A monitored switch gear device that includes a switch gear, a plurality of magnets, a magnetic field sensor and a processing circuitry. The switch gear includes an opening/closing mechanism adapted to selectively open and close an electrical circuit. The opening/closing mechanism includes a pivotally mounted shaft configured to rotate about a pivot axis as the opening/closing mechanism moves between an open and a closed state. The magnets of the plurality of magnets are spaced from each other and fixedly attached to the shaft. The magnetic field sensor senses a magnetic field generated by each magnet of the plurality of magnets as the shaft pivots. Each magnet of the plurality of magnets defines a different angular position of the shaft detected by the magnetic field sensor in which the magnetic field sensor senses a respective magnet of the plurality of magnets. The processing circuitry computes a first angular speed of the shaft based on signals provided by the magnetic field sensor when it senses the magnetic field generated by at least two magnets of the plurality of magnets as the shaft pivots in one direction.

A disconnector having a stack of modular contact boxes surmounted by a snap-action switch box, each modular contact box including a rotary contact and two fixed contacts which are accessible from the outside. The switch box further includes a driven indexing element which is rotatably associated with a spindle loading support and at least one spring connected between the two in order to load them elastically with respect to each other following a mutual rotation about the central axis. The disconnector has a single actuation rod which passes through all the modular contact boxes coaxially to the central axis and is fixed in rotation to all the rotary contacts.

An input device includes: a rotating member that rotates about a predetermined rotation axis; and a mover that includes a protrusion protruding toward an inner peripheral surface of the rotating member and moves in a direction different from a rotation direction of the rotating member along with rotation of the rotating member. The protrusion protrudes toward an inner peripheral surface of the rotating member. The rotating member includes a first projection and a second projection that project from the inner peripheral surface toward the mover. The protrusion of the mover is inclined with respect to the predetermined rotation axis and disposed between the first projection and the second projection.

An energy storage status monitoring structure and a rotary switch are provided and relate to the field of electrical technologies. The energy storage status monitoring structure includes an operation mechanism, an energy storage assembly, and a release assembly. The operation mechanism includes an upper cover, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the upper cover, and an energy storage tray connected to the rotating shaft. The energy storage assembly is connected to the energy storage tray. A sensing portion is disposed on the energy storage tray. A sensing component is disposed on the release assembly. When the energy storage tray rotates to enable the energy storage assembly to store energy, the sensing portion corresponds to the sensing component, so that the sensing component outputs a corresponding sensing signal.

A seat belt attachment/detachment detection switch comprises: a printed circuit board including a circuit for detecting attachment/detachment of a seat belt; a movable plate configured to slidably move along with insertion of a tongue plate of the seat belt; a rotor including a lever coupled to the movable plate, the rotor being rotatably attached to the printed circuit board to rotate as the tongue plate is pushed into a buckle; and an electric brush attached to the surface of the rotor that faces the printed circuit board, the electric brush having leg parts that change a state of contact/non-contact with a conductive part of the circuit in accordance with a rotating state of the rotor.

A switch assembly for engaging a switch of an electronic device includes a rotatable knob having an axis of rotation, a pin mechanism engaged with the rotatable knob, and a slider body. The pin mechanism includes a pin, the pin being offset from the axis of rotation of the rotatable knob. The slider body is shaped to include a slot in which the pin of the pin mechanism is positioned and a switch recess shaped to receive and selectively contact the switch of the electronic device. Rotation of the rotatable knob in a first direction causes the slider body toward contact with a first portion of the switch to urge the switch into a first position, and rotation of the rotatable knob in a second direction causes the slider body toward contact with a second portion of the switch to urge the switch into a second position.
