MQS-6 Micro Switch
  1. Location and purpose

The MQS-6 micro switch is usually installed inside the car door and connected to the door lock mechanical system. They are used to sense the opening and closing status of car doors, such as whether the door is closed and whether the lock is locked or unlocked. In the car door lock system, the position and purpose of the MQS-6 micro switch is to monitor the status of the car door to trigger the corresponding locking and unlocking operations.

The main purpose of the MQS-6 micro switch in the car door lock system is to detect the status of the door, that is, whether the door is open or closed. This is essential to trigger the central locking system to perform the corresponding locking or unlocking operation. When the door is closed, the mechanical contact of the MQS-6 micro switch may be disconnected, indicating that the door is closed. When the door is opened, the mechanical contacts of the MQS-6 micro switch may close, indicating that the door is open.

When the driver or passenger uses the door lock button in the car or the lock or unlock button on the remote control, the MQS-6 micro switch will sense this operation and trigger the corresponding central locking system to lock or unlock. MQS-6 microswitches may also be used to trigger functions related to security systems. For example, when a car door is locked, an MQS-6 microswitch may trigger the interior lights to turn off to save power.

  1. Working principle

The MQS-6 micro switch realizes the opening and closing of the circuit through the movement of mechanical contacts. When the door is closed, the contacts of the micro switch may be disconnected, indicating that the door is closed; when the door is open, the contacts of the MQS-6 micro switch may be closed, indicating that the door is open.

The working principle of the MQS-6 micro switch is based on its internal mechanical structure. The MQS-6 micro switch is a small electronic switch that usually includes a spring that pushes a movable contact. When sufficient external pressure or force is applied to the MQS-6 micro switch, the state of the contact will change. This force can be a mechanical switch being pressed, pulled, or otherwise operated.

When the contacts are closed, current flows through the MQS-6 microswitch, forming a closed circuit. This is typically used to activate or deactivate electronic devices or other circuits connected to the MQS-6 microswitch. When the contacts separate, the circuit is broken and current cannot flow through the MQS-6 micro switch. This state is usually used to stop or change the operating state of the equipment connected to the MQS-6 micro switch. The spring plays an important role. When the external force stops acting, the spring returns to its original state, returning the contacts to their normal position.

In car door lock systems, MQS-6 micro switches are usually installed inside the door to detect the status of the door. For example, when the car door is closed, the contacts of the MQS-6 micro switch may be closed, indicating that the door is closed. When the door is opened, the contacts may separate, indicating that the door is open. This status information can be used by the central locking system to trigger corresponding locking or unlocking operations.

  1. Lock and unlock operations

The MQS-6 micro switch of the car door lock is connected to the central locking system. When the driver or passenger uses the lock button in the car or on the remote control, the MQS-6 micro switch triggers the central locking system, causing the door locks to perform a locking operation. Likewise, the unlocking operation is triggered via a microswitch. The MQS-6 micro switch plays a key role in locking and unlocking operations. By sensing the status of the car door, it triggers the corresponding action of the central locking system to achieve safe locking and unlocking of the car door.

When the driver or passenger uses the door lock button in the car or the lock button on the remote control, the MQS-6 micro switch senses this operation. The contact state of an MQS-6 microswitch may change from closed to open or vice versa, depending on the system design. The central locking system determines the locked status of the door based on the signal from the micro switch. If the door is unlocked, the central locking system will perform a locking operation, locking the door electronically or mechanically. This may include locking mechanical locks on the vehicle doors and electronic systems.

When the driver or passenger uses the door lock button in the car or the unlock button on the remote control, the micro switch senses this operation again. The contact state of a microswitch may again change from open to closed or vice versa, depending on the system design. The central locking system determines the unlocking status of the car door based on the signal from the micro switch. If the doors are locked, the central locking system will perform an unlocking operation to unlock the doors electronically or mechanically. This may include releasing the mechanical locks on the doors and turning off the electronic systems.
