The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a new type of switch 10 includes: a bottom shell 100, a cover 200, a key panel 300, a switch connecting seat 400, an elastic seat 510, a spring 540 and a clamping block 520; the elastic seat 510 is arranged on the cover 200, and a receiving groove 511 is opened on the elastic seat 510. The side wall of the receiving groove 511 is provided with a protruding annular stopper 530. The spring 540 is arranged in the receiving groove 511. A limiting block 550 is provided on the first end of the clamping block 520. The first end of the clamping block 520 is located in the receiving groove 511. The first surface of the limiting block 550 is in contact with the spring 5 40 is connected, the second surface of the limit block 550 is movably abutted against the annular stop block 530, and the second end of the clamping block 520 protrudes from the outside of the accommodating groove 511; the bottom shell 100 is provided with a clamping groove 110, and the second end of the clamping block 520 is engaged in the clamping groove 110, and the surface cover 200 is connected to the bottom shell 100; the switch socket 400 is arranged on the bottom shell 100, and the switch socket 400 is provided with a toggle block 410, the key panel 300 is rotatably arranged on the surface cover 200, and one side of the key panel 300 is connected to the toggle block 410.

[0029] In this embodiment, the annular stopper 530 is arranged on the side wall of the opening of the receiving groove 511, the width of the limit block 550 is adapted to the width of the receiving groove 511, one end of the spring 540 is connected to the bottom of the receiving groove 511, and the other end of the spring 540 is connected to the limit block 550. When the spring 540 does not undergo elastic deformation, the limit block 550 abuts against the annular stopper 530, confining the first end of the clamping block 520 in the receiving groove 511, and the second end of the clamping block 520 The end protrudes from the outside of the accommodating groove 511, and by squeezing the clamping block 520, the second end of the clamping block 520 shrinks into the accommodating groove 511. At this time, the spring 540 is compressed and elastically deformed. The depth of the accommodating groove 511 is greater than the length of the clamping block 520. The second end of the clamping block 520 can shrink into the accommodating groove 511 until it is flush with the open side wall of the accommodating groove 511, so that the clamping block 520 can expand and contract in the accommodating groove 511 under the action of the spring 540.

[0030] When the cover 200 is installed on the bottom shell 100, the clamping block 520 is squeezed so that the second end of the clamping block 520 is retracted into the accommodating groove 511 to be flush with the side wall of the cover 200, so that the cover 200 can be embedded in the bottom shell 100. When the clamping block 520 is aligned with the clamping groove 110 on the bottom shell 100, the clamping block 520 extends outward under the action of the spring 540 and is embedded in the clamping groove 110. The cover 200 can be stably installed on the bottom shell 100. When the cover 200 needs to be removed from the bottom shell 100, the clamping block 520 is squeezed so that the second end of the clamping block 520 is retracted to disengage the clamping groove 110, and then the cover 200 is pulled out from the bottom shell 100 to complete the disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient, and the assembly or disassembly of the cover 200 and the shell can be completed safely and labor-saving.

[0031] In this embodiment, a power connection port is provided on the bottom shell 100, and the switch connection socket 400 is located on the outside of the bottom shell 100 at least partially through the power connection port. The switch connection socket 400 is used to connect the circuit, and the toggle block 410 is used to make the contacts of the moving contact piece and the static contact piece on the switch connection socket 400 contact or separate, so as to control the connection and disconnection of the switch. The key panel 300 is rotatably set on the second surface of the cover 200, and the key panel 300 is connected to the toggle block 410. The movement of the key panel 300 drives the toggle block 410 to move in unison, and the movement angles of the two are the same, and when the key panel 300 moves to the extreme position, the toggle block 410 also moves to the extreme position. At the extreme position, the toggle block 410 drives the contacts of the moving contact piece and the static contact piece to contact or separate, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection of the switch. It should be understood that the way in which the toggle block 410 drives the contacts of the moving contact piece and the static contact piece to contact or separate to realize the connection and disconnection of the switch is a technology that can be known to those skilled in the art and is achievable, and is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] In order to enable the key panel 300 to rotate on the cover 200, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, a mounting groove 210 is provided on the face cover 200 , and pins 220 are provided on the side walls on both sides of the mounting groove 210 . Pin holes 310 are respectively provided on both sides of the key panel 300 , and the pins 220 are rotatably provided in the pin holes 310 . Specifically, pins 220 are symmetrically provided on the side walls on both sides of the mounting groove 210, and two pin holes 310 are relatively opened on the side walls of the middle part of the key panel 300. The size of the pins 220 is adapted to the size of the pin holes 310. In this way, when the pins 220 are inserted into the pin holes 310, the key panel 300 can rotate on the second surface of the face cover 200. The side of the key panel 300 facing the toggle block 410 is provided with a connecting block. The connecting block is located between the two mounting plates, and the connecting block at least partially protrudes from the outside of the mounting groove 210. A connecting groove is opened on the side of the toggle block 410 facing the key panel 300. When the face cover 200 is arranged on the shell by being engaged in the engaging groove 110 through the snapping block 520, the connecting block is engaged in the connecting groove, so that the key panel 300 can drive the toggle block 410 to move, thereby realizing the switching on and off.

[0033] In order to better keep the switch in the on or off state, in one embodiment, a first magnetic block is provided on the first end of the key panel 300, and a first magnetic sheet is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 210. When the first end of the key panel 300 is rotated to abut against the first magnetic sheet, the first magnetic block is magnetically connected to the first magnetic sheet. A second magnetic block is provided on the second end of the key panel 300, and a second magnetic sheet is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 210. When the second end of the key panel 300 is rotated to abut against the second magnetic sheet, the second magnetic block is magnetically connected to the first magnetic sheet. The magnetic block is magnetically connected to the second magnetic sheet, and the first end of the key panel 300 and the second end of the key panel 300 are two ends that can rotate up and down. In this way, by pressing the key panel 300, when the first end or the second end of the key panel 300 abuts the first magnetic sheet or the second magnetic sheet, the first magnetic block is magnetically connected to the first magnetic sheet or the second magnetic block is magnetically connected to the second magnetic sheet, which can ensure that the first end or the second end of the key panel 300 is stably abutted against the cover 200, keeping the switch in the on or off state, and preventing the switch state from being changed due to accidental touch. Furthermore, the first magnetic sheet is an iron sheet, and the second magnetic sheet is an iron sheet. Iron is a paramagnetic material. In this way, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block can be well magnetically connected to the iron sheet.

[0034] In order to prevent the limiting block 550 on the clamping block 520 from over-compressing the spring 540 when squeezing the clamping block 520, thereby causing the second end of the clamping block 520 to be misaligned, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, an annular boss 560 is provided on the surface of the annular stopper 530 facing the limiting block 550 , and the inner surface of the annular boss 560 is movably in contact with the clamping block 520 . Specifically, one side of the annular stopper 530 is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 511, and the other side of the annular stopper 530 surrounds a channel opening, through which the clamping block 520 is extended and retracted outward, and the annular boss 560 is vertically arranged on the other side of the annular stopper 530, and the annular boss 560 can increase the length of the channel opening. The material of the annular boss 560 is rubber, and the rubber has good elasticity. In this way, when the limit block 550 on the clamping block 520 over-compresses the spring 540 and the second end of the clamping block 520 is retracted into the receiving groove 511, the retraction direction of the second end of the clamping block 520 can be better limited, and the second end of the clamping block 520 can be prevented from being misaligned, so that the second end of the clamping block 520 abuts against the annular stopper 530 and cannot extend out of the receiving groove 511 under the action of the spring 540. At the same time, it can prevent the limit block 550 from directly contacting the annular stopper 530, and can play a role of buffer protection.

[0035] In one embodiment, the number of the elastic seats 510 can be multiple, and the number of the elastic seats 510, the number of the springs 540, the number of the clamping blocks 520, and the number of the clamping slots 110 are the same. Specifically, by providing multiple clamping blocks 520 and the clamping slots 110, the face cover 200 can be more stably covered on the housing. The cross-sectional shape of the clamping blocks 520 is circular, triangular, or square, and the cross-sectional shape and size of the clamping slots 110 are adapted to the cross-sectional shape and size of the clamping blocks 520. For example, the shape of the clamping blocks 520 can be cylindrical, and the shape of the clamping slots 110 is correspondingly cylindrical. In this way, the clamping blocks 520 can be stably embedded in the clamping slots 110.

[0036] In one embodiment, an indicator groove is provided on the face cover, and the indicator groove is located above the mounting groove. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the indicator groove, and the first end of the through hole is communicated with the indicator groove, and the second end of the through hole is communicated with the mounting groove. An indicator rod is provided in the indicator groove, and the width of the first end of the indicator rod is greater than the width of the through hole, and the width of the second end of the indicator rod is less than the width of the through hole. The first end of the indicator rod is located in the indicator groove, and a fluorescent block is provided on the first end of the indicator rod, and the second end of the indicator rod passes through the through hole and is located in the mounting groove. One end of the button panel is movably abutted against the second end of the indicator rod, and a cover plate is provided in the indicator groove, and the cover plate includes a light-shielding plate and a light-transmitting plate, and the bottom of the light-transmitting plate is connected to the top of the light-shielding plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the novel switch is vertically mounted on the wall, one end of the key panel rotates to not abut against the second end of the indicator rod, at this time, the novel switch is in a connected state, the indicator rod moves downward as a whole under the action of gravity, the first end of the indicator rod is in the indicator groove, and the fluorescent block is aligned with the shading plate, the fluorescent block has fluorescent liquid inside, and the light emitted by the fluorescent block is blocked, when one end of the key panel rotates to abut against the second end of the indicator rod, at this time, the novel switch is in an open state, the second end of the indicator rod abuts against one end of the key panel, and the second end of the indicator rod moves from the through hole to the indicator groove, so that the indicator rod The first end of the indicator rod moves upward, driving the fluorescent block to move upward, and the fluorescent block is aligned with the light-transmitting plate, and the light emitted by the fluorescent block can be transmitted outward through the light-transmitting plate. Therefore, when the key panel is pressed to turn off the light at night, the indicator rod drives the fluorescent block to move upward, so that the fluorescent block is aligned with the light-transmitting plate, and the light emitted by the fluorescent block can be transmitted outward through the light-transmitting plate, which can facilitate the position of the new switch at night. The first end of the indicator rod moves upward, driving the fluorescent block to move upward, and the fluorescent block is aligned with the light-transmitting plate. When the key panel is pressed to turn on the light at night, the indicator rod can reset the second end of the indicator rod under the action of gravity, and protrude from the through hole into the mounting groove.

[0038] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The above-described embodiments merely represent several embodiments of the present application.
