[0018] Secondly, the rotating rod rotation, gear transmission and cam rotation triggering mode of the present application can effectively reduce the triggering force of the travel switch, prevent the travel switch from being damaged by impact or fatigue, and the rotating triggering structure assembled by the triggering mechanism can change the triggering position by adjusting the overall rotation angle of the cam shaft, change the triggering interval, triggering position and triggering angle of the travel switch by adjusting the meshing angle of the tooth disc of the split gear or changing the shape and position of the protruding outer circle of the cam.
[0019] Thirdly, the present application can realize complex triggering logic and complete control requirements by matching cams with different numbers, shapes and installation angles. The cam triggering mechanism transmits force and position through the rotating rod and matching transmission gears, effectively reduces the stress of the travel switch, avoids damage to the travel switch, and ensures that the triggering mechanism can better realize the control function.
