Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof limit switch technology, specifically a novel explosion-proof limit switch. Background Technology

[0002] Limit switches, also known as position switches, are a type of commonly used low-current control electrical device. They utilize the impact of moving parts in production machinery to actuate their contacts, thereby connecting or disconnecting control circuits to achieve specific control objectives. Typically, these switches are used to limit the position or travel of mechanical movement, causing the machinery to automatically stop, reverse, change speed, or automatically reciprocate at a certain position or travel distance.

[0003] Currently, existing explosion-proof limit switches typically achieve control by having contacts that come into contact with objects. However, during use, malfunctions in the mechanical components can cause deformation of the lever. After replacement, the roller position is difficult to accurately reset, making it inconvenient to reinstall the replaced lever. Furthermore, the fixed connection position of the limit switch during installation necessitates customizing the connection structure based on the connection location, which is inconvenient and limits the switch's connection position.
