FIG. 5 illustrates an exploded view of an electric pressure circuit in a normal mode and a standby mode according to one embodiment, while FIG. 6 illustrates an exploded view of an electric pressure circuit in a quake mode and a vibration mode according to one embodiment. With respect to FIG. 5, the automatic vibrational electric switch functions in two modes namely the normal mode 502 and the standby mode. The electricity is connected to the switch in the normal mode 502 and the switch is always in standby for reacting during an earthquake and a shock.


When a vibration is occurred exceeding the common rate, the automatic vibration electric switch 101 functions in the quake mode 602. The automatic vibration electric switch 101 uses the electricity for the meant purpose in the normal mode 502. During the normal mode 502, no vibration occurs and the automatic vibration electric switch 101 is in standby and the electricity is used for systems and technologies to operate normally.


The pressing operation of the transient sphere 106 switch towards upward direction leads to placing the sphere 104 load over the pressure bar and keeps the automatic vibrational electric switch 101 in the standby mode. Further when any vibration occurs in the normal mode 502, the sphere load is released and the electric switch is automatically operated in a quake mode 602. The vibrational section of the switch is the end of electric current pressure bar 402 and the sphere 104 load is placed as shown in FIG. 5.

The vibration rate of the automatic vibration electric switch 101 in horizontal fashion depends on the diameter of the bar. The diameter of the bar in the switch is 7 mm. Further since the sphere load is placed over the pressure of the bar, the load of the weight is imposed vertically on the bar and radius of the bar is the falling points of the weight as shown in FIG. 7.


The three states of the sphere 710 over the bar include a balanced state 712, a standing state 713 and a falling always state 714. In first mode, the bar end is flat and the sphere 104 stands balanced over the bar. In second mode, the bar end is hollow and the sphere 104 sits on the pressure bar 402. In third mode the bar end is protruded and the sphere falls always.


The distance between the vertical points of the load up to the falling point of the weights shows the vibration rate in horizontal fashion. The vibration height of the switch depends on the curvature of the end of the bar as shown in FIG. 7. Further for representing the vibration height, the three modes of the bar namely the first mode, the second mode and the third mode are considered as the end.


With respect to FIG. 7, the automatic vibrational electric switch 101 is used for application of systems and for earthquake security technologies in the quickest possible time.
