TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a self-power generation switch, in particular to a portable self-power generation switch and a self-power generation module and a signal transmission method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Switches as an important electronic component, it occupies an indispensable position in the control field of electrical equipment. The wired switch is currently only suitable for fixed position electrical equipment use, more inconvenient to be carried out of use, that is, the use range of wired switch has limitations, can not control electrical equipment in any area. For the consumer who requires more and more intelligent and pursues diversified life, the wired switch obviously can not meet the needs of consumers. Moreover, the existing switch mainly relies on battery power supply, and the user needs to replace the battery within a certain period. Due to the wide use of switches, the demand for batteries is very large, which has caused a large number of waste batteries, which has undoubtedly aggravated the environmental pollution problem. The battery-powered switch also has the problem that when the switch is not used for a long time, the switch will be damaged by battery leakage.
[0003] Some existing rebound type self-power generation wireless switches can only be pressed on one side or inclined, and multiple self-power generation devices need to be set to realize the pressing of multiple positions. In other words, the rebound type self-power generation wireless switch cannot use the same self-power generation core to drive multiple keys to correspondingly realize the transmission of different control signals. However, the increase in self-power generation devices will correspondingly increase the cost of the self-power generation wireless switch, which will not be conducive to the mass production and popularization of the self-power generation wireless switch.
[0004] In the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN206516503U, a driving module and a handheld transmitting device are disclosed, referring to the drawings in the specification Figure 1 The handheld transmitting device includes a driving module 3P and a power generation module 4P. The driving module 3P includes a first driving part 8P, a second driving part 9P, and a double torsion spring 10P. The first driving part 8P is sleeved on the second driving part 9P and is arranged in an X shape with the second driving part 9P. The power generation module 4P includes a spring sheet 7P. When the driving module 3P is pressed, the double torsion spring 10P is compressed, the X angle between the first driving part 8P and the second driving part 9P becomes smaller, thereby driving the spring sheet 7P of the power generation module 4P to move downward to change the magnetic flux of the coil inside the power generation module 4P, thereby generating electric energy. It can be seen that the first driving part 8P and the second driving part 9P are in an X-shaped structure, which has a relatively complex installation process and occupies a large volume for driving movement. It can also be seen from the drawings that the first driving part 8P and the second driving part 9P are arranged in an X shape, which occupies a large volume and is not conducive to the miniaturization of the handheld transmitting device. Figure 1It can be seen that the driving module 3P is arranged adjacent to the power generation module 4P, which limits the length of the handheld launching device to be at least greater than the sum of the lengths of the driving module 3P and the power generation module 4P, that is, the arrangement of the positions of the driving module 3P and the power generation module 4P causes the overall volume of the handheld device to be enlarged.
[0005] It is worth mentioning that the handheld launching device is provided with a plurality of micro switches 42P in the circuit module for being triggered to cause the circuit board to send corresponding control signals, the micro switches 42P increase the height of the entire circuit module, and accordingly the height of the handheld launching device is at least greater than the height of the overall circuit module, which undoubtedly causes the overall volume of the handheld launching device to be enlarged, and the micro switches 42P are easy to be damaged or have poor contact, which is easy to cause the phenomenon of switch failure. In addition, it is also worth mentioning that the handheld launching device also needs to be supported by the spring 52P to support the key, and the installation process is complex, which also causes the increase of manufacturing cost. Since the spring 52P has a rebounding force, the user needs to exert a large force to press the key, and the spring 52P causes the unevenness of the pressing force, and the key may be stuck, which is not conducive to the operation experience of the user.
[0006] In summary, the existing self-powered wireless switch is difficult to realize the independent operation of multiple keys using the same self-powered core while ensuring miniaturization. SUMMARY

The communication board 40 then transmits the corresponding control signal powered by the power generation device 51. Meanwhile, the other triggers 31 remain in their original state, supporting their corresponding buttons 20, thus ensuring that each button 20 can independently drive the communication board 40 to transmit the control signal. In other words, the pressed button 20 does not trigger the activity of other buttons 20, thus ensuring that the operation of each button 20 does not interfere with each other.
[0139] It is worth mentioning that traditional switches are usually powered by batteries, and users can control electrical equipment simply by pressing the switch button. However, the portable self-generating switch 10 of the present invention drives the power generation device 51 to generate electrical energy by vertically pressing the button 20. At the same time as the user vertically presses the button 20, the circuit of the communication board 40 is turned on and can transmit the control signal. In other words, the operation process of the portable self-generating switch 10 of the present invention is consistent with the user's traditional operating habits, thereby providing a portable self-generating switch 10 that conforms to the user's traditional operating habits.
[0140] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that when any of the buttons 20 is pressed, the balance frame 53 is driven to move downward by the same distance. That is to say, the pressing stroke of each button 20 is the same, thereby providing a portable self-generating switch 10 with good operating feel. Moreover, the consistent pressing stroke of each button 20 can also avoid the situation where the button 20 is stuck. Thus, the present invention also provides a portable self-generating switch 10 with consistent button 20 strokes.
[0141] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the support base 54 is provided with a positioning cavity 542, and the drive unit 52 and the power generation device 51 are disposed in the positioning cavity 542. Specifically, the support base 54 includes a plurality of positioning members 543, and the positioning cavity 542 is disposed between the plurality of positioning members 543. The plurality of positioning members 543 are used to fix the positions of the drive unit 52 and the power generation device 51 to prevent the drive unit 52 and the power generation device 51 from moving.

In comparison, the detachable arrangement of the driving unit 52 and the power generation device 51 in the support base 54 can facilitate the installation of the driving unit 52 and the power generation device 51.

[0144] Further, as shown in Figure 8 the self-power generation module 50 includes a restoring member 55 arranged below the driving unit 52 to elastically support the driving unit 52. When the driving unit 52 is driven by the balance frame 53, the restoring member 55 stores potential energy and releases the potential energy when the force acting on the balance frame 53 disappears, so that the driving unit 52 returns to the original state.
[0145] In particular, the restoring member 55 has two elastic support arms 551, each of which elastically supports the first driving arm 521 and the second driving arm 522 to maintain the balanced movement of the first driving arm 521 and the second driving arm 522. That is, each elastic support arm 551 can have an elastic support force on the first driving arm 521 and the second driving arm 522 when the balance frame 53 moves downward, so as to balance the downward movement of the first driving arm 521 and the second driving arm 522 and store potential energy. When the balance frame 53 is released, each elastic support arm 551 releases the stored potential energy to support the first driving arm 521 and the second driving arm 522 in parallel to restore to the original position, thereby driving the balance frame 53 to restore to the original position. In this way, the stroke of pressing or restoring to the original position of each key 20 is consistent, thereby preventing the key 20 from being stuck. Moreover, the arrangement of the restoring member 55 can also have a buffering effect on the driving of the balance frame 53 on the driving unit 52, so that the portable self-power generation switch 10 can have a good operation feel.
