Integrated pressure dependent switch such as for pressure sensors in household appliances such as washing machines having a pressure sensing elastic element connected to one end of a lever

摘要

The apparatus includes a pressure switch unit having a first lever arm (6) which moves dependant on pressure for pressure dependant switching. The apparatus also includes pressure sensing device (72) against which the lever arm presses with a pressure dependant force. The pressure sensing unit has a lever (74) with a first end which engages with the first lever arm. The pressure sensor comprises an elastic element (78) which cooperates with the first lever end.
