[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0050] As used herein, the term "including" and its variations mean open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". Unless otherwise stated, the term "or" means "and / or". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The terms "an example embodiment" and "an embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment". The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects.

[0051] As mentioned above, conventional switch products are relatively thick, and after installation, the switch panel is likely to protrude a lot from the wall. In this case, it may not only visually affect the overall flatness of the wall and reduce the integration of the space design, but may also cause inconvenience during actual use, such as increasing the risk of collision or occupying more limited wall space, which to some extent reduces the overall aesthetics of the room and the user experience.

[0052] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a switch 100. In the switch 100, the actuating member 30 can rotate around a rotation axis R located outside the body 10, and the rotation axis R is located on the side of the actuating member 30 away from the contact assembly 20. During the movement of the actuating member 30, the movement amplitude of the operating member 40 is small, which can reduce the thickness of the operating member 40, thereby reducing the thickness of the switch 100, so as to solve the problem of the large thickness of the conventional switch 100.

[0053] The following will be combined Figures 1 to 19 To describe the principles of the present disclosure in detail, Figures 1 to 13 shows the structure of a switch according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 14 to 19 The structure of the switch according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figures 1 to 13 The principle of the switch of the first embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail.

[0054] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the switch 100 includes a body 10, a contact assembly 20, an actuator 30, and an operating member 40. The body 10 is the main part of the switch 100, made of insulating material, used to carry other components, and is the supporting structure of the entire switch 100. A groove 11 is provided on the body 10 to accommodate other components, such as the contact assembly 20 and the actuator 30.

[0055] The contact assembly 20 is a structure in the switch 100 that determines whether the circuit is on or off. The contact assembly 20 includes at least two contacts. When the contacts are in contact, current can pass through, and the contact assembly 20 is in a closed state; when the contacts are separated, current cannot pass through, and the contact assembly 20 is in an open state. The contact assembly 20 can be switched between the open and closed states as needed to control the on and off of the current. The contact assembly 20 is disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10.

[0056] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, a positioning member 50 is provided in the groove 11, and the positioning member 50 cooperates with the positioning structure in the groove 11. A positioning groove is provided in the positioning member 50, and the contact assembly 20 cooperates with the positioning groove, and the positioning groove can limit the movement of the contact assembly 20.

[0057] In some implementations, alternatively, the contact assembly 20 is directly fixed on the body 10 . For example, a positioning structure is provided in the groove 11 , and the contact assembly 20 cooperates with the positioning structure, and the positioning structure can limit the movement of the contact assembly 20 .

[0058] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the actuator 30 is disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10. The actuator 30 can rotate around a rotation axis R located outside the body 10, and the rotation axis R is located on the side of the actuator 30 away from the contact assembly 20. The actuator 30 can drive the contact assembly 20 to switch between the open state and the closed state during the rotation process. The actuator 30 is a rotatable component, and its function is to change the state of the contact assembly 20. The actuator 30 rotates around the rotation axis R located outside the body 10 and can slide in an arc relative to the body 10. When the actuator 30 slides, it acts on the contact assembly 20, thereby changing the state of the contact assembly 20.

[0059] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the operating member 40 is disposed at the opening of the groove 11 and is coupled to the actuating member 30, and the operating member 40 can drive the actuating member 30 to rotate. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating member 40 is a part that a user can directly interact with, such as a handle or button of the switch 100. When the operating member 40 is located at the opening of the groove 11, the user can directly touch it with his hand, which is convenient for operation.

[0060] Using this arrangement, Figure 3As shown, the length of the lever arm of the actuator 30 acting on the contact assembly 20 is from the rotation axis R to the contact assembly 20, and the length of the lever arm is greater than the size of the actuator 30. The actuator 30 can switch the contact assembly 20 between the open state and the closed state by rotating a small angle. Therefore, the movement amplitude of the operating member 40 is small during the movement of the actuator 30, which can reduce the thickness of the operating member 40, thereby reducing the thickness of the switch 100, so as to solve the problem of the large thickness of the conventional switch 100.

[0061] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the operating member 40 is a touch panel that is bent. When the movement amplitude of the actuating member 30 is small, the bending angle of the touch panel is small.

[0062] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown in FIG. 5 , protrusions 31 are provided on both sides of the actuator 30 . Arc-shaped sliding grooves 14 are provided at two opposite side walls of the body 10 . The two protrusions 31 are correspondingly disposed in the two sliding grooves 14 and can move relative to the sliding grooves 14 .

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, protrusions 31 are provided on both sides of the actuator 30, and the protrusions 31 are in an arc-shaped structure. Arc-shaped sliding grooves 14 are provided at two opposite side walls of the body 10, and the two protrusions 31 are correspondingly arranged in the two sliding grooves 14. On the one hand, the sliding grooves 14 can support the protrusions 31, and the actuator 30 and the body 10 can be connected together. On the other hand, the protrusions 31 can move along the arc-shaped sliding grooves 14, and then rotate around the rotation axis R outside the body 10.

[0064] In some alternative implementations, arc-shaped sliding grooves 14 are provided on both sides of the actuator 30, and protrusions 31 are provided at two opposite side walls of the body 10. The two protrusions 31 are arranged in the two sliding grooves 14 in a one-to-one correspondence and can move relative to the sliding grooves 14. In this embodiment, arc-shaped sliding grooves 14 are provided on both sides of the actuator 30, and protrusions 31 are provided at two opposite side walls of the body 10. The protrusions 31 are in an arc-shaped structure, and the two protrusions 31 are arranged in the two sliding grooves 14 in a corresponding manner. With this arrangement, the sliding groove 14 can support the protrusions 31, thereby connecting the actuator 30 and the body 10 together. At the same time, the protrusions 31 can move along the arc-shaped sliding grooves 14, and then rotate around the rotation axis R outside the body 10.

[0065] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , 6As shown in FIG. 7 , a plurality of first limiting portions 311 are provided on a side of the protruding portion 31 away from the operating member 40, and the plurality of first limiting portions 311 abut against the slot wall of the sliding slot 14. A second limiting portion 141 is provided on the slot wall of the sliding slot 14, and the second limiting portion 141 abuts against a side of the protruding portion 31 away from the plurality of first limiting portions 311, and the plurality of first limiting portions 311 and the second limiting portion 141 can support the protruding portion 31.

[0066] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, two first limiting portions 311 are provided on the side of the protrusion 31 away from the operating member 40. A second limiting portion 141 is provided on the groove wall of the sliding groove 14. The protrusion 31 is not in direct contact with the groove wall of the sliding groove 14, but is in contact with the two first limiting portions 311 and the one second limiting portion 141. With this arrangement, the contact area between the protrusion 31 and the sliding groove 14 is reduced, and the resistance when the protrusion 31 moves along the sliding groove 14 is small, which can facilitate the user's operation.

[0067] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 8, the operating member 40 is rotatably coupled to the body 10, and the operating member 40 abuts against the actuating member 30. The operating member 40 can be connected to the body 10 by a hinge structure, and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the body 10 at a certain angle, such as ±1.5°. The operating frame abuts against the actuating member 30, so that the actuating member 30 and the operating member 40 can rotate synchronously. For example, when the operating member 40 rotates +1.5°, the contact assembly 20 is in an open state. When the operating member 40 rotates -1.5°, the contact assembly 20 is in a closed state. It can be understood that the rotation angle of the operating member 40 can be set as needed, and can be adjusted to within ±1.5°, so that the thickness of the switch is less than or equal to 4.2 mm.

[0068] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 and 8 As shown, support shafts 15 are disposed at two opposite side walls of the body 10 , the extension direction of the support shafts 15 is parallel to the extension direction of the rotation axis R, and the operating member 40 is rotatably connected to the support shafts 15 .

[0069] like Figure 5 , 8As shown in Figures 9 and 10, support shafts 15 are provided at two opposite side walls of the body 10, and the extension direction of the support shaft 15 is parallel to the extension direction of the rotation axis R. A plug-in portion 43 is provided on the side of the operating member 40 close to the actuator 30, and a plug-in slot 44 is provided on the plug-in portion 43. The plug-in slot 44 can be sleeved on the outside of the support shaft 15 and can limit the operating member 40 from falling off along the support shaft 15. The user can touch and press one end of the operating member 40 to adjust the angle between the operating member 40 and the actuator 30, thereby switching the contact assembly 20 between the open state and the closed state.

[0070] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , 3 , 10 and 11, the contact assembly 20 includes a first conductive member 21, a second conductive member 22 and a third conductive member 23. The first conductive member 21 is disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10, and the first conductive member 21 can be connected to the phase line. The second conductive member 22 is disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10, and there is a safety distance between the second conductive member 22 and the first conductive member 21. The third conductive member 23 is rotatably disposed in the groove 11, and the third conductive member 23 includes a first end and a second end, the first end abuts against the first conductive member 21, the second end is coupled to the actuator 30, and the second end can be driven by the actuator 30 to contact or separate from the second conductive member 22.

[0071] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 11, the first conductive member 21 is arranged in the groove 11 inside the body 10, and can be directly connected to the phase line (or live line) of the power supply. The second conductive member 22 is also located inside the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10. The second conductive member 22 maintains a certain safety distance from the first conductive member 21, which can prevent the two from accidentally contacting each other in the contact disconnected state, resulting in a short circuit or other safety accidents. The third conductive member 23 is a rotatable component, which is also arranged in the groove 11. The third conductive member 23 has two ends, namely a first end and a second end. The first end of the third conductive member 23 abuts against the first conductive member 21 and always maintains contact with the first conductive member 21. The second end of the third conductive member 23 is coupled to the actuator 30. With this arrangement, when the operating member 40 is touched and pressed, the rotation of the actuator 30 will act on the third conductive member 23, so that the second end of the third conductive member 23 is close to or away from the second conductive member 22. When the second end of the third conductive member 23 contacts the second conductive member 22, a complete current path is formed from the first conductive member 21 to the second conductive member 22, and the contact assembly 20 switches to the closed state. When the second end of the third conductive member 23 separates from the second conductive member 22, the circuit is cut off, and the contact assembly 20 switches to the open state.

[0072] In some implementations, such as Fig.11As shown, there are two second conductive members 22, and the two second conductive members 22 are arranged on both sides of the third conductive member 23. When the contact assembly 20 is in a closed state, the third conductive member 23 contacts one of the two second conductive members 22. When the contact assembly 20 is in an open state, the third conductive member 23 contacts the other of the two second conductive members 22.

[0073] like Fig.11 As shown, the switch 100 is a double-control switch 100. A second conductive member 22 is provided on both sides of the third conductive member 23, and the third conductive member 23 can connect the first conductive member 21 and one of the two second conductive members 22. When the third conductive member 23 is connected to the second conductive member 22 on the left, the third conductive member 23 is disconnected from the second conductive member 22 on the right. With this arrangement, the same load can be controlled to start and stop at different locations, such as indoor lighting.

[0074] In some implementations, such as Fig.11 As shown, the second end of the third conductive member 23 is closer to the operating member 40 than the first end.

[0075] like Fig.11 As shown, the third conductive member 23 can be a metal sheet. Inside the switch 100, the metal sheet is arranged along the vertical direction. Under the action of the actuator 30, the third conductive member 23 can swing left and right, thereby contacting one of the two second conductive members 22 and separating from the other of the two second conductive members 22. With this arrangement, the third conductive member 23 can be rotated at a small angle to switch the contact assembly 20 between the closed state and the open state, thereby reducing the movement amplitude of the actuator 30, which helps to further reduce the thickness of the operating member 40.

[0076] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Fig.13 As shown, the actuator 30 includes a base 36 and a swing shaft 33. The base 36 is coupled to the operating member 40 and the body 10, and the base 36 can be driven by the operating member 40. In this way, the protrusions 31 are arranged on both sides of the base 36, and the base 36 can rotate around the rotation axis R under the action of the operating member 40. The swing shaft 33 is arranged on the side of the base 36 facing the third conductive member 23, the swing shaft 33 is coupled to the base 36 and the third conductive member 23, and the swing shaft 33 can be driven by the base 36 to rotate the third conductive member 23. With the above arrangement, the swing shaft 33 increases the length of the actuator 30. The length of the force arm of the actuator 30 acting on the third conductive member 23 is from the rotation axis R to the end of the swing shaft 33. The actuator 30 can rotate a small angle to make the third conductive member 23 contact or separate from the second conductive member 22, so that the size of the operating member 40 can be reduced, and the thickness of the switch 100 is reduced.

[0077] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Fig.13 As shown, one end of the swing shaft 33 facing the base 36 is fixedly connected to the base 36. In this way, when the base 36 rotates around the rotation axis R, the swing shaft 33 can be driven to move synchronously.

[0078] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Fig.13 As shown, the base 36 and the swing shaft 33 are integrally formed. During the manufacturing process, the base 36 and the swing shaft 33 are manufactured as a whole at the same time, and no assembly is required. In this way, structural integrity, performance reliability and production efficiency can be improved, while assembly costs and potential failure points can be reduced.

[0079] In some alternative implementations, the base 36 and the swing shaft 33 may be fixed together by bolts or a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0080] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , 12 As shown in FIG. 13 , the switch 100 further includes a spring 34. The spring 34 is disposed between the swing shaft 33 and the third conductive member 23, one end of the spring 34 is coupled to the swing shaft 33, the other end of the spring 34 is coupled to the third conductive member 23, and the spring 34 is configured to apply a force to the swing shaft 33 and the third conductive member 23 to move the swing shaft 33 and the third conductive member 23 away from each other.

[0081] like Figure 2 , 12 As shown in FIG. 13 , the spring 34 can keep the third conductive member 23 away from the swing shaft 33, thereby making the third conductive member 23 abut against the first conductive member 21. When the third conductive member 23 rotates relative to the first conductive member 21, the third conductive member 23 always maintains good contact with the first conductive member 21, thereby improving the stability of the circuit connection of the switch 100.

[0082] In some implementations, such as Fig.11 and Fig.13 As shown, a clamping groove 35 is provided on the side of the swing shaft 33 facing the spring 34 and the side of the third conductive member 23 facing the spring 34, and the end of the spring 34 is connected to the clamping groove 35. The clamping groove 35 can limit the movement of the spring 34 and prevent the spring 34 from falling off along the swing shaft 33 and the third conductive member 23.

[0083] In some implementations, such as Fig.11As shown, the third conductive member 23 includes a bottom 231 and an extension 232. The bottom 231 abuts against the first conductive member 21 and is coupled to one end of the spring 34. The extension 232 is disposed on a side of the bottom 231 facing the operating member 40 and is coupled to the bottom 231. The extension direction of the extension 232 is toward the operating member 40, and the extension 232 can be driven by the actuator 30 to contact or separate from the second conductive member 22.

[0084] like Fig.11 As shown, the bottom 231 rotates under the action of the swing shaft 33 and the spring 34, which can make the extension part 232 rotate synchronously. The end of the extension part 232 away from the bottom 231 can contact or separate from the second conductive member 22. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the length of the extension part 232 is twice the length of the bottom 231. When the swing shaft 33 and the spring 34 make the bottom 231 swing a distance d, the end of the extension part 232 away from the bottom 231 can swing a distance 3d. With this arrangement, the movement amplitude of the actuator 30 is further reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the operating member 40.

[0085] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 , 10 As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the contact assembly 20 further includes a plurality of wiring members 24. The plurality of wiring members 24 are disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10. The plurality of wiring members 24 are connected to the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 one by one. The body 10 is provided with a wiring hole 12 corresponding to the position of each wiring member 24.

[0086] like Fig.10 and 11 As shown, in order to fix the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 in the groove 11 of the body 10, the contact assembly 20 further includes a plurality of wiring members 24. The wiring members 24 are used to support the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 on the one hand, and to connect the first conductive member 21 and the second conductive member 22 to the corresponding phase line on the other hand.

[0087] The following will be combined Figures 14 to 19 The principle of the switch of the second embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail. The structure and combination of the switch of the second embodiment Figures 1 to 13 A part of the structure of the first embodiment described is similar. In the following, the difference between them will be mainly described, and the same parts will not be repeated.

[0088] Different from the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, the operating member 40 may be directly mounted on the actuating member 30 .

[0089] In some implementations, such as Fig.14 , 15As shown in FIG. 16 , a connecting portion 41 is provided on one side of the operating member 40 facing the actuating member 30, and a connecting groove 42 is provided on the actuating member 30 at a position corresponding to the connecting portion 41, and the connecting portion 41 is plugged into the connecting groove 42. In this way, there is no direct connection between the operating member 40 and the body 10, and the operating member 40 is directly mounted on the actuating member 30, and the user can adjust the angle of the actuating member 30 at the same time when touching and pressing the operating member 40.

[0090] In some implementations, such as Fig.14 , 15 As shown in FIG. 16 , four connecting portions 41 are provided on the side of the operating member 40 facing the actuating member 30, and four connecting grooves 42 are provided at positions of the actuating member 30 corresponding to the connecting portions 41. The four connecting portions 41 are plugged into the four connecting grooves 42 one by one, so that the operating member 40 and the actuating member 30 rotate synchronously.

[0091] In the second embodiment, the swing shaft 33 and the base 36 are independent and are not fixed together.

[0092] In some implementations, such as Fig.17 As shown, one end of the swing shaft 33 facing the base 36 can be movably connected to the base 36, and the swing shaft 33 can rotate relative to the base 36. Two limit members 32 are provided on one side of the base 36 facing the swing shaft 33, and the two limit members 32 are located on both sides of the swing shaft 33, and the two limit members 32 can drive the swing shaft 33 to move. With this arrangement, when the base 36 rotates around the rotation axis R, the two limit members 32 on the base 36 can drive the swing shaft 33 to move on the left and right sides. During the movement of the swing shaft 33, the third conductive member 23 can be driven to contact or separate from the second conductive member 22.

[0093] In some implementations, such as Fig.17 , Fig.18 as well as Fig.19 As shown, pins 331 are provided on both sides of one end of the swing shaft 33 facing the base 36, and pin holes 16 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the body 10. Two pins 331 are provided in the two pin holes 16 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the swing shaft 33 can rotate around the pins 331. Two stoppers 32 are provided on one side of the base 36 facing the swing shaft 33. The two stoppers 32 are located on both sides of the swing shaft 33, and the two stoppers 32 can drive the swing shaft 33 to rotate around the pins 331. With this arrangement, the pins 331 can rotate in the pin holes 16 on the body 10. When the base 36 rotates around the rotation axis R, the two stoppers 32 on the base 36 can drive the swing shaft 33 to rotate. In the process of the swing shaft 33 rotating around the pins 331, the third conductive member 23 can be driven to contact or separate from the second conductive member 22.

[0094] In some alternative implementations, pin holes 16 are provided on both sides of one end of the swing shaft 33 facing the base 36, and pin shafts 331 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the body 10, and the two pin shafts 331 are arranged in the two pin holes 16 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the swing shaft 33 can rotate around the pin shaft 331. Two stoppers 32 are provided on one side of the base 36 facing the swing shaft 33, and the two stoppers 32 are located on both sides of the swing shaft 33, and the two stoppers 32 can drive the swing shaft 33 to rotate around the pin shaft 331. In this way, when the base 36 rotates around the rotation axis R, the two stoppers 32 on the base 36 can drive the swing shaft 33 to rotate. In the process of the swing shaft 33 rotating around the pin shaft 331, the third conductive member 23 can be driven to contact or separate from the second conductive member 22.
