Abstract
Various high voltage systems may benefit from a suitable relay system. For example, a relay box may be provided with a shock and vibration resistant arrangement including a sealed coil box within the sealed relay box. For example, an apparatus can include a coil box containing coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets, wherein the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets can be configured to actuate an armature assembly external to the coil box. The apparatus can also include outside pole pieces configured to move a relay armature of the armature assembly responsive to energizing of the coils. Moving the relay armature can include overcoming a latching of at least one of the permanent magnets.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a coil box containing coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets, wherein the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets are configured to actuate an armature assembly external to the coil box, and the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets are completely contained within the coil box;
- outside pole pieces disposed externally to the coil box and separate from the internal pole pieces configured to move a relay armature of the armature assembly responsive to energizing of the coils, wherein moving the relay armature comprises overcoming a latching of at least one of the permanent magnets;
- and
- a relay box, wherein the coil box, the armature assembly, and a switch cavity are contained in the relay box.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a coil box containing coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets, wherein the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets are configured to actuate an armature assembly external to the coil box, and the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets are completely contained within the coil box;
- outside pole pieces disposed externally to the coil box and separate from the internal pole pieces configured to move a relay armature of the armature assembly responsive to energizing of the coils, wherein moving the relay armature comprises overcoming a latching of at least one of the permanent magnets, wherein the inside pole pieces are each attached to at least one magnetic core of at least one of the coils inside the coil box;
- and
- a spring, wherein the spring is provided between the coil box and a relay box and configured to protect the coil box during shock and vibration.
