Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a combined elevator door contact switch device, belonging to the field of elevator equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently in the elevator industry, contact-type door switches, which electrically verify the door's position and lock status, employ pin-and-socket switch structures and contact-and-base door lock switch structures. Both of these switch structures are single-unit structures: the pin-and-socket switch consists of one pin and one socket, while the door lock switch consists of one contact and one base. Therefore, at least two installation locations are required, which not only wastes installation space and makes installation inconvenient but also complicates wiring. Furthermore, most existing contact-type door lock switch structures are outdated and do not meet the IP2X protection level required by the new national standard. Additionally, if the spring contacts in these switches lack pre-compression, they will lack initial elasticity, resulting in minimal spring force released during a fixed travel. This can easily lead to poor contact. Moreover, when the plug disconnects from the contacts on the spring contacts, the lack of pre-compression can cause significant spring bounce, potentially leading to secondary conduction and posing a significant safety hazard to the elevator. Contact-type door lock switches are also prone to dust accumulation. Excessive dust accumulation under the spring contacts can, at best, affect the downward travel of the spring contacts, and at worst, damage the contacts, causing the elevator to stop operating. Summary of the Invention
