Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical switches, in particular to a piezoelectric switch. Background Art

[0002] A piezoelectric switch is an electrical switch that is a relaxation oscillator that is constantly charged and discharged. If the piezoelectric switch is not touched, the relaxation oscillator has a fixed charge and discharge cycle, and the frequency can be measured. If we use our fingers or touch the piezoelectric switch, the dielectric constant of the capacitor will increase, the charge and discharge cycle will become longer, and the frequency will decrease accordingly. By measuring the change in the cycle, the touch action can be detected and converted into an electrical signal for processing. Based on the processing results, the piezoelectric switch can control the on and off state of the circuit, thereby realizing the on and off control of lighting, electrical appliances and other equipment.

[0003] Traditional mechanical switches are usually composed of multiple mechanical parts, with complex structures and prone to failure. In addition, the life of mechanical switches is usually affected by the wear and fatigue of mechanical parts and has a certain life limit. Due to the inherent defects of the mechanical structure, the response speed of mechanical switches is slow. In addition, since the mechanical structure requires pressing the switch, it is difficult to make it waterproof and it is difficult to work normally when there is water on the button surface. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric switch to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] Based on the above purpose, the utility model provides a piezoelectric switch, comprising:

[0006] The switch housing has an outer fixing ring at the top, the housing is of through-type design, and an outer thread is provided at the outer circular end of the switch housing;

[0007] A fastening nut, threadedly connected to the external thread;

[0008] A light-transmitting ring is arranged on the inner side of the switch housing, and a piezoelectric ceramic sheet is arranged in the light-transmitting ring;

[0009] An electrical control board is arranged in the switch housing, and connecting leads are arranged on the electrical control board.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the bottom seal of the switch housing is filled with waterproof resin.

[0011] Furthermore, the waterproof resin also wraps the connecting lead in the switch housing.

[0012] As an optional implementation, an O-ring is sleeved on the switch housing, and the O-ring is located between the bottom of the outer fixing ring and the top of the fastening nut.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the light-transmitting ring is transparent.

[0014] As an optional implementation manner, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet is a plane or a concave surface with a depression in the middle.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the bottom of the switch housing is sealed and filled with waterproof resin, and the resin also covers the connecting leads, and an O-ring is sleeved on the switch housing to achieve waterproofing of the piezoelectric switch. Since the resin also covers the connecting leads, the leads will not be easily pulled, and the connection points between the leads and the electrical control board will not easily fall off. In addition, the piezoelectric switch is a switch based on the piezoelectric effect. Its working principle is that when external pressure is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet, an electrical signal will be generated, thereby triggering the action of the switch. Therefore, while ensuring that the piezoelectric switch is waterproof, water on the outer surface of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet will not affect normal operation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom of the switch housing 1 is sealed and filled with a waterproof resin 7, and the resin also covers the connecting lead 6, and an O-ring 8 is sleeved on the switch housing 1 to achieve waterproofing of the piezoelectric switch. Since the resin also covers the connecting lead 6, the lead will not be easily pulled, and the connection point between the lead and the electrical control board 5 is not easy to fall off. The piezoelectric switch has a faster response speed than the mechanical switch, and the electrical control board 5, the connecting lead 6 and the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 4 are electrically connected.

[0030] Furthermore, the waterproof resin 7 also wraps the connecting lead 6 in the switch housing 1;

[0031] In this way, the lead wire will not be easily pulled, and the connection point between the lead wire and the electrical control board 5 will not fall off easily.

[0032] As an optional implementation, an O-ring 8 is sleeved on the switch housing 1, and the O-ring 8 is located between the bottom of the outer fixing ring 11 and the top of the fastening nut 2;

[0033] In this way, when water from the outside tries to enter the interior of the device through the piezoelectric switch installed on the device, it will be blocked by the squeezed and deformed O-ring 8.

[0034] As an optional implementation, the light-transmitting ring 3 is transparent;

[0035] In this way, the light-transmitting circle 3 can transmit the light emitted from the electrical control board 5 .

[0036] As an optional implementation, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 4 is a plane or a concave surface with a depression in the middle;

[0037] In this way, you can choose a flat or concave surface according to your preference.
