As people's demand for the quality of life hygiene increases, disinfection and sterilization products are becoming more and more popular among consumers. As one of the many disinfection household appliances, the disinfectant making machine usually has two modules: an electrolysis module and a spray module. The electrolysis module is used to electrolyze salt water to prepare sodium hypochlorite solution, and the spray module is used to spray the disinfectant to the place where it is to be used. This is also the main working form of the disinfectant making machine on the market. For the disinfectant making machine with electric spray function, it is necessary to set a micro switch and a button at the handle position to switch the spray to realize electric spraying. However, the size of the handle usually conforms to the size of the human palm, which limits the size of the handle, thereby affecting the spatial arrangement of the micro switch and the button, resulting in insufficient space for arranging the button, reset torsion spring and micro switch inside the handle when held in one hand, and even affecting the effect of closing and opening the micro switch. Summary of the invention

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect in the prior art that buttons, reset torsion springs and micro switches are difficult to place due to the limited internal space of the grip handle, thereby providing a disinfectant manufacturing machine with a compact internal structure and a reasonable layout of the grip handle.

[0012] Optionally, also include:

[0013] A torsion spring, wherein a first end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the mounting housing, and a second end of the torsion spring is abuttedly connected to an end of the button away from the button rotation axis.

[0014] Optionally, the torsion spring is at least partially disposed inside the cavity.

[0015] Optionally, the torsion spring is wound around the button rotation axis.

[0016] Optionally, the button is at least partially disposed inside the mounting shell, and is at least partially exposed outside the mounting shell in a pop-up state.

[0021] 2. In the disinfectant manufacturing machine provided by the present invention, the provision of the torsion spring can extend the life of the micro switch, and avoid the micro switch's spring sheet's own elastic force resetting over a long period of time, thereby accelerating failure or generating a vacant position.

[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] Combination Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the disinfectant manufacturing machine provided in this embodiment belongs to a sodium hypochlorite generator, and includes:

[0036] Install the housing 1;

[0037] A micro switch 4 is fixed inside the mounting housing 1, and the micro switch 4 is connected to a spring 4 on one side; and

[0038] A button 5, movably connected to the mounting housing 1, and adapted to trigger the micro switch 4 by pressing the spring 41;

[0039] A cavity is formed on one side of the button 5 close to the micro switch 4 , and in the pop-up state, the spring 41 is at least partially located inside the cavity.

[0040] Preferably, the installation shell 1 serves as the outer shell of the disinfectant manufacturing machine, which is formed by splicing at least two parts, so that other structural components can be easily installed inside it.

[0041] The micro switch 4 is provided with a trigger key, and is triggered specifically by pressing the trigger key with the spring 4. The micro switch 4 is connected to the spring 4 on one side, and the trigger key is arranged close to the side where the spring 4 is connected to the micro switch 4, so as to trigger the trigger key when the spring 4 is pressed; the spring 4 extends to the inside of the cavity from the side away from the micro switch 4.

[0042] Preferably, the micro switch 4 is assembled by two mounting posts on the mounting housing 1, and a mounting hole is provided on the corresponding micro switch 4. The micro switch 4 is fixed by clamping the mounting housing 1, avoiding the use of screws for fastening the installation.

[0043] The button 5 is movably connected to the mounting shell 1, with one side thereof exposed from the mounting shell 1 and the other side thereof hidden in the mounting shell 1; the side exposed from the mounting shell 1 is convenient for the user to press with his / her fingers, and the side hidden from the mounting shell 1 forms a cavity; the button 5 is hidden in one side of the mounting shell 1 and arranged toward the micro switch 4, and preferably, the spring of the micro switch 4 is arranged toward the cavity of the button 5, so that the spring 41 is at least partially located inside the cavity in the pop-up state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the spring, shortening the distance between the button 5 and the micro switch 4, and thus compressing the overall width.

[0044] Preferably, the micro switch 4 and / or the button 5 are arranged at the position of the handle portion 12 of the mounting housing 1. The size of the handle portion 12 is convenient for the user to hold in a more comfortable state, so the size of the handle portion 12 is limited, thereby affecting the spatial arrangement of the micro switch 4 and the button 5. In addition, since the trigger key on the micro switch 4 is triggered by the spring 4, when there is insufficient space for arranging the button and the micro switch inside the handle portion 12 held by one hand, if it is not reasonably arranged, the travel of the spring 4 will be limited, causing the spring 4 to be in virtual contact with the trigger key at all times, or the travel distance of the button 5 is too short, resulting in insufficient pressing distance for the spring 4, so that the spring 4 has insufficient effect on the trigger key, resulting in poor closing effect and other problems.

[0045] The disinfectant manufacturing machine provided in the present embodiment forms a cavity on the side of the button 5 close to the micro switch 4, so that the spring 41 can be easily accommodated in the cavity, reducing space occupancy, making the structure more compact and making more reasonable use of space; and after the spring 41 is accommodated in the cavity, the action stroke of the spring 41 is extended, ensuring the reliability of the closing and opening effect of the micro switch, and ensuring that the switch is triggered sensitively and effectively; at the same time, by fixing the micro switch 4 in the mounting shell 1, the structural strength is guaranteed, and the assembly is simple and reliable.

[0046] Specifically, a spring-flake triggering rib 53 is disposed in the cavity. The spring-flake triggering rib 53 is directly or indirectly abutted and connected with the spring 41 and drives the spring 41 to move in a pressed state.

[0047] Preferably, the spring piece 41 of the micro switch 4 is arranged toward the cavity of the button 5, and the button 5 is directly or indirectly abutted against the spring piece 41, and is suitable for driving the spring piece 41 to move when the button 5 is moved. Specifically, a spring piece trigger rib 53 is arranged in the cavity of the button 5, and the spring piece trigger rib 53 is arranged at an angle to the pressing surface of the button 5. Preferably, the spring piece trigger rib 53 is arranged perpendicular to the pressing surface of the button 5, so that the spring piece trigger rib 53 is arranged roughly parallel to the pressing direction, which is convenient for pressing the spring piece 41. The spring piece trigger rib 53 is directly or indirectly abutted against and connected with the spring piece 41, and drives the spring piece 41 to move in the pressed state.

[0048] Preferably, the spring-flake triggering rib 53 in this embodiment is a sheet-like rib structure. As a variation, the spring-flake triggering rib 53 may also be a columnar structure or a block structure.

[0049] Preferably, a limiting protrusion is further provided on the side of the spring piece 4 away from the micro switch 4, so that when the spring piece triggering rib 53 drives the spring piece 41 to move, the limiting protrusion can play a limiting role and prevent the spring piece triggering rib 53 from detaching from the spring piece 41.

[0050] Specifically, a button rotation axis 3 or a rotation axis hole 52 is provided on the mounting housing 1 , and a rotation axis hole 52 or a button rotation axis 3 is correspondingly provided on the first end of the button 5 , and the button 5 rotates around the button rotation axis 3 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the button rotation axis 3 is preferably arranged on the mounting housing 1, and the rotation axis hole 52 is correspondingly arranged on the button 5. The mounting housing 1 is connected to the lower handle portion 12 as a whole, and the button 5 and the micro switch 4 are installed in the space above the handle; preferably, the button rotation axis 3 is arranged at the corner where the handle portion 12 of the mounting housing 1 is connected to the upper housing, so that after the button 5 is installed on the mounting housing 1, it is convenient for the user to press the button 5 with the index finger, so that the button 5 can rotate around the mounting housing 1 and shrink toward the direction of the handle portion 12, which conforms to the movement characteristics of the human hand and improves the user experience.

[0052] Specifically, a button travel limit column 6 or a travel limit hole 51 is also provided on the mounting shell 1, and a travel limit hole 51 or a button travel limit column 6 is correspondingly provided at the second end of the button 5, and the pressing travel of the button 5 is limited by the cooperation between the button travel limit column 6 and the travel limit hole 51.

[0053] In this embodiment, the button travel limit column 6 is preferably arranged on the mounting housing 1, and the travel limit hole 51 is correspondingly arranged on the button 5. Preferably, the travel limit hole 51 is constructed in the form of a waist-shaped hole with a certain curvature, so that when the button 5 rotates around the button rotation axis 3, the button travel limit column 6 can smoothly move relatively according to the curvature of the travel limit hole 51 without getting stuck, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the button 5.

[0054] Preferably, the moving distance of the button travel limit column 6 and the travel limit hole 51 in the matched state corresponds to the action stroke of the spring sheet 4, so that when the button 5 is in the pop-up state, the first end of the travel limit hole 51 abuts against the button travel limit column 6, ensuring that the spring sheet 4 does not trigger the trigger key and there is no virtual connection; and when the button 5 is in the pressed state, the second end of the travel limit hole 51 abuts against the button travel limit column 6, ensuring that the spring sheet 4 can completely trigger the trigger key and there is no insufficient triggering effect; it is convenient to control the action stroke of the spring sheet 4 to ensure that the micro switch 4 switches smoothly between the on and off states.

[0055] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, when the button 5 is in the pop-up state, the line connecting the button rotation axis 3 and the second end of the travel limit hole 51 forms a button pop-up state angle line S1; and when the button 5 is in the pressed state, the line connecting the button rotation axis 3 and the second end of the travel limit hole 51 forms a button pressed state angle line S2.

[0056] The angle formed between the button pressed state angle line S2 and the button popped state angle line S1 is determined by the maximum release stroke position and the minimum trigger stroke position of the micro switch, ensuring effective triggering and disconnection under the extreme size tolerance of the micro switch.

[0057] Preferably, the contact portion between the spring trigger rib 53 and the spring 41 is on the connecting line between the button rotating shaft 3 and the second end of the travel limit hole 51, and preferably, when the button 5 is in a pressed state, the spring trigger rib 53 drives the spring 41 to abut against the micro switch 4, thereby ensuring that the spring 41 is pressed into place.

[0058] Specifically, the disinfectant manufacturing machine also includes:

[0059] The torsion spring 2 has a first end fixedly connected to the mounting housing 1 , and a second end abuttingly connected to an end of the button 5 away from the button rotating shaft 3 .

[0060] The torsion spring 2 is suitable for applying a reverse force to the button 5, so as to ensure that the button 5 automatically rebounds after being pressed. The first end of the torsion spring 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 1, and is specifically clamped by a torsion spring fixing portion 11 provided on the mounting housing 1, and the torsion spring fixing portion 11 can be formed in the form of a fixing hole; the second end of the torsion spring 2 is abutted against the end of the button 5 away from the button rotation axis 3, so as to ensure that when the torsion spring 2 applies a force to the button 5, the button 5 can be rotated around the button rotation axis 3.

[0061] In the disinfectant making machine provided in this embodiment, the provision of the torsion spring 2 can extend the life of the micro switch 4, and avoid the micro switch 4 from failing due to long-term self-elasticity of the spring 41 and causing a vacant position.

[0062] Specifically, the torsion spring 2 is at least partially disposed inside the cavity.

[0063] Preferably, the second end of the torsion spring 2 abuts against one of the side walls in the cavity; and is close to the spring trigger rib 53 along the length direction; and preferably, at least one rib protrusion is provided on the side wall where the torsion spring 2 abuts against the cavity, so as to facilitate supporting the second end of the torsion spring 2, avoid the second end of the torsion spring 2 contacting with the spring trigger rib 53 and causing jamming, thereby improving the smoothness of pressing the button 5 and ensuring the effectiveness of the pop-up function.

[0064] Specifically, the torsion spring 2 is wound on the button rotation shaft 3. By winding the torsion spring 2 on the button rotation shaft 3, it is ensured that the rotation axis of the torsion spring 2 is the same as the rotation axis of the button 5, and at least a portion of the torsion spring 2 is located inside the cavity, so that the second end of the torsion spring 2 is conveniently abutted against the side wall of the button 5, thereby ensuring the smooth rebound of the button 5.

[0065] Specifically, the button 5 is at least partially disposed inside the mounting housing 1 , and is at least partially exposed outside the mounting housing 1 in a pop-up state.

[0066] The mounting shell 1 is provided with a through hole to facilitate the placement of the button 5, so that the button 5 is at least partially arranged inside the mounting shell 1, which can ensure that the button 5 can be pressed smoothly and avoid interference from the mounting shell 1; the button 5 is at least partially exposed outside the mounting shell 1 in the pop-up state, thereby facilitating the user's hand to contact the button 5 and press the button 5.

[0067] Specifically, the micro switch 4 is provided with an outlet terminal, and an outlet distance is left between the outlet terminal and the mounting housing 1. This ensures that the outlet terminal of the micro switch 4 is smoothly connected to the external wire, avoids damage caused by extrusion, and improves the service life of the micro switch 4.

[0068] Specifically, the micro switch 4 is at least partially disposed in the cavity.

[0069] The disinfectant manufacturing machine provided in this embodiment, the micro switch 4 is at least partially arranged in the cavity, that is, the micro switch 4 and the button 5 are installed in a nested manner in space, and the micro switch 4 is nested inside the cavity of the button 5, which can save plane space. At the same time, the output terminal of the micro switch 4 can maintain a certain output distance from the installation shell 1, so that the micro switch 4 can be installed in a small space, and at the same time, the safe output distance of the terminal of the micro switch can be guaranteed.

[0070] As a variation, the micro switch 4 can be directly installed inside the cavity of the button 5, so that the micro switch 4 and the button 5 perform follow-up actions, and the spring 41 of the micro switch 4 is triggered by the trigger structure on the mounting shell 1, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the micro switch 4 and the button 5.

[0071] As a variation, the button 5 is provided with travel limit holes 51 or slideways on opposite sides, and the corresponding mounting shell 1 is provided with button travel limit columns 6 or slide grooves on opposite sides, so that when the button 5 is pressed, the upper and lower sides of the button 5 are retracted at the same time instead of retracting on one side.

[0072] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
