Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical technology, and in particular to a micro switch and an automotive-grade connector. Background Technology

[0002] Microswitches, as switching devices with tiny contact intervals and quick-acting mechanisms, are widely used in electronic equipment, electrical control, home appliances, and industrial automation due to their sensitive triggering characteristics and reliable circuit switching capabilities. Their core working principle lies in using external mechanical force to drive internal contacts to move rapidly, thereby achieving instantaneous circuit connection or disconnection. In the connector field, microswitches play a particularly crucial role, automatically controlling the connection or disconnection of the circuit when a plug is inserted or removed. This not only improves user convenience but also effectively avoids problems such as short circuits or poor contact caused by human error, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of equipment.

[0003] However, while existing microswitches can effectively switch circuits on and off, they also have significant drawbacks in practical applications. For example, some microswitches have overly complex structural designs with numerous internal components, making the overall assembly process complicated, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, reducing production efficiency, and cumbersome disassembly and repair. Furthermore, the contacts of some microswitches are prone to shifting during frequent contact or separation, resulting in insufficient contact area between the moving and stationary contacts, thus reducing the reliability and stability of circuit conduction. This is particularly true for microswitches in the V2L discharge sockets of electric vehicles, where most are driven by protective shutters, leading to a high failure rate and the generation of electric arcs inside the socket, severely impacting the safety of the discharge socket. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a micro switch that solves the problems of existing micro switches in the V2L discharge sockets of electric vehicles, such as complex structure, poor stability, easy damage, electric arc, difficult assembly, low production efficiency, and inconvenience in repair and maintenance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a micro switch, including a fixed base, a movable base, a driving member, and a normally open contact assembly. The fixed base is provided with at least two terminals. The movable base is used to abut against an external component and is movably disposed within the fixed base by the driving member. The normally open contact assembly moves through the movable base to complete the closure and connect each of the terminals.

[0006] Preferably, the side wall of the fixed seat is provided with a groove for mounting the movable seat, and the groove wall is provided with a plurality of guide rails at intervals along its circumference, and the movable seat is provided with positioning grooves corresponding to the positions of the plurality of guide rails.

[0007] Preferably, the normally open contact assembly includes a moving contact and several stationary contacts. A plurality of mounting grooves for fixing each of the terminals and stationary contacts are provided on one side of the fixed base. The several stationary contacts are respectively disposed on each of the terminals. The moving contact is detachably disposed on the movable base and located in the groove. The bottom of the groove is provided with through holes corresponding to the positions of the several stationary contacts.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the movable seat is provided with a slot for mounting the movable contact piece, and the top of the movable contact piece protrudes from the opening of the slot; both ends of the movable contact piece extend toward the stationary contact piece and fold back to form a conductive portion, and the conductive portion bends toward the slot.

[0009] Preferably, the ends of the stationary contacts are bent away from the moving contacts.

[0010] Preferably, the movable seat has a ramp for contacting with an external component, and the ramp slopes from top to bottom in a direction away from the wiring terminal.

[0011] Preferably, the movable seat has a boss for mounting the drive component on the side opposite to the ramp.

[0012] This invention also proposes a plug-driven automotive-grade connector, which utilizes the micro switch described above.

[0013] Preferably, the automotive-grade connector includes a base, an electrical component, a cover plate, and a panel assembly. The electrical component includes a socket disposed within the base. The socket is connected to a cable and used to clamp an external component. An opening is formed on one side of the socket for the movable seat to extend into. The cover plate is detachably mounted on the top of the base. The panel assembly is disposed above the cover plate. The cover plate and the panel assembly have insertion holes for external components to pass through, corresponding to the position of the socket.

[0014] Preferably, the automotive-grade connector further includes a protective pad, on which a through hole is formed at the position corresponding to the socket, and a stop groove for installing the protective pad is formed on the top surface of the cover plate.

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model discloses a micro switch that can realize the circuit switching by only a fixed base, a movable base, a driving component and a normally open contact assembly. Compared with existing micro switches with more internal parts, it not only reduces the number of parts and simplifies the overall structure, but also makes assembly simple, time-saving and labor-saving, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the disassembly and assembly steps are also simplified, making it easier to repair and maintain.

[0017] 2. In the micro switch of this utility model, the fixed base can limit and guide the movable base, thereby preventing the movable base from shaking during movement. This effectively avoids the normally open contact assembly from shifting or misaligning during closing or opening, ensuring that each contact can stably abut and have sufficient contact area, thereby significantly improving the reliability and stability of circuit conduction.

[0018] 3. This utility model discloses a micro switch that is driven by the insertion process of a plug, so that the plug first contacts the socket sleeve, and then triggers the micro switch to send a discharge signal to the vehicle to achieve discharge.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] This utility model proposes a micro switch.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, a micro switch 100 includes a fixed base 101, a movable base 102, a driving member 103, and a normally open contact assembly 104. The fixed base 101 is provided with at least two terminals 105. The movable base 102 is used to abut against an external component and is movably disposed within the fixed base 101 by the driving member 103. The normally open contact assembly 104 moves through the movable base 102 to complete the closure and conduct each terminal 105.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 9As shown, in the micro switch 100 of this utility model, since the fixed base 101 is provided with at least two terminals 105, and the movable base 102 is movably disposed within the fixed base 101 by a driving member 103, the driving member 103 can be an elastic element or metal spring in the prior art. The two ends of the driving member 103 are respectively connected to the movable base 102 and the fixed base 101, so that the movable base 102 can move relative to the fixed base 101 under the action of the driving member 103. Furthermore, the normally open contact assembly 104 can be a stationary contact and a moving contact commonly used in the prior art. At the same time, the moving contact and the stationary contact can be respectively disposed at the terminals 105 on the movable base 102 and the fixed base 101, so that the stationary contact and the moving contact can abut against each other by the movement of the movable base 102, thereby completing the closure of the normally open contact assembly 104 and realizing the conduction of the circuit. The structural design is simple and reasonable.

[0040] Understandably, in practical use, the micro switch 100 of this utility model can be installed in automotive-grade connectors 200 such as sockets or adapters to achieve circuit switching. Specifically, when a user inserts a plug into the socket, the plug pin is the external component. After the pin is inserted, it abuts against the movable seat 102. As the pin continues to penetrate, it can squeeze and push the movable seat 102 to move relative to the fixed seat 101, and the driving member 103 is in a compressed state. This allows the moving contact on the movable seat 102 to abut against the stationary contact on the terminal block 105, thereby connecting each terminal block 105 and completing the circuit conduction. At the same time, when the user pulls out the plug, the driving member 103 rebounds, thereby driving the movable seat 102 to move away from the terminal block 105, thereby separating the moving contact and the stationary contact and cutting off the connection between each terminal block 105, thus disconnecting the circuit. Therefore, the micro switch 100 of this utility model can realize the switching of the circuit by means of only the fixed base 101, the movable base 102, the driving component 103 and the normally open contact assembly 104. Compared with the existing micro switch 100 with too many internal parts, it not only reduces the number of parts and simplifies the overall structure, but also makes the assembly simple, saves time and effort, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the disassembly and assembly steps are also simplified, making it easier to repair and maintain.

[0041] In addition, since the movable seat 102 is movably disposed within the fixed seat 101 by the driving member 103, when the movable seat 102 moves relative to the fixed seat 101, the fixed seat 101 plays a limiting and guiding role for the movable seat 102, thereby preventing the movable seat 102 from shaking during movement. This effectively avoids the normally open contact assembly 104 from shifting or misaligning during closing or opening, ensuring that each contact can stably abut and have sufficient contact area, thereby significantly improving the reliability and stability of circuit conduction.

[0042] It is worth noting that the micro switch 100 of this utility model can be driven and connected during the insertion of the plug. Specifically, after the plug is inserted, the plug pin first contacts the socket sleeve 205, and then the micro switch 100 is activated (the moving contact on the movable base 102 can abut against the stationary contact on the terminal block 105) to send a discharge signal to the vehicle to achieve discharge, thereby realizing a non-energized connection between the plug and the socket, effectively solving the problem of electric arc during the insertion and removal process, and improving the safety and stability of the V2L discharge socket itself.

[0043] In one embodiment, a groove 106 for mounting a movable seat 102 is provided on the side wall of the fixed seat 101. A plurality of guide rails 107 are formed at intervals along the circumferential direction on the groove wall of the groove 106. Positioning grooves 108 are provided on the movable seat 102 corresponding to the positions of the guide rails 107. Specifically, as shown... Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the interlocking design of several guide rails 107 and positioning grooves 108 can provide multi-point limiting for the movable seat 102. This not only effectively prevents the movable seat 102 from shaking or shifting during movement, improving the smoothness of movement of the movable seat 102 and the moving contact, but also ensures the stability of the normally open contact assembly 104 when it is closed or opened, improving the reliability of circuit conduction. Furthermore, the movable seat 102 only needs to be pushed into the groove 106 along the guide rails 107 during installation to complete the positioning, without the need for additional adjustment steps, thus simplifying the assembly process.

[0044] In one embodiment, the normally open contact assembly 104 includes a moving contact 109 and a plurality of stationary contacts 110. A plurality of mounting grooves 111 for fixing each terminal 105 and the stationary contacts 110 are provided on one side of the fixed base 101. The plurality of stationary contacts 110 are respectively disposed on each terminal 105. The moving contact 109 is detachably disposed on the movable base 102 and located in the groove 106. The bottom of the groove 106 is provided with through holes corresponding to the positions of the plurality of stationary contacts 110.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 9As shown, the mounting slot 111 can accommodate each terminal block 105 and the stationary contact piece 110, and each terminal block 105 and the stationary contact piece 110 can be fixed in the mounting slot 111 by snap-fit, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of each terminal block 105 and the stationary contact piece 110 on the fixed base 101, which helps to improve the contact stability between the stationary contact piece 110 and the moving contact piece 109. Furthermore, the moving contact piece 109 can be detachably installed on the movable base 102 by bolt connection or snap-fit ​​fixation, which facilitates the disassembly, replacement and maintenance of the moving contact piece 109. Understandably, by setting the moving contact 109 in the groove 106, that is, the moving contact 109 is located on the side of the movable base 102 near the terminal 105, and through holes are provided on the bottom of the groove 106 for the positions of several stationary contacts 110, the movable base 102 can be driven by the external component to drive the moving contact 109 to accurately pass through the through holes and abut against each stationary contact 110, thereby realizing the conduction of the circuit. The structural design is simple and reasonable. At the same time, the movable base 102 can shield the moving contact 109 and the through holes, thereby preventing external dust and other impurities from contaminating the moving contact 109 and several stationary contacts 110, effectively preventing the increase of the contact resistance between the two, and ensuring the conduction performance and response speed of the micro switch 100 of this utility model.

[0046] In one embodiment, the top of the movable base 102 is provided with a slot 112 for mounting the movable contact 109, and the top of the movable contact 109 protrudes from the opening of the slot 112; both ends of the movable contact 109 extend toward the stationary contact 110 and fold back to form a conductive portion 113, and the conductive portion 113 bends toward the slot 112. Specifically, as Figures 4 to 9 As shown, since the top of the moving contact 109 protrudes from the slot of the card slot 112, it is easy for the user to directly remove the moving contact 109, which facilitates replacement and improves maintenance convenience. Furthermore, since both ends of the moving contact 109 extend towards the stationary contact 110 and fold back to form the conductive portion 113, and the conductive portion 113 bends towards the slot 112, when the external component pushes the movable block to move, the conductive portion 113 can abut against the stationary contact 110 under the action of the movable block. As the external component continues to extend, the conductive portion 113 can be elastically compressed towards the center of the moving contact 109, thereby ensuring that the conductive portion 113 can always stably abut against the stationary contact 110, thus improving the stability and reliability of the circuit conduction. At the same time, when the user removes the external component, the moving contact 109 moves away from the stationary contact 110 under the action of the movable seat 102, and the conductive portion 113 can automatically reset itself after separating from the stationary contact 110 by its own elasticity, thereby realizing the rapid disconnection of the moving contact 109 and several stationary contacts 110. The structural design is simple and reasonable.

[0047] In one embodiment, specifically, as Figure 9As shown, the ends of several stationary contacts 110 are bent away from the moving contact 109, which can guide the moving contact 109 during the contact process between the moving contact 109 and the several stationary contacts 110, making it easier to conduct the circuit, reducing the dependence on assembly accuracy and improving the production qualification rate.

[0048] In one embodiment, the movable base 102 has a ramp 114 for abutting against an external component, the ramp 114 being inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the terminal block 105. Specifically, as shown... Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the inclined ramp 114 at the top of the movable base 102 forms a sliding contact with the external component (such as the plug pin). When the external component is pressed down (i.e., when the user inserts the plug), the ramp 114 decomposes the vertical force of the plug pin into a horizontal component and a vertical component. The horizontal component drives the movable base 102 to move smoothly along the guide rail 107, while the vertical component is conducted and dissipated through the fixed base 101. This ensures that the movable base 102 can stably contact the moving contact 109 with several stationary contacts 110 under the action of the external component, thus conducting the circuit reliably. It should be noted that when the user removes the external component (such as unplugging the plug), the movable base 102 automatically resets under the action of the drive component 103, causing the moving contact 109 to separate from the several stationary contacts 110 to disconnect the circuit. The structural design is simple and reasonable, and suitable for high-frequency plugging and unplugging applications.

[0049] In one embodiment, a boss 115 for mounting a drive member 103 is formed on the side of the movable seat 102 opposite to the ramp 114. Specifically, as shown... Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the driving component 103 can be a spring from the prior art. Springs have the characteristics of compact structure, easy material sourcing, and large elastic restoring force, which facilitates the automatic reset of the movable seat 102 after the external components are removed. Furthermore, a boss 115 for mounting the driving component 103 is formed on one side of the movable seat 102. The driving component 103 is sleeved on the outer wall of the boss 115, which can completely constrain the radial displacement of the driving component 103 and retain only the axial compressive degree of freedom of the driving component 103, thereby effectively improving the stability of the driving component 103 in driving the movable seat 102 to move.

[0050] This utility model also proposes an automotive-grade connector 200, which utilizes the aforementioned micro switch 100. The specific structure of the micro switch 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this automotive-grade connector 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0051] In one embodiment, the automotive-grade connector 200 includes a base 201, an electrical component 202, a cover plate 203, and a panel assembly 204. The electrical component 202 includes a socket 205 disposed within the base 201. The socket 205 is connected to a cable and used to hold an external component. An opening 206 is formed on one side of the socket 205 for the movable seat 102 to extend into. The cover plate 203 is detachably mounted on the top of the base 201. The panel assembly 204 is disposed above the cover plate 203. The cover plate 203 and the panel assembly 204 have insertion holes 207 on the cover plate 203 and the panel assembly 204 corresponding to the position of the socket 205 for the external component to pass through.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the opening 206 on the side wall of the socket 205 allows the movable seat 102 of the micro switch 100 to directly extend into the insertion area within the socket 205, thus ensuring that the external component can push the movable seat 102 to move relative to the fixed seat 101. Furthermore, the cover plate 203, which is detachably mounted (possibly with a threaded connection) on the top of the base 201, can shield the micro switch 100 and socket 205, thereby reducing the probability of external liquids, dust, and other impurities entering the socket 205 or the micro switch 100, improving the protection effect of the automotive-grade connector 200, ensuring the normal operation of the micro switch 100, reducing maintenance frequency, and extending service life. Understandably, by providing insertion holes 207 on the cover plate 203 and the panel assembly 204, the external component can abut against the ramp 114 through the insertion holes 207, thereby pushing the movable seat 102 to move relative to the fixed seat 101. The structural design is simple and reasonable. In addition, it is worth noting that the panel assembly 204 can be adopted as a protective door, top plate or other related components in the prior art. The panel assembly 204 can further enhance the protection capability and safety of use.

[0053] In one embodiment, the automotive-grade connector 200 further includes a protective pad 208, on which a through hole 209 is formed at a position corresponding to the insertion hole 207, and a stop groove 210 for mounting the protective pad 208 is formed on the top surface of the cover plate 203. Specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, the protective pad 208 effectively prevents dust, liquids, and other impurities from entering the automotive-grade connector 200 through the socket 207, significantly extending the service life of the internal microswitch 100 and the socket 205. Furthermore, the stop groove 210 limits the movement of the protective pad 208, preventing it from moving freely relative to the cover plate 203 or panel assembly 204, and ensuring the coaxiality of the through hole 209 and the socket 207, allowing external components to be accurately inserted into the socket 205 for reliable operation.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
