RELAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17840954 titled 'RELAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a relay device that includes a fixed terminal, a movable contact portion, a fixed core, a movable core, and a shaft. The device is designed to allow or block energization by the movement of the movable contact portion.
- The relay device has a fixed terminal with fixed contact points.
- A movable contact portion is positioned below the fixed terminal and can be in contact with or spaced apart from the fixed contact points to control energization.
- A fixed core is located below the movable contact portion and can be magnetized when control power is applied.
- A movable core is positioned below the fixed core and moves towards it when control power is applied.
- A shaft passes through the fixed core and connects to the movable contact portion, moving together with the movable core.
- The shaft is supported by a step portion in the movable core, creating a stroke gap between the fixed core and the movable core.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electrical switches and relays in various industries such as automotive, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
- Control systems for appliances, machinery, and equipment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a reliable and efficient method for controlling energization in electrical systems.
- Ensures proper contact between the movable contact portion and the fixed contact points.
- Reduces the risk of electrical arcing and damage to the contacts.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and durability of electrical switches and relays.
- Enhanced control and efficiency in electrical systems.
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs due to longer lifespan of the relay device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A relay device includes a fixed terminal having a pair of fixed contact points, a movable contact portion positioned adjacent to a lower side of the fixed terminal and configured to allow or block energization by being in contact with or spaced apart from the pair of fixed contact points, a fixed core disposed at a predetermined interval below the movable contact portion and configured to be magnetized when control power is applied, a movable core positioned adjacent to a lower side of the fixed core and configured to move toward the fixed core when the control power is applied, and a shaft that passes through the fixed core to connect to the movable contact portion and is coupled to the movable core to move together with the movable core. The shaft is supported by a step portion formed in the movable core to form a stroke gap between the fixed core and the movable core.
