As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a micro switch 10, the micro switch 10 includes: base 100, housing 200, terminal assembly 300, key 400, and reed 500. The housing 200 is covered on the base 100 and forms a containing chamber, the terminal assembly 300 is disposed on the base 100 and partially exposed outside the containing chamber, and the key 400 is mounted on the base 100 and partially exposed outside the containing chamber.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the terminal assembly 300 includes a supporting terminal 310 and a triggering terminal 320, wherein the supporting terminal 310 and the triggering terminal 320 are both inserted on the base 100, and the reed 500 spans the supporting terminal 310 and the triggering terminal 320. Trigger terminal 320 is provided with trigger bending end 321, trigger bending end 321 is located below reed 500. The support terminal 310 is provided with a support bending end 311 and a press bending end 312, the fixed end 501 of the reed 500 is clamped between the support bending end 311 and the press bending end 312, the support bending end 311 is welded with the fixed end 501, and the press bending end 312 is propped against the upper part of the fixed end 501.
As shown in fig. 4, a reset elastic member 401 is provided between the key 400 and the base 100, and the tip of the reed 500 extends and is mounted on the key 400. The housing 200 is provided with an elastic sealing cap 210 (as shown in fig. 2), and the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the key 400. The elastic sealing cap 210 serves to prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering the inside of the case 200 through a gap between the key 400 and the case 200, and the elastic sealing cap 210 can be compressively deformed, the setting of which does not affect the movement of the key 400.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the key 400 is provided with a pressing post 410 and a sliding block seat 420, the sliding block seat 420 is slidably disposed on the base 100, and the pressing post 410 is disposed on the sliding block seat 420 and penetrates through the housing 200. The elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing column 410, and a mounting groove 220 matched with the elastic sealing cap 210 is formed in a corresponding position of the shell 200. Preferably, the elastic sealing cap 210 is a soft rubber structure, and the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 is bonded with the mounting groove 220 by glue.
The operation principle of the micro switch 10 of the present invention will be described with reference to the above configuration:
in normal operation, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the fixed end 501 of the reed 500 is welded to the supporting bending end 311 of the supporting terminal 310, and the pressing bending end 312 cooperates with the supporting bending end 311 to clamp the fixed end 501, and the end of the reed 500 extends to the key 400. The reed 500 itself has an elastic force that causes the reed 500 to have a tendency to approach the trigger terminal 320. Since the reset elastic member 401 lifts the key 400, the reed 500 mounted on the key 400 is lifted, so that the reed 500 cannot contact with the trigger terminal 320, and at this time, a communication circuit cannot be formed between the support terminal 310 and the trigger terminal 320, i.e. the power-off state is achieved;
when the key 400 is pressed down by an external force, the end of the reed 500 is no longer subject to a lifting force, the reed 500 approaches and is pressed against the trigger bending end 321 of the trigger terminal 320 under the action of the self elastic force, and at this time, the support terminal 310 and the trigger terminal 320 are electrified (as shown in fig. 6) through the reed 500, that is, in an electrified state.
In the prior art, the fixed end 501 of the reed 500 is typically welded directly to the support terminal 310. In this way, the stress of the deformation of the reed 500 is concentrated at the welded portion, and the welded portion is easily broken after being deformed by pressure a plurality of times or for a long time. In addition, after being deformed by pressure a plurality of times or for a long time, the spring property of the reed 500 may be weakened, thereby causing the micro switch to be not stably triggered. Compared with the prior art, the microswitch 10 of the present invention has two distinct points: "the support terminal 310 is provided with the press-holding bent end 312" and "the reed 500 itself has a tendency to approach the trigger terminal 320". These two differences are specifically designed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The specific characteristics and beneficial effects are as follows:
first, the support terminal 310 is provided with a press bending end 312, and the press bending end 312 is matched with the support bending end 311, and the press bending end 312 and the support bending end are used for clamping the fixed end 501 of the reed 500. Thus, when the spring 500 is lifted by the key 400 to deform, the holding bending end 312 will abut against the spring 500, i.e. part of the moment of the spring 500 will be transferred to the holding bending end 312. Thus, the fixed end 501 of the reed 500 is not subjected to an excessive external force. When the key 400 is pressed down, the reed 500 is pressed against the trigger bending end 321 under the action of its own elastic force, and the reed 500 is not excessively deformed due to the support of the trigger bending end 321, so that the fixed end 501 is not subjected to excessive external force. Therefore, the pressing bending end 312 is matched with the supporting bending end 311 to clamp the fixed end 501, so that the external force applied to the welded part of the fixed end 501 in the use process can be effectively reduced, the stress concentration is reduced, and the possibility of fracture is reduced;
secondly, the reed 500 itself has a tendency to approach the trigger terminal 320, and the key 400 lifts the reed 500 so that it cannot contact the trigger terminal 320. In the prior art, the spring 500 is usually pressed and deformed before contacting the trigger terminal 320, but in the present invention, the spring 500 contacts the trigger terminal 320 without external force. Thus, even though the spring performance of the reed 500 is weakened, initially, the key 400 can still lift the reed 500 by virtue of the elastic force of the reset elastic member 401, so that the reed 500 cannot contact with the trigger terminal 320; when the trigger is triggered, the key 400 is pressed down, the reed 500 is influenced by self gravity, and the tail end of the reed is still inclined downwards and is contacted with the trigger bending end 321. That is, even if the elastic performance of the reed 500 is weakened, the micro switch 10 can be operated normally, thereby ensuring stability and extending the service life.
It is emphasized that in the present invention, the supporting terminal 310 and the triggering terminal 320 are simple in structure and are both of an integrated structure. During processing, the basic shapes of the supporting terminal 310 and the triggering terminal 320 can be manufactured by only one simple stamping; and then bending the corresponding positions of the tail ends of the supporting terminal 310 and the triggering terminal 320. The end of the supporting terminal 310 is cut and divided into a supporting bending end 311 and a pressing bending end 312, and the position of the pressing bending end 312 after molding is higher than the position of the supporting bending end 311, so that the bending equipment needs to bend the two positions respectively.
Thus, compared with the prior art, the terminal assembly 300 has the advantages of simple and reliable structure, convenient processing, low production cost and the like. Moreover, the supporting bending end 311 and the pressing bending end 312 are directly formed at the tail end of the bent supporting terminal 310, and a height difference exists between the supporting bending end 311 and the pressing bending end, so that the reed 500 can be clamped and fixed during preliminary assembly, and the subsequent welding of the fixed end 501 is facilitated.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the reed 500 is also in an integral structure, the reed 500 is provided with two parallel and independent elastic arms 502, the ends of the two elastic arms 502 are arranged on the key 400, the elastic arms 502 have an elastic tendency to approach the trigger terminal 320, and a concave and curved arch notch 503 is formed at the connection part of the elastic arms 502 and the fixed end 501. The design of the arched notch 503 can better maintain the elastic performance of the elastic arm 502. The independent design of the two elastic arms 502 is to improve the reliability of the reed 500, when the key 400 is pressed down, if one of the elastic arms 502 is blocked or loses elasticity and cannot work normally, the other elastic arm 502 can still contact the trigger terminal 320 normally, so as to realize circuit conduction. In addition, the structure of the reed 500 can be directly machined by a stamping mode, and the advantage of low machining cost is achieved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, two guide posts 110 are disposed on the base 100, and the slider seat 420 of the key 400 is slidably disposed on the guide posts 110 and is limited by the guide posts 110. The top end of the guide upright post 110 is provided with a barb 111, the slide block seat 420 is provided with wedge blocks 421 matched with the barb 111 (as shown in fig. 7), and the number of the wedge blocks 421 is four, and every two wedge blocks 421 are matched with one guide upright post 110. The guide post 110 is provided with a rib 112, and two wedge blocks 421 are clamped on two sides of the rib 112.
During assembly, a worker presses the key 400 downwards from the top end of the guide upright posts 110, and the barbs 111 are in extrusion fit with the inclined surfaces of the wedge-shaped blocks 421, so that the slide block seat 420 is sunk between the two guide upright posts 110; after the slider seat 420 is sunk, the inclined surface of the wedge 421 can no longer be in press fit with the barb 111, so that the slider seat 420 is difficult to pass over the barb 111, i.e. the barb 111 limits the upper height limit of the slider seat 420. Meanwhile, two adjacent wedge blocks 421 can clamp the convex edges 112, so that the sliding block seat 420 is limited by the guide upright post 110, and the sliding block seat 420 can only slide and cannot rotate in the height range of the guide upright post 110, thereby ensuring the stability of the lifting and sliding of the key 400 on the base 100.
Preferably, the sliding block seat 420 is provided with a deflection limiting rib 422 (as shown in fig. 7), and the inner wall of the housing 200 is provided with a deflection limiting groove (not shown) matched with the deflection limiting rib 422. The cooperation of the deflection limiting ribs 422 and the deflection limiting grooves can effectively prevent the occurrence of deflection jamming of the sliding block seat 420 in the lifting sliding process, so that smooth movement of the key 400 is ensured.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 3 and 7, the reset elastic member 401 has a spring structure, the base 100 is provided with a positioning pin 120, the reset elastic member 401 is sleeved on the positioning pin 120, and two ends of the reset elastic member 401 respectively support against the base 100 and the slide block seat 420. The function of the positioning pin 120 is to prevent the reset spring 401 from tilting, dislocating, etc. during operation.
On the premise of the microswitch 10 based on the above structure, the designer finds that the installation process of the elastic sealing cap 210 is complicated and difficult, mainly because of the following:
on the one hand, since the key 400 is a movable part and cannot be effectively fixed, when the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, the key 400 is subject to external pressure to float up and down, which makes the installation of the elastic sealing cap 210 difficult;
on the other hand, when the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 and the mounting groove 220 are bonded by glue, and the sleeving step and the bonding step are required to be completed rapidly within the same time period according to the requirement of the operation instruction, so as to ensure the stability of glue bonding; if the elastic sealing cap 210 is first sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, it becomes extremely difficult to adhere glue between the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 and the mounting groove 220; if glue is adhered between the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 and the mounting groove 220, and then the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, the glue is easily adhered to other irrelevant components.
To this end, the present invention also provides an assembling method of the micro switch 10 to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. To accommodate the installation of the elastomeric seal cap 210, the present invention also provides an installation tool assembly 20 for use with the assembly method.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the mounting tool assembly 20 includes a hollow jig sleeve 600 and a piston 700 sliding in the jig sleeve 600, a piston rod 710 passing through the jig sleeve 600 is disposed on the piston 700, and a avoiding hole 701 matching with the key 400 is formed on the piston 700, and the jig sleeve 600 has an accommodating opening 601. In operation, the operator can use the jig sleeve 600 to clamp the elastic sealing cap 210 and sleeve the elastic sealing cap 210 on the key 400, and the specific operation flow is as follows (please refer to fig. 9, 10 and 11 together):
firstly, the elastic sealing cap 210 is clamped in the accommodating opening 601 of the jig sleeve 600, and the clamped elastic sealing cap 210 is not easy to fall from the accommodating opening 601 because the elastic sealing cap 210 has elasticity;
next, the operator holds the tool sleeve 600 in his palm, touches the piston rod 710 with his thumb (temporarily does not press), dips the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 with glue, and then moves the installation tool assembly 20 and the elastic sealing cap 210 over the key 400 (specifically over the press stud 410). The jig sleeve 600 (shown in fig. 10) is preferably pressed down, the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 is pressed into the mounting groove 220, and the elastic sealing cap 210 contacts the housing 200 to achieve glue bonding. It should be noted that, during the pressing of the jig sleeve 600, since the pressing post 410 cannot break through the socket at the top of the elastic sealing cap 210, the elastic sealing cap 210 presses the pressing post 410, so that the key 400 moves downward along with the elastic sealing cap 210;
after the jig sleeve 600 is pressed to the bottom, the thumb of the worker presses the piston rod 710 again (as shown in fig. 11), so that the piston 700 compresses the elastic sealing cap 210. At this time, the elastic sealing cap 210 will be deformed initially, the position of the sleeve opening at the top of the elastic sealing cap 210 will be lowered, and the key 400 will be driven to move down until the bottom (the key 400 cannot move any more), at this time, the pressing column 410 will not break through the sleeve opening at the top of the elastic sealing cap 210; as the piston 700 further descends, the deformation of the elastic sealing cap 210 is intensified, and the compression column 410 eventually breaks through the socket at the top of the elastic sealing cap 210 to complete the sleeving, i.e. the top of the compression column 410 enters the avoiding hole 701. It is noted that as the plunger 700 descends, the plunger 700 has a tendency to push the elastomeric seal cap 210 out of the receiving opening 601, and the elastomeric seal cap 210 will remain stable on the key 400 when the operator removes the installation tool assembly 20.
Further, in order to further improve the tightness between the elastic sealing cap 210 and the housing 200, after the glue bonding is completed, a hot riveting process may be further used to perform hot riveting flanging on the elastic sealing cap 210.
By the above assembly method, on one hand, the elastic sealing cap 210 can be conveniently sleeved on the key 400, so that the difficulty of traditional manual operation is reduced; on the other hand, while the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 is adhered to the mounting groove 220 by glue. The sleeving step and the bonding step are completed rapidly within the same time period, so that the bonding stability of the glue is ensured, and the working efficiency is improved.
Preferably, the piston 700 is provided with a limiting piece 720 (as shown in fig. 9), the limiting piece 720 abuts against the inner wall of the jig sleeve 600, and the limiting piece 720 is used for preventing the piston 700 from being laterally deviated in the sliding process, so as to cause a clamping stagnation phenomenon during pressing.
Next, an assembly method of the entire micro switch 10 is described, including the steps of:
1. mounting the terminal assembly 300 on the base 100;
2. mounting the key 400 on the base 100;
3. welding the fixed end 501 of the reed 500 to the support bent end 311 of the support terminal 310;
4. cover the case 200 to the base 100;
5. the elastic sealing cap 210 is mounted by using the mounting tool assembly 20 such that the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, and simultaneously, the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 is bonded with the mounting groove 220 by glue.
In summary, the micro switch 10 of the present invention can ensure the stability of the connection position of the reed 500, cope with the elastic degradation of the reed 500, improve the stability of the micro switch 10 and prolong the service life. According to the micro-switch assembly method, on one hand, the elastic sealing cap 210 can be conveniently sleeved on the key 400, so that the difficulty of traditional manual operation is reduced; on the other hand, while the elastic sealing cap 210 is sleeved on the pressing post 410 of the key 400, the bottom of the elastic sealing cap 210 is adhered to the mounting groove 220 by glue. The sleeving step and the bonding step are completed rapidly within the same time period, so that the bonding stability of the glue is ensured and the working efficiency is improved.
