AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

After the electromagnetic switch is sealed, water vapor cannot exchange with the external air pressure, causing water vapor to condense into water droplets, freeze, or corrode parts, resulting in electromagnetic switch failure.

Method used

Design an electromagnetic switch with a vent plug. The vent plug has a vent membrane that is connected to the inner cavity of the electromagnetic switch to form a gas exchange channel, thereby expelling water vapor from the inner cavity and preventing condensation.

Benefits of technology

This effectively prevents water vapor from condensing into water droplets, freezing, or corroding, ensuring the normal operation of the electromagnetic switch and improving reliability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electromagnetic switch technology, and specifically relates to an electromagnetic switch with a vent plug for commercial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As OEMs demand increasingly higher levels of sealing from starters, the sealing performance of electromagnetic switches has been upgraded to IP67. However, moisture generated during use tends to concentrate inside the electromagnetic switch, preventing it from exchanging with external air pressure. This causes water droplets to form after cooling and remain inside the switch, leading to ice formation on the contacts in winter and corrosion and jamming of internal components in summer. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an electromagnetic switch with a vent plug for commercial vehicles, which can solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model embodiment provides an electromagnetic switch for commercial vehicles with a vent plug, including an electromagnetic switch cover component (1), a vent plug (2), a vent membrane (3), a water nozzle (4), and an electromagnetic switch body (5). The electromagnetic switch cover component (1) is installed at the bottom of the electromagnetic switch body (5). A stepped hole is pressed on the electromagnetic switch cover component (1), and the vent plug (2) is assembled in the stepped hole. The inner cavity of the electromagnetic switch body (5) is connected to the vent plug (2). The vent membrane (3) is disposed on the vent plug (2). The water nozzle (4) is installed on the outer end face of the electromagnetic switch cover component (1) and is located directly above the vent plug (2).

[0006] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, the vent plug (2) and the inner hole of the electromagnetic switch cover component (1) are interference-fitted by three rings of ribs on the outer circle of the vent plug to ensure a sealing effect.

[0007] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, the water nozzle (4) is held in place by a barb at the round hole on the end face of the electromagnetic switch cover component (1) to prevent external paint and mud contaminants from clogging the breathable membrane (3).

[0008] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, the breathable membrane (3) is fixed to the end face of the breathable plug (2) by dispensing adhesive.

[0009] Beneficial effects: This utility model embodiment provides an electromagnetic switch with a vent plug for commercial vehicles. The electromagnetic switch is designed with a vent plug. When the high-pressure water vapor generated in the inner cavity of the electromagnetic switch during use, it is discharged out of the cavity through the polymer breathable membrane on the vent plug, so that the inner cavity of the electromagnetic switch forms an exchange channel with the outside air. This avoids the electromagnetic switch from failing due to the water vapor condensing into water droplets and causing the contacts to freeze or rust. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides an electromagnetic switch for commercial vehicles with a vent plug, including an electromagnetic switch cover component 1, a vent plug 2, a vent membrane 3, a water nozzle 4, and an electromagnetic switch body 5. The electromagnetic switch cover component 1 is installed at the bottom of the electromagnetic switch body 5, and a stepped hole is pressed into the electromagnetic switch cover component 1. The vent plug 2 is fitted into the stepped hole, and the inner cavity of the electromagnetic switch body 5 communicates with the vent plug 2.
