Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of limit switch technology, and more specifically, to a waterproof limit switch. Background Technology
[0002] Limit switches, also known as travel switches, are a type of position switch and a commonly used low-current control electrical appliance. They utilize the collision of moving parts in production machinery to actuate their contacts, thereby connecting or disconnecting the control circuit to achieve a certain control purpose. Typically, these switches are used to limit the position or travel of mechanical movement, causing the moving machinery to automatically stop, reverse, change speed, or automatically reciprocate at a certain position or travel. However, existing limit switches are inconvenient for workers to install and fix during the installation process, and the inside of the limit switches is prone to water leakage. Utility Model Content
