[0012] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0013] Reference Figure 1-2 , this specific embodiment adopts the following technical scheme: a swing type material level switch, including a shell 1, a shell cover 2, a connecting tooth head 3, a swing rod 4, a connecting rod 5, a swing mark 6, a reset spring 7, a reset bracket 8, a switch bracket 9, a micro switch 10, a torque adjustment screw 11, a positioning seat 12, a positioning pin 13 and a wire entry port 14, the shell cover 2 is installed on the top of the shell 1, the connecting tooth head 3 is installed on the lower end of the shell 1, the reset spring 7 and the reset bracket 8 are installed inside the shell 1, and the shell 1 is also fixed by the switch bracket 9 There is a micro switch 10, which is connected to one end of the reset spring 7. The other end of the reset spring 7 is connected to the upper end of the rocker arm 4 through the reset bracket 8. The rocker arm 4 is installed on the positioning seat 12 through the positioning pin 13. The positioning seat 12 is fixed in the connecting tooth head 3. The lower end of the rocker arm 4 is connected and fixed to the rocker mark 6 through the connecting rod 5; a torque adjusting screw 11 for adjusting the torque is installed inside the shell 1, and a wire entry port 14 is provided on the side of the shell 1, and the wires connected to the micro switch 10 pass through the wire entry port 14.
[0014] It is worth noting that a first sealing ring 15 is provided at the connection between the rocker arm 4 and the positioning seat 12; the housing cover 2 is screwed and installed on the housing 1, and a second sealing ring 16 is provided at the connection between the housing cover 2 and the housing 1, so as to improve the sealing performance of the material level switch in different usage scenarios.
[0015] In this specific embodiment, the pendulum 4 and the positioning pin 13 are combined into a pendulum body.
