1. The structure and function of the waterproof micro switch of the sweeping robot

The waterproof micro switch is a contact structure with a small contact interval and a snap-action mechanism. It is covered with a shell and has a driving rod on the outside to achieve waterproof function. In sweeping robots, waterproof micro switches are mainly used to control various actions of the robot, such as forward, backward, turning, cleaning, etc. When the sweeping robot receives an instruction, its internal control system will send a signal to the waterproof micro switch. After the waterproof micro switch receives the signal, its internal contacts will move quickly, thereby driving the motor or other actuators of the sweeping robot to complete the corresponding action. At the same time, because the waterproof micro switch is waterproof, it can ensure the normal operation of the sweeping robot even in humid or dusty environments.

The waterproof micro switch has an exquisite structural design, which not only meets the waterproof requirements, but also ensures the sensitivity and reliability of the switch. The shell is made of waterproof material and has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the inside of the switch. The shape and size of the housing are designed according to actual needs, which not only facilitates installation, but also protects the internal electrical components.

The contact is the core component of the waterproof micro switch and is used to make the circuit on and off. Contacts are usually made of metal materials with good electrical conductivity, which have small contact resistance and long service life. The spacing and shape of the contacts are carefully designed to ensure rapid action when external forces are applied. The spring is the power source of the waterproof micro switch. It converts external force into the power of contact action through elastic deformation. The choice of spring material and shape is critical to the sensitivity and reliability of the switch.

The transmission mechanism is used to transmit external mechanical force to the contacts to make the switch on and off. The transmission mechanism usually consists of levers, rollers and other components. Its design needs to take into account the size, direction and point of action of the force to ensure the accuracy and stability of the switch action. The terminal block is the connection point between the waterproof micro switch and the external circuit, and is used to realize the input and output of current. Terminal blocks usually use reliable connection methods, such as screw fixing or welding, to ensure the stability and safety of the circuit.

The waterproof micro switch of the sweeping robot plays a vital role in the operation of the robot. The waterproof micro switch controls the actions of the robot’s motor or other actuators by receiving instructions from the control system, thereby realizing the robot’s forward, backward, and Turning and other motion states. The sensitivity and reliability of the switch directly affect the movement accuracy and stability of the robot.

During the operation of the sweeping robot, a waterproof micro switch can be installed on the front or side of the robot to detect whether the robot collides with an obstacle or wall. When the robot comes into contact with an obstacle, the micro switch will act quickly, triggering the obstacle avoidance mechanism of the control system, causing the robot to stop or change its direction in time to avoid damaging furniture or other items.

The waterproof micro switch can also be used to control the power status of the sweeping robot. For example, when the robot’s battery power is too low, the micro switch can trigger the power management system, causing the robot to automatically return to the charging base for charging. In addition, when an abnormality occurs in the robot, such as motor overload or circuit short circuit, the micro switch can quickly cut off the power supply to protect the robot’s electrical components from damage. With the development of technology, waterproof micro switches can also integrate sensor functions to sense the humidity, temperature and other parameters of the environment around the robot. According to changes in environmental parameters, micro switches can automatically adjust the working status of the robot, such as adjusting cleaning power, changing cleaning modes, etc., to adapt to the needs of different scenarios.

Working principle of waterproof micro switch for sweeping robot

As an important member of modern smart homes, sweeping robots have penetrated more and more deeply into our daily lives. They can carry out cleaning work autonomously under our guidance, greatly reducing our housework burden. Among them, the waterproof micro switch, as a key component in the sweeping robot control system, plays a vital role. This article will explain in detail the working principle of the waterproof micro switch of the sweeping robot and its important role in the work of the sweeping robot.

First, we need to clarify the basic structure and characteristics of the waterproof micro switch. A waterproof micro switch is a tiny electronic component used to control the electrical connection or disconnection of electrical and electronic equipment. It has a small contact interval and a snap-action mechanism, and performs switching actions through a specified stroke and a specified force. The distinguishing features of this switch are its small size, high sensitivity, good reliability, and waterproof function, which can cope with humid or dusty environments.

The working principle of waterproof micro switch is mainly based on the conversion of mechanical force and electrical signal. It contains key components such as action reeds, transmission components, and contacts. When external mechanical force acts on the action reed through transmission elements (such as push pins, buttons, levers, rollers, etc.), the action reed will produce displacement. When this displacement reaches a critical point, the movable contact at the end of the action reed will quickly connect or disconnect with the fixed contact, thereby realizing the switching of the circuit.

When the sweeping robot needs to perform a certain action (such as forward, backward, turning, etc.), the control system will send corresponding instructions to the waterproof micro switch. This command is converted into mechanical force through the transmission element and acts on the action reed. As the displacement of the action reed increases, when it reaches the critical point, the movable contact will quickly contact the fixed contact, thereby closing the circuit, allowing the current to pass, and driving the actuator of the sweeping robot to complete the corresponding action.

When the sweeping robot needs to stop an action or change its direction, the control system will also send corresponding instructions to the waterproof micro switch. At this time, the force on the transmission element will change, causing the action reed to move in the opposite direction. When the reverse displacement reaches the critical point of the reed’s action, the movable contact will quickly disconnect from the fixed contact, thus breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current. The actuator of the sweeping robot will also stop the current action or change the direction of action.

The waterproof micro switch has small contact spacing, short action stroke, small pressing force, and quick on and off. This allows it to complete the on-and-off operation of the circuit in a very short time, thereby ensuring that the sweeping robot can quickly respond to control instructions and achieve precise and efficient cleaning work. The waterproof function of the waterproof micro switch is also one of the important reasons why it is widely used in sweeping robots. Since sweeping robots need to work in various environments, including wet or dusty places, their internal electrical components must have good waterproof performance. The waterproof micro switch uses special waterproof materials and sealing design to effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the inside of the switch, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch.

In the practical application of sweeping robots, waterproof micro switches also play a role in safety protection. For example, when the sweeping robot encounters an obstacle or lacks power, the control system will send instructions to the waterproof micro switch to quickly cut off the power or change the direction of movement to avoid the robot colliding with obstacles or shutting down due to exhaustion of power. . This safety protection function effectively reduces the risk of malfunction or damage to the sweeping robot and improves the user experience.

The working principle of the waterproof micro switch of the sweeping robot is based on the conversion of mechanical force and electrical signals. It achieves precise control of the movement of the sweeping robot by accurately controlling the on-off operation of the contacts. At the same time, its waterproof function and safety protection function also provide a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the sweeping robot. With the continuous advancement of technology and increasing application requirements, the performance and functions of waterproof micro switches will be further improved and optimized, injecting more vitality into the future development of sweeping robots.

In specific work, the sensitivity and accuracy of the waterproof micro switch are its key performance indicators. In order to ensure that the sweeping robot can accurately respond to various control instructions, the waterproof micro switch needs to have extremely fast response speed and extremely high stability. In addition, waterproof micro switches also need to have a long service life and a low failure rate to ensure the long-term stable operation of the sweeping robot.

In order to achieve these performance requirements, waterproof micro switches adopt a variety of advanced technologies in the design and manufacturing process. For example, by optimizing the structure and materials of transmission components, the sensitivity and stability of the switch can be improved; by using high-quality contact and spring materials, the failure rate of the switch can be reduced and the service life can be increased; through strict sealing design and waterproof treatment , which can ensure the normal operation of the switch in various harsh environments.

With the rapid development of smart home technology and people’s continuous improvement in quality of life requirements, the functions and performance of sweeping robots will also be continuously improved. In the future, waterproof micro switches will continue to play an important role as a key component in the control system of sweeping robots. We can foresee that future waterproof micro switches will be more intelligent and precise, able to better adapt to various complex environments and diverse needs, bringing better performance and experience to sweeping robots.
