Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of motor switch equipment, specifically relating to a waterproof switch assembly for a motor limit switch. Background Technology
[0002] In the smart home field, curtain motors are key components for automating curtain opening and closing, and their ease of operation and stability are crucial. Existing curtain motor switches mostly use traditional mechanical button structures, with the buttons mounted on the housing and a gap between them. In daily use, especially in humid and dusty areas like bathrooms and kitchens, moisture and dust can easily penetrate the buttons through these gaps. Moisture intrusion can cause the metal contacts on the internal circuit board to rust and short-circuit, affecting the button's conductivity and leading to malfunctions or even complete motor failure. Furthermore, fine particles like dust in the air can also enter through these gaps, accumulating inside the button, affecting its normal use, reducing its lifespan, increasing user costs, and impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a waterproof switch assembly for a motor limit switch.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: A waterproof switch assembly for a motor limiter is installed on a motor, including a fixed sleeve, a support body at the upper end of the fixed sleeve, and a limiter upper seat located at the upper end of the support body. A switch circuit board with a switch button is installed inside the fixed sleeve, and a flexible waterproof sleeve covering the switch circuit board is provided at the upper end of the fixed sleeve. A conversion rod is vertically movable inside the support body, and a pressing seat corresponding to the switch button is located above the flexible waterproof sleeve at the lower end of the conversion rod. A button body with one end protruding outside the limiter upper cover is horizontally movable inside the limiter upper seat. A button direction conversion mechanism is provided between the button body and the conversion rod, which can drive the conversion rod to move vertically up and down when the button body is subjected to external force and moves horizontally. The flexible waterproof sleeve can provide waterproof protection for the switch circuit board, improving the service life of the switch circuit board. The button direction conversion mechanism facilitates the button body to press and push the conversion rod, making it convenient for users to operate and improving the user experience.
[0005] In the aforementioned waterproof switch assembly for a motor limiter, the upper seat of the limiter is provided with a horizontally arranged movable groove. One end of the movable groove has a button hole, and the button body is movably disposed in the movable groove through a button elastic reset structure.
