Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a moving contact of a quick-acting switch. Background Technology

[0002] Switches are widely used in the control circuits of various devices. In the existing technology, a quick-acting switch usually includes a housing, a driving element, a stationary contact, and a moving contact. By pushing the driving element to move, the moving contact set on the driving element is driven to connect or disconnect with the stationary contact, forming normally closed circuits and normally open circuits respectively, thereby controlling the on and off of the circuit.

[0003] Existing moving contacts typically include a moving contact support and a silver contact mounted on the support. The moving contact support is made of thin metal sheet, which has low strength and weak bending resistance, making it prone to deformation after frequent use, leading to a deterioration in switch performance. Based on these problems, the applicant of this application previously filed a utility model patent with patent application number 202421190134.X, which discloses a quick-acting switch. In this quick-acting switch, a mounting base is first provided at the end of the push rod, and then conductive sheets are provided on the upper and lower sides of the mounting base, forming a moving contact assembly with strong bending resistance, which prevents the conductive sheets from bending and deforming, thereby enhancing stability. However, since this moving contact (mounting base and conductive sheets) is assembled by manual riveting, it not only has low processing precision but also high labor costs. Therefore, it is necessary to improve this structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moving contact that not only has higher precision but also saves labor costs and significantly improves the cost-effectiveness ratio.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moving contact, comprising an insulating base and a first conductive sheet and a second conductive sheet disposed on the upper and lower sides of the insulating base, wherein the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are respectively provided with a first silver contact and a second silver contact, and the first conductive sheet, the insulating base and the second conductive sheet are respectively provided with a first through hole, a second through hole and a third through hole for a push rod to pass through; the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are respectively welded to the upper and lower sides of the insulating base.

Furthermore, the welding assembly of this moving contact, compared to riveting, not only offers higher precision but also saves labor costs and significantly improves cost-effectiveness.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet are connected to the upper and lower sides of the insulating base by ultrasonic welding.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: As attached Figures 1-6 The movable contact shown includes an insulating base 1 and a first conductive plate 2 and a second conductive plate 3 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the insulating base 1. The first conductive plate 2 and the second conductive plate 3 are respectively provided with a first silver contact 4 and a second silver contact 5. The first conductive plate 2, the insulating base 1, and the second conductive plate 3 are respectively provided with a first through hole 6, a second through hole 7, and a third through hole 8 for a push rod to pass through. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the first through hole 6 is greater than the area of ​​the second through hole 7, which is greater than the area of ​​the third through hole 8, thus forming a spring cavity to facilitate the movement of the spring plate inside. The first conductive plate 2 and the second conductive plate 3 are respectively welded to the upper and lower sides of the insulating base 1. Welding the first conductive plate 2 and the second conductive plate 3 to the upper and lower sides of the insulating base 1 significantly improves the structural strength of the movable contact, making it less prone to bending during use. Furthermore, the movable contact is assembled by welding, which, compared to riveting, not only provides higher precision but also saves labor costs and significantly improves the cost-effectiveness.

[0026] More specifically, the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are connected to the upper and lower sides of the insulating base 1 respectively by ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding not only offers advantages such as fast welding speed and high strength, but also low cost and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, ultrasonic welding can achieve seamless welding, resulting in aesthetically pleasing weld points.

[0027] As attached Figures 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer contours of the insulating base 1, the first conductive sheet 2, and the second conductive sheet 3 are all rectangular (otherwise, shapes such as circles, ellipses, and trapezoids are also within the protection scope). The first conductive sheet 2 has a first positioning recess 9 at both ends. The insulating base 1 has a first positioning protrusion 10 that matches the first positioning recess 9, and the first positioning protrusion 10 is welded to the first conductive sheet 2 at the position corresponding to the first positioning recess 9. In this embodiment, there are four first positioning recesses 9, which are respectively located at the four apex corners of the first conductive sheet 2. The second conductive sheet 3 has a second positioning recess 11 at both ends. The insulating base 1 has a second positioning protrusion 12 that matches the second positioning recess 11, and the second positioning protrusion 12 is welded to the second conductive sheet 3 at the position corresponding to the second positioning recess 11. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the second positioning protrusion 12 is U-shaped, covering the left and right ends of the second conductive sheet 3. The first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are end-welded, which achieves high welding strength in the case of small-area welding. The concave-convex positioning method not only facilitates the initial positioning process, but also improves the stability of the connection structure between the first conductive sheet 2, the second conductive sheet 3 and the insulating base 1.

[0028] The insulating base 1 is made of plastic, while the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 are made of copper. Plastic has good insulation and plasticity, so the insulating base 1, made of plastic, not only has good insulation performance but is also very easy to process. Copper has good conductivity and plasticity, so the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3, made of copper, not only have excellent conductivity but also good processing performance.

[0029] As attached Figures 1-6 As shown, the first conductive sheet 2 has multiple first positioning holes 13, the upper surface of the insulating base 1 has multiple first positioning protrusions 14 that mate with the first positioning holes 13, the second conductive sheet 3 has multiple second positioning holes 15, and the lower surface of the insulating base 1 has multiple second positioning protrusions 16 that mate with the second positioning holes 15. In this embodiment, there are four first positioning protrusions 14 and four second positioning protrusions 16, both of which are cylindrical. Two first positioning protrusions 14 are located on the left side of the second through hole 7 on the insulating base 1, and two second positioning protrusions 16 are located on the right side of the second through hole 7 on the insulating base 1, and the two are symmetrically arranged. Two second positioning protrusions 16 are located on the left side of the second through hole 7 on the insulating base 1, and two are located on the right side of the second through hole 7 on the insulating base 1, and the two are symmetrically arranged. This design not only serves as a pre-positioning function, facilitating the precise welding of the first conductive sheet 2 and the second conductive sheet 3 onto the insulating base 1, but also effectively improves the connection strength between the first conductive sheet 2 and the insulating base 1, and between the second conductive sheet 3 and the insulating base 1.

[0030] As attached Figures 1-6 As shown, the first conductive sheet 2 has a first through hole 17, and the first silver contact 4 is interference-fitted into the first through hole 17. The insulating base 1 has a first clearance groove 18 at the inner end of the first through hole 17 to allow space for the inner end of the first silver contact 4. The second conductive sheet 3 has a second through hole 19, and the second silver contact 5 is interference-fitted into the second through hole 19. The insulating base 1 has a second clearance groove 20 at the inner end of the second through hole 19 to allow space for the inner end of the second silver contact 5. In this embodiment, the first through hole 17, the first clearance groove 18, the second through hole 19, and the second clearance groove 20 are all circular. The inner diameter of the first clearance groove 18 is larger than the inner diameter of the first through hole 17, and the inner diameter of the second clearance groove 20 is larger than the inner diameter of the second through hole 19. The mounting structure of the first silver contact 4 and the second silver contact 5 is simple and reliable, facilitating assembly and production.

[0031] In addition, a slot can be formed on the first conductive sheet 2 on the left and right sides corresponding to the first through hole 6, for the end of the spring plate for push rod reset to engage. The second conductive sheet 3 also has the same structure, improving its versatility.
