New energy vehicles refer to vehicles powered by new energy or hybridized with new energy and traditional energy, mainly including pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell vehicles and so on. The applications of microswitches in new energy vehicles are mainly in the following aspects:
Explosion-proof valve: Explosion-proof valve is a safety device installed in the battery box of new energy vehicles, which is used to release the gas inside the battery in time to prevent the battery from exploding when the battery undergoes overheating, overcharging, short-circuiting and other abnormal situations. As the control element of the explosion-proof valve, the microswitch can realize the automatic opening and closing of the explosion-proof valve to ensure the safe operation of the battery.
Charging gun and charging port cover: The charging gun is a tool to connect the new energy vehicle and charging pile, and the charging port cover is a protective device covering the charging port of the new energy vehicle. As the sensing element of the charging gun and charging port cover, the microswitch can realize the plugging and unplugging detection of the charging gun, the switch control of the charging port cover, and the triggering of the charging start or stop signals, etc., to ensure the charging is carried out smoothly.
Electric Tailgate Lock: The electric tailgate lock is a kind of electric lock installed on the tailgate of new energy vehicles, which is used to realize the automatic opening and closing of the tailgate. As the position detection element of the electric tailgate lock, the microswitch can realize the feedback of the switching status of the tailgate to ensure the normal operation of the tailgate.
Electronic Shifter: Electronic shifter is a kind of electronic control device replacing the traditional mechanical shifter, which is used to realize the shift function of new energy vehicles. As the shift signal element of the electronic shifter, the microswitch can realize the switching and indication of the shift gear to ensure the accuracy and stability of the shift.
Brake pads: Brake pads are a kind of friction material installed on the brake system of new energy vehicles, used to realize the braking function of brakes. As the wear detection element of the brake pads, the microswitch can realize the monitoring and alarm of the wear degree of the brake pads to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the brakes.
Electric Suction Door: Electric Suction Door is a kind of electric device installed on the door of new energy vehicles, which is used to realize the automatic suction and closing of the door. As the suction and closure signal element of the electric suction and closure door, the microswitch can realize the detection and feedback of the suction and closure state of the door to ensure the sealing and comfort of the door.
Electric doors and windows: Electric doors and windows are a kind of electric devices installed on the doors and windows of new energy vehicles, which are used to realize the automatic opening and closing of the doors and windows. As the position detection element of the electric doors and windows, the micro switch can realize the feedback of the switching status of the doors and windows to ensure the normal operation of the doors and windows.
Application of microswitch in charging equipment
Charging equipment refers to the equipment that provides charging service for new energy vehicles, which mainly includes charging piles, charging stations, charging cables and so on. The application of microswitch in charging equipment mainly has the following aspects:
Charging pile: Charging pile is a kind of charging equipment installed in a fixed location, which is used to provide DC or AC charging power for new energy vehicles. As the charging state element of the charging pile, the microswitch can realize the triggering of the charging start or stop signal of the charging pile to ensure the normal work of the charging pile.
Charging Station: A charging station is a charging facility that integrates multiple charging piles and is used to provide fast or slow charging service for new energy vehicles. As the charging management element of the charging station, the microswitch can realize the allocation and scheduling of the charging piles of the charging station to ensure the efficient operation of the charging station.
Charging cable: Charging cable is a charging tool that connects the new energy vehicle and household power supply, and is used to provide portable charging for the new energy vehicle. As the charging protection element of the charging cable, the microswitch can realize the detection and alarm of over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature and other abnormal conditions of the charging cable to ensure the safe use of the charging cable.
Microswitch is a common electronic component with the advantages of simple structure, reliable function, long service life and low cost, which is widely used in new energy vehicles and charging equipment and plays an important role. With the development of new energy vehicles and charging equipment, the demand for microswitches will also continue to increase, and the technical level and product quality of microswitches will also continue to improve, and the microswitch market prospect will be very broad.
