MECHANICAL SWITCH PANEL WITH PRESENCE INDICATOR MODULE

Abstract

MECHANICAL SWITCH PANEL WITH PRESENCE INDICATOR MODULE The invention involves ensuring that each key is in its designated place on keypads where keys are stored collectively. a mechanical switch that indicates that it is not present without using electrical energy It is related to the presence indicator module. The module can move relative to the panel housing (1). movable key carrier arm (2), key hanging element (3) on this arm, mechanical transmission that transmits the movement of the carrier arm to the two-position indicator element (6) The linkage (4) returns the mechanism to its starting position when the key is removed. It includes the turning element (5) and the indicator guide (7) which directs the indicator element. Key When the key is attached to the hanging element (3), the weight of the key itself moves the carrier arm (2). This causes the indicator element (6) to move to the second position via the transmission link (4). When the key is taken, the return element (5) returns the mechanism to the first position. Thus, the presence or absence of the key is determined by a sensor, battery, cable, or electronics. It becomes mechanically visible spontaneously without the need for a control element. Figure 1

Description

1 TARIFF MECHANICAL SWITCH PANEL WITH PRESENCE INDICATOR MODULE Technical Area The invention is for use in schools, workshops, administrative units, and apartments where keys are kept collectively. The invention relates to switchboards used in management, technical service, and similar areas. More specifically, any electrical sensors, batteries, microcontrollers, or wiring Without using any tools, the mechanical movement created by the weight of the key itself is directly visualized. It relates to a modular key presence indication system that transmits data to the display. State of the Art In typical switchboards, keys are usually hung on fixed hooks, and the key... Whether it is in place or not can be determined by the user checking the hook. Electronic key In their lockers, the presence of a key is detected by a sensor, RFID, electromagnetic lock, or similar system. It can be monitored with electrical components. Remote and rapid control in fixed hook panels. It is power. Electronic systems, on the other hand, require a power source, cabling, maintenance, and higher costs. It requires. Also, a hook appearing empty isn't always obvious enough. This Therefore, the action of hanging the key on the hook and taking it off the hook must be performed by a separate user. A simple system that directly converts between two different mechanical display positions without requiring any further operation. Order is needed. Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the invention is to determine whether the key is present in the panel without using electrical energy. The purpose is to make it noticeable from a distance. Another purpose is to make the carrier arm visible when the key is hung. the key weight moves from the first position to the second position and the same movement The purpose is to ensure that the information is transferred to the indicator element. Another purpose is to return the information when the key is taken. Thanks to the return element, the system automatically returns to its initial position. Thus... The user can also do this without flipping a button, inserting a card, or changing signs. By hanging up the key, the presence information is updated. 2 Explanation of the Figures Figure 1 shows an example layout of the modules that are the subject of the invention on a panel body. Figure 2 shows the movable switch carrier arm and transfer link of a single module. The image shows the mechanical relationship between the return element and the indicator element from the side. Figure 3 schematically shows the two operating positions, one with the key absent and one with the key suspended. as shown. Explanation of References in Figures 1. panel body 2.

Indicator guide Module 8 fixing area Description of the Invention The invention consists of at least one module which can be placed independently on a panel body (1). This occurs. Each module has a limited rotation or linear displacement relative to the board body. It has a movable key carrier arm (2) that can do this. Key hanging element (3), carrier arm (2) in the area where the key ring or the tag ring attached to the key can be attached It is positioned. The carrier arm (2) is positioned by the load bearing on the suspension element (3) of the switch. It is arranged according to the center of gravity and the axis of rotation in such a way as to change it. Carrier The movement of the arm can be done directly or via a pinhole, connecting rod, eccentric surface, or Two-position indicator via a similar fully mechanical transmission link (4) It is transferred to element (6). 3 Explanation of the Invention - Continued Indicator element (6) is visible from the front of the panel and is located inside the indicator guide (7) It could be a sliding, rotating plate, or window element that moves between its final position. If the key is not found, the return element (5) brings the carrier arm (2) to the initial position and The first indicator surface of the indicator element is kept visible. When the key is turned on... The downward force generated by the key moves the carrier arm to the second position. This via the motion transmission link (4) the indicator element (6) moves to the other final position and The second indicator surface becomes visible. The return element (5) is a torsion spring, tension The spring may be a compression spring or an adjustable counterweight. The module fixing area (8) is the same. screw that will allow the mechanism to be subsequently added to an existing switchboard These may include slots, snap-on ledges, or rail connections. Customization and Modularity The moment arm of the carrier arm ensures reliable operation with wrench bundles of varying weights. The preload of the return element or the position of the connection point can be adjusted. Indicator The element may carry two separate color, pattern, or symbol areas. These areas form one part of the mechanism. Although it is part of the invention, its operation is not dependent on color or writing. Multiple The modules can be used side-by-side or one above the other on the same board housing. Each module Since it operates independently of the others, obtaining a single key only indicates the relevant indicator. It changes its position. Application Method in Industry The body and movable parts of the invention may be made of sheet metal, plastic, wood-based panels or a combination thereof. They can be mass-produced from combinations of these elements. Joint, pin, guide and spring components are standard. It can be created with mechanical parts. Since the system does not require electrical components, it is suitable for schools. administrations, security units, workshops, service rooms, apartment managements and the like They can be manufactured and used in key storage areas.
