DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides an anti-fall pull-cord optical switch, which can solve the problem that most existing pull-cord switches in the related art are traditional electrical switches and have a certain risk of electric shock.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A fall-proof pull-wire optical switch includes: a switch body 1, a reset assembly 4, a pull rod assembly 5, a switch assembly 6 and a wire rope 7; the switch body 1 includes an installation chamber 2 formed by bolt connection; the reset assembly 4 includes a reset rod assembly 41 rotatably arranged inside the installation chamber 2, a cam 42 arranged on the reset rod assembly 41, and a group of water drop holes 43 are symmetrically opened on the cam 42; the pull rod assembly 5 includes a pull rod assembly 51 rotatably arranged in the installation chamber 2, a plug-in seat 52 arranged on the pull rod assembly 51, and a plug-in seat 52 symmetrically arranged on the plug-in seat A group of forks 53 on 52, the levers of the forks 53 are respectively inserted into the corresponding water drop holes 43, the size of the water drop holes 43 is obviously larger than the size of the levers, so that the levers with different movement axes can move in the water drop holes and drive the cam to swing; the switch assembly 6 includes the light attenuation switch 62 arranged in the installation chamber 2 and located above the cam 42, and the duplex light flange 63 connected to the light attenuation switch 62, the light attenuation switch 62 is provided with a movable plunger, and the plunger is connected to the cam; the wire rope 7 is arranged on the pull rod assembly 51.

[0030] It should be noted that the other output port of the duplex optical flange 63 in this embodiment is connected to an external alarm.

[0031] In actual use, when an emergency occurs, the steel wire rope 7 is hit, or the staff manually touches the steel wire rope, the steel wire rope 7 drives the pull rod assembly 51 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby driving the plug seat 52 and the pull fork 53 to rotate together. Since the lever of the pull fork 53 extends to the inside of the water drop hole 43, the cam 42 is driven to swing. When the cam 42 rotates and swings, it lifts the plunger of the optical attenuation switch 62, causing the optical path attenuation of the optical attenuation switch 62 to change, and transmits the optical signal emitted by the optical attenuation switch 62 to the controller through the duplex optical flange 63. The controller turns on the alarm according to the preset value, so that the alarm sounds an alarm. Using an optical switch for signal transmission can make the signal transmission effect better. At the same time, the device can realize clockwise and counterclockwise bidirectional swing, allowing the staff to manually alarm, or automatically trigger the alarm when the steel wire rope is hit, so that the device is more in line with actual use needs. At the same time, because it uses optical signals, the risk of electric shock is reduced and the safety of equipment use is improved.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the installation chamber 2 is formed by an upper cover assembly 12 and a lower cover assembly 13 connected by bolts, and also includes an anti-fall rope 10 with two ends respectively connected to the upper cover assembly 12 and the lower cover assembly 13.

[0033] The upper cover assembly 12 and the lower cover assembly 13 are connected and enclosed to form an installation chamber 2, and various components are installed through the installation chamber 2.

[0034] In addition, generally, the anti-fall pull rope optical switch of the utility model is generally fixedly installed on a fixed column or bracket. When the equipment is inspected and maintained, the upper cover assembly 12 and the lower cover assembly 13 are connected to each other through the anti-fall rope 10 to avoid the upper cover assembly 12 or the lower cover assembly 13 being lost during the maintenance process.

[0035] There are two forks 53 in a group, and the number of the water drop holes 43 corresponds to the number of the forks 53 .

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pull rod assembly 51 and the reset rod assembly 41 are arranged opposite to each other, and the pull rod assembly 51 and the reset rod assembly 41 are distributed along the length direction of the switch body 1 , and the plug-in seat 52 is a U-shaped plate.

[0037] The pull rod assembly 51 and the reset rod assembly 41 are symmetrically mounted inside the lower cover assembly 13, so that when the pull rod assembly 51 rotates, the reset rod assembly 41 can be driven to swing to a corresponding angle;

[0038] The U-shaped plug-in seat 52 can be used to mount the two pull-out forks 53 on the plug-in seat 52 , and the influence of the plug-in seat 52 on the cam 42 can be reduced.

[0039] Preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the reset rod assembly 41 in this embodiment includes a reset rod 411, an end cover 412, a spacer 413, an O-ring 414, a fixing pin 415, and a rotating shaft 416. The rotating shaft 416 is rotatably arranged inside the lower cover assembly 13, the O-ring 414 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 416, the cam 42 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 416, and the cam 42 is located inside the installation chamber 2, one end of the fixing pin 415 passes through the cam 42 and extends to the inside of the rotating shaft 416, one end of the rotating shaft 416 passes through the lower cover assembly 13 and is connected to the reset rod 411, the end cover 412 and the spacer 413 are both sleeved on the rotating shaft 416, and the end cover 412 is arranged inside the lower cover assembly 13.

[0040] The lower cover assembly 13 is provided with a through hole 1, one end of the rotating shaft 416 passes through the threaded hole and extends to the outside of the lower cover assembly 13, one end of the end cover 1 412 is connected to the through hole 1 by interference fit, and the end cover 1 412 has a circular hole inside, and the inner diameter of the end cover 1 412 is adapted to the rotating shaft 416;

[0041] During actual use, the end cover 412 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 416, and the rotating shaft 416 is then inserted into the threaded hole, and then the spacer 413 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 416, and the cam 42 is fixed to the rotating shaft 416 by the fixing pin 415, and then the end cover 412 is pressed into the through hole 1 to limit the reset rod 411 and the rotating shaft 416. When the fork 53 drives the cam 42 to rotate, it can drive the rotating shaft 416 and the reset rod 411 to rotate in the same direction.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a group of springs 9 are arranged at the bottom of the cam 42 , a protrusion 8 is arranged inside the lower cover assembly 13 , and the bottom end of the spring 9 abuts against one side of the protrusion 8 .

[0043] During actual use, when the cam 42 rotates together with the reset rod assembly 41, the upper end of the spring 9 is driven to shift in angle, and the bottom end of the spring 9 is squeezed against the protrusion 8. When the staff stops pulling the wire rope 7 or the wire rope is hit, the spring 9 returns to its natural state, driving the cam 42 and the reset rod 411 to swing to a corresponding angle, causing the optical path attenuation of the optical attenuation switch 62 to change.

[0044] Preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the pull rod assembly 51 in this embodiment includes a pull rod 511, an O-ring 512, an end cover 513 and a pull rod shaft 514, the pull rod shaft 514 is rotatably set on the lower cover assembly 13, the rotating shaft 416 and the pull rod shaft 514 are symmetrically distributed, and the rotating shaft 416 and the pull rod shaft 514 are distributed forward and backward along the length of the switch body 1, the O-ring 512 is sleeved on the pull rod shaft 514, one end of the pull rod shaft 514 passes through the lower cover assembly 13 and is connected to the pull rod 511, the end cover 513 is sleeved on the pull rod shaft 514, and the end cover 513 is set inside the lower cover assembly 13; the plug-in seat 52 is set on the pull rod shaft 514 and is located inside the installation chamber 2.

[0045] Among them, a through hole 2 is opened on the lower cover assembly 13, one end of the pull rod shaft 514 passes through the through hole 2 and extends to the outside of the lower cover assembly 13, one end of the end cover 2 513 is connected to the through hole 2 by interference fit, the end cover 2 513 has a circular hole inside, and the inner diameter of the end cover 2 513 is adapted to the pull rod shaft 514;

[0046] According to the same principle, the second end cover 513 is put on the pull rod shaft 514, one end of the pull rod shaft 514 passes through the second through hole and extends to the inside of the lower cover assembly 13, and then the plug-in seat 52 is fixedly installed on the pull rod shaft 514, and then the second end cover is pressed into the inside of the second through hole. Therefore, when the wire rope drives the pull rod 511 to rotate, the pull rod 511 drives the pull rod shaft 514 and the plug-in seat 52 to rotate at the same time, thereby driving the cam to rotate through the fork 53.

[0047] It can be understood that the steel wire rope 7 is wound around the pull rod 511 .

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 61 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 611 and a flange seat 612, the mounting plate 611 is connected to the inner side wall of the lower cover assembly 13 by bolts, and the flange seat 612 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the lower cover assembly 13 by bolts;

[0049] The duplex optical flange 63 is arranged on the flange seat 612, and the optical attenuation switch 62 is arranged on the mounting plate 611. The flange seat 612 and the mounting plate 611 are both n-shaped, and the cam 42 is located in the middle of the bottom of the flange seat 612 and the mounting plate 611, and the cam 42 is located directly below the optical attenuation switch 62.

[0050] In actual use, the optical attenuation switch 62 is fixedly installed by the mounting plate 611, and the duplex optical flange 63 is installed by the flange seat 612. At the same time, the flange seat 612 and the mounting plate 611 are both n-shaped, so that the cam 42 can be installed directly below the optical attenuation switch 62. Therefore, when the cam 42 rotates and swings, the optical path attenuation of the optical attenuation switch 62 changes, causing the optical attenuation switch 62 to emit an optical signal.

[0051] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, an interface for cable connection is relatively arranged on the lower cover assembly 13 in this embodiment.
