DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more apparent, comprehensible and easier to understand, the utility model will be further explained in detail below by combining with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] The embodiment discloses a rotary switch with a supporting mechanism, which comprises a mounting assembly, a static contact assembly, a moving contact frame assembly, a quick action mechanism and a driving mechanism.

[0049] Reference Figures 1-5 The mounting assembly serves as a mounting frame and comprises a base 1, an outer shell 2 and a middle seat 3. The middle seat 3 is fixed between the base 1 and the outer shell 2. The middle seat 3 is provided with a limiting protrusion 4. The limiting protrusion 4 has an upper limiting surface 41 and a lower limiting surface 42.

[0050] The static contact assembly comprises a static contact 5 arranged in the mounting assembly.

[0051] The moving contact frame assembly comprises a moving contact frame 6 and a moving contact 7 arranged on the moving contact frame 6. The moving contact 7 is located below the static contact 5. The moving contact frame 6 moves linearly in the mounting assembly to drive the moving contact 7 to move towards or away from the static contact 5.

[0052] The quick action mechanism comprises a movable frame 8, a limiting piece 9 and a first elastic piece 10. The movable frame 8 moves in the direction parallel to the movement linear direction of the moving contact frame 6 in the moving contact frame 6. The first elastic piece 10 drives the limiting piece 9 to move towards the limiting protrusion 4. The limiting piece 9 and the limiting protrusion 4 cooperate to limit the movement of the moving contact frame 6. Specifically, the moving contact frame 6 is provided with a guide groove 61 extending perpendicularly to the movement linear direction of the moving contact frame 6. The limiting piece 9 is arranged in the guide groove 61 in the form of a shaft. The limiting piece 9 can only move horizontally under the limitation of the guide groove 61. The first elastic piece 10 is a torsional spring arranged on the shaft-shaped limiting piece 9. The two ends of the torsional spring are arranged in the middle seat 3, so that the limiting piece 9 moves towards the limiting protrusion 4 under the action of the first elastic piece 10.

[0053] The second elastic member 11 is arranged between the movable frame 8 and the movable contact frame 6 and connects the movable frame 8 and the movable contact frame 6. Specifically, the second elastic member 11 is a spring, and the movable frame 8 is provided with a spring mounting groove 81 for mounting the second elastic member 11, the spring mounting groove 81 being provided with upper and lower end faces for abutting against the second elastic member 11. The movable contact frame 6 on the side of the lower end face of the spring mounting groove 81 is provided with a positioning groove 62, and at least part of the side edge of the second elastic member 11 protrudes from the side of the spring mounting groove 81 and is located above the positioning groove 62. When the movable frame 8 is driven to move downward, the upper end of the second elastic member 11 abuts against the upper end face of the spring mounting groove 81 and descends with the movable frame 8, and the lower end of the second elastic member 11 abuts against the positioning groove 62 of the movable contact frame 6 and remains stationary, so that the second elastic member 11 between the movable frame 8 and the movable contact frame 6 is compressed. In addition, a sliding groove 84 extending in a direction parallel to the movement straight line of the movable contact frame 6 is formed on the upper end face of the spring mounting groove 81, and the movable contact frame 6 is fixedly provided with a positioning pin 63 penetrating the sliding groove 84. When the movable frame 8 is driven to move upward, the lower end of the second elastic member 11 abuts against the lower end face of the spring mounting groove 81 and ascends with the movable frame 8, and the upper end of the second elastic member 11 abuts against the positioning pin 63 of the movable contact frame 6 and remains stationary, so that the second elastic member 11 between the movable frame 8 and the movable contact frame 6 is compressed.

[0054] The driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft 12 and a knob (not shown in the figure) assembled on the rotating shaft 12, the rotating shaft 12 is mounted between the middle seat 3 and the outer shell 2 and connected with the movable frame 8, the rotating shaft 12 rotates to drive the movable frame 8 to move upward and downward relative to the movable contact frame 6, so as to store energy for the second elastic member 11; the movable frame 8 moves to push the limiting member 9 and the limiting protrusion 4 to be unlocked, and the movable contact frame 6 moves under the energy release of the second elastic member 11 to drive the movable contact 7 and the static contact 5 to be connected or disconnected. Specifically, the movable frame 8 is provided with a first unlocking protrusion and a second unlocking protrusion, and the first unlocking protrusion and the second unlocking protrusion are respectively provided with a first unlocking slope 82 and a second unlocking slope 83. The limiting protrusion 4 has a locking effect on the limiting member 9, and when the limiting member 9 is located on the upper limiting face 41 of the limiting protrusion 4, the switch is in the connected state; when the limiting member 9 is located on the lower limiting face 42 of the limiting protrusion 4, the switch is in the disconnected state. When the movable frame 8 is driven to move downward, the first unlocking slope 82 pushes the limiting member 9 and the upper limiting face 41 (i.e. the upper end face) of the limiting protrusion 4 to be unlocked; when the movable frame 8 is driven to move upward, the second unlocking slope 83 pushes the limiting member 9 and the lower limiting face 42 (i.e. the lower end face) of the limiting protrusion 4 to be unlocked.

[0055] Referring to Figures 6-11The rotary switch of the present application further comprises a supporting mechanism, which comprises a supporting piece 13 and a third elastic piece 14. The supporting piece 13 is hingedly connected to the bottom of the movable contact holder 6, the bottom of the movable holder 8 or the base 1, so as to be rotatable in the gap on the base 1. The third elastic piece 14 acts on the supporting piece 13, so as to provide a reset function for the supporting piece 13. Specifically, the supporting piece 13 comprises a supporting body, a connecting block 131, a retreat inclined block and a supporting block provided on the supporting body. The connecting block 131 is located at one end of the supporting body and is hingedly connected by a pin 15. The other end of the supporting body is provided with a lower supporting surface 134. The retreat inclined block is provided with a retreat inclined surface 132. The supporting block is provided with an upper supporting surface 133.

[0056] When the movable holder 8 is driven downward by the driving mechanism, the lower end surface of the movable holder 8 contacts the retreat inclined surface 132 of the supporting piece 13, so as to push the supporting piece 13 to rotate to a lying state and store energy in the third elastic piece 14. When the movable holder 8 is driven upward by the driving mechanism, the supporting piece 13 is driven to move and rotate to a standing state under the energy release of the third elastic piece 14. The upper supporting surface 133 of the supporting piece 13 acts on the supporting surface of the movable contact holder 6. The lower supporting surface 134 of the supporting piece 13 acts on the base 1. Thus, under the driving of the third elastic piece 14, the supporting piece 13 always abuts against the bottom surface of the base 1 in the on state of the switch, so as to support the movable contact holder 6 and reduce or eliminate the pressure of the limiting piece 9 on the limiting protrusion 4.

[0057] As a preferred solution, the pin 15 on the connecting block 131 of the supporting piece 13 is hingedly connected to the bottom of the movable contact holder 6, so as to be rotatable. The third elastic piece 14 is a torsion spring. The supporting body of the supporting piece 13 is provided with a recessed surface 135 on one side. The lower end surface of the movable contact holder 6 is provided with a groove. One end of the torsion arm of the third elastic piece 14 abuts against the recessed surface 135. The other end of the torsion arm abuts against the groove. By using the above design, the bottom space of the movable contact holder 6 is fully utilized. Moreover, the supporting mechanism and the movable contact holder assembly form an assembly whole, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency.

[0058] As a preferred solution, when the movable frame 8 is in the highest position, a gap is left between the lower end face of the movable frame 8 and the retreat slope 132 of the support 13. By adopting the above design, when it is required to turn on the rotary switch, the rotary shaft 12 is rotated to drive the movable frame 8 to move upward until the limit piece 9 moves to the edge limit of the limit protrusion 4, at this time, the movable frame 8 has moved a certain distance, which is regarded as a buffer stroke, when the limit piece 9 is unlocked from the limit protrusion 4, the movable contact frame 6 is jumped up under the action of the second elastic piece 11, thereby driving the movable contact 7 to contact the static contact 5 to connect the circuit, at the same time, the support 13 is lifted away from the base 1 along with the movable contact frame 6, and the third elastic piece 14 is released to make the support 13 quickly rotate from the lying state to the standing state. Since the buffer stroke exists between the support 13 and the movable frame 8, the buffer stroke avoids the hard impact of the support 13 on the movable frame 8 when the support 13 is quickly rotated, thereby reducing the wear problem of the lower end face of the movable frame 8 caused by the impact in long-term operation, not only greatly improving the service life of the support 13, but also further improving the reliability of the rotary switch.

[0061] (2) see Figure 13 , the rotary shaft 12 is rotated, the movable frame 8 moves towards the bottom surface of the base 1, after moving a certain distance, the bottom side edge of the movable frame 8 is in contact with the retreat slope 132 of the support 13, the support 13 is rotated by pushing the retreat slope 132, and the second elastic piece 11 between the movable frame 8 and the movable contact frame 6 is compressed to store energy;

[0062] (3) see Figure 14 , the movable frame 8 continues to move downward, the supporting effect of the support 13 between the bottom surface of the base 1 and the movable contact frame 6 is eliminated, and the second elastic piece 11 continues to compress and store energy;

[0063] (4) see Figure 15, the first unlocking slope 82 of the movable frame 8 pushes the limiting piece 9 to move in the guide groove 61 of the movable contact frame 6 and to be away from the position of the limiting protrusion 4, so that the limiting protrusion 4 is unlocked to the limiting piece 9, at this time, the second elastic piece 11 releases energy and drives the movable contact frame assembly to move away from the fixed contact 5, the movable contact 7 and the fixed contact 5 are disconnected, the limiting piece 9 moves from the guide groove 61 to the direction of the limiting protrusion 4 under the action of the first elastic piece 10, and is located on the lower limiting surface 42 of the limiting protrusion 4, so that the movable contact frame 6 is locked, the switch is in the disconnected state, and the supporting piece 13 is in the lying state, and the third elastic piece 14 accumulates energy;

[0064] (5) the rotating shaft 12 is rotated in the opposite direction, the movable frame 8 moves away from the bottom surface of the base 1, the second elastic piece 11 is compressed and accumulates energy, after moving to a certain distance, the second unlocking slope 83 of the movable frame 8 pushes the limiting piece 9 to be unlocked to the limiting protrusion 4, at this time, the second elastic piece 11 releases energy and drives the movable contact frame assembly to move close to the fixed contact 5, the movable contact 7 and the fixed contact 5 are connected, and the third elastic piece 14 releases energy and drives the supporting piece 13 to rotate to the standing state, and the switch is restored to the connected state of step (1), and the upper supporting surface 133 of the supporting piece 13 is supported on the supporting surface of the movable contact frame 6, so that the movable contact frame assembly is always supported on the base 1 in the connected state.
