Abstract
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.
Claims23
A relay, comprising:
- a movable block provided rotatably around a rotational axis of the movable block, the movable block including a plurality of sliders protruding from a bottom surface of the movable block;
- a base substrate including a plurality of contactors configured to come into contact with the sliders, the base substrate disposed opposite the movable block in a rotational axis direction of the movable block, the base substrate being in contact with the sliders, the plurality of contactors on an upper surface of the base substrate, the plurality of sliders and the plurality of contactors facing each other;
- and
- a coil block including a coil configured to generate electromagnetic force by electric conduction to rotate the movable block with respect to the base substrate,
- wherein, as the movable block rotates, continuity is switched between the sliders and the contactors.
