In an electromagnetic relay device, a mover includes a movable contact movable to abut onto and separate from a stationary contact through a contact region defined between the movable and the stationary contacts. A plunger causes the mover to reciprocate to accordingly cause the movable contact to abut onto or separate from the stationary contact. A solenoid unit of the electromagnetic relay device includes an electromagnetic coil, a movable core, and a support member that slidably supports an outer peripheral surface of a slidable contact portion of the movable core. A movable wall member is located between the slidable contact portion and the contact region. The movable wall member reciprocates together with the plunger. The movable wall member is arranged to occupy a region in the electromagnetic relay device. The region contains at least the slidable contact portion when viewed in the reciprocation direction.

Electromagnetic relay device

An electromagnetic relay includes a movable element, a movable yoke, a fixed yoke, a movable section, and a stopper. The movable element includes a movable contact point. The movable yoke is connected to the movable element to move together with the movable element. The movable section includes a movable core made of an inorganic magnetic material and a shaft made of an inorganic material. The fixed yoke is made of an inorganic magnetic material and disposed between the movable core and the movable yoke. The stopper protrudes from either one of the fixed yoke or the movable section toward the other to contact with the other when the movable section moves toward the fixed yoke. The stopper is integrally formed with the either one of the fixed yoke or the movable section.

Electromagnetic relay

An electromagnetic relay includes: a coil; a housing that supports the coil; a non-movable portion supported by the housing and including a fixed core and a fixed magnetic path defining member; and a movable portion provided to be reciprocally movable along a center axis line of the coil according to an energization state of the coil. The movable portion includes a movable core disposed to face the fixed core along the center axis line. The movable portion integrally has a flange portion protruding in a coil radial direction perpendicular to the center axis line to define a separation distance and/or a facing area in a magnetic gap between the fixed magnetic path defining member and the movable core by abutting against the non-movable portion.

An electromagnetic relay includes a base frame including a main body supporting a fixed element, and a bottom plate having a plate thickness direction in an extending direction orthogonal to a central-axis line direction. An intermediate cover includes a covering plate facing a contact mechanism unit. An outer cover includes a top plate facing the bottom plate across the contact mechanism unit, and a first side plate extending from one end of the top plate and facing the covering plate. A first gap between the covering plate and the bottom plate in the extending direction and a second gap between the covering plate and the top plate in the extending direction are arranged to be substantially symmetric across the covering plate in the extending direction, the first gap and the second gap being on the first side plate.

An electromagnetic relay includes: an excitation coil; a movable core; a movable contactor that operates by following the movable core; a fixed contactor that is in contact with the movable contactor when the excitation coil is energized; a base that supports the fixed contactor; a fixed yoke fixed to the base; a moving yoke; a first pressing spring that biases the moving yoke toward the movable contactor; and a second pressing spring that biases the movable contactor such that the movable contactor and the fixed contactor are in contact with each other. The moving yoke is disposed to be in contact with a surface of the movable contactor opposite from the fixed contactor and to oppose the fixed yoke through the movable contactor. The moving yoke is provided to be able to contact and separate from the movable contactor.

An electromagnetic relay includes a mobile component movable at time of energization and de-energization of a coil, and a fixed component immovable at the time of energization and de-energization of the coil. A damping space is provided between the mobile component and the fixed component and changes in volume with the movement of the mobile component. A gap provided between the mobile component and the fixed component serves as a passage that allows gas to flow into or out of the damping space when the damping space changes in volume. A size of the gap is set such that a pressure is generated in the damping space to cause a damping force acting on the mobile component when the damping space changes in volume.

An electromagnetic relay includes a casing having a housing space open to an external to the casing through an opening. A base is joined to the casing to close the opening. A coil, a pair of fixed contact elements and a pair of movable contact elements are housed in the housing space. A vent hole set to a dimension making it possible to extinguish flame passing therethrough is formed in a portion where the casing and the base are joined together.

An electromagnetic relay according to the present disclosure includes an excitation coil generating a magnetic field during energization, a movable core driven by the magnetic field generated by the excitation coil, a movable element including a movable contact and moving to follow the driven movable core, a plurality of stationary terminals each including a stationary contact that contacts the movable contact during the energization of the excitation coil, a stationary yoke formed of a magnetic material and supported by at least one of the plurality of stationary terminals, and a movable yoke formed of a magnetic material and arranged to face the stationary yoke, the movable yoke being in contact with the movable element and moving together with the movable element. Since the stationary yoke is supported by the stationary terminal, increase in temperature of the stationary terminal can be limited.

A fixed core includes: a fixed core tapered portion having a diameter increased in an attraction direction; and a fixed core circular portion having a fixed outer diameter and extending in the attraction direction from an end of the fixed core tapered portion. A movable core includes a movable core tubular portion in which a movable core hole is defined. The movable core hole is a space into which the fixed core tapered portion and the fixed core circular portion can enter. The movable core tubular portion includes: a movable core cylindrical portion having a constant inner diameter; and a movable core tapered tubular portion having an inner diameter decreased from an end of the movable core cylindrical portion in a non-attraction direction.

Electromagnetic relay having a tapered and circular movable core portion

An electromagnetic relay switches to conduct and interrupt currents having different magnitudes and flowing though mutually opposite paths via the electromagnetic relay. The relay includes a coil generating a magnetic force and a pair of contact sections opened and closed selectively by the magnetic force. The contact sections comprise a pair of fixed contacts and a pair of movable contacts. Each fixed contacts is held by a pair of conductive fixed holders and is near a tip section of each fixed holder. The movable contacts are fixed to a conductive movable holder and moves toward and away from the fixed holders selectively in response to the magnetic force. The relay further includes two arc-extinguishing magnet members adjacent to the contact sections such that, the arc generated by interrupting one current having a magnitude larger than the other current is extended toward the tip section at each contact section.

An electromagnetic relay includes a resin case, a coil, a movable contact; a fixed contact, a flat recess, a ventilation hole, a cooling member and a flat passage. The resin case has a housing space therein. The movable contact is within the housing space and is actuated by the coil. The fixed contact is within the housing space. The flat recess is formed at the case to communicate with the housing space. The ventilation hole is formed at the case to provide communication between the recess and an exterior of the case. The cooling member is within the recess to cool flame that passes through the recess. The flat passage is formed between the cooling member and an internal wall surface of the recess and has a clearance dimension such that flame is extinguished.
