Introduction
Micro switches undertake crucial tasks such as safety control, status feedback, and human-machine interaction in transportation fields including cars, electric vehicle charging stations, and rail transit. From transmitting brake signals to detecting door status, they ensure the safety and smoothness of transportation through precise actions.
The role in the brake light switch
When the brake is applied, the brake light immediately turns on as the brake pedal is depressed. This is where the brake micro switch comes into play. Its response time is less than 10 milliseconds, enabling the circuit to be connected instantly, allowing the following vehicle to receive the deceleration signal in time. This design is mandatory by safety regulations. After all, alerting the following vehicle a second earlier can reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. Whether it's a passenger car or a large truck, this micro switch is the most crucial part of the braking system.
The role in the door lock
In the door lock, micro switches also play an extremely critical role. Whether the door is fully closed can be known through the micro switch. When the door is fully closed, the switch is triggered, not only allowing the central locking to automatically lock but also turning off the interior ceiling lights, which is both safe and energy-efficient. During vehicle movement, bumps are inevitable, and these switches can withstand 10G vibrations. Even on bumpy roads, they won't malfunction. Moreover, they have a lifespan of up to 500,000 times, equivalent to a car being driven for over a decade, and the switch will never "break down", always monitoring the door status.
The important role in the gear shifting mechanism to prevent skidding
The precise positioning of micro switches enables the automatic gear shift P lock. When the gearshift lever is pushed into the P gear, the switch immediately detects and triggers the locking mechanism, fixing the wheels and preventing the car from accidentally skidding. It can withstand over 5Nm of torque, even on slopes, and can firmly lock the gear position.
The key role in the locking of the charging gun
For electric vehicles charging, the locking of the charging gun is very important. When the charging gun is inserted into the interface, the micro switch triggers the locking device to prevent it from falling off during charging. It supports a current voltage of 16A/480V DC and also has a temperature monitoring function. If the temperature of the charging port exceeds a certain level, it will trigger an alarm to ensure charging safety.
