  • Patent number: 10515774
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes: a first member integrally including a first horizontal portion to which an armature is fixed, a vertical portion to which a yoke is fixed, a hinge spring connected between the vertical portion and the first horizontal portion, a spring arm including a pair of movable contacts, and a pair of first terminals extended downward from the vertical portion; a second member integrally including a front plate portion extended in front of an electromagnet in a vertical direction, a second horizontal portion including a pair of fixed contacts opposed to the movable contacts, and a pair of second terminals extended downward from the front plate portion; a pair of permanent magnets that sandwich the movable contacts and the fixed contacts in a right-to-left direction and that is not opposed to the electromagnet; and a cover including accommodating portions accommodating the permanent magnets.

  • Patent number: 9653236
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay which is improved in arc blocking performance without being increased in size is desired. An electromagnetic relay according to the present invention is provided with a fixed contact, a moving contact which is movable respect to the fixed contact, a pair of magnets which is arranged at the side of the fixed contact and the moving contact so that pole faces with mutually reversed polarity are separated from and face each other and a pair of arc cooling plates which is arranged in a spaces between the magnets and which has first surfaces which face each other across a gap and second surfaces which face a pole face of either of the magnets, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9007156
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a first stationary contact; a second stationary contact that is aligned with the first stationary contact in a first direction; a first movable contact that is movable toward/away from the first stationary contact in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a second movable contact that is movable toward/away from the second stationary contact in the second direction; and a first permanent magnet and a second permanent magnet that face each other. A first contact part, formed by the first stationary contact and the first movable contact, and a second contract part, formed by the second stationary contact and the second movable contact, are interposed between the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet in the first direction. The first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet extend in a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
