[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The toggle switch structure of the first embodiment of the present application is applied to ultra-thin products such as drawing boards and drawing screens. The toggle switch structure includes a housing 100, a switch assembly 200, a switch key 300 and a limit member 400.

[0037] The housing 100 includes a first cover body 110 and a second cover body 120 which can be assembled with each other; the switch assembly 200 is arranged on the first cover body 110; the switch key 300 is arranged on the second cover body 120, and the switch key 300 is suitable for being connected to the switch assembly 200 after the first cover body 110 and the second cover body 120 are assembled; the limit member 400 is arranged on the second cover body 120, and the limit member 400 is used to limit the switch key 300 to a preset axial position.

[0038] It is understandable that during assembly, the switch assembly 200 is first arranged on the first cover body 110, and then the switch key 300 is movably arranged on the second cover body 120, so that after the first cover body 110 and the second cover body 120 are assembled, the switch assembly 200 can be driven to switch states and trigger corresponding circuits based on the movement of the switch key 300. It should be noted that the switch key 300 is assembled to the second cover body 120 in the axial direction, and then the limiter 400 is assembled to the second cover body 120, and the axial position of the switch key 300 is fixed by the limiter 400, so that the switch key 300 cannot be separated from the lower cover in the axial direction, thereby reducing problems during production and assembly, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first cover body 110 is an upper cover, the second cover body 120 is a lower cover, the switch assembly 200 is assembled with the upper cover as a whole, the switch key 300 and the stopper 400 are assembled with the lower cover as a whole, and then the upper cover and the lower cover are assembled, thereby facilitating production operations. Since the switch assembly 200 is integrated with the upper cover, and the switch key 300 and the stopper 400 are integrated with the lower cover, the switch assembly 200 and the switch key 300 are easily assembled together, thereby solving the problem of difficult assembly in the production process, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The toggle switch structure of the first aspect of the present application uses a limit member 400 to limit the switch key 300 on the second cover body 120, so that the switch key 300 will not separate from the second cover body 120 in the axial direction and the sliding adjustment direction. Based on the limitation, the first cover body 110 and the second cover body 120 can be easily matched together, which solves the problem of difficult assembly in the production process, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting member 400 includes a limiting body 410, a first limiting portion 420 and a second limiting portion 430, the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 are relatively arranged on the limiting body 410, and the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 respectively abut the switch key 300 to limit the switch key 300 to a preset axial position. It can be understood that the limiting body 410 is used to be connected and fixed with the second cover body 120, so that the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 are in a suitable position and can limit the switch key 300, the top surface of the switch key 300 extends out of the second cover body 120 and is suitable for the user to turn to control the switch assembly 200, the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 cooperate with each other and abut on the bottom surface of the switch key 300, so that the switch key 300 can be in a suitable axial position.

[0042] In some embodiments, the limiting body 410, the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 are an integrated structure, and the limiting member 400 is an engineering plastic or a metal sheet. In other embodiments, the limiting body 410, the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 are a split structure, which are connected and fixed to each other by screwing, welding, buckling or bonding, etc., which will not be described in detail here, and the setting method can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the switch key 300 is provided with a first socket 310 and a second socket 320 relatively, the first limit portion 420 is suitable for being embedded in the first socket 310, and the second limit portion 430 is suitable for being embedded in the second socket 320. It can be understood that the first socket 310 and the second socket 320 are used for the first limit portion 420 and the second limit portion 430 to extend into and limit the first limit portion 420 and the second limit portion 430, respectively, so as to facilitate assembly. At the same time, based on the activity setting direction of the switch key 300 is the relative direction of the first limit portion 420 and the second limit portion 430, so as to ensure that the switch key 300 can move smoothly under the abutment of the first limit portion 420 and the second limit portion 430, based on this, the setting of the first socket 310 and the second socket 320 can also play a guiding role, so that the abutment effect can be ensured when the first limit portion 420 and the second limit portion 430 are relatively displaced with the switch key 300, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first socket 310 and the second socket 320 are formed on the switch key 300, that is, the first socket 310 and the second socket 320 are an integrated structure with the switch key 300. In other embodiments, the first socket 310 and the second socket 320 are a separate structure with the switch key 300, and are connected and fixed to each other by screwing, welding, buckling or bonding, etc., which will not be described in detail here, and the setting method can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting body 410 includes a first vertical portion 411, a second vertical portion 412 and a horizontal portion 413, the first vertical portion 411 and the second vertical portion 412 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the horizontal portion 413 in the length direction, the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 are respectively arranged on the relative inner sides of the first vertical portion 411 and the second vertical portion 412, and there is a gap between the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 and the horizontal portion 413. It can be understood that the horizontal portion 413 is used to connect with the second cover body 120, and can be connected and fixed by means of screwing, welding, snapping or bonding. The first vertical portion 411, the second vertical portion 412 and the horizontal portion 413 are arranged perpendicular to each other, so that there is a gap between the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 and the horizontal portion 413, and the gap can allow part of the switch key 300 to be placed and positioned. The first vertical portion 411 and the second vertical portion 412 are used to limit the movable range of the switch key 300, and enable the first limiting portion 420 and the second limiting portion 430 to be in a suitable position to limit the switch key 300 to a suitable axial position.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first vertical portion 411, the second vertical portion 412 and the horizontal portion 413 are an integrated structure. In other embodiments, the first vertical portion 411, the second vertical portion 412 and the horizontal portion 413 are split structures, which are connected and fixed to each other by screwing, welding, buckling or bonding, etc., which will not be described in detail here, and the setting method can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the switch assembly 200 includes a PCB board 210 and a switch body 220, the PCB board 210 is arranged on the first cover body 110, and the switch body 220 is arranged on the PCB board 210. After the first cover body 110 and the second cover body 120 are assembled, the switch key 300 is used to toggle the state of the switch body 220. It can be understood that the PCB board 210 is connected to the switch body 220, so that the switch key 300 can switch the control circuit of the PCB board 210 by toggling the switch body 220. The switch body 220 is a toggle switch, so that the movement of the switch key 300 can drive the switch body 220 to toggle and switch the state. Based on the setting of the limiter 400, the assembly of the switch body 220 and the switch key 300 is very easy, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning structure 330 for positioning the switch body 220 is provided on the switch key 300. It is understandable that the positioning structure 330 on the switch key 300 is used to position the switch body 220, so that the switch key 300 can be smoothly assembled with the switch body 220, and the switch body 220 can be sensitively toggled to switch the state.

[0049] In some embodiments, the positioning structure 330 includes a positioning groove 331 and a positioning rib 332 disposed in the positioning groove 331. It is understandable that the positioning groove 331 is used to connect and assemble the switch body 220 with the switch key 300, and the positioning rib 332 is used to ensure the connection effect and also play the role of toggling the switch body 220.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the positioning structure 330 may also be configured to include but not limited to positioning columns, positioning blocks or positioning protrusions, and the design may be selected according to actual needs.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, a limiting groove 121 is provided on the second cover 120, and the switch key 300 is movably disposed on the limiting groove 121. It can be understood that the switch key 300 is movably disposed on the limiting groove 121 and is connected to the second cover 120 to form an integral component, and the user can toggle the switch key 300 to move in the limiting groove 121 to switch the state of the toggle switch during specific use.

[0052] In some embodiments, the limit member 400 is located on the outside of the limit groove 121. The limit member 400 is fixed on the second cover body 120 and abuts against the switch key 300 located in the limit groove 121. The limit groove 121 is used to limit the movable range of the switch key 300, and the limit member 400 is used to limit the axial position of the switch key 300, so that the switch key 300 is in a suitable position for easy assembly.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the stopper 400 is fixed to the second cover 120 by hot melt adhesive so as to limit the switch key 300 in the limit groove 121. It is understandable that the stopper 400 is engineering plastic or metal sheet, so it can be reliably and conveniently set on the second cover 120 by hot melt adhesive.

[0054] In some embodiments, the toggle switch is first welded on the PCB board 210, and then the PCB board 210 welded with the switch key 300 is mounted on the plastic upper cover to form an upper cover assembly. Then the switch key 300 is mounted on the lower cover, and the limiter 400 is fixed to the lower cover by hot melt glue to form a lower cover assembly. Finally, the lower cover assembly and the upper cover assembly are assembled together. By adding a low-cost switch key 300 fixing device, the problem of difficult production operations is solved, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

[0055] It should be noted that the switch key 300 is assembled to the lower cover from the axial direction, and then the limit member 400 is assembled to the lower cover (the limit member 400 is fixed to the lower cover by hot melting). The switch key 300 is fixed to the lower cover by the limit structure of the limit member 400, and then the limit groove 121 of the lower cover is used to limit the switch key 300, so that the switch key 300 can only slide in the upper and lower directions, and will not separate from the lower cover in the axial and upper and lower sliding directions, thus forming a lower cover assembly. The lower cover assembly is assembled to the upper cover assembly. Since the switch key 300 is fixed to the lower cover to form a whole, the positioning structure 330 of the switch key 300 is easy to match with the handle of the toggle switch when assembled.

[0056] It is understandable that the old button design scheme in the past is to directly assemble the switch key 300 on the upper cover assembly, and use the toggle switch handle, the switch key 300 positioning structure 330 and the lower cover limit groove 121 for positioning. Although it can be positioned in the up, down, left and right directions, it is difficult to achieve good positioning in the axial direction. In order to achieve positioning in the axial direction, it is necessary to use the switch key 300 handle positioning structure 330 to fit the toggle switch handle tightly. Since the drawing board and the drawing screen are ultra-thin products, the toggle switch can only choose a relatively short handle. If you want to use the handle for positioning, then the handle positioning structure 330 of the switch key 300 has higher requirements, and it is difficult to control production. If the product cannot be positioned in the axial direction, then when assembling the lower cover, it is difficult to align the lower cover button hole and the button, and it is easy for the switch key 300 to fall off the upper cover assembly, resulting in production difficulties and low production capacity.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The electronic product of the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application may be an ultra-thin product such as a drawing board or a drawing screen. The electronic product includes the toggle switch structure of the first aspect of the present application. A simple limiter 400 is used to allow the switch key 300 to form a whole with the lower cover, which is beneficial to production operations and solves the problem of difficult assembly during the production process, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0058] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
