Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reed displacement sensors, in particular to an easily debuggable displacement switch. Background Technique
[0002] A displacement switch, also known as a forming switch or a limit switch, can be installed on a relatively stationary object or a moving object. When the moving object approaches the stationary object, the internal contacts of the switch are disconnected or closed, so as to realize the displacement control or position indication of the moving part. With the development of modern industry, displacement switches are more and more widely used in the industrial field, mainly used to convert mechanical displacement into electrical signals, so as to effectively change the operating state of the motor and achieve the control of mechanical actions or program control. The limit switch is combined with other equipment to form a more complex and scientific automation equipment, which has important value for the development of industry. A reed has a simpler structure, smaller volume, higher speed and longer working life than a general mechanical switch; compared with an electronic switch, it also has the characteristics of strong anti-load impact ability and high working reliability.
[0003] At present, the conventional fixing method of the reed is to pour it into a shell with glue, and the reed is fixed after the glue solidifies. In order to ensure the firmness of the reed fixation, epoxy resin is generally used for pouring. Due to the large thermal expansion coefficient of the glue, after long-term use, the poured glue will deform, resulting in the displacement of the reed position or even cracks, causing the signaler to fail and affecting the reliability of the reed-type signaler. At the same time, when the reed solidifies in the glue, its own position will change relative to the sensor detection surface, resulting in the inability to accurately adjust the working point of the sensor. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the easily debuggable displacement switch provided by the utility model solves the problem that the existing reed-type signaler has the problem that when the reed solidifies in the glue, its own position changes relative to the sensor detection surface, resulting in the inability to accurately adjust the working point of the sensor.
[0005] In order to achieve the above utility model purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0006] An easily debuggable displacement switch is provided, which includes a housing, a reed assembly is adhesively connected inside the housing, at least one threaded through hole is provided on the outer wall of the housing, a debugging screw is threadedly connected in the threaded through hole, and one end of the debugging screw passes through the threaded through hole and is connected to the reed assembly.
[0007] The basic principle of the easily adjustable displacement switch in the present utility model is as follows: When manufacturing the easily adjustable displacement switch, first, the reed switch assembly is arranged inside the housing, and then the reed switch assembly is fixed by an adhesive. During the solidification process of the adhesive, the position of the reed switch assembly inside the housing can be adjusted by a debugging screw. Before the adhesive is cured, it is ensured that the position of the reed switch assembly after the position adjustment remains unchanged inside the housing. After the adhesive is cured, the reed switch assembly is completely fixed inside the housing. Finally, the debugging screw is removed, and the threaded through-hole is filled and cured with the adhesive to complete the manufacturing of the easily adjustable displacement switch. The reed switch assembly senses the magnetic field strength of the target permanent magnet (magnet steel). When the permanent magnet approaches the product test surface to reach the target distance range, the reed switch assembly switches from normally open to normally closed or from normally closed to normally open, and transmits a pulse signal to the superior system.
[0008] When manufacturing the easily adjustable displacement switch, before the adhesive is cured, the position of the reed switch assembly inside the housing can be adjusted in real time by the debugging screw, realizing precise debugging of the performance, and solving the problem that in the existing reed switch type signaler, the position of the reed switch relative to the sensor detection surface will change during the solidification in the glue liquid, resulting in the inability to precisely adjust the working point of the sensor.
[0009] Furthermore, the reed switch assembly is fixed inside the housing by a first adhesive.
[0010] Furthermore, as a specific setting method of the reed switch assembly, the reed switch assembly includes a bushing arranged inside the housing. The bushing is fixed inside the housing by a first adhesive, and a reed switch is fixed inside the bushing by a second adhesive. Conductors are welded to both ends of the reed switch. The free end of each conductor is located outside the housing. One end of the debugging screw passes through the threaded through-hole and is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bushing. Specifically, the reed switch is selected to have a single-pole double-throw structure, and the normally open or normally closed structure can be selected according to user requirements. Different specifications and sizes of reed switches can be selected according to the measured displacement distance, the operating temperature range, and the space size.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of each conductor is wrapped with a first heat shrinkable tube, and the first heat shrinkable tube includes the solder joints of the conductor and the reed switch. Using the first heat shrinkable tube can wrap the reed switch pins and solder joints, so that the pins do not contact the bushing and the housing to ensure the insulation performance of the product.
[0012] Furthermore, the free ends of the two conductors include a second heat shrinkable tube. The second heat shrinkable tube can wrap the two conductors into a bundle of conductors, and at the same time, it also plays a role in protecting the conductors.
[0013] Furthermore, the first adhesive is an epoxy resin adhesive. After curing, the epoxy resin adhesive can firmly fix the reed switch assembly in the housing, and its position will not change under high and low temperature environments and vibration environments outside. The epoxy resin adhesive has high adhesiveness, hardness, acid and alkali resistance, ensuring the adaptability of the product in different use environments. The cured adhesive has insulation properties.
[0014] The second adhesive is a silicone rubber adhesive. After curing, the silicone rubber adhesive can fix the reed switch in the bushing. After curing, the silicone rubber adhesive has a certain elasticity, so that the stress on the glass body of the reed switch in high and low temperature environments and vibration environments is small and will not be damaged. The cured silicone rubber adhesive has insulation properties.
[0015] Furthermore, the materials of the first heat shrinkable tube and the second heat shrinkable tube are both high-temperature resistant flexible polyolefin or polytetrafluoroethylene materials. The high-temperature resistant flexible polyolefin or polytetrafluoroethylene materials have characteristics such as softness, corrosion resistance, and insulation, and are suitable for this product.
[0016] Furthermore, the materials of the housing and the bushing are non-magnetic materials. Non-magnetic materials can be selected from materials such as aluminum alloy and plastic. The beneficial effects are as follows: The housing has a certain strength, which can protect the internal structure of the product from being damaged during normal use. It is non-magnetic and will not affect the accuracy of the internal reed switch in sensing the magnetic field. The adaptability of the product in different use environments can be ensured by surface treatment of the outer surface. The bushing has a certain strength, which can protect the reed switch inside the bushing from physical damage or performance changes due to the stress generated by the thermal expansion and contraction of the second adhesive during normal use. It is non-magnetic and will not affect the accuracy of the internal reed switch in sensing the magnetic field.
[0017] Furthermore, the cross-sections of the housing and the bushing are both rectangular structures, and there is a filling gap between the housing and the bushing, and the filling gap is greater than 0.5 mm. The rectangular cross-section of the housing makes the main body of the entire easy-to-adjust displacement switch a rectangular columnar structure, so as to ensure the installation and positioning of the displacement switch in the upper-level system and facilitate the opening of threaded through holes. The rectangular cross-section of the bushing makes the entire reed switch assembly a rectangular columnar structure, which is convenient for the fixation and adjustment of the reed switch assembly in the housing.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. For an easy-to-adjust displacement switch provided by this solution, during production, the position of the reed switch assembly in the housing can be adjusted in real time by adjusting the screw, realizing precise debugging of performance, and solving the problem that in the existing reed switch signal device, when the reed switch solidifies in the glue, its own position will change relative to the sensor detection surface, resulting in the inability to precisely adjust the working point of the sensor.
[0020] 2. An easily debuggable displacement switch provided by this solution adopts a double-layer potting structure. Silicone rubber is used for potting inside, reducing the damage to the vitreous body of the reed switch caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the colloid; epoxy resin is used for potting outside, ensuring the overall strength and environmental adaptability of the displacement switch.

After the adhesive is cured, the reed switch assembly 2 is completely fixed inside the housing 1. Finally, the adjustment screw is removed, and the threaded through hole 3 is filled and cured with an adhesive to complete the manufacture of the easily debuggable displacement switch. The reed switch assembly 2 senses the magnetic field magnitude of the target permanent magnet (magnet). When the permanent magnet approaches the product test surface to reach the target distance range, the reed switch assembly 2 switches from normally open to normally closed or from normally closed to normally open, and transmits a pulse signal to the upper-level system.
[0027] When the easy-to-adjust displacement switch is manufactured, when the adhesive is not cured, the position of the reed switch assembly 2 in the housing 1 can be adjusted in real time by adjusting the screw, realizing precise debugging of the performance, and solving the problem that in the existing reed switch 202 type signaler, when the reed switch 202 solidifies in the glue, its own position will change relative to the sensor detection surface, resulting in the inability to precisely adjust the working point of the sensor.

Different specifications and sizes of reed switches 202 can be selected according to the measured displacement distance, operating temperature range, and space size.
[0031] A first heat shrinkable tube 7 is wrapped around the outer wall of each lead 203. The first heat shrinkable tube 7 includes the solder joints of the lead 203 and the reed switch 202. Using the first heat shrinkable tube 7 can wrap the pins 204 and solder joints of the reed switch 202, so that the pins 204 do not contact the bushing 201 and the housing 1 to ensure the insulation performance of the product.
[0032] The free ends of the two wires 203 include a second heat shrinkable tube 8.
