[0035] Example 1
[0036] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a reset switch, wherein a space is formed between a base 1 and an upper cover 7; one of the two symmetrical sides of the base 1 is provided with an independent first pin 20 and a second pin 21, wherein the other side is provided with a third pin 22, a fourth pin 23 and a fifth pin 24; the five pins all extend into the space; in the space, a brush sheet 4, a support block 5 and a torsion spring 6 are provided in sequence from bottom to top; one end of the torsion spring 6 abuts against the support block 5, and the other end abuts against the upper cover 7; the upper end of the reset knob 8 is located above the upper cover 7, and the lower end of the reset knob 8 can be rotated through the upper cover 7 and It is connected to the middle part of the support block 5, and its lower end extends to the lower end of the support block 5; the brush sheet 4 can rotate synchronously with the reset knob 8; when the reset knob 8 is in the pressed position, the first pin 20 and the second pin 21 are connected; when the reset knob 8 is turned to the left position, the third pin 22 and the fourth pin 23 are connected through the brush sheet 4, and when the reset knob 8 is turned to the right position, the third pin 22 and the fifth pin 24 are connected through the brush sheet 4; when the force of pressing and rotating the reset knob 8 is removed, the reset knob 8 is automatically reset, and the five pins are not connected to each other.
[0038] In this embodiment, the reset function is realized through innovative structural design through components such as the base 1, the upper cover 7, the brush sheet 4, the support block 5, the torsion spring 6, etc. Compared with the traditional simple electrical contact method, the present application can provide a more reliable reset performance; and the above-mentioned reset switch of the present application has a variety of reset modes. Through the different positions of the reset knob, conduction between different pins can be achieved, which can meet the reset requirements of different circuits or devices and provide a more flexible application method; when the driving force for pressing and rotating the reset knob is removed, the reset knob 8 will automatically restore the original default state. The automatic reset structure can improve the convenience and efficiency of operation, eliminate the manual reset step, and reduce the user's operating burden.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] The utility model embodiment provides a reset switch, referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a space is formed between a base 1 and an upper cover 7; one of the two symmetrical sides of the base 1 is provided with an independent first pin 20 and a second pin 21, and the other side is provided with a third pin 22, a fourth pin 23 and a fifth pin 24; in the space, a brush sheet 4, a support block 5 and a torsion spring 6 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top; one end of the torsion spring 6 abuts against the support block 5, and the other end abuts against the upper cover 7; a reset knob 8, the upper end of which is located above the upper cover 7, the lower end of which can rotate through the upper cover 7 and is connected to the middle of the support block 5, and the end of the lower end is elastically connected to the pot The pot piece 3; one side of the brush piece 4 has a first fan surface; and the first fan surface can rotate with the rotation of the reset knob 8; when the reset knob 8 is in the pressed position, the first pin 20 and the second pin 21 are connected through the pot piece 3; when the reset knob 8 is turned to the left position, the third pin 22 and the fourth pin 23 are connected through the first fan surface, and when the reset knob 8 is turned to the right position, the third pin 22 and the fifth pin 24 are connected through the first fan surface; when the driving force for pressing and rotating the reset knob 8 is removed, the reset knob 8 is automatically reset.
[0041] Through the above-mentioned pot piece 3, when the reset knob 8 is pressed, the end of the lower end causes the pot piece 3 to be deformed, and the first pin 20 and the second pin 21 extending into the space are electrically connected. When the above-mentioned reset knob 8 is released, the pot piece 3 itself has elasticity and can automatically recover, thereby disconnecting the first pin 20 and the second pin 21. When in use, after connecting to the circuit, a signal from disconnection to connection and / or from connection again can be given to the circuit, which can be used as a jump signal or as two jump signals. The specific signal can be determined according to the circuit used.
[0042] In addition, the connection relationship between the third pin 22, the fourth pin 23 and the fifth pin 24 is similar. When the reset knob 8 is rotated to the left, for example, rotated 90°, the third pin 22 and the fourth pin 23 are electrically connected in the space through the first fan surface of the brush sheet 4, so that they are turned on. When released, the first fan surface returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 6, so that the electrical connection between the third pin 22 and the fourth pin 23 is disconnected; when the reset knob 8 is rotated to the right, similar to the right, the third pin 22 and the fifth pin 24 are turned on.
[0043] It should be noted that the length of the lower end of the reset knob 8 is slightly longer than the internal height when the upper cover 7 and the support block 5 are installed together, so as to ensure that the reset knob 8 has a height that can be pressed downward.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 1 Shown and Figure 3 As shown, a circular groove 13 is provided in the base 1, and square grooves 12 are provided on the edges of the circular groove 13 on both sides of the base 1 where no pins are provided; the second pin 21 is electrically connected to a first conductor area 25 provided in the middle of the circular groove 13, and the first pin 20 is electrically connected to a second conductor area 26, wherein the second conductor area 26 at least partially surrounds the first conductor area 25; the third pin 22 is electrically connected to first electrode claws 27 in two square grooves 12, wherein the square groove 12 on one side is provided with a second electrode claw 28 side by side with the first electrode claw 27, wherein The square groove 12 on the other side is provided with a third electrode claw 29 side by side with the first electrode claw 27, the second electrode claw 28 is electrically connected to the fifth pin 24, and the third electrode claw 29 is electrically connected to the fourth pin 23; the first electrode claw 27 and the third electrode claw 29, as well as the first electrode claw 27 and the second electrode claw 28 are all located on the rotation trajectory of the first fan surface, and can be electrically connected through the first fan surface; a pot piece 3 is provided at the upper end of the first conductor area 25 and the second conductor area 26, and the pot piece 3 is electrically connected to the second conductor area 26.
[0045] Further preferably, the central angle of the first sector is 90°. With a larger central angle, when the third pin 22 needs to be connected to the other two pins, the rotation angle of the reset knob 8 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient elastic force caused by excessive deformation of the torsion spring 6. In addition, the brush sheet 4 may further be provided with a second sector face with a relatively small central angle on the opposite side of the first sector face, for example, a second sector face with a central angle of 45° may be provided, so that the third pin 22 can be simultaneously connected with the fourth pin 23 and the fifth pin 24. Specifically, for example, when the first sector face is rotated to be electrically connected with the first electrode claw 27 and the second electrode claw 28, at this time, the second sector face, due to a smaller central angle than the first sector face, makes the first electrode claw 27 and the third electrode claw 29 contact the second sector face. When the rotation continues, the first electrode claw 27 and the third electrode claw 29 can be contacted and connected through the second sector face, while the first electrode claw 27 and the second electrode claw 28 still maintain contact and connection with the first sector face. That is, when the rotation angle is small, the third pin 22 can be connected with one of the fourth pin 23 and the fifth pin 24. When the rotation angle is large, the three pins are connected. When released, the three pins are reset and are not connected to each other.
[0046] It should also be noted that a larger central angle can be set, and the position of the corresponding electrode claw can be adjusted so that the above-mentioned third pin 22 remains connected to the fourth pin 23 or the fifth pin 24. When rotating, it switches to a pin behind the connection and the front pin is disconnected, which is equivalent to making the third pin 22 and the fourth pin 23 or the fifth pin 24 form a switch with normally open and normally closed, and can be automatically reset; the third pin 22 in the middle is used as a common end. Initially, the pin is electrically connected to one of the fourth pin 23 or the fifth pin 24 as normally closed, and the other is normally open. When the reset knob 8 is turned, the state is switched.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] The utility model embodiment provides a reset switch, wherein, referring to Figure 1 The support block 5 has a raised edge 52 on its edge and a rotating hole 51 in its middle; the torsion spring 6 has one end abutting against the raised edge 52 and the other end abutting against the upper cover 7; a hollow cylinder 71 is provided in the middle of the upper cover 7; the reset knob 8 has a knob end 81 at its upper end located at the upper end of the hollow cylinder 71, and an extended end 82 at its lower end passes through the hollow cylinder 71 and is adapted to be connected with the rotating hole 51; a pressing block 83 is also provided between the extended end 82 and the pot piece 3, and the upper end of the pressing block 83 is at least partially located in the rotating hole 51 and connected with the extended end 82.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 4The knob end 81 is at least partially a polygonal cylinder or an incomplete cylinder. By setting the knob end 81 as a polygonal cylinder or an incomplete cylinder, a larger knob can be better sleeved and fixed, which is convenient for the screwing operation.
[0050] Further preferably, the metal parts in the reset switch are made of copper, and at least the exposed parts have a nickel plating layer. The first pin 20, the second pin 21, the third pin 22, the fourth pin 23 and the fifth pin 24 can be nickel-plated to protect the exposed pins and have a certain anti-rust ability. On the other hand, nickel plating can also make these pins easier to weld. The use of copper materials for the internal hardware can reduce the internal resistance, and nickel plating can also further protect them.
[0051] Example 4
[0052] Based on the same concept, the utility model also discloses an electronic device, which uses the reset switch as mentioned above.
[0053] It should be noted that each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Although optional embodiments of the utility model embodiments have been described, once those skilled in the art know the basic creative concept, they can make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the attached claims are intended to be interpreted as including optional embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the utility model embodiments.
