This type of solution has problems with inaccurate positioning and weak strength of the terminal slot size and structure. At the same time, the contact riveting contact ... Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a microswitch structure with a small stroke and high current capability to address the problem that existing microswitches cannot meet the requirements of small stroke and high current performance. The structure includes a plastic-coated base 6, inside which are encased a first conductive pin 81, a second conductive pin 82, and a third conductive pin 83 extending downwards side-by-side. A plastic shell 4 is fitted onto the upper side of the plastic-coated base 6. A movable piece 5 is horizontally arranged inside the plastic shell 4. The third conductive pin 83 extends upwards and connects to the first end of the movable piece 5. The second conductive pin 82 extends upwards and is provided with a lower conductive seat 64. The first conductive pin 81 extends upwards and is provided with an upper conductive seat 61 corresponding vertically to the lower conductive seat 64. The upper conductive base 61 and the lower conductive base 64 are equipped with stationary contacts 63 on their opposite end faces. The second end of the moving piece 5 is provided with a moving contact 51, which is located between the two stationary contacts 63. The upper end of the housing 4 is provided with a button 3 corresponding to the first end of the moving piece 5. A handle 1 with one end hinged to the housing 4 is installed on the upper side of the housing 4. The moving piece 5 is limited by the first conductive pin 81, which can limit the movement of the lower conductive base 64 and the upper conductive base 61. The stroke of the moving piece 5 is relatively short. At the same time, the button 3 is controlled by the handle 1, which is convenient. The stationary contacts 63 are firmly installed and fixed, with a large contact surface, which can withstand a relatively large current, thus realizing a small stroke and large current.
[0023] Specifically, the plastic-coated base 6 can firmly wrap the first conductive needle 81, the second conductive needle 82 and the third conductive needle 83. The movable piece 5 is set in the narrow space between the plastic shell 4 and the plastic-coated base 6. When the handle 1 presses the button 3, the button 3 will act on the movable piece 5. The movable contact 51 at the second end of the movable piece 5 can swing between the lower conductive base 64 and the upper conductive base 61 to switch the conductive connection.
[0024] The upper conductive base 61 and the first conductive pin 81 are an integral structure, and the lower conductive base 64 and the second conductive pin 82 are also an integral structure. The plastic-coated base 6 can be provided with hollow holes between the first conductive pin 81 and the second conductive pin 82, and between the second conductive pin 82 and the third conductive pin 83. The hollow holes can be used to install and fix the micro switch.
[0025] To improve the waterproof performance of the microswitch structure, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, a sealing sleeve 2 is provided on the outer side of the press 3. The upper end of the sealing sleeve 2 is engaged with a groove 23 on the outer side of the press 3, and the lower edge of the sealing sleeve 2 is engaged with a slot 22 on the upper end of the rubber shell 4. The gap between the press 3 and the rubber shell 4 is sealed by setting the sealing sleeve 2. The sealing sleeve 2 is fixed by the groove 23 and the slot 22, which is relatively firm.
[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, both the groove 23 on the push button 3 and the slot 22 on the rubber shell 4 are provided with triangular ribs 21. The ribs 21 are in contact with the sealing sleeve 2. By setting the triangular ribs 21, the installation sealing and firmness of both ends of the sealing sleeve 2 can be improved. The ribs 21 can be set on the side wall of the groove 23 or at the bottom of the slot 22, and both can be in contact with the sealing sleeve 2.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the static contact 63 has an inverted T-shaped cross-section. The root area of the static contact 63 is relatively large, making it more securely installed and able to withstand larger currents. The bottom of the static contact 63 is provided with a riveting part, which can be firmly connected to the lower conductive base 64 and the upper conductive base 61.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-6 As shown, the upper end of the third conductive pin 83 is provided with a snap-fit vertical plate 65 extending side by side from the upper side of the plastic-coated base 6. The snap-fit vertical plate 65 snaps into the moving piece 5. The lower side of the moving piece 5 is provided with an arched spring piece 53. The arched spring piece 53 corresponds to the snap-fit vertical plate 65. The snap-fit vertical plate 65 located at the end can limit one end of the moving piece 5. The snap-fit vertical plate 65 located in the middle can cooperate with the arched spring piece 53 to provide a restoring elastic force when the moving piece 5 moves.
[0029] The plastic-coated base 6 has a reinforced plastic coating part 62 on its upper side, which wraps around the root of the snap-fit vertical plate 65 and the upper conductive seat 61. The reinforced plastic coating part 62 can improve the root strength of the snap-fit vertical plate 65 and the upper conductive seat 61, increase their lifespan, and make the snap-fit vertical plate 65 and the upper conductive seat 61 less prone to breakage.
[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0031] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.
[0032] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
