Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a rocker switch, and more particularly to a waterproof rocker switch with an indicator light. Background Technology

[0002] Rocker switches are widely used in various electronic devices and industrial control systems, such as home appliances, automotive dashboards, power control panels, and outdoor lighting equipment. Users press the switch button to displace the internal mechanism, switching the circuit on or off. The operation is simple, intuitive, and provides clear feedback.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese patent CN202122034317.5 discloses a novel waterproof, illuminated rocker switch, including a switch body, a button in the middle of the switch body, an LED fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the button, pins at the bottom of the switch body with pin holes at the bottom of the pins, a pleated waterproof sleeve fitted at the connection between the top of the button and the switch body, the pleated waterproof sleeve including an outer sleeve and an inner pad, the inner wall of the outer sleeve being fixedly connected to the inner pad, sealing gaskets fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the switch body, a flexible sheet connected to the top of the sealing gasket, and the flexible sheet being connected to the surface of the button. The above structure, through the pleated waterproof sleeve, forms a waterproof structure between the button and the switch body, achieving effective waterproofing. Furthermore, the internal LED can indicate the switch status, meeting the user's needs for both waterproof and indicator functions in a rocker switch.

[0004] However, the waterproof structure of the aforementioned rocker switch has significant drawbacks that affect its overall performance. First, the exposed, pleated waterproof sleeve disrupts the switch's clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Second, during outdoor use, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes the pleated waterproof sleeve to age and become brittle, losing its elasticity; dust particles easily penetrate the pleated areas, exacerbating friction and wear, making the seals prone to damage, and drastically shortening the switch's lifespan to less than two years. Finally, during assembly, the pleated waterproof sleeve requires manual connection to both the button and the switch body, making automated production impossible, resulting in low efficiency and high costs, hindering large-scale manufacturing.

The appearance of the above words in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a switch includes a switch body and a switch button 100. The switch body comprises a base 200 and a housing 300 covering the base 200, and contains a contact assembly. The switch button 100 is pivotally connected to the upper end of the switch body and cooperates with the contact assembly to achieve the actuation of the switch.

[0045] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the contact assembly includes two sets of pin assemblies fixed on the base 200 and two moving contact bridges 410 that respectively mate with the two sets of pin assemblies. Each set of pin assemblies includes a common pin 420 and a first side pin 430 and a second side pin 440 located on its two sides respectively. The moving contact bridge 410 is supported in the middle on the upper end of the common pin 420, and has moving contacts 411 at both ends. The first side pin 430 and the second side pin 440 are respectively provided with a first stationary contact and a second stationary contact that mate with the moving contacts 411. The switch button 100 mates with the moving contact bridge 410, driving the moving contact bridge 410 to swing synchronously between the first side pin 430 and the second side pin 440, so that the two common pins 420 simultaneously contact the first side pin 430 or simultaneously contact the second side pin 440.

[0046] Specifically, a swing assembly 700 is provided between the base 200 and the housing 300. This assembly is connected between the switch button 100 and the moving contact bridge 410 and is used to transmit the action of the switch button 100 so that the moving contact bridge 410 swings accordingly.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the swing assembly 700 includes a swing member 710 and two push rods 720. The swing member 710 includes two push rod sleeves 711 spaced apart and a linkage part 712 connecting the upper ends of the two push rod sleeves 711. The lower end of the push rod sleeve 711 has an opening for the push rod 720 to extend into. The push rod 720 extends into the push rod sleeve 711, and a compression spring 730 is provided between the push rod 720 and the inner end of the push rod sleeve 711. The linkage part 712 is used to connect with the switch button 100.

[0048] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the housing 300 is provided with a first through hole 310 through which the connecting structure between the swing member 710 and the switch button 100 passes and swings. Two sets of mating push rod sleeves 711 and push rods 720 respectively cooperate with two moving contact bridges 410. Under the action of the compression spring 730, the lower end of the push rod 720 maintains abutting cooperation with the moving contact bridge 410.

[0049] The swing assembly 700 is sealed to the inner wall of the housing 300. Specifically... Figure 7 As shown, the swing member 710 is provided with a spherical sealing surface 713, and the housing 300 is provided with a sealing groove 320 inside the first through hole 310. Figure 3 As shown, the spherical sealing surface 713 and the sealing groove 320 are sealed together by an annular seal 330. The compression spring 730 exerts an upward pushing force on the swing member 710, keeping the spherical sealing surface 713 and the annular seal 330 in contact.

[0050] Based on the above sealing structure, during the swinging process of the switch button 100 driving the swing assembly 700, the spherical sealing surface 713 at the first through hole 310 maintains a close sealing fit with the annular seal 330 due to the setting of the spherical sealing surface 713, thus achieving an effective waterproof sealing effect. Figure 4 As shown, the annular seal 330 is located inside the housing 300, and only a portion of it is visible from the outside through the first through hole 310. After the switch button 100 is installed, it basically does not affect the overall appearance design of the switch. Furthermore, since the annular seal 330 is located inside the housing 300, it is less susceptible to sunlight and external dust, resulting in a longer service life.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , Figure 9 As shown, the annular seal 330 is an O-ring, and the bottom of the sealing groove 320 is a mating concave surface 321 that is adapted to and fits against the outer wall of the annular seal 330.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the linkage 712 is provided with a slot 714, such as Figure 11 As shown, the bottom of the switch button 100 is provided with a drive rod 112. The drive rod 112 passes through the first through hole 310 and is inserted into the slot 714 of the linkage part 712, forming a detachable connection structure through the plug-in engagement. The inner diameter of the first through hole 310 is larger than the outer diameter of the drive rod 112 to ensure sufficient swing space between the two and avoid interference.

[0053] As an alternative embodiment, a drive rod may be provided at the upper end of the linkage 712, and a slot may be provided at the bottom of the switch button 100. The detachable connection structure between the switch button 100 and the swing assembly 700 may also employ other connection methods known in the art, such as threaded engagement structures or snap-fit ​​structures. Alternatively, a non-detachable connection structure may be used between the two, such as bonding or welding.

[0054] A swing angle limiting structure is provided between the swing assembly 700 and the housing 300 to limit the swing range of the swing assembly 700 within the housing 300. Specifically, as follows... Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the top rod sleeve 711 is provided with a limiting mating block, and its two sides are two inclined first limiting mating surfaces 715. The two first limiting mating surfaces 715 intersect, making the upper end of the limiting mating block pointed. Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the housing 300 has a limiting groove 340 corresponding to the limiting mating block, with two inclined second limiting mating surfaces 341 on both sides. The two second limiting mating surfaces 341 intersect to make the limiting groove 340 form an isosceles triangle. Figure 10As shown, the included angle between the two second limiting mating surfaces 341 is greater than the included angle between the two first limiting mating surfaces 715, allowing the limiting mating block to swing within a certain angle range within the limiting mating groove 340. The tip of the limiting mating block formed by the intersection of the two first limiting mating surfaces 715 is rounded, and the bottom of the limiting mating groove 340 formed by the intersection of the two second limiting mating surfaces 341 is also rounded.

[0055] Preferably, a certain gap can be reserved between the tip of the limiting mating block and the bottom of the limiting mating groove 340. After long-term switching operations, the annular seal 330 may experience slight wear. The reserved gap allows the swinging member 710 to adaptively adjust and move upward under the action of the compression spring 730 to maintain a sealing fit with the annular seal 330.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the housing 300 is provided with two hinged posts 350 arranged perpendicular to the swing direction. Figure 11 As shown, the switch button 100 is provided with an arc-shaped waist-shaped hole 140 that engages with the hinge post 350. In the prior art, the hinge structure of the switch button of a rocker switch usually adopts a circular hole engaging with the hinge post, which causes the swing center of the swinging component to be located at the hinge center of the hinge structure. This structure causes the spherical sealing surface 713 to swing relative to the annular seal 330 around the hinge center of the switch button, affecting the stable fit of the sealing structure. In this embodiment, the structure of the arc-shaped waist-shaped hole 140 is adopted, which makes the swing center of the switch button 100 move downward, as close as possible to the center of the spherical sealing surface 713, thereby making the swing center of the swinging component 710 as close as possible to the center of the spherical sealing surface 713, ensuring that the spherical sealing surface 713 and the annular seal 330 maintain a sealed fit.

[0057] Furthermore, the hinged column 350 is provided with a guide slope 351 to facilitate assembly.

[0058] In addition, a light-emitting component 500 is fixed between the base 200 and the housing 300. For example... Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 As shown, the light-emitting component includes a circuit board 510 and a first indicator light 520 and a second indicator light 530 fixed on the circuit board 510. The circuit board 510 is fixed inside the switch body. The housing 300 has a first light-transmitting structure corresponding to the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530, and the switch button 100 has a second light-transmitting structure corresponding to the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530, so that the indicator lights of the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530 can be displayed.

[0059] The first and second indicator lights are used to indicate the first and second switch states, respectively. In the first switch state, the two moving contact bridges are in synchronous contact with the two first side pins; in the second switch state, the two moving contact bridges are in synchronous contact with the two second side pins. Therefore, when using the switch wiring of this embodiment, if the two moving contact bridges 410 are in synchronous contact with the two first side pins 430, the first indicator light 520 is on and the second indicator light 530 is off; if the two moving contact bridges 410 are in synchronous contact with the two second side pins 440, the second indicator light 530 is on and the first indicator light 520 is off. In use, the indicator lights are on in both switch states, making it easy for users to judge the switch state, and the indicator lights remain on at night, helping users to quickly find the switch location.

[0060] The circuit board 510 has a first contact and a second contact that are electrically connected to two common pins 420, respectively. A first unidirectional conducting electronic component 540 is provided on the first control line connecting the first contact, the first indicator light 520, and the second contact. A second unidirectional conducting electronic component 550 is provided on the second control line connecting the first contact, the second indicator light 530, and the second contact. The first and second unidirectional conducting electronic components 540 and 550 have opposite conduction directions. By reversing the power input directions of the first and second contacts, the on / off states of the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530 are controlled, respectively. Specifically, when the first and second contacts are respectively positive and negative, the first indicator light 520 is on and the second indicator light 530 is off; when the first and second contacts are respectively negative and positive, the second indicator light 530 is on and the first indicator light 520 is off.

[0061] Specifically, a first resistor 560 and a second resistor 570 are also fixed on the circuit board 510. The first indicator light 520, the second indicator light 530, the first unidirectional conducting electronic component 540, the second unidirectional conducting electronic component 550, the first resistor 560, and the second resistor 570 form an integrated module with the circuit board 510. The first contact, the second contact, the first indicator light 520, the first resistor 560, and the first unidirectional conducting electronic component 540 are connected in series to form a first control circuit for controlling the first indicator light 520; the first contact, the second contact, the second indicator light 530, the second resistor 570, and the second unidirectional conducting electronic component 550 are connected in series to form a second control circuit for controlling the second indicator light 530. To ensure that the power input directions of the first and second contacts are opposite—that is, in the two states of the control switch, the positive and negative terminals of the two common pins 420 are connected in opposite directions—the positive and negative wiring of the two first side pins 430 of the two sets of pin assemblies is opposite to the positive and negative wiring of the two second side pins 440. Specifically, those skilled in the art will understand that the first unidirectional conducting electronic component 540 and the second unidirectional conducting electronic component 550 refer to electronic devices that only allow current to flow in one specific direction, and exhibit high resistance and almost block current in the reverse direction. Electronic devices such as diodes and unidirectional thyristors can be used.

[0062] The first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530 are respectively set on both sides of the swing of the switch button 100, so that the user can easily judge the position of the two switch states of the switch button 100.

[0063] Furthermore, the base 200 is provided with a partition 210, two sets of pin assemblies are respectively fixed on both sides of the partition 210, two sets of moving contact bridges 410 are also respectively located on both sides of the partition 210, the circuit board 510 is fixed above the partition 210, the swing assembly 700 is provided with a clearance groove, and the circuit board 510 and the partition 210 are located in the clearance groove. As an alternative embodiment, a structure for fixing the circuit board 510 can also be provided on the inner wall of the housing 300. Relatively speaking, fixing it through the base 200 is convenient for assembly, especially for automated production assembly.

[0064] like Figure 12 As shown, the common terminal pin 420 has an integrally formed upwardly extending indicator light pin 421 near the partition 210. The first and second contacts of the circuit board 510 correspond to the positions of the two indicator light pins 421. The two indicator light pins 421 are electrically connected to the first and second contacts of the circuit board 510 through plugging and / or soldering. Alternatively, wires can be used for electrical connection. However, connecting the indicator light pins 421 integrally with the common terminal pin 420 is easier to assemble. Figure 3As shown, the first light-transmitting structure on the housing 300 includes a first through hole disposed on the upper sidewall of the housing 300 and a light guide post 600 fixed within the first through hole. Specifically, as... Figure 13 As shown, the lower end of the light guide column 600 near the light-emitting component is a cone-shaped light-inlet structure 610, while the upper end away from the light-emitting component is a spherical concave light-emitting structure 620, thereby achieving efficient "light capture" and uniform "light emission".

[0065] like Figure 14 As shown, the switch button 100 includes a rocker arm 110 and a panel 120 fixed above the rocker arm 110. The rocker arm 110 has a hinge structure connecting to the housing 300, and both the rocker arm 110 and the panel 120 are made of opaque material. The second light-transmitting structure includes two second through holes 111 on the rocker arm 110, two third through holes 121 on the panel 120, and a filter 130 fixed between the rocker arm 110 and the panel 120. The two filters 130 corresponding to the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530 are different colors to achieve different color indication effects for the two indication functions. The two third through holes 121 have different shapes to achieve different indication symbols for different indication functions.

[0066] As an alternative embodiment, the rocker 110 can also be made of a transparent material for light transmission. If different color indicators are required for two different indication functions, the rocker 110 can be made of a dual-color translucent material to replace the two different colored filters 130, for example, by using a dual-color injection molding process or splicing assembly. Alternatively, indicator lights of different luminous colors can be directly used as the first indicator light 520 and the second indicator light 530, respectively.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
