[0069] 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.

[0070] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. For example, different combinations of specific technical features can form different embodiments and technical solutions. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in this invention will not be described separately.

[0071] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used merely to distinguish different objects and do not indicate that the objects have the sameness or relationship. It should be understood that the directional descriptions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to the orientation under normal use conditions, while "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions under normal use conditions.

[0072] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. The term "connection," unless otherwise specified, includes both direct and indirect connections.

[0073] In specific embodiments, a smart switch is applicable to any device that requires a switch, and is also applicable to switches of any type and shape. For example, a smart switch is applicable to a household light switch, controlling the light's on and off via a switch button; an intelligent switch is applicable to an exhaust fan switch, controlling the exhaust fan's on and off via a switch button; an intelligent switch is applicable to a wirelessly controlled switch; and an intelligent switch is applicable to a wired control switch installed on a wall. For ease of explanation, the following description uses a household light switch as an example to illustrate the smart switch.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the smart switch includes: a base shell 10, an electronic control component 20, a light-emitting component 30, a light guide 40, a button 50, and a light-transmitting area 51. The base shell 10 serves to fix or support the internal components of the smart switch. The base shell 10 can be any structure or shape that can fix or support the internal components of the smart switch. For example, the base shell 10 can have a slot structure for fixing the internal components of the smart switch; for example, the base shell 10 can have screw holes to fix the components to the base shell 10 with screws; for example, the base shell 10 can have a receiving cavity to install some components of the smart switch inside the receiving cavity; for example, the base shell 10 can be a circular base shell 10 or a square base shell 10. The structure of the base shell 10 can be determined according to the external usage environment. For example, as a wall-mounted smart switch, the base shell 10 can have mounting holes; for example, as a portable wireless smart switch, the base shell 10 does not have mounting holes. The following description uses a square base shell 10 with mounting holes as an example.

[0075] The electronic control component 20 is placed on the base shell 10. The electronic control component 20 can be understood as a circuit board capable of electrical control; there can be one or more circuit boards. The base shell 10 does not have a receiving cavity; this placement can be understood as the electronic control component 20 being placed on the surface of the base shell 10. Alternatively, if the base shell 10 has a receiving cavity, this placement can be understood as the electronic control component 20 being placed inside the receiving cavity of the base shell 10. A light-emitting component 30 is provided on the electronic control component 20. The light-emitting component 30 can be understood as any device or component capable of producing light, such as a light-emitting diode (LED). The specific location of the light-emitting component 30 on the electronic control component 20 can be set and installed according to actual needs. For example, the light-emitting component 30 can be installed at the geometric center of the electronic control component 20.

[0076] The button 50 is provided with a light-transmitting area 51. Applying pressure to the button 50 upon contact with it turns the smart switch on and off. The smart switch can have one or multiple buttons 50. The light-transmitting area 51 can be located anywhere on the button 50, depending on actual needs. For example, the light-transmitting area 51 can be located at either end of the button 50 or at its geometric center.

[0077] A light guide 40 is disposed between the button 50 and the electronic control component 20, and is used to guide the light emitted by the light-emitting component 30 to the light-transmitting area 51. The light guide 40 can be any device or structure capable of producing a light-guiding effect, or the corresponding structure may have a reflective material inside to guide the light generated by the light-emitting component 30 to the light-transmitting area 51. For example, the light guide 40 can be a cylindrical structure, guiding the light generated by the light-emitting component 30 to the light-transmitting area 51; further, to improve the light-guiding effect, a reflective material can be provided inside the cylinder to increase the intensity of the light entering the light-transmitting area 51. For example, the light guide 40 can be a reflector cup, surrounding the light-emitting component 30, with the light-emitting component 30 located in the center of the reflector cup, reflecting the light generated by the light-emitting component 30 to the light-transmitting area 51, with the specific light path as follows... Figure 2 As shown. The light guide 40 is located between the button 50 and the electronic control component 20. The light guide 40 can be arbitrarily connected to either the button 50 or the electronic control component 20. For example, one end of the light guide 40 is connected to the button 50, and the other end of the light guide 40 is close to the light-emitting component 30; for example, one end of the light guide 40 is connected to the electronic control component 20, and the other end of the light guide 40 is close to the button 50.

[0078] The light-emitting component 30 includes a first light-emitting component 31, and the light-transmitting area 51 includes a first light-transmitting area 511; the light guide 40 includes a first light guide 41; the light-emitting path of the first light-emitting component 31 intersects with the button 50; the first light guide 41 is used to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. The intersection of the light-emitting path of the first light-emitting component 31 with the button 50 can be understood as the light-emitting path of the first light-emitting component 31 not being parallel to the button 50 and the included angle being less than 180 degrees. Furthermore, the electronic control component 20 containing the first light-emitting component 31 is not perpendicular to the button 50. Except for the first light-emitting component 31, the light-emitting paths of other components in the light-emitting component 30 may or may not intersect with the button 50. For example, the light-emitting paths of some light-emitting components 30 may be parallel to the button 50, while the electronic control component 20 containing some light-emitting components 30 may be perpendicular to the button 50. The first light guide 41 guides the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. This can be understood as follows: when the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 intersects with the button 50, the first light guide 41 can guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. For example, if the first light-transmitting area 511 is directly opposite the first light-emitting component 31, and the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 intersects with the button 50, the first light guide 41 can be a reflector cup, which reflects the light generated by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. Alternatively, if the first light-transmitting area 511 is not directly opposite the first light-emitting component 31, and the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 also intersects with the button 50, the first light guide 41 can be an oblique cylinder, which guides the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511.

[0079] This invention provides a smart switch, comprising: a base shell, an electronic control component, a light-emitting component, a button, a light-transmitting area, and a light guide. The light guide is disposed between the button and the electronic control component, and is used to guide the light emitted by the light-emitting component to the light-transmitting area. By using a light guide to direct the light emitted by the light-emitting component to the light-transmitting area, the problem of light source overflowing from the entire button panel is solved.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511. This can be understood as the first light-transmitting area 51 not being directly opposite the first light-emitting component 31; specifically, when the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the first light-transmitting area 511 and the first light-emitting component 31 are not in the same vertical direction. When the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, the first light guide 41 can guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. For example, the first light guide 41 can be an inclined cylinder with circular end faces at both ends, and an inclined cylinder between the two circular end faces. One end of the first light guide 41 is connected to the first light-transmitting area 511, and the other end is close to the first light-emitting component 31. The light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 enters from the circular end face, passes through the inclined cylinder, and exits from the other circular end face, thereby enabling the first light guide 41 to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. For example, the first light guide 41 can be a reflector cup, and the first light-emitting component 31 is located in the middle of the reflector cup. The reflector cup can concentrate the light. Since the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 is deviated from the first light-transmitting area 511, it is necessary to adjust the installation angle of the reflector cup on the electronic control component 20 to change the light path so that the light passes through the first light-transmitting area 511. The specific tilt angle of the reflector cup on the electronic control component 20 is related to the distance between the first light-emitting component 31 and the first light-transmitting area 511. The specific angle can be determined according to the actual situation, as long as the light of the first light-emitting component 31 can be reflected to the first light-transmitting area 511.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first light guide 41 is bent at least twice. This bending can be understood as a change in the extension direction of the first light guide 41. Each bend of the first light guide 41 changes the propagation direction of the light within it. Since the first light guide 41 is bent at least twice, the propagation direction of the light within it will change at least twice. The specific number of bends can be determined based on the actual situation. When the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 intersects with the button 50, the electronic control component 20 and the button 50 are approximately parallel. "Approximately parallel" can be understood as the angle between the electronic control component 20 and the button 50 being within 10 degrees. Currently, due to structural factors, the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, while other light-transmitting areas 51 are directly opposite the light-emitting component 30. To ensure that the brightness of the first light-transmitting area 511 is consistent with the brightness of the other light-transmitting areas 51, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the smart switch and facilitating user operation, a first light guide 41 is needed to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. Therefore, the first light guide 41 needs to be bent at least twice. The following explains the situation where the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511 due to structural factors. For example, in some special environments requiring horizontal installation and suitable for the bottom box of switch type 86, mounting holes can be provided both horizontally and vertically on the bottom shell 10 for easy installation. The light-transmitting areas 51 are all located in the middle of the button 50. For single-button and three-button switches, the mounting holes are directly opposite the middle first light-transmitting area 511, causing the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 to deviate from the first light-transmitting area 511. For example, in order to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery, the battery compartment of the wireless smart switch can be installed in the middle of the electronic control component 20. In order to leave room for the installation and removal of the battery, the first light-emitting component 31 is deviated from the middle position on the electronic control component 20, which causes the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 to deviate from the first light-transmitting area 511.

[0082] If the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, the first light guide 41 can also adopt an arc structure for light guiding. The arc structure can be understood as a structure that undergoes countless bends, thus belonging to the case where the first light guide 41 bends at least twice. The angle of each bend can be the same or different, and the specific bend angle can be determined according to actual needs.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first light guide 41 includes a first part 411, a second part 412, and a third part 413. One end of the first part 411 is connected to the button 50, and the other end is correspondingly disposed in the first light-transmitting area 511; one end of the second part 412 is connected to the other end of the first part 411, and the extension direction of the second part 412 forms a preset angle with the extension direction of the first part 411; one end of the third part 413 is connected to the other end of the second part 412, and the other end of the third part 413 is close to the first light-emitting component 31. One end of the first part 411 is connected to the button 50. This connection can be any method that allows one end of the first part 411 to be connected to the button 50. For example, one end of the first part 411 can be connected to the button 50 with glue, or one end of the first part 411 can be secured to the button 50 by the structure on the button 50. Furthermore, the fact that one end is positioned correspondingly in the first light-transmitting area 511 can be understood as the end face of the first part 411 being directly opposite the first light-transmitting area 511, allowing light emitted from the first part 411 to exit through the first light-transmitting area 511. The extension direction of the second part 412 forms a preset angle with the extension direction of the first part 411. This preset angle can be understood as the angle of bending required according to actual conditions. For example, if the light from inside the second part 412 to inside the first part 411 needs to undergo a 90-degree deflection, then the preset angle between the extension direction of the second part 412 and the extension direction of the first part 411 is 90 degrees. One end of the third part 413 is connected to the other end of the second part 412, and the other end of the third part 413 is close to the first light-emitting component 31. This "closeness" can be understood as one end of the third part 413 not contacting the first light-emitting component 31, but the end face of the third part 413 is facing the first light-emitting component 31, so that most of the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 can enter the third part 413 and will not cause the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to overflow.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, a first transition structure 414 is provided at the connection between the third part 413 and the second part 412, causing the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to be reflected from the third part 413 to the second part 412; a second transition structure 415 is provided at the connection between the second part 412 and the first part 411, causing the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to be reflected from the second part 412 to the first part 411. The first transition structure 414 and the second transition structure 415 can be any structure, material, or device capable of reflecting light from the third part 413 to the second part 412, and then from the second part 412 to the first part 411, and the types of the first transition structure 414 and the second transition structure 415 can be the same or different. For example, reflective material may be provided inside the first transition structure 414 and the second transition structure 415 to reflect light from the third part 413 to the second part 412, and then from the second part 412 to the first part 411; for example, the first transition structure 414 and the second transition structure 415 may be provided as a smooth transition structure so that light can be reflected from the third part 413 to the second part 412, and then from the second part 412 to the first part 411.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the first transition structure 414 and the second transition structure 415 include reflective structures. A reflective structure can be understood as any reflective plane. For example, the reflective structure can be a plane provided with reflective material, through which light is reflected from the third part 413 to the second part 412, and then from the second part 412 to the first part 411. Alternatively, the reflective structure can be a mirror, through which light is reflected from the third part 413 to the second part 412, and then from the second part 412 to the first part 411.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first part 411 is perpendicular to the second part 412, and the second part 412 is perpendicular to the third part 413. Since the light emission path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, in order to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511, and to further simplify the structure of the first light guide 41, facilitating its installation and the arrangement of other internal structures of the smart switch, and avoiding interference between the first light guide 41 and other components during installation, the extension direction of the second part 412 can be set at a preset angle of 90 degrees to the extension direction of the first part 411. In this case, the first part 411 is perpendicular to the second part 412, and the extension direction of the second part 412 is set at a preset angle of 90 degrees to the extension direction of the third part 413. After two 90-degree bends, both light guidance and maximum ease of installation with other components can be achieved.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structure all form a 45-degree angle with the extension direction of the second part 412. The reflection of light must obey the law of reflection, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence; the reflected ray, the incident ray, and the normal lie in the same plane; the reflected ray and the incident ray are located on opposite sides of the normal. When the first part 411 is perpendicular to the second part 412, and the second part 412 is perpendicular to the third part 413, it should be noted that the intersection of the two planes will result in two included angles, which add up to 180 degrees. If one angle is 45 degrees, then the other angle is 135 degrees. At the same time, there are two cases where the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structure are all at a 45-degree angle to the extension direction of the second part 412. In one case, the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structure are between the 90-degree angle between the first part 411 and the second part 412 and the 90-degree angle between the second part 412 and the third part 413. In this case, although the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structure are all at a 45-degree angle to the extension direction of the second part 412, they will block the reflection of light, which does not meet the requirements of the technical solution. In another scenario, the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structures are located between the 270-degree angles between the first part 411 and the second part 412, and between the second part 412 and the third part 413. The reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structures all form a 45-degree angle with the extending direction of the second part 412. In this case, most of the light rays have an incident angle of 45 degrees and a reflection angle of 45 degrees. Most of the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 is parallel to the extending direction of the third part 413. After reflection by the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structures included in the first transition structure 414, most of the light rays are parallel to the extending direction of the second part 412. After reflection by the reflective surfaces formed by the reflective structures included in the second transition structure 415, most of the light rays are parallel to the extending direction of the first part 411. This minimizes the number of reflections of light within the first light guide 41, thereby preventing the attenuation of light intensity.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least a portion of the first light guide 41 gradually decreases from the end near the first light-emitting component 31 towards the end connecting the button 50, wherein the cross-section is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first light guide 41. To improve the light intensity of the first light-transmitting area 511, the first light-emitting component 31 can be designed with a light-focusing effect. The at least portion of the first light guide 41 can be understood as any segment of the first light guide 41, or as multiple segments. For example, if the cross-sectional area of ​​the first portion 411 of the first light guide 41 gradually decreases from the end near the first light-emitting component 31 towards the end connecting the button 50, the light will have a focusing effect, and the light intensity per unit area will increase. For example, if the cross-sectional areas of both the first portion 411 and the third portion 413 of the first light guide 41 gradually decrease from the end near the first light-emitting component 31 towards the end connecting the button 50, the light will converge twice, further increasing the light intensity per unit area.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second transition structure 415 gradually decreases from near the second portion 412 to near the first portion 411. To further improve the light-gathering effect, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second transition structure 415 can be gradually reduced from the end near the first light-emitting component 31 to the end connecting the button 50, that is, from near the second portion 412 to near the first portion 411. Any structure that can achieve the gradual reduction of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second transition structure 415 from near the second portion 412 to near the first portion 411 is within the scope of protection of this application. For example, the two sides of the second transition structure 415 gradually decrease towards the middle; for example, any side of the second transition structure 415 gradually moves closer to the opposite side, which also achieves the gradual reduction of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second transition structure 415 from near the second portion 412 to near the first portion 411.

[0090] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second transition structure 415 includes a first side surface 4151, a second side surface 4152, and a first reflective surface 4153. The first side surface 4151 and the second side surface 4152 are arranged opposite to each other and together with the first reflective surface 4153, forming a first cavity for connecting the first part 411 and the second part 412. The distance between the first side surface 4151 and the second side surface 4152 gradually decreases from the end closer to the second part 412 to the end closer to the first part 411. The first reflective surface 4153 forms a preset angle with the extending direction of the first part 411. To achieve a better light-gathering effect, the cross-sectional area can be reduced by bringing multiple surfaces closer together. The second transition structure 415 is described in more detail below. The second transition structure 415 includes a first side surface 4151, a second side surface 4152, and a first reflective surface 4153. When the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the first side surface 4151 and the second side surface 4152 are vertically aligned and opposite each other. One side of the first side surface 4151 and one side of the second side surface 4152 are respectively connected to two vertically aligned sides of the second part 412. The distance between the first side surface 4151 and the second side surface 4152 increases from the end closer to the second part 412 towards the end closer to the first part 4152. One end of the structure gradually decreases in size, and the specific magnitude of the decrease depends on the actual situation. The first reflective surface 4153 is located below the first side surface 4151 and the second side surface 4152. Both sides of the first reflective surface 4153 are connected to the bottom surfaces of the first side surface 4151, the second side surface 4152, and the second part 412. The first reflective surface 4153 forms a preset angle with the extension direction of the first part 411. The specific value of this preset angle can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, if the preset angle is 45 degrees, then the angle formed by the first reflective surface 4153 and the extension direction of the first part 411 is 45 degrees. The two sides of the second transition structure 415 gradually converge, and the first reflective surface 4153 converges towards the first part 411. The first cavity formed by the first side surface 4151, the second side surface 4152, and the first reflective surface 4153 is connected to the first part 411 and the second part 412, respectively, so that the light coming from the second part 412 is converged, increasing the intensity of the light, and then transmitted to the first part 411.

[0091] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the first transition structure 414 includes a third side surface 4141, a fourth side surface 4142, and a second reflective surface 4143. The third side surface 4141 and the fourth side surface 4142 are arranged opposite to each other and surround the second reflective surface 4143 to form a second cavity for connecting the second part 412 and the third part 413. The third side surface 4141 and the fourth side surface 4142 are both parallel to the extension direction of the second part 412, and the second reflective surface 4143 forms a preset angle with the extension direction of the third part 413. Although gradually reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the first light guide 41 can achieve a light-focusing effect, considering the overall light-guiding effect of the first light guide 41, the difference between the cross-sectional area of ​​the third part 413 near the light inlet end close to the first light-emitting component 31 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first part 411 near the first light-transmitting area 511 is small. Therefore, it is not necessary for the cross-sectional area of ​​multiple parts to gradually decrease from the end near the first light-emitting component 31 to the end connecting the button 50, thus facilitating better light guidance. The first transition structure 414 will be described in more detail below. The first transition structure 414 includes a third side surface 4141, a fourth side surface 4142, and a second reflective surface 4143. When the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the third side surface 4141 and the fourth side surface 4142... The four sides 4142 are vertically oriented and opposite to each other, and are parallel to two sides of the vertical direction of the second part 412. One side of the third side 4141 and one side of the fourth side 4142 are connected to the two sides of the vertical direction of the second part 412 respectively. The second reflective surface 4143 is located above the third side 4141 and the fourth side 4142, and its two sides are connected to the top surface of the third side 4141, the fourth side 4142 and the second part 412. The second reflective surface 4143 and the extension direction of the third part 413 form a preset angle. The specific value of this preset angle can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, if the preset angle is 45 degrees, then the angle between the second reflective surface 4143 and the extension direction of the third part 413 is 45 degrees. The second cavity formed by the third side 4141, the fourth side 4142 and the second reflective surface 4143 is connected to the second part 412 and the third part 413 respectively, so that the light coming from the third part 413 is transmitted to the second part 412.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the smart switch also includes a middle shell 60; the middle shell 60 is located between the electronic control component 20 and the button 50; the middle shell 60 is provided with a receiving cavity, the electronic control component 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the middle shell 60 is connected to the bottom shell 10. In order to protect the electronic control component 20 from damage and to avoid the risk of electric shock when installing and removing the smart switch, the smart switch can also be provided with a middle shell 60, which is located between the electronic control component 20 and the button 50. During use, the button 50 can transmit force to the middle shell 60, and the middle shell 60 can then transmit the force to the electronic control component 20, which can prevent the button 50 from directly contacting the electronic control component 20 and reduce the probability of electric shock; the middle shell 60 can also be provided with a through hole, through which the button 50 can directly transmit force to the electronic control component 20, and the specific transmission method can be determined according to actual needs. The edge protrusion of the middle shell 60 connects to the bottom shell 10, forming a receiving cavity between the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10. The electronic control component 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity, which avoids direct contact between the electronic control component 20 and the outside environment, preventing the risk of short circuits caused by external dust. Simultaneously, the connection between the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 firmly fixes the electronic control component 20 within the receiving cavity, reducing the steps required to fix the electronic control component 20 to the bottom shell 10 and eliminating the need for structural modifications to the electronic control component 20 for mounting on the bottom shell 10. The connection between the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 can be of any form. For example, the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 can be connected using external auxiliary tools, such as glue or screws. For example, the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 can also be connected by their own structures. The middle shell 60 can be provided with a slot 61, and the bottom shell 10 can be provided with a first hook 11. Through the cooperation of the first hook 11 with the slot 61, the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 are connected together. To further improve the fixing effect, two first hooks 11 can be provided on each of the four sides of the bottom shell 10. The connection between the middle shell 60 and the bottom shell 10 is more stable and less prone to movement by fixing with eight first hooks 11. The specific number and size of the first hooks 11 can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, button 50 extends along a first direction (the first direction is as follows). Figure 11 (As indicated by the middle arrow); Along the first direction, button 50 has a pressable first end and a pressable second end. Specifically, it can be understood that the two ends of button 50 are independent states, capable of controlling the on and off of the load separately. For example, pressing the first end of button 50 once turns on the main light in the living room, and pressing it again turns it off. Similarly, pressing the second end of button 50 once turns on the auxiliary light in the living room, and pressing it again turns it off. Figure 12As shown, the middle shell 60 is provided with multiple pivots 62. In the first direction, each pivot 62 is located between the first end and the second end, and the pivots 62 are spaced apart along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. To facilitate dual-sided pressing of the button 50, pivots 62 can be provided on the middle shell 60. Furthermore, to ensure even pressure distribution at both ends of the button 50, the pivots 62 are positioned approximately in the middle of the middle shell 60 in the first direction. To further improve the support and stability of the middle shell 60, multiple pivots 62 can be provided in the second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. It should be noted that, with the smart switch placed on a horizontal plane as a reference, the plane formed by the first and second directions is the horizontal plane. The spaced arrangement of multiple pivots 62 in the second direction avoids the problem of the middle shell 60 easily collapsing due to a single pivot 62.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the button 50 has second hooks 52 on both sides, and each second hook 52 is connected to a different rotating shaft 62. For the button 50 to be pressed on both sides, it needs to rotate around the rotating shaft 62. By providing second hooks 52 on the button 50 and engaging them with the rotating shaft 62 on the middle shell 60, the button 50 can rotate around the rotating shaft 62. Furthermore, to improve the stability of the button 50 during use, second hooks 52 are provided on both sides of the button 50. Compared to a single second hook 52, two second hooks 52 prevent the button 50 from wobbling, significantly improving stability. Additionally, to further enhance the stability of the connection between the button 50 and the middle shell 60, the second hooks 52 on both sides of the button 50 are connected to different rotating shafts 62, effectively preventing the middle shell 60 from collapsing due to excessive force on a single rotating shaft 62. To better secure the electronic control component 20, the housing 60 is also equipped with a pressure post. The contact between the pressure post and the electronic control component 20 further prevents movement of the electronic control component 20 within the switch. The location of the pressure post varies depending on the function of the smart switch; as long as the pressure post effectively prevents movement of the electronic control component 20, it is sufficient. For example,... Figure 15 As shown, the wireless smart switch is equipped with a first pressing post 67 and a second pressing post 68. The first pressing post 67 is located in the middle of the middle shell 60, and the second pressing post 68 is located near the four corners of the middle shell 60. The first pressing post 67 and the second pressing post 68 respectively contact the electronic control component 20, ensuring that the electronic control component 20 is firmly in contact with the bottom shell 10, preventing movement of the electronic control component 20. From a structural mechanics perspective, the four corners plus the middle position provide better control over the movement of the electronic control component 20. For example, as... Figure 16As shown, the wall-mounted smart switch is equipped with second pressing posts 68, which are located near the four corners of the middle shell 60. These posts contact the electronic control component 20, ensuring a tight seal between the component and the bottom shell 10 and preventing movement. Structurally, the wall-mounted smart switch does not have a battery compartment, resulting in a more compact fit between components. Compared to wireless smart switches, the presence of second pressing posts 68 at the four corners is sufficient to prevent movement of the electronic control component 20. Specific contact details are as follows... Figure 25 As shown, the end face of the second pressing post 68 is in contact with the surface of the electronic control component 20, and the other side of the electronic control component 20 is in contact with the bottom shell 10. The electronic control component 20 is sandwiched between the second pressing post 68 and the bottom shell 10, making it unable to move.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the bottom shell 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 12 and a second mounting hole 13. A plurality of first mounting holes 12 are spaced apart in a first direction, and a plurality of second mounting holes 13 are spaced apart in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; wherein, the plurality of first mounting holes 12 are symmetrical about the geometric center of the bottom shell 10, and the plurality of second mounting holes 13 are symmetrical about the geometric center of the bottom shell 10. To facilitate mounting the smart switch on a wall or in other locations, mounting holes can be provided on the base shell 10. Any number of switches exceeding one can be considered multiple. Since there are only two mounting holes, installation can only be performed in one direction. To increase the installation flexibility of the smart switch and make it suitable for installation in both horizontal and vertical directions, first mounting holes 12 and second mounting holes 13 can be provided on the base shell 10. Multiple first mounting holes 12 are spaced apart in the first direction, and multiple second mounting holes 13 are spaced apart in the second direction. The specific installation positions can be determined according to the actual situation. The multiple first mounting holes 12 can be symmetrical about the geometric center of the base shell 10, or not. Similarly, the multiple second mounting holes 13 can be symmetrical about the geometric center of the base shell 10, or not. For example, there are two first mounting holes 12, which are provided on the bottom shell 10 along a first direction, one of which is close to one end of the bottom shell 10 and the other is close to the geometric center of the bottom shell 10; for example, there are two second mounting holes 13, which are provided at both ends of the bottom shell 10 along a second direction, and both second mounting holes 13 are close to the edge of the bottom shell 10.

[0096] Multiple first mounting holes 12 and multiple second mounting holes 13 are symmetrical about the geometric center of the base shell 10. For ease of installation, no installation orientation is required; the base shell 10 can be rotated 180 degrees and still be installed. The multiple first mounting holes 12 and multiple second mounting holes 13 can be arranged symmetrically about the geometric center of the base shell 10. For example, there are two first mounting holes 12 and two second mounting holes 13. The first mounting holes 12 are located on the axis symmetrical about the first direction of the base shell 10, near the edge of the base shell 10. The second mounting holes 13 are located on the axis symmetrical about the second direction of the base shell 10, near the edge of the base shell 10. That is, the base shell 10 can be symmetrical about the connecting line between the two first mounting holes 12 and also about the connecting line between the two second mounting holes 13.

[0097] In some embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, the first light-transmitting area 511 is directly opposite the first mounting hole 12. When the smart switch has an odd number of buttons 50, the first light-transmitting area 511 of the button 50 is directly opposite the first mounting hole 12. This "directly opposite" should be understood as the first mounting hole 12 and the first light-transmitting area 511 being in the same vertical direction when the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface. Therefore, the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, requiring the use of a first light guide 41 to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. For example, when there is one button 50, the light-transmitting area 51 of the button 50 is the first light-transmitting area 511, and the first light-transmitting area 511 of the button 50 is directly opposite the first mounting hole 12. For example, when there are three buttons 50, the light-transmitting areas 51 at both ends of the button 50 located in the middle of the three buttons 50 are the first light-transmitting areas 511, and the first light-transmitting area 511 of the button 50 is directly opposite the first mounting hole 12.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 18As shown, the number of buttons 50 is 3, and the buttons 50 are arranged along the second direction. The middle button 50 in the second direction is the first button 54, and the first button 54 is provided with a first light guide 41. The smart switch can have multiple buttons 50. When the number of buttons 50 is 3, the middle button 50 is defined as the first button 54. The first light-transmitting areas 511 at both ends of the first button 54 are directly opposite the first mounting holes 12. Therefore, the light path of the first light-emitting component 31 deviates from the first light-transmitting area 511, requiring the first light guide 41 to guide the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 31 to the first light-transmitting area 511. The first button 54 is provided with the first light guide 41, which can be understood as connecting the first button 54 and the first light guide 41. This connection can be any method that allows the first light guide 41 to be connected to the first button 54. For example, one end of the first light guide 41 can be connected to the first button 54 with glue, or one end of the first light guide 41 can be secured to the first button 54 through the structure on the first button 54. See details. Figure 22 The first button 54 is provided with a fixing structure 53, which is provided with two protruding structures. The first light guide 41 can be tightly fixed to the first button 54 through the two protrusions.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 19As shown, the middle shell 60 is provided with a first elastic arm 63 that can reset the button 50. The first elastic arm 63 forms a rectangular array on the middle shell 60. The middle shell 60 is also provided with a light-transmitting hole 64 for the light-emitting component 30 to pass through, and the light-transmitting hole 64 is used for the light guide 40 to pass through. The light-transmitting hole 64 forms a rectangular array on the middle shell 60. The button 50 needs to be reset after being pressed. The first elastic arm 63 that can reset the button 50 can be provided on the middle shell 60. The first elastic arm 63 can be set at any position on the middle shell 60 that can reset the button 50. For example, the first elastic arm 63 can be set at both ends of the middle shell 60 extending in the first direction, near the edge of the middle shell 60. Considering that the smart switch has multiple buttons 50 that can be pressed on both sides, and each button 50 is of similar size, the first elastic arm 63 is formed into a rectangular array on the middle shell 60 for the convenience of the overall structure installation. The middle shell 60 is located between the electronic control component 20 and the button 50. The light from the light-emitting component 30 on the electronic control component 20 must pass through the middle shell 60 to reach the light-transmitting area 51 of the button 50. The middle shell 60 is also provided with a light-transmitting hole 64 for the light-emitting component 30 to transmit light. Any hole through which the light guide 40 can pass is within the scope of protection of this application. For example, when the light-transmitting area 51 is directly opposite the light-emitting component 30, the position of the light-transmitting hole 64 is also directly opposite the light-emitting component 30. That is, when the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the light-transmitting area 51, the light-transmitting hole 64, and the light-emitting component 30 are in the same vertical direction. A cylindrical light guide 40 is used to guide the light through the light-transmitting hole 64. For example, when the light path of the light-emitting component 30 is deviated from the light-transmitting area 51, the light-transmitting hole 64 can be larger. That is, when the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, part of the light-transmitting hole 64 is in the same vertical direction as the light-emitting component 30, while another part of the light-transmitting hole 64 is in the same vertical direction as the light-transmitting area 51. Further considering that button 50 is a dual-sided press, the arrangement of light-transmitting holes 64 on the middle shell 60 forms a rectangular array.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20As shown, the number of light-transmitting holes 64 is greater than or equal to the number of first elastic arms 63, and the number of light-emitting components 30 is greater than or equal to the number of first elastic arms 63. Further consideration is that, to achieve the versatility of the smart switch, the number of buttons 50 can be changed according to actual conditions. Therefore, in the initial design, it needs to be set according to the maximum number of buttons 50. For example, when the maximum number of buttons 50 in the smart switch is 3, the smart switch also needs to satisfy both cases of 1 button 50 and 2 button 50. The smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, and the three buttons 50 along the second direction are defined as the left button, the middle button, and the right button, respectively. When using 3 buttons 50, because the buttons 50 are pressed on both sides, there are 6 light-transmitting areas 51, correspondingly requiring 6 light-emitting components 30 and 6 light guides 40. Simultaneously, there must be 6 light-transmitting holes 64 for the 6 light guides 40 to pass through, and 6 first elastic arms 63 are also required. When three buttons 50 are removed and replaced with two buttons 50, the first elastic arms 63 corresponding to the left and right buttons can be used, while the first elastic arm 63 corresponding to the middle button is left empty. At this time, the light-transmitting areas 51 of the two buttons 50 are not in the same vertical direction as the light-transmitting holes 64 of the three buttons 50. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of light-transmitting holes 64, and correspondingly increase the number of light-emitting components 30. When three buttons 50 are removed and replaced with one button 50, the light-transmitting hole 64, the first elastic arm 63, and the light-emitting component 30 corresponding to the one button 50 are the same as those corresponding to the middle button in the case of three buttons 50. No changes are needed. Therefore, the number of light-transmitting holes 64 is greater than the number of first elastic arms 63, and the number of light-emitting components 30 is greater than the number of first elastic arms 63. For example, when three buttons 50 are removed and replaced with two buttons 50, the first elastic arms 63 corresponding to the left and right buttons can be used, while the first elastic arm 63 corresponding to the middle button is left empty. At this time, the light-transmitting areas 51 of the two buttons 50 are not in the same vertical direction as the light-transmitting holes 64 of the three buttons 50. The position of the light-transmitting holes 64 is enlarged so that a part of the light-transmitting holes 64 is in the same vertical direction as the light-emitting components 30, while the other part of the light-transmitting holes 64 is in the same vertical direction as the light-transmitting areas 51. At this time, the number of light-transmitting holes 64 and the number of light-emitting components 30 do not need to be increased. Therefore, the number of light-transmitting holes 64 is equal to the number of first elastic arms 63, and the number of light-emitting components 30 is equal to the number of first elastic arms 63.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, the middle shell 60 is provided with a receiving hole 65, the length direction of which is parallel to the first direction. The first elastic arm 63 extends from the wall of the receiving hole 65 along the length direction of the receiving hole 65 to form a free end. The surface of the free end is provided with a boss 631, which can be triggered by the button 50. In order to provide better operating space for the first elastic arm 63, the middle shell 60 is provided with a receiving hole 65, the length direction of which is parallel to the first direction. The short side of the first elastic arm 63 is connected to the wall of the receiving hole 65. This connection can be achieved by the first elastic arm 63 and the middle shell 60 being integrally molded using a mold. The first elastic arm 63 extends along the length direction of the receiving hole 65 to form a free end. When the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the first elastic arm 63 is connected only by its short side. Pressing the free end of the first elastic arm 63 can achieve the up and down deflection of the first elastic arm 63. Due to its own structural toughness, the first elastic arm 63 can rebound, thereby driving the button 50 to reset.

[0102] A protrusion 631 is provided on the surface of the free end, which can be triggered by the button 50. To further improve the reset effect of the button 50, a protrusion 631 can be provided on the surface of the free end of the first elastic arm 63. The protrusion 631 can be of any shape. During the pressing process, the button 50 can contact the protrusion 631 immediately, reducing the rotation amplitude of the button 50 during the pressing process. For example, the protrusion 631 can be a hemisphere. When the button 50 contacts the protrusion 631, the button 50 and the protrusion 631 maintain a tangential relationship. There are no sharp edges between the button 50 and the protrusion 631, which can reduce the wear between the button 50 and the protrusion 631, thereby extending the service life of the smart switch.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 21As shown, the smart switch also includes a power supply structure 70 and trigger elements 80. The power supply structure 70 is connected to the electronic control component 20. The trigger elements 80 are spaced apart on the electronic control component 20. Pressing the trigger elements 80 by the button 50 triggers the electronic control component 20 to output a control signal. The power supply structure 70 is directly or indirectly connected to at least a portion of the trigger elements 80. Both wireless and wired smart switches require power. The power supply structure 70 can provide a battery 71 for the wireless smart switch and a wiring port for the wired smart switch. The smart switch can also simultaneously function as both a wireless and wired switch; for example, one side of the button 50 can be a wireless smart switch, and the other side can be a wired smart switch. The connection between the power supply structure 70 and the electronic control component 20 can be varied. For a wireless smart switch, this connection can be achieved by mounting the battery 71 on the electronic control component 20. For a wired smart switch, this connection can be achieved by connecting the power supply port to the electronic control component 20 via a wire. The electronic control component 20 is provided with trigger elements 80 at intervals. Pressing a trigger element 80 via a button 50 triggers the electronic control component 20 to output a control signal. The trigger element 80 acts as a switch on the electronic control component 20. Pressing the trigger element 80 controls the electronic control component 20 to output a control signal. The trigger elements 80 need to be pressed via the button 50, and the distribution of the trigger elements 80 needs to match the distribution of the button 50. Therefore, the trigger elements 80 need to be spaced apart on the electronic control component 20. For example, if the smart switch has a middle shell and a first elastic arm 63, pressing the button 50 transmits force to the first elastic arm 63, causing the first elastic arm 63 to contact the trigger element 80, thus triggering the electronic control component 20 to output a control signal.At least a portion of the power supply structure 70 and the trigger element 80 are directly or indirectly connected. Here, "at least a portion" should be understood as the smart switch allowing for changes in the number of buttons 50. The connection between the power supply structure 70 and the trigger element 80 differs depending on the number of buttons 50. This corresponds to the earlier statement that the number of light-transmitting holes is greater than or equal to the number of first elastic arms 63, and the number of light-emitting components 30 is greater than or equal to the number of first elastic arms 63. For example, when the number of buttons 50 is 3, and the buttons 50 achieve double-sided pressing, then the number of trigger elements 80 is 6, and the power supply structure 70 is connected to all 6 trigger elements 80. For example, the number of buttons 50... When the value is 2, button 50 achieves double-sided pressing, requiring 4 trigger elements 80 to operate. Therefore, only 4 operating trigger elements 80 need to be connected to the power supply structure 70. Not all trigger elements 80 need to be connected to the power supply structure 70. Thus, it is stated that at least some of the trigger elements 80 are directly or indirectly connected to the power supply structure 70. This direct or indirect connection can be understood as follows: when used as a wireless smart switch powered by battery 71, the power supply structure 70 electrically connects battery 71 to the electronic control component 20 to supply power, and the trigger elements 80 are electrically connected to the electronic control component 20. This is called a direct connection. When used as a wired smart switch, power is supplied through external wiring port 72. In this case, the power supply structure 70 electrically connects external wiring port 72 to the electronic control component 20 to supply power, and the trigger elements 80 are electrically connected to the electronic control component 20. This is called an indirect connection.

[0104] The trigger element 80 is equipped with a trigger point, which can be made of any material. Considering the smoothness of the pressing process, the trigger point on the trigger element 80 can be made of a flexible material, which provides a soft feel during the pressing process and eliminates any jerking sensation, thereby improving the comfort of pressing and enhancing the sense of sophistication of the switch.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 22As shown, there are multiple first light guides 41, which are symmetrical about the geometric center of the first button 54; there are multiple first light-emitting components 31, which are symmetrical about the geometric center of the electronic control component 20; wherein, the line connecting the geometric center of the first button 54 and the geometric center of the electronic control component 20 is perpendicular to the surface of the electronic control component 20 on which the first light-emitting components 31 are disposed. The button 50 is connected to the light guide 40, and the button 50 is installed together with the light guide 40. To further facilitate installation, the structure of the smart switch can be set to be symmetrical about the geometric center of the smart switch. For example, when there are 3 buttons 50, the first light guide 41 is connected to the first button 54, the first light guide 41 is symmetrical about the geometric center of the first button 54, and the first light-emitting components 31 are symmetrical about the geometric center of the electronic control component 20. The line connecting the geometric center of the first button 54 and the geometric center of the electronic control component 20 is perpendicular to the surface of the electronic control component 20 where the first light-emitting component 31 is located. This can be understood as follows: when the smart switch is placed on a horizontal surface, the surface of the first light-emitting component 31 is parallel to the horizontal surface, and the geometric center of the first button 54 and the geometric center of the electronic control component 20 are in the same vertical direction. When the first button 54 and the first light guide 41 are installed, there is no need to distinguish the direction, and they can both be installed on the smart switch, which improves the installation efficiency.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the smart switch also includes a middle shell 60, located between the electronic control component 20 and the button 50. The middle shell 60 is provided with light-transmitting holes 64 for the light-emitting component 30 to pass through, and the light-transmitting holes 64 are used for the light guide component 40 to pass through. There are multiple light-transmitting holes 64, and they are symmetrical about the geometric center of the middle shell 60. The various specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. Under the premise that the smart switch is provided with a middle shell 60, the middle shell 60 is provided with light-transmitting holes 64 for the light-emitting component 30 to pass through, and the light guide component 40 to pass through. The number of light-transmitting holes 64 is set according to the maximum capacity of the smart switch. For example, if the maximum number of buttons 50 in the switch is 3, then the number of light-transmitting holes 64 can be set to 10. Specific details have been described above and will not be repeated here. To enable installation regardless of orientation, the light-transmitting hole 64 is also designed to be symmetrical about the geometric center of the middle shell 60. Thus, the button 50 of the smart switch is symmetrical about its geometric center, the first light guide 41 is symmetrical about its geometric center, the light-transmitting hole 64 is symmetrical about its geometric center, and the first light-emitting component 31 is symmetrical about its geometric center. When the smart switch is placed on a horizontal plane, the geometric centers of the button 50, the middle shell 60, and the electronic control component 20 are all in the same vertical direction. Therefore, the corresponding button and middle shell can be installed regardless of orientation, that is, they can still be installed even after rotating 180 degrees.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 23 As shown, the electronic control component 20 includes a battery compartment 21 and a second elastic arm 66; the power supply structure 70 includes a battery 71; wherein, the battery compartment 21 is used to house the battery 71; and the second elastic arm 66 is used to control the battery 71 to slide out of the battery compartment 21. When the smart switch is used as a wireless switch, the electronic control component 20 is provided with a battery compartment 21 and a second elastic arm 66. The battery compartment 21 can be located in the gap between the triggers 80. The power supply structure 70 is a battery. The battery compartment 21 has an opening for housing the battery 71. To prevent the battery 71 from sliding out of the battery compartment 21, a second elastic arm 66 can be provided at the entrance of the battery compartment 21. The second elastic arm 66 controls the battery 71 to slide out of the battery compartment 21. The second elastic arm 66 can be located at any position that can control the entry and exit of the battery 71. For ease of explanation, the smart switch is placed on a horizontal plane as a reference. For example, the second elastic arm 66 is L-shaped. One end of the second elastic arm 66 is set on the battery compartment 21, and the other end is vertically downward. The downward end of the second elastic arm 66 is used to prevent the battery 71 from sliding out of the battery compartment 21. When installing and removing the battery 71, the downward end of the second elastic arm 66 can be gently lifted to install and remove the battery 71.

[0108] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 23 and 24 As shown, the bottom shell 10 is provided with a groove 14, which is located below the free end of the second elastic arm 66. One end of the second elastic arm 66 can be connected to the middle shell 60, which has a space for the battery 71 to enter and exit. The free end corresponds to one end and is located at the entrance and exit of the battery compartment 21. The electronic control component 20 below the free end of the second elastic arm 66 is provided with a through hole, and the bottom shell 10 corresponding to the through hole is provided with the groove 14. When installing and removing the battery 71, the free end of the second elastic arm 66 is gently pressed downward, and the free end of the second elastic arm 66 will enter the groove 14, allowing the battery 71 to be installed and removed.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 23As shown, the electronic control assembly 20 also has a receiving compartment 22, which is adjacent to the battery compartment 21, providing operating space for removing the battery 71. To further facilitate the entry and exit of the battery 71 from the battery compartment 21, the electronic control assembly 20 also has a receiving compartment 22, located near the battery compartment 21 at its entrance / exit. This provides operating space for installing and removing the battery 71. The specific size and shape of the receiving compartment can be determined according to actual conditions, as long as it facilitates the installation and removal of the battery 71. For example, the receiving compartment can be circular, with a size slightly larger than the battery 71. The receiving compartment 22, along with the through-hole in the electronic control assembly 20 and the space on the inner shell 60 for the battery 71 to enter and exit, can be integrated into one unit. This can be understood as the receiving compartment 22 having a through-hole at its bottom.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 26 As shown, the power supply structure 70 also includes an external wiring port 72 for connecting to an external power source; the electronic control component 20 is connected to the external wiring port 72. When the smart switch functions as a wired wall switch or a combined wired and wireless wall switch, the power supply structure 70 includes external wiring ports 72. There can be multiple external wiring ports 72. Each external wiring port 72 provides power to the electronic control component 20 by connecting to an external power source. The external wiring port 72 can be any device or structure capable of transmitting electrical energy; for example, it can be a copper stud. The electronic control component 20 is electrically connected to the external wiring port 72. The external power source can be understood as household wiring or a household battery; any device capable of providing power can be considered an external power source. The external wiring port 72 can be installed anywhere on the smart switch. For aesthetic reasons and to improve installation convenience, the external wiring is located at the bottom of the base shell 10 to avoid interference with other components. Furthermore, to facilitate the connection of the external wiring port 72 to an external power source, multiple external wiring ports 72 can be arranged in the same direction on the bottom shell 10. For example, the smart switch is provided with three external wiring ports 72, which are arranged at the end of the bottom shell 10 along the first direction.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 26As shown, the trigger 80 includes a first trigger 81 and a second trigger 82. In a first direction, the first trigger 81 is located on one side of the electronic control component 20; the second trigger 82 is located on the opposite side of the electronic control component 20. To further enhance the practicality of the smart switch, the trigger 80 of the smart switch can be configured as a first trigger 81 and a second trigger 82. The first trigger 81 is used to control the wireless smart switch, and the second trigger 82 is used to control the wall-mounted wired smart switch. To facilitate the internal structural layout of the smart switch, the first trigger 81 can be placed on one side of the electronic control component 20, and the second trigger 82 can be placed on the opposite side of the electronic control component 20.

[0112] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27 As shown, the electronic control assembly 20 is equipped with a relay and a control unit 24; the first trigger 81 is directly or indirectly connected to the control unit 24. When the first trigger 81 is triggered, the control unit 24 sends a control signal to control the load through an external receiver; the second trigger 82 is directly or indirectly connected to the control unit 24. The control unit 24 is connected to an external wiring port 72 through a relay. When the second trigger 82 is triggered, the control unit 24 sends a control signal to control the relay to directly control the load. When the smart switch can be used as both a wireless smart switch and a wired wall smart switch, the electronic control component 20 can be equipped with a relay and a control unit 24. Considering that the first trigger 81 is used to control the wireless smart switch, the first trigger 81 is directly or indirectly connected to the control unit 24. The control unit 24 is equivalent to an information transmission device. The control unit 24 can be set at any position in the electronic control component 20. When the button is pressed, it transmits the force to the first elastic arm 63 of the middle shell 60. Under the action of the force, the first elastic arm 63 contacts the first trigger 81, triggering the first trigger 81, which is equivalent to turning on the power of the electronic control component 20. The control unit 24 sends out a control signal, and the external receiver receives the control signal to control the load. Considering that the second trigger 82 is used to control the wired smart switch on the wall, the second trigger 82 is directly or indirectly connected to the control unit 24. The control unit 24 is equivalent to an information transmission device. The control unit 24 can be set at any position of the electronic control component 20. When the button 50 is pressed, it transmits the force to the first elastic arm 63 of the middle shell 60. Under the action of the force, the first elastic arm 63 contacts the second trigger 82, triggering the second trigger 82, which is equivalent to turning on the power of the electronic control component 20. The control unit 24 sends a control signal to the relay, and the relay receives the control signal to control the load.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27As shown, the electronic control component 20 also includes a first circuit board 25 and a second circuit board 26. The first trigger 81 and the second trigger 82 are both disposed on the first circuit board 25. The second circuit board 26 is spaced apart from the first circuit board 25, and is connected to an external wiring port 72 and to the bottom shell. The first circuit board 25 and the second circuit board 26 are electrically connected. When the smart switch can be used as both a wireless smart switch and a wired wall switch, to avoid interference between internal components during installation, thus improving installation efficiency and ease of operation, the electronic control component 20 can include a first circuit board 25 and a second circuit board 26. When the smart switch is placed horizontally, the second circuit board 26 and the first circuit board 25 are spaced apart vertically, with the first circuit board 25 located above the second circuit board 26. The first circuit board 25 and the second circuit board 26 are electrically connected via pin headers and sockets 23. To facilitate the activation of the first trigger element 81 and the second trigger element 82 by the button 50, both the first trigger element 81 and the second trigger element 82 are mounted on the first circuit board 25, and the relay is mounted on the second circuit board 26. The second circuit board 26 is connected to the external wiring port 72 and to the bottom shell 10. The second circuit board 26 can be connected to the bottom shell 10 by screws. Through holes can be provided at the four corners of the second circuit board 26, and the second circuit board 26 can be fixed to the bottom shell 10 by screws.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 28 and Figure 29 As shown, the second circuit board 26 is located inside the bottom shell 10. The bottom shell can be provided with screw holes 16, and the second circuit board 26 also has through holes. Screws pass through the through holes to fix the second circuit board 26 to the bottom shell 10. A first snap-fit ​​component can be provided on the bottom shell 10, and a second snap-fit ​​component can be provided on the middle shell 60. The first and second snap-fit ​​components cooperate to fix the bottom shell 10 and the middle shell 60 together. For example, the first snap-fit ​​component on the bottom shell 10 can be a first hook 11, and the second snap-fit ​​component on the middle shell 60 can be a slot 61. Similarly, the first snap-fit ​​component on the bottom shell can be a slot, and the second snap-fit ​​component on the middle shell can be a first hook. The specific configuration can be determined according to the actual situation. The first circuit board 25 is located inside the cavity of the middle shell 60. It is connected to the slot 61 via the first hook 11, fixing the first circuit board 25 between the bottom shell 10 and the middle shell 60. The button 50 is provided with a second hook 52, which connects to the rotating shaft 62 on the middle shell 60. The bottom shell 10 is also provided with a wiring port groove 15, which is used to accommodate an external wiring port 72. The external wiring port 72 can be a wiring copper stud. The specific position of the wiring port groove 15 can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, it can be on one side of the bottom shell 10, or multiple wiring port grooves 15 can be located on both sides of the bottom shell 10 respectively.
