Electromagnetic relay

Номер: US20120256713A1
Принадлежит: Individual

In an electromagnetic relay, length from a movable contact to an end portion of a movable element on a first end side is set greater than length from the movable contact to another end portion of the movable element on a second end side opposite to the first end side. A direction of a Lorentz force acting on a portion of the movable element from the movable contact to the end portion of the movable element on the first end side is conformed to a direction for bringing fixed contacts and movable contacts into contact with each other. Thus, separation between the movable contacts and the fixed contacts due to an electromagnetic repulsive force can be inhibited.

Принадлежит:

The present invention provides a novel on-off transmission device for high voltage electric switch, comprising conducting rod and switch actuating device to actuate the reciprocating motion of the conducting rod, wherein an insulation layer is coated on the circumferential wall of the conducting rod. The present invention designs the conducting rod to be covered outside by a solid insulation layer, between the outlet terminals at both sides; one end of the insulated conducting rod is directly connected to the moving contact of the breaking element, while the other end thereof connected to the outlet terminal via a sliding conducting assembly with a slide (a flexible connection with conducting wire connected can also be used). An insulation main shaft and an insulation crank arm rotate and swing to actuate the linear reciprocating motion of the conducting rod, so that the use of redundant elements such as an insulated tension pole, a conducting clip and a flexible connection is avoided, and the contact compressing spring sheet is directly applied to the externally insulated conducting rod. Besides, the insulation portion is directly provided outside the conducting rod, which not only cuts down the cost of production, but also makes the overall structure compacted, simplified and miniaturized, and detachment and maintenance become more convenient. 1.
