Patent number: 9111704Abstract: A rotary paddle level switch has a housing, a driving unit, two switches, a resilient member, a clutch, a transmission shaft, and a propeller. A resilient clip of the clutch holds a non-circular actuation section of the transmission shaft. When the driving unit drives the clutch to rotate, the transmission shaft and the propeller are driven by the clutch. When the propeller is rapidly rotated by suddenly exerting an excessively large external force thereon, as the resilient clip holds the transmission shaft by elastic force, the fast rotating transmission shaft removes itself from the holding of the resilient clip and is rotated without driving the resilient clip to rotate, thereby avoiding the transmission of the external force and damage to the driving unit. As the clutch just needs a clutch stand and a resilient clip to achieve the foregoing function, the level switch is structurally simple and relatively inexpensive.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Finetek Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chih-Wen Wang, Ching-Jui Chen, Cheng-Tao Lee, Ting-Kuo Wu, Chao-Kai Cheng
