[0028] The specific working principle of this utility model:

[0029] In practical applications, the main purpose of this switch is to limit the number of revolutions of the rotating body. A certain stroke position triggers a signal for the control circuit to judge the working status of the rotating body and make action feedback.

[0030] The specific contents are as follows:

[0031] 1. Cam limit switch 3: There are four sets of contacts inside. This part converts the mechanical signal transmitted by the main shaft rotation into an electrical signal.

[0032] 2. Flameproof wiring chamber 5: used for wiring external cables and cam limit switch 3, and plays a flameproof role.

[0033] 3. Housing 7: The cam limit switch 3 is installed therein and a flameproof joint surface is provided to play a flameproof role.

[0034] 4. Cable entry sealing sleeve 8: This part is mainly used to introduce external cables into the wiring cavity.

[0035] 5. Flameproof bearing seat 14: This part is used to ensure that the cam main shaft 17 and the flameproof sleeve 16 are concentric and the transmission is smooth.

[0036] 6. Flameproof sleeve 16: This part is connected to the cam main shaft 17 and is used for cam limit transmission. It is also provided with a flameproof joint surface to play a flameproof role.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] This device is installed on a reel or other rotating body, and the shell 7 is fixed. A shell cover 1 is provided on the shell 7. A cam limit switch 3 is arranged inside the shell 7. The flameproof sleeve 16 is connected to the main shaft of the rotating body (it can be connected by a coupling, a sprocket, a pulley, etc.). When the rotating body rotates, the flameproof sleeve 16 drives the cam main shaft 17 to rotate synchronously.

[0039] When the reel rotates to retract or unreel, the cam main shaft 17 rotates, driving the cam in the cam limit switch 3 to rotate slowly. When the cam rotates to a certain angle, the micro switch is triggered to generate an electrical signal.

[0040] There are four groups of cams in the cam limit switch 3. The angle of each cam is pre-adjusted, and a signal can be generated when the reel (or rotary body) runs to four different positions, and the four positions of the same reel (or rotary body) can be limited.

[0041] Examples:

[0042] Some models of our company's MA series hose reels have already used this travel limit switch.

[0043] Travel limit switch parameters:

[0044] Rated voltage: 36V

[0045] Rated current: 10A

[0046] Number of cams: four groups

[0047] Power source: shared power source of the rotating body.
