Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a tilt switch installation structure and an appliance. Background Art

[0002] Electrical appliances, such as desktop heaters, are generally equipped with a tipping switch, which can cut off the circuit of the appliance when it tips over, thereby avoiding potential risks.

[0003] However, in the related art, the tilt switch is generally fixed to the main body of the appliance by means of screws or other connection methods. However, this fixing method is not only inefficient in installation, but the connection between the tilt switch and the main body of the appliance is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, thereby affecting the normal function of the tilt switch and may even cause safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a tilt switch mounting structure and an electrical appliance to solve the problem in the related art that the fixing method of the tilt switch is easily loosened or displaced due to vibration or temperature changes, which easily affects the normal function of the tilt switch, and can improve the safety of the electrical appliance.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a tilt switch installation structure, comprising:

[0006] The electrical housing has a limiting hole formed on the bottom thereof;

[0007] The mounting piece is arranged in the electrical appliance housing and is used to be connected to the electrical appliance housing. The mounting piece is provided with a limiting structure, which includes a plurality of side walls. The plurality of side walls can enclose a limiting space and an assembly opening. The assembly opening can allow the dump switch to enter the limiting space. The plurality of side walls can be abutted against the dump switch. The telescopic piece of the dump switch can pass through the limiting hole to prevent the dump switch from leaving the limiting space.

[0008] Beneficial effect: During use of the tilting switch installation structure of the embodiment of the utility model, the tilting switch can first be placed into the limit space through the assembly opening, the limit structure is mounted on the tilting switch, and the tilting switch is limited by means of several side walls to ensure that the tilting switch moves relative to the limit structure through the assembly opening to leave the limit space.

[0009] Then the operator can press the telescopic part of the tipping switch with his hand and put the mounting part into the electrical appliance housing until the telescopic part of the tipping switch is aligned with the limit hole on the mounting part. The telescopic part can extend and insert into the limit hole through its own elastic restoring force. The cooperation between the limit hole and the telescopic part prevents the tipping switch from escaping from the limit space through the assembly port, thereby reliably limiting the tipping switch on the electrical appliance housing.

[0010] When the appliance is placed normally, the weight of the appliance can press the telescopic part of the tilt switch, thereby connecting the entire circuit of the appliance. When the appliance is tilted, the telescopic part of the tilt switch can pop out under the action of its own elastic restoring force and disconnect the entire circuit of the appliance.

[0011] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application limits the tilt switch by cooperating with the original limit hole on the electrical switch through the limit space. Even if the electrical appliance expands or contracts or shakes during use, the tilt switch will not become loose or displaced.

[0012] In addition, during the installation process of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application, the operator only needs to insert the tilt switch into the limit space and then install the mounting part into the electrical housing to complete the installation of the tilt switch, which greatly simplifies the installation steps of the tilt switch and shortens the installation time of the tilt switch.

[0013] In addition, the tilt switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application does not require the use of screws during the installation process, so there is no need to reserve space for the screwdriver to enter, thereby avoiding the impact of insufficient space for screwing on the assembly of the tilt switch.

[0014] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the problem that the fixing method of the tilt switch in the related art is easily loosened or displaced due to vibration or temperature changes, which easily affects the normal function of the tilt switch. It can improve the safety of the electrical appliance, simplify the installation process of the tilt switch, and avoid affecting the assembly of the tilt switch due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0015] In addition, the above-mentioned tilt switch installation structure has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is safe and reliable to use, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of side walls include a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, and a connecting wall connecting the top wall, the bottom wall, and the front wall, and the assembly opening is arranged opposite to the connecting wall.

[0017] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the top wall, bottom wall, front wall and connecting wall can form a semi-enclosed structure together with the body of the mounting member. The semi-enclosed structure can be mounted on the tilt switch and limit the five degrees of freedom of the tilt switch.

[0018] When the tipping switch is installed in the limiting structure through the assembly opening, the telescopic member of the tipping switch can face the limiting hole so that the telescopic member matches the limiting hole, thereby limiting the tipping switch.

[0019] In addition, when the limiting structure is provided, a limiting space can be formed on the mounting member without the thickness of the mounting member being set to be thicker, thereby making the structure of the electrical appliance more compact.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, an abutment surface is formed between the telescopic member and the electrical housing of the limiting hole, and the telescopic member can abut against the electrical housing through the abutment surface and press the body of the tilt switch tightly against the top wall of the limiting structure.

[0021] Beneficial effect: Through such a setting, the telescopic part cooperates with the limit hole but can prevent the dump switch from escaping through the assembly opening of the limit structure. It can also press the body of the dump switch tightly against the top wall of the limit structure, thereby improving the reliability of the limit structure on the dump switch and avoiding the loosening or displacement of the dump switch due to factors such as vibration or temperature changes.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, an avoidance groove is provided on the bottom wall of the limiting structure facing the limiting hole, and the avoidance groove is connected to the assembly opening, and the dump switch can pass through the assembly opening and the avoidance groove in sequence.

[0023] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the groove wall of the avoidance groove can also cooperate with the telescopic part of the tilting switch, thereby playing a certain limiting role on the tilting switch.

[0024] In addition, the provision of the avoidance groove allows the dimension of the limiting structure along the axial direction of the assembly opening to be set larger, thereby improving the limiting effect of the limiting structure on the tilt switch.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, an escape opening is formed on the connecting wall of the limiting structure, and the escape opening is used for allowing the conductive sheet on one side of the tilting switch to pass through.

[0026] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the avoidance opening can allow the conductive sheet to pass through, and the conductive sheet can be limited to a certain extent by means of the side wall of the avoidance opening.

[0027] The tilt switch can be electrically connected to the electronic components inside the appliance through the conductive sheet. Therefore, the tilt switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application can reliably limit the tilt switch without affecting the electrical connection between the tilt switch and the electronic components inside the appliance.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the dump switch mounting structure further includes:

[0029] The guide structure is provided between the mounting piece and the electrical housing. The mounting piece is slidably connected to the electrical housing through the guide structure. The mounting piece has a locking position relative to the guide structure. When the mounting piece is in the locking position, the telescopic piece of the tilting switch can pass through the limit hole.

[0030] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the guide structure can constrain the movement path of the mounting member, ensuring that the mounting member can accurately move to the locking position and reliably install the tilt switch in the electrical housing.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a mounting groove is formed on the electrical appliance housing, and the guide structure extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove.

[0032] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, when the operator places the mounting piece into the mounting groove along the guide structure, the telescopic piece of the tipping switch can be extended and limit the tipping switch on the electrical housing, and at the same time the mounting piece can be installed in the mounting groove.

[0033] Therefore, the operator can simultaneously complete the operation of installing the mounting member in the mounting groove and the operation of confining the tilt switch in the electrical appliance housing, thereby further simplifying the installation process of the electrical appliance.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure includes:

[0035] The first guide wall and the second guide wall are spaced apart along the axial direction of the assembly opening. The telescopic member of the tilting switch can be arranged between the first guide wall and the second guide wall and is slidably connected to the first guide wall and the second guide wall.

[0036] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the telescopic part of the tilting switch can not only be used to cooperate with the original limiting hole on the electrical housing to limit the telescopic part, but can also be used to slide with the first guide wall and the second guide wall to guide the mounting part. The telescopic part has various functions, thereby reducing the number of parts required for the tilting switch mounting structure and making the structure of the tilting switch mounting structure more compact.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member is a heating element bracket.

[0038] Beneficial effect: Through such a setting, the tilt switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application can use the original heating element bracket in the desktop heater as a mounting part to complete the installation operation of the tilt switch. The heating element bracket has various functions and can reduce the number of parts required for the tilt switch mounting structure, so that the structure of the tilt switch mounting structure is more compact, which helps to reduce the consumption of materials and labor costs of the tilt switch mounting structure.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure is greater than or equal to 280 degrees Celsius.

[0040] Beneficial effect: When the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure is within the above range, it can ensure that the limiting structure can limit the tilt switch reliably, avoid the limiting structure being deformed by the influence of the external environment, and ensure that the limiting structure can adapt to the mechanical and thermal stresses in various working environments.

[0060] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a tilt switch mounting structure is provided, comprising an electrical housing 1 and a mounting member 2. A limiting hole 101 is formed at the bottom of the electrical housing 1. The mounting member 2 is disposed in the electrical housing 1 and is used to connect with the electrical housing 1. A limiting structure 201 is provided on the mounting member 2. The limiting structure 201 comprises a plurality of side walls, which can enclose a limiting space and an assembly opening 2011. The assembly opening 2011 can allow the tilt switch 4 to enter the limiting space. The plurality of side walls can abut against the tilt switch 4. The telescopic member 401 of the tilt switch 4 can pass through the limiting hole 101 to prevent the tilt switch 4 from leaving the limiting space.

[0063] During use of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the tilt switch 4 can first be placed into the limit space through the assembly opening 2011, and the limiting structure 201 is mounted on the tilt switch 4, and the tilt switch 4 is limited by means of several side walls to ensure that the tilt switch 4 moves relative to the limiting structure 201 through the assembly opening 2011 to exit the limit space.

[0064] Then the operator can press the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 with his hand and place the mounting part 2 into the electrical housing 1 until the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 is aligned with the limiting hole 101 on the mounting part 2. The telescopic part 401 can extend and insert into the limiting hole 101 through its own elastic restoring force. Thus, with the help of the cooperation between the limiting hole 101 and the telescopic part 401, the tipping switch 4 is prevented from escaping from the limiting space through the assembly port 2011, thereby reliably limiting the tipping switch 4 on the electrical housing 1.

[0065] When the appliance 100 is placed normally, the weight of the appliance 100 can press the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4, thereby connecting the entire circuit of the appliance 100. When the appliance 100 is tipped over, the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can pop out under the action of its own elastic restoring force and cut off the entire circuit of the appliance 100.

[0066] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application limits the tilt switch 4 by cooperating with the original limiting hole 101 on the switch of the electrical appliance 100 through the limiting space. Even if the electrical appliance 100 expands or contracts or shakes during use, the tilt switch 4 will not become loose or displaced.

[0067] In addition, during the installation process of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application, the operator only needs to insert the tilt switch 4 into the limit space and then install the mounting part 2 into the electrical housing 1 to complete the installation of the tilt switch 4, which greatly simplifies the installation steps of the tilt switch 4 and shortens the installation time of the tilt switch 4.

[0068] In addition, the tilt switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application does not require the use of screws during the installation process, so there is no need to reserve space for the screwdriver to enter, thereby avoiding the impact of insufficient space for screwing on the assembly of the tilt switch 4.

[0069] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the problem in the related art that the fixing method of the tilt switch 4 is easily loosened or displaced due to vibration or temperature changes, which easily affects the normal function of the tilt switch 4. It can improve the safety of the electrical appliance 100, simplify the installation process of the tilt switch 4, and avoid affecting the assembly of the tilt switch 4 due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0070] In addition, the above-mentioned tilt switch installation structure has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is safe and reliable to use, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0071] In one embodiment, the limiting space is provided at a position of the mounting member 2 close to the limiting hole 101 .

[0072] By such arrangement, the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 in the limiting space can be easily inserted into the limiting hole 101 on the electrical appliance housing 1 .

[0073] In one embodiment, the side walls include a top wall 2015 , a bottom wall 2016 , a front wall 2017 and a connecting wall 2018 connecting the top wall 2015 , the bottom wall 2016 and the front wall 2017 , and the assembly opening 2011 is arranged opposite to the connecting wall 2018 .

[0074] Through such an arrangement, the top wall 2015, the bottom wall 2016, the front wall 2017 and the connecting wall 2018 can together with the main body of the mounting member 2 form a semi-enclosed structure, which can be mounted on the tilt switch 4 and limit the five degrees of freedom of the tilt switch 4.

[0075] When the tilt switch 4 is installed in the limiting structure 201 through the assembly opening 2011 , the telescopic member 401 of the tilt switch 4 can face the limiting hole 101 so that the telescopic member 401 cooperates with the limiting hole 101 , thereby limiting the tilt switch 4 .

[0076] In addition, when the limiting structure 201 is provided, a limiting space can be formed on the mounting member 2 without having to set the thickness of the mounting member 2 to be thicker, thereby making the structure of the electrical appliance 100 more compact.

[0077] As a convertible embodiment, the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting space can also be optionally set toward the front side of the electrical appliance 100, as long as it can be ensured that an angle is formed between the axial direction of the assembly opening and the axial direction of the limiting hole 101, and the telescopic part 401 can cooperate with the limiting hole 101, thereby preventing the tipping switch 4 from escaping from the limiting space.

[0078] As another alternative embodiment, the limiting structure 201 may also be a limiting groove formed concavely on the mounting member 2 , and the notch of the limiting groove is the assembly opening 2011 .

[0079] In one embodiment, an abutment surface is formed between the telescopic member 401 and the electrical appliance housing 1 in the limiting hole 101. The telescopic member 401 can abut against the electrical appliance housing 1 through the abutment surface and press the body of the tilt switch 4 against the top wall 2015 of the limiting structure 201. Through this arrangement, the telescopic member 401 cooperates with the limiting hole 101 but can prevent the tilt switch 4 from escaping through the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201. It can also press the body of the tilt switch 4 against the top wall 2015 of the limiting structure 201, thereby improving the reliability of the limiting structure 201 in limiting the tilt switch 4 and preventing the tilt switch 4 from loosening or shifting due to factors such as vibration or temperature changes.

[0080] In one embodiment, the telescopic member 401 includes at least two sections which are sequentially sleeved in a direction away from the main body of the tilt switch 4 and whose outer diameters gradually decrease, and an abutting surface is formed between the two adjacent sections.

[0081] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201 is arranged toward one side of the electrical appliance 100 .

[0082] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib 2014 is connected between at least one side wall of the limiting structure 201 along the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 and the mounting member 2 .

[0083] In one embodiment, the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 and the axial direction of the limiting hole 101 are perpendicular to each other.

[0084] As a variable implementation, the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 may also be selected to form an acute angle or an obtuse angle with the axial direction of the limiting hole 101 .

[0085] In one embodiment, an avoidance groove 2012 is provided on the bottom wall 2016 of the limiting structure 201 , and the avoidance groove 2012 is connected to the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201 , and the tipping switch 4 can pass through the assembly opening 2011 and the avoidance groove 2012 in sequence.

[0086] By such arrangement, the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 can also cooperate with the telescopic member 401 of the tilting switch 4, thereby playing a certain limiting role on the tilting switch 4.

[0087] In addition, the setting of the avoidance groove 2012 makes it unnecessary to set the size of the limiting structure 201 along the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 to be smaller to allow the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 to pass through, allowing the size of the limiting structure 201 to be set larger to enhance the limiting effect of the limiting structure 201 on the tipping switch 4.

[0088] The reinforcing ribs 2014 can enhance the structural strength of the limiting structure 201 , thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the limiting structure 201 under the influence of the external environment, and thereby improving the reliability of the limiting of the tilt switch 4 by the tilt switch mounting structure.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing rib 2014 is formed between the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 and the mounting member 2 , and the reinforcing rib 2014 has an arc transition.

[0090] Through such a setting, the reinforcing rib 2014 can not only be used to improve the structural strength of the limiting structure 201, but also can be used to cooperate with the outer periphery of the telescopic part 401, thereby increasing the contact area between the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 and the outer periphery of the telescopic part 401, and avoiding the telescopic part 401 from being damaged during the installation of the tipping switch 4 on the limiting structure 201.

[0091] As a convertible implementation, the avoidance groove 2012 is not provided on the limiting structure 201 , and the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 directly abuts against the side wall of the limiting structure 201 facing the limiting hole 101 .

[0092] In one embodiment, an escape opening 2013 is formed on the connecting wall 2018 of the limiting structure 201 , and the escape opening 2013 is used for allowing the conductive sheet 402 on one side of the tilting switch 4 to pass through.

[0093] With such a configuration, the avoidance opening 2013 can allow the conductive sheet 402 to pass through, and the conductive sheet 402 can be limited to a certain extent by means of the side wall of the avoidance opening 2013 .

[0094] The tipping switch 4 can be electrically connected to the electronic components inside the appliance 100 through the conductive sheet 402. Therefore, the tipping switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application can reliably limit the tipping switch 4 without affecting the electrical connection between the tipping switch 4 and the electronic components inside the appliance 100.

[0095] For example, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the electrical appliance 100 may be a desktop fan heater, and the tilt switch 4 may be electrically connected to electronic devices such as a heater inside the desktop fan heater via the conductive sheet 402 .

[0096] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a heater is provided on the side of the limiting structure 201 away from the assembly opening 2011, and the conductive sheets 402 are arranged in pairs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the tipping switch 4. One conductive sheet 402 can pass through the avoidance opening 2013 and be connected to the heater through a wire, and the other conductive sheet 402 can be located outside the limiting structure 201 and be electrically connected to the electric heater through another wire.

[0097] In one embodiment, the dump switch mounting structure further includes a guide structure 3 .

[0098] The guide structure 3 is provided between the mounting member 2 and the electrical appliance housing 1. The mounting member 2 is slidably connected to the electrical appliance housing 1 via the guide structure 3. The mounting member 2 has a locked position relative to the guide structure 3. When the mounting member 2 is in the locked position, the telescopic member 401 of the tilt switch 4 can pass through the limit hole 101. The fixing member can fix the mounting member 2 to the electrical appliance housing 1 when the mounting member 2 is in the locked position.

[0099] By such arrangement, the guide structure 3 can constrain the movement path of the mounting member 2 , ensuring that the mounting member 2 can accurately move to the locking position and reliably install the tilt switch 4 in the electrical appliance housing 1 .

[0100] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 102 is formed on the electrical appliance housing 1 , and the guide structure 3 extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove 102 .

[0101] Through such a setting, when the operator places the mounting member 2 into the mounting groove 102 along the guide structure 3, the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can be extended and limit the tipping switch 4 on the electrical housing 1, and the mounting member 2 can be installed in the mounting groove 102 at the same time.

[0102] Therefore, the operator can simultaneously complete the operation of installing the mounting member 2 in the mounting groove 102 and the operation of confining the tilt switch 4 in the electrical appliance housing 1, thereby further simplifying the installation process of the electrical appliance 100.

[0103] As a variable embodiment, the extension direction of the guide structure 3 forms an angle with the depth direction of the mounting groove 102. During installation, the operator can insert the mounting member 2 into the mounting groove 102, and then move the mounting member 2 along the guide structure 3 until the mounting member 2 is switched to the locked position, and the telescopic member 401 of the tilt switch 4 extends and inserts into the limit hole 101.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member 2 is connected to the electrical appliance housing 1 by riveting, clamping or bolting.

[0105] As an alternative embodiment, the mounting member 2 can also be fixed to the electrical appliance housing 1 through the cooperation of the guide structure 3 and the limiting hole 101. The guide structure 3 first limits the mounting member 2 within the extension range of the guide structure 3, and then the telescopic member 401 cooperates with the limiting hole 101 to prevent the mounting member 2 from sliding along the guide structure 3, thereby completing the positioning of the mounting member 2.

[0106] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure 3 includes a first guide wall 301 and a second guide wall 302, which are spaced apart along the depth direction of the avoidance groove 2012. The telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 can be arranged between the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302, and is slidably connected to the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302.

[0107] Through such an arrangement, the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 can not only be used to cooperate with the original limiting hole 101 on the electrical housing 1, thereby limiting the telescopic part 401, but can also be used to slide with the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302, thereby guiding the mounting part 2. The telescopic part 401 has various functions, thereby reducing the number of parts required for the tipping switch mounting structure, making the structure of the tipping switch mounting structure more compact.

[0108] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0109] As a convertible embodiment, the guide structure 3 may also be a guide groove formed on the side wall of the electrical appliance housing 1 , and the telescopic member 401 of the tilting switch 4 is disposed in the guide groove.

[0110] As another alternative embodiment, the guide structure 3 may also optionally include a guide rail provided on the mounting member 2 .

[0111] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member 2 is a heating member bracket, that is, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor bracket, which is a device that uses the temperature-dependent resistance variation characteristic of a PTC material to achieve heating control.

[0112] Through such an arrangement, the tilt switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application can use the original heating element bracket in the desktop heater as the mounting part 2 to complete the installation operation of the tilt switch 4. The heating element bracket has various functions and can reduce the number of parts required for the tilt switch mounting structure, so that the structure of the tilt switch mounting structure is more compact, which helps to reduce the consumption of materials and labor costs of the tilt switch mounting structure.

[0113] As a convertible embodiment, the mounting member 2 can also be optionally provided independently.

[0114] As another alternative embodiment, when the electrical appliance 100 is selected as an electrical appliance 100 other than a desktop heater, the mounting member 2 can also be selected as other components fixedly installed in the electrical appliance 100 and provided at the bottom of the electrical appliance 100 .

[0115] In an optional embodiment, the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure 201 is greater than or equal to 280 degrees Celsius.
