Definitions

  • the invention relates to a relay, in particular for a starting device of an internal combustion engine, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
  • the known relay comprises a relay coil with a magnet armature, which is movable by energizing the relay coil.
  • a tappet fastened to the magnet armature is pressed onto a switching rod after a dead path has been covered.
  • a contact element which is connected to the shift rod, moved straight until it stops against two mating contacts, thereby closing a switch of a circuit of a starter motor.
  • This known relay has, inter alia, the disadvantage that the armature is losable, whereby the handling of the relay is difficult during assembly to the starting device.
  • Another disadvantage is that only a contact return spring releases the contact element of the mating contacts and this to open the circuit of the Starter motor in so-called contact welding under unsatisfactory conditions is insufficient.
  • the relay according to the invention with the features of the independent claim, it is possible on the one hand to design the relay so that the armature is captive and on the other hand, to use the momentum of the armature after switching off the relay coil to open the switch of the circuit of the starter motor.
  • a coupling element is provided which connects the shift rod and the magnet armature slidably limited.
  • a shift rod contact element By arranged on a shift rod contact element, it is possible that passes through the energization of the relay coil, the contact element in contact with mating contacts of the relay. As a result, for example, a closing of the starter motor circuit and by switching is possible.
  • the contact element opens the starter motor switch, the armature is acted upon by a restoring force acting counter to the switch-on of the relay.
  • the coupling element is arranged such that the armature is limited in the return direction relative to the shift rod displaced. This makes it possible that the armature via the coupling element takes the shift rod and thus opening the starter motor switch, especially under unfavorable circumstances, for example, when contact welding, allows.
  • the shift rod has a free end face, which serves as a stop for a plunger attached to the armature. It is thus possible that, during the switch-on process, the magnet armature presses over the plunger on the switching rod and thus presses the contact element against the mating contacts for closing the starter motor switch.
  • the coupling element partially surrounds the shift rod and the plunger. This is particularly advantageous if the coupling element is connected by means of a snap connection with the shift rod, since then the coupling element can be easily displaced on the shift rod.
  • a simple and inexpensive variant of a connection between the coupling element of the shift rod and the plunger is given by the fact that the coupling element surrounds the shift rod and the plunger sleeve-shaped.
  • a sleeve-shaped coupling element is particularly advantageous if the coupling element consists of a sleeve-shaped formed sheet metal. In addition, this facilitates a sliding over the shift rod or the plunger.
  • the coupling element engages with at least one projection either a corresponding counter-projection on the plunger or a corresponding counter-projection on the armature. If the magnet armature does not have a tappet, the only possibility is to mount a projection on the magnet armature itself. On the other hand, if the magnet armature has a tappet, it is advantageous to attach the projection to the tappet, as this does not make the coupling element too large.
  • the coupling element is configured in a further variant such that the switching rod is guided in a passage opening through the magnet armature. If the coupling element is partially formed such that it leads the shift rod in a passage opening through the armature, so you can use the resulting, or existing federal government to ensure that a spring element is attached supports and presses a contact element in a remote from the coupling element position.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a relay 10 according to the invention, in particular for a starting device of an internal combustion engine.
  • the relay 10 has a relay coil 13, on which a magnetic core 16 is arranged.
  • the relay coil 13 is inserted into a housing 19.
  • the relay coil 13 is associated with a movable armature 22, with which a plunger 25 is fixedly connected.
  • a shift rod 31 is axially guided by means of a sleeve-shaped member 34 made of insulating material, which also serves as a receptacle for a contact element 37. With the shift rod 31 and the contact element 37 in the through hole 28 is axially displaceable.
  • the contact element 37 If the contact element 37 reaches an end position, it comes into contact with it Mating contacts 40 of the relay. By the contact of the contact element 37 with the mating contacts 40, a circuit of a starter motor, not shown, is closed, so that the starter motor can be energized via the contact element 37 of a battery.
  • a coupling element 46 is provided, which connects the shift rod 31 and the armature 22 slidably limited.
  • the coupling element 46 is arranged such that the magnet armature 22 in a return direction, which is opposite to the turn-on, relative to the shift rod 31 is limitedly displaceable.
  • the coupling element 46 is not slidably connected to the shift rod 31 and on the other hand, the coupling element 46 has a projection 49 which engages behind a corresponding counter-projection 52 on the plunger 25.
  • the counter projection 52 is freely displaceable between the projection 49 and the free end face 43.
  • the shift rod 31 is connected to the coupling element 46 by means of a snap connection 55.
  • the coupling element 46 surrounds the shift rod 31 and the plunger 25th each partially and by the substantially cylindrical shape of the coupling element 46, the coupling element 46 surrounds the shift rod 31 and the plunger 25 sleeve-shaped.
  • a spring element 58 is provided, which is at one end portion 61 of the coupling element 46, which armature 22 is remote, and supports the contact element 37 in a position remote from the coupling element 46 position.
  • this remote position is determined by a fixedly connected to the shift rod 31 stop 64, see also FIG. 1 .
  • the shift rod 31 is in closed position, the remote from the coupling element 46 position is determined by the mating contacts 40.
  • the spring element 58 is supported on an inner side of the sleeve-shaped element 34 and on the other hand on an end face of the end section 61 of the coupling element 46.
  • the said spring element 58 is supported in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 on a collar 67 of the coupling element 46 from.
  • the coupling element 46 can guide the switching rod 31 in the passage opening 28 of the magnetic core 16
  • the end portion 61 of the coupling element 46 is enlarged in its outer diameter so that a suitable fit between the end portion 61 and passage opening 28 results.
  • the coupling element 46 is so expanded sleeve-shaped in the second embodiment, that on the one hand within a sleeve-shaped extension 70, the spring element 58 is added and on the other hand, the sleeve-shaped extension 70 has a suitable outer diameter, so that a suitable guidance of the coupling element 46 in the passage opening 28 results.
  • the armature 22 is retracted into the relay coil 13 and pushes with its plunger 25 on the shift rod 31.
  • the connected to the shift rod 31 coupling element 46 in turn pushes the spring member 58 and the sleeve-shaped member 34, the contact member 37 against the two mating contacts 40th In unfavorable switching states, welding between the contact element 37 and the mating contacts 40 may occur.
  • the coupling element 46 has a radially outwardly directed projection 49 which engages behind a counter projection 52 of the plunger 25 equivalent counter-projection 52 in a recess 79 of the armature 22.
  • the restoring force is generated, for example, by the fact that outside the magnet armature 22, a spring element generates this restoring force.
  • the coupling element 46 after FIG. 1 represents an injection molded part made of plastic.
  • the coupling element 46 according to FIG. 2 is a variant made of sheet metal, which is made by rolling a sheet metal strip.
