摘要:
An indication displayed by a display unit included in a pressure switch is inverted and the respective setting functions of push-button switches are reversed when the operator is obliged to look at the display unit from a direction opposite a normal looking direction or when the pressure switch is installed in an inverted position. A mode setting push-button switch 113 is operated to turn the indication indicating a set pressure displayed by a display unit 116 through an angle of 180°, a function to increase the set pressure of a first push-button switch 111 is reversed and a function to decrease the set pressure of the second push-button switch 112 is reversed.

A system for air pressure electric switch adjustment comprises a frame. A pressure port is mounted to the frame for connection to a source of fluid under pressure to be monitored. An actuator is movably mounted relative to the frame responsive to fluid pressure at the pressure port. A switch includes a fixed contact and a movable contact. The fixed contact is fixedly mounted relative to the frame. A differential mechanism comprising a pair of linked levers is hingedly mounted to the frame. One of the linked levers is driven by the actuator. The other lever carries the movable contact. A snap spring links the two levers so that the other lever is normally in a first position with the switch in a normal state. The other lever is toggled responsive to pivotal movement of the one lever by the snap spring to a second position with the switch in an actuated state. A switch adjustment mechanism is operatively mounted to the frame for varying the first position of the other lever relative to the one lever to vary actuation pressure.

A pressure control for use in applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning and ice generating machinery includes a highly accurate snap acting switch, field adjustable trip points and reset points and a reference scale. The trip point is adjusted by means of an adjustment screw, while the reset point is adjusted by changing the differential, or the difference between the trip point and reset point. The differential is adjusted by adjusting the amount of "lost motion" within the control by employing an actuator which includes a cam surface and means for changing the position of the cam surface.

A housing (10), (54) defines a well which holds a diaphragm assembly (12). The diaphragm assembly has a stud portion (14) that extends through an aperture in the housing and is biased into the housing by a spring (16). The stud portion defines a channel (18) which is received in a slot between arms of a calibration plate (20). Movement of the calibration plate transverse to the axis of the stud portion engages a cam surface (24) to position the diaphragm, more particularly a dielectric button (34) which engages a switch control member (50). As a fluid in a bulb (32) expands, it causes the diaphragm to expand, moving the control member (50) and one end of spring portion (48) causing contacts (46, 52) to open. The temperature or degree of diaphragm extension at which the switch contacts open is adjusted by rotating a shaft (60). As the stem is rotated, a cam follower (76) and cam (70) interact causing a dielectric actuator (64 ) to change the bias force, hence pivot point, of spring elements (44).

A pressure limiting switch is provided for limiting the upper and lower limit values of the air pressure in a circuit feeding pneumatic controls. The switch has a switching arm which is pivotable at one end around a fixed axis in the switch body and adapted to actuate with its other end a microswitch closing a valve in the circuit if necessary. The air pressure is sensed by a movable element which engages the switching arm between the pivot axis and the microswitch. The switching arm is spring biased for compensating the microswitch spring. The air pressure range is adjustable through adjusting discs serving as abutments for movement of the switching arm.
摘要:
A miniaturized differential pressure switch comprising a pair of matched housing sections and a low spring rate diaphragm of quadrilateral shape in the plane of the housing sections secured together by rivets at their corners, with the housings being recessed about on either side of the diaphragm to define high and low fluid pressure chambers of restricted depth that are adapted to be connected to differential gas pressure sources, in which the housing section that defines the low pressure chamber is equipped with electrical contacts disposed in the low pressure chamber, and the low pressure chamber has mounted in same a diaphragm plate that serves to close the switch contacts at the desired pressure differential, which diaphragm plate is equipped with a tongue acting as a range spring that is adjustable exteriorly of the housing by way of an adjusting screw that is threadedly mounted in the housing and that has its inner end journaled in an end portion of the tongue. The switch is adapted for use in connection with gas pressures of under 5 psig.
摘要:
A flow switch, responsive to variation of fluid flow within a conduit, having an elongated member pivoted within the switch body and penetrating the fluid flow path within the conduit for make or break engagement with an electrical contact in response to fluid flow variations in the conduit. A seal is secured to the member near the pivot and overlaps a surrounding portion of the switch with a cup-shaped retainer urging the seal into engagement with the switch body. A cavity in the switch adjacent the seal is filled with fluid to reduce flexure of the seal and increase its effective life.
