By arranging the first lever 31 and the second lever 32 rotating coaxially, the first lever 31 and the second lever 32 overlap each other up and down near the hinge, so that when the first lever 31 moves from the static position to the operating position, the second lever 32 is also driven to move from the static position to the operating position. The end of the first lever 31 and the end of the second lever 32 are arranged front and back along the rotation axis direction. The linkage of the two levers can save the space of the levers in the toggle device body 11. Compared with the traditional arrangement of the two lever ends front and back along the rod direction, it is easier to avoid wrong pressing and the pressing is more convenient.
