Application of relays in smart home and smart sockets
With the changes of the times and the development of society, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the quality of life, so smart homes have emerged and improved people's quality of life to a great extent. As one of the emerging smart homes, smart sockets have attracted more and more attention.
The basic functions of smart sockets include the following:
1) Timing power on and off can save us unnecessary trouble and avoid forgetting to turn off electrical appliances.
2) The power is turned on and off at fixed intervals, which can be used in some situations that need to be turned on or off regularly.
3) Delayed power outage allows us to control our electricity consumption more intelligently.
The reason why smart sockets can achieve these basic functions is that they integrate automatic control, safety and energy-saving converters and intelligent standby power-saving functions of electrical appliances. By embedding smart IC chips into sockets, the sockets can automatically detect current changes and automatically cut off power to reduce energy consumption.
In smart sockets, the switching of the control circuit is completed by relays. Due to the small size of the socket, there are strict restrictions on the size of the relay. For example, the YT series of small power relay models that have been used in smart sockets are currently on the market.
Compared with traditional square relays, the installation area is reduced by 40%. The miniaturized installation area helps designers reduce the overall size of the circuit board. It has high switching performance and can withstand 8000V pulse voltage. It is suitable for various loads between the coil and the wiring point, which is much higher than that of traditional square relays. It provides good protection when suffering from accumulated or other instantaneous current surges.
Yongneng is a leading relay manufacturer in the world, our relay products are widely used in smart home and smart socket.
