Abstract
A zipper switch for the DC motor of a ceiling fan has an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell is pivotally disposed with an activating disk, an elastic element, and a zipper connected with the activating disk. One side of the activating disk has a connecting part that is disposed with a metal plate. Contacts are formed on both sides of the connecting part. The lower shell accommodates the connecting part. A conductive elastic plate is provided on both sides of the metal plate contacts. The rotation of the activating disk enables the contacts of the metal plate to have instantaneous contacts with the corresponding conductive elastic plates that are connected with wires. An instantaneous electrical current is thus produced.
Claims3
A zipper switch for a DC motor of a ceiling fan, comprising:
- an upper shell, which is pivotally disposed with an activating disk, an elastic element, and a zipper connected with the activating disk, wherein one end of the elastic element urges against the activating disk and the other end against the upper shell, the activating disk is pulled by the zipper to rotate in one direction but pushed by an elastic force produced by the elastic element to rotate in the opposite direction, the center on one side of the activating disk has a connecting part that is disposed with a metal plate to form contacts on both sides thereof;
- and
- a lower shell, which is connected with the upper shell and whose central part accommodates the connecting part, wherein a conductive elastic plate is provided on both sides of the contacts of the metal plate so that the contacts of the metal plate rotate correspondingly to produce instantaneous contacts as the activating disk rotates.
