At present, the safety switch in the prior art is generally provided with a movable contact and a fixed contact, which are turned on when the two contacts are in contact and turned off when the two contacts are separated. Most switches used on the market are generally normally open push button switches, which make the two contacts contact and turn on by pressing the button. However, in order to meet the special needs of users, it is urgent to design a normally closed safety switch. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above problems, the utility model provides a normally closed safety switch with a simple and reasonable structure to meet the special use requirements of users.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a normally closed safety switch, comprising a base and a shell arranged on the base, a fixed contact assembly being arranged in the shell, a button assembly being arranged on the upper end of the shell and slidably cooperating with the shell, a movable contact assembly being arranged on one end of the button assembly placed in the shell, the fixed contact assembly comprising two terminals located at the bottom of the base and two static contacts respectively connected to the terminals, the two static contacts being arranged oppositely in the shell, the movable contact assembly comprising a bracket and a moving contact, the bracket being arranged between the two static contacts and movably connected to the button assembly, the moving contact being arranged on the bracket, the static contact comprising a connecting portion and a contact portion, the connecting portion being arranged between the terminal and the contact portion, the contact portion being arranged above the bracket and corresponding to the position of the moving contact, the moving contact being driven by the button assembly to move toward the base to disconnect it from the contact portion or to move away from the base to connect it with the contact portion.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator operates the button assembly, the button assembly drives the bracket to move downward, and the moving contact arranged on the bracket moves downward synchronously with the bracket, and the contact part of the static contact piece is separated from the corresponding moving contacts, so that the circuit is disconnected. The structure is simple and reasonable, and meets the special usage needs of the user. The two static contact pieces are relatively arranged in the shell, and the bracket is arranged between the two static contact pieces. The structure is more compact, and the contact part is separated from the moving contact to disconnect the circuit or fit together to conduct the circuit. The structure is more solid, avoiding the occurrence of poor contact with the moving contact due to contact falling off, and further improving the reliability of the structure.

[0006] The utility model is further configured as follows: the button assembly includes an operating piece and a push rod, the push rod is arranged at one end of the operating piece corresponding to the direction of the bracket and is placed in the shell, the upper end of the bracket is connected to the lower end of the push rod, the push rod outer sleeve is provided with a first spring, one end of the first spring abuts against the operating piece, and the other end abuts against the bracket, a second spring is provided at the lower end of the bracket, and the base is provided with a accommodating groove for accommodating the second spring corresponding to the position of the second spring, one end of the second spring abuts against the lower end of the bracket, and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating groove.
