring holds the anchor in its dropped position.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a relay of the type mentioned, which is easier to manufacture. Furthermore, the invention has also set itself the task of creating a relay compared to the prior art, which can be realized with a smaller number of individual parts. Another object of the invention is that the moving parts have little play.
  • the invention is that the longer leg of the armature is formed as a double-armed lever by support on the inner wall of the coil or the coil body. In this way, it is possible in a simple manner for a normally open contact relay to implement the required armature bearing pressure on the yoke, but in particular there is no need for a separate armature spring.
  • the armature is mounted on the yoke with the edge facing away from the end face of the coil.
  • the end face of the shorter arm of the armature it is also possible for the end face of the shorter arm of the armature to be curved.
  • the armature engages with its shorter leg in a recess of the leg running on the outside of the coil.
  • the armature is supported with its shorter leg in the walls of a housing, with projections projecting laterally from the shorter arm of the armature, which engage in recesses in the walls of the housing.
  • This variant has the advantage that no depressions have to be impressed on the yoke, but are simply made in the housing produced by injection molding. Due to the protrusions protruding to the side, the game can be kept correspondingly low.
  • the shorter leg of the armature has a width which is at least equal to the width of the leg of the yoke running on the outside of the coil, the width of this leg of the yoke being greater than the width of the in the Inside the coil engaging leg of the armature is.
  • the arm is pressed with its shorter leg against the leg of the yoke by means of a spring engaging on this and the leg of the yoke located on the outside of the coil.
  • the spring is designed as a U-shaped leaf spring which at least partially encompasses the longer leg of the yoke and the shorter leg of the armature.
  • the armature 7, which is L-shaped, is mounted with its shorter leg 8, and the type of storage can be selected in many ways.
  • the shorter leg 8 of the armature 7 is supported on the yoke 1 with its edge 10 facing away from the end face 5 of the coil 2.
  • the longer leg 9 of the armature 7 passes through the interior of the coil 2.
  • the width of the longer leg 9 of the armature 7 and the width of the leg 3 of the yoke 1 engaging in the interior of the coil 2 corresponds to the clear width of the interior of the coil, wherein of course, a corresponding game is provided.
  • the shorter leg 8 has a width exceeding the width of the longer leg 9, which corresponds to that of the width of the longer leg 4 of the yoke 1 extending on the outside of the coil 2.
  • a corresponding transmission element for actuating the contact spring set, not shown in FIG. 1, can act on the region of the longer leg 9 of the armature 7 which has a smaller thickness.
  • the armature 7 is provided with projections 11 projecting laterally from its shorter leg 8 with cambered end faces 25, which are arranged coaxially with one another and engage in recesses 12 of a housing 13 which partially surrounds the coil 2 , on which the reels of the coil 2 pass laterally and are connected to connecting pins 15.
  • the longer leg 9 of the armature 7 is supported on the inner wall of the coil 2 or the coil body; the support point represents a pivot point 22.
  • Such a longer leg 9 of the armature 7 is designed as a double-armed lever.
  • the shorter leg 8 with lateral projections is mounted in the housing 13.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further variant of the mounting of the armature 7 on the yoke 1.
  • a recess 23 is arranged near the free end of this leg 4, into which the shorter leg 8 of the anchor engages, the end face of the shorter leg 8 is convex.
  • the armature 7 is pressed by means of a U-shaped leaf spring 24 against the yoke 1, which engages around the longer leg 4 of the yoke 1 and the shorter leg 8 of the armature 7 and is simply attached to these two parts .
  • This type of bearing is particularly suitable for relays with changeover contacts.
  • the longer leg 4 of the yoke which extends on the outside of the coil, has a width which corresponds to the width of the coil 2, the shorter leg 8 of the armature also having this width.
  • the shorter legs of the yoke 1 and the armature 7 have a width which enables these parts to be inserted into the interior of the coil 2.
  • the longer leg 9 has a decreasing thickness in the region near its free end, the thickness of the longer leg 9 decreasing progressively in the relay according to FIG. 2, whereas in the relay according to FIG. 3, the thickness is reduced in stages of the leg 9 is given.
