The present invention discloses a moving iron core guide mechanism for an HVDC relay, comprising a pushrod, an upper section of the pushrod being located above a yoke plate and fixed with a moving contact assembly, a middle section and a lower section of the pushrod passing through the yoke plate downward, the middle section of the pushrod being fixed with a moving iron core; the moving iron core is located inside a magnetic conductive cylinder of a U-shaped yoke; a lower bushing is fixed inside the magnetic conductive cylinder, and the lower bushing is located below the moving iron core; a lower guide hole running from top to bottom is formed on the lower bushing; and the lower section of the pushrod is always fitted inside the lower guide hole of the lower bushing, and the pushrod is in smooth contact with an inner wall of the lower guide hole. In the present invention, the up-and-down motion of the moving iron core and the pushrod can become easier while the turns of the coil can be maintained; and the production cost can be reduced when the moving iron core and the pushrod are in normal use.
