Abstract

An electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic block formed by winding a coil around an iron core and a frame shaped card. One end portion of the frame-shaped card is engaged with a movable iron piece that is rotated by being attracted to and separated from a magnetic pole portion of the iron core based on excitation and non-excitation of the electromagnetic block. The electromagnetic relay also includes a contact mechanism portion configured to be driven by the other end portion of the frame-shaped card that makes a reciprocating movement so as to open/close contacts and a pair of protrusions protrusively provided on the same shaft center inside of the one end portion of the frame-shaped card. Both side edge portions of the movable iron piece are held by the one end portion of the card and the protrusions. An adjustment opening is provided between the pair of protrusions.

Claims (18)

1. An electromagnetic relay comprising:

an electromagnetic block formed by winding a coil around an iron core;

a frame shaped card, wherein one end portion of the frame-shaped card is engaged with a movable iron piece that is rotated by being attracted to and separated from a magnetic pole portion of the iron core based on excitation and non-excitation of the electromagnetic block;

a contact mechanism portion configured to be disposed on the other end portion side that is on an opposite side of the magnetic pole portion of the iron core, and driven by the other end portion of the frame-shaped card that makes a reciprocating movement so as to open/close contacts and

a pair of protrusions are respectively protrusively provided on the same shaft center at opposite insides of the one end portion of the frame-shaped card,

wherein both side edge portions of the movable iron piece are held by the one end portion of the card and the protrusions, and

wherein an adjustment opening having a width dimension that allows a gauge portion of a thickness gauge to be inserted thereinto is provided between the pair of protrusions.

2. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 1 , further comprising an engagement pawl configured to engage with the one end portion of the frame-shaped card at an upper end edge portion of the movable iron piece.

3. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 2 , further comprising intermediate portions on both opposite sides of the frame-shaped card, wherein the intermediate portions are bridged over by a connection portion.

4. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 1 , further comprising intermediate portions on both opposite sides of the frame-shaped card, wherein the intermediate portions are bridged over by a connection portion.

5. An electromagnetic relay comprising:

an electromagnetic block formed by winding a coil around an iron core;

a frame shaped card, wherein one end portion of the frame-shaped card is engaged with a movable iron piece that is rotated by being attracted to and separated from a magnetic pole portion of the iron core based on excitation and non-excitation of the electromagnetic block; and

a contact mechanism portion configured to be disposed on the other end portion side that is on an opposite side of the magnetic pole portion of the iron core, and driven by the other end portion of the frame-shaped card that makes a reciprocating movement so as to open/close contacts, wherein

a pair of protrusions are respectively protrusively provided on the same shaft center at opposite insides of the one end portion of the frame-shaped card, and the center of the one end portion of the card is provided with a slit, whereby both side edge portions of the movable iron piece are held by the one end portion of the card and the protrusions, and

an adjustment opening having a width dimension that allows a gauge portion of a thickness gauge to be inserted thereinto is provided between the pair of protrusions.

6. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 5 , further comprising an engagement pawl configured to engage with the one end portion of the frame-shaped card at an upper end edge portion of the movable iron piece.

7. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 5 , further comprising intermediate portions on both opposite sides of the frame-shaped card, wherein the intermediate portions are bridged over by a connection portion.
