Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of micro switch technology, and is a micro switch for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive microswitches are electronic switches with tiny contact gaps and a fast-feed mechanism. They are widely used in various automotive function controls. A microswitch is a contact mechanism with tiny contact gaps and a fast-acting mechanism that performs switching actions with a specified stroke and a specified force. It is covered by a housing and has a drive rod on the outside. It is named a microswitch because its contact gap is relatively small.

[0003] During vehicle operation, external forces can cause the connection between the microswitch and the wiring harness to loosen or even fall off, affecting signal transmission and circuit conduction, thus preventing the relevant functions from being performed normally. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the automotive micro switch includes:

[0035] A micro switch 1, wherein a male connector 2 is mounted on the side surface of the micro switch 1, the male connector 2 is plugged into and connected to a female connector 4, and the female connector 4 is connected to a terminal block 8 via a wire 9;

[0036] Anti-detachment component 5, which is located on one side of micro switch 1, is used to prevent the male connector 2 from detaching from the female connector 4;

[0037] The protective component 7 is installed on the surface of the conductor 9 and is used for abrasion protection of the surface of the conductor 9.

[0038] Connect the male and female connectors, and electrically connect the terminals to the micro switch 1 via wire 9. Simultaneously, the male connector drives the locking plate 53 into the housing 51. The slot 54 at the top of the locking plate 53 engages with the bottom of the top locking block 522. Under the elastic action of the spring 523, the spring 523 pushes the connecting plate 521 to engage the locking block 522 within the slot 54, achieving a limiting and anti-detachment effect for the locking block 522 on the locking plate 53. This ensures a stable connection between the male and female connectors and prevents the micro switch 1 from detaching from the wiring harness. Signal transmission and circuit conduction enable the normal operation of related functions. By wrapping the sealant filling layer 73 around the surface of the wire 9, the protective component 7 is tightly fitted onto the surface of the wire 9. The outer jacket 71 protects the wire 9 from wear and tear, preventing the wire 9 from direct contact with hard objects such as the body sheet metal and metal brackets. This avoids long-term friction that could damage the insulation layer and ensures the service life of the wire 9. The label plate 62 facilitates the identification of names and wiring diagrams, making subsequent connections easier, reducing installation difficulty for workers, and improving efficiency.

[0039] The micro switch 1 has multiple fixing posts 3 on one side, which are used for mounting the micro switch 1.

[0040] The anti-detachment component 5 includes a retaining shell 51, an anti-detachment part 52, and a retaining plate 53. The retaining shell 51 is fixedly connected to the top side of the female connector, and the retaining plate 53 is fixedly connected to the right side of the micro switch 1. The surface of the retaining plate 53 is provided with a retaining groove 54, and the anti-detachment part 52 is installed on the top side of the retaining shell 51.

[0041] Connect the male and female connectors, and electrically connect the terminals to the micro switch 1 via wire 9. The male connector simultaneously drives the locking plate 53 to snap into the housing 51. The slot 54 at the top of the locking plate 53 engages with the bottom of the top locking block 522. Under the elastic action of the spring 523, the spring 523 pushes the connecting plate 521 to engage the locking block 522 in the slot 54, thereby achieving the limiting and anti-detachment effect of the locking block 522 on the locking plate 53. This ensures the stable connection between the male and female connectors, prevents the connection between the micro switch 1 and the wiring harness from detaching, ensures signal transmission and circuit conduction, and enables the normal operation of related functions to meet usage requirements.

[0042] The anti-detachment part 52 includes a connecting plate 521, a locking block 522, a locking shell 51, and a spring 523. The locking block 522 slides through the top surface of the locking shell 51. The connecting plate 521 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the locking block 522. The spring 523 is installed on the bottom side of the connecting plate 521.

[0043] There are two springs 523, which are symmetrically distributed about the locking block 522, and the springs 523 are used to elastically connect the connecting plate 521 and the top side of the locking case 51.

[0044] The card block 522 penetrates the top surface of the female connector, the top of the card block 522 slides through the top side of the card case 51, and the bottom of the card block 522 engages with the card slot 54 opened on the top surface of the card plate 53.

[0045] The protective component 7 includes an outer jacket 71, a woven mesh sleeve, a sealant filling layer 73, and a partition plate 74. The inner wall of the outer jacket 71 is provided with a woven mesh sleeve, and the inner wall of the woven mesh sleeve is provided with a sealant filling layer 73.

[0046] By wrapping the sealant filling layer 73 around the surface of the wire 9, the protective component 7 is tightly fitted onto the surface of the wire 9. The outer jacket 71 protects the wire 9 from wear and tear, preventing the wire 9 from directly contacting hard objects such as the body sheet metal or metal brackets. This avoids long-term friction that could damage the insulation layer and ensures the service life of the wire 9.

[0047] The adjacent contact surfaces of the outer jacket 71, the woven mesh sleeve, the sealant filling layer 73, and the wire 9 are tightly fitted together.

[0048] A partition plate 74 is fixedly connected to the middle of the sealant filling layer 73, and wires 9 penetrating the sealant filling layer 73 are provided on both sides of the partition plate 74.

[0049] The outer casing 71 is equipped with a label mechanism 6, which includes a sleeve 61 and a label plate 62. The sleeve 61 is sleeved on the outer surface of the outer casing 71, and the label plate 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sleeve 61. The label plate 62 can identify the name and wiring diagram, which facilitates subsequent connection.

[0050] The label plate 62 facilitates the identification of names and wiring diagrams, making subsequent connections easier, reducing installation difficulty for workers, and improving efficiency.

[0051] The circuits, electronic components, and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
