DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation mode, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 7As shown in the figure: This embodiment provides a switch that is easy to maintain, including: a housing 200 and a light guide member 100. A lamp sheet accommodating cavity is formed on the housing 200, and the light guide member 100 is inserted into the lamp sheet accommodating cavity. The light guide member 100 includes a body 10, a label slot 11, and a warning lamp card slot 12. The label slot 11 is located at the center of the body 10, and the warning lamp card slot 12 corresponds to the position of a warning lamp installed in the housing 200. The warning lamp card slot 12 is made of a light guide material. A slot 14 is formed at the front end of the body 10, and the slot 14 is in interference fit with a cross-shaped nail 22 placed in the housing 200 to limit the displacement of the light guide member 100 in the vertical direction. A guide rail 21 is installed in the housing 200, and the light guide member 100 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21. The length of the guide rail 21 is not greater than the distance from the opening of the lamp sheet accommodating cavity to the cross-shaped nail 22. This can prevent excessive force during insertion from causing an impact between the light guide member 100 and the cross-shaped nail 22, resulting in deformation of the light guide sheet. The guide rail 21 can be fixed in the housing 200 through a guide rail bracket, and the guide rail bracket can be connected and fixed to the housing 200 by means such as screw fixation. The sliding of the light guide member 100 on the guide rail can reduce the resistance entering the housing 200 and avoid damage caused by shaking.

[0029] In the present invention, the entire light guide member 100 is made of a light guide material, which can export the light emitted by the LED warning lamp, so that a strip-shaped warning lamp is emitted on the end face outside the lamp sheet accommodating cavity, that is, where the interface is located. The dot-shaped warning lamp is changed into a strip-shaped warning lamp, increasing the area of the warning lamp, facilitating observation by the staff, and not being blocked by data lines and optical fibers. The light guide member 100 is made into a sheet-like structure, changing the original warning lamp, which is a dot light source and not easy to observe, increasing the area of the warning lamp, and facilitating maintenance personnel to see the warning lamp through the obstruction of data lines and optical fibers. A limiting block or other structure can be set inside the label slot 11 to fix the optical path diagram, or the optical path diagram can be placed in a packaging box, and then the packaging box is fixed to the label slot 11 by bonding. By using the above fixing method, the optical path diagram can be prevented from sliding out of the label slot 11 and the optical path diagram can also be prevented from being contaminated.

[0030] The warning lamp card slot 12 and the body 10 of the light guide member 100 can be processed by an integral molding process or assembled by means such as bonding. If integral molding is used, it can be prepared by injection molding or other processes. In the present invention, no special limitation is made on the connection method between the two. The light guide member 100 can be made of acrylic, polycarbonate, PVC, TPU, etc.

[0031] The optimal position for opening the lamp sheet accommodating cavity is directly below the interface surface of the interactive machine housing, which does not affect the normal operation of each interface of the interactive machine. At the same time, it can also avoid the occlusion of the end face of the light guide sheet by the data line and the optical fiber as much as possible. For the present invention, there can be multiple lamp sheet accommodating cavities, and one light guide sheet is installed in each lamp sheet accommodating cavity. Different light guide sheets can correspond to different warning types. Maintenance personnel can determine the fault type of the switch by seeing which warning lamp is flashing.

[0032] Further, as Figure 7 shown, the warning lamp slot 12 includes a positioning hole 121, the positioning hole 121 is in interference fit with the warning lamp, a guiding inlet 122 is formed in front of the positioning hole 121, and the width of the guiding inlet 122 is greater than the width of the positioning hole 121. The structure of the cooperation between the guiding inlet 122 and the positioning hole 121 facilitates the installation of the warning lamp into the positioning hole 121, so that the warning lamp slot 12 can be aligned with the warning lamp.

[0033] In the present invention, the entire warning lamp slot 12 is integrally U-shaped. When the LED warning lamp is installed in place on the light guide sheet, it is exactly clamped at the bottom of the U-shape. In order to facilitate the LED warning lamp to enter the warning lamp slot 12, two retaining edges are added at the ends of the U-shape. The retaining edges are inclined outward at a certain angle with the two ends of the U-shape, so that the warning lamp can enter the bottom of the U-shape more conveniently under the guidance of the retaining edges for installation. The retaining piece can be made of a flexible material, and the U-shaped part is made of a rigid material. Using a flexible material for the retaining piece can enable the light guide sheet to enter the slot better.

[0034] To facilitate the insertion and extraction of the light guide sheet from the housing 200, a handle 15 is formed on the body 10. When the light guide member 100 is inserted into the housing 200, the handle 15 can protrude beyond the surface of the housing 200, which is convenient for the staff to perform the insertion and extraction operations. The handle 15 can adopt a design with a groove, that is, a groove is formed on the back of the handle 15 to facilitate the staff's finger to be inserted into the groove for the extraction operation.

[0035] In order to facilitate the staff to reset and other faults, the aforementioned light guide can be further improved. A card pin slot 13 is formed on both sides of the body 10, and the card pin slot 13 has a card pin 16 for resetting. The slot 14 is on the same straight line as the warning light slot 12. In the present invention, the number of the slot 14 and the warning light slot 12 is 1-3. Multiple warning light slots 12 can improve the brightness of the light guide, making it easier for the staff to see which switch has a fault. A protrusion 131 is formed in the card pin slot 13, and the protrusion 131 is interference fit with the groove on the card pin 16. This design can make it easier to fix the card pin 16 in the card pin slot 13. A limiting portion 132 is formed in the card pin slot 13, and the limiting portion 132 is used to limit the movement of the card pin.

[0036] When in use, the first step is to rotate the card pin so that the card pin contacts the limiting portion 132, and then continue to rotate the card pin toward the bottom of the card pin slot 13 until the card pin is engaged with the protrusion 131, completing the operation of inserting the card pin into the card pin slot 13; the second step is to place the light path diagram into the label slot 11 and fix the light path diagram; the third step is to install the light guide 100 on the guide rail 21 and move it into the light sheet accommodating cavity until the slot 14 contacts and is engaged with the I-shaped nail 22, completing the installation of the light guide 100. Finally, start the switch to work.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
