Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromechanical equipment technology, specifically a highly secure mechanical and electrical interlocking device. Background Technology

[0002] Interlocking devices can be classified into centralized interlocking and non-centralized interlocking according to the operation method, and into electric interlocking, relay interlocking and computer interlocking according to the different working methods of the main equipment. Mechanical and electrical interlocking means that when the start button is pressed, the electrical action is activated, and the electrical action will continue even after the button is released, without resetting because the button is released.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN221149848U discloses a mechanical-electrical interlocking device. By rotating a knob, a hexagonal prism and a rotating shaft can be rotated, allowing a rope to be wound around the shaft. This pulls two locking blocks out of their slots, releasing the restriction on the second rotating shaft. Pressing the knob downwards engages the pressing element with the switching element. After use, rotating the knob in the opposite direction, combined with spring return, locks the locking blocks back into their slots, thus restricting the second rotating shaft and preventing it from moving freely up and down, thereby preventing accidental activation. The accidental activation mechanism used in this device is simple to understand, low in cost, and easy to widely implement.

[0004] While the above solution can prevent accidental activation, the elasticity of the switch itself after the knob is released may push the rotating shaft upwards to reset, and the locking block may also re-enter the slot under the action of the spring. Therefore, when the switch is a limit switch or micro switch or other self-resetting switch, it cannot maintain the triggered state of the switch. The knob must be pressed continuously to ensure that the switch remains triggered, which is inconvenient to use and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly secure mechanical and electrical interlocking device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a highly secure mechanical and electrical interlocking device includes a base 1 with several mounting holes 2 extending through it. A switch 3 is fixedly inserted through the top of the base 1. A bottom tube 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, with the switch 3 located inside the bottom tube 4. A sleeve 5 is threadedly fitted to the top of the bottom tube 4. A pressure rod 6 is movably inserted through the top of the sleeve 5. A perforated handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure rod 6. A guide sleeve 13 is detachably connected to the top opening of the bottom tube 4. The bottom end of the pressure rod 6 is located inside the guide sleeve 13. The switch 3 is located directly below the pressure rod 6. A retaining ring 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 5. A spring 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pressure rod 6 located between the retaining ring 8 and the guide sleeve 13. The top end of the spring 10 is positioned and connected to the retaining ring 8, and the bottom end of the spring 10 is positioned and connected to the guide sleeve 13. A U-shaped guide groove is provided through the outer wall of the guide sleeve 13. A guide pin 17 is movably inserted in the U-shaped guide groove. The guide pin 17 is fixedly connected to the pressure rod 6. Further, the U-shaped guide groove includes a vertical groove 18, a first horizontal groove 19, and a second horizontal groove 20 that are provided through the guide sleeve 13. One end of the first horizontal groove 19 is connected to the top end of the vertical groove 18, and one end of the second horizontal groove 20 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical groove 18.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned solution, this utility model allows for easy operation. When using the device, rotating the pressure rod 6 via the plum blossom handle 7 moves the guide pin 17 from the first horizontal groove 19 to the top of the vertical groove 18. This allows the pressure rod 6 to move downwards, triggering the switch 3 and moving the guide pin 17 to the bottom of the vertical groove 18. Rotating the pressure rod 6 then moves the guide pin 17 into the second horizontal groove 20, preventing the pressure rod 6 from moving upwards and resetting under the action of the spring 10. This keeps the switch 3 in a triggered state, making operation simple and convenient, and providing good performance.

[0021] Specific combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the retaining ring 8 is provided with a first positioning hole 9, the top of the guide sleeve 13 is provided with a second positioning hole 14, the top of the spring 10 is integrally formed with a first positioning rod 11, the first positioning rod 11 is located in the first positioning hole 9, and the bottom of the spring 10 is integrally formed with a second positioning rod 12, the second positioning rod 12 is located in the second positioning hole 14.

[0022] The first positioning rod 11, in conjunction with the first positioning hole 9, positions the top end of the spring 10 on the retaining ring 8. The second positioning rod 12, in conjunction with the second positioning hole 14, positions the bottom end of the spring 10 on the guide sleeve 13. Since the spring 10 is a metal part with good elasticity, when the spring 10 is in its natural state, the guide pin 17 is located at the end of the first horizontal groove 19 away from the vertical groove 18. When the pressure rod 6 is rotated by the plum blossom handle 7, causing the guide pin 17 to move from the first horizontal groove 19 to the vertical groove 18, the spring 10 will be twisted. Correspondingly, the spring 10 will also be twisted between the guide sleeve 13 and the pressure rod 6. A torque is applied between the rods 6. Therefore, when the guide pin 17 is moved to the bottom of the vertical groove 18 and rotated into the second horizontal groove 20, the guide pin 17 will automatically move to the end of the second horizontal groove 20 away from the vertical groove 18 under the torque applied by the spring 10. This can prevent the guide pin 17 from moving in the second horizontal groove 20 without human operation. In addition, the spring 10 can be pre-twisted at a certain angle during assembly, so that the spring 10 always applies a torque to the pressure rod 6, thereby further improving the stability of the guide pin 17 in the first horizontal groove 19 and the second horizontal groove 20.

[0023] Specific combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of connecting rods 15 are fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 13, and a plurality of grooves 16 are provided on the top of the bottom tube 4. The connecting rods 15 are located in the corresponding grooves 16. Through the cooperation between the grooves 16 and the connecting rods 15, it is convenient to position and install the guide sleeve 13 in the top opening of the bottom tube 4.

[0024] Specific combination Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, one end of the guide pin 17 located inside the guide sleeve 13 is connected to the threaded hole on the outer peripheral wall of the pressure rod 6 to facilitate the assembly of the guide pin 17 on the pressure rod 6. In order to ensure the reliability of the connection between the guide pin 17 and the pressure rod 6, the threaded end of the guide pin 17 can be bonded and fixed in the threaded hole using thread adhesive.

[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
