[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration switch technology, and more particularly to a bidirectional vibration switch with a 1210 surface mount package. Background Technology
[0002] Current vibration switches are large or irregularly shaped, or even manually inserted, making it difficult to process or automate the manufacturing process after the finished product is shipped. The production process is semi-automatic, requiring manual edge grinding afterward. The components are also relatively thick, generally ranging from 1.8mm to 3mm, which is not conducive to product miniaturization. Summary of the Invention

A cylindrical hole is formed in the middle of the cylindrical housing, and a copper ball is placed inside the cylindrical hole. The top plane is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cylindrical housing, and the bottom plane is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cylindrical housing. A first copper foil is provided on one side of the bottom plane, located on one side of the cylindrical hole, forming a front semicircular area with the first copper foil. A second copper foil is provided on one side of the bottom plane, located on the other side of the cylindrical hole, forming a rear semicircular area with the other side of the cylindrical hole. Both the first and second copper foils extend out of the cylindrical hole. A third copper foil is provided on the other side of the bottom plane. A first pad, a second pad, a third pad, and a fourth pad are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the bottom plane.
[0004] Preferably, the copper ball has a diameter of 0.55 mm, the inner diameter of the cylindrical hole is 0.95 mm, and the surface of the copper ball is plated with a silver layer using a silver plating process.
[0005] Preferably, there is a gap between the first copper sheet and the second copper sheet.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a bidirectional vibration switch with a 1210 surface mount package, which has the following advantages: This invention features a small size, a four-pad design, and can also be mounted on the pads of the 1210 package, resulting in a small duty cycle.

[0012] This invention relates to a bidirectional vibration switch in a 1210 surface mount package, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the device includes a vibration switch body, which comprises a cylindrical housing 1, a top plane 2, and a bottom plane 3. A cylindrical hole 8 is formed in the middle of the cylindrical housing 1, and a copper ball 9 is placed inside the cylindrical hole 8. The top surface of the cylindrical housing 1 is fixedly connected to the top plane 2, and the bottom surface of the cylindrical housing 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom plane 3. A first copper sheet 10 is provided on one side of the cylindrical hole 8, forming a front semicircular area 13. A second copper sheet 11 is provided on the other side of the cylindrical hole 8, forming a rear semicircular area 14. The first copper sheet 10 and the second copper sheet 11... One end of each of the copper balls 1 extends into a cylindrical hole 8, ensuring that when the copper ball 9 rolls back and forth inside the cylindrical hole 8, it must contact one of the first copper sheet 10 and the second copper sheet 11. There is a gap between the first copper sheet 10 and the second copper sheet 11. The top surface of the other end of the bottom plane 3 is provided with a third copper sheet 12. The four corners of the bottom surface of the bottom plane 3 are respectively provided with a first pad 4, a second pad 5, a third pad 6, and a fourth pad 7. The first pad 4 is located below the first copper sheet 10 and is connected to the front semicircular area 13. The second pad 5 is located below the second copper sheet 11 and is connected to the second copper sheet 11. The third pad 6 and the fourth pad 7 are located below the third copper sheet 12 and are connected to the third copper sheet 12.
[0013] When the environment swings or shakes, the copper ball 9 will roll back and forth between the front semicircular area 13 and the rear semicircular area 14. When the copper ball rolls in the front semicircular area 13, it will be connected to the vertical surface of the cylindrical box 1, that is, connected to the first pad 4; when the copper ball rolls in the rear semicircular area 14, it will be connected to the vertical surface of the cylindrical box, that is, connected to the second pad 5, thereby realizing the alternating short-circuit and open-circuit connection of the two circuit networks of the first pad 4 and the second pad 5.
[0014] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure (①, ②, ③, and ④ represent the first pad 4, the second pad 5, the third pad 6, and the fourth pad 7, respectively; the front represents the front semicircular area 13, and the back represents the rear semicircular area 14), in practical applications, the first pad 4 and the second pad 5 on the bottom plane are usually connected to pull-up resistors to provide a high level. The first pad 4 and the second pad 5 are respectively connected to the two interrupt input terminals of the microcontroller chip. The vertical surface of the cylindrical box 1 is grounded. If the vibration continues, the copper ball 9 will roll back and forth, contacting the front semicircular area 13 and the rear semicircular area 14, and alternately connecting with the vertical surface of the cylindrical box 1. The first pad 4 and the second pad 5 will alternately output high and low pulse signals to the two IO ports of the microcontroller chip for reception. Through the step counting algorithm of the microcontroller software, the final product functions are realized, such as step counting, vibration triggering, motion detection, tilt sensing, and other trigger wake-up functions.
[0015] The copper ball 9 has a diameter of 0.55mm, and the inner diameter of the cylindrical hole 8 is 0.95mm. The surface of the copper ball 9 is plated with a silver layer to increase its conductivity. The first copper sheet 10, the second copper sheet 11, and the third copper sheet 12 are all plated with gold on the top surface of the bottom plane 3. The first pad 4, the second pad 5, the third pad 6, and the fourth pad 7 are also plated with gold on the bottom plane 3. The gold plating process makes it less prone to oxidation and easier to manufacture for surface mount technology.
[0016] The main body of the vibration switch has the following dimensions: 2.2mm in length, 1.4mm in width, and 1.05mm in thickness. It is a standard 1210 package and can be directly surface-mounted onto the 1210 package pads.

Furthermore, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
