Abstract
A spring operation device and a method for assembling the same are disclosed. A switching device including the spring operation device is also disclosed. In the spring operation device disclosed in at least one embodiment of the present invention, by way of a smooth corrugated protuberance, the protuberance can push the operation mechanism of the spring operation device to rotate accurately and efficiently under the effect of a spring at the moment when the spring's energy storing process is completed, so as to accomplish the release of energy.
Claims18
A spring operation device, comprising:
- a bracket including a bottom wall and a side wall;
- a spring, one end of the spring being fixed on said bottom wall;
- a sliding block, contacting another end of said spring when in an installed state, and moving, under an external force, basically linearly on said side wall along a placement direction of the spring;
- and
- an operation mechanism including a contact shaft and a support shaft, the operation mechanism being placed on said bracket via said support shaft and placed on said sliding block via said contact shaft,
- wherein said sliding block includes an extending corrugated protuberance along a direction basically horizontally perpendicular to said support shaft, and wherein said contact shaft moves in close contact with said protuberance under the external force.
A method for assembling a spring operation device, comprising:
- providing a bracket with a bottom wall and a side wall;
- fixing one end of a spring onto the bottom wall;
- providing a sliding block, the sliding block contacting another end of the spring, the sliding block being capable of reciprocating basically linearly on the side wall along a placement direction of the spring;
- and
- providing an operation mechanism including a contact shaft and a support shaft, the contact shaft being placed on the sliding block and placed on the bracket via said support shaft,
- wherein said sliding block includes an extending corrugated protuberance in a direction basically horizontally perpendicular to the support shaft, and the contact shaft moves in close contact with the sliding block under an external force.
