Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and in particular relates to a small impact-resistant two-stage push-stroke switch. Background Art

[0002] The travel switches used in aviation are usually composed of a pressing mechanism and a micro switch, and their structural principles are similar. After the travel switch button is actuated, the button indirectly presses the internal micro switch. This structure is prone to indirectly transfer the external impact energy to the micro switch through related mechanisms when the external triggering speed is high and the triggering force is large (i.e., the impact is large), thereby causing damage to the micro switch. Due to space volume limitations, the volume of the travel switch cannot be designed to be larger to increase the buffer mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a small-sized, impact-resistant two-stage push-stroke switch which can avoid the energy of high-speed impact being transmitted to the inside of the micro switch and cause no structural damage; and can absorb more impact energy.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention and the solution of its main technical problems are achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0005] The invention discloses a small impact-resistant two-stage push travel switch, which is characterized in that: a push rod is placed in the upper end of a housing, a spring B is placed outside the push rod, a spring A is placed outside the spring B and a bushing A is covered, a gasket B is inserted into the upper end of the push rod and riveted, the bushing A is movably connected to the push rod, a button is placed on the push rod, the bushing B is placed on the button, two gaskets B clamp the sealing ring A and fix it in the bushing B, and a cap is screwed into the housing, the upper and lower ends of the spring A respectively abut against the bushing A and the middle of the housing, and the upper and lower ends of the spring B respectively abut against the bushing A and The boss at the lower end of the push rod, the pressure plate is inserted into the hole set in the middle of the shell, the upper end of the pressure plate is inserted into the lower end of the push rod, the lower end of the pressure plate contacts the upper ends of rocking plates A and B, rocking plates A and B are respectively inserted into the middle of the torsion spring and connected with the pin B inserted into the base at both ends, one end of the two torsion springs respectively presses against the rocking plates A and B, and the other ends respectively press against the pin A inserted into the base, the lower ends of the rocking plates A and B respectively press against the spring sheets, the two spring sheets are respectively mounted on the micro switches, and the micro switches are fixed to the base by the pin C.

[0006] The button, bushing A, pressing plate and pressing rod can move up and down in the shell.

[0007] The two ends of the rocking plate A and the rocking plate B are respectively provided with arcs in positive and negative directions, and a round hole is provided in the middle. The lengths of the rocking plate A and the rocking plate B are different.

[0008] The lower end of the micro switch is connected to a wire, the wire passes through the base, and the base is fixed to the lower end of the shell.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious beneficial effects. It can be seen from the above technical scheme that: a push rod is placed in the upper end of the shell, a spring B is put on the outside of the push rod, a spring A is put on the outside of the spring B and a bushing A is covered, a gasket B is inserted into the upper end of the push rod and riveted, the bushing A is movably connected to the push rod, a button is covered on the push rod, and the bushing B is placed on the button, two washers B clamp the sealing ring A and fix it in the bushing B, and the cap is screwed into the shell, the upper and lower ends of the spring A respectively abut against the bushing A and the middle of the shell, and the upper and lower ends of the spring B respectively abut against The boss at the lower end of the bushing A and the push rod, the pressure plate is inserted into the hole set in the middle of the shell, the upper end of the pressure plate is inserted into the lower end of the push rod, the lower end of the pressure plate contacts the upper ends of the rocking plates A and B, the rocking plates A and B are respectively inserted into the middle of the torsion spring and connected with the pin B inserted into the base at both ends, one end of the two torsion springs respectively presses against the rocking plates A and B, and the other ends respectively press against the pin A inserted into the base, the lower ends of the rocking plates A and B respectively press against the spring sheets, the two spring sheets are respectively mounted on the micro switches, and the micro switches are fixed to the base by the pin C. Under the condition of no external force, rocker plates A and B are in a free state. Under the action of the torsion spring preload, they press the spring sheet and put the micro switch in a pressed-on state; under the high-speed and strong external pressure, the button moves downward, spring A is compressed, and the external impact is first absorbed; when the button moves, it drives the push rod and the pressure plate at the lower end of the push rod to move downward at the same time. The pressure plate first presses rocker plate A, which rotates around pin B, and its lower end releases the spring sheet, which returns upward, and the micro switch button automatically returns to its free position. When the micro switch release position is reached, the switch is switched; then the pressure plate presses rocker plate B, so that the micro switch pressed by rocker plate B is released and switched (same working principle as rocker plate A). After the two micro switches are completely released, the lower end of the push rod contacts the end face of the shell partition structure and cannot continue to move downward. At this time, the button will drive bushing A to compress spring B downward, and the upper end of the push rod gradually extends into the opening designed in the middle of the button, and the remaining impact is absorbed by spring B. After the external pressure is cancelled, the internal mechanism of the switch returns to its initial state under the action of spring A, spring B, and torsion spring. A two-stage press-stroke switch structure with a small volume and strong impact resistance is realized. The built-in microswitch in the structure is initially in a pressed state. When the stroke switch is pressed, the built-in microswitch is released in the reverse direction, thereby avoiding the energy of high-speed impact being transmitted to the inside of the microswitch and causing damage to its structure. At the same time, a double spring buffer mechanism is designed to allow the switch to absorb more impact energy within a limited volume. In short, the present invention has a small volume and strong impact resistance, avoids the energy of high-speed impact being transmitted to the inside of the microswitch, and does not cause structural damage; it can absorb more impact energy.

The boss at the lower end of the rod 18, the pressure plate 5 is inserted into the hole set in the middle part of the shell 2, the upper end of the pressure plate 5 is inserted into the lower end of the pressing rod 18, the lower end of the pressure plate 5 is in contact with the upper ends of the rocking plate A6 and the upper ends of the rocking plate B19, the rocking plates A6 and B19 are respectively inserted into the middle of the torsion spring 7 and connected with the pin B20 inserted into the base 11 at both ends, one end of the two torsion springs 7 respectively presses against the rocking plates A6 and B19, and the other ends respectively press against the pin A8 inserted into the base 11, the lower ends of the rocking plates A6 and B19 respectively press against the spring sheets 9, the two spring sheets 9 are respectively mounted on the micro switches 10, and the micro switches 10 are fixed to the base 11 by the pins C21.

[0022] The button 1 , the bushing A3 , the pressure plate 5 , and the push rod 18 can move up and down in the housing 2 .
