Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A latch relay includes a frame, a bobbin installed in the frame and having a coil wound therearound, first and second yokes provided as magnetic bodies, a rotary mover rotating in a clockwise direction or in a counterclockwise direction between head portions of the first and second yokes, first and second fixed contactors installed to be spaced apart from one another and parallel to each other within the frame, a movable contactor having one end connected to the second fixed contactor, a transmission lever having one end coupled to one side of the rotary mover to make a vertical movement, a support member fixedly installed on one side of the transmission lever, and an elastic member providing contact force such that the movable contactor is brought into contact with the first fixed contactor or separated from the first fixed contactor, while moving according to a movement of the transmission lever.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A latch relay comprising: a frame; a bobbin installed in the frame; a coil wound around the bobbin; first and second yokes provided as magnetic bodies each coupled to a side of the bobbin; a rotary mover formed of a magnetic body and rotating in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction between head portions of the first and second yokes; a first fixed contactor and a second fixed contactor installed within the frame, the first and second fixed contactors parallel to and spaced apart from one another; a movable contactor having one end connected to the second fixed contactor; a transmission lever having one end connected to one side of the rotary mover such that the transmission lever moves vertically; a support member parallel to the movable contactor and fixed to one side of the transmission lever; and an elastic member between the support member and the movable contactor and providing contact force such that the movable contactor moves according to movement of the transmission lever and either contacts the first fixed contactor or separates from the first fixed contactor. 2. The latch relay of claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is configured as a compressive coil spring. 3. The latch relay of claim 1 , wherein the support member is integrally formed with the transmission lever. 4. The latch relay of claim 1 , further comprising a movable contact provided in the movable contactor and a fixed contact provided in the fixed contactor such that centers of the movable contact and the fixed contact are aligned with the elastic member. 5. The latch relay of claim 1 , further comprising: a lower protrusion portion formed on an upper portion of the support member for fixing the elastic member; and an upper protrusion portion formed on a lower portion of the movable contactor for fixing the elastic member.
