Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of switch technology, and more specifically to an intelligent push-button switch. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the development of the Internet, wall switches have gradually evolved from traditional mechanical switches to smart push-button switches. Smart push-button switches can not only replace traditional mechanical switches in their original positions, but also enable control in multiple home scenarios, meeting the needs of modern home decoration. The working principle of smart push-button switches is that pressing a button on the internal tactile switch triggers a relay on the power circuit board, thereby switching the power supply on and off.

[0003] In existing technologies, smart push-button switches typically have two pressing methods: one is to fix one end of the button via a hinge, and press the other end to activate a tactile switch to turn the switch on or off; the other is to fix the middle part of the button via a hinge, and press either the top or bottom of the button to activate a tactile switch to turn the switch on or off. Therefore, existing smart push-button switches can only turn the switch on or off by pressing one end of the button or both the top and bottom ends, which is inconvenient for users and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an intelligent push-button switch, which aims to solve the problem that existing intelligent push-button switches can only switch the power on and off by pressing one end of the button or pressing both the upper and lower ends of the button, which is inconvenient for users and results in a poor user experience.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: an intelligent push button switch includes a fixed frame, a tactile switch disposed within the fixed frame, a panel assembly mounted on the fixed frame, a button movably disposed on the panel assembly and capable of moving up and down relative to the panel assembly, an elastic element mounted on the panel assembly, a pressure plate mounted on the panel assembly and supported by the elastic element, and a linkage element disposed between the panel assembly and the button and capable of driving the pressure plate to press the tactile switch;

[0006] When any position of the pressing surface of the button is pressed, the button directly drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch or drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch through the linkage member, and the pressure plate can be reset under the action of the elastic member to drive the button to reset.

[0007] Preferably, the middle part of the button abuts against the pressure plate or the linkage member, and the middle part of the button can directly drive the pressure plate or drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch through the linkage member; the upper part and the lower part of the button can drive the linkage member to drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch.

[0008] Preferably, the linkage includes a first linkage and a second linkage that are rotatably connected to the panel assembly;

[0009] The upper part of the button can drive the first linkage to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch; the lower part of the button can drive the second linkage to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch; the middle part of the button can directly drive the pressure plate or drive the first linkage and the second linkage to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch.

[0010] Preferably, both the first linkage member and the second linkage member include a fixed part rotatably connected to the panel assembly and a rotating part connected to the fixed part and rotatable around the fixed part. The rotating part is supported on the pressure plate, and when the rotating part is pressed by the button, it can drive the pressure plate to press the tactile switch.

[0011] Preferably, the middle part of the button abuts against the pressure plate, the pressure plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the front end of the rotating part is movably disposed in the limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the front end of the rotating part is supported on the pressure plate and abuts against the middle part of the button.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom protrusion of the pressure plate is provided with a trigger end, and the pressure plate presses the tactile switch through the trigger end.

[0014] Preferably, the panel assembly includes a face cover fixed to the mounting bracket and a panel fixed to the mounting bracket and covering the face cover. The face cover has a mounting groove corresponding to the position of the tactile switch, and the panel has a through hole opposite to the mounting groove. The pressure plate is installed in the mounting groove and passes through the through hole.

[0015] Preferably, the edge of the button extends outward to form a button skirt, the edge of the panel extends towards the center of the panel to form a panel skirt, the panel skirt and the button skirt are spaced apart from each other, and the inner surface of the button protrudes to form a flange for sealing the gap between the panel and the button.

[0016] Preferably, the button is provided with a plurality of limiting hooks, and the panel assembly is provided with limiting holes corresponding to the positions of the limiting hooks. The limiting hooks are inserted into the limiting holes and can move up and down along the limiting holes. When the button is reset, the limiting hooks move to abut against the lower end face of the limiting holes.

[0017] The intelligent push-button switch provided by this invention features a button that is movable on a panel assembly and can move up and down relative to the panel assembly. A linkage component is provided between the panel assembly and the button to drive a pressure plate to press a tactile switch. When any position of the button's pressing surface is pressed, the button directly drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch, or the linkage component drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch, thereby controlling the power supply to the switch. Users can press any position of the button on this intelligent push-button switch to turn the power on or off, greatly facilitating user operation and providing a superior user experience.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] The intelligent push-button switch provided in this invention has a button that is movable on the panel assembly and can move up and down relative to the panel assembly. A linkage component is provided between the panel assembly and the button to drive a pressure plate to press the tactile switch. When any position of the button's pressing surface is pressed, the button directly drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch or drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch through the linkage component, thereby controlling the power supply of the switch. Thus, the user can press any position of the button of the intelligent push-button switch to turn the power supply on or off, greatly facilitating the user and providing a good user experience.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides an intelligent push button switch, including a fixed frame 1, a tactile switch 21 disposed in the fixed frame 1, a panel assembly 3 mounted on the fixed frame 1, a button 4 movably disposed on the panel assembly 3 and movable up and down relative to the panel assembly 3, an elastic member 5 mounted on the panel assembly 3, a pressure plate 6 mounted on the panel assembly 3 and supported by the elastic member 5, and a linkage member 7 disposed between the panel assembly 3 and the button 4 and capable of driving the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21.

[0029] When the pressing surface 49 of button 4 is pressed at any position, button 4 directly drives the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 or drives the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 through the linkage 7, and the pressure plate 6 can be reset under the action of the elastic member 5 to drive button 4 to reset.

[0030] In the intelligent push-button switch of this invention, since the button 4 is movably disposed on the panel assembly 3 and can move up and down relative to the panel assembly 3, and a linkage 7 is provided between the panel assembly 3 and the button 4 to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21, when any position of the pressing surface 49 of the button 4 is pressed, the button 4 moves downward, and the button 4 directly drives the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 or drives the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 through the linkage 7, so as to realize the power on and off of the switch. Thus, the user can realize the power on and off of the switch by pressing the button of the intelligent push-button switch at any position, which greatly facilitates the user's use and makes the user experience better.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the button 4 includes an upper portion 42 and a lower portion 43 located at opposite ends, and a middle portion 41 located between the upper portion 42 and the lower portion 43. The pressing surface 49 is simultaneously disposed on the upper surfaces of the middle portion 41, the upper portion 42 and the lower portion 43.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the middle part 41 of the button 4 abuts against the pressure plate 6 or the linkage 7. The middle part 41 of the button 4 can directly drive the pressure plate 6 or drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 through the linkage 7. The upper part 42 and the lower part 43 of the button 4 can drive the linkage 7 to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, when the pressing surface 49 is pressed to the position corresponding to the middle part 41 of the button 4, that is, when the middle part 41 of the button 4 is pressed, the button 4 moves down as a whole. The middle part 41 of the button 4 can directly drive the pressure plate 6 or drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21 through the linkage 7, thereby realizing the power on / off of the switch. When the pressing surface 49 is pressed to the position corresponding to the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4, that is, when the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4 swings down slightly. The upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4 presses down the linkage 7, so that the linkage 7 drives the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. Thus, the button 4 indirectly presses down the pressure plate 6 through the linkage 7 to press the tactile switch 21, thereby realizing the power on / off of the switch. Therefore, regardless of where the user presses the pressing surface 49 of button 4, that is, whether it is the upper part 42, the middle part 41, or the lower part 43 of button 4, button 4 can move downward and directly or indirectly press down the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. Thus, the user can press any position of button 4 of the smart button switch to turn the power on and off. Compared with the traditional smart button switch, which can only press one end of the button or press the upper and lower ends of the button, it is more convenient and comfortable, greatly facilitating the user's use and making the user experience better.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the fixing frame 1 has a receiving space, and the button circuit board 2 is housed inside the fixing frame 1. The fixing frame 1 is an integral structure, which saves on the number of molds and strengthens the overall strength of the fixing frame 1.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the intelligent push button switch includes a push button circuit board 2 disposed within the fixed frame 1, and a tactile switch 21 disposed on the push button circuit board 2.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the intelligent push-button switch also includes a power circuit board 8. The power circuit board 8 and the push-button circuit board 2 are connected by pin headers 81 and nut headers 22, which serves both to position the power circuit board 8 and the push-button circuit board 2 and to transmit current. When the tactile switch 21 on the push-button circuit board 2 is pressed, it triggers the relay on the power circuit board 8, thereby turning the switch on or off.

[0037] As an embodiment of the present invention, the panel assembly 3 includes a face cover 31 fixed on the mounting bracket 1 and a panel 32 fixed on the mounting bracket 1 and covering the face cover 31. The face cover 31 is provided with a mounting groove 311 corresponding to the position of the tactile switch 21. The panel 32 is provided with a through hole 321 opposite to the mounting groove 311. The pressure plate 6 is installed in the mounting groove 311 and passes through the through hole 321.

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic element 5 is fixed in the mounting groove 311, the top of the pressure plate 6 passes through the through hole 321, the pressure plate 6 can move up and down in the mounting groove 311, and the button 4 is movably disposed on the panel 32 and can move up and down the panel 32.

[0039] In this embodiment, by inserting the pressure plate 6 into the mounting groove 311, the pressure plate 6 moves up and down within the mounting groove 311. The mounting groove 311 guides and limits the movement of the pressure plate 6, allowing the pressure plate 6 to move smoothly along the mounting groove 311. This ensures good reliability of the pressure plate 6 pressing the tactile switch 21, and makes full use of the internal space of the cover 31, avoiding the pressure plate 6 occupying extra space, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the switch. Furthermore, because the pressure plate 6 moves smoothly, it can improve the pressing feel of the button 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the faceplate 31 is assembled with the mounting bracket 1, it presses down on the button circuit board 2. Then, the screws 9 are tightened to fix the faceplate 31 to the mounting bracket 1. Next, the elastic element 5 is installed into the mounting groove 311 of the faceplate 31. Finally, the pressure plate 6 is installed into the mounting groove 311 of the faceplate 31 and supported on the elastic element 5. Then, the panel 32 is installed on the mounting bracket 1 and the faceplate 31 is covered. In addition to this embodiment, the elastic element 5 can also be fixed to the panel 32, and the bottom of the pressure plate 6 passes through the mounting groove 311 and can press the tactile switch 21. In addition, the panel 32 and the faceplate 31 of the panel assembly 3 can also be made into an integral structure, that is, a single component, which facilitates assembly.

[0041] Please refer to the reference. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, limiting holes 40 are respectively provided on both sides of the button 4, and limiting shafts 320 that cooperate with the limiting holes 40 are provided on the panel assembly 3. The limiting shafts 320 pass through the limiting holes 40. When the button 4 moves up and down relative to the panel assembly 3, the limiting holes 40 can move up and down relative to the limiting shafts 320. At the same time, the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4 swings slightly downward around the limiting shafts 320 when pressed. Specifically, the limiting shafts 320 are provided on opposite sides of the panel 32. The limiting holes 40 are oblong holes.

[0042] In this embodiment, when button 4 is pressed, it moves downward relative to panel assembly 3 to directly or indirectly press down on pressure plate 6, causing pressure plate 6 to press the touch switch 21. During this process, limit hole 40 moves upward relative to limit shaft 320. When button 4 is released and reset, pressure plate 6, under the action of elastic element 5, drives button 4 to move upward relative to panel assembly 3 until limit shaft 320 abuts against the inner wall of limit hole 40, thereby limiting button 4 from continuing to move upward and limiting button 4. At this time, button 4 is reset to its original position.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the button 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting hooks 44, and the panel assembly 3 is provided with limiting holes 322 corresponding to the positions of the limiting hooks 44. The limiting hooks 44 are inserted into the limiting holes 322 and can move up and down along the limiting holes 322. When the button 4 is reset, the limiting hooks 44 move to abut against the lower end face of the limiting hole 322. Specifically, there are four limiting holes 322, which are located at the four corners of the panel 32, and the limiting hooks 44 are located at the four corners of the button 4. Since the limiting hooks 44 and the limiting holes 322 cooperate with each other, the button 4 can move up and down during movement, preventing the button 4 from flipping when the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 is pressed, ensuring that the button 4 can only swing with a small amplitude, and also guiding the button 4 during up and down movement, making the movement of the button 4 more stable; at the same time, when the button 4 is fully reset, the limiting hooks 44 abut against the lower end face of the limiting hole 322, thereby restricting the button 4 from continuing to move.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element 5 is a spring. Springs are readily available and have low operating costs, which helps reduce production costs. Preferably, four springs are used, each corresponding to one of the four corners of the pressure plate 6, ensuring smooth movement of the pressure plate 6. Alternatively, the elastic element 5 can also be a sheet spring, which uses deformation to provide elastic force to reset the pressure plate 6.

[0045] Refer again Figure 4 and Figure 5 As an embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the mounting groove 311 protrudes to form a mounting platform 312. The mounting platform 312 is provided with a fixing groove (not shown). One end of the elastic member 5 is fixed to the fixing groove, and the other end abuts against the pressure plate 6, which facilitates the installation of the elastic member 5. The fixing groove limits the elastic member 5, so that the elastic member 5 is stably fixed in the mounting groove 311.

[0046] As an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom protrusion of the pressure plate 6 is provided with a trigger end 61. When the pressure plate 6 presses the tactile switch 21, the pressure plate 6 presses the tactile switch 21 through the trigger end 61.

[0047] As an embodiment of the present invention, the linkage 7 includes a first linkage 71 and a second linkage 72 that are rotatably connected to the panel assembly 3 respectively; the upper part 42 of the button 4 can drive the first linkage 71 to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21; the lower part 43 of the button 4 can drive the second linkage 72 to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21; the middle part 41 of the button 4 directly drives the pressure plate 6 or drives the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 to rotate so as to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21.

[0048] In this embodiment, two independent linkage components 7 are configured so that pressing the button 4 will not affect the other linkage component 7 when one of them moves. Alternatively, a single linkage component 7 can be configured, directly fixed to the pressure plate 6, and distributed along the direction from the upper part 42 to the lower part 43 of the button 4. When the upper part 42 and the lower part 43 of the button 4 are pressed, the linkage component 7 can also be pressed down directly, and the linkage component 7 will then press down the pressure plate 6 to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. The pressure plate 6 can be reset under the action of the elastic member 5, which will also reset the linkage component 7 and the button 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, the upper part 42 of the button 4 abuts against the first linkage member 71 and drives the first linkage member 71 to rotate, causing the first linkage member 71 to press down the pressure plate 6, thereby causing the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21; when the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the lower part 43 of the button 4 abuts against the second linkage member 72 and drives the second linkage member 72 to rotate, causing the second linkage member 72 to press down the pressure plate 6, thereby causing the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21; when the middle part 41 of the button 4 is pressed, the middle part 41 of the button 4 directly drives the pressure plate 6 or drives the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 to rotate to drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21, thereby also realizing that the pressure plate 6 presses the tactile switch 21.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, it drives the first linkage 71 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. When the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, it drives the second linkage 72 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. This allows the user to press any position of the button 4 of the smart button switch to turn the power on and off, and makes pressing the button 4 less strenuous and provides a better feel.

[0051] Combined with reference again Figures 4-7 In one embodiment of the present invention, both the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 include a fixed part 73 rotatably connected to the panel assembly 3 and a rotating part 74 connected to the fixed part 73 and rotatable around the fixed part 73. The rotating part 74 is supported on the pressure plate 6, and when the rotating part 74 is pressed by the button 4, it can drive the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. The fixed parts 73 of the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 respectively cooperate with the shaft holes of the panel 32 to realize the rotatable connection between the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 and the panel 32.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, the upper part 42 of the button 4 drives the rotating part 74 of the first linkage member 71 to rotate. The rotating part 74 of the first linkage member 71 rotates and presses down the pressure plate 6, thereby pressing the tactile switch 21 to achieve the on / off state of the switch. When the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the lower part 43 of the button 4 drives the rotating part 74 of the second linkage member 72 to rotate. The rotating part 74 of the second linkage member 72 rotates and presses down the pressure plate 6, thereby pressing the tactile switch 21 to achieve the on / off state of the switch.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the middle part 41 of the button 4 abuts against the pressure plate 6, the pressure plate 6 is provided with a limiting groove 62, and the front end of the rotating part 74 is movably disposed in the limiting groove 62.

[0054] In this embodiment, the front end of the rotating part 74 is movably disposed within the limiting groove 62, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the switch. When the middle part 41 of the button 4 is pressed, the middle part 41 of the button 4 directly presses down on the pressure plate 6, thereby driving the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the rotating part 74 is supported on the pressure plate 6 and abuts against the middle part 41 of the button 4.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the front end of the rotating part 74 abuts against the middle part 41 of the button 4, when the middle part 41 of the button 4 is pressed, the middle part 41 of the button 4 directly presses down on the front end of the rotating part 74, thereby driving the rotating part to rotate downwards. The front end of the rotating part 74 presses down on the pressure plate 6, thereby causing the pressure plate 6 to press the tactile switch 21. By directly supporting the front end of the rotating part 74 on the pressure plate 6 and abutting against the middle part 41 of the button 4, it is unnecessary to open a limiting groove 62 on the pressure plate 6, thus reducing processing steps and lowering processing costs.

[0057] As an embodiment of the present invention, the panel 32 is further provided with a positioning rib 324, and the positioning rib 324 is provided with a positioning groove. The rotating parts 74 of the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 are placed in the positioning groove of the positioning rib 324. The positioning rib 324 positions the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 left and right, thereby ensuring that the rotating parts 74 of the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 can rotate around the fixed part 73 without deviation.

[0058] As an embodiment of the present invention, the upper part 42 of the button 4 is provided with a first protrusion 45, and the lower part 43 of the button 4 is provided with a second protrusion 46. When the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, it abuts against the first linkage member 71 through the first protrusion 45, and the lower part 43 of the button 4 abuts against the second linkage member 72 through the second linkage member 72 when pressed, so that the button 4 makes point and surface contact with the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72, thereby improving the pressing feel of the button 4.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, the upper part 42 of the button 4 presses down the rotating part 74 of the first linkage member 71 through the first protrusion 45, causing the rotating part 74 of the first linkage member 71 to rotate and press down the pressure plate 6; when the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the lower part 43 of the button 4 presses down the rotating part 74 of the second linkage member 72 through the second protrusion 46, causing the rotating part 74 of the second linkage member 72 to rotate and press down the pressure plate 6.

[0060] As an embodiment of the present invention, the rotating part 74 is a closed annular structure or an annular structure with an opening. The upper part 42 of the button 4 is provided with two first protrusions 45, and the lower part 43 of the button 4 is provided with two second protrusions 46. The two first protrusions 45 abut against the two sides of the rotating part 74 of the first linkage member 71, and the two second protrusions 46 abut against the two sides of the rotating part 74 of the second linkage member 72.

[0061] In this embodiment, by setting the rotating part 74 as a closed annular structure or an annular structure with an opening, the area of ​​the rotating part 74 covers as much as possible the area corresponding to the upper part 42 and the lower part 43 of the button 4, so that the switch can be turned on and off at any position when the upper part 42 and the lower part 43 of the button 4 are pressed. By setting two first protrusions 45 and two second protrusions 46, when the upper part 42 or the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the rotating part 74 of the first linkage 71 or the rotating part 74 of the second linkage 72 is subjected to balanced force, so that the rotating part of the first linkage 71 or the rotating part 72 rotates more smoothly.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating part 74 is U-shaped, which reduces the amount of material used in the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72, and ensures that the switch can be turned on or off at any position on the upper part 42 and the lower part 43 of the button 4. Alternatively, the rotating part 74 can also be other closed annular structures or annular structures with openings.

[0063] As an embodiment of the present invention, the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 have the same structure, and the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction of the panel 32 about the central axis of the pressure plate 6, which facilitates the processing and installation of the first linkage member 71 and the second linkage member 72.

[0064] As an embodiment of the present invention, the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 are both integrally bent from metal rods. By utilizing the high strength and non-deformable characteristics of metal rods, the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 are not easily deformed when the button 4 is pressed, ensuring that the first linkage 71 and the second linkage 72 can press down on the pressure plate 6, thus ensuring good reliability.

[0065] As an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the pressure plate 6 is provided with a movable latch 63 that can move up and down relative to the panel assembly 3, and the panel assembly 3 is provided with a limiting boss 33 that cooperates with the movable latch 63; when the pressure plate 6 is reset, the movable latch 63 moves to abut against the limiting boss 33. Specifically, the limiting boss 33 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 311 of the cover 31.

[0066] When the pressure plate 6 resets, the movable latch 63 moves to abut against the limiting boss 33. When the button 4 is pressed, the button 4 directly or indirectly presses down the pressure plate 6 through the linkage 7, and the pressure plate 6 moves downward. At this time, the movable latch 63 moves downward until the trigger end 61 presses the tactile switch 21. After the button 4 is released, the pressure plate 6 moves upward under the action of the elastic element 5, and the movable latch 63 moves to abut against the limiting boss 33. At this time, the pressure plate 6 resets to its original position.

[0067] As an embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the button 4 extends outward to form a button skirt 47, and the edge of the panel 32 extends towards the center of the panel 32 to form a panel skirt 327. The panel skirt 327 and the button skirt 47 are arranged at intervals relative to each other, and the inner surface of the button 4 protrudes to form a flange 48 for sealing the gap between the panel 32 and the button 4.

[0068] Because a button skirt 47 is provided around the edge of button 4 and a panel skirt 327 is provided around the edge of panel 32, when button 4 is not pressed, the panel skirt 327 and button skirt 47 maintain a relative distance under the action of elastic element 5, and a floating state is formed between button 4 and panel 32, making the product more aesthetically pleasing and closer to the modern smart home decoration style; moreover, the flange 48 on the inner surface of button 4 is used to seal the gap between panel 32 and button 4, so that there are no gaps on the product surface, making it difficult for dust to enter, and playing a dustproof role.

[0069] The working principle of the intelligent push button switch provided by this invention is as follows: When the user presses the middle part of the button 4, the button 4 moves downward as a whole, and the button 4 directly presses the pressure plate 6. The pressure plate 6 continuously compresses the elastic element 5, and the trigger end 61 of the pressure plate 6 presses the touch switch 21, thereby realizing the power supply to the switch is turned on or off; When the upper part 42 of the button 4 is pressed, the upper part 42 of the button 4 swings downward slightly, and the first protrusion 45 below the upper part 42 of the button 4 drives the rotating part 74 of the first linkage 71 to rotate. The pressure plate 6 is pressed down, and the pressure plate 6 continuously compresses the elastic element 5. The trigger end 61 of the pressure plate 6 presses the tactile switch 21, thereby turning the power of the switch on or off. When the lower part 43 of the button 4 is pressed, the lower part 43 of the button 4 swings down slightly. The second protrusion 46 below the lower part 43 of the button 4 drives the rotating part 74 of the second linkage 72 to rotate. The rotating part 74 of the second linkage 72 rotates and presses down the pressure plate 6. The pressure plate 6 continuously compresses the elastic element 5. The trigger end 61 of the pressure plate 6 presses the tactile switch 21, thereby turning the power of the switch on or off. When the user releases the button 4, the pressure plate 6 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element 5. The pressure plate 6 drives the button 4 and the first linkage element 71 or the second linkage element 72 to reset until the limiting boss 33 of the cover 31 abuts against the movable buckle 63 of the pressure plate 6, and the pressure plate 6 is reset to the position. At the same time, the limiting hook 44 of the button 4 abuts against the lower end face of the limiting hole 322 of the panel 32, and the limiting shaft 320 of the panel 32 and the limiting hole 40 of the button 4 form a blocking engagement. At this time, the button 4 returns to its initial state.

[0070] The intelligent push-button switch provided in this invention has a button that is movable on the panel assembly and can move up and down relative to the panel assembly. A linkage component is provided between the panel assembly and the button to drive a pressure plate to press the tactile switch. When any position of the button's pressing surface is pressed, the button directly drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch or drives the pressure plate to press the tactile switch through the linkage component, thereby controlling the power supply of the switch. Thus, the user can turn the power supply of the switch on or off by pressing any position of the button of the intelligent push-button switch, which greatly facilitates the user's use and improves the user experience.

[0071] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
