Abstract

A polarized DC electromagnetic device and electromagnetic contactor using same to improve assembly efficiency without size increase of the electromagnetic device. The device includes a plunger inserted through a cylindrical portion of a spool around which an excitation coil is wound and having a first armature and a second armature attached to both ends, an outer yoke attracting the first armature and the second armature, an inner yoke disposed inside the outer yoke and attracting the second armature, and a permanent magnet disposed between the outer yoke and the inner yoke. The spool includes radially protruding flange portions respectively formed at both ends of the cylindrical portion, a coil terminal attachment portion formed in the flange portion on the first armature side, and a coil terminal attached to the coil terminal attachment portion.

Claims (17)

1. A polarized DC electromagnetic device comprising:

a spool around which an excitation coil is wound;

a plunger which is inserted through a cylindrical portion of the spool and in which a first armature and a second armature are individually attached to both ends protruding from the cylindrical portion;

an outer yoke which surrounds opposite side surfaces of the spool so as to attract the first armature and the second armature;

an inner yoke disposed inside the outer yoke so as to attract the second armature; and

a permanent magnet disposed between the outer yoke and the inner yoke, wherein the spool comprises radially protruding flange portions which are respectively formed at both ends of the cylindrical portion, a coil terminal attachment portion formed in the flange portion on the first armature side, and a coil terminal which is attached to the coil terminal attachment portion,

wherein the coil terminal attachment portion comprises a pair of support pieces radially protrusively formed from the flange portion with a space such that the outer yoke is inserted the space, and an electrically conductive coupling portion in which one end of the excitation coil is connected to one end attached to the pair of support pieces and which has, at the other end, elastic contact portions protruding from ends of the pair of support pieces.

2. A polarized DC electromagnetic device comprising:

a spool around which an excitation coil is wound;

a plunger which is inserted through a cylindrical portion of the spool and in which a first armature and a second armature are individually attached to both ends protruding from the cylindrical portion,

an outer yoke which surrounds opposite side surfaces of the spool so as to attract the first armature and the second armature;

an inner yoke disposed inside the outer yoke so as to attract the second armature; and

a permanent magnet disposed between the outer yoke and the inner yoke, wherein the spool comprises radially protruding flange portions which are respectively formed at both ends of the cylindrical portion, a coil terminal attachment portion formed in the flange portion on the first armature side, and a coil terminal which is attached to the coil terminal attachment portion,

wherein the coil terminal attachment portion comprises a pair of support pieces radially protrusively formed from the flange portion with a space such that the outer yoke is inserted the space, and an electrically conductive coupling portion in which one end of the excitation coil is connected to one end attached to the pair of support pieces and which has, at the other end, elastic contact portions protruding from ends of the pair of support pieces, and

wherein the coil terminal comprises a pair of fit portions into which the pair of support pieces of the coil terminal attachment portion are individually fitted, and coil terminal plates disposed to partly face bottom portions of the pair of fit portions so that the coil terminal plates contact the elastic contact portions.

3. An electromagnetic contactor using the polarized DC electromagnetic device according to claim 1 as an operating electromagnet which performs an opening-closing operation of a movable contact of a contact mechanism.

4. An electromagnetic contactor using the polarized DC electromagnetic device according to claim 2 as an operating electromagnet which performs an opening-closing operation of a movable contact of a contact mechanism.
