Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch housings, and in particular to a micro switch housing. Background Technology

[0002] Microswitches are switching elements widely used in various electrical appliances and automation equipment. Their main function is to control the switching of circuits through minute mechanical movements. Due to their sensitivity and precision, microswitches are widely used in industrial automation, home appliances, and security equipment.

[0003] However, in actual use, equipment in some industrial environments is often subjected to external impacts or vibrations, such as the operation of machinery or the bumps during transportation. These external factors may cause unexpected pressure on the microswitch's actuation button, triggering the switch and causing malfunctions. Furthermore, operators may accidentally touch the microswitch's actuation button due to improper operation, negligence, or misunderstanding of equipment instructions. For example, during equipment maintenance or adjustment, operators may inadvertently touch the button, causing the equipment to start or stop unprepared. This not only affects the normal operation of the equipment but may also cause safety hazards and economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The micro switch housing shown includes: a switch housing 1, with a button through slot 11 at the bottom to facilitate the insertion of a button; a button limiting device 2, which is inserted and installed on one side of the switch housing 1 to limit the button's position. The button limiting device 2 includes: a mounting mechanism 21, which is installed on the outside of the switch housing 1; an elastic support mechanism 22, which is slidably inserted and connected to the mounting mechanism 21; a limiting seat 23, which is connected to one end of the elastic support mechanism 22 and is used to limit the micro switch button's position; and a support assembly 24. The support component 24 is connected to the other end of the elastic support mechanism 22, and the support component 24 is used to support and position the elastic support mechanism 22. The elastic support mechanism 22 facilitates the adjustment of the extension and retraction position of the limit seat 23. The extension of the limit seat 23 facilitates the restraint of the touch button of the micro switch, preventing accidental button touch due to user error, thus triggering the micro switch and ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the micro switch. The support component 24 facilitates the support of the elastic support mechanism 22, so that the limit seat 23 can remain in a retracted state, so that it will not obstruct the button when using the micro switch, and will not affect the normal touch of the button.

[0033] The installation mechanism 21 includes: a limiting cylinder 211, which has a cavity inside; and an ear plate 212, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting cylinder 211 and is bolted to the switch housing 1. The limiting cylinder 211 facilitates the installation and limiting of the spring 222, and the ear plate 212 facilitates the installation of the limiting cylinder 211.

[0034] The elastic support mechanism 22 includes: a connecting rod 221, which is slidably inserted and connected to the limiting cylinder 211 and the switch housing 1; and a spring 222, which is disposed inside the limiting cylinder 211 and sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 221. A pressure ring 223 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 221. The pressure ring 223 is used to limit the spring 222. The compression deformation of the spring 222 facilitates the elastic support of the pressure ring 223, thereby allowing the limiting seat 23 to extend and limit the position of the button. The pressure ring 223 facilitates the compression of the spring 222 when the connecting rod 221 slides, and the spring force of the spring 222 is used for reset.

[0035] The limiting seat 23 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 221. The bottom of the limiting seat 23 has a first slot 231 and the top of the limiting seat 23 has a second slot 232. The depth of the first slot 231 is less than the depth of the second slot 232. The connecting rod 221 has a circular cross-section, which allows the connecting rod 221 to drive the limiting seat 23 to rotate 180 degrees relative to the switch housing 1, so that the positions of the first slot 231 and the second slot 232 on the limiting seat 23 can be interchanged, which is convenient for limiting and blocking buttons of different thicknesses.

[0036] Specifically, the support assembly 24 includes: a mounting pull plate 241, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 221, and the diameter of the mounting pull plate 241 is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 221. The support assembly 24 also includes: a support rotating plate 242, with mounting grooves at both the top and bottom of the mounting pull plate 241. One end of the support rotating plate 242 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting groove, and a corresponding limiting groove 2111 is provided on the limiting cylinder 211. The other end of the support rotating plate 242 cooperates with the inner cavity of the limiting groove 2111. Through the elastic support of the spring 222, the limiting seat 23 is kept in a limited position. By pulling the mounting pull plate 241, the connecting rod 221 drives the pressure ring 223 towards the mounting pull plate 241. The movement in direction 1 compresses and deforms the spring 222, while also facilitating the storage of the limiting seat 23. Then, the support rotating plate 242 is rotated until it is perpendicular to the mounting pull plate 241, and then inserted into the limiting groove 2111. The support rotating plate 242 supports the mounting pull plate 241 to maintain the stored state of the limiting seat 23. The limiting groove 2111 facilitates the limiting of the vertical support rotating plate 242, making the support of the support rotating plate 242 more stable.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
