Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial push button switch technology, specifically relating to a novel modular panel industrial push button switch self-locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] An industrial push-button switch is a basic control electrical device that uses a simple mechanical mechanism to switch circuits and issue control commands. It is mainly used to operate industrial automation control equipment such as contactors, relays, and electromagnetic starters. The basic principle of an industrial push-button switch is that by pushing the button, the moving contact is connected or disconnected from the stationary contact, thereby realizing the conduction and disconnection of the circuit.

Although these industrial push-button switches have a simple and reliable structure, the assembly process usually requires multiple steps and the use of various tools. This makes it more complicated and time-consuming to change or adjust the wiring. At the same time, the compact internal structure also limits the number of terminals and the flexibility of their layout, making the assembly, use and maintenance of industrial push-button switches less convenient.

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical issues, it is necessary to provide a novel modular panel-type industrial push-button switch self-locking structure.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a novel modular industrial push button switch self-locking structure according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a PCB board 1, a board switch 2 and an indicator light 3, wherein the board switch 2 and the indicator light 3 are both fixedly assembled on the PCB board 1.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a transmission washer 4 is fitted onto the top of the PCB board 1. The operating force of the spring 5 is transmitted through the transmission washer 4, thereby facilitating the control of the opening and closing of the panel switch 2.

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, the transmission pad 4 consists of a pad 401, a pair of claws 402 and a pair of limiting guide posts 403. The pair of claws 402 and the limiting guide posts 403 are all fixedly assembled below the pad 401.

[0039] Specifically, a clearance hole is provided at the center of the pad 401, and the clearance hole is correspondingly set with the indicator light 3. By providing clearance space for the indicator light 3, it is easier to observe and judge the disconnection and contact status of the PCB board 1 by observing the on / off state of the indicator light 3.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a pair of insertion limiting holes are provided on the PCB board 1, and a pair of claws 402 are engaged and assembled in the insertion limiting holes. The transmission pad 4 is assembled and limited by the engagement of the pair of claws 402 with the insertion limiting holes.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a pair of claws 402 and limiting guide posts 403 are staggered, and a pair of springs 5 ​​are both sleeved on the outside of the pair of limiting guide posts 403. The cooperation between the limiting guide posts 403 and the springs 5 ​​plays a role in limiting the movement of the transmission pad 4.

[0042] Preferably, the length of the pair of limit guide posts 403 depends on the height of the panel switch 2 and the total travel of the PCB board 1.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sliding pawl sleeve 6 is provided above the transmission pad 4. The sliding pawl sleeve 6 is used for the linkage between the push rod 10 and the operating component 9, and at the same time, it is used to transmit the power of the operating component 9, which facilitates the power transmission to the transmission pad 4.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the sliding claw sleeve 6 is composed of a sliding cylinder 601, a limiting bottom cylinder 602 and multiple sliding claws 603. The limiting bottom cylinder 602 is integrally assembled below the sliding cylinder 601, and multiple sliding claws 603 are evenly distributed on the outside of the sliding cylinder 601, and multiple sliding claws 603 are fixedly connected to the sliding cylinder 601 and the limiting bottom cylinder 602.

[0045] Preferably, there are four sliding claws 603. By setting the number of sliding claws 603 to four, it is convenient to use the sliding claws 603 to cooperate with multiple disengagement and engagement gaps to rotate and lock the operating component 9 by 90 degrees.

[0046] Specifically, the top surfaces of the multiple sliding claws 603 are all inclined. This facilitates the movement and locking of the push rod 10 through the interaction of the inclined surfaces of the sliding claws 603 with the operating teeth 903 and the operating connecting pipe 1001.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a fixing seat 7 is fitted on the upper part of the sliding pawl sleeve 6. The fixing seat 7 is used to assemble and fix the sliding pawl sleeve 6, the operation panel 8, the operation component 9 and the push rod 10.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an operation panel 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 7. The mounting base 7 is assembled and fixed via the operation panel 8. Simultaneously, the operation panel 8 and the button mounting housing can be used for assembly and positioning.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a pair of fixing screws 11 are fixedly connected between the fixing base 7 and the operation panel 8. The fixing screws 11 are used to assemble and fix the fixing base 7 and the operation panel 8.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an operating component 9 is slidably mounted inside the operating panel 8. The operating component 9, in cooperation with the sliding claw sleeve 6, locks and limits the assembly of the PCB board 1.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the operating component 9 consists of an operating outer cylinder 901, a limiting kit 902, and multiple operating teeth 903. The outer side of the operating outer cylinder 901 has external threads, and the operating outer cylinder 901 is threadedly assembled into the fixed seat 7. The operating outer cylinder 901 is assembled and limited by the mutual cooperation of the internal and external threads.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the limiting kit 902 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the operating outer cylinder 901, and multiple operating teeth 903 are evenly distributed below the operating outer cylinder 901. The push rod 10 is locked and limited by the cooperation between the operating teeth 903 and the sliding pawl 603.

[0053] Specifically, there are four operating teeth 903, which cooperate to form a disengagement and engagement gap. This disengagement and engagement gap is configured to cooperate with the sliding pawl 603. The push rod 10 is disengaged and self-locked by cooperating with the sliding pawl 603 through the disengagement and engagement gap.

[0054] The operating tooth 903, on the side opposite to the operating outer cylinder 901, consists of a short inclined surface and a long inclined surface. The short and long inclined surfaces are arranged in a stepped manner, with the short inclined surface positioned below the long inclined surface. The push rod 10 is self-locked by engaging with the inclined surface of the slide pawl 603 through the long inclined surface.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a washer 12 is provided between the operating component 9 and the push rod 10, and the washer 12 is fitted onto the outside of the push rod 10. The push rod 10 is sealed by the washer 12, which reduces the adverse effects of humid environments and liquids on the PCB board 1.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a push rod 10 is arranged between the operating component 9 and the sliding pawl sleeve 6, and both the operating component 9 and the push rod 10 are arranged corresponding to the sliding pawl sleeve 6.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the push rod 10 consists of an operation connecting tube 1001, an assembly tube 1002, and a light-transmitting pressing plate 1003. The assembly tube 1002 is fixedly assembled above the operation connecting tube 1001, and the light-transmitting pressing plate 1003 is fixedly assembled inside the assembly tube 1002.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the outer side of the operating connecting pipe 1001 is integrally formed with multiple evenly distributed limiting protrusions, and the inner wall of the operating outer cylinder 901 is provided with multiple evenly distributed clearance grooves. The limiting protrusions are slidably assembled in the clearance grooves. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusions and the clearance grooves, the push rod 10 can move radially within the operating component 9 without rotating.

[0059] Specifically, the bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001 is serrated. By cooperating with the serrated bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001 and the sliding claw 603, the sliding claw sleeve 6 can be pressed and moved by pressing the operating connecting tube 1001.

[0060] like Figure 12 As shown, when the PCB board 1 is pressed and locked, the operator can press the light-transmitting pressing plate 1003. The operating connecting tube 1001 and the operating component 9 move radially under the downward force of the finger and the guiding engagement of the limiting protrusion on the outer side of the operating connecting tube 1001 and the clearance groove on the inner wall of the operating outer cylinder 901. This allows the sliding pawl 603 to drive the pad 401 to press the spring 5 under the action of the serrated bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001. Subsequently, when the finger pressing the light-transmitting pressing plate 1003 is released, the sliding pawl 603 rotates relative to the serrated bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001 under the action of its own inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the sliding pawl 603 can contact the long inclined surface of the operating tooth 903. Then, the sliding pawl 603 slides down between the short and long inclined surfaces under the action of its own inclined surface and the long inclined surface, causing the operating tooth 903 to engage and limit the sliding pawl 603. At this time, the pad 401 compresses the spring 5 under the action of the sliding claw 603, and the pad 401 can press the hand switch 2, thereby realizing the pressing and locking of the hand switch 2.

[0061] like Figure 13 As shown, when the PCB board 1 is pressed to reset, the operating connecting tube 1001 and the operating component 9 move radially under the downward force of the finger and the guiding engagement of the limiting protrusion on the outer side of the operating connecting tube 1001 and the clearance groove on the inner wall of the operating outer cylinder 901. This allows the sliding pawl 603 to drive the pad 401 to press the spring 5 under the action of the serrated bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001. Subsequently, when the finger pressing the light-transmitting pressing plate 1003 is released, the sliding pawl 603 rotates relative to the serrated bottom of the operating connecting tube 1001 under the action of the inclined surface. The inclined surface of the sliding pawl 603 can contact the short inclined surface of the operating tooth 903. The sliding pawl 603 slides down into the disengagement and engagement gap under the action of its own inclined surface and the short inclined surface. At this time, the pad 401 bounces up under the action of the spring 5 and no longer presses the plate switch 2 to conduct, while the sliding pawl 603 slides down into the disengagement and engagement gap to lock.

[0062] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
