AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing rocker switches, the pivot of the panel is the same as the pivot of the transition piece. The panel needs to rotate at a sufficiently large angle so that the tumbler assembly can move the rocker into place, which increases the thickness of the switch.

Method used

A transition element and a lever element are introduced into the rocker switch. The transition element and the lever element are respectively hinged to the base. The transition element is driven to rotate by pressing the panel, and the lever element amplifies the rotation stroke of the panel, driving the rocker-type functional component to perform closing or opening operations.

Benefits of technology

By leveraging the principle of amplification, the panel can achieve a large stroke movement of the drive unit with a small rotation angle, reducing the thickness of the switch and improving flatness and aesthetics.

Abstract

The application discloses a rocker switch and belongs to the field of electrical devices. The rocker switch comprises a panel, a base, a rocker function assembly, a transition piece and two lever pieces; the transition piece and the lever pieces are respectively hinged to different positions of the base, so as to be rotatable relative to the base, and the transition piece is further fixedly connected with the panel; two sides of the transition piece distributed along a first direction are respectively movably connected with one lever piece; one side of the lever piece is provided with a driving part, and the driving part is movably connected with the rocker function assembly located in the base. The transition piece is rotated by pressing the panel, and then the lever piece is driven to rotate, the lever piece can amplify the stroke of the panel and drive the rocker function assembly to perform closing operation or disconnecting operation through the driving part. The rotation stroke of the panel is amplified through cooperation of the lever piece and the transition piece, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the switch to obtain an ultra-thin switch, and meanwhile, the flatness and the aesthetic degree of the switch product can be improved.
