Direct Armature-Coupled Switch Assembly for Compact Contact Actuation

The patent merges the functions of the armature and contact spring by directly connecting them, eliminating the need for separate coupler and guide components. The armature is designed with an integrated contact spring attachment mechanism that directly transmits rotational movement without intermediate transmission elements, thereby reducing the overall device volume while maintaining switching functionality.

The patent extracts and eliminates the coupler and guide components from the traditional switching mechanism. By removing these intermediate transmission elements and directly coupling the armature to the contact spring, the design achieves a compact structure that maintains reliable switching operation without the bulk of traditional transmission components.

The patent applies local quality by using different materials for different springs within the same spring pack based on their specific functional requirements. Conductive springs are made from high-conductivity materials to ensure electrical contact quality, while resilient springs are made from high-resilience materials to provide adequate contact force. This localized material optimization improves contact performance while the modular spring pack design keeps manufacturing manageable.

The patent employs composite materials strategy by combining springs of different materials in a single spring pack assembly. This allows the system to benefit from the advantageous properties of multiple materials - high electrical conductivity where needed and high mechanical resilience where needed - creating a optimized contact assembly that balances electrical and mechanical performance requirements.
