Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electromechanical technology, in particular to a sliding follower switch. Background Art

[0002] Reference is made to the inventor's pioneering invention of a follow-up motor (motor) related technology patent (CN2023111868943) and a proximity follow-up motor (CN2023111870801) disclosed as a large motor (large motor) (0.1) and a pioneering invention of a forward and reverse (forward and backward) motor (motor) control method and structure (CN2023112763667) and a general control method for a follow-up motor (motor) (CN2023115574385), as well as the pioneering invention of a circuit structure of a series-excited or series-excited follow-up motor (CN2023116381820) and a new follow-up switch and related patents (CN202311654224X) and related patents (CN202311678 8269 and CN2024102683764 and 2024104788313 and 2024101989109), it is not difficult to find that in the content of the above-mentioned pioneering patents, a clear and easy-to-understand specific definition has been given for this new type of motor. We all know that pioneering inventions must be creative, but in this new type of motor, the volume of the follow-up switch is not very compact, especially when using ready-made switches on the market such as photoelectric switches, Hall switches, etc., the volume is obviously larger, especially in the patent for follow-up motor (motor) related technology (CN2023111868943) can only be regarded as a follow-up switch using a mechanical proximity switch, so the volume of the follow-up switch accounts for a large proportion of the overall volume.

[0003] When designing a follow-up switch, readily available electronic switch components are often used, which have a large overall size. The large size will cause the follow-up switch to generate disturbances and vibrations caused by the external environment when moving, thereby affecting the accuracy. In order to facilitate the rapid integration of technology into robots, especially humanoid robots, it is particularly necessary to improve the accuracy and seismic resistance of the follow-up switch.
