Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electromechanical components, and in particular relates to an unlocking position indicating switch component. Background Art
[0002] With the development of aircraft equipment, the requirements for cabin door lock system equipment are gradually increasing. A travel switch is needed that can reliably contact under mechanical pressure for a long time and ensure reliable conversion of signals when rebounding.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN104299800 discloses a travel switch, in which the movable and static contacts are respectively a pin contact and a coaxially arranged socket contact. The movable contact is connected and engaged by reciprocating movement of the movable contact. This plug-in connection method utilizes a centring axial hole positioning method to ensure the coaxial movement of the pin contact relative to the socket contact. In addition, the inner hole of the socket contact engages with the pin via an annular inner rotation contact engagement structure, thereby increasing the contact area and making the contact between the movable and static contacts of the travel switch stable and reliable.
[0004] However, for hatch door lock systems, this component's function is to provide feedback indicating a locked position. Since the hatch door lock system relies solely on mechanical operation, when locked, the lock head, driven by the elastic potential energy of the tension spring, impacts the switch assembly's handle with a force of 5 m / s. Therefore, the switch assembly must maintain contact continuity and prevent flickering signals even under such high-impact conditions. Excessive impact can easily cause contact disconnection, resulting in a flickering signal, which fails to meet the requirements for a locked position feedback signal in certain hatch door lock systems.
