Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical switch supporting equipment, and particularly relates to a tool for installing a pull spring of an electrical switch. Background Art

[0002] Electrical switches play a crucial role in electrical circuits and are used to control the on-off of circuits, thereby achieving the control of electrical equipment. The moving contact return spring inside the electrical switch is also called the reset spring. When the spring is subjected to an external force, it will deform and store potential energy; when the external force disappears, the spring will release the stored potential energy and return to its original shape. In an electrical switch, this process of deformation and recovery is used to achieve the automatic reset function of the moving contact. The moving contact return spring improves the reliability and service life of the switch through functions such as automatic reset, maintaining contact pressure, reducing arc generation, absorbing shock, and compensating for thermal expansion.

[0003] Currently, the installation of the moving contact return spring of electrical switches mostly uses hook pulling for installation. This method can scratch the spring and cause damage, shorten the service life of the pull spring and pose a safety hazard. During the stretching process, the spring is extremely easy to pop out and hurt people, and this installation method is relatively laborious and not convenient for operators to install. Summary of the Invention

The hook parts at both ends of the pull spring are respectively hung on the moving limiting member and the fixed limiting member.

[0007] Further, the gear is a semi-tooth surface gear, the driving member is a force-applying rod, the teeth of the semi-tooth surface gear are arranged at the lower end part of the gear, and the force-applying rod is arranged at the upper end part of the gear.

[0008] Further, a hand-held rod is arranged on the upper end surface of the moving seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable limiting member and the fixed limiting member have the same structure, and both include two limiting columns arranged side by side. A gap for limiting the tension spring is formed between the two limiting columns.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower end surface of the movable limiting member is higher than the lower end surface of the fixed limiting member, forming a height difference. This structure can not only adapt to the structural configuration of the installation position, but also meet the requirements of different installation depths and adapt to the installation needs of various products.

[0011] Advantages and technical effects of the present utility model: Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the problems existing in the prior art that the tension spring is scratched and injured during installation and the installation is laborious are solved. Through the gear, rack, base, movable seat and force - adding rod, the tension spring is pulled and stretched until it is installed in place, accurately installing the spring, effectively avoiding the problems of over - stretching the spring, scratching the spring and the spring coming out and injuring people; adopting this structure makes the overall structure more compact, reduces the axial dimension, and is convenient for the operator to carry and use.
