Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a positioning device for a spring-loaded capacitor switch. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, spring-loaded capacitor switches are widely used in the field of electronic device control. As a precision electronic switching element, the spring-loaded capacitor switch uses the elastic deformation of the spring to change the capacitance value, thereby realizing the conduction and disconnection of the circuit. When an external force presses the spring, the distance between it and the corresponding plate changes, triggering the capacitance change to generate an electrical signal. It is commonly found in the button control modules of mobile phones, smart wearable devices, industrial equipment control panels, and automotive control panels, providing key support for precise interaction.

[0003] In the existing technology, after the molded case switch is installed in the drawer, it is difficult to ensure that the trigger point of the molded case switch is aligned with the center of the operating handle on the drawer panel. Multiple adjustments are required to achieve alignment. Furthermore, in mass production, the above steps are required when installing the molded case switch in each low-voltage switch cabinet, resulting in low assembly efficiency. In addition, the spring force of the low-current molded case switch is small when it trips. If the trigger point of the molded case switch is not aligned with the center of the operating handle, it is easy to get stuck, causing the operating handle to not be displayed in the correct position as required by the specification, which can easily lead to misjudgment by the on-site operators.

[0004] An existing patent (publication number: CN220272399U) discloses a molded case switch mounting and positioning device. The molded case switch includes a molded case switch body and a switch mounting plate. The switch mounting plate has positioning holes. The molded case switch mounting and positioning device includes a horizontal baffle, a vertical baffle, an auxiliary positioning plate, and a plug for inserting into the positioning holes, all fixedly connected. The horizontal baffle and the vertical baffle are used to abut against the molded case switch body, and the auxiliary positioning plate is used to abut against the switch mounting plate. This utility model's molded case switch mounting and positioning device is easy to process and does not increase product costs. After the molded case switch is installed, the molded case switch mounting and positioning device can be quickly removed, which is convenient and fast. The molded case switch mounting and positioning device has strong versatility and can be used for assembling molded case switches of different manufacturers and models, and can be reused.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents have provided solutions. However, when installing spring-loaded capacitor switches on control panels, the lack of a structure for positioning the spring-loaded capacitor switches during installation reduces the stability of the installation.

[0006] To address this, a positioning device for spring-loaded capacitor switches is proposed. However, when installing spring-loaded capacitor switches on a control panel, the lack of a structure for positioning the installation of the spring-loaded capacitor switches makes it impossible to position them, thus reducing the stability of the installation and positioning process. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning device for a spring-loaded capacitor switch, which can solve the problem that when installing a spring-loaded capacitor switch on a control panel, the lack of a structure for positioning the spring-loaded capacitor switch during installation makes it impossible to position the switch, thus reducing the stability of the installation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning device for a spring-loaded capacitor switch, comprising a guide rail, an adjustment mechanism, and a positioning mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rail, and the positioning mechanism is slidably connected to the surface of the adjustment mechanism;

[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a guide frame, a positioning magnet, a positioning ring, an adjustment handle, a guide screw, a positioning suction cup, and a guide slide. Two guide frames are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the guide rail, respectively. The positioning magnet is snapped onto the surface of the guide frame. Two positioning rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide frame, respectively. The adjustment handle is rotatably connected to the inner side of the positioning ring. The guide screw is welded to the bottom of the adjustment handle. The positioning suction cup is threaded to the bottom of the guide screw surface. The guide slide is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning suction cup. The top of the guide slide is connected to the bottom of the positioning ring.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a traction component and a fixing component, wherein the traction component is slidably connected to the surface of the guide frame, and the fixing component is fixedly connected to the front side of the traction component.

[0011] Preferably, the traction assembly includes a guide plate, a positioning slide plate, and limiting magnets. The guide plate is slidably connected to the surface of the guide frame, and the inner side of the guide plate is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail. The positioning slide plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide plate, and two limiting magnets are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the inner side of the positioning slide plate.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing component includes a damping sleeve, a damping slide plate, and a spring clamp. The damping sleeve is fixedly connected to the front side of the guide plate, the damping slide plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the damping sleeve, and the spring clamp is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the damping slide plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This application sets up a guide rail and an adjustment mechanism. The guide rail can limit the adjustment mechanism and guide the movement of the positioning mechanism. The guide frame can cooperate with the positioning magnet to position the movement of the positioning mechanism by magnetic force. The adjustment handle can cooperate with the positioning ring. When the user rotates the adjustment handle, the guide screw can be rotated along the positioning ring. When the guide screw rotates, it drives the positioning suction cup to move, so that the positioning suction cup can move up and down along the guide slide at the positioning ring. The positioning suction cup gradually generates negative pressure as it moves along the guide screw, thereby increasing the stability of the positioning suction cup when it is adsorbed on the surface of the equipment.

[0019] 2. This application, by setting a positioning mechanism, allows the traction component to cooperate with the fixing component.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] A positioning device for a spring-loaded capacitor switch includes a guide rail 1, an adjustment mechanism 2, and a positioning mechanism 3. The adjustment mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rail 1, and the positioning mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the surface of the adjustment mechanism 2.

[0031] The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a guide frame 21, a positioning magnet 22, a positioning ring 23, an adjustment handle 24, a guide screw 25, a positioning suction cup 26, and a guide slide 27. The two guide frames 21 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the guide rail 1, respectively. The positioning magnet 22 is snapped onto the surface of the guide frame 21. The two positioning rings 23 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the guide frame 21, respectively. The adjustment handle 24 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the positioning ring 23. The guide screw 25 is welded to the bottom of the adjustment handle 24. The positioning suction cup 26 is threaded to the bottom of the surface of the guide screw 25. The guide slide 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning suction cup 26. The top of the guide slide 27 is connected to the bottom of the positioning ring 23.

[0032] In this embodiment: by setting a guide rail 1 and an adjustment mechanism 2, the guide rail 1 can limit the adjustment mechanism 2 and guide the movement of the positioning mechanism 3. The guide frame 21 can cooperate with the positioning magnet 22 to position the movement of the positioning mechanism 3 by magnetic force. The adjustment handle 24 can cooperate with the positioning ring 23. When the user rotates the adjustment handle 24, the guide screw 25 can be rotated along the positioning ring 23. When the guide screw 25 rotates, it drives the positioning suction cup 26 to move, so that the positioning suction cup 26 can move up and down along the guide slide 27 at the positioning ring 23. The positioning suction cup 26 gradually generates negative pressure as it moves along the guide screw 25, thereby increasing the stability of the positioning suction cup 26 when it is adsorbed to the surface of the equipment.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a traction component 31 and a fixing component 32. The traction component 31 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide frame 21, and the fixing component 32 is fixedly connected to the front side of the traction component 31.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the traction assembly 31 includes a guide plate 311, a positioning slide plate 312, and a limiting magnet 313. The guide plate 311 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide frame 21, and the inner side of the guide plate 311 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 1. The positioning slide plate 312 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide plate 311, and the two limiting magnets 313 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner side of the positioning slide plate 312.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the fixing component 32 includes a damping sleeve 321, a damping slide plate 322, and a spring clamp 323. The damping sleeve 321 is fixedly connected to the front side of the guide plate 311, the damping slide plate 322 is slidably connected to the inner side of the damping sleeve 321, and the spring clamp 323 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front side of the damping slide plate 322.

[0036] In this embodiment: by setting the positioning mechanism 3, the traction component 31 can cooperate with the fixing component 32, and move left and right along the guide rail 1 and the adjustment mechanism 2 via the guide plate 311 and the positioning slide plate 312, thereby adjusting the orientation of the spring capacitor switch to be installed. The limiting magnet 313 can be magnetically attracted to the surface of the adjustment mechanism 2, thereby positioning it by magnetic attraction when it moves to the desired installation position. The damping slide sleeve 321 can limit the up and down movement of the damping slide plate 322, and can be positioned when the damping slide plate 322 drives the spring clamp 323 to move to the desired installation position. The spring clamp 323 can clamp the spring capacitor switch to be installed, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the spring capacitor switch.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, a fixed magnet 324 is snapped onto the front side of the damping sleeve 321, and the rear side of the fixed magnet 324 contacts the front side of the damping slide plate 322.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, a traction magnet 325 is snapped onto the front side of the damping slide plate 322, and the front side of the traction magnet 325 contacts the rear side of the fixed magnet 324.

[0039] In this embodiment: by setting a fixed magnet 324 and a traction magnet 325, the fixed magnet 324 can cooperate with the traction magnet 325. By magnetically attracting each other, the movement of the damping slide plate 322 can be further limited, increasing the stability of the damping slide plate 322 during movement and improving the stability of the spring capacitor switch positioning.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, auxiliary rails 4 are bolted to the top and bottom of the guide rail 1, and the surface of the auxiliary rail 4 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide plate 311 of the positioning slide plate 312.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, an auxiliary magnet 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide screw 25, and the surface of the auxiliary magnet 5 is in contact with the inner side of the positioning suction cup 26.

[0042] In this embodiment: by setting the auxiliary track 4 and the auxiliary magnet 5, the auxiliary track 4 can provide further auxiliary guidance for the movement of the guide plate 311 and the positioning slide plate 312, increasing the stability of the guide plate 311 and the positioning slide plate 312 when they move on the guide track 1. The auxiliary magnet 5 can use magnetic force to make the guide screw 25 adhere to the surface of the equipment when it comes into contact with the equipment surface, thereby initially positioning the guide screw 25 and the positioning suction cup 26, which facilitates the stability of the positioning suction cup 26 when it is subsequently adhered to the surface of the equipment.

[0043] Working principle: First, the spring-loaded capacitor switch is fixed by the spring clamp 323. Then, the positioning suction cup 26 is placed on the equipment where the spring-loaded capacitor switch is to be installed. The user then rotates the adjusting handle 24 to rotate the guide screw 25 along the positioning ring 23. The guide screw 25 will drive the positioning suction cup 26 to move upward gradually. Since the bottom of the positioning suction cup 26 is attached to the surface of the equipment, a negative pressure will be generated under the action of the guide screw 25, thus attaching it to the surface of the equipment and positioning the guide screw 25 and the guide slide 27 on the surface of the equipment. After that, the user pushes the positioning slide plate 312 and the guide plate 311 to move left and right along the guide rail 1 and the guide frame 21 until they move to the position where the spring-loaded capacitor switch is to be installed. Then, the user pushes the damping slide plate 322 to move up and down along the damping slide sleeve 321 until the spring-loaded capacitor switch moves to the required installation position. The positioning magnet 22 will then magnetically position the limit magnet 313.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
