Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-voltage electrics, and particularly to a switch assembly. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most of the existing switch devices directly connect their buttons to the internal swing parts therein to drive the closing and opening of the conductive parts inside the switch devices. In this structure, the rotation angle of the button is consistent with the swing angle of the swing part, which results in the overall thickness dimension of the switch device being limited. The switch device requires a relatively large thickness both inside and outside the wall, restricting the appearance effect of the switch device.

[0003] Although there are existing designs that propose to respectively arrange a rocker or a pressing rod on both sides of the swing part, and operate the swing of the swing part by pressing the rocker or the pressing rod on both sides by the button, so as to realize that the button drives the swing part to swing with a larger swing angle with a smaller rotation angle, thereby reducing the thickness of the switch device. However, the related designs have complex structures, are inconvenient for production and assembly, and have poor reliability. For example, when a rocker or a pressing rod on one side fails, the switch device cannot be used. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a switch assembly, which can reduce the rotation angle of the button of the switch device without reducing the swing amplitude of the swing part, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the switch device, and has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0005] The present invention provides a switch assembly, which includes a functional module and a transmission assembly. The functional module is provided with a swing part, and the swing part can be driven to switch the switch assembly between a closed state and an open state. The transmission assembly includes a first transmission part and a second transmission part. The second transmission part is arranged between the first transmission part and the swing part. The first transmission part can be driven to rotate. The second transmission part can rotate under the drive of the first transmission part. The second transmission part is rotatably connected to the swing part and can drive the swing part to swing. The switch assembly of the present invention does not need to be provided with swing rods or rocker rods distributed on both sides of the swing part. By arranging the transmission assembly and connecting the transmission assembly to one side of the swing part, not only can the rotation angle of the button be reduced, but also the swing part can be driven to swing in different directions by only driving one end of the swing part. Its structure is simple, reliable, and easy to produce and assemble.

[0006] In another illustrative embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the second transmission part and the first transmission part are connected through a first connecting shaft.

[0007] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the first rotation axis of the first transmission member and the first connection axis of the first connection shaft are located on both sides of the second rotation axis of the second transmission member.

[0008] In yet another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, a flange is provided on the surface of the second transmission member facing the first transmission member, and the first connection shaft is disposed on the flange. By providing the flange and arranging the first connection shaft at the flange position, the overall thickness of the transmission assembly can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the switch device.

[0009] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the swing member and the second transmission member are connected by a second connection shaft.

[0010] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the second connection shaft is located at one end of the swing member away from the first connection shaft.

[0011] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the distance between the second connection axis of the second connection shaft and the second rotation axis of the second transmission member is greater than the distance between the second connection axis and the third rotation axis of the swing member, which can further reduce the requirement for the rotation angle of the key and further reduce the overall thickness of the switch device.

[0012] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the second rotation axis and the second connection axis are located on both sides of the third rotation axis.

[0013] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the first transmission member and the second transmission member are respectively rotatably connected to the functional module.

[0014] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the first transmission member is connected to the functional module through a first rotation shaft provided thereon, and the second transmission member is connected to the functional module through a second rotation shaft provided thereon.

[0015] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, a second opening is provided on the second transmission member, and one end of the swing member can extend out of the second opening, which can further reduce the overall thickness of the switch device.

[0016] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the switch assembly further includes a panel, and the panel can drive the first transmission member to rotate.

[0017] In another schematic embodiment of the switch assembly of the present invention, the panel is connected to the first transmission member by a buckle.

[0055] Refer to Figure 1 , which shows an exploded structural schematic diagram of a switch device having a switch assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] The switch device comprises a panel 10, a transmission assembly 30, a functional module 20 and a mounting bracket 40. Among them, the functional module 20 includes a swinging member 21 which can be driven to switch the switch assembly between a closed state and an open state. The transmission assembly 30 includes a first transmission member 31 and a second transmission member 32. The second transmission member 32 is disposed between the first transmission member 31 and the swinging member 21. The first transmission member 31 can be driven to rotate, and the second transmission member 32 can rotate under the drive of the first transmission member 31. The second transmission member 32 is rotatably connected to the swinging member 21 and can drive the swinging member 21 to swing. The switch assembly of the present embodiment does not need to be provided with swing rods or rocker arms distributed on both sides of the swinging member 21. By providing the transmission assembly 30 and connecting the transmission assembly 30 to one side of the swinging member 21, not only can the rotation angle of the button be reduced, but also the swinging member 21 can be swung in different directions by only driving one end of the swinging member 21. Its structure is simple, reliable, and easy to produce and assemble.

[0057] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown in, the switch device can be provided with a panel 10 as a button. Snap fasteners can be provided on the panel 10, and a third opening 314 can be provided on the first transmission member 31. The panel 10 and the first transmission member 31 are connected by the snap fasteners and the third opening 314. When the panel 10 is pressed, the panel 10 can drive the first transmission member 31 to rotate. In addition, the first transmission member 31 of the switch assembly of the present invention can also be directly used as the button of the switch device without additionally providing the panel 10, which is not limited herein.

[0058] Referring to Figure 2 , which shows Figure 1 the structural schematic diagram of the switch assembly shown. Figure 2 In, the transmission assembly 30 has been assembled to the functional module 20. The first transmission member 31 and the second transmission member 32 are respectively pivotally connected to the functional module 20. Specifically, a first rotating shaft 311 can be provided on the first transmission member 31, an opening matching the first rotating shaft 311 can be provided on the functional module 20, a second rotating shaft 321 can be provided on the second transmission member 32, and an opening matching the second rotating shaft 321 can be provided on the functional module 20. In addition, a rotating shaft can also be provided on the functional module 20 and corresponding openings can be provided on the transmission assembly. The second transmission member 32 and the first transmission member 31 are connected by a first connecting shaft 322. The swinging member 21 and the second transmission member 32 are connected by a second connecting shaft 212. Among them, the first connecting shaft 322 can be disposed on the second transmission member 32 as shown in Figure 4 , or can be disposed on the first transmission member 31, which is not limited herein; the second connecting shaft 212 can be disposed on the swinging member 21 as shown in Figure 5 , or can be disposed on the second transmission member 32, which is not limited herein.

[0059] Refer to Figure 3 , which shows the structural schematic diagram of the first transmission member shown in Figure 2 One end of the first transmission member 31 is provided with a first connection portion 312 for cooperating with the first connection shaft 322. When the first transmission member 31 is subjected to a driving force in the direction of the functional module 20, it can rotate around the first rotation axis 311 and act on the first connection shaft 322 of the second transmission member 32 through the first connection portion 312 to drive the second transmission member 32 to rotate. A first opening 313 may be provided on the first transmission member 31, and the end portion of the swing member 21 can extend out of the first opening 313 to reduce the overall thickness of the switch device.

[0060] A third opening 314 for cooperating with the buckle of the panel 10 may also be provided on the first transmission member 31.

[0061] Refer to Figure 4 , which shows the structural schematic diagram of the second transmission member shown in Figure 2 One end of the second transmission member 32 is provided with a first connection shaft 322. When the first transmission member 31 drives the second transmission member 32, the second transmission member 32 rotates around the second rotation axis 321 and acts on the second connection shaft 212 of the swing member 21 through the second connection portion 326 to drive the swing member 21 to rotate. A second opening 323 may be provided on the second transmission member 32, and the end portion of the swing member 21 can extend out of the second opening 323 to reduce the overall thickness of the switch device. A flange 325 may be provided on the surface of the second transmission member 32 facing the first transmission member 31, and the first connection shaft 322 may be provided on the flange 325. By providing the flange and setting the first connection shaft at the flange position, the overall thickness of the transmission assembly can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the switch device. A groove 324 may also be provided on the surface of the second transmission member 32 facing the first transmission member 31 for accommodating the buckle on the panel 10.

[0062] Refer to Figure 5 , which shows the structural schematic diagram of the swing member shown in Figure 1 The swing member 21 is provided with a third rotation axis 211 and a second connection shaft 212. The swing member 21 is connected to the functional module 20 through the third rotation axis 211. The second connection shaft 212 is located at one end of the swing member 21 far from the first connection shaft 322. The second rotation axis X2 and the second connection axis Y2 are located on both sides of the third rotation axis X3. When the second transmission member 32 drives the swing member 21 to swing through the second connection portion 326, the swing member 21 rotates around the third rotation axis X3, so as to switch the switch assembly between the closed state and the open state.

[0063] Refer to Figure 6, which shows a partial structural schematic diagram of the switch assembly of the present invention. The first transmission member 31 and the second transmission member 32 are connected by a first connecting shaft 322, and one end of the second transmission member 32 and the swinging member 21 are connected by a second connecting shaft 212. The first rotation axis X1 of the first transmission member 31 and the first connection axis Y1 of the first connecting shaft 322 are located on both sides of the second rotation axis X2. When the transmission assembly 30 is driven, the first transmission member 31 rotates around the first rotation axis X1, and the second transmission member 32 rotates around the second rotation axis X2. When the transmission assembly 30 rotates, since the first connecting shaft 322 and the first connecting portion 312 of the transmission assembly 30 have the same stroke, and the distance between the first rotation axis X1 and the first connection axis Y1 is greater than the distance between the second rotation axis X2 and the first connection axis Y1, the rotation angle of the first transmission member 31 is smaller than the rotation angle of the second transmission member 32, reducing the requirement for the rotation angle of the key, reducing the overall thickness of the switch device, and being able to achieve swinging the swinging member in different directions by only driving one end of the swinging member. Its structure is simple, reliable, and easy to produce and assemble.

[0064] When the second transmission member 32 drives the swinging member 21 to swing, since the second connecting portion 326 of the second transmission member 32 and the second connecting shaft 212 of the swinging member 21 have the same stroke, and the distance between the second connection axis Y2 of the second connecting shaft 212 and the second rotation axis X2 of the second transmission member 32 is greater than the distance between the second connection axis Y2 and the third rotation axis X3 of the swinging member 21, the rotation angle of the second transmission member 32 is smaller than the swinging angle of the swinging member 21, further reducing the rotation angle required for the key without changing the size of the swinging angle of the swinging member, and being able to further reduce the overall thickness of the switch device.
