A relay includes a movable block, a base substrate, and a coil block. The movable block is provided rotatably around a rotational axis of the movable block. The movable block includes a plurality of sliders. The base substrate is disposed opposite the movable block in the rotational axis direction of the movable block, and contacts the sliders. The base substrate includes a plurality of contactors that come into contact with the sliders. The coil block includes a coil that generates electromagnetic force by electric conduction to rotate the movable block with respect to the base substrate. As the movable block rotates, continuity is switched between the sliders and the contactors.

An electromagnetic relay includes a casing, a coil set, a rotating bridge, first and second extension arm, first and second switch conductive plate assemblies, and first and second gripper modules. The novel design of the rotating bridge allows the first and second switch conductive plate assemblies to have synchronous contact or disconnection and provide sufficient and appropriate force to a first movable contact and a first fixed contact of the first switch conductive plate assembly and a second movable contact and a second fixed contact of the second switch conductive plate assembly to achieve a stable conduction and ensure a reliable separation for a disconnection, so as to achieve the effects of reducing the excessive change of resistance during operation, preventing high temperature caused by incomplete contacts, and improve application performance.

An electromagnetic relay includes a contactor including a fixed contact and a movable contact, and an electromagnet device for moving the movable contact. The electromagnet device includes a coil generating a first magnetic flux by energization, a tubular body including a permanent magnet generating a second magnetic flux in a direction identical to a direction of the first magnetic flux and having a hollow extending in a center axis direction, a movable element disposed in the hollow of the tubular body and reciprocating in the center axis direction, and a yoke forming a magnetic circuit passing together with the movable element and the tubular body. The magnetic circuit allows at least one of the first and second magnetic fluxes to pass through the magnetic circuit. The electromagnet device is configured to, when the coil is energized, move the movable contact to a first position by attracting the movable element with the first magnetic flux and the second magnetic flux. The electromagnet device is configured to, when energization of the coil is suspended, move the movable contact to a second position different from the first position. This electromagnetic relay is easily designed and reduces power consumption at a low cost.

An overload relay is disclosed in which a single operator coil is controlled for both tripping and resetting. A permanent magnet and a spring make the device bi-stable, so the coil may be unpowered when in the trip and reset states. Energization of the coil overcomes the magnet to allow tripping, while energization in an opposite direction adds to the magnet force to reset the device. An electromagnetic activation path overrides a mechanical activation path for electromagnetic tripping despite attempted manual resetting. The device may be pulse width modulated to reduce power consumption.

An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed contact; a movable contact movable between a first position at which the movable contact contacts the fixed contact to form a closed state, and a second position at which the movable contact does not contact the fixed contact to form a opened state; an electromagnet that includes a coil, a magnetic core, and a yoke coupled to the magnetic core, and generates magnetic field; and an actuator that includes a pair of armatures, and a permanent magnet sandwiched by the pair of armatures, and moves the movable contact by the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet, wherein a magnetic circuit formed by the magnetic core, the yoke and the pair of armatures is closed at the opened state, and is opened at the closed state.

An electromagnetic relay capable of externally and manually controlling, turning on, and shutting off electric power includes casing, push-pull rod and relay module. The casing has top cover, where slideway is formed, and an end of the slideway has bump. The push-pull rod is installed to the slideway and has an end formed into hook portion and passed into the casing. An open slot, which has fitting hole and sliding hole, is formed on the push-pull rod. The relay module is installed at the chassis and has elastic contact plate assembly and lever, and an end of the lever is engaged with the hook portion. After the fitting hole is sheathed on the bump, the sliding hole is moved relative to the bump, so that the hook portion drives the lever to push the elastic contact plate assembly to define electrical connection or disconnection state according to different requirements.

A method is for controlling an electromagnetic relay comprising a fixed contact, a movable contact that comes in contact with and separated from the fixed contact, an electromagnet that includes a coil for generating magnetic field, and an actuator that moves the movable contact. The method includes: when separating the movable contact that is in contact with the fixed contact, supplying a first current to the coil to generate a first magnetomotive force that drives the actuator in a direction to move the movable contact toward the fixed contact, supplying a second current to the coil, while the first current is supplied to the coil, to generate a second magnetomotive force that drives the actuator in a direction to move the movable contact away from the fixed contact, and stop supplying the first current while the second current is supplied to the coil.

The link member is capable of pressing the contact piece. The link member includes a first pressing portion and a second pressing portion. The first pressing portion is configured to press the first divided piece, and extends in a widthwise direction of the contact piece. The second pressing portion is configured to press the second divided piece, and extends in a lengthwise direction.
