Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of explosion-proof switches, and more particularly to a push rod reset structure of an explosion-proof knob switch. Background Art

[0002] Explosion-proof switches are primarily used in machinery and equipment in manufacturing plants and system power supply applications where explosive gases or explosive dusts may exist, especially in external electrical equipment such as motors, pumps, and lighting equipment; in process control devices used in hazardous factories and plants; or in explosive environments with flammable gases, steam, mist gases, or combustible dusts.

[0003] The explosion-proof knob switch rotates the handle to drive the left and right push rods to move up and down repeatedly, pressing the sliding shaft inside the explosion-proof switch movement to move back and forth, thereby energizing and de-energizing the contacts inside the movement, thereby realizing control of the power state of the connected circuit.

[0004] However, the left push rod and the right push rod of the existing explosion-proof knob switch are directly set close to each other and share a return spring, so that when the left push rod and the right push rod move relative to each other, the friction between the two will prevent each other from moving, resulting in mutual interference; and the return spring will directly prevent the side from moving downward; causing the left push rod and the right push rod to tilt to one side, resulting in the left push rod and the right push rod not being able to return to their original position, or even causing a jam.

[0030] Refer to the attached Figures 1 to 7The utility model is further described in detail with an embodiment of a push rod reset structure of an explosion-proof knob switch.

[0031] A push rod reset structure for an explosion-proof rotary switch includes a switch housing 1, wherein two push rods 2 are provided in the switch housing 1 for sliding up and down, and a knob assembly 3 is provided on the upper end of the switch housing 1 for driving the push rods 2 to slide downward;

[0032] A pair of partitions 11 are provided on the inner side wall of the switch housing 1. The partitions 11 separate the two push rods 2 and are provided on both sides of the switch housing 1. The lower end surfaces of the two push rods 2 are provided with return springs 21.

[0033] The knob assembly 3 includes a knob body 31 and a pressing head 321. The knob body 31 drives the pressing head 321 to move back and forth between the two push rods 2, pressing the corresponding push rod 2 to slide downward and compress the return spring 21, while the other push rod 2 is reset under the drive of the corresponding return spring 21.

[0034] The two push rods 2 of the explosion-proof knob switch are separated on both sides by two partitions 11 of the switch housing 1, so that when the knob body 31 is rotated to drive the top rod 32 to push one push rod 2 to slide downward, the other push rod 2 slides upward under the drive of the return spring 21, that is, during the reverse sliding process of the two push rods 2, the partition 11 avoids mutual friction between the two push rods 2, and solves the interference problem during the sliding process of the two push rods 2; ensures that the push rod 2 sliding upward can be reset to its position and correctly control the power supply status of the equipment; in addition, a return spring 21 is separately provided at the lower end of the two push rods 2, that is, the return spring 21 operates independently in the process of driving the corresponding push rod 2 to slide upward, and does not affect the push rod 2 sliding downward, avoiding the occurrence of jamming; making the operation of the explosion-proof knob switch smoother and more labor-saving.

[0035] The lower end surface of the push rod 2 is provided with two return springs 21, wherein the two return springs 21 are respectively placed at the front and rear ends of the lower end surface of the push rod 2; two return springs 21 are set under each push rod 2 to ensure that the push rod 2 can slide upward and return to its position, and at the same time, the two return springs 21 are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the lower end surface of the push rod 2, so that the front and rear ends of the push rod 2 are subjected to balanced force to avoid tilting, so that the push rod 2 can slide vertically during the upward sliding process to avoid jamming.

[0036] The front and rear ends of the push rod 2 are both provided with card slots 22, and four insertion columns 12 are provided in the switch housing 1; the lower end of the reset spring 21 is inserted on the corresponding insertion column 12, and the upper end is placed in the corresponding card slot 22, so that the reset spring 21 is stably placed under the push rod 2, thereby improving the structural stability of the explosion-proof knob switch.

[0037] Two guide columns 13 are provided in the switch housing 1 at intervals, and a guide groove 23 adapted to the guide column 13 is provided on the push rod 2. The guide groove 23 is U-shaped. The push rod 2 slides up and down under the guidance of the guide column 13, so that the push rod 2 can slide vertically in the switch housing 1, thereby ensuring that the knob switch operates more smoothly and stably.

[0038] A pressing head 321 is provided on the outer side wall of the push rod 32, and a pressing surface 24 that cooperates with the pressing head 321 is provided on the inner side wall of the push rod 2; the pressing head 321 slides along the pressing surface 24, driving the push rod 2 to slide downward.

[0039] The lower end of the clamping head 321 is provided with a positioning groove 3211, and the upper end of the clamping surface 24 is provided with a positioning protrusion 25 that is adapted to the positioning groove 3211; the positioning groove 3211 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 25 to stabilize the push rod 2 in the pressed position, thereby avoiding the automatic switching state of the explosion-proof switch; the lower ends of the two adjacent clamping surfaces 24 are provided with a matching portion that is adapted to the positioning groove 3211, and when the clamping head 321 slides to the matching portion, the positioning groove 3211 cooperates with the two matching portions at the same time, and the two push rods 2 return to their positions at the same time under the action of the corresponding return springs 21, and return to the initial state.

[0040] The lower end of the switch housing 1 is mounted with an organic core 5 via a connector 4. An annular groove 14 is provided on the outer side wall of the lower end of the switch housing 1. An installation cavity adapted to the lower end of the switch housing 1 is provided on the upper end of the connector 4. At least two latching teeth 41 adapted to the annular groove 14 are provided on the side wall of the upper end of the connector 4.

[0041] When assembling the explosion-proof knob switch, the connector 4 is sleeved on the lower end of the switch housing 1, and the latch teeth 41 cooperate with the annular groove 14, so that the connector 4 is rotated and arranged on the lower end of the switch housing 1;

[0042] The movement 5 on the explosion-proof knob switch can be rotated relative to the switch housing 1, so that the direction of the movement 5 can be adjusted; the movement 5 on the explosion-proof knob switch is prevented from interfering with the installation of the equipment; when adjusting the direction of the movement 5, it is only necessary to rotate the connector 4 by hand, and the adjustment operation is convenient and simple; at the same time, the latch 41 will abut against the bottom wall of the annular groove 14, thereby positioning the movement 5.

[0043] Two top screw holes 42 are provided on the side wall of the upper end of the connector 4, wherein the two top screw holes 42 are arranged at intervals on the connector 4; wherein the top screw passes through the top screw hole 42 and rests against the outer wall of the switch housing 1 to fix the connector 4 on the switch housing 1; that is, after the installation is completed, the connector 4 can be further fixed by passing the top screw through the top screw hole 42 to limit the rotation of the connector 4 relative to the switch housing 1, so that the structural stability of the explosion-proof push button switch is better.
