Abstract

A direct current motor controller includes a housing, a plurality of terminals, a first two-way switch, a second two-way switch, an actuating mechanism, and a remote controller plug. The terminals and remote controller plug traverse out of the housing as the first two-way switch, the second two-way switch, and the actuating mechanism are mounted within the housing. A first output terminal, a first power supply positive terminal, and a third power supply negative terminals from the terminals are electrically connected to the first two-way switch. A second output terminal, a second power supply positive terminal, and the third power supply negative terminal from the terminals are electrically connected to the second two-way switch. The remote controller plug is electrically connected to the second power supply positive terminal. The actuating mechanism operatively couples with the first and second two-way switches to toggle and inversely toggle the first and second two-way switches.

Claims (64)

1. A direct current motor controller comprises:

a housing;

a plurality of terminals;

a first two-way switch;

a second two-way switch;

an actuating mechanism;

a remote controller plug;

each of the plurality of terminals and the remote controller plug traversing out of the housing;

the first two-way switch, the second two-way switch, and the actuating mechanism being mounted within the housing;

the plurality of terminals comprises a first output terminal, a second output terminal, a first power supply positive terminal, a second power supply positive terminal, and a third power supply negative terminal;

the first output terminal, the first power supply positive terminal, and the third power supply negative terminal being electrically connected to the first two-way switch;

the second output terminal, the second power supply positive terminal, and the third power supply negative terminal being electrically connected to the second two-way switch;

the remote controller plug being electrically connected to the second power supply positive terminal through the actuating mechanism;

the actuating mechanism being operatively coupled with the first two-way switch and the second two-way switch, wherein the actuating mechanism is used to toggle the first two-way switch and is used to inversely toggle the second two-way switch;

the actuating mechanism comprises a first push rod, a first coil group, a second push rod, and a second coil group;

the plurality of terminals further comprises a ground terminal;

the first push rod being concentrically positioned within the first coil group;

the first push rod being oriented towards the first two-way switch;

the second push rod being concentrically positioned within the second coil group; and

the second push rod being oriented towards the second two-way switch.

2. The direct current motor controller as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the housing further comprises a front shell, a rear shell, and a sealing ring;

the sealing ring being perimetrically positioned around the front shell, opposite of the plurality of terminals; and

the front shell being hermetically attached into the rear shell.

3. The direct current motor controller as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the housing further comprises a rear shell and a mounting plate;

the mounting plate being connected within the rear shell; and

the actuating mechanism being connected to the mounting plate.

4. The direct current motor controller as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the housing further comprises a rear shell; and

the remote controller plug traversing out of the rear shell.

5. The direct current motor controller as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the housing further comprises a front shell; and

the first output terminal, the second output terminal, the first power supply positive terminal, the second power supply positive terminal, and the third power supply negative terminal traversing out of the front shell.

6. The direct current motor controller as claimed in claim 1 comprises:

the first coil group being electrically connected to the second power supply positive terminal and the ground terminal through the remote controller plug;
