Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact arrangement for a relay with a contact spring, the spring leg of which is attached at one end and is biased with its free end against a counter-contact element by at least one pretensioning bend extending transversely to its longitudinal direction, the free end in the closed state of contact with a contact piece rests on the mating contact element and is lifted from the mating contact element in the opened state of the contact by an actuating or supporting element, which acts on the contact spring in the region between the pretension bend and the free end of the contact spring by means of a contact edge running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the contact spring.
- the object of the invention is to develop a contact arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that the tendency to bounce, which is one of the causes of the welding, is reduced when the contacts are closed and that the opening of welded contacts is facilitated when opening.
- this object is achieved in that the bend line of the biasing bend of the contact spring runs at an acute angle with respect to the contact edge of the actuating or supporting member.
- the biasing bend running obliquely to the contact edge or the actuating edge ensures that the spring receives a torsional movement both when the contact is closed and when it is opened, as a result of which a lateral rolling off at the contact point is forced. As a result, the impact energy is partially converted into friction when closing, which leads to a reduction in the tendency to bounce. Due to the oblique preload buckle, the actuating member also asymmetrically engages the contact spring when the contact is opened, as a result of which an additional torsional force also acts on a welded contact point and facilitates tearing open.
- the contact spring is supported in an area between the oblique bias bend and the contact point on an edge of the armature.
- an inclined pretensioning kink also in another relay structure, the edge of an actuating or supporting member taking the place of the anchor edge.
- two or more can be provided instead of the one pre-tensioning buckle. These can then run parallel to one another or also at an angle to one another. Since there must be a moment for a torsion of the spring, it is possible in the case of springs with two pretensioning bends to provide one bend parallel to the support edge and a second bend obliquely to this; However, both kinks can also be attached in the same direction at an angle or in opposite directions at an angle.
- the angle between the pretension bend and the contact edge should be between 0 and 30 °. Good results have been obtained at an angle of the order of 5 °.
- the distance of the kink or kinks to the clamping point depends on the geometry of the spring and the desired angle of impact on the counter contact.
- the size of the wobble of the contact, which results from the deflection and the torsion of the spring, is also important. Therefore, a relatively large overstroke should be provided when closing the contacts.
- the biasing force with which the spring is biased against the actuator should be about 20 to 30% of the contact force. If it is a counter-contact spring biased against a support plate, this proportion will generally be higher.
- a contact spring 5 is connected to the armature and carries a contact piece 6 at its free end 5a and cooperates with a mating contact element 7 anchored in the coil former 1 or its contact piece 8.
- the contact spring 5 is biased in the area between its attachment point 9 on the armature 4 and the free end 5a towards the armature and thus towards the mating contact element 7.
- This pretension is generated by an obliquely running pretension kink 10, which generates a certain contact force F on the anchor edge 4a.
- the angle between the contact edge 4a and the pretension bend 10 can be between 0 and 30 °. It is preferably in the range from approximately 5 ° to 10 °.
- the preload bend 10 causes the contact piece 6 to roll on the contact piece 8 when the contact is closed and when it opens, which leads to a reduction in the bouncing and easier tearing of the contact with slight welding.
- FIG. 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of a contact arrangement designed according to the invention, the relay system no longer being shown.
- an armature 14 (which is only shown in part) is coupled to a movable contact spring 15, that is to say it is directly connected or is also actuated via an intermediate element, the contact piece 16 of which cooperates with a contact piece 18 of a mating contact spring 17.
- the moving contact spring 15 can be more or less rigidly connected to the armature, since it does not require high elasticity. Because in this case the counter contact spring is also 17th elastic, so it can absorb the overstroke of the armature when the contact closes.
- the counter-contact spring 17 is biased by a bias bias 20 against a support plate 19, wherein it rests on the edge 19a of this support plate in the idle state.
- the effect of the oblique preload bend is the same as in the example previously described. In this case, however, the preload is higher and almost the same as the contact force. Otherwise, all configuration options of the previous example also apply to the example according to FIGS. 3 and 4.
