Electromagnetic relay
An electromagnetic relay is provided with an armature which is pulled by an electromagnet and a card which transmits operation of the armature to the moving electrode plate. The armature includes an engagement part which engages with the card. The card includes a pedestal part which extends from the card body, a deforming part which extends from the card body and can elastically deform, and a tab which sticks out toward the pedestal part. The deforming part has a first part which extends from the card body and a second part which extends bent from the first part. The engagement part is sandwiched between the pedestal part and the second part. The ends in the width direction of the surface which the tab contacts when the engagement part is pushed between the pedestal part and the tab are formed with inclined parts.
1. An electromagnetic relay comprising:
an electromagnet which includes a coil;
an armature which is pulled by said electromagnet;
a moving member which has a moving contact; and
a connecting member which engages with said armature and said moving member and transmits an operation of said armature to said moving member; wherein
said armature includes an armature body and an engagement part which engages with said connecting member,
said connecting member includes a connecting member body, a pedestal part which extends from said connecting member body, a deforming part which extends from said connecting member body and can elastically deform, and a tab which is formed at the end of said deforming part and sticks out toward said pedestal part,
said deforming part has a first part which extends from said connecting member body and a second part which extends bent from said first part and deforms when said engagement part is pushed between said pedestal part and said tab,
said engagement part is sandwiched between said pedestal part and said second part when said engagement part engages with said connecting member,
said engagement part has a surface facing in a width direction of said armature and a chamfered face along an edge of the surface, and
the chamfered face contacts said tab and is positioned between said pedestal part and said tab when said engagement part is pushed between said pedestal part and said tab.
2. The electromagnetic relay as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
said armature has cutaway parts which are formed at the ends at the both sides in the width direction, and
said engagement part is configured by a part which is sandwiched by said cutaway parts.
3. The electromagnetic relay as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
said armature includes a cutaway part which is formed at one end in the width direction and a recess part which is formed at the other end in the width direction, and
said engagement part is configured by a part which is sandwiched by said cutaway part and said recess part.
4. An electromagnetic relay comprising:
an electromagnet which includes a coil;
an armature which is pulled by said electromagnet;
a moving member which has a moving contact; and
a connecting member which engages with said armature and said moving member and transmits operation of said armature to said moving member; wherein
said armature includes an armature body and an engagement part which engages with said connecting member,
said connecting member includes a connecting member body, a pedestal part which extends from said connecting member body, a deforming part which extends from said connecting member body and can elastically deform, and a tab which is formed at the end of said deforming part and sticks out toward said pedestal part,
said deforming part has a first part which extends from said connecting member body and a second part which extends bent from said first part and deforms when said engagement part is pushed between said pedestal part and said tab, and
said engagement part is sandwiched between said pedestal part and said second part when said engagement part engages with said connecting member, and is configured by a part which is sandwiched between a cutaway part which is formed at one end of said armature in the width direction and a recess part which is formed at the other end in width direction.
