[0033] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides a switch travel monitoring device, which includes a boss plate 8, on which a first boss group and a second boss group are provided; both the first boss group and the second boss group have several bosses with different travel lengths; the bosses of the first boss group and the bosses of the second boss group face opposite directions; the positions of the bosses of the first boss group and the second boss group are matched with the positions of the rollers of the micro switch 20.

[0035] The boss plate structure of this utility model is simple and intuitive. Whether integrally machined or assembled, it can accurately correspond to each pressure control stroke of the hydraulic spring operating mechanism, improving the accuracy of stroke monitoring. The design of the bosses arranged on both sides is different from the conventional hydraulic operating mechanism's limit switch corresponding to alarm pressure control. The pressure control bosses and locking pressure control bosses of this utility model are arranged adjacent to each other, reducing the machining difficulty of the boss plate 8 and facilitating installation and operation.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A switch travel monitoring device according to this embodiment includes a boss plate 8, on which a single protruding block is provided.

[0038] The boss plate 8 is a rectangular plate, and the protruding block is arranged along one diagonal of the boss plate 8.

[0039] The two sides of the protruding block have a first group of protrusions and a second group of protrusions, respectively.

[0040] Both the first boss group and the second boss group have several bosses with different stroke lengths, and the bosses in the first boss group and the bosses in the second boss group have opposite platform orientations.

[0041] The orientation of each boss is parallel to the straight line of the long side of the boss plate 8.

[0042] Specifically, the bosses of the first boss group and the bosses of the second boss group have the same height.

[0043] The platform positions of the first boss group and the second boss group are matched with the roller position of the micro switch 20.

[0044] The first boss group includes a rated pressure control boss 1, a reclosing alarm pressure control boss 2, a closing pressure alarm control boss 3, and a opening pressure alarm control boss 4.

[0045] The second boss group includes a reclosing interlocking pressure control boss 5, a tripping interlocking pressure control boss 6, and a closing interlocking pressure control boss 7.

[0046] The stroke lengths of the rated pressure control boss 1, the reclosing alarm pressure control boss 2, the closing pressure alarm control boss 3, and the opening pressure alarm control boss 4 increase sequentially, as do the stroke lengths of the reclosing lockout pressure control boss 5, the opening lockout pressure control boss 6, and the closing lockout pressure control boss 7.

[0047] In this embodiment, a boss plate of a switch travel monitoring device is manufactured by selecting a flat plate according to the specific travel monitoring requirements of the hydraulic spring mechanism, and using processing equipment to directly process multiple bosses of different lengths on the whole flat plate.

[0048] During the manufacturing process, ensure that its relative dimensions are the same as the relative dimensions of each energy storage stroke monitoring of the hydraulic spring operating mechanism.

[0049] After processing, the boss plate 8 is fixedly installed on the movable table 19 below the micro switch 20 with screws.

[0050] When the hydraulic spring mechanism performs energy storage or pressure release operations, the movable platform 19 below the micro switch 20 drives the boss plate 8 to slide. The bosses on the boss plate 8 contact the rollers of the micro switch 20 in sequence, driving the opening and closing points of the micro switch piece to switch and output corresponding signals, thereby realizing accurate monitoring of the stroke of the hydraulic spring operating mechanism.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] A switch travel monitoring device according to this embodiment includes a boss plate 8, and the bottom surface of the boss plate 8 has a plurality of mounting holes.

[0053] The boss plate 8 is a rectangular plate. The boss plate 8 has a first boss group and a second boss group.

[0054] Specifically, both the first boss group and the second boss group have several boss strip plates with different stroke lengths.

[0055] The first end of the boss strip plate of the first boss group and the first end of the boss strip plate of the second boss group are respectively set on the two short sides of the boss plate 8; the second end of the boss strip plate of the first boss group and the second end of the boss strip plate of the second boss group are both table surfaces that match the position of the roller of the micro switch 20.

[0056] The long axis of the boss strip is parallel to the long side of the boss plate 8.

[0057] Specifically, the heights of the boss strip plates in the first boss group and the second boss group are the same.

[0058] The first boss group includes a rated pressure control boss strip plate 12, a reclosing alarm pressure control boss strip plate 13, a closing pressure alarm control boss strip plate 14, and a opening pressure alarm control boss strip plate 9.

[0059] The second boss group includes a reclosing interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 15, a tripping interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 11, and a closing interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 10.

[0060] The stroke lengths of the rated pressure control boss strip plate 12, the reclosing alarm pressure control boss strip plate 13, the closing pressure alarm control boss strip plate 14, and the opening pressure alarm control boss strip plate 9 increase sequentially.

[0061] The second boss group includes a reclosing interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 15, a tripping interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 11, and a closing interlocking pressure control boss strip plate 10, with the stroke lengths increasing sequentially.

[0062] Specifically, each of the boss strip plates is mounted on top of the boss plate 8 via mounting screws 16 and mounting holes on the bottom surface of the boss plate 8. The mounting screws 16 pass from the bottom of the boss plate 8 to the top of the boss plate 8. The bottom of the boss strip plate has several blind holes corresponding to the positions of the mounting holes on the boss plate 8.

[0063] In this embodiment, the boss plate of the switch travel monitoring device is manufactured by first preparing a flat plate and a narrow strip plate made of the same material to ensure consistent performance.

[0064] The narrow strip plate is assembled onto the flat plate using mounting screws 16, ensuring that the relative positions of each boss strip plate are accurate and that the dimensions of the boss strip plate are the same as the relative dimensions of each energy storage stroke monitoring of the hydraulic spring operating mechanism.

[0065] After assembly, the flatness and dimensional accuracy of the entire boss plate 8 are checked to ensure it meets the usage requirements. Then, the assembled boss plate is installed on the movable platform 19 below the micro switch 20. During equipment operation, the boss plate 8 slides along the movable platform 19 below the micro switch 20, enabling the monitoring of the stroke of the hydraulic spring operating mechanism.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] This embodiment of a hydraulic spring operating mechanism spring energy storage limit switch includes a switch travel monitoring device and a micro switch 20. A movable platform 19 is provided below the micro switch 20, and the boss plate 8 is mounted on the movable platform.

[0068] In summary, the switch travel monitoring device of this utility model effectively solves the problems in the prior art through the unique structural design and processing method of the boss plate 8.

[0069] Unless otherwise specified, the equipment components involved in the above embodiments are all conventional equipment components, and the structural settings, working methods or control methods involved are all conventional settings, working methods or control methods in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
