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 allows or blocks energization by the movement of the movable contact portion in contact with or spaced apart from fixed contact points.
- The relay device includes a fixed terminal with fixed contact points.
- A movable contact portion is positioned adjacent to the fixed terminal and can allow or block 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:
- Electrical circuits and systems requiring relay devices for switching or controlling power flow.
- Industrial automation and control systems.
- Automotive applications, such as in vehicle electrical systems.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a reliable and efficient means of controlling power flow in electrical circuits.
- Ensures proper contact and separation of the movable contact portion with the fixed contact points.
- Enables precise movement and alignment of the movable core and contact portion.
Benefits:
- Improved reliability and durability of relay devices.
- Enhanced control and efficiency in power flow management.
- Simplified design and construction of relay devices.
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs.
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.
