[0017] 3. The internal pressure of the expansion bag is detected by the set pressure sensor, and when the internal pressure of the expansion bag is too low to support the rotating pressure plate, the staff is reminded to inflate it in time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0028] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of an anti-collision limit switch structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the anti-collision limit switch structure of this embodiment, a trigger component 101 is rotatably connected to the limit switch body 100, a reset spring 103 is provided between the limit switch body 100 and the trigger component 101, and the upper end of the trigger component 101 is rotatably connected to the scroll wheel 102. In this embodiment, the mechanical moving component contacts the scroll wheel 102 to rotate the trigger component 101 and compress the reset spring 103, thereby enabling the contacts of the limit switch body 100 to move. The provision of the scroll wheel 102 can reduce friction when the mechanical moving components contact, thereby extending the service life of the limit switch body 100.
[0030] like Figure 2As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the outer wall structure of the three-side frame and the mounting back plate installed on the limit switch in this embodiment. The outer wall of the limit switch body 100 is provided with a mounting back plate 201, and the mounting back plate 201 is fixedly connected with a plug bolt 202 passing through the limit switch body 100. The outer wall of the limit switch body 100 is provided with a three-side frame 200. The three-side frame 200 and the mounting back plate 201 wrap the outer wall of the limit switch body 100. The outer wall of the three-side frame 200 is provided with an assembly waist hole 213. The plug bolt 202 passes through the assembly waist hole 213 and is fixed using a fixing nut 203. In this embodiment, the three-side frame 200 and the mounting back plate 201 fix the limit switch body 100 inside by tightening the fixing nut 203 and the plug bolt 202, so that the limit switch body 100 can be protected when the limit switch body 100 is hit, thereby increasing the service life of the limit switch body 100.
[0031] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned three-side frame 200, mounting back plate 201, plug-in bolts 202 and fixing nuts 203 are the anti-collision components in this embodiment. The anti-collision components include but are not limited to the three-side frame 200, mounting back plate 201, plug-in bolts 202 and fixing nuts 203. As long as the components can wrap the outside of the limit switch body 100, they can be applied to this embodiment.
[0032] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a first sliding groove 204 is provided at the upper end of the three-sided frame 200, and a micro motor 212 is embedded in one side of the inner part of the first sliding groove 204 and is detachably connected. The rotating end of the micro motor 212 is detachably connected to the adjusting screw 211, and the rotating end of the adjusting screw 211 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove 204. An L-shaped sliding plate 205 is slidably connected to the interior of the first sliding groove 204, and the L-shaped sliding plate 205 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 211. The horizontal side of the L-shaped sliding plate 205 fits the upper end of the limit switch body 100, and the horizontal side of the L-shaped sliding plate 205 is fixedly connected to a triangular piece 206. The inclined surface of the triangular piece 206 is set toward the trigger component 101, and the interior of the triangular piece 206 is hollow and hollow. The upper end of the triangular member 206 passes through, and the hollow part of the hypotenuse near the bottom is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 209, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 209 is fixedly connected to the rotating pressure plate 210. The interior of the hollow part is detachably connected to the expansion airbag 207, and the expansion airbag 207 supports the rotating pressure plate 210. In this embodiment, when the limit switch body 100 is not in use, the micro motor 212 is started to rotate and drive the L-shaped sliding plate 205 to move inside the second sliding groove 104, so that the rotating pressure plate 210 can contact the bottom of the trigger component 101, and the rotating pressure plate 210 is close to the outer wall of the expansion airbag 207, so that the limit switch body 100 will not control the movement of other mechanical moving parts due to misoperation when not in use.
[0033] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned micro motor 212 and adjusting screw 211 are the driving components in this embodiment. The driving components include but are not limited to the micro motor 212 and adjusting screw 211. As long as it is a component that can move the triangular member 206 toward the trigger component 101, it can be applied to this embodiment.
[0034] It is also worth noting that the above-mentioned triangular member 206, three-sided frame 200, inflatable airbag 207 and rotating shaft 209 are the limiting components in this embodiment. The limiting components include but are not limited to the triangular member 206, three-sided frame 200, inflatable airbag 207 and rotating shaft 209. As long as it is a component that can prevent the trigger component 101 from rotating, it can be applied to this embodiment.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the expansion airbag 207 is detachably connected to a pressure sensor 208 that passes through the triangular piece 206. In this embodiment, the internal pressure of the expansion airbag 207 is detected by the pressure sensor 208, and when the internal pressure of the expansion airbag 207 is too low to support the rotating pressure plate 210, the staff is reminded to inflate it in time.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-false touch component in this embodiment. The bottom of the trigger component 101 is provided with a second sliding groove 104, and the interior of the second sliding groove 104 is slidably connected to a sliding block 302. The outer wall of the sliding block 302 is rotatably connected to the vertical sides of the U-shaped connecting piece 303 on both sides. The horizontal side of the U-shaped connecting piece 303 is detachably connected to the outer wall near the bottom of the piston rod 301. The bottom piston of the piston rod 301 is connected to the piston cylinder 300. The outer wall of the piston cylinder 300 near the bottom is provided with an exhaust hole 304. In this embodiment, when the scroll wheel 102 is hit by an external force, the trigger component 101 rotates rapidly due to the large impact force, and then the sliding block 302 is released in the second sliding groove 104. The adaptive sliding of the piston rod 301 and the rotation of the U-shaped connecting member 303 cause the piston rod 301 to quickly retract into the interior of the piston cylinder 300, and the air inside the piston cylinder 300 is discharged outward through the exhaust hole 304. Due to the high speed, the air inside the piston cylinder 300 cannot be discharged quickly, and the piston rod 301 cannot retract quickly. As a result, after the impact force disappears, the trigger component 101 will not cause the contact to operate, thereby preventing the external impact from causing the contact of the limit switch body 100 to operate. The mechanical moving component hits the scroll wheel 102 at a constant speed, which can slowly discharge the air inside the piston cylinder 300, and the piston rod 301 retracts into the interior of the piston cylinder 300, causing the contact of the limit switch body 100 to operate.
[0037] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned piston cylinder 300, piston rod 301, exhaust hole 304, sliding block 302 and U-shaped connector 303 are the anti-accidental touch components in this embodiment. The anti-accidental touch components include but are not limited to the piston cylinder 300, piston rod 301, exhaust hole 304, sliding block 302 and U-shaped connector 303. As long as the components can prevent the trigger component 101 from causing the contact to operate when it is hit, they can be applied to this embodiment.
[0038] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in combination with specific implementation methods. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, they can make several simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the scope of protection determined by the claims submitted for the present invention.
