Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing structure technology, specifically to a gear switch with a sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] The gear shift switch is a key component in a car's transmission system, responsible for sensing and transmitting gear position signals. It is typically mounted on the transmission and works closely with the shift mechanism to accurately detect changes in the shift lever's position and convert these signals into electrical signals that are transmitted to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). The accuracy and reliability of the gear shift switch are crucial for the normal operation of the vehicle, directly affecting the smoothness of shifting and the driving experience. A malfunction can lead to problems such as incorrect gear display and difficulty shifting.
[0003] Most gear shift switches on the market currently use a combined sealing method, which uses a rubber sealing gasket and a rectangular / O-shaped cross-section sealing ring to squeeze each other to achieve a switch seal, preventing transmission fluid from entering the switch and contaminating the contacts, causing poor contact. However, this sealing method is costly, has many parts, lacks positioning, and is prone to missing or misplacing the sealing ring during assembly, resulting in seal failure. Moreover, this combined sealing method relies solely on the squeezing of the sealing gasket and sealing ring at the contact point for sealing, which is not very reliable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gear switch with a sealing structure to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. This invention enables the sealing structure to form three sealing positions with the outer shell and the plug assembly through compression, making the sealing effect more reliable. At the same time, compared with the traditional sealing structure, the sealing ring is eliminated, and the switch sealing can be achieved by using a sealing flat gasket in conjunction with the outer shell and the plug assembly, which effectively reduces material and labor costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A stop switch with a sealing structure includes a housing, a push rod, a sealing flat gasket, a plug assembly, and a bushing;
[0007] The bushing is fitted inside the plug assembly. One end of the bushing is connected to the sealing gasket, and the other end is connected to the plug assembly. The end of the plug assembly closer to the bushing is connected to the sealing gasket, and the end of the sealing gasket furthest from the bushing is connected to the push rod. The push rod, sealing gasket, plug assembly, and bushing are all installed inside the housing.
[0008] The sealing gasket has sealing structures at both ends;
[0009] Furthermore, the sealing structure includes a first protrusion structure and a second protrusion structure;
[0010] The first protruding structure is arranged at one end of the sealing flat gasket close to the ejector rod, and the second protruding structure is arranged at one end of the sealing flat gasket close to the plug assembly.

[0012] Further, the width of the first positioning groove and the first protruding structure is 1.6-1.85 mm.
[0013] Further, a second positioning groove is formed at one end of the plug assembly close to the sealing flat gasket, and the second positioning groove is matched with the second protruding structure.
[0014] Further, the width of the second positioning groove and the second protruding structure is 1.475-1.525 mm.
[0015] Further, one end of the plug assembly close to the bushing is connected with the middle part of the sealing flat gasket.
[0016] Further, the end of the ejector rod away from the sealing flat gasket penetrates the shell.
[0017] Further, the end of the plug assembly away from the sealing flat gasket is located outside the shell.
[0018] Further, the sealing flat gasket is a rubber gasket.

[0020] The utility model provides a gear switch with sealing structure, through setting up sealing structure at both ends of sealing flat gasket respectively, make sealing structure and shell and plug assembly between through extrusion formed 3 sealed positions, can make switch have better oil proof performance, avoid switch because oil liquid / oil gas enters and cause contact point pollution, on off failure, make sealing effect more reliable, simultaneously still compare to traditional sealing structure cancelled sealing ring, only use sealing flat gasket cooperation shell and plug assembly can realize switch sealing, effectively reduced material and manual cost.
[0021] Further, by setting the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure, when the switch is riveted and sealed, the plug assembly moves to the left under the riveting pressure, i.e. moves to the sealing flat gasket direction, extrudes the sealing flat gasket to the switch shell, further makes the plug assembly and the sealing flat gasket fully adhere to each other through the third sealing position, generates the first sealing position and the second sealing position between the sealing flat gasket and the shell, further makes the shell and the sealing flat gasket fully adhere to each other through the first sealing position and the second sealing position, the oil liquid direction moves from the ejector rod to the sealing flat gasket direction, and thus realizes the switch sealing, prevents the oil liquid from entering the switch interior, and the sealing effect is more reliable.
[0022] Further, by opening the first positioning groove inside the shell, the first protruding structure of the sealing flat gasket is avoided from being installed eccentrically, the first protruding structure inside the groove is deformed (radially expanded) under the action of axial riveting pressure, and is completely matched with the first positioning groove, so that the sealing effect is further enhanced; meanwhile, compared with the old structure, the sealing ring is omitted, the sealing flat gasket is used in cooperation with the first positioning groove of the shell, switch sealing can be realized, and material and labor costs are effectively reduced.

[0024] Further, the rubber material has excellent elasticity and deformation recovery ability, can tightly fill the micro gaps of the contact surface through compression deformation, forms an effective sealing barrier, and compared with the hard plastic or metal gasket, the rubber gasket can better adapt to the size deviation (such as thermal expansion and mechanical vibration) under the dynamic working condition of the gear switch, and ensures the sealing reliability during long-term use.
