Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle micro switches, and in particular to a micro switch protection seat, a charging port seat and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, more and more micro switches are installed on vehicles, such as on the charging port of some vehicles and on the hidden handles of some vehicles.

[0003] The existing micro switches are mainly composed of contacts and a base. When the micro switch is pressed, the contacts move toward the base. When the contacts move toward the base to the trigger stroke L1, the micro switch is triggered. However, in many cases, the user will continue to press the contacts to move to the base to the limit stroke L2. Pressing the contacts to the limit stroke L2 for a long time can easily cause damage to the micro switch. Therefore, the micro switch needs to be protected to reduce the occurrence of damage due to long-term pressing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a micro switch protection seat to improve the technical problem that the existing micro switch is easy to press the contact to the limit stroke, and long-term pressing is easy to cause damage to the micro switch.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the utility model provides a micro switch protection seat for protecting a micro switch, wherein the micro switch comprises a contact and a base, wherein the contact is pressed for use, and the micro switch protection seat comprises a main body, wherein a housing cavity for housing the micro switch is arranged; a clamping plate, which is arranged on the side wall of the housing cavity; a clamping block, which is arranged on the clamping plate and extends into the housing cavity, wherein the clamping block is configured to abut against the top surface of the base to limit the micro switch from detaching from the housing cavity; wherein the top surface of the clamping plate is between the trigger height and the limit height of the contact.

[0006] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a side wall of the accommodating cavity is provided with a limiting groove in the same direction as the accommodating cavity, and the limiting groove is configured to allow the protrusion of the side wall of the micro switch to be inserted.

[0007] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a guide portion is disposed on the main body, and the guide portion is disposed along a setting direction of the accommodating cavity.

[0008] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the guide portion is disposed on a side wall of the main body, and the guide portion protrudes outward from the main body.

[0009] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a limiting portion protruding from the main body is disposed on the outer periphery of the main body.

[0010] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a projection of the limiting portion in the direction in which the accommodating cavity is set does not overlap with a projection of the guiding portion in the direction in which the accommodating cavity is set.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, an inclined surface is provided on the card block, and the inclined surface is inclined from the top surface to the bottom surface of the card block toward the accommodating cavity.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a wire groove communicating with the accommodating cavity is disposed at the bottom of the side wall of the main body, and the wire groove passes through the bottom wall of the main body downward.

[0013] The present application also provides a charging port socket, comprising the micro switch protection socket described in any one of the above items.

[0014] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the micro switch protection seat described in any one of the above items.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] When pressing the existing micro switch, it is very easy for the user to press the micro switch to the limit stroke, and long-term or multiple pressing can easily cause the micro switch to be damaged. The micro switch protection seat of the present application is provided with a accommodating chamber, and the micro switch is installed in the accommodating chamber. The micro switch is limited by the card block so that the micro switch is fixed in the accommodating chamber. The top surface of the card plate is between the trigger height and the limit height of the contact. When the micro switch is pressed, the pressing plate or the pressing block first contacts the top surface of the contact, and then drives the contact to move toward the base. When the contact reaches the trigger height, the micro switch is triggered. If the user continues to press, the pressing plate or the pressing block will abut against the top surface of the card plate, and the card plate will bear a continuous large force, thereby preventing the contact from moving to the limit height, that is, avoiding the long-term or multiple limit strokes of the contact, resulting in continuous squeezing of the contact and the base, causing the problem of damage to the micro switch.

[0032] With the development of automobile technology, micro switches are increasingly used in vehicles. Micro switches usually include contacts and a base. The micro switch is activated by pressing the contact toward the base. The contact has two strokes. The first stroke is the trigger stroke L1. When the contact moves to the trigger stroke L1, the micro switch is triggered. The second stroke is the limit stroke L2. When the contact moves to the limit stroke L2, the contact cannot move further. When in use, users often continue to press the contact to the limit stroke L2 after the contact moves to the trigger stroke L1 to ensure triggering. However, pressing the contact at the limit stroke L2 for a long time can easily damage the micro switch. Based on this, the present application provides a micro switch protection seat to provide protection for the micro switch.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6The micro switch protection seat includes a main body 100, a card plate 200 and a card block 210. The main body 100 is provided with a receiving chamber 110 for receiving the micro switch 300. The receiving chamber 110 is used to contain the micro switch 300. The micro switch 300 is assembled in the receiving chamber 110 surrounded by the main body 100. The micro switch 300 is protected by the receiving chamber 110 to reduce the probability of the micro switch 300 being bumped or damaged. The card plate 200 is arranged on the side wall of the receiving chamber 110. In other words, the card plate 200 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 100. The card block 210 is arranged on the card plate 200 and extends into the receiving chamber 110. The card block 210 is configured to abut against the top surface of the base 320 to limit the micro switch 300 from being separated from the receiving chamber 110. After the base 320 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 110, the bottom surface of the block 210 abuts against the top surface of the base 320. Since the block 210 extends into the accommodating cavity 110, the base 320 can be restricted from being separated from the accommodating cavity 110, thereby limiting the micro switch 300 from being separated from the accommodating cavity 110, thereby achieving relative fixation of the micro switch 300 and the micro switch protection seat 10. The top surface of the card plate 200 is between the trigger height and the limit height of the contact 310. In other words, in the reset state, the distance between the top surface of the card plate 200 and the top surface of the contact 310 is L3. The height difference between the top surface of the contact 310 when the micro switch 300 is triggered and the top surface of the contact 310 in the reset state is the trigger stroke L1. The height difference between the top surface of the contact 310 when the contact 310 moves to the limit and the top surface of the contact 310 in the reset state is the limit stroke L2. The top surface of the card plate 200 is between the trigger height and the limit height of the contact 310, that is, L1≤L3<L2. When the contact 310 is pressed, the micro switch 300 is triggered after the contact 310 moves the trigger stroke L1. When the user continues to press the contact 310, the pressing device drives the contact 310 to continue to move until the contact 310 contacts the top surface of the card block 210 in the pressed state, and the contact 310 cannot continue to move. Therefore, the force applied by the user is borne by the clamping plate 200 of the micro switch protection seat 10, preventing the micro switch 300 from being subjected to excessive pressure. At the same time, it can prevent the micro switch 300 from being in the limit stroke for a long time, thereby protecting the micro switch 300, reducing the chance of damage to the micro switch 300, extending the service life of the micro switch 300, and improving the user experience.

[0034] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, the side wall of the accommodating cavity 110 is provided with a limiting groove 120 in the same direction as the accommodating cavity 110. The accommodating cavity 110 is provided in the same direction as the moving direction of the contact 310, that is, the limiting groove 120 is provided in the same direction as the moving direction of the contact 310, and one end of the limiting groove 120 penetrates to the top opening of the accommodating cavity 110. The side wall of the micro switch 300 is usually provided with a protrusion 321 for installation. By providing the limiting groove 120 on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 110, when the micro switch 300 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 110, the protrusion 321 on the micro switch 300 is inserted into the limiting groove 120, which can not only facilitate the insertion of the micro switch 300 into the accommodating cavity 110, but also limit the shaking of the micro switch 300 through the cooperation between the limiting groove 120 and the protrusion 321. Preferably, the limiting groove 120 passes through the side wall of the main body 100 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the contact 310, that is, the thickness of the limiting groove 120 is consistent with the thickness of the side wall of the main body 100, thereby reducing the thickness of the side wall of the main body 100 and reducing the volume of the micro switch protection seat 10, which is convenient for design and installation.

[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment of the microswitch protection seat, a guide portion 130 is provided on the main body 100, and the guide portion 130 is provided along the setting direction of the accommodating cavity 110, and the guide portion 130 is provided along the moving direction of the contact 310. Preferably, the moving direction of the contact 310 is consistent with the installation direction of the microswitch protection seat 10. On the one hand, it is convenient for the microswitch protection seat 10 to be inserted and installed, and it is convenient to design and manufacture the installation area of ​​the microswitch protection seat 10. On the other hand, after the microswitch protection seat 10 is assembled, the guide portion 130 can limit the microswitch protection seat 10 to prevent the microswitch protection seat 10 from shaking, especially in bumpy environments, to reduce the bumping of the microswitch protection seat 10, avoid abnormal noise, and extend the service life. Preferably, the guide portion 130 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and the length direction of the guide portion 130 is consistent with the moving direction of the micro switch 300. The two ends of the guide portion 130 are chamfered away from the main body 100, thereby facilitating the insertion of the guide portion 130 into the installation structure of the micro switch protection seat 10 and reducing bumps, wear, etc. on the guide portion 130.

[0036] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, the guide portion 130 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 100, and the guide portion 130 protrudes out of the main body 100, which is convenient for the installation of the micro switch protection seat 10. By protruding the guide portion 130 out of the main body, local design is convenient, and the installation area of ​​the micro switch protection seat 10 is convenient for production, and at the same time, the installation stability of the micro switch protection seat 10 can be improved.

[0037] See also Figure 3 to Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, a limiting portion 140 protruding from the main body 100 is provided on the periphery of the main body 100. Preferably, the main body 100 of the micro switch protection seat 10 is square as a whole. By providing the limiting portion 140 protruding from the main body 100 on the periphery, the micro switch protection seat 10 can be conveniently limited and installed. Preferably, the limiting portion 140 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and the length direction of the limiting portion 140 is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide portion 130, so as to realize the limiting fixation of the micro switch protection seat 10 in two directions, and improve the installation stability of the micro switch protection seat 10. At the same time, when the user applies too much force, the limiting portion 140 increases the contact area between the micro switch protection seat 10 and the installation area, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the micro switch protection seat 10 or the installation area of ​​the micro switch protection seat 10.

[0038] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, the projection of the limiter 140 in the direction of the accommodation cavity 110 does not overlap with the projection of the guide portion 130 in the direction of the accommodation cavity 110. In other words, the projection of the limiter 140 in the installation direction of the micro switch protection seat 10 does not overlap with the projection of the guide portion 130 in the installation direction of the micro switch protection seat 10, thereby reducing interference. Preferably, the limiter 140 is disposed on two symmetrical side surfaces of the main body 100, and the guide portion 130 is disposed on the other two symmetrical side surfaces of the main body 100, so as to facilitate the design of the installation structure of the micro switch protection seat 10 and improve the strength of the installation structure of the micro switch protection seat 10.

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, the block 210 is provided with an inclined surface 220, and the inclined surface 220 is inclined from the top surface of the block 210 to the bottom surface in the direction of the accommodating cavity 110. When the micro switch 300 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 110, the bottom surface of the base 320 first contacts the top surface of the block 210. By providing the inclined surface 220, it is convenient for the card plate 200 to be inclined away from the accommodating cavity 110, thereby facilitating the insertion of the micro switch 300 into the accommodating cavity 110. When the micro switch 300 is inserted into the set position, the card plate 200 is reset, and the bottom surface of the block 210 abuts against the top surface of the base 320, so as to limit the micro switch 300 and prevent the micro switch 300 from being separated from the accommodating cavity 110.

[0040] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4In an exemplary embodiment of the micro switch protection seat, a wire groove 150 communicating with the accommodating cavity 110 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the main body 100, and the wire groove 150 runs downward through the bottom wall of the main body 100. The wire groove 150 is provided to facilitate the wire harness of the micro switch 300 to pass through and improve the neatness of the wire harness. The wire groove 150 runs downward through the bottom wall of the main body 100, which facilitates the insertion of the wire harness into the wire groove 150 and facilitates the arrangement and installation.

[0041] The present application also provides a charging port socket, which includes any of the micro switch protection sockets 10 described above, and the charging port socket also includes a charging port and other structures. Please refer to the existing charging port sockets, and the present application will not elaborate on this.

[0042] The present application also provides a vehicle, including any of the above-mentioned micro switch protection seats 10, the micro switch protection seat 10 can be set on the charging port seat, and can also be set on the hidden handle. The present application does not limit the installation position of the micro switch protection seat 10. The vehicle of the present application also includes a power system, a control system and other mechanisms. Please refer to the existing vehicles, and the present application will not elaborate on this.

[0043] The micro switch protection seat of the utility model has the beneficial effects of protecting the micro switch 300, preventing the micro switch 300 from being subjected to excessive force, being easily damaged due to being in the limit stroke for a long time, etc. Therefore, the utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art and has a high utilization value and use significance.
