Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of switches, and in particular to a high-stability toggle structure and a wall switch. Background Art

[0002] Wall switches are electrical devices installed on the wall to control the on and off of circuits. They are commonly found in homes and offices. As people's pursuit of quality of life continues to improve, the aesthetics and operating experience of wall switches are becoming increasingly important. Based on this, small-angle push-button design is the mainstream trend in the research and development of wall switches, which can reduce the thickness of the switch and improve the aesthetics of the product.

[0003] In the related art, a small-angle wall switch includes a base, a panel, a mounting seat, a swinging member and a contact assembly, wherein the mounting seat is connected to the base, the swinging member is hinged to the mounting seat and connected to the panel, the contact assembly is arranged inside the base, and the contact assembly includes a moving contact and a stationary contact. The swinging member includes a connecting plate and a swing arm, wherein the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the panel, a slot for inserting the moving contact is arranged at the lower end of the swing arm, a spring is installed in the inner cavity of the swing arm, and the spring abuts against the moving contact.

[0004] When the small-angle wall switch is used, the panel is pressed to drive the swinging member to swing, and the thrust of the spring bending deformation drives the moving contact piece to swing, so a smaller pressing angle can be achieved. However, in actual use, if the contact points of the moving contact piece and the stationary contact piece are adhered, the thrust of the spring cannot smoothly drive the moving contact piece to swing, and the problem of not being able to switch smoothly may occur.

[0005] To this end, the Chinese patent with announcement number CN218631785U discloses a wall switch with a small-angle button, in which the inner wall of the lower end of the slot of the swing arm is convexly formed with a toggle convex head, and the two toggle convex heads are arranged symmetrically facing each other, so that the lower end of the slot is narrow, and the moving contact piece passes through the narrow mouth of the slot and extends into the slot, and the toggle convex head cooperates with the moving contact piece to push. If the moving contact piece cannot swing smoothly, the toggle convex head will force it to push, thereby compensating for the deficiency that the spring deformation force occasionally cannot push the moving contact piece to swing, ensuring that the moving contact piece is pushed to a predetermined position, and improving the stability of the switch.

[0006] However, the above patent still has the following defects: during the assembly process, the lower end of the slot is narrow, and the moving contact piece is not easy to insert, especially during the automated assembly process, the metal moving contact piece is easy to come into contact with the toggle boss when inserted into the plastic swing arm, causing the swing arm to be damaged, resulting in product scrapping and high assembly difficulty. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to ensure that the moving contact piece is reliably pushed and easy to assemble, the present application provides a high-stability toggle structure and a wall switch.

[0008] In the first aspect, the present application provides a high-stability toggle structure that adopts the following technical solution:

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to insert the swing arm into the toggle part and ensure that the toggle part is reliably pushed. If the gap is too small, it is easy to cause inconvenience in assembly; if the gap is too large, it may not be possible to push the toggle wall after the switch is pressed. This gap range is preferred and suitable for the use of various types of switches.

[0018] Optionally, the swing arm is provided with a socket for inserting the moving contact piece, and the width of the socket gradually increases in a direction approaching the moving contact piece.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the end of the elastic member is always aligned with the moving contact piece, thereby improving the stability of the elastic force of the elastic member acting on the moving contact piece, thereby improving the reliability of the moving contact piece being moved.

[0022] Optionally, a bending portion is connected between the toggle portion and the moving contact piece, and the plug-in portion, the moving contact piece, the bending portion and the toggle portion are integrally formed.

[0023] Optionally, the plug-in portion is fixedly connected to the movable contact piece, a connecting portion is connected between the two toggle portions, and the connecting portion is provided with a plug hole for the plug-in portion to pass through.

[0024] Optionally, the plug-in portion is fixedly connected between two toggle portions, and an insertion cavity for inserting the movable contact piece is formed between the two toggle portions.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the above three solutions can all be applied to the high-stability toggle structure of the present application, and the factory can choose according to actual needs.

[0026] Optionally, the cavity includes a positioning wall, a flared wall, a connecting wall and an opening wall in sequence relative to the two inner side walls in a direction close to the moving contact piece, the spacing between the two flared walls gradually increases in a direction close to the moving contact piece, and the spacing between the two opening walls gradually increases in a direction close to the moving contact piece;

[0027] The bottom wall of the cavity is connected with a shifting block, and the shifting block is used to shift the elastic member to bend in a direction away from the pressing side until it fits the corresponding flared wall.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the lower end opening of the swing arm is large, which is convenient for assembly, and on the other hand, the shift block can stably drive the elastic member to bend and deform in the cavity, ensuring the stability of the elastic member acting on the moving contact piece.

[0029] In the second aspect, the present application provides a wall switch adopting the following technical solution:

[0030] A wall switch comprises a panel, a base, a mounting frame, a static contact piece, a wiring piece and a high-stability toggle structure;

The end of the slide bar 82 away from the thrust spring 81 is conical and abuts against the inner bottom wall of the groove 91. The thrust spring 81 applies a thrust to the slide bar 82. The two inner side walls of the cavity 721 are parallel to each other, so that the thrust spring 81 is basically kept straight in the cavity 721.

[0091] When the wall switch is pressed, the swing member 7 swings, the swing arm 72 faces one of the toggle parts 9, and the slide bar 82 pushes the toggle part 9 under the action of the thrust spring 81, so that the movable contact piece 6 swings, and the corresponding contact points contact, completing the switch opening and closing. If the elastic member 8 cannot drive the movable contact piece 6 to swing, the swing arm 72 approaches the toggle wall 92, forcibly driving the toggle part 9 and the movable contact piece 6 to swing together, thereby improving the switch stability.

[0092] Compared with the first to third embodiments, the fourth embodiment has a different way of receiving the swinging force on the movable contact piece 6. The spring does not need to be positioned by the plug-in portion 10, but drives the movable contact piece 6 to swing by pushing the slide bar 82. Therefore, the fourth embodiment has the advantage that during assembly, the elastic member 8 does not need to be aligned with the plug-in portion 10, and the assembly efficiency is higher and more stable and reliable.

[0093] Embodiment five:

[0094] The only difference from the fourth embodiment is that the connection method between the toggle portion 9 and the movable contact piece 6 is different.

[0095] Reference Fig.18 A bending portion 11 is formed integrally between the toggle portion 9 and the movable contact piece 6. In the fifth embodiment of the present application, the toggle portion 9, the movable contact piece 6 and the bending portion 11 are made of metal and are manufactured by punching and bending processes. In other embodiments, the bending portion 11 can be eliminated, and the toggle portion 9 is made of plastic, ceramic or other materials, and is directly fixedly connected to the movable contact piece 6 by any method such as welding.

[0096] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
