Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of switch testing technology, specifically to a limit switch assembly and testing device. Background Technology
[0002] On a space launch vehicle, a limit switch is a sensor used to detect whether a mechanical component has reached a predetermined position. It changes the circuit state by physically contacting the object being detected, triggering internal electrical contacts (normally open or normally closed), thereby sending a clear "yes / no" or "start / stop" binary signal to the control system.
[0003] Limit switches used in space launchers are characterized by their small size and high precision requirements. To ensure the accuracy of launches, the quality requirements for these limit switches are very high.

[0016] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the tension rod consists of a tension rod one and a tension rod two. The tension rod one has a variable diameter threaded groove, and the tension rod two has a T-shaped groove. The tension rod one and the tension rod two are connected by a T-shaped post. A guide block is fixed on the peripheral wall of the T-shaped post. The guide block is slidably disposed in the variable diameter threaded groove. The T-shaped part of the T-shaped post is rotatably disposed in the T-shaped groove and is locked to the tension rod one. The tension spring is connected to the end of the tension rod two.
[0017] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a bracket is fixed on the fixed base, a micrometer is fixed in the middle of the bracket, and a first transmission component is provided on the top of the bracket;

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an assembly and testing device for limit switches, which has the following advantages:
[0021] 1. By using the lifting component, the tension spring applies a circumferential eccentric force to the force axis of the limit switch, thereby simulating the situation where the limit switch encounters impact forces in different directions during actual use, making the test data more reliable.
[0022] 2. By using the first transmission mechanism, the stepping speed of the force-bearing shaft and the internal moving contact can be reduced, avoiding excessive stepping of the moving contact when directly rotating the micrometer, preventing stroke error, and thus improving the testing accuracy.
[0023] 3. Through the cooperation of the T-shaped column and the first tie rod, when the right end of the tension spring moves up or down synchronously with the force axis, the left end of the tension spring moves to the right or left synchronously with the second tie rod. Thus, the elongation of the tension spring remains unchanged, ensuring that the tension value on the force axis is constant. Therefore, the test results can correspond to the preset tension value, thereby improving the accuracy of the test data.
[0024] 4. Through the coordinated use of the first and second transmission mechanisms, when the force shaft moves up or down, the T-shaped column will move to the right or left simultaneously, thereby ensuring that the elongation of the tension spring remains constant during the test, thus improving the accuracy of the test results.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution:
[0039] A limit switch assembly and testing device includes a support assembly, a testing assembly, a lifting assembly, and a detection assembly. The support assembly includes a base 11 and a turntable 12. The base 11 is fixedly mounted, and a placement hole is formed at the center of its top for placing the limit switch 2. The turntable 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via a bearing 13. The testing assembly includes a fixed base 31 and a micrometer 32. The fixed base 31 is mounted on the turntable 12, and the micrometer 32 is mounted on the fixed base 31, with its output end located directly above the force-bearing shaft 21 of the limit switch 2. The lifting assembly includes a spring base 41 and a tension spring 42. The spring base 41 is fixed to the turntable 12, and the tension spring 42 connects the spring base 41 and the force-bearing shaft 21. The detection assembly is mounted on the base 11 and includes a first indicating circuit and a second indicating circuit. The first indicating circuit is connected to the first circuit of the limit switch 2, and the second indicating circuit is connected to the second circuit of the limit switch 2.
[0040] First, it should be noted that the first circuit within limit switch 2 is typically configured with a long contact piece, while the second circuit is typically configured with a short contact piece. When testing limit switch 2, a first indicating circuit is connected to the long contact piece, and a second indicating circuit is connected to the short contact piece. Rotating the micrometer 32 allows its output end to move up and down. As the micrometer 32 moves, it presses against the force-bearing shaft 21, causing it to move synchronously. This movement of the force-bearing shaft 21 causes the moving contact in limit switch 2 to move synchronously. Therefore, when the force-bearing shaft 21 moves, the continuity of the first indicating signal from the first indicating circuit and the second indicating signal from the second indicating circuit are observed to determine whether the long contact piece and the moving contact, and the short contact piece and the moving contact, are making good contact.
[0041] The trigger position, reset position, and hysteresis of limit switch 2 are all determined by minute mechanical dimensions. The accuracy of micrometer 32 (0.01mm, estimable to 0.001mm) perfectly matches this order of magnitude. Moreover, micrometer 32 can transform the abstract "trigger point" into a precise displacement value. This allows test results to be recorded accurately.
[0042] When a tension spring 42 is connected between the spring base 41 and the force-bearing shaft 21, the tension spring 42 will generate an eccentric pulling force on the force-bearing shaft 21 along the contraction direction of the tension spring 42. When the turntable 12 is rotated, the tension spring 42 rotates around the center of the force-bearing shaft 21, and the force direction on the force-bearing shaft 21 changes synchronously along the rotation direction of the tension spring 42. Thus, the effect of the tension spring 42 on the force-bearing shaft 21 can simulate the situation where the limit switch 2 encounters impact forces in different directions during actual use, making the test data more reliable.
[0043] In the specific test: Connect the first indicating circuit to the long contact piece of the limit switch 2. Rotate the micrometer 32 and observe the first indicating signal emitted by the first indicating circuit during the rotation of the micrometer 32. When the first indicating signal is activated for the first time, record the scale L0 on the micrometer 32. Then, rotate the dial 12 clockwise and counterclockwise and observe whether the first indicating signal is activated. If the first indicating signal emitted by the first indicating circuit is continuously activated during the rotation, it is determined that the position of the long contact piece is appropriate, and it is considered that the long contact piece can make good contact with the moving contact.
[0044] When rotating turntable 12, if the first indicator signal from the first indicator circuit is intermittently conducting, it is determined that a part of the long contact piece is incorrectly positioned, and it is assumed that the long contact piece cannot make good contact with the moving contact. At this time, limit switch 2 needs to be removed to adjust the long contact piece and then tested again. This process is repeated until the first indicator signal from the first indicator circuit is continuously conducting. Afterward, slowly rotate micrometer 32 until the first indicator signal from the first indicator circuit is disconnected and no longer conducting. Record the scale L1 on micrometer 32. At this point, the scale corresponding to L1 is considered to be the scale when the long contact piece and the moving contact are exactly disconnected.
[0045] The test then continues: Using the second indicating circuit on the short contact of limit switch 2, rotate micrometer 32 and observe the second indicating signal emitted by the second indicating circuit during rotation. When the second indicating signal first conducts, record the scale L2 on micrometer 32. Then, rotate dial 12 clockwise and counterclockwise, observing whether the second indicating signal conducts. If the second indicating signal remains conducting during rotation, it is determined that the short contact is properly positioned, and that the short contact can make good contact with the moving contact.
[0046] When rotating turntable 12, if the second indicator signal is intermittently on, it is determined that a part of the short contact piece is incorrectly positioned, indicating that the short contact piece cannot make good contact with the moving contact. In this case, limit switch 2 needs to be removed to adjust the short contact piece before testing again. This process is repeated until the second indicator signal is continuously on. Afterward, slowly rotate micrometer 32 until the second indicator signal is de-energized and no longer on, and record the scale L3 on micrometer 32. At this point, the scale corresponding to L3 is considered to be the scale at which the short contact piece and the moving contact are exactly disconnected.
[0047] After the test is completed: determine whether the distances between L0 and L1, and between L3 and L2, are within the preset range. If they are, the fixtures for the long and short contact pieces are considered to meet the requirements; otherwise, they do not meet the requirements. Also, calculate the distance between L2 and L1 as the travel distance L2-1 of limit switch 2, and determine whether L2-1 is within the preset travel range.
[0048] Limit switch 2 is considered to meet quality requirements when the distance between L0 and L1, the distance between L2 and L3 are within preset ranges, and L2-1 is within a preset travel range. Otherwise, limit switch 2 is considered to fail to meet quality requirements.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the first indicating circuit includes a first power supply, a first indicating element, and a first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is connected to the first circuit of the limit switch 2, and the first indicating element is connected between the first power supply and the first connecting portion. The second indicating circuit includes a second power supply, a second indicating element, and a second connecting portion. The second connecting portion is connected to the second circuit of the limit switch 2, and the second indicating element is connected between the second power supply and the second connecting portion.
[0050] During testing, observe the on / off state of the first and second indicators to determine whether the limit switch 2 meets the quality requirements.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the first indicator is configured as an indicator light or a buzzer; the second indicator is configured as an indicator light or a buzzer.
[0052] If an indicator light is used as the indicator, when the indicator light is on, it is considered that the long contact piece or the short contact piece is in good contact with the moving contact; otherwise, it is considered that the two are not in good contact or are disconnected. If a buzzer is used as the indicator, when the buzzer sounds, it is considered that the long contact piece or the short contact piece is in good contact with the moving contact; otherwise, it is considered that the two are not in good contact or are disconnected.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the spring base 41 is provided with a sliding groove 411 along the horizontal direction, and the top of the spring base 41 is provided with a locking groove 412 along the vertical direction. The sliding grooves 411 are all connected to the locking grooves 412. A tension rod 44 is slidably provided in the sliding groove 411. The tension rod 44 is connected to one end of the tension spring 42. A latch 45 is rotatably provided on the tension rod 44. The latch 45 can be locked into the locking groove 412.
[0054] When the latch 45 moves into the slot 412, the tension rod 44 will achieve end limit, that is, the elongation of the tension spring 42 can be determined, and thus the magnitude of the eccentric force on the force shaft 21 can be determined.
[0055] In addition, the slide groove 411 serves as a clearance groove to facilitate the sliding of the latch 45 within the spring base 41, providing a sliding track for the synchronous movement of the tension rod 44 and the fixed base 31, as described later.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the turntable 12 is provided with a dovetail groove 122, and the bottom of the fixed base 31 is provided with a dovetail block that is adapted to the dovetail groove 122. The dovetail block is slidably disposed in the dovetail groove 122.
[0057] The bottom of the fixing seat 31 is provided with a first threaded hole, and the dovetail groove 122 is provided with second threaded holes on both sides. The screw can pass through the first threaded hole and be fixed in the second threaded hole to fix the fixing seat 31 to the turntable 12.
[0058] When installing or removing limit switch 2, it is necessary to move the positions of the mounting base 31 and micrometer 32 to provide installation space for limit switch 2.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment, a wiping cloth 43 is sleeved on the end of the tension spring 42 away from the tension rod 44, and the wiping cloth 43 is placed between the tension spring 42 and the force-bearing shaft 21.
[0060] If the tension spring 42 is in direct contact with the force shaft 21, when the tension spring 42 and the force shaft 21 rotate relative to each other, the direct contact and friction between the two hard materials will cause the surface of the force shaft 21 to be scratched. The soft wiping cloth 43 can act as a buffer pad, protecting the surface finish of the two metal parts and extending the service life of the test fixture.
[0061] At the same time, due to the large surface roughness of the wiping cloth 43, the friction between the wiping cloth 43 and the tension spring 42, and between the wiping cloth 43 and the force shaft 21 is large. This prevents the tension spring 42 from shifting relative to the force shaft 21 during the movement of the force shaft 21, thereby preventing the tension spring 42 from slipping off the force shaft 21 and causing the test process to fail to simulate the actual situation.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the tension rod 44 is composed of a first tension rod 441 and a second tension rod 442. The first tension rod 441 has a variable diameter threaded groove, and the second tension rod 442 has a T-shaped groove. The first tension rod 441 and the second tension rod 442 are connected by a T-shaped post 46. A guide block 47 is fixed on the peripheral wall of the T-shaped post 46. The guide block 47 is slidably disposed in the variable diameter threaded groove. The T-shaped part of the T-shaped post 46 is rotatably disposed in the T-shaped groove. The latch 45 rotates on the first tension rod 441, and the tension spring 42 is connected to the end of the second tension rod 442.
[0063] The above states that the friction between the wiping cloth 43 and the tension spring 42, and between the wiping cloth 43 and the force-bearing shaft 21, is relatively large. One end of the tension spring 42 and the force-bearing shaft 21 remain fixed in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the force-bearing shaft 21 is displaced, the tension spring 42 will tilt along with the force-bearing shaft 21, causing the tension force of the tension spring 42 on the force-bearing shaft 21 to change. The specific explanation is as follows:
[0064] For example, please refer to Figure 6 When conducting the test, if the left end of the tension spring 42 is fixed, when the force shaft 21 moves downward, the right end of the tension spring 42 will move downward synchronously with the force shaft 21, thereby increasing the elongation of the tension spring 42. According to Hooke's Law, the tension spring 42 will increase the tension on the force shaft 21, which will change the initial set conditions (the set value of the tension on the force shaft 21 remains unchanged), causing the test results to not correspond to the preset tension value, which will reduce the accuracy of the test data.
[0065] Conversely, if the force shaft 21 moves upward, the right end of the tension spring 42 will move upward synchronously with the force shaft 21, thereby reducing the elongation of the tension spring 42. According to Hooke's Law, the tension spring 42 will reduce the tension on the force shaft 21, which will change the initial set conditions, causing the test results to not correspond to the preset tension value, and also reducing the accuracy of the test data.
[0066] In this application, for example, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 6-7 When the T-shaped column 46 rotates counterclockwise under the action of external force, the T-shaped column 46 will drive the tie rod 442 to move to the right synchronously through the guide block 47 of the T-shaped column 46 and the variable diameter thread groove of the tie rod 441.
[0067] Conversely, under the action of external force, when the T-shaped column 46 rotates clockwise, the T-shaped column 46 will drive the tie rod 442 to move to the left synchronously through the guide block 47 of the T-shaped column 46 and the variable diameter threaded groove of the first tie rod 441.
[0068] In summary, when the right end of the tension spring 42 moves upward or downward synchronously with the force shaft 21, the left end of the tension spring 42 moves to the right or left synchronously with the pull rod 442. As a result, the elongation of the tension spring 42 remains constant, ensuring that the tension value on the force shaft 21 is constant. Therefore, the test results can correspond to the preset tension value, thereby improving the accuracy of the test data.
[0069] It should be noted that when the left end of the tension spring 42 is fixed, and the force shaft 21 moves at a constant speed in the vertical direction, the elongation of the tension spring 42 increases or decreases at varying speeds (this can be compared to the motion relationship between the hypotenuse and the right-angled side in a right triangle: when one right-angled side increases or decreases at a constant speed, if the length of the hypotenuse remains unchanged, the other right-angled side needs to shorten faster or lengthen slower). In this application, when the guide block 47 moves at a constant speed in the variable-diameter threaded groove, it drives the T-shaped column 46 to move at varying speeds. Therefore, the movement value of the left end of the tension spring 42 can just compensate for the deformation of the tension spring 42 itself. Thus, the tension of the tension spring 42 on the force shaft 21 can remain constant during the test.
[0070] When machining variable diameter thread grooves, it is important to ensure that the thread helix angle is less than the friction angle to prevent self-locking. At the same time, the change in the helix angle of the variable diameter thread groove should be smooth to avoid abrupt changes and reduce the risk of the guide block 47 getting stuck at the abrupt change in the helix angle.
[0071] In a preferred embodiment, a bracket 51 is fixed on the fixed base 31, the micrometer 32 is fixed in the middle part of the bracket 51, and a first transmission assembly is provided on the top of the bracket 51; the first transmission assembly includes a first gear 52, a second gear 53 and a knob 54, a key shaft is rotatably provided inside the bracket 51, the first gear 52 is engaged on the key shaft, the second gear 53 is keyed to the rotating part of the micrometer 32, the first gear 52 meshes with the second gear 53, and the knob 54 is fixed inside the first gear 52.
[0072] It should be explained that the number of teeth of gear 1 52 is less than the number of teeth of gear 2 53, therefore gear 1 52 and gear 2 53 constitute a reduction gear set.
[0073] Specifically, the movement distance of the force-bearing shaft 21 of the limit switch 2 needs to be precisely controlled to verify whether its trigger point meets the design requirements. For example, if the force-bearing shaft 21 needs to move 0.1mm to trigger the switch, directly rotating the rotating part of the micrometer 32 will cause a stroke error due to the excessive step of the moving contact. However, by using gear transmission, the moving contact can achieve a stroke step of 0.05mm or even smaller, thereby improving the test accuracy.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, this application further includes a second transmission mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft 61, a third gear 62, a first bevel gear 63, and a second bevel gear 64. The top of the rotating shaft 61 rotatably passes through the bracket 51, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 61 passes through the sliding groove 411 and is rotatably disposed within the first pull rod 441. The third gear 62 is keyed to the rotating shaft 61 and meshes with the second gear 53. The first bevel gear 63 is fixed on the rotating shaft 61. A guide groove 461 is provided on the peripheral wall of the T-shaped column 46. The second bevel gear 64 is fitted onto the T-shaped column 46. A locking block is fixed on the inner wall of the second bevel gear 64 and is slidably disposed within the guide groove 461. The first bevel gear 63 meshes with the second bevel gear 64. A T-shaped retaining groove is provided on the end wall of the first pull rod 441. A T-shaped retaining ring 65 is fixed on the second bevel gear 64 and is rotatably disposed within the T-shaped retaining groove.
[0075] Among them, the T-shaped retaining ring 65 can keep the second bevel gear 64 and the first bevel gear 63 always engaged, and prevent the second bevel gear 64 from moving with the T-shaped post 46.
[0076] Specifically, when the operator turns knob 54, gear 1 52 meshes with gear 2 53, causing the output end of micrometer 32 to move up and down against the force-bearing shaft 21. At the same time, gear 2 53 meshes with gear 3 62, which drives shaft 61 to rotate synchronously. Shaft 61 drives bevel gear 1 63 to rotate, which meshes with bevel gear 2 64. The locking block on the inner wall of bevel gear 2 64 drives the inner wall of guide groove 461 to rotate synchronously and uniformly, thereby achieving uniform rotation of T-shaped column 46.
[0077] Therefore, through the coordinated use of the first and second transmission mechanisms, when the force shaft 21 moves up or down, the T-shaped column 46 moves synchronously to the right or left, thereby ensuring that the elongation of the tension spring 42 remains constant during the test, thus improving the accuracy of the test results. Moreover, this setting method can achieve synchronous dual adjustment simply by turning the knob 54, thus improving the degree of automation.
[0078] In addition, it should be explained that the rotating shaft 61 can limit the pull rod 441 to prevent it from rotating, ensuring that the guide block 47 and the variable diameter thread groove can slide relative to each other. At the same time, when the rotating shaft 61 moves, it can drive the pull rod 441 to move synchronously, realizing the overall movement without the need to recalibrate the position of each component.
[0079] In this application, before testing the limit switch 2: first, the limit switch 2 is installed in the placement hole, then the fixing seat 31 is moved so that the nut engages with the threaded hole, then the tension spring 42 is connected between the pull rod 442 and the force-bearing shaft 21, and a wiping cloth 43 is placed between the tension spring 42 and the force-bearing shaft 21. After pulling up the latch 45 and rotating it, the latch 45 is locked into the slot 412, so that the tension spring 42 is in a stretched state, and the tension spring 42 applies a constant eccentric force to the force-bearing shaft 21. Then the limit switch 2 is tested to determine whether the limit switch 2 meets the quality requirements.
[0080] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
