Angle switch

Angle switch is an electronic component used to detect and control angle changes, and is widely used in many fields. The following is a detailed analysis of the angle switch:

1. Definition and working principle

Definition: An angle switch is a switch that can detect the angle change of an object or device and control the circuit on and off accordingly.

Working principle: An angle switch usually contains a sensing element (such as a metal ball, slider or magnet, etc.). When the angle of the device or object changes, the sensing element will move accordingly, thereby changing the state of the switch (such as open or closed). This change can be transmitted to the control system through the circuit to achieve control and monitoring of the device or object.

2. Application field

Smart home:

The angle switch can detect the switch state and angle position of furniture, doors and windows, and realize automatic control and remote control. For example, the angle switch controls the opening and closing of smart lamps to keep the lamps at the appropriate angle and brightness.

Automotive electronics:

In the automotive field, angle switches can detect the position and angle of automotive parts, such as monitoring parameters such as engine speed, steering angle, and brake operation. This information is crucial for real-time control and fault diagnosis of automobiles.

Industrial Automation:

In industrial automation equipment, angle switches can detect the position and operating status of equipment such as machine tools and machine tools to achieve automatic control and monitoring. For example, the angle and position of the milling machine workpiece can be detected by the angle switch to control the milling accuracy and speed.

Safety Protection:

Angle switches are also used in the field of safety protection, such as power failure due to electrical appliance tipping, earthquake sensing, etc. When the equipment or object is abnormally tilted, the angle switch will quickly cut off the power supply or trigger an alarm to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Power saving of wireless devices:

In wireless devices, such as remote controls and wireless mice, angle switches can be used to detect the angle changes of the equipment, thereby controlling the on and off of the circuit to achieve the purpose of power saving.

Other fields:

Angle switches are also widely used in the anti-theft industry (such as car anti-theft, home anti-theft, etc.), angle change sensing (such as screen flip detection, sports equipment, etc.) and the toy industry.

III. Features and Advantages

High accuracy: Angle switches can detect small angle changes with high precision and accuracy.

Fast response speed: The response time of the angle switch is very short, generally at the microsecond or millisecond level, which can achieve fast control and monitoring functions.

Easy to use: The angle switch is small in size, easy to install, simple to use, and can be used in various occasions and environments.

Low cost: Compared with other high-precision sensors, the angle switch is relatively cheap and low in cost, making it suitable for large-scale production and application.
