Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of master controllers, and in particular to an automatic reset mechanism for a master controller. Background Technology
[0002] The master controller is mainly used in electro-hydraulic transmission devices to open and close contacts in a certain sequence to issue commands or interlock and switch other control circuits. It is suitable for frequent circuit switching and is often used in conjunction with magnetic starters to remotely control the starting, braking, speed regulation, and commutation of wound-rotor asynchronous motors. It is widely used in the drive motor control systems of various types of lifting machinery.
[0003] To ensure operational safety and prevent accidents, the master controller is equipped with an automatic zero-position reset mechanism. After operation, the operating mechanism must return to the zero position. Existing reset mechanisms include either tension spring or compression spring types. Both types of springs are prone to fatigue deformation or breakage after prolonged use. Deformation can lead to inaccurate reset, causing jamming and posing a significant safety hazard. Currently, the reset mechanisms are all installed at the bottom of the controller, making maintenance difficult, time-consuming, and disrupting normal equipment operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that existing reset mechanisms are all installed at the bottom of the controller, which makes maintenance difficult, time-consuming, and affects the normal use of the equipment.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This utility model provides an automatic reset mechanism for a master controller, including a cover plate, a handle, a transmission shaft, a base, a reset mechanism, and a support shell. The top of the cover plate has a connecting hole, and the handle is movably disposed in the connecting hole. The bottom of the handle is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft, and the handle drives the transmission shaft to rotate along the axis of the transmission shaft. Two parallel bearing seats are fixedly disposed at the bottom of the base, and a connecting groove is opened at the top of the base. Two symmetrical mounting seats are disposed at one end of the base. The reset mechanism includes two reset modules, a rack, and a reset pressure plate. The two reset modules are arranged opposite to each other. Each reset module has a cavity, and one end of each reset module has a reset through hole connecting to the cavity. A reset mechanism is fixedly installed inside each reset module. The spring has a rack positioned between two reset through holes. Reset grooves are formed on both sides of the rack. A sector gear is positioned on the top of the reset pressure plate, meshing with the rack. Receiving grooves are formed at both ends of the support shell. The cover plate is fixedly connected to the base by screws. The connecting hole communicates with the connecting groove. The handle is movably positioned within the connecting hole and the connecting groove. Both ends of the drive shaft are rotatably mounted in two bearing seats. The two reset modules are detachably mounted in two mounting seats. The rack slides between the two mounting seats. The reset pressure plate is fixedly mounted at one end of the drive shaft. The support shell is snapped into the bottom of the base. The two bearing seats are respectively positioned in the two receiving grooves. The reset pressure plate is located outside the support shell.
[0006] Preferably, a base platform is fixedly installed at one end of the base, the base platform being located between two mounting seats. A first slide rail is provided on the base platform, and the rack is slidably mounted on the first slide rail via a reset groove. A protective plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support shell by screws. An L-shaped fixing arm is provided on the top of the protective plate, and a second slide rail is provided on one long side of the fixing arm, which is in contact with the rack. The rack is slidably mounted on the second slide rail via a reset groove. The reset pressure plate is rotatably mounted between the protective plate and the support shell. The rack is slidably mounted between the base platform and the fixing arm, and the displacement of the fixed trajectory is achieved through the cooperation of the first and second slide rails with the reset groove. The protective plate mainly serves to support the rack and protect the reset pressure plate.
[0007] Preferably, the reset module includes a housing, a spring plate, and a tension plate. The two ends of the reset spring are fixedly mounted on the spring plate and the tension plate, respectively. The tension plate is located in the cavity near the reset through-hole, and its size is the same as the reset through-hole. The reset through-hole communicates with the bottom of the housing. The spring plate is fixedly connected to one end of the housing by screws. A groove is formed on the top of the housing, and a lifting plate is fixedly installed in the groove. A hook plate is provided on the top of the tension plate. Grooves are formed on the top of both ends of the rack, and the hook plate is detachably disposed in the groove. The width of the reset through-hole communicates with the bottom of the housing. One end of the rack is located in the reset through-hole, facilitating the insertion of the tension plate into the groove via the hook plate. When the rack moves, it can simultaneously compress and stretch two reset springs, providing elasticity for the rack's reset and enhancing the reset effect. The hook plate inserted into the groove is also easy to disassemble, facilitating the replacement of the reset module. The cavity width is greater than the width of the reset through-hole, and the tension plate fits against the inner wall of the cavity, preventing the spring and tension plate from detaching from the cavity.

The zero-position pressure plate is sleeved and fixed on the drive shaft. The bottom of the zero-position pressure plate has a fan-shaped head with a positioning groove. One end of the positioning spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring plate. A positioning roller is rotatably mounted on the top of the spring plate and is located in the positioning groove. The zero-positioning mechanism is used to limit the handle to the zero position to prevent the handle from shaking and causing accidental activation of the microswitch. The positioning roller can rotate, and the positioning groove on the fan-shaped head of the zero-position pressure plate is engaged with the positioning roller. When the fan-shaped head moves, it will press down on the positioning roller until it is disengaged from the positioning groove. The positioning roller drives the spring plate to move downward. When the positioning groove moves back onto the positioning roller, the positioning spring lifts the spring plate, causing the positioning roller to be engaged in the positioning groove.
[0010] Preferably, a positioning seat is provided on the inner wall of the support shell, a pressure plate groove is formed on the top of the positioning seat, a positioning spring is disposed in the pressure plate groove, a positioning slide groove is formed on the inner wall of the pressure plate groove, and a positioning slider is provided on one side of the elastic plate, the positioning slider being slidably disposed in the positioning slide groove. The positioning spring is fixedly installed in the pressure plate groove to provide elastic support for the elastic plate, and the positioning slider cooperates with the positioning slide groove to prevent the elastic plate from tilting left or right when squeezed, thus affecting the elastic plate's recovery.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves quick replacement by setting an installation seat on the base and setting a detachable reset mechanism in the installation seat. The reset mechanism is set above the master controller for easy repair. A hook plate is set on the top of the tension plate, and grooves are opened on the top of both ends of the rack. The hook plate is detachably set in the groove. When the rack moves, it can simultaneously compress and stretch two reset springs, which can provide elasticity for the rack reset and enhance the reset effect. Attached Figure Description
