Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of normally closed switch jumpers, in particular to a normally closed switch jumper for mechanical equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the safety of mechanical equipment, normally closed switches are installed on mechanical equipment. Normally closed switches are protective switches to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The state of the contacts corresponds to the working state of the equipment. When the equipment is normal, the switch contacts are generally in a closed state.

[0003] During the installation, commissioning, repair, maintenance and inspection of mechanical equipment, in order to verify whether the function of the mechanical equipment is normal, it is necessary to manually jumper the normally closed switch to perform verification or troubleshooting operations. Specifically, the operator uses a section of wire as a jumper wire of the normally closed switch, and through the connection of the jumper wire, the verification or troubleshooting of the mechanical equipment is realized.

[0004] However, after completing the verification or troubleshooting of mechanical equipment, the jumper wire is often forgotten in the circuit, causing the mechanical equipment's protective switch to remain in the jumper state, unable to play its due control role, and posing a greater safety hazard. For example, the gantry crane's limit switch will not be able to automatically stop at the operating limit after being jumpered, which can easily cause a derailment accident, resulting in equipment damage and personal injury. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a normally closed switch jumper for mechanical equipment, aiming to improve the problem that the jumper wire used for mechanical equipment verification or troubleshooting is left on the normally closed switch, posing a potential safety hazard.

[0011] Preferably, the Bluetooth circuit of the mechanical equipment and the Bluetooth circuit of the jumper are connected to transmit data and enter the Bluetooth control state, in which the signal is turned on; turning off, connecting, and disconnecting Bluetooth can determine whether the control circuit works or not.

[0012] Preferably, the control of the time control state takes precedence over the Bluetooth control state.

[0022] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The following is a further description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0024] In order to avoid missing a jumper wire on a normally closed switch, the present embodiment provides a jumper that can be automatically started and broken, the jumper comprising a shell and a circuit board located in the shell, the circuit board being provided with a power supply circuit, a timing control circuit, a Bluetooth circuit, a control circuit, a reminder circuit, etc., the shell being provided with a time control button 2, a power status light 4, a time display light 1 and four wires, the time control button 2 and the time display light 1 being electrically connected to the timing control circuit, the power status light 4 being electrically connected to the power circuit, and two power connectors 5 being provided at the end of the power circuit, the two power connectors 5 being connected to various power sources between AC / DC 12V-260V through power lines, an intermittent buzzer 3 being provided on the reminder circuit, a relay being provided on the control circuit, and a signal connector 6 being provided at the end, the signal connector 6 being connected to the wiring terminal of the normally closed switch through a signal line.

[0025] Specifically, two signal lines are connected to the two terminals of the normally closed switch or the wires connecting the two terminals; two power lines (one connected to the high level and the other connected to the low level) are connected to the power supply of the mechanical equipment, outputting the power supply of the working voltage, and supplying the internal time control circuit, Bluetooth circuit, control circuit, and reminder circuit at the same time. That is, the power supply of the mechanical equipment itself is converted into the working power supply through the internal power supply circuit for operation. The internal power supply circuit of the jumper is rectified and stepped down to the working power supply, and the power is supplied to other circuits for operation. The two signal lines are turned on by the relay trigger of the control circuit. Then they are connected to the two terminals of the normally closed switch or the wires connecting the two terminals to form a jumper for the normally closed switch (circuit) of the mechanical equipment. After the given conditions are lost, the relay contacts of the control circuit are disconnected, making the jumper function invalid.

[0026] In addition, any one of the two signal lines can be connected in parallel with one of the two power lines to meet the power characteristics of the normally closed switch (circuit). If the device input signal is high-level valid, a high-level line of a power line can be connected to a signal line to output a high-level signal; if it is low-level valid, a low-level line of a power line can be connected to a signal line to output a low-level signal.

[0027] The jumper is characterized in that after the power supply of the mechanical equipment is connected, it enters the test state. The control circuit and the reminder circuit work immediately. The two signal lines are connected after the relay of the control circuit is triggered. The buzzer will emit an intermittent reminder. Let the user know that operations such as troubleshooting or function verification can be performed. If no external signal is applied, the test time is 30 minutes. After the time is reached, the control circuit stops working, the two signal lines are in a disconnected state, and the jumper fails. At this time, the buzzer is silent, and all the time display lights 1 flash. If the power is disconnected again later, it will enter the test state again when the power is connected again.

[0028] Within 30 minutes after the mechanical equipment enters the test state, the time control circuit can be started by pressing the time control button on the shell, and the time control state will be entered immediately. The time display light 1 will adjust the time according to the pressing of the time control button, and each press will increase one hour, and the maximum setting value is 10 hours. The time display lights 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent the corresponding time. After the setting is completed and the countdown begins, the corresponding time display light 1 will be always on, and the buzzer will emit light and sound reminders with intermittent sounds. During the countdown process, the time display light 1 will go out accordingly until all are extinguished. When all are extinguished, it means that the countdown is over. After the time is over, the control circuit stops working, and the two signal lines are in a disconnected state, making the jumper invalid. At this time, the buzzer is in a silent state, and all the time display lights 1 flash.

[0029] Within 30 minutes after the device enters the test state, the Bluetooth control device can be paired with the Bluetooth circuit of the jumper to transmit data and enter the Bluetooth control state. All time display lights 1 will flash, and the buzzer will emit light and sound reminders with intermittent sounds. When the Bluetooth control device is turned off or exceeds the transmission distance, the Bluetooth data transmission fails, and the control circuit and reminder circuit will stop working. The two signal lines are disconnected, making the jumper invalid. At this time, the buzzer is silent and the time display light 1 continues to flash. If the Bluetooth control device is turned on again or approaches the jumper to reach the transmission distance, the Bluetooth control device and the Bluetooth circuit of the jumper will be connected again, the Bluetooth connection will be restored, and the Bluetooth control state will be entered again.

[0030] The control of the time control state takes precedence over the Bluetooth control state. That is, when the jumper is in the Bluetooth control state, you can press the time control button to start the time control state, and the Bluetooth control state will automatically exit and enter the time control state.

[0031] After the Bluetooth control device is paired with the Bluetooth circuit of the jumper, data is transmitted to enter the Bluetooth control state. The Bluetooth control device can turn off Bluetooth, connect or disconnect to make the control circuit of the jumper work or stop working within the set distance. It can only be paired with one Bluetooth control device. The method of unpairing is that the Bluetooth control device can only delete or ignore this jumper before it can pair with other Bluetooth control devices again. This reduces the risk of misoperation and improves safety.

[0032] After the device is powered on, press the time control button to start the time control circuit and enter the time control state. The time display light 1 will control the time according to the pressing of the time control button. Each press will increase one hour, and the maximum setting value is 10 hours. When it is pressed eleven times, the jumper can be closed, and the relay contacts of the control circuit are disconnected, making the jumper function invalid. That is, the two signal lines are disconnected, making the jumper invalid. At this time, the buzzer is silent and all the time display lights 1 flash.

[0033] When the reminder circuit is working, the buzzer will sound an intermittent reminder. When all the time display lights 1 flash, it means that the Bluetooth control state has been entered, and the corresponding time display light 1 is always on, which means that the time control state has been entered. When the buzzer of the reminder circuit is triggered by the relay of the control circuit to make the two signal lines conductive, the buzzer must be in the intermittent buzzing state.

[0034] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be modified and varied in various ways. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
