Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of airborne suspension launch technology, and in particular relates to a signal switching mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] After the airborne suspended launcher has successfully attached the suspended object to the ground, it still requires a series of ground checks before takeoff. During these checks, to prevent accidental energization that could lead to accidental release or ignition of the suspended object and cause personal injury or property damage, airborne suspended launchers are often equipped with a ground safety interface. After the suspended object is attached, a safety pin is inserted into the interface to cut off the release or ignition circuit, preventing accidents caused by accidental energization. Current technology directly uses the safety pin to actuate the microswitch contacts, which causes severe wear and tear on the microswitch contacts over long-term use; furthermore, some safety mechanisms are overly complex and have low structural reliability.

[0020] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0021] A signal switching mechanism includes a signal mechanism base 1, a micro switch 2, a micro switch base 3, a torsion spring 4, a torsion spring shaft 5, and a signal switching lever 6.

[0022] The upper part of the signal switching lever 6 is rotatably connected to the signal mechanism base 1 via the torsion spring shaft 5; the torsion spring 4 is installed on the torsion spring shaft 5, one end of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the signal mechanism base 1, and the other end pulls the signal switching lever 6 to prevent the signal switching lever 6 from rotating counterclockwise.

[0023] The micro switch 2 is fixed on the micro switch base 3. When the signal switching lever 6 rotates clockwise, the signal switching lever 6 can activate the micro switch 2. In this embodiment, two micro switches 2 are arranged side by side on the micro switch base 3, and the signal switching lever 6 can activate both micro switches 2 simultaneously.

[0024] The signal switching lever 6 has a protrusion on the side away from the micro switch in the middle. In this embodiment, the protrusion is trapezoidal. When the safety pin is inserted into the base 1 of the signal mechanism, the safety pin pushes the protrusion of the signal switching lever 6 to rotate the signal switching lever 6 clockwise and trigger the micro switch 2 to disconnect the ignition circuit. When the safety pin is pulled out, the signal switching lever 6 rotates counterclockwise under the action of the torsion spring 4 to disengage from the micro switch 2, and the ignition circuit is connected again.

They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent transformations or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
