Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The following is a detailed description of the travel switch for a hump stop device according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5 This invention will be described in detail below.

[0026] A limit switch for a hump stop device includes a first linkage plate 1, a magnet base 2, a second linkage plate 3, and a proximity switch 4. The first linkage plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the side wall 8 of the cylinder cover of the hump stop device 7, and the magnet base 2 is firmly fixed to the first linkage plate 1. Correspondingly, the second linkage plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the side wall 9 of the cylinder piston rod connecting plate of the hump stop device 7, and the proximity switch 4 is fixed to the second linkage plate 3. Crucially, the proximity switch 4 and the magnet base 2 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0027] Furthermore, to facilitate installation and disassembly, both the first linkage plate 1 and the second linkage plate 3 are designed with screw holes 5. By passing bolts through these screw holes 5, the linkage plates can be easily fastened to the corresponding components of the hump stop device 7.

[0028] Furthermore, to improve space utilization and ensure smooth operation, the first linkage plate 1 is located on the outer side of the cylinder cover side wall 8, and the second linkage plate 3 is located on the outer side of the cylinder piston rod connecting plate side wall 9. The movement between the two is transmitted through the piston rod 10. The magnet base 2 and the proximity switch 4 are located on the outer edges of their respective linkage plates to facilitate magnetic field induction and signal transmission.

[0029] Considering the potential electrical interference and physical damage in the actual operating environment, the proximity switch 4 is connected to a wire protection tube 6 to effectively protect the wire from external factors and ensure stable signal transmission.

[0030] The specific implementation process of the limit switch for the hump stop device of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 3-4 When the computer sends a parking brake command, the hydraulic pressure of the working cylinder or the air pressure of the cylinder pushes the piston rod 10 outward, causing the brake rails on both sides to move outward until the braking position. At this time, the contact plate of proximity switch 4 falls due to magnetic demagnetization, 11-13 opens, and 11-12 closes, indicating that the parking brake is engaged. When the computer sends a parking brake release command, the hydraulic pressure of the working cylinder or the air pressure of the cylinder pushes the piston rod 10 inward, causing the brake rails on both sides to move inward until the release position. At this time, the contact plate of proximity switch 4 is attracted by magnetic force, 11-13 closes, and 11-12 opens, indicating that the parking brake is released.

[0032] The limit switch of this utility model for the hump stop device has the following characteristics:

[0033] 1. Simple and practical structure, easy to maintain;

[0034] 2. The shape and size can be adjusted according to the actual size of the hydraulic cylinder or air cylinder, but the internal structure and working principle remain unchanged.

[0035] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
