Currently, explosion-proof switches have a single-layer sealed structure, which results in poor sealing at the switch control point and needs improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure includes a switch box and a top cover. The switch box has an inner isolation seat inside, and two terminal blocks are arranged inside the inner isolation seat. A contact plate is arranged on one side of each terminal block. An operating rod is arranged at one end of the terminal block. One end of the operating rod is connected to a push base. One end of the push base is provided with a contact plate, which is located between the two contact plates.
[0006] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, multiple reinforcing side plates are provided between the side of the inner isolating seat and the switch box, and the multiple reinforcing side plates are evenly spaced apart.
[0007] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, the inner isolating seat is provided with a partition, and the interior of the inner isolating seat is divided into an inner chamber and an outer chamber by the partition. The terminal block and push block are located inside the inner chamber.
[0008] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, an isolation chamber is provided inside the outer cavity, and one end of the operating rod passes through the partition and the isolation chamber in sequence and is placed on the outside of the switch box.
[0009] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, two inner support frames are provided on one side of the switch box. One end of each inner support frame is connected to the end of the inner isolation seat, and a guide plate is provided between the two inner support frames.
[0010] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, two sealing rings are provided at the end of the inner isolating seat, an inlet terminal is provided on the outside of the switch box, and a top cover is provided on the top of the switch box.
[0011] In the aforementioned waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure, compression springs are provided on both sides of the inner isolating seat. One end of each compression spring is connected to a compression plate, and the compression plate presses against the outside of the push seat.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model of a waterproof and explosion-proof switch with a multi-seal structure are as follows:
[0013] 1. This application provides an internal isolation seat inside the switch box, where the terminal block, contact box, and contact plate are all located. When the contact and contact plate are energized, the operating lever can be pushed towards the inside of the switch box. The operating lever pushes the push seat inside the internal isolation seat to slide, and the contact at the front end of the push seat is pressed between the two contact plates, thus energizing the contact and contact plate. This provides good protection against electrical leakage.
[0014] 2. This application provides a partition and an isolation chamber at the connection between the operating rod and the switch box. The operating rod needs to pass through the partition and the isolation chamber in sequence to connect with the push plate inside the inner isolation seat. In this way, liquid will not enter the inner isolation seat from the position of the operating rod, thus achieving multiple waterproofing. Attached Figure Description
