Definitions

  • the invention relates to a relay with a coupling element, according to the preamble of Claim 1 (DE-A-19 600 314).
  • a relay with a coupling element according to the preamble of Claim 1 (DE-A-19 600 314).
  • Double or triple relay functions to get out of a "single relay” to make a “twin” or “triplet”.
  • Such a need exists especially in security technology, where it is important that in Error, for example when merging or blocking contacts there are still parallel contacts that take over the switching function.
  • Another need is to use as little wiring as possible to accommodate a large number of relay contacts in the smallest possible space. Again, it is necessary to perform certain electrical functions of the single relay transferred to the twin made from it, in order to to avoid unwanted redundancy. For example, in this case it is desires that in a relay twin all passive contact springs both the one as well as the other spring box on the same electrical potential lie. But you don’t want to make any connections on a circuit board, which meets this requirement, but the contact springs should immediately be electrically connected.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a relay of the input mentioned type so to form that without circuitry to a relay twin or a relay triplet can be formed.
  • a coupling element is provided which mechanically couples several spring brackets to one another.
  • a single relay can be quickly connected via a connection Coupling element to a multiple relay, e.g. B. a relay twin or a relay triplet.
  • the coupling element also carries the electrical through connection between the spring brackets in itself, so that an external connection effort (e.g. via a circuit board on which the relays are seated with their connecting pins) is avoided. and that with the help of the mechanical coupling of the coupling element, the electrical coupling of the spring brackets to be connected is simultaneously produced.
  • the electrical connection of the interconnecting spring brackets takes place via the passive contact springs.
  • individual passive contact springs are no longer assigned to the respective spring block, but that one of the two spring blocks is assigned a double contact spring which consists of two individual contact springs which are connected to one another by means of an electrically conductive connecting web.
  • This has the advantage that such a double contact spring is first connected to the coupling element and that the coupling element is then connected to the spring brackets to be connected, so that one spring of the double contact spring forms, for example, the passive contact spring of a spring bracket, while the other spring Double contact spring, which forms the other passive contact spring of the other spring bracket. Both contact springs are then due to their electrical connection via the connecting web which penetrates the contact element at the same electrical potential.
  • active and passive contact springs should not be understood as restricting intellectual property rights. Rather, it is within the scope of the invention, instead of the passive contact springs described here, to connect the active contact springs in an electrically conductive manner by means of a contact element via a coupling element in that the respective associated contact spring is arranged on each side of the coupling element and the electrically conductive connection between this contact springs is brought about by a connecting web which passes through the coupling element and is fastened to it.
  • the Coupling of the coupling element latching and releasable with the connecting spring brackets is formed.
  • the Coupling of the coupling element with the spring brackets is fixed. It can be an adhesive, sweat or other liquid substance Connection.
  • a particularly compact structure results when the active and passive contact springs are arranged at an angle of 90 °.
  • the coupling element made of an insulating material exists and at least one parallel to the contact rows of the relay has running partition on which side lugs are formed, which engage in assigned receiving openings on the respective spring bracket.
  • Grooves are formed between the lateral approaches of the partition, which are suitable for receiving the contact springs.
  • parallel to the longitudinal axes of the receiving openings in the respective spring bracket to the front Open slots are arranged, there can be the passive contact springs be inserted.
  • the single relay consists of a spring bracket 1 on which the drive 5 is arranged.
  • An active contact spring 2 is lying on the spring bracket 1 arranged, which is actuated by an actuator 4.
  • Standing in the spring trestle a passive contact spring 3 each arranged. All contact sets are in one Contact row 25 arranged, the contact sets from each other assigned partitions 12 are separated from each other.
  • the respective passive contact spring is located on a housing-fixed Dock 11 on.
  • the drive system is led out downwards Pins 6 contacted, as well as the active and passive contact springs 2, 3 are led out downwards by assigned connecting pins 7.
  • the one end face of the spring bracket 1 has receiving openings 8 which are open at the end and which are intended for the engagement of associated projections 16 of a coupling element 14. Between the receiving openings 8, slots 9 are formed, into which the passive contact springs 3 are inserted from the front side and are held there. The mounting is carried out by multiple cranked grooves 10, so that a cheap, stable mounting of the respective contact spring 3 is guaranteed.
  • a relay twin according to FIGS. 2 to 4 is now to be created from the relay single according to FIG. 1.
  • the coupling element 14 is provided, which essentially consists of a plastic part which has a central partition wall 15, the height of which corresponds approximately to the height of the spring bracket 1,13.
  • the lugs 16, which are intended to engage in the associated receiving openings 8 of the spring brackets 1, 13, extend from the partition wall 12 in opposite directions.
  • the partition 15 forms an approximately T-shaped shape in the lower region a cross member 20 formed on the partition 15, on the underside thereof Support ribs 17 are arranged.
  • a cheap, rigid, mechanical connection between the spring brackets to be connected 1.13 reached because, as shown in Figure 3, the cross member 20 engages in one assigned, one-sided, open snap-in receptacle 19 and is assigned there Locking means 18 set.
  • Spacer ribs 24 are also arranged laterally on the partition 15, which are spaced for the assigned end faces of the receiving openings 8. At these spacing ribs 24, the end faces of the Receiving openings 8 of the respective spring blocks 1.13.
  • Double contact spring 21 is provided, as shown in Figure 4.
  • she consists from the aforementioned passive contact springs 3, which by means of an electrical conductive connecting web 22 are interconnected.
