Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic switch, comprising: an armature; a slider configured to manually move to actuate the armature; and a deformable force transfer element positioned between the slider and the armature, wherein the slider is configured to be pressed against the deformable force transfer element to actuate the armature with a press force, and wherein the deformable force transfer element is configured to deform when a press force threshold value is exceeded to limit a transferable force from the slider onto the armature.
Claims18
An electromagnetic switch, comprising:
- an armature;
- a slider configured to manually move to actuate the armature;
- and
- a deformable force transfer element positioned between the slider and the armature, wherein the slider is configured to be pressed against the deformable force transfer element to actuate the armature with a press force, and wherein the deformable force transfer element is configured to deform when a press force threshold value is exceeded to limit a transferable force from the slider onto the armature;
- wherein the deformable force transfer element comprises a deformable tongue, wherein the slider is configured to be pressed against the deformable tongue, and wherein the deformable tongue is configured to deform when the press force threshold value is exceeded to absorb the press force of the slider;
- wherein the deformable force transfer element is surrounded by a circumferential frame that is fixed to the armature, wherein a window is formed in the circumferential frame, and wherein the deformable tongue is mounted on one side on the circumferential frame and a deformation of the deformable force transfer element is absorbed at least partially by the window.
