Description

Technical Field

[0002] Most of the existing mechanical timer technologies are a timer controlling a group of terminal contact opening and closing conduction devices, which can be applied to various small household appliances such as microwave ovens, electric ovens, and air fryers. Because a general oven has four upper and lower heating tubes, according to the different food requirements during use, some food ingredients need to control not only the length of the conduction time requirements but also the upper or lower fire, half fire or full fire heating during processing. A timer controlling a group of terminal contact opening and closing conduction devices cannot meet the above requirements, and an additional selection switch is required to meet the firepower selection function.

When the mainspring on the power mechanism is naturally released counterclockwise, the timing wheel mechanism and the central spindle rotate together. When the set time is up, the side timing card arm falls from the outer edge of the timing wheel into the timing wheel groove, and the elastic terminal fixed on the base automatically pops up, so that the moving contact on the elastic terminal and the static contact on the fixed terminal on the base are automatically disconnected, thereby achieving the power-off function. The technical deficiency is that the existing single-conduction timer has only one set of timing wheel mechanisms, and it is impossible to realize the function of controlling multiple-stage timing on and off power by one timer switch.

[0029] The iron timing card 9 is Y-shaped, with the rear end of one fork fixed on the first bakelite timing card 7, the front end cooperates with the timing wheel 25 and the timing disk 24, and the other end is rotatably arranged between the large splint 10 of the timer frame and the small splint 21 of the timer frame.

[0030] The rim arc of the timing wheel 25 is 0° to 270°

[0031] In this embodiment, the wheel edge arc of the timing wheel 25 is 270°, and the wheel edge arc of one cam of the multi-conduction bakelite cam 23 is 225° and the wheel edge arc of the other cam is 180°.

[0032] When the mainspring 11 is wound up, the timing disk 24 assists the iron timing card 9 connected to the first bakelite timing card 7 to crawl out of the groove of the timing disk 24 and the timing wheel 25 to buffer the stuck transition, and does not affect the iron timing card 9 connected to the first bakelite timing card 7 to quickly fall into the groove of the timing wheel 25 when the mainspring 11 is wound up.

[0033] During the working process of the first passage, when the power mechanism winds up the mainspring 11 clockwise, the multi-conducting bakelite cam 23, the timing wheel 25 and the main shaft 14 rotate together by about 45°, and the iron timing card 9 on the first bakelite timing card 7 climbs out of the groove of the timing wheel 25 to the outer wheel edge of the timing wheel 25, and the first bakelite timing card 7 presses down the corresponding movable end spring clip 5 fixed on the base 3, so that the moving contact on the movable terminal on the movable end spring clip 5 and the static contact on the fixed terminal 4 on the base 3 are closed and connected, achieving the first power-on function.

[0034] During the working process of the second path, when the power mechanism continues to wind up the mainspring 11 clockwise, the multi-conducting bakelite cam 23, the timing wheel 25 and the main shaft 14 rotate together by about 90°, and the second bakelite timing card 6 slides from the small radius wheel edge of the corresponding multi-conducting bakelite cam to the large radius wheel edge, and the second bakelite timing card 6 presses down the corresponding movable end spring clip 5 fixed on the base 3, so that the moving contact on the movable terminal on the movable end spring clip 5 and the static contact on the fixed terminal 4 on the base 3 are closed and connected, thereby achieving the second stage of power-on function.

[0035] During the working process of the third path, when the power mechanism continues to wind up the mainspring 11 clockwise, the multi-conducting bakelite cam 23, the timing wheel 25 and the main shaft 14 rotate together by about 135°, and another second bakelite timing card 6 slides from the corresponding multi-conducting bakelite cam small radius wheel edge to the large radius wheel edge, and the second bakelite timing card 6 presses down the corresponding movable end spring clip 5 fixed on the base 3, so that the moving contact on the movable terminal on the movable end spring clip 5 and the static contact on the fixed terminal 4 on the base 3 are closed and connected, thereby achieving the third stage of power-on function.

[0036] When the mainspring 11 on the power mechanism is naturally released counterclockwise, the multi-conducting bakelite cam 23, the timing wheel 25 and the main shaft 14 rotate together. When the set time is up, the iron timing card 9 falls back from the outer wheel edge of the timing wheel 25 into the groove of the timing wheel 25, and the second bakelite timing card 6 returns from the large-radius wheel edge of the corresponding multi-conducting bakelite cam to the small-radius wheel edge. The iron timing card 9 drives the first bakelite timing card 7 to slide upward, thereby driving the brake spring 8 on the first bakelite timing card 7 to contact the balance wheel 19, and the movable end spring clip 5 fixed on the base 3 automatically pops up one after another, so that the movable terminal on the movable end spring clip 5 and the fixed terminal 4 on the base 3 are automatically disconnected one after another, thereby achieving the power-off function at different times.

[0037] The main shaft 14 can also be rotated 45° counterclockwise at the position of the iron timing card 9 in the groove of the timing wheel 25 to realize the three-stage switch being energized for a long time at irregular intervals.

[0038] For example, the power-on time of the three-stage switch is 30 minutes for the first stage switch, 25 minutes for the second stage switch, and 20 minutes for the third stage switch.

[0039] The utility model adopts the above structure to achieve the following beneficial effects: the utility model provides a multi-conduction timer switch, which controls the movement of the bakelite timing card through multiple cams and timing wheels with different wheel edges, drives the movable end spring piece to approach or move away from the fixed terminal, and can switch between multiple terminals. Correspondingly, the power mechanism can output in a variety of different circuits to meet the user's different needs for timing length and power on and off functions.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
