[0030] A compact electric tool signal switch, as shown in Figure 1 mainly relates to the start-stop control technology of the electric tool switch motor, and the structure comprises a base 1, a PCB board 3 and a push rod assembly 4 mounted in the base, and a reversing rotor 5 and a reversing cover plate 6 rotationally mounted on the top of the base.

[0031] The base 1 is in the shape of a rectangular box, and one side of the base is provided with a rectangular mounting port 13, that is Figure 1 as shown in the left side of the base, the mounting port is provided, so that the PCB board 3 and the push rod assembly 4 can be mounted into the base 1 through the mounting port 13, and a seat cover 2 is further provided to seal and cover the mounting port 13, so that a sealing ring 10 is provided on the seat cover 2 to tightly cooperate with the mounting port 13 to form a mounting seal.

[0032] In addition, the seat cover 2 is provided with a threading hole 21, and the signal wire 31 is connected to the PCB board 3 through the threading hole, so as to perform signal transmission connection of the electric tool signal switch.

The other end of the push rod handle 41 is located outside the base 1 and is provided with a fixedly installed trigger 43. Therefore, the push rod handle 41 can be axially reciprocated by being pressed and driven by the trigger 43, and the push rod head 42 in the base can also be synchronously axially reciprocated.

[0037] The sealing sleeve 46 is arranged in the push rod hole 14 and forms a dynamic seal with the push rod handle 41 entering and exiting the push rod hole 14. Therefore, when the push rod handle 41 moves axially and reciprocally, the waterproof and dustproof performance between the push rod handle 41 and the push rod hole 14 can be ensured.

[0038] The push rod head 42 is provided with signal brushes 44. In this embodiment, two signal brushes are designed, and the two signal brushes are installed side by side on the top surface of the push rod head 42. In this way, the push rod assembly 4 drives the signal brushes 44 to move axially and reciprocally to contact the PCB board 3, so as to form various signal outputs. Specifically, with the axial and reciprocal movement of the push rod assembly, one of the signal brushes contacts the PCB board to form an ON-OFF signal output, and the other signal brush contacts the PCB board to form a potentiometer signal output.

[0039] The base is provided with a circular mounting hole 11 composed of an upper hole 111 and a lower hole 112 coaxially arranged. The diameter of the upper hole 111 is larger than that of the lower hole 112, so that an annular inner shoulder 113 is formed between the upper hole 111 and the lower hole 112.

[0041] The inner shoulder 113 is provided with a sealing ring 8, which is embedded in the ring groove 114 arranged on the inner shoulder 113, and the sealing ring 8 contacts the bottom surface of the reversing cover plate 6 to form a rotating seal of the reversing cover plate in the upper hole 111.

[0042] The top of the reversing cover plate 6 is provided with a driving block 62, and an external force can be applied to the driving block to drive the rotation of the reversing cover plate 6; the bottom of the reversing rotor 5 is provided with a reversing brush 7, which is arranged and fixed through the limiting platform 52 and the positioning column 53 on the bottom of the reversing rotor, and when the reversing cover plate 6 and the reversing rotor 5 are arranged in the mounting hole 11 on the top of the base 1, the reversing brush 7 can contact the PCB 3.

[0043] In this way, when the reversing rotor 5 is driven by the reversing cover plate 6 to form a sealed rotation in the mounting hole 11, the reversing brush 7 can be driven to rotate synchronously to contact the PCB 3 to form various working state outputs, such as forward rotation signal, reverse rotation signal or no-reversing signal.

[0044] Meanwhile, the outer circumferential surface of the reversing cover plate 6 or the reversing rotor 5 is respectively provided with a limiting block 61 and a limiting sliding groove 115 which are arranged in each other, and in the embodiment, a pair of center-symmetrically arranged limiting blocks 61 are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the bottom circular platform of the reversing cover plate 6, and a pair of center-symmetrically arranged limiting sliding grooves 115 are arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the upper hole 111 of the mounting hole 11, so that the pair of limiting blocks 61 are respectively arranged in the pair of limiting sliding grooves 115, and the sliding stroke of the limiting block 61 in the limiting sliding groove 115 can limit the rotating stroke of the reversing cover plate 6 in the upper hole 111, and thus the rotating stroke of the reversing cover plate 6 and the reversing rotor 5 in the mounting hole 11 is limited.

[0045] In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the reversing cover plate 6 and the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 11 are respectively provided with a positioning bead 9 and a positioning groove 116 constituting the rotating positioning of the reversing cover plate, specifically, the outer circumferential surface of the reversing cover plate 6 is provided with a side hole 64, the positioning bead 9 is elastically pushed outward by the positioning spring 91 placed in the side hole 64, and the inner circumferential surface of the mounting hole 11, specifically the upper hole 111, is provided with three positioning grooves 116, so that the positioning bead 9 is selectively fitted in the three positioning grooves 116 with the rotation of the reversing cover plate 6, thereby locking a rotating position of the reversing cover plate 6 by each positioning groove 116, and generating the feeling of left and right steering.

[0046] The utility model discloses can guarantee the integrity of pedestal top, because the design and installation of traditional electric tool signal switch all have shell cover structure are omitted, this not only greatly reduces the overall height size of electric tool signal switch, makes the electric tool signal switch can better satisfy the miniaturization use needs of market, and also can reduce the production cost of product, especially reversing cover plate 6 and reversing rotor 5 directly fit in the mounting hole 11 of pedestal 1 top, also greatly simplify the assembly process.

[0047] Moreover, due to the structural limitations of the size and shape of the electric tool signal switch, the tension and lateral force on the rotating drive reversing cover plate are limited. Since the top of the base is a complete structure, the lateral force on the reversing cover plate rotatingly fitted in the mounting hole also directly acts on the base. In combination with the dynamic seal formed by the sealing ring, the waterproof and dustproof function level of the electric tool signal switch can be greatly improved.

[0048] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, and those skilled in the art should understand that any equivalent structural design to the embodiment should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
