Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a micro switch, in particular to a micro switch with an embedded terminal structure. Background Art

[0002] A micro switch is a switch with a small contact spacing and a snap-action mechanism, a contact mechanism that performs a switch action with a specified stroke and a specified force, and is covered with a housing with a drive rod on the outside. Because the contact spacing of the switch is relatively small, it is called a micro switch, also known as a sensitive switch. The existing micro switch includes a housing, a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, a moving reed, and a button disposed on the housing and used to drive the moving reed. The existing first terminal, second terminal, and third terminal are mostly clearance fit or slight interference fit.

[0003] The above two methods have the following risks:

[0004] 1. Clearance fit: The first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal may be displaced due to external force before sealing, causing the performance of the product to change, resulting in defective products and reducing the qualified rate;

[0005] 2. It is very difficult to control the micro interference, and the dimensional accuracy requirement is very high. If the interference is slightly larger, there is a risk of the shell being squeezed and broken. Therefore, it increases the difficulty of mold manufacturing and the difficulty of controlling the production process, greatly increasing the production cost and control cost. Summary of the invention

[0006] The utility model aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a micro switch with an embedded terminal structure which has a simple structure, stable and reliable performance and low cost.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts a micro switch with an embedded terminal structure, including a shell, a switch component arranged in the shell, the switch component including a first terminal arranged on the shell, a second terminal arranged on the shell, a third terminal arranged on the shell, a moving spring arranged on the first terminal, and a button arranged on the shell and used to drive the moving spring to move. The second terminal and the third terminal are respectively provided with static contacts that match the moving spring. The first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are respectively provided with an arc-surface protrusion on both sides, and the arc-surface protrusions are respectively abutted on the inclined surface in the insertion hole of the shell. The first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are provided with a through hole between the corresponding two arc-surface protrusions. The first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are provided with two limit blocks abutting in the shell on both sides.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are provided with an arc-surface protrusion that engages with the shell, and the arc-surface protrusion contacts the inclined surface in the socket of the shell, and the arc-surface protrusion will not scratch the shell, reducing the appearance of plastic powder, and the arc-surface protrusion is stuck on the inclined surface in the socket of the shell to prevent the arc-surface protrusion from squeezing the shell, which can ensure that the connection between the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal and the shell is more compact and firm. The first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are elastically connected with the shell, and a through hole is provided between the corresponding two arc-surface protrusions on the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal, so that the elasticity of the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal can be enhanced, and the interference of the arc-surface protrusion can be increased to ensure that the arc-surface protrusion can be clamped in the shell. Two limit blocks that contact the shell are provided on both sides of the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal, and the two limit blocks can play a limiting role, which can prevent the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal from loosening and falling off from the shell. Therefore, the micro switch has the advantages of simple structure, stable and reliable performance and low cost.

[0009] In particular, the number of the through holes is two, and the shape of the through holes is oblong or square. The through holes can increase the elasticity of the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal, and can ensure that the connection between the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal and the housing is more compact and firm.

[0010] In particular, the first terminal is provided with a first support arm and a second support arm at one end, and the first support arm and the second support arm are provided with positioning grooves matched with the movable spring piece, and the movable spring piece is engaged with the positioning groove, and the first support arm, the second support arm and the movable spring piece are engaged with each other. The movable spring piece is engaged with the first support arm and the second support arm of the first terminal, so as to facilitate the assembly of the movable spring piece and the first terminal, and the assembly efficiency is higher.

[0011] In particular, a support protrusion is provided in the housing corresponding to the second support arm, one end of the support protrusion abuts against the second support arm, and forms a limit fit between the support protrusion and the second support arm. The support protrusion can enhance the overall strength of the second support arm, which is beneficial to improving the working reliability of the micro switch.

[0012] In particular, the button is provided with a sealing sleeve which is sealed with the housing, and the sealing sleeve can enhance the sealing performance between the button and the housing, which is beneficial to improving the waterproof performance of the micro switch.
