Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button assembly technology, and more specifically, to an A / H dual-color button assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The A / H button refers to a button that has two different operating modes or status indicators. "A" represents Automatic mode and "H" represents Hand-operated mode.

[0003] Internally, buttons typically integrate multiple contacts and control circuitry. When a button is pressed to switch modes, the on / off state of the internal contacts changes, triggering the corresponding circuit action to switch between different operating modes of the device. Currently, indicator lights are usually placed in other locations on the workbench where the A / H button is located to display the button's operating status.

[0004] However, when there are many devices on the workbench and the layout is complex, the indicator lights may be obstructed by other equipment components, making it difficult for operators to clearly observe their display status and easily leading to misjudgments. In addition, the separate design increases the wiring complexity of the workbench, which not only increases installation and maintenance costs, but may also cause electromagnetic interference due to excessive wiring, affecting the overall stability and reliability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes an A / H dual-color button assembly.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0007] An A / H dual-color button assembly includes a mounting box, a button body, and a contact plate. The upper surface of the button body is provided with a lampshade. The lampshade is white and translucent, and an indicator light is provided inside the lampshade. The mounting box is provided with a sensing device for sensing the working status of the button body. When the button body is in manual mode, the indicator light is off; when the button body is in automatic mode, the indicator light is on.

[0008] The sensor inside the mounting box monitors the button's operating status in real time. When the button is in manual mode, the circuit for the indicator light is disconnected, and the indicator light goes out. At this time, the white translucent lampshade only displays its own white color, serving as the basic identifier of the button. When the button switches to automatic mode, the sensor detects the change in status and activates the indicator light circuit, causing the indicator light to illuminate. Light passes through the white translucent lampshade, thus changing the color of the lampshade and clearly indicating to the operator that the equipment is currently in automatic mode.

[0009] Integrating the indicator light into the white translucent lampshade of the button body changes the traditional approach of placing indicator lights in other locations on the workbench. Operators no longer need to distract themselves by searching for individual indicator lights when operating the button; their eyes no longer need to switch back and forth between the button and the indicator light. They can directly determine the equipment's operating mode by observing the color change of the lampshade at the top of the button, greatly improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, traditional separate indicator light designs require additional wiring to connect the indicator light and the button, while this component integrates the indicator light, reducing the amount of wiring on the workbench.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a spring is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting box, and a support plate is fixed to the other end of the spring. A connecting hole is provided on the support plate, and a limit ring is provided at the end of the button body located outside the connecting hole. When the button body is pressed, it can overcome the spring force and contact the contact plate, and the button can rotate within the connecting hole along its axis.

[0011] When the operator presses the button body, the button body applies downward pressure to the spring through the limit ring and support plate, eventually overcoming the spring's elastic force and making contact with the contacts on the contact plate. Simultaneously, since the button body can rotate within the connecting hole along its axis, the operator can adjust the button's operating mode by rotating the button body. When the operator releases the button, the spring returns to its original deformation, generating an upward elastic force that pushes the button body back to its initial position, ready for the next operation.

[0012] As a preferred option, the support plate is also provided with an installation ring, and the outer wall of the limiting ring fits against the inner wall of the installation ring.

[0013] The mounting ring design limits the horizontal movement of the limit ring, effectively preventing displacement deviation of the button body during use.

[0014] Preferably, the button body has a battery compartment inside, which contains a battery. A support column is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate, and a conductive rod is fixed to the side wall of the support column. The side wall of the button body has a conductive groove for the conductive rod to extend into. The conductive groove is annular. During the rotation of the button body, the conductive rod is always located in the conductive groove. The upper and lower inner walls of the conductive groove are respectively provided with a positive terminal connector and a negative terminal connector that cooperate with the conductive rod. When the conductive rod moves between the positive terminal connector and the negative terminal connector, the button body switches to automatic mode.

[0015] Based on the existing button component structure, this part of the design achieves circuit on / off by rotating the button body, thereby controlling the indicator light status, and is closely related to the A / H mode.

[0016] When the operator rotates the button body, the conductive groove on the side wall of the button body rotates accordingly. To switch to automatic mode, rotating the button body electrically connects the conductive rod with the positive and negative terminals respectively located on the upper and lower inner walls of the conductive groove, thus forming a complete conductive circuit. Electrical energy from the battery in the battery compartment is transmitted to the indicator light through this circuit, illuminating the light and clearly indicating that the device is currently in automatic mode. This method of indicating different operating modes by controlling the circuit's on / off state through rotating the button body works in conjunction with other components of the button assembly to achieve the function of the A / H dual-color button assembly.

[0017] Preferably, the control system is installed on the top wall of the mounting box. The control system includes a DC motor and an electric push rod, with one end of the electric push rod abutting against the upper surface of the conductive rod. The button body is also equipped with a signal transmitter connected in series with the indicator light, which can send signals to the control system.

[0018] When the button body rotates to switch modes, in manual mode the conductive rod disengages from the conductive groove, and the indicator light goes out; in automatic mode, the conductive rod connects the positive and negative terminals, and the indicator light illuminates. Because the signal transmitter and indicator light are connected in series, changes in the indicator light's state will cause the signal transmitter to respond synchronously.

[0019] The signal transmitter sends a signal to the control system on the top wall of the mounting box. The DC motor and electric push rod in the control system work together. When the control system receives the automatic mode signal, it activates the automatic mode.

[0020] One end of the electric actuator rests against the upper surface of the conductive rod. The extension and retraction of the electric actuator drives the conductive rod and the button body to move. In automatic mode, the electric actuator extends, pushing the conductive rod and the button body upward; in manual mode, the electric actuator retracts, and the button body returns to its original position under the action of a spring. In this way, the button body can move automatically in automatic mode. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the A / H dual-color button assembly in this embodiment mainly consists of a mounting box 110, a button body 120, and a contact plate 130. A spring 150 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting box 110, and the other end of the spring 150 is connected to a support plate 160. The support plate 160 is provided with a connecting hole 1601 and a mounting ring 1602. A limiting ring 1201 is provided at one end of the button body 120 located outside the connecting hole 1601. Its outer wall fits against the inner wall of the mounting ring 1602, so that the button body 120 is stable in the horizontal direction and can rotate along the axis within the connecting hole 1601, and can move vertically with the help of the spring force of the spring 150.

[0030] The button body 120 has a battery compartment inside, powered by a built-in battery. A conductive rod 1604 is fixed to the side wall of the support column 1603 on the upper surface of the support plate 160. An annular conductive groove 1202 is provided on the side wall of the button body 120, ensuring that the conductive rod 1604 remains within the groove during rotation. Positive and negative terminals 1204, which mate with the conductive rod 1604, are located on the upper and lower inner walls of the conductive groove 1202. A white translucent lampshade 1401 is mounted on the upper surface of the button body 120, and an indicator light is installed inside the lampshade 1401. The indicator light is preferably a bright red color.

[0031] The mounting box 110 also contains a sensing device for the working status of the induction button body 120. In addition, a control system including a DC motor and an electric actuator 1702 is arranged on the top wall of the mounting box 110. One end of the electric actuator 1702 abuts against the upper surface of the conductive rod 1604. The button body 120 is equipped with a signal transmitter connected in series with the indicator light, which can send signals to the control system.

[0032] Its specific operating principle is as follows:

[0033] The operator switches the working mode by rotating the main body 120 of the rotary button. During rotation, the conductive rod 1604 rotates within the annular conductive groove 1202. When the conductive rod 1604 moves to the position where it is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1203 and the negative terminal 1204, a conductive circuit is formed, and battery power is transmitted to the indicator light, which lights up. This illuminates the white lampshade 1401, thus changing the color of the lampshade 1401, indicating that the device is in automatic mode. In manual mode, the conductive rod 1604 is not simultaneously connected to the positive and negative terminals 1204, the circuit is broken, the indicator light goes out, and the white lampshade 1401 serves as a basic indicator.

[0034] When the button body 120 rotates, causing the indicator light status to change, the signal transmitter connected in series with the indicator light responds synchronously and sends a signal to the top wall control system. Upon receiving the automatic mode signal, the control system activates the automatic mode and then uses the electric push rod 1702 to control the contacts on the button body 120 and the contact plate 130 to make contact according to the program set inside the control system.

[0035] The above-described design integrates the indicator light into the lamp cover 1401 within the button body 120. Operators can directly determine the operating mode by observing the color change of the lamp cover 1401, eliminating the need to locate a separate indicator light, thus improving operational efficiency and reducing the risk of misjudgment in complex environments. Furthermore, the built-in indicator light reduces workbench wiring, lowers installation and maintenance costs, reduces electromagnetic interference, and enhances the overall stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0036] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this embodiment. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of this embodiment shall fall within the scope of the patent of this embodiment.
