[0002] The IP protection level is the waterproof level of IPX7 according to the current international and national mandatory standards GB4208-2008 / IEC60529-2013 "Degree of protection provided by enclosures (IP code)", which means that the waterproof level of the product is level 7. That is to say, when the product is placed in 1-meter-deep water and soaked for 30 minutes, the product can be used normally without being affected; the waterproof level of electronic measuring instruments reflects the instrument's ability to prevent moisture and dust. Especially in outdoor activities, it is inevitable to be in harsh environments with high humidity or a lot of dust and sand. The sealing and waterproof ability of the instrument is crucial for ensuring the safe operation and lifespan of the instrument;

[0003] At present, the waterproof level of some signal switches on the market is generally level 6, which cannot meet the requirements of operating in accumulated water. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof signal switch with good sealing effect and long service life.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is as follows: A waterproof signal switch has a base, an upper shell and a lower shell which are connected to each other. A sealing ring is provided between the base and the lower shell. A push rod is provided on the base. The push rod passes through the middle parts of the upper shell and the lower shell. A sealing leather sleeve is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push rod. A button is provided on the upper part of the push rod. A magnetic element is provided on one side of the lower part of the push rod. A PCB assembly is installed on the upper shell, and the magnetic element faces the PCB assembly.

[0006] In the above technical scheme, a PCB installation groove for fixing the PCB assembly is provided in the base. A wire outlet hole and a spring fixing column are provided at the bottom of the base. The main spring in the push rod is installed on the spring fixing column.

[0007] In the above technical scheme, sealant treatment is performed at the wire outlet hole. [[ID=2D]]

[0008] In the above technical scheme, a sealing ring groove for installing the sealing ring is provided circumferentially on the inner side of the lower shell.

[0009] In the above technical scheme, limiting protrusions are provided on both sides of the lower part of the push rod, and a limiting sliding rail is provided in the middle of the lower shell, and the limiting protrusions of the push rod are installed in the limiting sliding rail.

[0010] In the above technical solution, a waist-shaped protrusion is provided at the lower part of the button, a waist-shaped hole that mates with the waist-shaped protrusion is provided at the upper part of the push rod, a first leather sleeve fixing groove is provided in the circumferential direction of the waist-shaped protrusion, and the upper part of the sealing leather sleeve is installed in the first leather sleeve fixing groove.

[0011] In the above technical solution, a second leather sleeve fixing groove is provided in the circumferential direction of the upper housing, and the lower part of the sealing leather sleeve is installed in the first leather sleeve fixing groove.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the materials of the sealing leather sleeve and the sealing ring are rubber.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of the present utility model compared with traditional technical means are as follows: The present utility model uses a magnetic element in cooperation with a PCB circuit board to achieve switch control. The bipolar Hall element on the PCB board is triggered by a magnet and can output a high level or a low level according to requirements. Since conduction is not required through contact during the closing and opening process, the service life is relatively long. Structurally, the switch uses a sealing structure in multiple places, such as the contact plane between the sealing leather sleeve and the push rod; the contact surface between the sealing leather sleeve and the lower housing; the contact surfaces between the sealing ring and the base and the lower housing, and finally the potting of the wire outlet. In this way, the sealing effect of the entire signal switch is greatly improved, and the actual detection can meet the waterproof requirement of IPX7 level. Description of the Drawings
