In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. It should be noted that when an element is referred to as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be an element in the middle. When an element is referred to as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an element in the middle. When an element is referred to as "set on" another element, it can be set on the other element or there can be an element in the middle.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the present application provides a switch panel 100 , which includes a mounting base 10 , a button component 20 , two connecting bases 30 , two reset assemblies 40 and two limit members 50 .

[0040] The key member 20 has two key portions 21. The key member 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 so that the key portion 21 can be tilted up or down relative to the other key portion 21. Each connecting base 30 is protruded from one key portion 21 relative to the mounting base 10. The connecting base 30 includes two first connecting arms 31 spaced apart. The reset assembly 40 includes a swing member 41, a connecting shaft 42, and a reset member 43. Figure 6 The swing member 41 includes a first swing portion 411 and a second swing portion 412. The first swing portion 411 is disposed between the two first connecting arms 31, and the second swing portion 412 is disposed at one end of the first swing portion 411 away from the other reset assembly 40. The first swing portion 411 is provided with a bar-shaped through hole 413 extending toward the second swing portion 412. The connecting shaft 42 rotatably passes through the bar-shaped through hole 413 and is connected between the two first connecting arms 31. It is understood that the connecting shaft 42 can move within the bar-shaped through hole 413. The reset member 43 is sleeved on the outside of the first swing portion 411, and both ends of the reset member 43 are pre-compressed to abut between the connecting shaft 42 and the second swing portion 412. Exemplarily, the reset member 43 can be a spring or an elastic sleeve. The limiting member 50 includes a first limiting portion 51 and a second limiting portion 52. When viewed along the rotational direction of the key member 20, the first limiting portion 51 is connected between the spaced-apart mounting base 10 and the second limiting portion 52 to form a limiting space. That is, the limiting space is located on the side of the second limiting portion 52 facing away from the key member 20. For example, the second limiting portion 52 may be protruding from the top of the first limiting portion 51. The second swinging portion 412 of each reset assembly 40 is rotatably limited within the limiting space.

[0041] In specific use, when one button portion 21 is pressed downward, the connecting seat 30 and the connecting shaft 42 cooperate to drive the first swing portion 411 below to rotate downward away from the end of the second swing portion 412. At this time, the restricted space prevents the second swing portion 412 from moving horizontally and upward to escape the restricted space. At this time, the elastic force accumulated by the pre-compression of the reset member 43 of the other reset assembly 40 pushes the swing member 41 upward, thereby supporting the tilting of the other button portion 21. The pressed button portion 21 can be used to trigger the switch panel 100 to open or close. Similarly, when the other tilted button portion 21 is pressed, the button member 20 can be used to trigger the switch panel 100 to open or close.

[0042] In the present application, the two reset assemblies 40 cooperate with the swing member 41, the connecting shaft 42 and the reset member 43 so that when the swing member 41 of one reset assembly 40 can be placed horizontally, the swing member 41 of the other reset assembly 40 can be tilted, thereby reducing the horizontal space occupied by all reset assemblies 40. It can also avoid the excessive longitudinal volume caused by the two swing members 41 being stacked vertically at the same time. Therefore, the switch panel 100 provided in the present application can improve the dimensional balance in all directions, thereby helping to improve the flexibility of use of the switch panel 100.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figures 5 to 7 The second swing portion 412 has a first curved end surface 4120 that is curved away from the first swing portion 411. The end surface of the first limiting portion 51 that faces the limiting space has a first curved region 510, which is adjacent to the mounting base 10. The second limiting portion 52 has a second curved end surface 520 that faces the limiting space. The curvature of the first curved region 510 and the second curved end surface 520 matches the curvature of the first curved end surface 4120. Thus, the first curved end surface 4120 can rotate along the curved surface formed by the first curved region 510 and the second curved end surface 520, thereby achieving rotatable positioning of the second swing portion 412 within the limiting space. The coordination of the first curved region 510, the first curved end surface 4120, and the second curved end surface 520 can reduce friction during rotation of the second swing portion 412, thereby reducing the force required to switch the switch panel 100 to a different state, thereby improving the user comfort of the switch panel 100.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 51 has two first arc-shaped areas 510 spaced apart, and the projection of the second limiting portion 52 is located between the two first arc-shaped areas 510. Reducing the size setting of the second limiting portion 52 helps to further reduce the friction force on the second swinging portion 412 when it rotates, thereby helping to further improve the comfort of use of the switch panel 100.

[0045] In another embodiment, the number of the first arc-shaped region 510 may be one, and the second arc-shaped end surface 520 may be transitionally connected to the first arc-shaped region 510 with the same width.

[0046] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 is provided with a first accommodating groove 101, the limiting member 50 is provided in the first accommodating groove 101, the first limiting portion 51 is connected to the bottom wall of the first accommodating groove 101 and the second limiting portion 52 spaced apart from each other, and the first accommodating groove 101 is conducive to further reducing the longitudinal volume of the switch panel 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the first accommodating groove 101 is recessed to form two second accommodating grooves 102. Each second accommodating groove 102 is adjacent to a first curved region 510 of a first limiting portion 51. The second accommodating groove 102 has a second curved region 1021 adjacent to the first curved region 510. The curvature of the second curved region 1021 matches the curvature of the first curved end surface 4120. The first curved end surface 4120 can rotate along the curved surface formed by the first curved region 510, the second curved end surface 520, and the second curved region 1021. The second accommodating grooves 102 further reduce the longitudinal volume of the switch panel 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the second accommodating groove 102 is recessed to form a third accommodating groove 103, which is used to accommodate part of the reset member 43. The third accommodating groove 103 can extend and widen in a direction away from the second arc-shaped area 1021. Similarly, the third accommodating groove 103 can further reduce the longitudinal volume of the switch panel 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The strip through hole 413 includes a first hole portion 4131 and a second hole portion 4132 that are connected to each other. The connecting shaft 42 passes through the first hole portion 4131. The aperture of the first hole portion 4131 is larger than the aperture of the part of the second hole portion 4132 adjacent to the first hole portion 4131. The second hole portion 4132 passes through the end surface of the first swinging portion 411 away from the second swinging portion 412. The structure of the strip through hole 413 is conducive to ensuring the connection stability of the connecting shaft 42, and is also conducive to reducing irregular fractures caused by stress concentration when the connecting shaft 42 abuts against the strip through hole 413 when the first swinging portion 411 of the swinging member 41 swings. Therefore, the structure of the strip through hole 413 is also conducive to improving the service life of the swinging member 41.

[0050] In another embodiment, the strip-shaped through hole 413 may not be provided to penetrate the end surface of the first swinging portion 411 , and the strip-shaped through hole 413 may only include the first hole portion 4131 .

[0051] In some embodiments, in combination with reference 4 and Figure 5The switch panel 100 further includes a rotating base 60 and two spaced-apart second connecting arms 70. The rotating base 60 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 101 and between the two second receiving grooves 102. The second connecting arms 70 protrude from the button member 20 relative to the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 101. One of the rotating base 60 and the second connecting arm 70 is provided with a rotating shaft 61, and the other is provided with a connecting hole 71. In this embodiment, the rotating base 60 is provided with rotating shafts 61 on two end surfaces perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two limiting members 50, and each second connecting arm 70 is provided with a connecting hole 71. The rotating shafts 61 are rotatably disposed in the connecting holes 71, thereby achieving rotatable connection of the button member 20 to the mounting base 10. The rotation method of the present application is relatively simple in structure, and locating the rotating base 60 on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 101 also helps further reduce the longitudinal volume of the switch panel 100.

[0052] In another embodiment, the button component 20 can be rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 by means of a hinge or a universal ball rotation.

[0053] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The switch panel 100 further includes a switch assembly 80, which is disposed on the mounting base 10. The switch assembly 80 is disposed relative to a button portion 21 and is also located next to a reset assembly 40, so that pressing one of the button portions can switch the switch assembly 80 to an on / off state. For example, the switch assembly 80 can include a travel switch or a micro switch.

[0054] Illustratively, a trigger portion 81 may be provided on the end surface of a button portion 21 facing the mounting base 10. Illustratively, the trigger portion 81 may be L-shaped, and the trigger portion 81 may be used to press or pull up a portion of the switch assembly 80 to switch the switch assembly 80 between on and off states. In another embodiment, the shape of the end surface of the button portion 21 facing the mounting base 10 may be modified, for example, to form a convex surface, so that when the button portion 21 is pressed downward, the most curved portion of the convex surface can press the switch assembly 80 to switch the switch assembly 80 between on and off states. Illustratively, the switch assembly 80 may be disposed within the mounting base 10, and the switch assembly 80 may be exposed on the side of the mounting base 10 facing the button member 20 via a window 104. In this embodiment, the window 104 extends through the bottom wall of the first accommodating groove 101.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The mounting base 10 includes a first seat portion 11 and a second seat portion 12 that are detachably connected. The stopper 50 is provided on the first seat portion 11. Correspondingly, the first receiving groove 101, the second receiving groove 102, and the third receiving groove 103 can all be provided on the first seat portion 11. The switch assembly 80 can be installed in the second seat portion 12. Exemplarily, one of the first seat portion 11 and the second seat portion 12 is provided with a hook 22, and the other is provided with a hole 105. The hook 22 is engaged with the hole 105 to achieve detachable connection between the first seat portion 11 and the second seat portion 12.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second seat 12 includes a detachably connected first portion 121 and a second portion 122. The second portion 122 is positioned closer to the first seat 11 relative to the first portion 121. Exemplarily, the first portion 121 and the second portion 122 can be connected by screws. The connected first portion 121 and the second portion 122 can together form a receiving cavity, in which a circuit element 82 can be installed to further enhance the functionality of the switch panel 100. Exemplarily, the circuit element 82 can be electrically connected to the switch assembly 80, so that the switch assembly 80 can switch the circuit element 82 on and off. Exemplarily, the switch panel 100 incorporating the circuit element 82 can also function as an electronic doorbell or a dimmer. The structure of the second seat 12 facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The mounting base 10 is provided with at least two terminals 13 (two terminals 13 are shown in the figure) at one end away from the button member 20. For example, the terminals 13 can be electrically connected to the circuit element 82. The switch panel 100 also includes a junction box 90 and an isolator 91. The junction box 90 is arranged away from the button member 20. The junction box 90 and the mounting base 10 together form a cavity. The junction box 90 is provided with at least two ports 901. For example, the number of ports 901 can be the same as the number of terminals 13. For example, the ports 901 can be openings or knockout holes. The isolator 91 is connected to the mounting base 10. For example, the isolator 91 is detachably connected to the mounting base 10. For example, the isolator 91 can be mounted to the mounting base 10 by snapping. The isolator 91 is provided in the cavity so that the cavity is divided into different sections. At least two terminals 13 are exposed in different sections. Each port 901 is used for inserting a cable to electrically connect to a terminal 13.

[0058] In this embodiment, the connection terminal 13 may be disposed on the first portion 121 .

[0059] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
