Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of micro switches, in particular to a housing with an integrated flange and a buckle and a micro switch using the housing. Background Art

[0002] A microswitch, also known as a sensitive switch, features a small contact gap and a snap-action mechanism. It's a contact mechanism that can switch with a specified travel and force. Its operating principle is that an external mechanical force acts on a reed through a transmission element, such as a pin, button, lever, or roller. When the reed reaches a critical displacement point, a momentary action occurs, rapidly connecting or disconnecting the moving contact at the end of the reed with the fixed contact. There are many different types of microswitches available, including push-button, reed roller, lever roller, short arm, and long arm, depending on the type of pressure accessories used.

[0003] Currently, micro switches are widely used in control devices across various industries, including machinery, electronics, and medical. Market research indicates that, in addition to high-tech military applications such as aerospace, weaponry, and electronic communications equipment, the civilian electrical sector is also placing higher demands on micro switches. These micro switches are no longer limited to single-unit switching functions; the market is demanding higher standards for miniaturization, high density, modularity, and lightweighting. However, domestic research and development (R&D) and production of micro switches remain fragmented and disorganized, resulting in low product performance.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN105118710A discloses an integrated micro switch with a built-in resistor, which includes a switch housing and a button arranged on the switch housing. A base is provided in the switch housing, and a common terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal for connecting to an external circuit are installed on the base. The common terminal is electrically connected to a first contact, and the first terminal and the second terminal are respectively electrically connected to a second contact. The common terminal is connected to the first terminal and / or the second terminal through one or more resistors. A switch device for switching the first contact and the second contact on or off is provided between the first contact and the second contact. The button is connected to the base through a spring or a spring. The switch device is installed on the button and forms a linkage with the button.

[0005] However, the various micro switches disclosed in the prior art still suffer from technical issues such as complex structures and insufficient protective performance. Specifically, commonly used methods rely on mounting holes, mounting posts, flanges, or external fixing mechanisms for fixation, and subsequent assembly requires the installation of additional housings. This installation approach is inconvenient and can easily subject the outer shell to stress during installation, causing the switch body to be squeezed and deformed internally, which can even lead to switch failure. Furthermore, existing technical solutions require the installation of additional housings during subsequent assembly into the finished product, impacting efficiency and introducing assembly errors, which can reduce the performance parameters of the finished switch.

[0006] Furthermore, the increasing application of micro switches in fields such as industrial automation, electronic communications, the automotive industry, home appliances, and aerospace has also put forward new requirements for the overall mechanical performance of micro switches. For example, in order to make them suitable for more demanding environments, such as those with high humidity, dust, or vibration, the micro switch needs to have a simpler and more reliable structure. However, the micro switch structures disclosed in the prior art are all assembled in separate parts, and the assembled structure lacks the necessary dustproof and waterproof properties. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a housing with an integrated flange and a snap-on buckle based on the technical problems raised by the background technology and the technical problems of how to improve the assembly reliability, assembly convenience and protection performance of the micro switch.

[0009] Furthermore, the end cover structure is provided with an end cover body, a button penetration portion, a closed connection groove and a spring clip clamping groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the end cover body is arranged on the flange structure, the button penetration portion is penetrated in the end cover body, and the button penetration portion is communicated with the accommodating cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the buckle structures is provided with a clamping slot and an elastic foot structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the slot is arranged on a side edge of the flange structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic foot structure is arranged adjacent to the slot, and the elastic foot structure is connected to the side surface of the flange structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the flange structure has a flange body and a connecting slot.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting slot is provided at the bottom of the flange body.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting slots are respectively connected to the socket body and the flange body.

The flange structure, the socket body, the base structure, the plurality of snap structures, and the end cover structure are integrally formed. Thus, a housing structure with better protective performance can be obtained, which reduces the connection gaps between components and, in turn, can provide dustproof, waterproof, and other functions. Moreover, the aforementioned structure allows the micro switch to be directly installed and positioned using the lower surface of the flange structure and the snap structure, saving the time and cost of commonly used screws or external fixing mechanisms. The integrated design also eliminates the need for additional housings, saving the time and labor cost of assembling other housings. It can also reduce assembly errors and improve the relevant parameters of the switch. Therefore, the utility model's integrated flange with snap-on housing solves the technical problem of how to improve the assembly reliability, assembly convenience, and protective performance of the micro switch.
