Description

[0002] A reset switch, such as a push-type reset switch, refers to a switch whose cover can automatically reset each time the cover of the switch is pressed.

[0003] The interior of the reset switch includes a switch assembly, which includes a self-reset mechanism and an on-off mechanism. When the user presses the cover, the cover presses the self-reset mechanism, and the self-reset mechanism drives the on-off mechanism to turn on the power. When the user stops pressing the cover, the cover and the self-reset mechanism automatically reset. When the user presses the cover again, the cover presses the self-reset mechanism again, and the self-reset mechanism drives the on-off mechanism to turn off the power. When the user stops pressing the cover, the cover and the self-reset mechanism automatically reset again.

[0071] The above drawings show clear embodiments of the present disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0072] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] The present disclosure provides a reset switch. Figure 1-Figure 4 ,as well as Figure 9-11 As shown, the reset switch includes a switch assembly 1, a panel 2, an operating member 3 and an elastic reset member 4. The switch assembly 1 is located on the inner surface of the panel 2. The switch assembly 1 includes a self-reset mechanism 11 and an on-off mechanism 12. The self-reset mechanism 11 is used to control the on-off of the on-off mechanism 12. Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the operating member 3 includes an operating member body 31 and a driving rib 32. The operating member body 31 is located on the outer surface of the panel 2 and can slide or rotate on the outer surface of the panel 2. The driving rib 32 runs through the panel 2, and the self-resetting mechanism 11 is located on the rotation path or sliding path of the driving rib 32. The operating member 3 has an initial position A and a trigger position B. Each time the operating member 3 rotates or slides from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the driving rib 32 presses the self-resetting mechanism 11 once. The elastic reset member 4 is connected to the panel 2 and the operating member 3 respectively, and the elastic reset member 4 is used to drive the operating member 3 to slide or rotate from the trigger position B to the initial position A.

[0074] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is that since the self-reset mechanism 11 is located on the rotation path or sliding path of the driving rib 32 of the operating member 3, when the user drives the operating member 3 to rotate or slide from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the driving rib 32 will contact and press the self-reset mechanism 11, and the self-reset mechanism 11 will control the on-off mechanism 12 to be powered on (or off). After that, when the user releases the operating member 3, the operating member 3 will rotate or slide from the trigger position B to the initial position A driven by the elastic reset member 4, and at the same time, the self-reset mechanism 11 will automatically return to its original position.

[0075] When the user drives the operating member 3 to rotate or slide from the initial position A to the trigger position B again, the driving rib 32 will contact the self-reset mechanism 11 again and press the self-reset mechanism 11 again, and the self-reset mechanism 11 will control the on-off mechanism 12 to cut off (or turn on). After that, the user releases the operating member 3, and the operating member 3 will rotate or slide from the trigger position B to the initial position A again under the drive of the elastic reset member 4, and at the same time, the self-reset mechanism 11 will automatically return to its original position again. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sliding or rotating reset switch.

[0076] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Fig.11 As shown, the reset switch further includes a steel frame 6, the panel 2 and the switch assembly 1 are fixed to the steel frame 6, and the steel frame 6 can support the panel 2, thereby enhancing the strength of the panel 2. In some examples, the reset switch is connected to the junction box in the wall through the steel frame 6, thereby being fixed to the wall.

[0077] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the self-resetting mechanism 11 includes a driving block 111 on the side facing the panel 2, and the driving block 111 is located on the rotation path or sliding path of the driving rib 32. The surface of the driving block 111 facing the panel 2 is an inclined surface 110, and along the direction in which the operating member 3 rotates or slides from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the distance between the inclined surface 110 and the panel 2 gradually decreases. In this way, during the sliding or rotation of the operating member 3 from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the driving rib 32 contacts the inclined surface 110, and under the guidance of the inclined surface 110, the driving rib 32 gradually compresses the driving block 111 and realizes the pressing of the self-resetting mechanism 11. Among them, the setting of the inclined surface 110 can prevent the driving rib 32 and the driving block 111 from getting stuck, resulting in the driving rib 32 being unable to compress the driving block 111.

[0078] Next, the specific structure of the reset switch is exemplarily described in combination with the specific movement mode of the operating member 3.

[0079] (1) Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the operating member 3 is a rotating member, and the reset switch is a rotary reset switch.

[0080] In some examples, the operating member 3 has two trigger positions B, and the two trigger positions B are located on both sides of the initial position A. When the operating member 3 rotates clockwise, the driving rib 32 rotates from the initial position A to one trigger position B. When the operating member 3 rotates counterclockwise, the driving rib 32 rotates from the initial position A to another trigger position B. In this way, no matter in which direction the operating member 3 rotates, the driving rib 32 can press the self-reset mechanism 11.

[0081] Correspondingly, such as Figure 5 As shown, the self-reset mechanism 11 includes two driving blocks 111 on the side facing the panel 2, one of which is located on the rotation path of the driving rib 32 from the initial position A to a trigger position B. The other driving block 111 is located on the rotation path of the driving rib 32 from the initial position A to another trigger position B. When the operating member 3 rotates in any direction, the driving rib 32 can press the driving block 111.

[0082] like Fig.16 As shown, the side wall of the driving block 111 is arc-shaped, that is, the projection of the driving block 111 on the panel 2 is arc-shaped, so as to ensure that the driving block 111 is always located on the rotation path of the driving rib 32, thereby ensuring that the driving rib 32 can always abut against the driving block 111 when rotating. When the operating member 3 is in the initial position, the two driving blocks 111 are symmetrically distributed along the symmetry axis of the operating member body 31, and the height of the inclined surface 110 gradually increases in the direction away from the symmetry axis.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, when the operating member 3 rotates, the bottom of the driving rib 32 and the inclined surface 110 slide relative to each other. The driving block 111 moves in a direction away from the operating member body 31 under the pressure of the driving rib 32, thereby completing the pressing of the self-resetting mechanism 11 by the operating member 3. When the operating member 3 presses the self-resetting mechanism 11, the self-resetting mechanism 11 can control the power on or off of the on-off mechanism 12, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the electrical appliance by the reset switch. When the user releases the operating member body 31, under the action of the elastic reset member 4, the operating member 3 rotates to the initial position A, so that the driving rib 32 and the inclined surface 110 slide relative to each other, and rotates from the trigger position B to the initial position A, so that the operating member body 31 rotates toward the initial position A, and at the same time, the driving block 111 moves in a direction close to the operating member body 31, so that the self-resetting mechanism 11 is reset.

[0084] Of course, in other examples, the operating member 3 may also have only one trigger position B, and the self-resetting mechanism 11 includes a driving block 111 .

[0085] In some examples, such as Figure 6As shown, the driving rib 32 includes a first driving portion 321 and a second driving portion 322, and the operating member body 31, the first driving portion 321 and the second driving portion 322 are connected in sequence. The width of the second driving portion 322 is less than or equal to the minimum distance between the two driving blocks 111, so as to avoid the second driving portion 322 pressing the self-resetting mechanism 11 when the operating member body 31 is in the initial position A. The width of the first driving portion 321 is greater than the width of the second driving portion 322, so as to strengthen the strength of the driving rib 32 and avoid the driving rib 32 from breaking when squeezing the driving block 111. In addition, the height of the top surface of the second driving portion 322 (or the bottom surface of the first driving portion 321) is greater than the height of the driving block 111, so as to avoid the first driving portion 321 pressing the two driving blocks 111 when the driving rib 32 is in the initial position A.

[0086] In some examples, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a first limiting rib 33, and the panel 2 includes a second limiting rib 21 on the side facing the operating member 3. The first limiting rib 33 and the second limiting rib 21 are both arc-shaped, and one of the first limiting rib 33 and the second limiting rib 21 is encircled by the other to achieve the rotational connection between the operating member 3 and the panel 2. The side wall of one of the first limiting rib 33 and the second limiting rib 21 has a first buckle 331, and the side wall of the other has a first slot 211, and the first buckle 331 extends into the first slot 211 to prevent the operating member 3 from detaching from the panel 2. In addition, the size of the first slot 211 along the rotation direction is greater than the size of the first buckle 331 along the rotation direction to provide a rotation space for the first buckle 331.

[0087] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first limiting rib 33 surrounds the second limiting rib 21. Figure 6 As shown, the inner side of the first limiting rib 33 has a first buckle 331. Figure 7 As shown, the outer side surface of the second limiting rib 21 has a first clamping groove 211. When the operating member body 31 rotates, the first clamping buckle 331 rotates circumferentially in the first clamping groove 211. In order to ensure that the first clamping buckle 331 can slide smoothly in the first limiting rib 33, the thickness of the first clamping groove 221 is usually set to be greater than the thickness of the first clamping buckle 331.

[0088] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the operating member 3 includes two first limiting ribs 33, which are symmetrically arranged in the circumferential direction, and each first limiting rib 33 has a first buckle 331 on its inner side. Correspondingly, the second limiting rib 21 of the panel 2 may have two first clamping grooves 211, and the two first clamping grooves 211 are symmetrically arranged in the circumferential direction. In this way, the force between the operating member 3 and the panel 2 can be made more uniform, so that the operating member 3 is more stable when rotating.

[0089] Of course, in some other examples, the outer side of the second limiting rib 21 may have a first buckle 331 , and the inner side surface of the first limiting rib 33 may have a first locking groove 211 .

[0090] In some examples, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting rib 21 is in the shape of a circular ring, that is, in the shape of a closed arc.

[0091] Some examples include Figure 7 As shown, the reset switch also includes a tension spring 5, which abuts against the panel 2 and the operating member body 31 respectively and is in a compressed state. The tension spring 5 applies pressure in opposite directions to the panel 2 and the operating member body 31 respectively. Under the action of the tension spring 5, the side wall of the first clip 331 can be ensured to abut against the side wall of the first slot 211. In this way, even if the thickness of the first slot 211 is greater than the thickness of the first clip 331, the operating member 3 can be prevented from shaking in the thickness direction of the first slot 211.

[0092] Among them, exemplary ones are Figure 7 As shown, the panel 2 has an annular limiting rib 29 on one side facing the operating member 3 . The annular limiting rib 29 is located on the inner side of the second limiting rib 21 , and the tensioning spring 5 is encircled by the annular limiting rib 29 .

[0093] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the operating member body 31 includes a receiving cavity 310, and the opening of the receiving cavity 310 faces the panel 2. The first limiting rib 33, the second limiting rib 21, the annular limiting rib 29 and the tightening spring 5 are all located in the receiving cavity 310. Thus, the first limiting rib 33, the second limiting rib 21, the annular limiting rib 29 and the tightening spring 5 are prevented from being exposed, and foreign matter is prevented from entering the interior of the operating member body 31.

[0094] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the panel 2 includes a recessed groove 22 on one side facing the operating member body 31, and a portion of the operating member body 31 extends into the recessed groove 22. In this way, under the force of the tension spring 5, the gap between the operating member body 31 and the bottom of the recessed groove 22 will not be exposed, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the gap.

[0095] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the panel 2 includes a limiting groove 23 on one side facing the operating member body 31. The limiting groove 23 extends along the rotation direction, and the elastic reset member 4 is limited in the limiting groove 23. Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a first retaining rib 34, which is fixed to the side of the operating member body 31 facing the panel 2, and the first retaining rib 34 abuts against one end of the elastic reset member 4, and when the operating member 3 rotates from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the first retaining rib 34 compresses the elastic reset member 4. The width of the limiting groove 23 is greater than the width of the first retaining rib 34, and the first retaining rib 34 can slide in the limiting groove 23. Since the diameter of the elastic reset member 4 is greater than the width of the second groove body 2302, when the first retaining rib 34 rotates, the other end of the elastic reset member 4 abuts against the step structure 2303, so that the elastic reset member 4 is compressed between the first retaining rib 34 and the step structure 2303. When the user no longer applies a rotational force to the operating member 3, the first retaining rib 34 will rotate in a direction away from the step structure 2303 under the elastic force of the elastic reset member 4, so that the operating member 3 rotates from the trigger position B to the initial position A. At the same time, the driving rib 32 of the operating member 3 slides relative to the inclined surface 110 of the driving block 111 , moving from the top of the inclined surface 110 to the bottom of the inclined surface 110 , so that the driving block 111 moves in a direction close to the operating member body 31 .

[0096] Exemplarily, the elastic return member 4 may be a spring.

[0097] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the panel 2 has a third limiting rib 231 and a fourth limiting rib 232 on one side facing the operating member body 31. The third limiting rib 231 and the fourth limiting rib 232 are both arc-shaped, and the third limiting rib 231 is located on the inner side of the fourth limiting rib 232, thereby forming a limiting groove 23. The limiting groove 23 includes a first groove body 2301 and a second groove body 2302. The width of the first groove body 2301 is greater than the width of the second groove body 2302, and a step structure 2303 is formed at the connection between the first groove body 2301 and the second groove body 2302. The elastic reset member 4 is located in the first groove body 2301, and the diameter of the elastic reset member 4 is greater than the width of the second groove body 2302.

[0098] In some examples, the operating member 3 has two trigger positions B, which are located on both sides of the initial position A, and both ends of the elastic reset member 4 abut against the first retaining rib 34. Figure 8 As shown, the limiting groove 23 includes a first groove body 2301 and two second groove bodies 2302, the first groove body 2301 is located between the two second groove bodies 2302, and both ends of the first groove body 2301 form a step structure 2303 with the second groove bodies 2302. When the operating member 3 rotates from the initial position A to a trigger position B, a first retaining rib 34 and a step structure 2303 compress the elastic return member 4. When the operating member body 31 rotates from the initial position A to another trigger position B, another first retaining rib 34 and another step structure 2303 compress the elastic return member 4.

[0099] In some examples, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the panel 2 includes two limit grooves 23 on one side facing the operating part body 31. The reset switch includes two elastic reset members 4, and the two elastic reset members 4 are respectively located in a limit groove 23. The two first limit grooves 23 can be symmetrically distributed in the circumferential direction. When the operating part 3 rotates from an initial position A to a trigger position B, the two elastic reset members 4 are compressed. When the user no longer applies a rotational force to the operating part body 31, the two elastic reset members 4 will rebound and cause the two first retaining ribs 34 to rotate, thereby resetting the operating part body 31. In this way, the operating part body 31 can be subjected to a more uniform force, thereby avoiding jamming when the operating part body 31 is reset. In addition, the two elastic reset members 4 can both apply a large rebound force to the operating part body 31, thereby quickly resetting the operating part body 31.

[0100] When the operating member body 31 has one trigger position B, the operating member 3 includes two first blocking ribs 34 ; when the operating member body 31 has two trigger positions B, the operating member 3 includes four first blocking ribs 34 .

[0101] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a lever 35, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the operating member body 31. When the operating member body 31 is rotated, the lever 35 can be moved so that the lever 35 drives the operating member body 31 to rotate, thereby causing the driving rib 32 to press the self-resetting mechanism 11. In addition, the provision of the lever 35 can also facilitate the user to observe the rotation angle of the operating member body 31 and whether the operating member body 31 is reset.

[0102] In some examples, when the operating member body 31 is located at the initial position A, the symmetry axis of the lever 35 coincides with the symmetry axis of the panel 2. The symmetry axis of the lever 35 may coincide with the symmetry axis of the panel 2 in the horizontal direction or in the vertical direction.

[0103] The working process of the rotary reset switch is exemplarily described below.

[0104] When the user needs to turn on the switch, first turn the lever 35 clockwise or counterclockwise. The first retaining rib 34 squeezes the elastic reset member 4, and at the same time, the driving rib 32 slides from the bottom end of the inclined surface 110 of the driving block 111 to the top end, thereby pressing the driving block 111, so that the self-resetting mechanism 11 presses the on-off mechanism 12, and the on-off mechanism 12 is energized. Then, the user releases the lever 35, so that the elastic reset member 4 rebounds and pushes the first retaining rib 34 to reset. Driven by the first retaining rib 34, the driving rib 32 rotates to the initial position A, and slides from the top end to the bottom end of the inclined surface 110 of the driving block 111, so that the operating member 3 rotates to the initial position A. At the same time, the self-resetting mechanism 11 moves in the direction close to the panel 2, so that the self-resetting mechanism 11 is reset.

[0105] When the user needs to turn off the switch, the user moves the lever 35 clockwise or counterclockwise again, so that the driving rib 32 presses the driving block 111 again, so that the self-resetting mechanism 11 presses the on-off mechanism 12, thereby turning off the switch. After turning off the switch, the user releases the lever 35, so that the operating member 3 rotates to the initial position A.

[0106] (2) Figure 9-11 As shown, the operating member 3 is a sliding member, and the reset switch is a sliding reset switch.

[0107] In some examples, such as Fig.13 As shown, the driving rib 32 is a strip-shaped protruding structure inside the operating member body 31. Fig.14 As shown, the self-resetting mechanism 11 includes two driving blocks 111, there is a distance between the two driving blocks 111, and they are symmetrically distributed about the symmetry axis of the operating member 3, and the distance between the two driving blocks 111 is less than the width of the driving rib 32. Fig.12 As shown, when the operating member 3 slides from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the bottom of the driving rib 32 always abuts against the inclined surfaces 110 of the two driving blocks 111. Providing two driving blocks 111 can make the driving rib 32 more stable when sliding, and prevent the driving rib 32 from tilting or deflecting.

[0108] In some examples, Fig.13 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a slide bar 36 , which is fixed to a side of the operating member body 31 facing the panel 2 , the extending direction of the slide bar 36 is parallel to the sliding direction, and the side wall of the slide bar 36 includes a second buckle 361 .

[0109] like Fig.14 As shown, the panel 2 includes a sliding hole 24, which passes through the panel 2, and the extending direction of the sliding hole 24 is parallel to the sliding direction. The sliding bar 36 passes through the sliding hole 24, and the second buckle 361 is clamped on the side of the panel 2 facing away from the operating member body 31. The length of the sliding hole 24 is greater than the length of the sliding bar 36 and the second buckle 361, so that the sliding bar 36 can slide in the sliding hole 24.

[0110] The side of the second buckle 361 facing away from the slide bar 36 is an inclined surface, and the distance between the inclined surface and the side wall of the slide bar 36 gradually decreases in the direction away from the operating member body 31. When the operating member 3 is assembled, the inclined surface of the second buckle 361 abuts against the side wall of the slide hole 24, so that the second buckle 361 passes over the slide hole 24 and is finally located on the side of the panel 2 away from the operating member body 31, thereby completing the limiting of the operating member 3.

[0111] For example, Fig.13 As shown, the operating member 3 includes four slide bars 36, and the four slide bars 36 are symmetrically distributed in two rows and two columns. Fig.14 As shown, the panel 2 includes four sliding holes 24, and each slide bar 36 is located in one of the sliding holes 24. In this way, the operating member body 31 can be subjected to a more uniform force when sliding, and the operating member 3 can be prevented from being stuck when sliding. In addition, the connection strength between the panel 2 and the operating member 3 can be enhanced, and even if one of the second buckles 361 is damaged, the operating member 3 will not be separated from the panel 2.

[0112] In some examples, such as Fig.14 As shown, the panel 2 further includes a first slide groove 25 on one side facing the operating member body 31. The first slide groove 25 extends along the sliding direction, and the elastic reset member 4 is limited in the first slide groove 25. Fig.15 As shown, one end of the inner wall of the first slide groove 25 has a protrusion 2512, and the two opposite side walls of the first slide groove 25 have protrusions 2511. One end of the elastic return member 4 is ringed around the protrusion 2512, and the other end is against the two protrusions 2511, thereby preventing the elastic return member 4 from falling off from the first slide groove 25.

[0113] like Fig.13 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a second retaining rib 37, which is located in the first sliding groove 25 and abuts against one end of the elastic reset member 4, and when the operating member body 31 slides from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the second retaining rib 37 compresses the elastic reset member 4. At the same time, the driving rib 32 and the driving block 111 slide relative to each other along the inclined surface 110, so that the driving rib 32 moves from the bottom of the inclined surface 110 to the top of the inclined surface 110, so that the driving rib 32 presses the driving block 111 in a direction away from the operating member body 31, and then the self-resetting mechanism 11 presses the on-off mechanism 12. After the user releases the operating member body 31, the elastic reset member 4 rebounds and pushes the driving rib 32 to slide in the direction of the initial position A, and at the same time, the driving block 111 slides in a direction close to the operating member body 31.

[0114] For example, Fig.15As shown, two convex blocks 2511 are provided on two opposite side walls of the first slide groove 25, and the two convex blocks 2511 are arranged opposite to each other. The two sides of the second retaining rib 37 abut against the two convex blocks 2511, thereby preventing the second retaining rib 37 from deflecting when sliding. In addition, the contact area between the convex blocks 2511 and the second retaining rib 37 is small, so the friction force generated is small, which is conducive to the sliding of the operating member body 31.

[0115] In some examples, such as Fig.14 As shown, the reset switch includes two elastic reset members 4, and the two elastic reset members 4 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the reset switch. Fig.13 As shown, the operating member 3 includes two second retaining ribs 37, and the panel 2 includes two first slide grooves 25. Each elastic reset member 4 is located in a first slide groove 25, and each second retaining rib 37 extends into a first slide groove 25. As a result, the operating member body 31 is subjected to a more uniform force when sliding, and the operating member body 31 is prevented from being stuck when sliding. At the same time, the provision of two elastic reset members 4 can increase the resilience of the operating member body 31, so that the operating member body 31 can be quickly reset.

[0116] In some examples, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a plurality of sliders 371, and the panel includes a plurality of second slide grooves 251. Along the sliding direction of the operating member 3, both sides of the first slide groove 25 have second slide grooves 251, and each slider 371 is located in a second slide groove 251, thereby enhancing the strength of the sliding connection between the operating member 3 and the panel 2, and preventing the operating member 3 from deflecting when sliding. Two opposite side walls of the second slide groove 251 also have two protrusions 2511. Both sides of the slider 371 abut against the two protrusions 2511, thereby preventing the slider 371 from deflecting when sliding.

[0117] In some examples, such as Fig.11 As shown, along the sliding direction, the panel 2 includes a convex portion 201 and a concave portion 202, and the operating member body 31 is located on the outer surface of the concave portion 202. In this way, the thickness of the reset switch can be avoided to be thick, thereby reducing the thickness of the reset switch.

[0118] In some examples, such as Fig.12 As shown, when the operating member body 31 slides from the initial position A to the trigger position B, the operating member body 31 gradually moves away from the protrusion 201. When the operating member body 31 slides from the trigger position B to the initial position A, the operating member body 31 gradually approaches the protrusion 201. In this way, it can be ensured that when the operating member body 31 is at the initial position A, there is no gap or the gap is minimal between the operating member body 31 and the protrusion 201, reducing the possibility of dust or foreign matter entering the interior of the reset switch.

[0119] In some examples, such as Fig. 9 As shown, when the operating member 3 is in the initial position, the operating member body 31 abuts against the convex portion 201. In this way, a gap between the operating member body 31 and the side wall of the convex portion 201 can be avoided, thereby preventing dust or foreign matter from entering the interior of the reset switch.

[0120] In some examples, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the outer surface of the operating member body 31 is flush with the outer surface of the protrusion 201, so that the reset switch is more beautiful as a whole.

[0121] In some examples, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the operating member 3 further includes a shifting block 38, which is fixed to the outer surface of the operating member body 31 and protrudes relative to the outer surface of the operating member body 31. When the user needs to slide the operating member body 31, he only needs to shift the shifting block 38.

[0122] In some examples, such as Fig.14 As shown, the side of the concave portion 202 of the panel 2 facing the operating member body 31 has two first grooves 27 and a second groove 28, and the second groove 28 is located between the first grooves 27, thereby forming a U-shaped groove. The two first grooves 27 are respectively located at the edges of the two sides of the concave portion 202, and the second groove 28 is located at the edge of the concave portion 202 away from the convex portion 201. Fig.13 As shown, the operating member 3 has two first bosses 39 and a second boss 40 on the side facing the panel 2. The two first bosses 39 are respectively located in the first groove 27, and the second boss 40 is located in the second groove 28. The length of the first groove 27 is greater than the length of the first boss 39, and the width of the second groove 28 is greater than the width of the second boss 40, so that the first boss 39 can slide in the first groove 27, and the second boss 40 can slide in the second groove 28. Thus, the strength of the sliding connection between the operating member body 31 and the panel 2 is enhanced.

[0123] The working process of the sliding reset switch is exemplarily described below.

[0124] When the user needs to turn on the switch, first move the shift block 38 in a direction away from the convex portion 201. The second retaining rib 37 squeezes the elastic reset member 4, and at the same time, the driving rib 32 slides from the bottom end of the inclined surface 110 of the driving block 111 to the top end, thereby pressing the driving block 111, and causing the self-resetting mechanism 11 to press the on-off mechanism 12, so that the on-off mechanism 12 is energized. Then, the user releases the shift block 38, causing the elastic reset member 4 to rebound and push the second retaining rib 37. Driven by the second retaining rib 37, the operating member 3 slides to the initial position A. At the same time, the self-resetting mechanism 11 moves in a direction close to the panel 2, so that the self-resetting mechanism 11 is reset.

[0125] When the user needs to turn off the switch, the user turns the dial block 38 again, and the on-off mechanism 12 is powered off.

[0126] The implementation of the switch assembly 1 is exemplarily described below.

[0127] In some examples, such as Fig.17 As shown, the self-resetting mechanism 11 also includes a first driving rod 112 and a second driving rod 113, and the first driving rod 112 and the second driving rod 113 are fixed to the side of the self-resetting mechanism 11 away from the driving block 111. Correspondingly, the on-off mechanism 12 has a first pressing block 123 and a second pressing block 124 on the side facing the self-resetting mechanism 11. When the self-resetting mechanism 11 is pressed, the self-resetting mechanism 11 is driven to move in a direction away from the panel 2 until the first driving rod 112 and the first pressing block 123 are against each other. After the first driving rod 112 presses the first pressing block 123, the on-off mechanism 12 will swing in the direction of the first pressing block 123. Then the second driving rod 113 is opposite to the second pressing block 124, and the first driving rod 112 and the first pressing block 123 are staggered, so that the on-off mechanism 12 is in a power-on state. When the self-resetting mechanism 11 is reset, the on-off mechanism 12 remains in this position, that is, the on-off mechanism 12 remains in a power-on state.

[0128] When the self-resetting mechanism 11 is pressed again, the self-resetting mechanism 11 drives the second driving rod 113 to press the second pressing block 124, so that the switching mechanism 12 swings in the direction of the second pressing block 124. Then the second driving rod 113 and the second pressing block 124 are staggered, and the first driving rod 112 and the first pressing block 123 are opposite, so that the switching mechanism 12 is in the power-off state. After the self-resetting mechanism 11 is reset, the switching mechanism 12 remains in this position, that is, the switching mechanism 12 remains in the power-off state.

[0129] The specific implementation method of powering on and off the on-off mechanism 12 may refer to the implementation method of the on-off mechanism in the push-type reset switch in the related art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0130] In some examples, such as Figure 3 , Fig. 9 , Fig.16 and Fig.18 As shown, the on-off mechanism 12 includes an indicator portion 121. When the on-off mechanism 12 is in two different states, the indicator portion 121 is in two different positions. The panel 2 also includes an indicator hole 26. When the indicator portion 121 is in one of the two different positions, the indicator portion 121 is opposite to the indicator hole 26. When the indicator portion 121 is in the other position, the indicator portion 121 is staggered from the indicator hole 26.

[0131] Exemplarily, when the indicator portion 121 is opposite to the indicator hole 26, it indicates that the switch mechanism 12 is in a powered-on state. When the indicator portion 121 is offset from the indicator hole 26, it indicates that the switch mechanism 12 is in a powered-off state.

[0132] In some examples, such as Fig.16 and Fig.18 As shown, the switch assembly 1 further comprises a housing 10, the switch mechanism 12 comprises a swing rod 122, the swing rod 122 comprises a convex strip 1221, the convex strip 1221 penetrates the housing 10 and extends toward the panel 2. The surface of the convex strip 1221 facing the panel 2 forms an indication portion 121.

[0133] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
