2. the microswitch is locked and fixed on the switch bracket 160 by screws, and then the switch bracket 160 is fixed on the mounting base 10 by screw locking; the microswitch is a normally closed contact 162, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, i.e., the contact 162 is in a power-off state when pressed by the other projection 1220 of the cam, and as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the contact 162 is released to a power-on state by the other projection 1220;
3. the shift lever 120 is locked and fixed on the mounting base 10 through a screw, a rotating shaft 124 structure of the shift lever 120 is arranged on the mounting base 10, a return spring is connected between the shift lever 120 and the mounting base 10, and when the shift lever 120 reaches the right limit, a ball elastic limit mechanism (namely an elastic limit piece) is arranged below the shift lever 120;
4. a ball elastic limiting structure, in which a ball spring is placed in the hollow limiting column 180 on the mounting base 10, a ball (a boss) is placed on the spring, and the ball gland 126 is locked and fixed on the mounting base 10 by a screw, so that a ball elastic limiting mechanism (an elastic limiting member) is formed;
5. when the shift lever 120 is shifted to the right side for limiting, the ball elastic limiting mechanism is limited, the end of the shift lever 120 has a double-cam structure, the highest point of the cam 122 is respectively pressed on the elastic push rod 140 of the water valve 14 and the contact 162 of the micro switch (switch piece 16), the working state at this time is water cut and power cut, the shift lever 120 is pushed leftwards to release the elastic ball limiting state, the shift lever 120 can be pulled leftwards to limit by the reset spring (reset elastic piece 20), the elastic push rod 140 of the water valve 14 and the contact 162 of the micro switch are both released, and the working state at this time is water cut and power on.
Through the design of the invention, the driving lever 120 is pushed to rotate by a left angle and a right angle, the switch of the contact 162 is triggered by the double-cam structure of the driving lever 120 to be in linkage control with the water valve 14, and meanwhile, the driving lever 120 has elastic limit when reaching the right limit and has better hand feeling to prompt a user; the shifting lever 120 is separated from the right side elastic limit, and can automatically reach the left side limit through a reset spring (reset elastic part 20), so that the shifting lever 120 only has two states of the left side limit (a first position) and the right side limit (a second position) and cannot stay at any position in a shifting angle range to mislead a user, and the shifting lever 120 is controlled back and forth left and right to synchronously realize two working states of water supply and power supply or water supply and power supply interruption; because of adopting the mechanical structure, the control process is physical control, and compared with an electronic control scheme adopting a sensor, the method has higher reliability and is convenient to maintain; simultaneously, the function realized by the switch component ensures that the instantaneous water heater has more reliable safety, and the control characteristic is the 120-type operation of the manual driving lever, so that a user has more convenient control and safer experience, and the safety and the convenience of the use of the switch component are improved.
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail in combination with the attached drawings, through the technical scheme of the invention, the connection of the water path and the circuit is effectively and synchronously carried out, the waste of resources is reduced, the electric power is saved, and the mechanical structure is adopted, so that the operation is simple, and the work is stable and reliable.
