Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid level detection technology, and in particular to a liquid level switch mounting structure, a liquid level switch, and electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid level switches are common components in household appliances. They are installed in the water storage compartment of the appliance to sense the water level in the storage compartment in real time and convert the water level into an electrical signal to feed back to the main control module. The main control module then controls the drain pump to start / stop and drain the water from the storage compartment.

[0003] During use, level switches need to be connected to a bracket on household appliances for support and fixation. Existing level switches, such as the one disclosed in patent CN102915873A, have a slot on the level switch, into which the bracket is inserted and then fixed with screws. This installation method requires additional screws and is inefficient.

[0004] In addition, the magnetic float on the level switch is located between the upper limit plate and the lower limit plate. The upper limit plate and the lower limit plate limit the range of the magnetic float's up and down movement. When the level switch is used, due to being immersed in water, there have been cases where the magnetic float has stuck to the upper limit plate or the lower limit plate, causing the level switch to malfunction.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] This invention provides a liquid level switch mounting structure, including a snap-fit ​​fixing structure and a connecting part disposed on the liquid level switch. The snap-fit ​​fixing structure includes a snap-fit ​​part and a mating part, one of which is disposed on the connecting part and the other on a bracket plate 1 of the electrical equipment. After the connecting part is vertically moved towards the bracket plate 1 and into position, the snap-fit ​​part engages with the mating part to snap the connecting part onto the bracket plate 1. This enables rapid installation of the liquid level switch onto the bracket plate 1. Optionally, one snap-fit ​​fixing structure can be used; alternatively, the connecting part can be connected to the bracket plate 1 via two or more snap-fit ​​fixing structures. That is, an appropriate number of snap-fit ​​fixing structures can be set according to the operating conditions of the liquid level switch.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This invention provides a liquid level switch mounting structure, including a connecting part and a snap-fit ​​fixing structure disposed on the liquid level switch. The snap-fit ​​fixing structure includes a snap-fit ​​part and a mating part, one of which is disposed on the connecting part and the other is disposed on the bracket plate 1 of the electrical equipment. After the connecting part is moved vertically towards the bracket plate 1 and into position, the snap-fit ​​part and the mating part cooperate to achieve the connection part snapping onto the bracket plate 1, thereby realizing the quick installation of the liquid level switch and the bracket plate 1.

[0037] The snap-fit ​​fixing structure is a flexible snap-fit ​​structure. The mating part of the snap-fit ​​fixing structure is the snap-fit ​​hole 2, and the snap-fit ​​part of the snap-fit ​​fixing structure is the flexible snap 3. See also Figure 3 The diagram illustrates that the bracket plate 1 has snap-fit ​​holes 2, see [reference]. Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the mating relationship between the snap-fit ​​hole 2 and the elastic snap-fit ​​3. The connecting part is positioned above the support plate 1, and then moved vertically downwards so that the elastic snap-fit ​​3 on the connecting part inserts into the snap-fit ​​hole 2, thus connecting the level switch to the support plate 1. Alternatively, the elastic snap-fit ​​3 can also be provided on the support plate 1, and the snap-fit ​​hole 2 can be provided on the mounting part.

[0038] For the specific structure of the elastic buckle 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The elastic buckle 3 includes a first elastic post 301 and a second elastic post 302. The first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 are arranged opposite each other and there is a gap between them. The connecting part includes a fixing plate 4. The fixing plate 4 is connected to the main rod 6 of the liquid level switch. One end of the first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 are both connected to the fixing plate 4 of the connecting part. Hooks 303 are provided on the first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302. The bracket plate 1 can be clamped between the hooks 303 and the fixing plate 4. A first elastic post 301 and a second elastic post 302 are provided on the lower surface of the fixing plate 4. When the elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 are inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 2 on the bracket plate 1, the first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 elastically deform towards each other, causing the first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 to insert into the snap-fit ​​hole 2. When the hook 303 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 2, the first elastic post 301 and the second elastic post 302 return to their original position, and finally the bracket plate 1 is clamped between the hook 303 and the fixing plate 4. See [reference needed] Figure 7 Also see Figure 1 Alternatively, the elastic buckle 3 can be set on the upper surface of the fixing plate 4. During installation, the fixing plate 4 is placed below the bracket plate 1, and the fixing plate 4 is moved vertically upward so that the elastic buckle 3 is inserted into the buckle hole 2.

[0039] The fixed plate 4 is provided with a left side plate 7 and a right side plate 8, which are located on both sides of the main rod 6. The inner side of the left side plate 7 and the inner side of the right side plate 8 respectively cooperate with the left side and right side of the support plate 1 to guide the fixed plate 4 to be pushed vertically towards the support plate 1. Both the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 serve as limiters, and preferably both the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 are perpendicular to the fixed plate 4.

[0040] As an optional implementation, a limiting protrusion 9 is provided on the inner surface of the left side plate 7 and / or the right side plate 8. The bracket plate 1 contacts the limiting protrusion 9 to restrict the fixed plate 4 from continuing to move vertically in the direction of the bracket plate 1. See also Figure 6 This illustrates the limiting protrusion 9, which limits the fixing plate 4 to continue moving vertically towards the support plate 1. Alternatively, it can be as follows: See Figure 7 The fixing plate 4 has an upwardly protruding part, and a snap-fit ​​cavity 5 is formed on the inner side of the protruding part. The elastic snap 3 is located in the snap-fit ​​cavity 5, and the bottom of the elastic snap 3 protrudes from the snap-fit ​​cavity 5. When the fixing plate 4 is snapped onto the support plate 1, the fixing plate 4 contacts the support plate 1, and the contact between the fixing plate 4 and the support plate 1 restricts the fixing plate 4 from continuing to move vertically in the direction of the support plate 1. Alternatively, see Figure 8 A limiting post 11 is provided on the lower surface of the fixing plate 4 or the upper surface of the support plate 1. The fixing plate 4 is restricted from moving vertically towards the support plate 1 by contacting the limiting post 11 with the support plate 1.

[0041] As an optional implementation, the fixing plate 4 is provided with a rear side plate 12, and the support plate 1 is provided with a main rod clearance notch 13. When the fixing plate 4 is above the support plate 4, the main rod 6 is inserted into the main rod clearance notch 13, and the rear side plate 12 cooperates with the corresponding side of the support plate 1. See Figure 3 The rear side plate 12 mates with the side of the support plate 1 where the main rod clearance notch 13 is provided. The rear side plate 12 can be a single continuous elongated plate, or there can be two or more rear side plates 12 arranged on the rear side of the main rod 3. See also Figure 2 This shows the two rear side panels 12.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] Unlike Example 1, see [link to Example 1] Figure 4 The connection structure is a snap-fit ​​fixing structure (i.e., the connecting part is connected to the support plate 1 through two snap-fit ​​fixing structures). The snap-fit ​​part of the snap-fit ​​fixing structure is an elastic snap hook 10, which is located at the two opposite ends of the support plate 1. The lower end surfaces of the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 are provided with elastic snap hooks 10, which are made of elastic material. See also Figure 6Move the fixing plate 4 above the support plate 1, and then move the fixing plate 4 vertically downward. During the movement of the fixing plate 4, the elastic hook 10 undergoes elastic deformation (at this time, the elastic buckle 3 will also be inserted into the snap hole 2). After the fixing plate 4 is moved into place, the left and right ends of the support plate 1 are supported on the elastic hook 10 respectively. At the same time, the support plate 1 is sandwiched between the hook 303 and the fixing plate 4.

[0044] In addition, when the elastic buckle 3 is set on the upper surface of the fixed plate 4, the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 need to protrude from the upper surface of the fixed plate 4, and the upper end surface of the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 is provided with elastic hooks 10, that is, the elastic hooks 10 are set above the fixed plate 4.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] This invention provides a liquid level switch mounting structure, including a connecting part and a snap-fit ​​fixing structure disposed on the liquid level switch. The snap-fit ​​fixing structure includes a snap-fit ​​part and a mating part, one of which is disposed on the connecting part and the other is disposed on the bracket plate 1 of the electrical equipment. After the connecting part is moved vertically towards the bracket plate 1 and into position, the snap-fit ​​part and the mating part cooperate to achieve the connection part snapping onto the bracket plate 1, thereby realizing the quick installation of the liquid level switch and the bracket plate 1.

[0047] The connecting part includes a fixing plate 4, which is connected to the main rod 6 of the liquid level switch. The fixing plate 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​or mating part of the snap-fit ​​fixing structure. The fixing plate 4 is provided with a left side plate 7 and a right side plate 8, which are located on both sides of the main rod 6. The inner side of the left side plate 7 and the inner side of the right side plate 8 respectively mate with the left side and right side of the bracket plate 1.

[0048] The fastening structure is a snap-fit ​​structure (the connecting part is connected to the support plate 1 through a snap-fit ​​structure). The snap-fit ​​part of the snap-fit ​​structure is an elastic snap hook 10, which is located at both opposite ends of the support plate 1. The lower end surfaces of the left side plate 7 and the right side plate 8 are provided with elastic snap hooks 10, which are made of elastic material. See also Figure 6 Move the fixing plate 4 above the support plate 1, and then move the fixing plate 4 vertically downward. During the movement of the fixing plate 4, the elastic hook 10 undergoes elastic deformation (at this time, the elastic buckle 3 will also be inserted into the snap hole 2). After the fixing plate 4 is moved into place, the left and right ends of the support plate 1 are supported on the elastic hook 10 respectively, and the support plate 1 is limited between the elastic hook 10 and the fixing plate 4.

[0049] Preferably, a positioning post 18 is provided on the fixing plate 4, and a positioning hole is provided on the bracket plate 1, into which the positioning post 18 is inserted. See also Figure 8The diagram illustrates the insertion of the positioning pin 18 into the positioning hole on the bracket plate 1. This positioning hole can be a snap-fit ​​hole 2. When the bracket plate 1 is positioned between the elastic hook 10 and the fixing plate 4, the positioning pin 18 engages with the positioning hole to restrict the horizontal movement of the connecting part.

[0050] Example 4:

[0051] A level switch is fixed to a bracket plate 1 of an electrical device using a level switch mounting structure as described in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3. The level switch has a connecting portion for the level switch mounting structure. (See also...) Figure 1 This illustrates a level switch with a connecting part, where the snap-fit ​​or mating part of the snap-fit ​​fixing structure is located on the connecting part.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the level switch includes a magnetic float 14, an upper limit plate 15, and a lower limit plate 16, with the upper limit plate 15 and lower limit plate 16 respectively positioned above and below the magnetic float 14. A protruding structure 17 is provided on the side of the upper limit plate 15 facing the magnetic float 14 to reduce the contact area between the magnetic float 14 and the upper limit plate 15, and / or a protruding structure 17 is provided on the side of the lower limit plate 16 facing the magnetic float 14 to reduce the contact area between the magnetic float 14 and the lower limit plate 16. During use, due to immersion in water, the magnetic float has sometimes adhered to the upper or lower limit plate, causing the level switch to malfunction. To minimize the adhesion of the magnetic float to the upper limit plate 15, a protruding structure 17 is provided on the side of the upper limit plate 15 facing the magnetic float 14, changing the surface contact between the upper limit plate 15 and the magnetic float 14 to a point contact, thus reducing the contact area between them. Similarly, to minimize the adhesion of the magnetic float to the lower limit plate 16, a protruding structure 17 is provided on the side of the lower limit plate 16 facing the magnetic float 14, changing the surface contact between the lower limit plate 16 and the magnetic float 14 to a point contact, thus reducing the contact area between them. The specific shape of the protruding structure 17 is not limited. Typically, the lower limit plate 16 is detachably connected to the main rod 6, allowing the installation / removal of the magnetic float 14 after removing the lower limit plate 16; the upper limit plate 15 can be integrally formed with the main rod 6.

[0053] Example 5:

[0054] An electrical device includes the liquid level switch mounting structure described in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3. The liquid level switch mounting structure includes a connecting portion and a snap-fit ​​fixing structure disposed on the liquid level switch. The snap-fit ​​fixing structure includes a snap-fit ​​portion and a mating portion, one of which is disposed on the connecting portion and the other on a bracket plate 1 of the electrical device. After the connecting portion is vertically moved towards the bracket plate 1 and into position, the snap-fit ​​portion engages with the mating portion to snap onto the bracket plate 1, enabling rapid installation of the liquid level switch and the bracket plate.
