[0058] The reset member in this embodiment is provided on the cover plate 1 and / or the panel 2. When the pressing member is pressed toward the panel 2, the cover plate 1 is reset toward the direction away from the panel 2 by the reset member. The reset member is an elastic reset member.
[0059] See Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7The reset member includes a reset body 61 and a reset protrusion 62. The reset body 61 is provided on the panel 2 and tilted toward the cover plate 1. The reset protrusion 62 is arranged opposite the reset body 61 and is provided on the cover plate 1. When pressed, the reset protrusion 62 acts on the reset body 61, causing the reset body 61 to deform. When not pressed, the reset body 61 acts on the cover plate 1, restoring the cover plate 1 to its previous state.
[0060] By providing a reset member, the cover plate 1 will be dented after the pressing member is pressed. After it is not pressed, the reset member can restore the cover plate 1 to its previous state, that is, there will be no dent, thereby ensuring the integrity and beautiful appearance of the cover plate 1.
[0061] As an alternative embodiment, the reset protrusion 62 may not be provided. Figure 7 As shown, the panel 2 is further provided with a third through hole 24 , and the third through hole 24 allows the reset body 61 to pass through.
[0062] As another alternative embodiment, the reset member includes a reset body 61, which is provided on the cover plate 1 and tilted toward the direction close to the panel 2. In this case, the reset protrusion 62 may be provided or not.
[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 1 is provided with a rotating protrusion 17, and the panel 2 is provided with a rotating recess 22. The rotating protrusion 17 is rotatably connected to the rotating recess 22.

Light is reflected by the reflective surface and then emitted from the diverging body 73.
[0066] By providing a reflective surface, the light is reflected by the reflective surface, wherein the loss of light when transmitted by reflection is less than the loss of light when transmitted by diffuse reflection in the prior art, so that the light is effectively transmitted from one position to another, that is, the light guiding effect is good, thereby meeting the light guiding requirements of the product.
[0067] As an alternative embodiment, the reflective surface connects the light collecting body 71 and the light guiding body 72, or is provided at the end of the light guiding body 72 near the diverging body 73. The light collecting body 71, the light guiding body 72, and the diverging body 73 can be integrally formed, or separately formed, or partially integrally formed and the other partially separately formed.
[0068] The reflecting surface in this embodiment is an inclined surface. Figure 14 and Figure 15 The reflecting surface includes a first bevel 74 and a second bevel 75. The first bevel 74 connects the light collecting body 71 and the light guiding body 72, and the second bevel 75 is provided at the end of the light guiding body 72 close to the diverging body 73.

When one or more micro switches 41 are turned on, the light emitting diodes 42 can be lit. When the circuit board 4 is powered on, the light emitting diodes 42 on the circuit board 4 emit light. The light emitted by the light emitting diodes 42 is as shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown, the light is directly incident on the first inclined surface 74 through the light collecting body 71 of the light guide column 7. The first inclined surface 74 reflects the light into the light guide body 72. After passing through the light guide body 72, the light is directly incident on the second inclined surface 75. The second inclined surface 75 reflects the light into the diverging body 73. The light is then emitted through the diverging body 73 and passes through the light-transmitting hole 13 to the outside of the switch, thereby realizing the effective transmission of light from one position to another.
[0073] The assembly process of the cover plate 1, the light guide column 7 and the circuit board 4 is as follows: first, the divergent body 73 of the light guide column 7 is inserted into the light-transmitting hole 13 on the cover plate 1, and the multiple second positioning protrusions 15 on the cover plate 1 squeeze the side of the light guide body 72 of the light guide column 7, and then the circuit board 4 is installed under the cover plate 1, so that the light-emitting diode 42 on the circuit board 4 is located directly below the light collecting body 71 of the light guide column 7.

[0084] When assembling an electronic switch of the present invention, the circuit board 4 is installed in the second mounting cavity 56, the pressure plate 3 is installed on the switch base 5 and covers the second mounting cavity 56; the light guide column 7 is installed at the light-transmitting hole 13 of the cover plate 1, and the cover plate 1 is then installed on the panel 2, wherein the rotating shaft 171 of the cover plate 1 is buckled into the rotating shaft hole 221 of the panel 2, the pressing piece of the cover plate 1 is pressed on the micro switch 41 corresponding to the circuit board 4, the reset protrusion 62 of the cover plate 1 is pressed on the reset body 61 corresponding to the panel 2, the first clip 16 of the cover plate 1 is buckled in the second clip 21 corresponding to the panel 2, and the light guide column 7 is located above the light-emitting diode 42 corresponding to the circuit board 4; the multiple reset bodies 61 of the panel 2 press against the reset protrusion 62 of the cover plate 1, so that the cover plate 1 is upward, and at the same time, the multiple second clips 21 of the panel 2 buckle the first clip 16 of the cover plate 1 to balance the cover plate 1.
[0085] The working process of an electronic switch of the present invention is as follows: when the cover plate 1 is pressed at any position by hand, the reset protrusion 62 on the cover plate 1 presses the reset body 61 corresponding to the panel 2, causing the reset body 61 to deform downward. The reset body 61 generates elasticity, and one or more pressing members closest to the pressing position press on the micro switches 41 corresponding to the circuit board 4, causing one or more micro switches 41 to be turned on. The one or more micro switches 41 turn on the light-emitting diodes 42, and the light-emitting diodes 42 light up, thereby achieving connection; when the hand leaves the cover plate 1, the reset body 61 on the panel 2 presses against the reset protrusion 62 on the cover plate 1, and under the action of the elastic force of the reset body 61, the cover plate 1 is reset until the first buckle 16 of the cover plate 1 touches the corresponding second buckle 21 of the panel 2.
[0086] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
