Description

Pressure switch
Technical field
The present invention relates to electric switch, more precisely, relate to and be suitable for the pressure switch that links to each other with pressure fluid source, the condition of the pressure determine switch of fluid.
Background technology
In the occasion of the pressure change circuit condition that utilizes fluid, pressure switch is used widely.Once be that well-known application is on air compressor.Under these circumstances, Stirling engine usually is by a motor driven.Stirling engine sucks air from atmosphere, it is compressed to elevated pressures, then compressed air is entered in the reservoir vessel, is later use.
As everyone knows, container generally has pressure limit.In other words, surpass a certain predetermined value if be stored in the interior pressure of the fluid in the container, container may break.
In order to prevent this from occurring, compressor assembly generally has a pressure switch.When the pressure in the container reached a certain predetermined value, pressure switch was just opened, thereby opened the circuit of the motor that drives Stirling engine.Then, this means the compression of wanting the end operation circulation, and because idle compressor is no longer carried compressed air at this moment, the pressure in the container can not raise again.
When the compressed air in the use container, the compression stress in the container will reduce.Under a certain predetermined pressure, generally be lower than the above-mentioned value that opens circuit slightly, pressure switch will be closed, gives the motor energising of Stirling engine again.Then, give container transport compressed air again, up to reaching initial predetermined pressure again, at this moment, pressure switch is opened, and motor shuts down.
In the fluid system of non-gaseous fluids, can adopt similar system, for example water pump system.For example, in the general service water system of supply well water, start container or tank that immersible pump rises to water sealing.Because tank seals, the pressure of the air on the top of the water in the tank of water filling raises.When opening tap or valve, this pressure head is delivered to water distribution system with water from tank.Utilize unidirectional valve to prevent that this pressure from making water get back to well.
Usually, when water filling is arrived to a certain degree, produce pressure in the container.Modal is that with the pressure in hydraulic pressure sensitive switch monitoring tank exit, the water surface in this place's container is low.When pressure was low, the hydraulic pressure sensitive switch made pump work; When pressure rose to indication and container injected the water level of water of q.s, the hydraulic pressure sensitive switch quit work pump.
Get back to the situation of air compression system now, those of ordinary skill in the art is easy to understand certainly, when pressure switch is turned off Stirling engine, exists higher residual pressure in pipeline between from the Stirling engine to the container and the Stirling engine itself.In order to restart compressor, need be enough to overcome the so much power of resistance that residual high pressure produces.This usually needs an excessive motor to be used for starting, and having started the back at it just can Driven Compressor with a much smaller motor.Because need an excessive motor, this just means more energy consumption and drops into higher first current cost.
For fear of this thing happens, common employing a kind of so-called " off-load " valve in air compressor industry.When Stirling engine quits work, the action of unloader, with machine but be not container emptying, the interior pressure in the machine is an atmospheric pressure, is not the high pressure in the container.Therefore, when machine restarts, only frictional resistance need be overcome, less motor can be used.In the ordinary course of things, pressure switch has such structure, opens or during electric open position, they also operate this unloader when it is transformed into from closed or electric on-position.
The difficulty that the producer faced of pressure switch is that the parts of the compressor assembly that not every user is used all have same structure.That is to say that the certain user may wish that the compressor connector of unloader upwards opens, the certain user wishes that it opens to the right, and the certain user wishes that it opens left, or the like.It obviously is undesirable all making a kind of diverse pressure switch for every kind of situation, because for example make three kinds of different switches rather than a kind of switch increase cost.
Pressure switch also comprises an override with hand controller traditionally, and it is subjected to operating personnel's control, with biography be stressed switch control motor operations or stop its work.Usually, these controllers are lever-type, stretch out from a side of switch.In addition, because the structure difference of the parts of system, the producer of a system wishes that hand controller stretches out from a side of switch, and the producer of another system wishes that then this controller stretches out from the opposite side of switch.This also needs the structure difference of switch, is very non-remunerative and poor efficiencys and make two kinds of different switches for this reason.
In this class control system, also have another problem to need usually to consider, promptly may vibrate in electricity connection or the relevant each other electric contact of make position.Vibration causes too early wearing and tearing, and can cause in severe case and burn even the arcing fault.Under normal conditions, vibration is that the shake of passing to pressure switch in having the Stirling engine course of work of piston usually causes.The closed plane of contact usually is or is parallel with the base of switch, or perpendicular.The vibration-direction of the piston in the base of the system at the place of switch own and the Stirling engine is parallel or vertical.Under these circumstances, the vibration of contact is the most serious.
Those of ordinary skill in the art knows that certainly pressure switch generally has a differential pressure mechanism, and its effect is a setting pressure, and the contact of switch will disconnect under the pressure that sets, and the contact that is lower than the pressure switch that sets wants closed.Usually, set the pressure that cuts off compressor and connect compressor with this mechanism to the differential pressure between second and the lower pressure of container fluid replacement.When with the maximum pressure in the operating process of being considered serving as basis during, regulate this mechanism and can cause the pressure change that opens circuit with this mechanism setting pressure.Further require to be, recover, should regulate according to so-called " cut-in pressure " in view of the work of Stirling engine should consume the segment fluid flow in the container.Adopt this method, under the situation of high pressure that changes system never in any form or opening pressure, obtain needed differential pressure.
In addition, well-known, many pressure switches have two levers at least, structurally they pressure sensor device as a barrier film and can be disconnected or closed electric contact between.Under normal conditions, these levers structurally are to link by a mechanism of crossing the center, the contact are disconnected and closed action so that produce, and can reduce the arcing of contact like this and therefore burn out.Self-evident, pressure switch should have the suitable mechanism that these levers are installed, and they combine reliably, and in other words they are worked reliably.Although accurate technique equipment does not occur as yet because of the cost problem, need them to realize the demand of reliability to a certain extent simultaneously.Obviously, under the prerequisite of not sacrificing reliability, spendable cheap manufacturing technology equipment needs most.

In a preferred embodiment, the axle journal of hinging pin shaft 120 is (Figure 11) that the lip-deep recess of opening downwards 125 down by arc seat 62 forms.Shown in Fig. 3 and 11, the surface 126 of the contraction on hinging pin shaft 120 two opposite sides enters recessed 125 for hinging pin shaft 120 provides spigot surface, and the inlet of recess 125 is more slightly smaller than bearing pin 120, so that bearing pin 120 is maintained in the recess 125.
Fig. 4,5 and 6 illustrate in greater detail the structure of each unloader.Each unloader 110 all comprises a valve body that is made of an outer valve 130 and an inner valve body 132.Inner valve body 132 comprises that there is the passage 134 of an opening 136 its end, and valve rod 114 can stretch out from opening 136.Passage 134 comprises a shoulder 138.Shoulder 138 is valve seats of valve 140.Valve 140 comprises a central passage 142, and valve rod 114 stretches out from central passage 142, and shown in Figure 4 and 5, valve rod 114 has a lifting head 144, and it can close valve internal channel 142 and valve seat is pressed on the valve 140.
Just leave a bit of space between the end of the inner chamber 146 of the top of inner valve body 132 and outer valve 130, thereby the interface channel 148 that flows on the outer valve 130 to fluid provides passage, specifically, interface channel 148 is on a side of valve body 130.As can being clear that from Fig. 4-6, interface channel 148 is vertical with straight channel 134 usually, and be suitable for by any suitable device with to be linked to each other by the pressure source of emptying, for example link to each other with the discharge chambe of above-mentioned compressor.
Unloader also comprises a side outlet 150.Side outlet 150 is that the opening by the aligning on inner valve body 132 and the outer valve 130 limits, and with passage 134 fluid communication.
Last part of unloader is the spring 152 that is contained in the straight channel 134, and valve 140 leaves seat 138 under the bias voltage of spring 152, promptly shift to position shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 4 represents to be called the position of the parts under the entry condition.At this moment, do not provide pressure fluid to interface channel 148.Valve 140 can be opened, and lifting head 144 can be closed simultaneously.
When starting Stirling engine, its discharge chambe links to each other with interface channel 148, and pressure fluid enters unloader and flows to the left side of valve 140.The bias voltage of pressure fluid antagonistic spring 152 is pressed to position shown in Figure 5 with valve 140.In this position, valve 140 is pressed on the valve seat 138, and lifting head is pressed on the valve 140.Therefore, pressure fluid can not pass through unloader 110 emptying this moment.
When reaching cut-out pressure, the caused contact of clockwise swing of first lever 72 shown in Figure 1 is opened and can be made actuation surfaces 90 that both arms crank throw 118 is swung to position shown in Figure 6.This can make lifting head 144 leave valve 140, makes interface channel 148 and outlet 150 fluid communication.Owing to act on the fluid pressure difference of 140 liang of opposite ends of valve, valve 140 certainly will make the pressure at two ends equate.Therefore, spring 152 can make valve 140 get back to position shown in Figure 4.This has just realized the emptying that produced by valve 140, for example, so that reduce the startup load of Stirling engine, then reaches cut-in pressure.
As required, available plastic production inner valve body 132.Its outer wall can have round bar 154, and the sealing of the many places with excellent sealing effect is provided between outer valve 130 and inner valve body 132, and this structure of while is very economical again.
A key character of unloader 110 is that it comprises a plane 156.The guide end 158 of inner valve body 132 156 stretches out from the plane, normally leads and locate for unloader at the hole 116 of selected sidewall 24 (Fig. 2) interior.
As from Fig. 7 saw, a pair of leg 160 stretches out from outer valve 130 in the two relative orientation of demarcating.Each leg 160 all comprises a recess 162.Referring to Fig. 2, can see around opening 166, having three installing holes 164,166 and 168 at least again.A threaded fastener 169 enters any selected installing hole 164,166,168 by a selected recess 162, so that unloader 110 is fixed on the desired side of pressure switch as shown in Figure 3.Recess 162 that utilization separates by angle and the installing hole 164,166 that separates by angle and 168 and this erecting devices on two side 24 can be installed in unloader each side of pressure switch by the arbitrary position in a plurality of positions shown in Fig. 8 A to 8H.Note, can make progress on demand with the 156 parallel interface channels of opening 148, plane, downwards, towards the right side or towards a left side.Therefore, because interface channel 148 can be towards compressor, but i.e. position most convenient or link to each other with the discharge chambe of compressor most effectively all whatsoever, the structure of this pressure switch is desirable, is suitable for the different producer that the system zero parts have different relative positions and uses.
As noted earlier, another feature of the present invention is a manual actuator to be installed at the either side of switch.For this reason, as from Fig. 2 and 9 see that each sidewall 24 of switch all has an opening 170.Opening 170 comprises the central annulus part of being made up of two circular arcs 172 and 174, and circular arc 172 and 174 common length are slightly larger than 180 °.As meeting is seen, with they axle journals as manual actuator.
One first enlarged 176 enlarges along a direction from middle body, and as meeting was seen, first enlarged 176 had the profile of the cam face of manual actuator, but its contrast cam face is slightly larger.
One second enlarged 178 is arranged on the opposite of first enlarged 176.In a preferred embodiment, the arc length of enlarged 178 is 90 °, and its both sides 180 and 182 are stop surfaces.
Operable manual actuator such as Figure 11 are shown in 12 and 13.This manual actuator is included among Figure 11 the handle 184 of representing with solid line and dotting in Figure 12 and 13.One first axle journal 186 is bigger, stretches out from handle.First axle journal 186 comprises a radially-protruding ridge 188 and three or four radially-protruding teeth 190, and its amount of extending radially out is slightly larger than the diameter by the middle body of circular arc 172 and 174 openings that limited 170.
Cam 192 is in the inside of first axle journal 186, and its shape is represented with solid line in Figure 12 and 13.The profile phase that can see cam face 192 and first enlarged 176 (Fig. 2 and 9) is same, and size is slightly smaller.
Again inwards, each manual actuator comprises one second axle journal 194, and it is located in the hole 196 of getting on the corresponding supporting leg 198 or 200 of carriage 53.
Can see with this,, just can install to manual actuator on the switch as long as cam 192 and enlarged 176 centerings are also pushed in the switch vertically.Cam 192 1 enters in the corresponding sidewall 24, just can the rotation manual actuator, make radially-protruding ridge 188 and enlarged 178 centerings.Manually retainer continues forward, and axle journal 194 is entered in the hole 196 on the carriage 53.Tooth 180 meeting strains are passed hole 170, are positioned at the lateral faces on handle 184 opposites.Herein, ridge 188 is positioned at a position of second enlarged 178, be pressed on any in stop surfaces 180 or 182, thereby can be with the limit rotation of each manual actuator to a certain degree.Certainly, first axle journal 186 can rotate in the circular arc 172 and 174 of opening 170.
At this moment, cam 192 is supporting second lever 80 from below.Therefore, if make handle 84 put position shown in Figure 2, cam 192 can make arm 80 along counter-clockwise swing, can make lever 72 along swing clockwise like this, opens the contact.On the other hand, when handle 84 was put position shown in Figure 13, second lever 80 was along putting position shown in Figure 13 clockwise.If being put usually, second lever 80 can not arrive, but apply the critical positions that bias voltage should arrive it for along clockwise direction second lever 80 if adopt biasing spring, second lever 80 relevant with first lever 72 can surmount the center, and make a lever 72 sudden turns of events to position shown in Figure 13, in this position, movable contact and fixing contacting.
Referring to Figure 11, it is worthy of note, with bolt 204 arc seat 62 is installed on the notch board 202 of carriage 53.It is worthy of note that equally the supporting leg 198 of carriage 53 and 200 end have outside leg 206 and 208 respectively, with threaded fastener leg 206 and 208 are fixed on the notch board 22 of base 20.For the sake of clarity threaded fastener does not illustrate.
It is worthy of note that equally each supporting leg 198 and 200 all has the location extension 208 in the hole 210 of the notch board 22 that stretches into base 20.Adopt this structure accurately supporting leg 198 and 200 to be spaced from each other.
Referring now to Figure 14 and 15,, carriage 53 is described in more detail.Can be clear that from Fig. 5 notch board 202 links to each other with 200 with supporting leg 198 by corresponding sweep 212,214.Similarly, two supporting legs 206 link to each other with corresponding supporting leg 198,200 by sweep 216.
Adopt general processing method crooked metal sheet just can realize this bending.On metallic plate, impact journal hole 196 before crooked and be used to install the hinging pin shaft 74 of first and second levers 72 and 80 and 82 hole 218 and 220.
Easy to understand, the hinging pin shaft installing hole 218 and 220 on the supporting leg 198,200 is centering more accurately, otherwise, can't assemble lever 72,80.Will be understood that equally, when bending operation, be difficult to realize accurate centering.Therefore, according to the present invention, in the punching technology process and before bending, at the final flat not sweep that forms supporting leg 198 and 200, the sweep 212 and 214 that is right after each supporting leg 198 and 200 forms a pair of protuberance 230.Similarly, at flat not sweep, be right after sweep 216 and form protuberance 232 in two opposite ends of each supporting leg 198 and 200.
Therefore, when installing to carriage 53 on the base 20, leg 206 is pressed on the base 20, but the final position of supporting leg 198 and 200 is depended on pressing with leg 208 of 232 pairs of notch boards 22 of protuberance and is entered in the location hole on the notch board 22.In this respect, as seeing from Figure 14 and 15, protuberance 232 is more lower slightly than the lower surface of leg 206.
Be stamped out journal hole 218 and 220 because protuberance 232 resembles, quite accurately determine their relative position,, can keep accurate relative position at any time owing to do not have bending operation in the middle of during punching press two protuberances 232.Therefore, press the protuberance 232 of the notch board of base 20 by setting,, make hinging journal hole 118 and 220 enough centering accurately mutually separately in the hole of notch board 22, be enough to finish assembly work by location leg 208 is set.
For other parts are accurately located, be to be noted that the structure of arc seat 62 should make its both sides at notch board 202 lean against on the protuberance 230.Arc seat 62 is fixed on the notch board 202 reliably but needn't be pressed on the notch board 202.Because protuberance 230 forms in the punching operation process, and be on unbending supporting leg 198 and 200, therefore can obtain same precision.In addition, equal protuberance 230 on the supporting leg 200 and 232 s' distance and, can improve the positional precision between parts by the distance that makes protuberance 230 on one of supporting leg 198 and 232 by making the journal hole on each supporting leg leave the same distance of corresponding protuberance.Therefore be contained in the fixed contact 64,66 on the arc seat 62 with first lever 72 that is contained on the carriage 53 on movable contact between more accurately locate and just can realize.
Referring to Figure 13, be to be noted that the notch board 22 of base 20 defines a more flat mounting plane again.Under normal conditions, in the system that pressure switch will be installed, require plano-concave plate 22 or parallel with the vibration-direction of for example compressor piston, or perpendicular.
According to the present invention, contact 64,66 and 70 is arranged to when make position at Figure 13, the folded angle of the mounting plane that they and notch board 22 are limited greater than 0 ° less than 90 °.Therefore, the contact can be in the principal oscillation plane of machine.So, the vibration of contact and too early wearing and tearing and/or burn with the possibility of arcing and reduce to minimum.
In a highly preferred embodiment, this angle greater than 100 ° less than 80 °, in illustrated embodiment, be 13 ° with angle perpendicular to the line on the plane of notch board 22.45 ° is best angle.The restriction in space usually requires to adopt less angle.In a preferred embodiment, consider to adopt 13 °.
Be appreciated that from the above mentioned pressure switch of the present invention done tangible improvement in many aspects.The device uniqueness of unloader is installed, therefore unloader can be installed in the either side of pressure switch, be easy to adapt to the different parts orientation of the different producers' fluid process system, or can unloader be installed on the pressure switch by a plurality of angle positions for identical purpose, or the two has it concurrently, just can satisfy all needs substantially with a kind of product in some sense, the manufacturing cost of pressure switch is reduced.
It is improvement to pressure switch that manual actuator is provided.This manual actuator can be installed on the arbitrary installation site in a plurality of installation sites on the pressure switch, also be easy to be fit to the different producers' special requirement.
The contact forms an angle during switch closure, makes the contact not in the principal oscillation plane, and this contact mounting structure has improved the life-span and the functional reliability of switch.Adopt crooked switch carriage to reduce manufacturing cost, simultaneously, adopt unique projection to guarantee the centering of appropriate section at the not sweep of switch, solved assembly problem, therefore, make the pressure switch reliable operation, cost is low.
