Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of switch sensor technology, and in particular to a novel miniature mechanical switch sensor. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of door lock and sensor technology, mechanical switch sensors are widely used in security, smart home, and industrial control scenarios. However, existing products still have certain limitations in practical applications. For example, most mechanical switch sensors on the market focus on single-function signal detection or control, lacking an integrated design that combines mechanical operation, status perception, visual indication, and flexible installation structure. This results in insufficient ease of operation in emergency situations, unintuitive status recognition, and limited installation adaptability, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of modern intelligent access control systems for security, ease of use, and environmental adaptability.

[0003] Existing sensor devices often prioritize electronic sensing while neglecting mechanical linkage and status indication. Others, although possessing structural adjustment capabilities, fail to fully integrate with actual door lock usage scenarios, generally exhibiting problems such as separation of mechanical operation and sensing functions, unclear status display, and insufficient flexibility in installation and wiring. Therefore, a new solution that integrates mechanical operation, status feedback, and flexible installation is urgently needed to improve overall performance and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a novel mini mechanical switch sensor, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing mechanical switch sensors in practical applications, such as insufficient ease of operation, unintuitive status recognition, and limited installation adaptability. According to one aspect of this utility model, a novel mini mechanical switch sensor is provided, comprising: a sensing unit including an upper component and a lower component, the upper component and the lower component being fixedly connected by bolts, the lower component having a built-in contact module, the upper component including an upper cover plate fixedly installed on the top of a lower cover plate, an operating block rotatably connected to the top of the upper cover plate, and a first indicator mark and a second indicator mark disposed on the top of the upper cover plate; a locking mechanism, fixedly installed on one side of the lower cover plate by bolts, the locking mechanism including a lock body, the side wall of the lock body having a first interface, the end face of the lock body having a second interface, the direction of the first interface and the second interface being adjusted by rotating the lock body after removing the bolts, the rotation angle of the lock body being an integer multiple of ninety degrees; and a pin structure, used in conjunction with the locking mechanism, the pin structure being inserted into the first interface or the second interface, and rotating to drive a mechanical transmission component inside the lock body, the mechanical transmission component being linked with the contact module in the lower component.

[0005] In some alternative embodiments, the upper component further includes an indicator light fixedly mounted on the top of the upper cover plate, the indicator light being electrically connected to a contact module within the lower cover plate.

[0006] In some alternative embodiments, the number of indicator lights is at least two, which are used to display power status and / or gating status, respectively.

[0007] In some optional embodiments, the lower component further includes cable mounting slots disposed at the end of the lower cover plate, the cable mounting slots being distributed in three directions and the included angle between two adjacent cable mounting slots being 90 degrees, and each cable mounting slot being threadedly connected to a waterproof cable connector.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments, the first indicator and the second indicator are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating block.

[0009] In some optional embodiments, the rotation axis of the operating block is perpendicular to the plane of the lower cover plate, and its rotation range covers the position area of ​​the first indicator and the second indicator. The operating block is driven to rotate by a special tool.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, the lock body and the lower cover plate are fixedly connected by bolts, the mounting holes of the bolts are located at the edge of the lock body, and the rotation center of the lock body is concentric with the mounting holes of the bolts.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the lock body achieves the switching of the orientation of the first and second interfaces by rotating it by an integer multiple of ninety degrees after removing the bolts.

[0012] In summary, the novel mini mechanical switch sensor provided by this utility model has at least the following technical effects:

[0013] The novel mini mechanical switch sensor provided by this utility model includes a sensing unit and a locking mechanism. The sensing unit is equipped with a trigger module for linkage with the locking mechanism. The upper component of the sensing unit is fixed to the lower component by bolts. When the locking mechanism is linked with the sensing unit, the trigger module can detect the operating status of the locking mechanism and provide real-time feedback on the operating status through indicator lights. Furthermore, since the rotation axis of the operating block is perpendicular to the plane of the lower cover plate, and its rotation range covers the position areas of the first and second indicator marks, the position change of the operating block during rotation can intuitively reflect the state change of the locking mechanism, thereby improving the intuitiveness of state recognition.

[0014] In addition, the lock body of the lock mechanism is fixed to one side of the lower cover plate by bolts. The rotation center of the lock body is arranged concentrically with the mounting hole of the bolt. After the bolts are removed, the lock body can switch the direction of the first interface and the second interface by rotating by multiples of ninety degrees, thereby adapting to different installation scenarios and usage requirements and improving installation adaptability.

[0015] Furthermore, the cable mounting slots of the lower component are distributed in three directions, and the included angle between two adjacent cable mounting slots is 90 degrees. Cables can be connected through cable mounting slots in different directions. Combined with the design of the waterproof cable connector, it can effectively prevent moisture intrusion and ensure the circuit stability of the trigger module and indicator lights, thereby adapting to the safety control requirements in complex environments.

[0016] Finally, when the mechanical transmission component of the lock mechanism comes into contact with the trigger module, the action of the mechanical transmission component can trigger the state change of the trigger module when the pin structure is inserted into the lock body and rotates, thereby realizing the synchronous feedback of mechanical operation and electronic signal, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of operation.

[0023] This invention provides a novel miniature mechanical switch sensor, the structure of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a novel miniature mechanical switch sensor includes a sensing unit 1, which comprises an upper assembly and a lower assembly, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The lower assembly has a built-in trigger module. The upper assembly includes an upper cover plate 101, an operating rotating block 102, a first indicator 103, a second indicator 104, and an indicator light 105. The upper cover plate 101 is fixedly mounted on the top of a lower cover plate 106, and the operating rotating block 102 is rotatably connected to the top of the upper cover plate 101. The first indicator 103 and the second indicator 104 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the operating rotating block 102. The first indicator 103 is specifically an unlock indicator, and the second indicator 104 is specifically a lock indicator. The rotation axis of the operating rotating block 102 is perpendicular to the plane of the lower cover plate 106, and its rotation range covers the position area of ​​the first indicator 103 and the second indicator 104. The operating rotating block 102 can be driven to rotate by a special tool.

[0025] The locking mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower cover plate 106 by bolts. The locking mechanism 2 includes a lock body 201. The side wall of the lock body 201 has a first interface 202, and the end face has a second interface 203. The orientation of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203 can be adjusted by rotating the lock body 201 after removing the bolts. The rotation angle of the lock body 201 is an integer multiple of ninety degrees. The lock body 201 is fixedly connected to the lower cover plate 106 by bolts. The mounting holes of the bolts are located at the edge of the lock body 201, and the rotation center of the lock body 201 is concentric with the mounting holes of the bolts.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bolt structure 3 works in conjunction with the lock mechanism 2. After the bolt structure 3 is inserted into the first interface 202 or the second interface 203, it rotates to drive the mechanical transmission component inside the lock body 201. When the bolt structure 3 is inserted into the lock body 201 and rotates, the action of the mechanical transmission component can trigger the state change of the contact module, thereby realizing the synchronous feedback of mechanical operation and electronic signal.

[0027] Indicator light 105 is fixedly installed on the top of upper cover plate 101 and electrically connected to trigger module in lower cover plate 106. There are at least two indicator lights 105, which are used to display power status and gate control status respectively.

[0028] The lower assembly also includes cable mounting slots 107 located at the end of the lower cover plate 106. The cable mounting slots 107 are distributed in three directions, and the included angle between two adjacent cable mounting slots 107 is 90 degrees. Each cable mounting slot 107 is threadedly connected to a waterproof cable connector. The inner wall of the cable mounting slot 107 is provided with a threaded structure, and the waterproof cable connector is fastened to the cable mounting slot 107 through the threaded structure.

[0029] In practical applications, the sensing unit 1 and the locking mechanism 2 work together to achieve synchronous feedback between mechanical operation and electronic signals. When the pin structure 3 is inserted into the first interface 202 or the second interface 203 of the lock body 201 and rotates to drive the mechanical transmission component, the mechanical transmission component contacts the trigger module. As the pin structure 3 rotates, the mechanical transmission component pushes the trigger module to change its state, and the state change of the trigger module is transmitted to the indicator light 105, thereby allowing the indicator light 105 to provide real-time feedback on the operation status. The rotation axis of the operating rotating block 102 is perpendicular to the plane of the lower cover plate 106, and its rotation range covers the position areas of the first indicator mark 103 and the second indicator mark 104. When the operating rotating block 102 is driven to rotate by a special tool, its position change directly reflects the state change of the locking mechanism 2. For example, when the operating rotating block 102 rotates to the position of the first indicator mark 103, it indicates that the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state; when the operating rotating block 102 rotates to the position of the second indicator mark 104, it indicates that the locking mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state.

[0030] The cable mounting slot 107 is designed to allow cables to be connected from different directions, adapting to installation needs in complex environments. The cable mounting slots 107 are distributed in three directions, with an included angle of 90 degrees between adjacent slots. Users can select the appropriate cable mounting slot 107 for wiring based on the actual scenario. The waterproof cable connector is securely connected to the cable mounting slot 107 via a threaded structure. The waterproof cable connector ensures a sealing effect, effectively preventing moisture intrusion and thus ensuring the circuit stability of the trigger module and indicator light 105.

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203 of the lock body 201, the bolts fixing the lock body 201 can be removed first, and then the lock body 201 can be rotated by multiples of 90 degrees to switch the orientation of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203. Finally, the bolts can be reinstalled to complete the fixing. This design allows the lock mechanism 2 to adapt to different installation scenarios and usage requirements, improving installation adaptability.

[0032] The above embodiments describe in detail the structural composition of this utility model, the connection relationship between each component and the operating principle, and demonstrate how the sensing unit 1 and the locking mechanism 2 work together to achieve synchronous feedback of mechanical operation and electronic signals. The operation process and function implementation of the device are explained through specific application scenarios.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the specific implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0034] In actual installation and use, the lower component is first fixed to the target mounting base plate with bolts to ensure its stable position and compatibility with the interface direction of the external device. Then, a suitable cable mounting slot 107 is selected according to the actual wiring requirements, and the cable connecting the trigger module is connected to the cable mounting slot 107 through a waterproof cable connector. The waterproof cable connector is securely connected to the cable mounting slot 107 via a threaded structure and fits tightly against the open end of the cable mounting slot 107, effectively preventing moisture intrusion and ensuring circuit stability. At this point, the user can select any of the three cable mounting slots 107 for wiring according to different installation environments. The included angle between two adjacent cable mounting slots 107 is 90 degrees. This design significantly improves the installation flexibility of the device in complex environments.

[0035] After wiring is completed, the lock mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower cover plate 106 with bolts. If it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203 of the lock body 201, first remove the bolts fixing the lock body 201, then rotate the lock body 201 by multiples of 90 degrees to switch the orientation of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203, and then reinstall the bolts to complete the fixation. Since the rotation center of the lock body 201 is concentrically arranged with the mounting holes of the bolts, the position of the lock body 201 can be accurately aligned during rotation, adapting to different installation scenarios and usage requirements.

[0036] When the bolt structure 3 is inserted into the first interface 202 or the second interface 203 of the lock body 201, the bolt structure 3 rotates, causing the mechanical transmission component inside the lock body 201 to move. This mechanical transmission component contacts the trigger module. As the bolt structure 3 rotates, the mechanical transmission component pushes the trigger module to change its state. This state change is transmitted to the indicator light 105, allowing the indicator light 105 to provide real-time feedback on the operating status. For example, when the bolt structure 3 is fully inserted and rotated into position, the indicator light 105 used to display the door control status will light up, visually reflecting the current operating status of the lock mechanism 2.

[0037] Meanwhile, the operating lever 102 can be driven to rotate using a special tool. Its rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the lower cover plate 106, and its rotation range covers the position areas of the first indicator mark 103 and the second indicator mark 104. When the operating lever 102 rotates to the position of the first indicator mark 103, it indicates that the lock mechanism 2 is in the locked state; when the operating lever 102 rotates to the position of the second indicator mark 104, it indicates that the lock mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state. This design allows users to quickly determine the state of the lock mechanism 2 by observing the positional changes of the operating lever 102, thereby improving the convenience of operation and the intuitiveness of state identification.

[0038] More specifically, during daily office work, staff need to enter and exit specific areas using this new type of mini mechanical switch sensor. First, they observe the first indicator 103 and the second indicator 104 to determine the current status of the door lock.

[0039] To use the bolt structure 3 for unlocking, align the bolt structure 3 with the first interface 202 or the second interface 203 on the lock body 201 and insert it, depending on the installation and adjustment of the lock mechanism 2. After insertion, rotate the bolt structure 3 counterclockwise. At this time, you can observe that the operating block 102 gradually points to the first indicator mark 103 as it rotates, and the indicator light 105 will light up. This indicator light 105 is electrically connected to the contact module inside the lower cover plate 106, and its illumination indicates successful unlocking.

[0040] To lock the door, first turn the latch structure 3 clockwise. The operating block 102 will gradually point to the second indicator mark 104, and the indicator light 105 will turn off or change color, indicating that the door lock is locked.

[0041] If the insertion direction of the pin structure 3 needs to be adjusted later, the direction of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203 can be adjusted by disassembling the bolts and rotating the lock body 201. The lock body 201 achieves the switching of the direction of the first interface 202 and the second interface 203 by rotating circumferentially. The rotation angle is an integer multiple of 90°. After the adjustment is completed, the bolts can be reinstalled to fix the lock body 201.

[0042] In summary, this invention achieves synchronous feedback between mechanical operation and electronic signals through the aforementioned steps and operating principles, solving the problems of insufficient ease of operation, unintuitive status recognition, and limited installation adaptability in existing technologies. The coordinated operation of each component ensures the reliability and ease of use of the device in different application scenarios, meeting the comprehensive requirements of modern intelligent access control systems for security, ease of use, and environmental adaptability.
