DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A toggle switch comprises a switch box 1, a switch cover 101 is clamped on the top surface of the switch box 1, a power connection piece 4 and a docking piece 401 are arranged between the switch box 1 and the switch cover 101, one end of the power connection piece 4 close to the docking piece 401 is tilted upward, a slide groove 102 is provided on the top surface of the switch cover 101, a toggle block 5 is slidably connected in the slide groove 102, the toggle block 5 is in an I-shape, is made of insulating material, and has anti-slip texture on the top.

[0026] The above design allows the device to be used by pushing and pulling the toggle block 5 to slide toward the end of the power connection plate 4 close to the docking plate 401, thereby pressing one end of the power connection plate 4 downward to dock with the docking plate 401, thereby forming a loop. Otherwise, the end of the docking plate 4 is no longer pressed, thereby realizing the basic function of the device.

[0027] An elastic sheet 3 is provided on the side of the switch box 1, and the movable end of the elastic sheet 3 is offset toward a side away from the switch box 1. A positioning protrusion 301 is provided at the movable end of the elastic sheet 3. The two ends of the switch box 1 are slidably connected with a protective cover 2. A positioning port 202 is opened on the side of the protective cover 2, and the positioning port 202 is adapted to the positioning protrusion 301.

[0028] There are two elastic sheets 3 and two positioning holes 202, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the switch box 1 and the protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is provided with a through hole 203 on the side away from the switch box 1, and the through hole 203 is adapted to the contact of the switch.

[0029] By adopting the above design, when the toggle switch needs to be carried and transported, the protective cover 2 can be pushed to slide toward the two ends of the switch box 1.

[0030] Since the movable end of the elastic sheet 3 is offset toward the side away from the switch box 1 , during the sliding process of the protective cover 2 , the positioning opening 202 on the side thereof will squeeze the positioning protrusion 301 of the elastic sheet 3 , causing the elastic sheet 3 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0031] When the positioning protrusion 301 slides into the positioning opening 202, the elastic sheet 3 recovers its deformation, and the positioning protrusion 301 is stuck in the positioning opening 202, thereby fixing the protective cover 2 on the switch box 1. At this time, the protective cover 2 can wrap the contacts of the toggle switch to protect the contacts from damage caused by external collisions and other factors.

[0032] By providing a slidably connected protective cover 2 at both ends of the switch box 1, and utilizing the cooperation of the elastic sheet 3 and the positioning opening 202 to realize the fixing and removal of the protective cover 2, the problem of exposed contacts being easily bent and broken in the prior art is effectively solved, the reliability and stability of the toggle switch are improved, and the failure and maintenance costs caused by contact damage are reduced.

[0033] Furthermore, a pressing protrusion 302 is provided at the top of the positioning protrusion 301 , and a connecting groove 201 is provided on the side of the positioning opening 202 , and the pressing protrusion 302 can slide in the connecting groove 201 .

[0034] By adopting the above design, when the protective cover 2 needs to be removed, the pressing protrusion 302 at the top of the positioning protrusion 301 can be pressed to make it slide along the connecting groove 201 on the side of the positioning port 202, so that the positioning protrusion 301 is separated from the positioning port 202, and the protective cover 2 can be slid away from the closing box 1.

[0035] Furthermore, side buckles 103 are provided on both sides of the switch cover 101, protrusions 104 are provided on both sides of the switch box 1, and notches matching the protrusions 104 are formed on the side buckles 103, and the protrusions 104 are snapped into the notches.

[0036] During the assembly process of the switch box 1 and the switch cover 101 , the switch cover 101 is first aligned with the top surface of the switch box 1 , and then gently pressed to gradually bring the protrusions 104 on both sides of the switch box 1 close to the side buckles 103 on both sides of the switch cover 101 .

[0037] Since the side buckle 103 is provided with a notch adapted to the protrusion 104, when the protrusion 104 contacts the side buckle 103, under a certain pressure, the protrusion 104 will slide into the notch along the edge of the side buckle 103, thereby achieving the snap connection between the two.

[0038] This clamping method utilizes the shape matching between the protrusion 104 and the notch and the elastic deformation characteristics of the material, so that the switch cover 101 can be tightly and stably fixed on the top surface of the switch box 1.

[0039] The switch box 1 is provided with a positioning column 105 , and the power connection piece 4 and the docking piece 401 are provided with positioning holes adapted to the positioning column 105 .

[0040] The design of the positioning column 105 and the positioning hole allows the positioning holes on the power connection plate 4 and the docking plate 401 to be aligned with the positioning column 105 when installing the power connection plate 4 and the docking plate 401, thereby completing the accurate installation of the power connection plate 4 and the docking plate 401 simply and quickly.

[0041] When installing the power connection piece 4 and the docking piece 401, align their positioning holes with the positioning posts 105 and insert them, ensuring that the power connection piece 4 and the docking piece 401 are in the correct position and height relationship inside the switch box 1, which plays a key role in ensuring that the subsequent toggle block 5 accurately controls the contact and separation of the power connection piece 4 and the docking piece 401.

[0042] During the entire process of using the switch, no matter it is subjected to external vibrations or impacts, or when environmental factors such as temperature and humidity change, the clamping structure of the protrusion 104 and the side buckle 103 and the positioning function of the positioning column 105 on the internal components jointly maintain the integrity and stability of the switch structure, and ensure the reliable realization of the circuit on-off control function.

[0043] The switch box 1 and the switch cover 101 are tightly connected by means of the protrusion 104 and the side buckle 103. At the same time, the positioning column 105 is used inside to assist the positioning and installation of the power connection plate 4 and the docking plate 401, making the entire switch structure more stable and ensuring normal operation in various usage environments.
