Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model patent relates to a pressure switch with a copper contact piece having a buffer limit protection. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure switches are generally used as shift indicator signals in transmissions. Current pressure switches typically involve a push rod reciprocating to trigger the copper contacts to connect or disconnect. However, these copper contacts are subject to significant pressure and impact from the push rod. Furthermore, the complex structure and large size of the transmission cover assembly, various user operating habits, the fast automatic shifting speeds of new energy vehicles, and the relatively high pressing force of the switch push rod assembly often lead to malfunctions such as deformation of the copper contacts in the electrical cavity due to pressure from the push rod assembly. This results in malfunctions, ultimately causing a high after-sales failure rate and impacting user experience.

[0003] The original structure relied on a push rod to compress a top rod, causing the copper contact piece to connect. The compressive force was often quite large, and if it was too high, it would cause the copper contact piece to bend and deform severely, resulting in switch failure. If the compressive force of the push rod was too low, the switch travel would exceed the tolerance, leading to poor contact and also affecting its use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve existing technical problems by proposing a pressure switch with a copper contact piece having buffer limit protection.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pressure switch with a copper contact piece having buffer limit protection, a channel in the center of the plug cover, a push rod placed in the channel, the lower end of the push rod contacting the sealing gasket, the upper end of the push rod having a first reduction section and a second reduction section, a second reduction step surface being formed between the push rod and the second reduction section, and a first reduction step surface being formed between the second reduction section and the first reduction section, the copper contact piece being sleeved on the outside of the second reduction section, an actuator being provided between the recessed second reduction step surface, a push rod assembly driving the actuator to move the push rod up and down in the channel, and a buffer limit protection structure being provided inside the actuator.

[0006] Furthermore, the actuator includes a first return spring, a pressure spring, an insulating pad, and a gasket. The pressure spring is sleeved on the outside of the second reduced section, with its upper end abutting against the lower end of the copper contact piece and its lower end abutting against the surface of the second reduced step. An insulating pad is sandwiched between the upper end of the pressure spring and the lower end of the copper contact piece. The upper end of the copper contact piece is flush with the surface of the first reduced step. The gasket is riveted to the outside of the first reduced section, and a first return spring is provided between the gasket and the recess. The buffer limiting protection structure is a pressure spring.

[0007] Furthermore, the bushing is fitted onto the outside of the second narrowing section.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the plug cover has a raised arc surface at the edge of the channel. The raised arc surface and the upper end surface of the plug cover form a clearance area for the lower end of the copper contact piece, and the upper end of the raised arc surface and the lower end of the contact point of the copper contact piece form a limit.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion is provided on the inner edge of the second annular step surface, and a second protrusion is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the sealing gasket. The second protrusion is placed on the second annular step surface and is limited by the limiting protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the push rod assembly includes an upper push rod, a lower push rod, and a second return spring. The lower end of the upper push rod has a second concave recess, and the lower end face of the upper push rod is placed on the third annular step surface. The upper end of the lower push rod is located above the third annular step surface, and the outer wall of the upper end of the lower push rod has a second limiting protrusion.

The upper end of the second return spring abuts against the upper end of the second concave recess, and the lower end of the second return spring abuts against the lower end of the third concave recess. The lower end of the lower push rod passes through the electrical cavity and is located outside the housing.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring is provided between the upper end of the push rod and the sealing gasket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when the copper contact piece is connected by the pressure spring, it will not be pushed inward by the push rod, thus preventing deformation of the copper contact piece; when the push rod assembly is squeezed excessively, the limit of the plug cover protects the electrical cavity assembly.
