[0033] Principle of reed switch 3002: When there is an external magnetic field approaching, NO reed 30025 and COM reed 30024 are magnetized and attract each other, COM reed 30024 and NO reed 30025 are connected, disconnected from NC reed 30022, and output electrical signals through pins; when there is no external magnetic field, COM reed 30024 and NC reed 30022 are connected, disconnected from NO reed 30025, and output electrical signals through pins; according to the principle that the same poles of magnets repel each other and the opposite poles attract each other, and the size of the magnetic force, the switch action is triggered when the target sensing object 25 reaches the sensing point, and an electrical signal is output. There is no mechanical contact between the sensing object and the switch, and the principle that the same poles of magnets repel each other and the opposite poles attract each other is used to realize the inductive switch action without power supply and extra energy loss.
