Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of switches, and in particular relates to a voltage breakdown resistant structure of a switch and a glue injection plastic sealed switch. Background Art

[0002] A switch in the prior art typically includes contacts and conductive components. To achieve a certain insulation safety level, many standards and certifications stipulate the dielectric withstand voltage of such switches. That is, when a certain voltage is connected between two unconnected conductive components, the leakage current should be less than the specified value or no breakdown or flashover will occur. The existing technology mostly adopts the following two methods to ensure that the dielectric withstand voltage of the switch can meet the requirements of relevant standards and certifications. One is to achieve this by increasing the air gap between two unconnected conductive components. This structure is bound to increase the volume of the product; the other is to achieve this by increasing the creepage distance between two unconnected conductive components. A more typical implementation method is to set a retaining wall or groove between the two conductive components, and use the retaining wall or groove to increase the creepage distance between the two conductive components; the above two methods can improve the voltage breakdown resistance of the switch to a certain extent. However, the problem with this type of switch is that after the switch is powered on, its contacts will produce splashes under the action of the arc. Once there are too many splashes, they will cover the plastic surface between the two conductive components (including across the retaining wall and across the groove), directly connecting the two conductive components that were originally unconnected, thereby causing the disadvantage of unqualified dielectric withstand voltage.

[0003] In addition, in the fast-acting switches of the prior art, a normally closed contact group and a normally open contact group are usually provided. In order to meet the insulation safety level requirements, a retaining wall needs to be provided on the base between the normally closed contact group and the normally open contact group. However, an isolation boss is usually provided at the position between the normally closed contact group and the normally open contact group of the base. The specific isolation boss is provided at the position between the normally closed moving contact and the normally open moving contact. The function of the isolation boss is to isolate the moving spring contact when the spring piece on one side of the moving component breaks, so that the moving contact does not contact the normally closed static contact and the normally open static contact. The existence of the isolation boss limits the width of the retaining wall. The width of the retaining wall refers to the direction of the connection line between the two normally open moving contacts along the moving component. Since the width of the retaining wall cannot be long enough, the isolation effect of the retaining wall is affected. Summary of the Invention

In the cover plate 5, a first protrusion 51 is provided at a position corresponding to the first groove 64. Since the first groove 64 is in the lower half of the base 6, the first protrusion 51 of the cover plate 5 is also in the lower half of the cover plate 5 (as shown in the figure). Figure 13 As shown), the first protrusion 51 cooperates with the first groove 64 to form a first injection channel 71 with a relatively deep depth (relative to the second injection channel); in the cover plate 5, in the area corresponding to the area where the lead terminals are not distributed (such as Figure 13 A second groove 52 having a relatively shallow depth (relative to the first groove) is provided at the edge of the cover plate 5 in the upper half shown in the figure. In the base 6, a second protrusion 65 is provided at a position corresponding to the second groove 52, so that the second protrusion 65 cooperates with the second groove 52 to form a second injection channel 72 having a relatively shallow depth (relative to the first injection channel); the two ends of the first protrusion 51 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second groove 52, so that the first injection channel 71 and the second injection channel 72 are connected to form a glue injection channel 7 (as shown in the figure) surrounding the entire edge of the cover plate 5 and the base 6 and surrounding the core component 3. Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown), the injection channel 7 is provided with at least one injection port 74 leading to the outside, so as to inject the sealant 80 into the injection channel 7 by using the injection port 74 and form a cured plastic package 73 in the injection channel (as shown). Figure 20 As shown), thereby achieving plastic sealing of the core component 3.

[0075] In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is further provided with a third protrusion 53 along the setting direction of the second groove 52 , and the second groove 52 is provided in the third protrusion 53 .

[0076] In this embodiment, Figure 14 、 Figure 15As shown, there are two glue injection ports 74, and the two glue injection ports 74 are respectively arranged at the positions of the cover plate 5 corresponding to the first glue injection channel 71; the glue injection port 74 includes a mouth 541 and a connecting channel 542; the mouth 541 is trumpet-shaped; the large end of the trumpet-shaped mouth 541 is located on the outer side of the cover plate 5; the small end of the trumpet-shaped mouth 541 is connected to one end of the connecting channel 542; the other end of the connecting channel 542 passes through the first protrusion 51 and is connected to the first glue injection channel 71.

[0077] Of course, if Figure 27 As shown, the glue injection port 74 can also be arranged at a position in the base 6 corresponding to the first glue injection channel 71; similarly, the glue injection port includes a mouth and a connecting channel; the mouth is trumpet-shaped; the large end of the trumpet shape of the mouth is on the outer side of the base; the small end of the trumpet shape of the mouth is connected to one end of the connecting channel; the other end of the connecting channel passes into the first groove and is connected to the first glue injection channel.

[0078] Of course, the injection port may also adopt other shapes.

[0079] In this embodiment, Figure 21 、 Figure 22 、 Figure 23As shown, the four lead terminals 2 are respectively located on both sides of the base 6, and at the installation positions of the two lead terminals 21, in the lead terminal 21, at the position corresponding to the position passing through the first groove 64, and in the middle of the lead terminal 21, a through hole 211 is provided to allow the sealant to pass through, and at the position corresponding to the position passing through the first groove 64, and on both sides of the width of the lead terminal 21, a recess 212 is provided to allow the sealant to pass through from both sides of the width of the lead terminal; and in the base 6 and the cover plate 5, at the positions corresponding to the recess 212 of the lead terminal 21, there are respectively provided convex portions, namely the convex portion 66 of the base 6 and the convex portion 55 of the cover plate 5; the convex portion 66 of the base 6 and the recess 212 of the lead terminal 21, as well as the convex portion 55 of the cover plate 5 and the recess 212 of the lead terminal 21, there are gaps to form through holes for the sealant to flow through. At the installation location of the other two lead terminals 22, a through hole 221 is provided in the middle of the lead terminal at a position corresponding to the first groove 64, allowing the passage of sealant. The base 6 and cover plate 3 are also provided with recessed portions, namely the recessed portion 67 of the base 6 and the recessed portion 56 of the cover plate 5, at positions corresponding to the width of the lead terminal passing through the first groove, to allow the passage of sealant from both sides of the width of the lead terminal. The provision of a through hole in the middle of the lead terminal and the provision of channels allowing the passage of sealant on both sides of the width of the lead terminal 2 can, on the one hand, facilitate the flow of sealant, and on the other hand, facilitate the sealing of the junction between the lead terminal 2, the base 6, and the cover plate 5, thereby achieving overall sealing of the product.

[0080] In this embodiment, the base 6 is provided with an inclined convex portion 68 at the junction of the two ends of the first groove 64 and the two ends of the second protrusion 65; the upper end of the inclined convex portion 68 is connected to the second protrusion 65, and the upper end is flush with the top surface of the protrusion of the second protrusion 65; the lower end of the inclined convex portion 68 is connected to the first groove 64, and the lower end is flush with the bottom of the groove of the first groove 64; thereby, the glue injection channel 7 is designed to have a smooth transition in spatial torsion at the corresponding position. Since the first groove 64 is a deep groove and the second groove 52 is a shallow groove, the first glue injection channel 71 is deeper and the second glue injection channel 72 is shallower, making the entire glue injection channel 7 have a staggered and winding shape. In order to avoid the sealant not filling the entire glue injection channel 7 during the glue injection process, the glue injection channel 7 needs to be designed with a smooth transition in spatial torsion to ensure smooth flow of the sealant.

[0081] In this embodiment, the base 6 is provided with a glue-leakage prevention groove 69 at the outer edge of the base 6 corresponding to the inclined protrusion 68, and the glue-leakage prevention groove 69 covers the inclined protrusion 68 in the longitudinal direction. The cover plate 5 is provided with a glue-leakage prevention rib 57 at a position corresponding to the glue-leakage prevention groove 69 of the base 6. The glue-leakage prevention rib 57 of the cover plate 5 cooperates with the glue-leakage prevention groove 69 of the base 6 to prevent glue from leaking outward at the junction of the first glue injection channel 71 and the second glue injection channel 72. Because the sealant needs to climb when entering the second glue injection channel 72 from the first glue injection channel 71, the increased injection pressure in the climbing area can cause glue to leak from the side. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glue-leakage prevention structure at this location. On the one hand, it can provide a buffer for the sealant at this location during the injection process, and on the other hand, it can effectively prevent the sealant from leaking from the side.

[0082] In this embodiment, Figure 17 、 Figure 24 、 Figure 25 As shown, in the base 6, at the position corresponding to the end of the glue flow of the second glue injection channel 72, the outer side of the second protrusion 65 is set as an inclined surface 651, so that the second glue injection channel 72 is inclined outward at this position; the base 6 is also provided with a glue guide groove 691 connected to the outward inclined portion of the second glue injection channel 72 to guide out bubbles generated during glue injection in the glue injection channel 7. Figure 26 As shown, during glue injection, the glue of the two glue injection ports 74 moves to both sides and finally intersects at two positions in the upper and lower parts. Since there is air in the glue injection channel 7, bubbles will be generated at the end of the glue flow (i.e., the glue intersection). Since the glue groove at bubble 1 is deeper, the bubbles are deeply wrapped by the glue, so bubble 1 has no effect on the plastic sealing performance of the product. However, the glue groove at bubble 2 is shallow, and the bubbles generated will cause the product to leak, and the plastic sealing ability will not meet the requirements. Therefore, a glue injection channel exhaust structure is set at bubble 2, so that the glue injection channel at bubble 2 is tilted outward to form an oblique angle, and a glue guide groove is provided on the inclined side, through which glue and bubbles are discharged to the glue guide groove, so that the glue injection channel does not produce bubbles 2, and plastic sealing reliability is achieved. Of course, one or more glue guide grooves can be set.

[0083] The present invention relates to a mechanical switch for injection molding, wherein a first groove 64 is provided in the base 6 at an edge corresponding to an area where lead terminals are distributed, and which is relatively deep and passes through each lead terminal. A first protrusion 51 is provided in the cover 5 at a position corresponding to the first groove, and the first protrusion 51 cooperates with the first groove 64 to form a first injection channel 71 with a relatively deep depth. A second groove 52 is provided in the base 6 at an edge corresponding to an area where no lead terminals are distributed, and a second groove 52 is provided in the base 6 at a position corresponding to the first groove. A second protrusion 65 is provided at the position of the second groove, and the second protrusion 65 cooperates with the second groove 52 to form a second glue injection channel 72 of relatively shallow depth; the two ends of the first protrusion are respectively arranged to be connected with the two ends of the second groove, so that the first glue injection channel 71 and the second glue injection channel 72 are connected to form a glue injection channel 7 that surrounds the entire edge of the cover plate 5 and the base 6 and surrounds the core component 3. The glue injection channel 7 is provided with at least one glue injection port 74 leading to the outside, so that the sealant is injected into the glue injection channel 7 through the glue injection port 74 to form a solidified plastic sealing body 73 in the glue injection channel, thereby achieving plastic sealing of the core component 3. This structure of the present invention can eliminate the disadvantages of low production efficiency, the product's easy failure to meet the plastic sealing requirements, and the glue's easy overflow that contaminates the internal movement in the prior art, and has the characteristics of high production efficiency and good plastic sealing performance reliability.
