Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator parts manufacturing, specifically to a limit switch for elevators. Background Technology
[0002] To address the limitations of traditional switch boxes in terms of manufacturing process, this invention eliminates the need for an additional brake on the original box, directly removing the brake component. Simultaneously, by designing and employing a limiting block, it achieves a more precise fit with the internal transmission mechanism of the switch.
[0003] This improvement avoids the complex procedures involved in brake installation (such as fastener assembly and debugging), and enhances the mechanical transmission efficiency of the triggering mechanism by optimizing the position of the limit block, reducing the risk of malfunctions caused by loose components or misalignment. Compared to traditional structures, this invention effectively ensures the long-term stability and reliability of the limit switch during elevator operation while reducing production difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, in the following descriptions, well-known structures and technologies have been omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concept of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "top / bottom," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] like Figure 1-4 The elevator limit switch shown includes a switch box 1, and a limit block 22 is provided on one side inside the switch box 1. Multiple limit blocks 22 can be provided as needed.
[0029] A rocker structure 18 is provided above the limit block 22 and installed in the switch box 1 through a bushing 17.
[0030] The rubber wheel 7, which is in contact with the external stop (not shown in the figure) due to the movement of the external stop, swings or slides through the rocker arm 3 and the main shaft 4, which drives the rocker arm structure 18.
[0031] Specifically, the rubber wheel 7 is set at one end of the swing arm 3 via the wheel axle 5, the wheel hub 6 and the matching buckle 16, and the other end of the swing arm 3 is connected to the main shaft 4.
[0032] If the rocker arm structure 18 swings or slides, the limit block 22 will limit the range of motion. The limit block 22 can prevent the rocker arm structure 18 from being damaged due to excessive displacement (such as excessive impact of the stop block when the elevator is going to the top or bottom).
[0033] The rocker arm structure 18 swings or slides, and the signal is further transmitted to the electrical triggering mechanism inside the switch box 1 to activate the circuit by triggering an electrical signal.
[0034] The electrical triggering mechanism includes a leaf spring 10 and a return spring 9 mounted on the support structure of the rocker structure 18, and a moving contact 14 driven by the leaf spring 10 to make contact or separate from the fixed contact on the fixed contact 15.
[0035] The end of the leaf spring 10 is mounted inside the switch box 1 by leaf spring fixing screws 11 and 13.
[0036] One end of the fixed contact 15 is mounted inside the switch box 1 by a fixed contact fixing screw 19.
[0037] The function of the reset spring 9 is to work with the elastic restoring force of the leaf spring 10 to make the moving contact 14 move in the opposite direction after the triggering is completed, returning it to the initial position.
[0038] The contact surface of the moving contact 14 is provided with several silver contacts 20 made of silver material. The silver contacts 20 are made into close contact with the fixed contacts on the fixed contact 15 by mechanical pressure (such as the preload provided by the leaf spring 10), thereby reducing contact resistance fluctuations.
[0039] One end of the moving contact 14 is mounted inside the switch box 1 by the moving contact fixing screw 12.
[0040] A terminal block 8 is provided at the bottom of the switch box 1, through which the circuit of the electrical triggering mechanism is connected to the outside via the wires inside the terminal block 8.
[0041] The upper part of the switch box 1 is provided with an openable transparent cover 2 by cover fixing screws 21.
[0042] Because of the above structure, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] When the elevator car reaches its limit position, the stop (bumper) first contacts the rubber wheel rather than directly impacting the rigid rocker structure.
[0044] The rubber wheel absorbs some of the impact force through elastic deformation, reducing the mechanical stress on the rocker arm structure and switch.
[0045] The stop block pushes the rubber wheel, which in turn causes the rocker arm structure to swing or slide.
[0046] The rocker arm structure further transmits the thrust from the rubber wheel to the electrical triggering mechanism, which then activates the circuit by triggering an electrical signal.
[0047] The displacement of the rocker structure drives the electrical triggering mechanism, causing the moving contact to contact or separate from the fixed contact, thus completing the circuit switching.
[0048] When the moving contact separates from the fixed contact, the leaf spring is in its natural or pre-compressed state, applying an initial elastic force to the moving contact.
[0049] The moving contact piece maintains a preset contact state with the fixed contact piece under the action of the leaf spring.
[0050] When the spring reaches its limit position, the deformation force of the leaf spring is transmitted to the moving contact, causing it to overcome the elastic force and displace to contact the fixed contact.
[0051] When the elevator leaves the limit position, the elastic restoring force of the return spring and the leaf spring causes the moving contact 14 to move in the opposite direction after completing the trigger conduction, returning to the initial position. The moving contact separates from the fixed contact, and the circuit is broken.
[0052] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model.
[0053] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
