Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switchgear technology, and more specifically to a double-layer contact switch. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional contact switches, when controlling multi-circuit circuits, typically employ multiple independent switches connected in parallel or use complex wiring to achieve multi-path conduction, resulting in a bulky overall structure and large installation space requirements. For example, existing technologies often require two independent spring structures to achieve dual-circuit control, triggered synchronously by a linkage mechanism. This not only increases the number of parts and production costs but also leads to poor contact stability and asynchronous conduction due to separate contact points. Furthermore, the springs of such switches are often exposed, lacking effective protection and prone to oxidation or short circuits in humid or dusty environments, affecting their service life. While some solutions improve protection by adding protective covers, the connection between the cover and the base is complex, disassembly and maintenance are difficult, and the exposed connection points between the springs and wires still pose safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact, reliable, and highly protective double-layer contact switch to simplify multi-circuit control structures and improve safety performance. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a double-layer contact switch. This double-layer contact switch arranges four sets of spring contacts in layers through two mounting slots arranged side by side on the base and a layered stepped structure, so that a single switch can simultaneously control two independent circuits. Compared with the traditional double-switch solution, it reduces the installation space by 50%, avoids multi-switch linkage errors, and improves control accuracy.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A double-layer contact switch includes a base, spring contacts, a protective cover, and a contact seat. The base has two mounting slots arranged side by side, each containing a first step and a second step, which are staggered vertically. Four spring contacts are provided, each positioned on the first and second steps of the two mounting slots, with one end of each spring contact fixed by a fixing bolt. The base has wire insertion holes at one end of each of the first and second steps of the two mounting slots. The protective cover is mounted on the base and covers the mounting slots and spring contacts. The contact seat can extend into the protective cover and simultaneously contact and connect with all four spring contacts.
[0006] Furthermore, both the first and second steps are provided with mounting holes, and the mounting holes are provided with internal threads. The spring piece is provided with a through hole, and the fixing bolt passes through the through hole and extends into the mounting hole for threaded connection.
[0007] Furthermore, a pressure plate is provided between the fixing bolt and the spring.
[0008] Furthermore, the base has several slots on both sides, and the bottom of the cover has several elastic plates on both sides. The elastic plates are inserted into the slots for snap-fit connection.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective cover is provided with two slots arranged side by side, which are directly opposite the two mounting slots on the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the contact end of the contact seat is U-shaped, and the U-shaped contact end includes an upper contact layer and a lower contact layer. The upper contact layer can contact and communicate with two spring pieces installed on the first step of the two mounting slots, respectively, and the lower contact layer can contact and communicate with two spring pieces installed on the second step of the two mounting slots, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is provided with several connection holes.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This utility model comprises a base, spring contacts, a protective cover, and a contact seat. An installation groove is provided on the base, with a first step and a second step in each of the two grooves. Four spring contacts are installed on the first and second steps of the two grooves, respectively. This allows the base and spring contacts to be directly connected to two sets of wire circuits for switching on and off, eliminating the need for a traditional contact switch that connects to a single wire and then to two separate wire circuits. This simplifies wiring and provides better overall protection. When connecting the two sets of wire circuits, the contact seat only needs to contact the four spring contacts simultaneously, allowing for rapid connection between the two circuits.
[0014] (1) Dual-loop integrated control: Four sets of spring contacts are arranged in layers through two mounting slots and a layered step structure on the base, so that a single switch can synchronously control two independent circuits. This reduces the installation space by 50% compared to the traditional dual-switch scheme, avoids multi-switch linkage errors, and improves control accuracy.
[0015] (2) Modular wiring design: The wire insertion hole corresponds one-to-one with the spring fixing end, realizing "one hole and one line" direct connection, eliminating the redundant connection of the jumper wire in the traditional switch, and reducing contact resistance and failure rate. The mating structure of the pressure plate and bolts ensures that the wire is firmly crimped and prevents loosening.
[0016] (3) Three-dimensional protection system: The protective cover is connected to the base through an elastic clamp to form a fully enclosed protective cavity, achieving an IP54 protection level. The slot and the U-shaped end of the contact seat adopt a labyrinth-type matching structure, which can guide the contact seat to be inserted accurately and prevent foreign objects from entering, taking into account both ease of operation and environmental adaptability.
[0017] (4) Enhanced synchronous conduction: The U-shaped contact end of the contact seat adopts a layered conductive layer design, which synchronously presses four sets of spring contacts at the moment of insertion, with a conduction time difference of less than 0.1ms, ensuring synchronous transmission of current in the dual circuit. The hemispherical metal contact at the end of the spring contact and the surface contact mode of the contact layer reduce arc loss by 80% compared with the traditional point contact method.
[0018] (5) Quick Maintenance Features: The plug-in connection between the flexible card plate and the card slot allows for manual disassembly and assembly of the protective cover, enabling tool-free inspection or replacement of the spring clips. The standardized connection holes at the bottom of the base support both rail mounting and wall mounting modes, adapting to different scenario requirements. Attached Figure Description

The base has 8 wire insertion holes at one end of each of the first and second steps of the two 3 mounting slots. The protective cover is mounted on the base and covers the 3 mounting slots and the 12 spring pieces. The contact seat can extend into the protective cover and simultaneously contact and connect with the four 12 spring pieces.
[0029] Preferably, the first step 4 and the second step 5 are each provided with a mounting hole 6, the mounting hole 6 is provided with an internal thread, the spring piece 12 is provided with a through hole, and the fixing bolt 13 passes through the through hole and extends into the mounting hole 6 for threaded connection, thereby realizing the installation of the spring piece 12.

This simplifies wiring and provides better overall protection. When connecting the two sets of wire circuits, the 9 contact seats and the four spring contacts (12) make simultaneous contact, enabling rapid connection between the two circuits.

The 10 slot and the U-shaped end of the 9 contact seat adopt a labyrinth-type matching structure, which can guide the 9 contact seat to be inserted accurately and prevent foreign objects from entering, taking into account both ease of operation and environmental adaptability.
[0040] (4) Enhanced synchronous conduction: The U-shaped contact end of the 9-contact base adopts a layered conductive layer design, which synchronously presses four sets of 12 spring contacts at the moment of insertion, with a conduction time difference of less than 0.1ms, ensuring synchronous transmission of current in the dual circuit. The hemispherical metal contact at the end of the 12 spring contacts and the surface contact mode of the contact layer reduce arc loss by 80% compared with the traditional point contact method.
