Definitions

  • a mechanical position switch comprises a body, generally of parallelepiped shape, and a head fixed on the body along a main axis.
  • the switch comprises a switching device and actuating means arranged to cooperate with the switching device.
  • the actuating means comprise an actuating member such as for example a lever operable in pivoting. The detection of a movement of an object is performed by mechanical actuation of the actuating member.
  • the actuating means also comprise a shaft rotated by the actuating member about an axis of rotation and a plunger mounted on a spring and for controlling the switching device.
  • a cam mechanism arranged on the shaft and the pusher, makes it possible to convert the rotational movement of the shaft into a translation movement of the pusher and vice versa.
  • Licences FR2134814 and US4133991 describe a position switch as known in the state of the art.
  • the actuating member is actuated with an amplitude of plus or minus 70 ° with respect to an axial direction. To avoid any risk of breakage of the switch, it is necessary to take into account this maximum angle when installing the switch relative to the object whose movement is to be detected. Of course, it is possible to provide position switches having greater rotational amplitudes but this can also be problematic.
  • each cam serves to activate the pusher on either side of the main axis.
  • Each cam is arranged to act on a distinct side, depending on the direction of rotation of the shaft.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a position switch allowing rotation of its actuating member at an angle of about 90 ° without risk of locking in this position, the solution of the invention not requiring the use a torsion spring or misalignment of the fulcrum between the shaft and the pusher.
  • the first torque is zero on the second range of rotation of the shaft.
  • first cam and the second cam are juxtaposed along the shaft and the first cam follower and the second cam follower are juxtaposed on the pusher.
  • the spring is a compression spring urging the pusher in translation in an axial direction.
  • the actuating member is a lever or a flexible rod.
  • the head is removably attached to the body and is rotatable about the main axis relative to the body.
  • the tree is housed inside the head.
  • the switching device is housed inside the body.
  • the pusher is arranged between the shaft and the switching device.
  • the pivoting plane of the actuating member is parallel to the main axis and perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shaft.
  • the actuating member is movable in rotation more or less 90 ° with respect to a rest position located along the main axis.
  • a mechanical position switch typically comprises a body 1, generally of parallelepipedal shape, and a head 2 fixed on the body.
  • the assembly of the head on the body is made along an axis called the main axis (X).
  • the head 2 is preferably removable relative to the body 1 so as to take different orientations around the main axis.
  • the position switch comprises an actuating member 3 fixed on the head 2, composed for example of a lever or a flexible rod, and positioned in the path of the object 6 whose movement is to be detected.
  • This actuating member 3 is pivotally movable. It is fixed on a shaft 30 movable in rotation about an axis of rotation (Y).
  • this axis of rotation is perpendicular to the main axis (X) and located in the same plane as this one.
  • the shaft 30 is rotated about its axis by the actuating member 3 when the latter is pivotally biased. Initially, the actuating member 3 is in a rest position, for example along the main axis (X).
  • the position switch also comprises a pusher 4 arranged to cooperate with the shaft 30.
  • This pusher 4 is movable in translation in a direction parallel to the main axis (X) and held against the shaft 30 by a spring 40, preferentially a compression spring.
  • the position switch comprises a cam mechanism arranged on the pusher 4 and on the shaft 30 to transform the rotational movement of the shaft 30 into a translational movement of the pusher 4 during an action on the body. actuating 3, or transforming the translational movement of the pusher 4 biased by its spring 40 into a rotational movement of the shaft 30 during the reaction movement.
  • the position switch comprises a switching device 5 controlled by the pusher 4 in translation. An electrical signal is transmitted by the switch when the switching device 5 is in the closed state. According to the configuration of the position switch (normally open or normally closed), the electrical signal will be transmitted when the actuating member 3 is in the rest position or in the actuated position.
  • the Figures 1A to 1C illustrate the operating principle of a mechanical position switch.
  • the actuating member 3 is pivotally actuated by the moving object 6. Pivoting of the actuating member 3 causes the shaft 30 to rotate about its axis (Y), which, thanks to the cam mechanism, causes the plunger 4 to move against the spring 40. The pusher 4 then acting on the switching device 5. If the object 6 is urged on the actuating member 3 stops, the actuating member 3 is pushed back to its rest position by the spring 40 which then acts in reaction.
  • the invention consists in producing a cam mechanism which comprises two cams and two distinct cam followers.
  • the pusher 4 On a first range of rotation of the shaft 30 about its axis (Y), the pusher 4 is driven in translation via a first cam 7 and a first cam follower 70 and a second range of rotation of the shaft 30 around its axis (Y), the pusher 4 is driven in translation via a second cam 8 and a second cam follower 80.
  • the first cam 7 and the first cam follower 70 generate between them a non-zero torque for rotation of the shaft 30 about its axis (Y) in the two directions of rotation.
  • the second cam 8 and the second cam follower 80 generate between them a non-zero torque for rotating the shaft 30 about its axis (Y) in both directions of rotation.
  • the first cam 7 and the second cam 8 are formed on the shaft 30. They are for example juxtaposed thereon along the axis of rotation (Y).
  • first cam follower 70 and the second cam follower 80 are formed on the pusher 4.
  • the first cam follower 70 and the second cam follower 80 are juxtaposed on the pusher 4 and are arranged so as to be in front of the first cam 7 and the second cam 8 when the head 2 is assembled ( Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • the first cam 7 and the first cam follower 70 are formed so as to maintain a non-zero torque on the first range of rotation of the shaft 30, which allows a return of the actuating member 3 to its rest position on this rotation range.
  • the second cam 8 and the second cam follower 80 are arranged to maintain a non-zero torque between the shaft 30 and the pusher 4 on the second rotation range, when the rotation of the shaft is continued in the same direction. direction of rotation, beyond the first range of rotation, to not block the actuator 3 even if it has been rotated to the second range of rotation.
  • the actuating member 3 is biased in the clockwise direction by the moving object.
  • a counter-clockwise request respects the same principle.
  • the actuating member 3 is rotated, clockwise, on the first range of rotation, driving the shaft 30 about its axis of rotation (Y).
  • the shaft 30 drives the pusher 4 in translation, which acts on the switching device 5.
  • the pusher 4 remains biased by the shaft 30 thanks to the non-zero torque generated between the second cam 8 and the second cam follower 80.
  • the spring 40 pushes the pusher 4 which, through the second cam follower 80 and the second cam 8 causes a rotation of the shaft 30 in the counterclockwise direction, the torque being non-zero on this second range of rotation, located beyond the first range of rotation, in the same direction of rotation of the shaft.
  • the invention thus allows the actuator member of a position switch to rotate more or less 90 ° from its rest position, without risk of blockage.
