Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a microswitch unit which can be associated with a gas supply control tap, in particular for cooking hobs and the like.
  • Microswitch units of this kind are typically used to operate electric components of the cooking hob and for sending signals to control boards.
  • the microswitch unit is associated with a stem of the tap by means of an external spring and an elastic circlip using an assembly procedure which is fairly complex and costly.
  • a microswitch is disclosed by the document WO 0102776 .
  • the present invention relates to a microswitch unit according to claim 1.
  • the microswitch unit according to the invention may be easily associated with a gas supply control tap by engaging the snap-engaging means of the top portion of the actuating member with a circumferential groove which is typically present on the outer surface of the stem of a tap.
  • microswitch unit according to the invention also has the further advantages of the low cost of its component parts and the suitability for adaptation to gas supply control taps of the most varying type and size.
  • a microswitch unit 10 is associated ( Fig. 1 ) with a stem 12 of a gas supply control tap 14, in particular for cooking hobs and the like.
  • the exploded view of Fig. 2 shows various components of the unit 10 and in particular: a fixed casing formed by a hollow body 16 and by a cover 18, a fixed contact strip 20 and a movable contact strip 22 facing each other, a first and a second electric wire 24, 26, a resilient recall member such as a helical spring 28 and an actuating member such as a bush 30.
  • the body 16 of the casing is shaped substantially in the form of a parallelepiped and the cover 18 is mounted on the upper side of the body 16.
  • the upper surface of the body 16 and the cover 18 have respective openings 32a, 32b which are able to allow, as described in detail below, the displacement of the bush 30.
  • the perimeter of the opening 32b formed on the cover 18 is surrounded by an annular shoulder 34 so as to prevent the penetration of liquids inside the casing, which for example are produced by condensation of vapour or are accidentally spilled on the cooking hob.
  • the body 16 has, moreover, respective seats 36 for housing the first and second electric wire 24, 26 which co-operate with ribs 38 of the cover 18, preventing closure thereof if the wires 24, 26 are not correctly positioned inside the respective seats 36.
  • the movable contact strip 22 is shaped substantially in the form of a U and has a first fixed arm 40, provided with an incision 42 for insertion of the first electric wire 24 with cutting of its insulating sheath, and a second arm 44 movable towards the fixed contact strip 20.
  • the movable arm 44 has moreover a protuberance 46 directed towards the bush 30.
  • the fixed contact strip 20 has a first portion 48, provided with an incision 50 for the insertion of the second electric wire 26 with cutting of its insulating sheath, and a second portion 52 arranged alongside the first portion 48 and facing the movable arm 44 of the movable contact strip 22.
  • the bush 30 has a circular base portion 54 which is slidably mounted inside the casing and a top portion 56 with a frustoconical shape formed by a ring of inclined elastic lugs 58 alternating with slits 60.
  • the lugs 58 act as means for snap-engagement with a circumferential groove 62 present on the outer surface of the stem 12 of the tap 14.
  • Spacers 64 projecting internally inside the bush 30 ensure that the latter and the stem 12 are coaxial.
  • the helical spring 28 is arranged between a flat piece 66 radially projecting from the bottom end of the base portion 54 of the bush 30 and a bottom surface of the casing so as to be coaxial with respect to the stem 12 of the tap 14.
  • the base portion 54 has, in addition to feet 68 for guiding its sliding movement inside the casing, a bottom lug 70 formed by a flat piece 72 having, protruding radially therefrom, a stud 74 able to bias the outer surface of the movable arm 44 of the movable contact strip 22.
  • the outer surface of the flat piece 72 also has, at one of its bottom ends, a chamfer 76 able to interact with the protuberance 46 of the movable contact strip 22.
  • Figure 3 shows the microswitch unit in the rest configuration with the associated electric circuit open.
  • the stud 74 pushes upwards the outer surface of the movable arm 44, keeping it disengaged from the fixed contact strip 20.
  • FIG. 7 shows by way of example four microswitch units 10 arranged in succession along the wires 24, 26 having at their end a faston or dedicated connector 82. For greater clarity, Figure 7 does not show the gas supply control taps.
  • microswitch unit may be manufactured with forms and dimensions such as to adapt to the most varied range of configurations and sizes of tap stem.
