Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of switches, and particularly relates to a push-button switch. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional safety switches, such as the Chinese invention patent with publication number "CN120854204A" entitled "Mechanical Safety Lock," utilize a blocking component that can move between a first and a second position relative to the housing. Before the user inserts the start key into the housing, the blocking component is in the first position, positioned on the trigger path of the button component, preventing the button component from moving to the start position. This prevents the user from triggering the switch mechanism by pressing the button component, maintaining the electrical state of the electrical equipment and reducing the likelihood of accidental triggering, thus providing safety. However, this design has the following drawbacks: 1. The start key pushes the blocking component's push rod through an inclined surface, resulting in high resistance and a risk of water leakage at the push rod; 2. The circuit connection or disconnection is achieved through the interaction of moving and stationary contacts on a spring, which is prone to dust accumulation and significant mechanical wear.

[0019] Preferably, the middle base 2 is provided with a bracket 23, and the top of the bracket 23 is provided with a light-emitting PCB board 24 and a light-transmitting ring 25 in sequence. The light-emitting PCB board 24 is electrically connected to the main PCB board 6 to realize the indicator function of the switch.

[0020] Preferably, an outer sealing ring 26 is provided between the top of the base 1 and the upper cover 3, and an inner sealing ring 27 extending out of the upper cover 3 is provided at the center of the outer sealing ring 26. A button 28 for pressing the button 4 is provided on the inner sealing ring 27. This further improves the waterproof performance of the switch.

[0021] Preferably, the middle seat 2 has guide grooves 29 on both sides, and the button 4 has a guide rail 30 that guides and cooperates with the guide grooves 29 to improve the stability of the button 4 sliding.

[0022] Preferably, the middle seat 2 is provided with a first groove 31 that slides in conjunction with the blocking slider 10 to improve the stability of the sliding of the blocking slider 10.

[0023] Preferably, the main PCB board 6 has a pin terminal 32 at its bottom, which is electrically connected to the toggle switch 7 via the main PCB board 6. The base 1 has a connector socket 33 at its bottom, and the contact end of the pin terminal 32 extends into the connector socket 32. In use: inserting an external connector into the connector socket 33 and connecting it to the pin terminal 32 enables circuit connection, facilitating wiring.

[0024] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with a second groove 34 that slides in conjunction with the magnetic slider 15 to improve the stability of the sliding of the magnetic slider 15.
