[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The contactor includes a micro switch (1) and an arc shield (2). The micro switch (1) is provided with a lead-out pin (12) and a positioning hole (11) that passes through it. The arc shield (2) is provided with a positioning post (21), a insert (22) and a buckle (23). During assembly, the positioning post (21) passes through the positioning hole (11), the insert (22) and the lead-out pin (12) are elastically pressurized and engaged, and the buckle (23) is engaged with the micro switch (1).
[0029] Using a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system composed of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis as a reference, the positioning hole (11) extends along the Y-axis, the lead-out foot (12) extends along the Z-axis, and there are two positioning posts (21), each extending along the Y-axis and arranged along the X-axis. The number of positioning holes (11) is the same as the number of positioning posts (21), and their positions correspond one-to-one. There are two latches (23), arranged along the X-axis, with the positioning post (21) located between the two latches (23). Thus, the positioning post (21) restricts the movement of the micro switch (1) in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and the two latches (23) engage. On opposite sides of the micro switch (1) along the X-axis, the latches (23) restrict the movement of the micro switch (1) in the X-axis direction and restrict the movement of the micro switch (1) in the Z-axis direction. In this way, the micro switch (1) is restricted on the arc shield (2) in the three-dimensional coordinate system. At the same time, the lead-out pin (12) and the insert (22) adopt an elastic interference fit to realize the electrical connection between the lead-out pin (12) and the insert (22), which ensures the fixing effect of the micro switch (1) and the reliability of the electrical connection. Moreover, the installation and disassembly are simple and quick, without the need for professional soldering operations, which reduces the technical requirements of the operators, improves the installation efficiency, and facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement.
[0030] Moreover, in the above scheme, the parallel spacing of the two positioning posts (21) ensures that when the positioning hole (11) of the micro switch (1) is inserted into the two positioning posts (21), the parallel restriction of the two positioning posts (21) prevents the micro switch (1) from rotating around the Y-axis or moving in the XZ direction during initial installation. No subsequent position adjustment is required, which ensures that the lead-out pin (12) and the insert (22) can be precisely matched, and also prevents it from shaking or shifting during operation.
[0031] In other preferred embodiments, the number of positioning posts (21) can be three, four, etc.; in addition, the arrangement of two positioning posts (21) can be along the Z-axis or diagonally. If there are other means to help limit the rotation of the micro switch (1), or if the rotation restriction of the micro switch (1) during initial installation is not considered, only one positioning post (21) can be used.
[0032] In this embodiment, to facilitate the concealment of components and ensure aesthetic appearance, preferably, the arc shield (2) is provided with a first receiving groove (24) and a second receiving groove (25). The first receiving groove (24) is formed by an inward indentation from the outer periphery of the arc shield (2), and the positioning post (21) and the buckle (23) are both located within the first receiving groove (24). The micro switch (1) is installed within the first receiving groove (24). The second receiving groove (25) is formed by an inward indentation from one end of the arc shield (2) along the Z-axis direction, and the second receiving groove (25) is located on one side of the first receiving groove (24) along the Z-axis direction. Figure 1 As shown in the direction reference, the second receiving groove (25) is located above the first receiving groove (24). There is an isolation wall between the first receiving groove (24) and the second receiving groove (25) to separate the second receiving groove (25) and the first receiving groove (24). The insert (22) passes upward from the first receiving groove (24) to the second receiving groove (25), so that part of the insert (22) is located in the first receiving groove (24) and the other part is located in the second receiving groove (25). The insert (22) passes through the first receiving groove (24) to facilitate the connection of the lead pin (12) of the micro switch (1) with the insert (22), and the insert (22) passes through the second receiving groove (25) to facilitate its connection with the wiring. Therefore, the first receiving slot (24) can be used to store the micro switch (1), the snap-fit (23), the positioning post (21), and a part of the insert (22), and the second receiving slot (25) can be used to store another part of the insert (22) used for wiring connection.
[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the arc shield (2) has also been optimized as follows: The arc shield (2) is also provided with bosses (26) and reinforcing ribs (27) to increase the strength of the arc shield (2) from different design angles. Specifically, the boss (26) is set on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove (24) in the Y-axis direction, so that the bottom wall of the first receiving groove (24) in the Y-axis direction forms an uneven shape. At this time, the two buckles (23) can be positioned opposite each other on both sides of the boss (26), and the positioning post (21) is set on the boss (26) to increase the load-bearing capacity of the arc shield (2) on the micro switch (1) and also increase the deformation resistance of the arc shield (2). There are two reinforcing ribs (27). The reinforcing ribs (27) are set on the inner side wall of the arc shield (2) and extend along the Z-axis direction. Each reinforcing rib (27) is set to a different buckle (23), specifically corresponding to the position of the rooting surface of the buckle (23). When the buckle (23) is engaged with the micro switch (1) and subjected to elastic deformation, the bottom wall of the first receiving groove (24) in the Y-axis direction is not easily deformed by the torque of the buckle (23).
[0034] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, the preferred solution of the buckle (23) is as follows: the buckle (23) is provided with a plate-shaped reinforcing part (232) and a tenon (231); the plate-shaped reinforcing part (232) is provided on the outer side of the fixed end of the buckle (23), and the plate-shaped reinforcing part (232) is used to improve the strength of the buckle (23). Specifically, the reinforcing part (232) is perpendicular to the rooting surface of the buckle (23), and in the Y-axis direction, the length of the reinforcing part (232) is less than the length of the buckle (23); the tenon (231) is provided on the inner side of the free end of the buckle (23), and the tenon (231) is used to engage the micro switch (1) and restrict the micro switch (1) from sliding along the Y-axis direction.
[0035] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
