Optimization design method of contact bounce and breakaway initial velocity for aerospace electromagnetic relay

Aerospace electromagnetic relay is an electric component that has been widely used in aerospace industry.Contact bounce and contact breakaway for initial velocity are the key parameters that have strong influence on reliability and electric life of the relay.Generally,it is difficult to optimize these two parameters simultaneously.In this paper,according to kinetics theory and structural mechanics,a dynamic reaction calculation model of the relay that describes contact bounce and breakaway for initial velocity is proposed.Under the constraints of contact gap and contact force,the optimal combination of debugging parameters is obtained by the application of orthogonal design.It considers the reduction of contact bounce and the augmentation of breakaway for initial velocity as the optimization objectives,and takes the debugging parameters as the optimization variables.All these above ensure the increase of contact breakaway for initial velocity and the decrease of contact bounce simultaneously,and contact arc erosion is also reduced.

A robust solution for hesitate phenomenon in pick up process of aerospace electromagnetic relay

As for aerospace electromagnetic relay （AEMR） which is of small batches and having difficulty in automatic production, the uncertainty phenomenon is remarkable due to excessive manual work involved in the assembly and adjustment processes. This kind of uncertainty may increase the coil voltage difference （CVD） caused by hesitate phenomenon in the pick up process of AEMR. Taking a certain type of AEMR for example, the CVD problem in the actual producing process has been studied in this paper. The primary cause of this issue, two-steps of armature motion （namely hesitate phenomenon） in the pick up process, has been found by analyzing the matching characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical torques of AEMR. Through the optimization of the matching characteristics, the two-steps of armature motion problem is solved by robust design of the return reed which is a key part of AEMR. The validity of this research has been proved by the comparison of characteristics of AMER before and after the optimization.

A novel matrix topology-based analysis method of thermal circuits for reliability optimization of HSER

Hermetically Sealed Electromagnetic Relay(HSER), used in aviation and aerospace,demands high reliability due to its critical applications. Given its complex operating conditions, efficient thermal analysis is essential for optimizing reliability. The commonly used Finite Element Method(FEM) is often time-consuming and may not be efficient or adaptable for complex multi-dimensional system calculations and design processes. This paper introduces an analysis method for thermal networks based on matrix perspective technology, encompassing matrix transformation, backpropagation of the heat path model, temperature rise calculation, solution comparison, and product implementation. Using the similarity theory of heat circuits, a basic thermal unit is established. Based on the fundamental connection between key components, a thermal network for a typical HSER is designed. An experimental system is set up, and the thermal network model's accuracy is confirmed using test data. Employing the topology analysis method, the topology of the thermal network is analyzed under both coil-energized and de-energized states. Potential thermal paths are identified, leading to optimized solutions for the HSER. Utilizing these solutions, the thermal path matrix topology model is backpropagated to the thermal path for temperature rise calculations. When compared to prototype HSER test data, the efficiency and accuracy of this matrix topology-based analysis method are confirmed.

A multi-parameter model of heat treatment process for soft magnetic materials on performance of HSERs

Abstract:Material properties play an important role in the performance of electromagnetic mechanism. For an aeronautic Hermetically-Sealed Electromagnetic Relay(HSER), more than 50%parts are made of soft magnetic materials. Therefore, the performance of soft magnetic materials directly determines the static and dynamic characteristics of the HSER. Based on the theory of crystal recrystallization, this paper analyzes cold extrusion and heat treatment in the processing of soft magnetic materials, simulates the grain change process of an armature at different heat treatment temperatures, establishes a correlation model of temperature, grain size, and magnetic energy,and verifies results by scanning electron microscopy. Results of heat treatment temperatures from 800 ℃to 920 ℃are obtained and compared. A sample soft magnetic material after heat treatment at different temperatures has the largest difference in the initial magnetization range, up to 22%. In order to verify the fluctuation of the overall output characteristics of an HSER caused by the difference between soft magnetic materials, a static and dynamic analysis model of a typical HSER is established, and the accuracy of the model is verified by a set of actual test system. The difference of dynamic characteristics under different heat treatment temperatures is nearly 3%.
