Definitions

  • a rotor of a switch actuator includes a selector cam having a serrated cam surface which mates with the serrated cam surface on a selector cam follower.
  • the selector cam follower is slidably retained within an actuator sleeve which surrounds the rotor and the cam follower is forced into mating engagement with the selector cam by a bias spring.
  • the force of the spring is translated by the serrated cam surfaces into a torque which provides a snap-action when the rotor is rotated between its selectable positions.
  • the invention relates to control switches, and more particularly, to switches of the rotary selector type commonly attached to control panels associated with electrical apparatus.
  • Selector switches are used in industry where they are employed to control electrical equipment.
  • the switches are commonly mounted to the front panel of enclosures for such electrical equipment as motor starters, motor speed control circuits, and numerical control directors.
  • the switches are sealed to prevent the entry of oil and other foreign material into the equipment enclosure.
  • Prior selector switches include detent mechanisms which operate to provide a plurality of switch positions. Such detent mechanisms are located within the actuator section of the switch and include a ball which is spring biased against a surface which contains a plurality of detents. There are a number of detent mechanism arrangements, including ones in which the ball is spring biased in the direction of the central switch axis, as illustrated in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,798,908 and 2,814,681, and ones in which the ball is spring biased radially outward from the central axis, as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 2,947,827. After a period of use, such prior detent mechanisms often fail to provide a crisp, snap-action which is highly desirable in industrial environments where noise and vibration are present.
  • the present invention relates to an improved selector switch actuator mechanism which provides a positive switching force between selectable positions.
  • the switch actuator includes an actuator sleeve having a central opening about an acutator axis, an actuator rotor journaled within the central opening of the actuator sleeve and having an integrally formed actuator cam which communicates with the contact section of the switch, a selector cam formed on the actuator rotor around its outer surface, a selector cam follower disposed around the actuator rotor and slidably retained within the central opening of the actuator sleeve, and a bias spring positioned to force the selector cam follower into mating engagement with the selector cam.
  • the selector cam and selector cam follower each have serrated cam surfaces which mate with one another in a plurality of rotor positions.
  • the serrations on the cam surfaces provide angulated surfaces which translate the spring bias force into a rotary torque which snaps the rotor into one of its selectable positions.
  • a general object of the invention is to provide a selector switch actuator mechanism which provides a crisp, snap-action when operated.
  • the relatively large bias spring is located within the central opening of the actuator sleeve and around the actuator rotor. It provides a substantial longitudinal force along the switch axis which is translated to a rotary force, or torque, by the serrated cam surfaces.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a selector switch actuator which requires a minimal number of parts and which is easily assembled on a mass production basis.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a selector switch which incorporates the invented switch actuator
  • FIG. 2 is a view in cross section of the switch of FIG. 1 taken on the plane 22,
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the switch of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is an end view of the actuator sleeve which forms a part of the switch of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 5 is a view in cross section of the actuator sleeve of FIG. 4 taken on the plane 55,
  • FIG. 6 is a view in cross section similar to FIG. 2, but showing the switch between two of its selectable positions
  • FIG. 7 is a pictoral view with parts cut away of an alternative rotor arrangement and its associated selector knob.
  • a selector switch adapted for attachment to a control panel includes an actuator section 1 and a contact block section 2.
  • the contact block section 2 includes a pair of switch cartridges, each of which contains two sets of electrical contacts. The contacts in each cartridge are operated by a plunger 3 connected for reciprocal motion in the direction of the switch axis and biased in a forward, or unactuated position by a spring 4.
  • the contact block section 2 is an integral unit which is separable from the actuator section 1 and in which the cartridges therein may be interchanged to provide different modes of operation.
  • Such separable contact block sections in which the contacts are opened or closed by the operation of a plunger are well known in the art and reference is made to the copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 270,420 for a more detailed description of the contact block section 2.
  • the actuator section 1 includes an actuator sleeve 5 made of a zinc alloy and including an integrally formed rectangular bearing plate 6.
  • the bearing plate 6 extends radially outward from the surface of the actuator sleeve 5 atits back end, and a set of four openings 7 are formed therethroughto receive a set of four mounting screws 8.
  • a central, circular opening is formed completely through the actuator sleeve 5 along and concentric about a central axis 9.
  • the central opening is necked at its forward end by a flange 10 which extends radially inward from the sleeve 5 to form a seat lll for an annular shaped gasket I2.
  • a second constriction of lesser extent is formed immediately behind the flange 10 to provide an annular shaped thrust surface 13, and a pair of opposing keyways 14 are formed along the inner surface of the actuator sleeve 5, beginning from its back surface and terminating at a point intermediate its ends.
  • the actuator frame 16 is generally rectangular in shape and is formed from molded plastic. It includes a central opening concentric with the central axis 9, and an annular shaped recess 17 formed on its front surface concentric with the central axis 9.
  • the recess 17 defines a circular cavity which is larger in diameter than the central opening and which is lo cated immediately behind the bearing plate 6.
  • a pair of stops 18 are integrally formed to the frame 16 and extend radially inward into this cavity.
  • a ring 19 is also integrally formed to the actuator frame 16. The ring 19 is concentric about the central axis 9 and extends from the back surface of the actuator frame 16 into a circular recess 20 which is formed on the front surface of the contact block section 2.
  • the assembled contact block section 2, actuator frame l6 and actuator sleeve 5 are mounted to a control panel 23 by a fastener mechanism carried by a rectangular shaped cover 22.
  • a set of four rubber gaskets 23 are placed over the actuator sleeve 5 and against the front surface of the bearing plate 6.
  • the actuator sleeve 5 is then inserted through an opening in the control panel 21 and the cover 22 is fitted over the sleeve 5 and attached to the panel 21l.
  • a rectangular face plate 31 fits within the cavity defined by the cover 22 and is retained against the forward end of the actuator sleeve 5 by a selector knob 30.
  • the rotor 24 is formed from molded plastic and includes a circular, cylindrical stem portion 25 which extends forward through the constricted opening defined by the flange 10 at the forward end of the actuator sleeve 5.
  • the stem 25 has a necked portion near its forward end which forms a seat 26 for an O ring 27.
  • a central opening 45 is formed through the rotor 24 and the knob 3i) is inserted into the forward end of this opening.
  • the knob 30 includes a pair of arms 47 which extend into the opening 45 and expand radially outward to engage a retainer surface 46 formed by a constriction in the opening 45.
  • a circumferential groove 48 is formed on the outer surface of each arm 47 to define a knuckle 49 which engages the retainer surface 86.
  • a plastic insert 50 is wedged between the arms 47 to increase their rigidity and to thereby enhance their holding power when the knob 30 is snapped into place.
  • the rotor 24 also includes an integrally formed retainer flange 32 which extends radially outward from its surface and into the cavity defined by the recess 17. The rotor 24 is thus restrained against axial motion by the back surface of the bearing plate 6 and the recessed front surface of the actuator frame 16.
  • a limit tab 33 is integrally formed to the retainer flange 32 and extends radially outward therefrom over a sector of its circumference. The limit tab 33 rides within the recess 17 and engages the stops 18 therein to inhibit rotation of the rotor 24.
  • integrally formed to the rotor 24 immediately behind the retainer flange 32 is an actuator cam 34.
  • the actuator cam 34 includes a contoured cam surface 35 which bears against the ends of the plungers 3 extending from the contact block section 2.
  • the cam surface 35 is comprised of a series of complex surfaces which translate the rotational motion of the rotor 24 into the desired axial motion of the plungers 3. This method of actuating the switches in the contact block section 2 is well known in the art, the numerous cam surfaces 35 are available to provide the desired switching operation.
  • a selector cam 36 is integrally formed to the rotor 24 and is positioned immediately forward of the retainer flange 32.
  • the selector cam 36 extends around the outer surface of the rotor 24 and includes a serrated cam surface 37 which faces axially forward.
  • Cooperating with the selector cam 36 is a separate, annular shaped selector cam follower 38 which is disposed around the stem 25 of the rotor 24.
  • the selector cam follower 38 is restrained against rotation by a pair of integrally formed opposing keys 39 which extend radially outward from its surface into the keyways 14 formed on the inner surface of the actuator sleeve 5.
  • the selector cam follower 38 is thus slidably mounted to the actuator sleeve 5 for limited motion in the direction of the central axis 9.
  • the selector cam follower 38 includes a serrated cam surface 40 which faces the cam surface 37 on the selector cam 36 and which mates therewith in a plurality of positions.
  • the selector cam follower 38 is biased into mating engagement with the selector cam 36 by a bias spring 41.
  • the bias spring 41 is disposed around the rotor stem 25 and is positioned between the selector cam follower 38 and a steel washer 42 which rests against the thrust surface 13 formed on the interior of the actuator sleeve 5.
  • the bias spring 41 is slightly compressed to provide a force which acts in the direction of the central axis 9 to thrust the selector cam follower 38 against the selector cam 36.
  • a selector switch actuator has been described which provides a pronounced snap-action.
  • the serrated cam surfaces 37 and 40 are held in mating engagement by a relatively large bias spring 41, and the axial spring force is translated into a torque when the angulated cam surfaces are rotated out of mating engagement.
  • a plurality of selectable positions are thus provided.
  • variations can be made in the shape of the cam surfaces 37 and 40 without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • the number of serrations can be varied to provide the desired number of selectable positions and the desired amount of snap-action can be altered by changing the depth of the serrations. Such an alternative arrangement is illustrated in FIG.
