Definitions
- the present invention relates to a snap action mechanism and a pressure switch.
- a pressure switch is conventionally used as a safety device for a power hot water heater. If the water heater burns, the exhaust fan will rotate. If the fan does not rotate! If it is burned, incomplete combustion may occur and carbon monoxide may be generated. Therefore, pressure switches that transmit wind pressure as an external force and perform contact operation of the contacts have been used to detect the blowing of fan power.
- a conventional pressure switch is a method of performing contact operation of a contact using such a snap action mechanism (see, for example, Patent Document 1). That is, the snap action mechanism functions as a switch that selectively takes one of two positions according to an external force.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the main components of a conventional pressure switch.
- FIG. 10 (a) shows individual parts, and
- FIG. 10 (b) shows a top view of the parts connected together.
- the movable piece 16 and the load adjusting plate 18 shown in FIG. 10 (a) are fixed by caulking at the joint 18a. Further, the hinge part 17c of the movable piece 17 and the load adjusting plate 18 are fixed by caulking at the joint part 18b. Further, in the state of FIG. 10 (b), the hinge portion 17c of the movable piece 17 is fixed to the base 15 made of resin by caulking at the joint portion 17d (see FIG. 11). Further, the plate panel 19 has the locking portions 19a at both ends locked to the locking portions 17e of the movable piece 17 and the locking portion 16b of the movable piece 16, and the opening portions are opposed to both the movable pieces 16, 17. It becomes C letter shape.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the movable piece 16.
- Fig. 11 (a) shows the initial state
- Fig. 11 (b) shows that the plunger 4c connected to the diaphragm is lowered by the wind pressure, and the movable piece 16 faces downward.
- the energized state is shown. Note that the panel panel 19 is omitted in order to facilitate the operation of the movable piece 16.
- the elastic deformation portion When an external force from the plunger 4c is applied to the movable piece 16, the elastic deformation portion is bent to generate a reaction force, and the bending stops when the reaction force is balanced against the external force.
- This elastic deformation part serves as a fulcrum.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the operation of the movable piece 17 in FIG. Contacts 17a and 17b are attached to the tip of both sides of the movable piece 17.
- the contact 17b is in contact with the lower contact 14a
- the contact 17a is on the upper side. It is in contact with contact 12a.
- the movable piece 16 and the plate panel 19 are omitted in order to facilitate the operation of the movable piece 17.
- the movable piece 17 is also elastically deformed, but the movable piece 17 can only move between the upper and lower terminals 12a, 14a.
- This elastically deformable part also serves as a fulcrum as with the movable piece 16.
- FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the operation of a conventional pressure switch.
- FIG. 13 (a) shows an initial state or a return state
- FIG. 13 (b) shows a state in which the movable pieces 16, 17 are inverted by an external force. Since the distal ends of the movable pieces 16 and 17 are connected via the plate panel 19, a repulsive force (arrow in FIG. 13) acts between the distal ends.
- a repulsive force (arrow in FIG. 13) acts between the distal ends.
- FIG. 13A if the tip of the movable piece 16 is on the upper side, the repulsive force acts downward with respect to the tip of the movable piece 17. Therefore, the contact 17b on the lower surface of the distal end of the movable piece 17 comes into contact with the lower contact 14a.
- the position of the movable piece 16 is restrained by the plunger 4c.
- FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a load adjustment mechanism of a conventional pressure switch.
- Fig. 14 (a) shows the initial state or return state
- Fig. 14 (b) shows the inverted state.
- FIG. 15 is a view showing a deformation of the hinge portion of the movable piece 17.
- the magnitude of the reaction force (load) of the movable piece 16 with respect to the external force can be adjusted. If the elastic deformation part of the movable piece 16 is deflected to a certain size in advance, the reaction force of the movable piece 16 increases. Therefore, even if the displacement of the movable piece 16 is the same, the reaction force is balanced with a larger external force than when there is no deflection. By using this principle, the reversing load of the switch can be adjusted to a desired value.
- the hinge portion 17c of the movable piece 17 is joined to the base 15 by the joint portion 17d (see FIG. 10B).
- the tip 18c of the load adjusting plate 18 is pushed up with the set screw 20 as shown in Fig. 14, the hinge 17c of the movable piece 17 is deformed with the joint 17d as a fulcrum, and the load adjusting plate 18 is lifted ( (See Figure 15).
- the joint 18a between the load adjusting plate 18 and the movable piece 16 is lowered, so that the elastic deformation portion of the movable piece 16 is deflected.
- the hinge portion 17c of the movable piece 17 exceeds the elastic region and becomes a plastic region. Until it is deformed at a steep angle, plastic deformation occurs near the joint 17d of the hinge 17c. Therefore, when the set screw 20 is subsequently loosened, the hinge portion 17c does not return to the initial position. That is, the load adjustment range is narrowed.
- This problem can be solved by increasing the distance between the joint 17d of the movable piece 17 and the tip 18c of the load adjusting plate 18, but this time the length of the movable piece 17 becomes longer and the entire device becomes larger. Another problem arises.
