Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a tilt switch installation structure and an appliance. Background Art

[0002] Electrical appliances, such as desktop heaters, are generally equipped with a tipping switch, which can cut off the circuit of the appliance when it tips over, thereby avoiding potential risks.

[0003] However, in the related art, the tip switch is generally fixed to the main body of the appliance by means of screws or other connection methods. However, this fixing method not only has low installation efficiency, but the connection between the tip switch and the main body of the appliance is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, thereby affecting the normal function of the tip switch and may even cause safety risks. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a tilt switch installation structure and an electrical appliance to solve the problem in the related art that the fixing method of the tilt switch is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, which easily affects the normal function of the tilt switch, thereby improving the safety of the electrical appliance.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dump switch installation structure, comprising:

[0006] The electrical housing has a limiting hole formed at the bottom thereof;

[0007] The mounting piece is arranged in the housing of the electrical appliance and is used to be connected with the housing of the electrical appliance. A limiting structure is arranged on the mounting piece. The limiting structure includes a plurality of side walls. The plurality of side walls can enclose a limiting space and an assembly opening. The assembly opening can allow the tipping switch to enter the limiting space. The plurality of side walls can abut against the tipping switch. The telescopic piece of the tipping switch can pass through the limiting hole to prevent the tipping switch from leaving the limiting space.

[0008] Beneficial effect: During use of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the tilt switch can first be placed into the limit space through the assembly opening, the limit structure is sleeved on the tilt switch, and the tilt switch is limited by means of a number of side walls to ensure that the tilt switch moves relative to the limit structure through the assembly opening to leave the limit space.

[0009] Then the operator can press the telescopic part of the tipping switch with his hand and put the mounting part into the electrical housing until the telescopic part of the tipping switch is aligned with the limiting hole on the mounting part. The telescopic part can extend and insert into the limiting hole through its own elastic restoring force. The cooperation between the limiting hole and the telescopic part prevents the tipping switch from escaping from the limiting space through the assembly port, thereby reliably limiting the tipping switch on the electrical housing.

[0010] When the appliance is placed normally, the weight of the appliance can press the telescopic part of the tipping switch, thereby connecting the entire circuit of the appliance. When the appliance tips over, the telescopic part of the tipping switch can pop out under the action of its own elastic restoring force and cut off the entire circuit of the appliance.

[0011] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application limits the tilt switch by cooperating with the original limiting hole on the electrical switch through the limiting space. Even if the electrical appliance expands or contracts or shakes during use, the tilt switch will not become loose or displaced.

[0012] Furthermore, during the installation process of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application, the operator only needs to insert the tilt switch into the limit space and then install the installation part into the electrical housing to complete the installation of the tilt switch, which greatly simplifies the installation steps of the tilt switch and shortens the installation time of the tilt switch.

[0013] In addition, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application does not require the use of screws during the installation process, so there is no need to reserve space for the screwdriver to extend into, thereby avoiding the impact on the assembly of the tilt switch due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0014] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the problem that the fixing method of the tilt switch in the related art is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, which can easily affect the normal function of the tilt switch. It can improve the safety of the electrical appliance, simplify the installation process of the tilt switch, and avoid affecting the assembly of the tilt switch due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0015] In addition, the above-mentioned dump switch installation structure has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is safe and reliable to use, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of side walls include a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, and a connecting wall connecting the top wall, the bottom wall, and the front wall, and the assembly opening is arranged opposite to the connecting wall.

[0017] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the top wall, bottom wall, front wall and connecting wall can form a semi-enclosed structure together with the body of the mounting piece. The semi-enclosed structure can be mounted on the tipping switch and limit the five degrees of freedom of the tipping switch.

[0018] When the tipping switch is installed in the limiting structure through the assembly opening, the telescopic member of the tipping switch can face the limiting hole so that the telescopic member matches the limiting hole, thereby limiting the tipping switch.

[0019] In addition, when the limiting structure is provided, a limiting space can be formed on the mounting member without the thickness of the mounting member being set thicker, thereby making the structure of the electrical appliance more compact.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, an abutment surface is formed between the telescopic member and the electrical housing of the limiting hole, and the telescopic member can abut against the electrical housing through the abutment surface and press the body of the tipping switch tightly against the top wall of the limiting structure.

[0021] Beneficial effect: Through such a setting, the telescopic part cooperates with the limit hole but can prevent the dump switch from escaping through the assembly opening of the limit structure. It can also press the body of the dump switch tightly against the top wall of the limit structure, thereby improving the reliability of the limit structure on the dump switch and avoiding loosening or displacement of the dump switch due to factors such as vibration or temperature changes.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, an avoidance groove is provided on the bottom wall of the limiting structure facing the limiting hole, the avoidance groove is communicated with the assembly opening, and the dump switch can pass through the assembly opening and the avoidance groove in sequence.

[0023] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the groove wall of the avoidance groove can also cooperate with the telescopic part of the tipping switch, thereby playing a certain limiting role on the tipping switch.

[0024] In addition, the provision of the avoidance groove allows the dimension of the limiting structure along the axial direction of the assembly opening to be set larger, so as to enhance the limiting effect of the limiting structure on the tipping switch.

[0025] In an optional implementation, a clearance opening is formed on the connecting wall of the limiting structure, and the clearance opening is used for allowing the conductive sheet on one side of the tipping switch to pass through.

[0026] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the avoidance opening can allow the conductive sheet to pass through, and the conductive sheet can be limited to a certain extent by means of the side wall of the avoidance opening.

[0027] The tipping switch can be electrically connected to the electronic components inside the appliance through the conductive sheet. Therefore, the tipping switch mounting structure of the embodiment of the present application can reliably limit the tipping switch without affecting the electrical connection between the tipping switch and the electronic components inside the appliance.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the dump switch mounting structure further includes:

[0029] The guide structure is arranged between the mounting piece and the electrical housing. The mounting piece is slidably connected to the electrical housing through the guide structure. The mounting piece has a locking position relative to the guide structure. When the mounting piece is in the locking position, the telescopic piece of the tipping switch can pass through the limit hole.

[0030] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the guide structure can constrain the movement path of the mounting member, ensure that the mounting member can accurately move to the locking position, and reliably install the tipping switch in the electrical housing.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, a mounting groove is formed on the housing of the electrical appliance, and the guide structure extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove.

[0032] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, when the operator places the mounting piece into the mounting groove along the guide structure, the telescopic piece of the tipping switch can be extended and limit the tipping switch on the electrical housing, and the mounting piece can be installed in the mounting groove.

[0033] Therefore, the operator can simultaneously complete the operation of installing the mounting member in the mounting groove and the operation of limiting the tipping switch in the electrical appliance housing, thereby further simplifying the installation process of the electrical appliance.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure includes:

[0035] The first guide wall and the second guide wall are spaced apart along the axial direction of the assembly opening. The telescopic member of the tipping switch can be disposed between the first guide wall and the second guide wall and slidably connected with the first guide wall and the second guide wall.

[0036] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the telescopic part of the tipping switch can not only be used to cooperate with the original limit hole on the electrical housing to limit the telescopic part, but can also be used to slide with the first guide wall and the second guide wall to guide the mounting part. The telescopic part has various functions, thereby reducing the number of parts required for the tipping switch mounting structure and making the structure of the tipping switch mounting structure more compact.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member is a heating element bracket.

[0038] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can use the original heating element bracket in the desktop heater as a mounting part to complete the installation operation of the tilt switch. The heating element bracket has various functions and can reduce the number of parts required for the tilt switch installation structure, so that the structure of the tilt switch installation structure is more compact, which helps to reduce the consumption of materials and labor costs of the tilt switch installation structure.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure is greater than or equal to 280 degrees Celsius.

[0040] Beneficial effect: When the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure is within the above range, it can ensure that the limiting structure can limit the tipping switch reliably, avoid deformation of the limiting structure due to the influence of the external environment, and ensure that the limiting structure can adapt to the mechanical and thermal stresses in various working environments.

[0041] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides an electrical appliance, comprising:

[0042] The first aspect of the present invention provides a tilt switch installation structure;

[0043] The tipping switch is arranged in the tipping switch mounting structure.

[0044] Beneficial effect: The electrical appliance of the second aspect of the present invention includes or uses the tilt switch installation structure of the first aspect of the present invention, and thus has its beneficial effect, namely, it can overcome the problem that the fixing method of the tilt switch in the related art is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, which can easily affect the normal function of the tilt switch, can improve the safety of the electrical appliance, and can simplify the installation process of the tilt switch, and avoid affecting the assembly of the tilt switch due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0045] In addition, the electrical appliance has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is safe and reliable to use, making it easy to implement, promote, and apply. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] Combine the following Figures 1 to 7 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a tilt switch installation structure is provided, including an electrical appliance housing 1 and a mounting member 2.

[0063] A limiting hole 101 is formed at the bottom of the electrical housing 1. The mounting member 2 is arranged in the electrical housing 1 and is used to be connected with the electrical housing 1. The mounting member 2 is provided with a limiting structure 201, which includes a plurality of side walls, which can enclose a limiting space and an assembly opening 2011. The assembly opening 2011 can allow the tipping switch 4 to enter the limiting space, and the plurality of side walls can abut against the tipping switch 4. The telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can pass through the limiting hole 101 to prevent the tipping switch 4 from leaving the limiting space.

[0064] During use of the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present invention, the tilt switch 4 can first be placed into the limit space through the assembly opening 2011, and the limit structure 201 is mounted on the tilt switch 4, and the tilt switch 4 is limited by means of a number of side walls to ensure that the tilt switch 4 moves relative to the limit structure 201 through the assembly opening 2011 to leave the limit space.

[0065] Then the operator can press the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 with his hand and put the mounting part 2 into the electrical housing 1 until the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 is aligned with the limiting hole 101 on the mounting part 2. The telescopic part 401 can extend and insert into the limiting hole 101 through its own elastic restoring force. Therefore, the cooperation between the limiting hole 101 and the telescopic part 401 prevents the tipping switch 4 from escaping from the limiting space through the assembly port 2011, thereby reliably limiting the tipping switch 4 on the electrical housing 1.

[0066] When the electrical appliance 100 is placed normally, the weight of the electrical appliance 100 can press the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4, thereby connecting the entire circuit of the electrical appliance 100. When the electrical appliance 100 is tipped over, the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can pop out under the action of its own elastic restoring force and cut off the entire circuit of the electrical appliance 100.

[0067] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application limits the tilt switch 4 by cooperating with the original limit hole 101 on the switch of the electrical appliance 100 through the limit space. Even if the electrical appliance 100 expands or contracts or shakes during use, the tilt switch 4 will not become loose or displaced.

[0068] Furthermore, during the installation process of the tipping switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application, the operator only needs to insert the tipping switch 4 into the limit space and then install the installation component 2 into the electrical housing 1 to complete the installation of the tipping switch 4, which greatly simplifies the installation steps of the tipping switch 4 and shortens the installation time of the tipping switch 4.

[0069] In addition, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application does not require the use of screws during the installation process, so there is no need to reserve space for the screwdriver to extend into, thereby avoiding the impact on the assembly of the tilt switch 4 due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0070] Therefore, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can overcome the problem that the fixing method of the tilt switch 4 in the related art is prone to loosening or displacement due to vibration or temperature changes, which can easily affect the normal function of the tilt switch 4. It can improve the safety of the electrical appliance 100, simplify the installation process of the tilt switch 4, and avoid affecting the assembly of the tilt switch 4 due to insufficient space for screwing.

[0071] In addition, the above-mentioned dump switch installation structure has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, is safe and reliable to use, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0072] In one embodiment, the limiting space is provided at a position of the mounting member 2 close to the limiting hole 101 .

[0073] By such arrangement, it is possible to facilitate the insertion of the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 in the limiting space into the limiting hole 101 on the electrical appliance housing 1 .

[0074] In one embodiment, the side walls include a top wall 2015 , a bottom wall 2016 , a front wall 2017 , and a connecting wall 2018 connecting the top wall 2015 , the bottom wall 2016 , and the front wall 2017 , and the assembly opening 2011 is arranged opposite to the connecting wall 2018 .

[0075] By such an arrangement, the top wall 2015 , the bottom wall 2016 , the front wall 2017 and the connecting wall 2018 can together with the body of the mounting member 2 form a semi-enclosed structure, which can be mounted on the tipping switch 4 and limit the five degrees of freedom of the tipping switch 4 .

[0076] When the tipping switch 4 is installed into the limiting structure 201 through the assembly opening 2011 , the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can face the limiting hole 101 , so that the telescopic member 401 cooperates with the limiting hole 101 , thereby limiting the tipping switch 4 .

[0077] In addition, when the limiting structure 201 is provided, a limiting space can be formed on the mounting member 2 without the thickness of the mounting member 2 being set thicker, thereby making the structure of the electrical appliance 100 more compact.

[0078] As a convertible implementation method, the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting space can also be optionally set toward the front side of the electrical appliance 100, as long as it can be ensured that an angle is formed between the axial direction of the assembly opening and the axial direction of the limiting hole 101, and the telescopic part 401 can cooperate with the limiting hole 101, thereby preventing the tipping switch 4 from escaping from the limiting space.

[0079] As another alternative implementation, the limiting structure 201 may also be a limiting groove formed in a concave manner on the mounting member 2 , and the notch of the limiting groove is the assembly opening 2011 .

[0080] In one embodiment, an abutment surface is formed between the telescopic member 401 and the electrical housing 1 of the limiting hole 101, and the telescopic member 401 can abut against the electrical housing 1 through the abutment surface and press the body of the tipping switch 4 tightly against the top wall 2015 of the limiting structure 201.

[0081] Through such a configuration, the telescopic member 401 cooperates with the limiting hole 101 but can prevent the tipping switch 4 from escaping through the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201. It can also press the body of the tipping switch 4 tightly against the top wall 2015 of the limiting structure 201, thereby improving the reliability of the limiting structure 201 on the tipping switch 4 and avoiding loosening or displacement of the tipping switch 4 due to factors such as vibration or temperature changes.

[0082] In one embodiment, the telescopic member 401 includes at least two sections which are sequentially sleeved in a direction away from the main body of the tipping switch 4 and whose outer diameters gradually decrease, and a contact surface is formed between two adjacent sections.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201 is arranged toward one side of the electrical appliance 100 .

[0084] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib 2014 is connected between at least one side wall of the limiting structure 201 along the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 and the mounting member 2 .

[0085] In one embodiment, the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 and the axial direction of the limiting hole 101 are perpendicular to each other.

[0086] As a convertible implementation, the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 may also be selected to form an acute angle or an obtuse angle with the axial direction of the limiting hole 101 .

[0087] In one embodiment, a avoidance groove 2012 is provided on the bottom wall 2016 of the limiting structure 201 , and the avoidance groove 2012 is connected to the assembly opening 2011 of the limiting structure 201 , and the tipping switch 4 can pass through the assembly opening 2011 and the avoidance groove 2012 in sequence.

[0088] By such arrangement, the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 can also cooperate with the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4, thereby playing a certain limiting role on the tipping switch 4.

[0089] In addition, the setting of the avoidance groove 2012 makes it unnecessary to set the size of the limiting structure 201 along the axial direction of the assembly opening 2011 to be smaller so that the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 can pass through, allowing the size of the limiting structure 201 to be set larger to enhance the limiting effect of the limiting structure 201 on the tipping switch 4.

[0090] The reinforcing ribs 2014 can enhance the structural strength of the limiting structure 201 , thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the limiting structure 201 under the influence of the external environment, and thereby improving the reliability of the limiting of the tipping switch 4 by the tipping switch installation structure.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing rib 2014 is formed between the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 and the mounting member 2, and the reinforcing rib 2014 has an arc transition.

[0092] Through such a configuration, the reinforcing rib 2014 can not only be used to improve the structural strength of the limiting structure 201, but can also be used to cooperate with the outer periphery of the telescopic member 401, thereby increasing the contact area between the groove wall of the avoidance groove 2012 and the outer periphery of the telescopic member 401, and preventing the telescopic member 401 from being damaged when the tipping switch 4 is installed on the limiting structure 201.

[0093] As a convertible implementation, the avoidance groove 2012 is not provided on the limiting structure 201 , and the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 directly abuts against the side wall of the limiting structure 201 facing the limiting hole 101 .

[0094] In one embodiment, a clearance opening 2013 is formed on the connecting wall 2018 of the limiting structure 201 , and the clearance opening 2013 is used for the conductive sheet 402 on one side of the tipping switch 4 to pass through.

[0095] By such arrangement, the avoidance opening 2013 can allow the conductive sheet 402 to pass through, and the conductive sheet 402 can be limited to a certain extent by means of the side wall of the avoidance opening 2013 .

[0096] The tipping switch 4 can be electrically connected to the electronic components inside the electrical appliance 100 through the conductive sheet 402. Therefore, the tipping switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can reliably limit the tipping switch 4 without affecting the electrical connection between the tipping switch 4 and the electronic components inside the electrical appliance 100.

[0097] For example, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the electrical appliance 100 may be a desktop fan heater, and the tipping switch 4 may be electrically connected to electronic devices such as a heater inside the desktop fan heater through the conductive sheet 402 .

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a heater is provided on the side of the limiting structure 201 away from the assembly opening 2011, and the conductive sheets 402 are arranged in pairs and are arranged on both sides of the tipping switch 4. One conductive sheet 402 can pass through the avoidance opening 2013 and be connected to the heater through a wire, and the other conductive sheet 402 can be located outside the limiting structure 201 and be electrically connected to the electric heater through another wire.

[0099] In one embodiment, the dump switch mounting structure further includes a guide structure 3 .

[0100] The guide structure 3 is provided between the mounting member 2 and the electrical housing 1, the mounting member 2 is slidably connected to the electrical housing 1 through the guide structure 3, the mounting member 2 has a locking position relative to the guide structure 3, when the mounting member 2 is in the locking position, the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can pass through the limiting hole 101. The fixing member can fix the mounting member 2 on the electrical housing 1 when the mounting member 2 is in the locking position.

[0101] By such arrangement, the guide structure 3 can constrain the movement path of the mounting member 2 , ensuring that the mounting member 2 can accurately move to the locking position and the tipping switch 4 can be reliably installed in the electrical housing 1 .

[0102] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 102 is formed on the electrical appliance housing 1 , and the guide structure 3 extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove 102 .

[0103] By such arrangement, when the operator places the mounting member 2 into the mounting groove 102 along the guide structure 3 , the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can be extended and limit the tipping switch 4 on the electrical housing 1 , and the mounting member 2 can be installed into the mounting groove 102 .

[0104] Therefore, the operator can simultaneously complete the operation of installing the mounting member 2 in the mounting groove 102 and the operation of limiting the tipping switch 4 in the electrical appliance housing 1, thereby further simplifying the installation process of the electrical appliance 100.

[0105] As a convertible implementation, an angle is formed between the extension direction of the guide structure 3 and the depth direction of the installation groove 102 .

[0106] During the installation process, the operator can install the mounting member 2 into the mounting groove 102 , and then move the mounting member 2 along the guide structure 3 until the mounting member 2 is switched to the locked position and the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 extends out and is inserted into the limiting hole 101 .

[0107] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member 2 is connected to the electrical appliance housing 1 by riveting, clamping or bolting.

[0108] As a convertible implementation, the mounting member 2 can also be fixed on the electrical appliance housing 1 through the cooperation of the guide structure 3 and the limiting hole 101. The mounting member 2 is first limited within the extension range of the guide structure 3 through the guide structure 3, and then the mounting member 2 is prevented from sliding along the guide structure 3 through the cooperation of the telescopic member 401 and the limiting hole 101, thereby completing the limiting of the mounting member 2.

[0109] In an optional embodiment, the guide structure 3 includes a first guide wall 301 and a second guide wall 302, which are spaced apart along the depth direction of the avoidance groove 2012, and the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 can be arranged between the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302, and is slidably connected to the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302.

[0110] Through such an arrangement, the telescopic part 401 of the tipping switch 4 can not only be used to cooperate with the original limiting hole 101 on the electrical housing 1 to limit the telescopic part 401, but can also be used to slide with the first guide wall 301 and the second guide wall 302, thereby guiding the mounting part 2. The telescopic part 401 has various functions, thereby reducing the number of parts required for the tipping switch mounting structure, making the structure of the tipping switch mounting structure more compact.

[0111] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0112] As a convertible implementation, the guide structure 3 may also be a guide groove formed on the side wall of the electrical appliance housing 1, and the telescopic member 401 of the tipping switch 4 is arranged in the guide groove.

[0113] As another alternative embodiment, the guide structure 3 may also optionally include a guide rail provided on the mounting member 2 .

[0114] In an optional embodiment, the mounting member 2 is a heating member bracket, that is, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor bracket, which is a device that uses the resistance variation of the PTC material with temperature to achieve heating control.

[0115] Through such an arrangement, the tilt switch installation structure of the embodiment of the present application can use the original heating element bracket in the desktop heater as the installation part 2 to complete the installation operation of the tilt switch 4. The heating element bracket has various functions and can reduce the number of parts required for the tilt switch installation structure, so that the structure of the tilt switch installation structure is more compact, which helps to reduce the consumption of materials and labor costs of the tilt switch installation structure.

[0116] As a convertible embodiment, the mounting member 2 can also be optionally provided independently.

[0117] As another alternative implementation, when the electrical appliance 100 is selected as an electrical appliance 100 other than a desktop heater, the mounting member 2 may also be selected as other components that are fixedly installed in the electrical appliance 100 and disposed at the bottom of the electrical appliance 100 .

[0118] In an optional embodiment, the thermal deformation temperature of the limiting structure 201 is greater than or equal to 280 degrees Celsius.
