Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic system control switch technology, and in particular to a pilot cut-off switch. Background Technology
[0002] Pilot-operated shut-off switches are commonly used in construction machinery to control whether various actions can be performed. The pilot valve is generally controlled by manually operating the pilot shut-off lever.
[0003] In existing pilot-operated shut-off switches, the pilot shut-off rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and rotates to control the opening and closing of the pilot valve. A rotating shaft with one end passing through the center of the shaft seat is also provided to ensure smooth rotation. The shaft seat is fixed to the armrest box bracket and limits the rotation angle of the rotating shaft through its own flange. The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to a tension spring. Through a specific angle arrangement, it provides assistance in the latter half of the rotation of the rotating shaft in both directions and provides a stable locking force after reaching the limit. However, the pilot-operated shut-off switch with the above structure will cause the rotating shaft to quickly rebound to the end limit point due to the elasticity or inertia of the tension spring, resulting in vibration and noise in the pilot-operated shut-off switch, which has room for optimization.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a pilot cut-off switch. Utility Model Content

[0020] Furthermore, the elastic component includes a tension spring;
[0021] The inner protrusion of the bracket forms a buckle for fixing one end of the tension spring;
[0022] The other end of the tension spring is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft away from the pilot cut-off rod.
[0023] Furthermore, in the static state, the two ends of the tension spring are located on the same vertical line;
[0024] Under the control of the pilot cutting rod, the end of the tension spring connected to the rotating shaft gradually moves away from the fixed end of the tension spring.
[0025] Furthermore, a limiting member is formed on the end face of the bearing seat away from the pilot cutting rod, and the limiting member is located on the rotation path of the rotating shaft on the same side.
[0026] Furthermore, the rotating shaft includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft fixedly disposed on both ends of the intermediate block, and the axes of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are offset.
[0027] The bearing seat and the buffer component are sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft, and the end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the pilot cut-off rod.
[0028] Furthermore, the buffer component is configured to apply a nonlinear resistance torque to the rotational motion of the rotating shaft.
[0029] Furthermore, the magnitude of the nonlinear resistance torque applied by the buffer component to the rotating shaft is positively correlated with the rotational speed of the rotating shaft.

[0053] In this embodiment, the setting position of the rotary damper 40 is defined by the setting of the damper mounting plate 60, and the meshing relationship between the rotor on the rotary damper 40 and the rotating shaft 20 is ensured, so that the rotary damper 40 provides reverse torque during the rotation of the rotating shaft 20.

The external fastener 70 is inserted into the coaxially aligned first limiting hole and the second limiting hole to fix the bearing seat 50 and the bracket 10, and the external fastener 70 is inserted into the coaxially aligned first limiting hole and the third limiting hole to fix the damper mounting plate 60 and the bracket 10.
[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, the bearing seat 50 is provided with a second limiting hole and a third limiting hole. The third limiting hole on the bearing seat 50 and the third limiting hole on the damper mounting plate 60 are coaxially aligned when the damper mounting plate 60 is stacked on the bearing seat 50, so that the external fasteners 70 can be inserted and fixed.
[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the diameters of the first limiting hole, the second limiting hole, and the third limiting hole are equal.

[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, the external fastener 70 is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 20 to ensure the convenience of the assembly process.
[0059] In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the shaft seat 50 and the damper mounting plate 60 and the bracket 10 is ensured by the insertion and fixing of the external fastener 70, thereby ensuring the setting position of the rotating shaft 20 on the bracket 10, and the eccentric rotation within a limited range during the rotation of the rotating shaft 20, that is, ensuring the normal operation of the pilot cut-off switch.
[0060] More specifically, the elastic component includes a tension spring 80; the inner protrusion of the bracket 10 forms a retaining ring 12 for fixing one end of the tension spring 80; the other end of the tension spring 80 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 20 away from the pilot cut-off rod 30.

[0062] In this embodiment, due to the eccentric shaft structure of the rotating shaft 20, the end of the second rotating shaft 22 connected to the tension spring 80 will move away from the fixed end of the tension spring 80. Therefore, the tension spring 80 is stretched under the movement of the second rotating shaft 22, forming an elastic force that pulls the rotating shaft 20 back to its initial position.
[0063] More specifically, a limiting element is formed on the end face of the bearing seat 50 away from the pilot cut-off rod 30, and the limiting element is located on the rotation path of the rotating shaft 20 on the same side.
[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, the limiting member protrusion is provided on the edge of the bearing seat 50 to form a flange structure on the bearing seat 50.
[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, the limiting member is disposed on the rotation path of the second rotating shaft 22. When its two end faces abut against the second rotating shaft 22, the second rotating shaft 22 is in a stationary state and the second rotating shaft 22 is in a maximum rotation state, respectively. Therefore, the limiting member is used to limit the rotation range of the second rotating shaft 22, that is, to limit the swing range of the pilot cutting rod 30.
[0066] In summary, this embodiment proposes a pilot-operated shut-off switch. The shaft seat 50 and damper mounting plate 60 are mounted on the bracket 10 using external fasteners 70. One end of the rotating shaft 20 passes through the shaft seat 50. The rotating damper 40 is fixed to the damper mounting plate 60 and circumferentially fixed to the rotating shaft 20 via a keyway connection. One end of the rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the pilot shut-off rod 30, and the other end is connected to the tension spring 80. Rotating the rotating shaft 20 by moving the pilot shut-off rod 30 back and forth opens and closes the pilot valve. The flange portion at the other end of the shaft seat 50 ensures rotational limitation. The other end of the rotating shaft 20 is connected to the tension spring 80. Through a specific angular arrangement, it provides assistance during the latter half of the rotation in both directions and provides a stable locking force after reaching the limit, ensuring that the switch state does not change due to equipment vibration. During rotation, the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 20 continuously increases due to the tension of the tension spring 80. At this time, the rotating damper 40 will provide a reverse rotational torque according to the rotational speed of the rotor to prevent the rotating shaft 20 from rotating too fast and from causing violent collisions and vibrations at the limit point.
[0067] The embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this technical solution. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the above embodiments should be included within the scope of protection of this technical solution.
