ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18259592 titled 'ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY

The abstract describes an electromagnetic relay housed in a structure with internal spaces for various components to operate. The relay includes fixed and moving contacts, a coil, an iron core, a yoke, an armature, and a partition wall dividing the internal space.

  • The electromagnetic relay consists of a main fixed contact, a main moving contact, an auxiliary fixed contact, and an auxiliary moving contact.
  • A coil with an iron core and a yoke is used to create electromagnetic forces that control the movement of the armature.
  • The armature responds to the excitation or non-excitation of the coil, causing the movable part with the main moving contact to move accordingly.
  • The internal space of the housing is divided by a partition wall into two spaces, with different sets of contacts located in each space.

Potential Applications: - Industrial automation systems - Power distribution systems - Automotive electronics

Problems Solved: - Efficient switching of electrical circuits - Reliable operation in various applications - Precise control of electrical currents

Original Abstract Submitted

An electromagnetic relay includes: a housing including a base and a case that opens downward and is provided on the base, the housing having an internal space surrounded by the base and the case; a main fixed contact; a main moving contact that comes into contact with and separates from the main fixed contact; an auxiliary fixed contact; an auxiliary moving contact that comes into contact with and separates from the auxiliary fixed contact; a coil provided in the housing such that a central axis extends in a vertical direction; an iron core disposed so as to be surrounded by the coil; a yoke disposed around the coil; an armature that is disposed to face an upper end of the iron core and swings in response to excitation/non-excitation of the coil; a movable part provided with the main moving contact and configured to move in response to swinging of the armature; and a partition wall that divides the internal space of the housing into a first space and a second space. The main fixed contact and the main moving contact are disposed in the first space, and the auxiliary fixed contact and the auxiliary moving contact are disposed in the second space.
