[0033] In order to solve the problems of poor installation stability and low assembly efficiency of the switch structure in the prior art, the utility model provides a switch structure.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the switch structure includes a panel and a button, one of the panel 20 and the button 10 has a rotating shaft 230, and the other of the panel 20 and the button 10 has a raised mounting structure 110, and the mounting structure 110 has a rotating shaft mounting hole 111 that rotates with the rotating shaft 230; the raised end of the mounting structure 110 also has an installation guide groove 112, and the installation guide groove 112 is used to install and limit the rotating shaft 230 before the rotating shaft 230 is assembled with the rotating shaft mounting hole 111.
[0035] The button 10 is hingedly mounted on the panel 20 through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 230 and the rotating shaft mounting hole 111 .
[0036] Specifically, the present application adopts an installation guide groove 112 set on the installation structure 110 to limit the rotating shaft 230 through the installation guide groove 112, and then in the process of installing the button 10 and the panel 20, the pre-positioning of the rotating shaft 230 is achieved to facilitate the installation of the rotating shaft 230 with the rotating shaft mounting hole 111, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency; and the present application realizes the articulation of the button 10 and the panel 20 through the structure of the rotating shaft mounting hole 111 and the rotating shaft 230 that rotates and cooperates, which is beneficial to ensure the stability of the installation of the button 10 and the panel 20.
[0037] Further, the panel 20 has an inner cavity, and the mounting structure 110 protrudes toward the inner cavity of the panel 20 .
[0038] Furthermore, the mounting guide groove 112 is provided with a raised end in the raised direction of the mounting structure 110, and the rotating shaft 230 enters from the notch of the mounting guide groove 112 to the groove bottom surface 1122 of the mounting guide groove 112 to realize the pre-positioning of the rotating shaft 230. When the button 10 and the panel 20 are assembled, the rotating shaft 230 slides from the groove bottom surface 1122 to the inside of the rotating shaft mounting hole 111.
[0039] Furthermore, along the protruding direction of the mounting structure 110, the mounting guide groove 112 is located above the shaft mounting hole 111, thereby facilitating the movement of the shaft 230 from the mounting guide groove 112 to the shaft mounting hole 111. Preferably, the mounting guide groove 112 is located directly above the shaft mounting hole 111 to improve the installation efficiency of the shaft 230.
[0040] Furthermore, the length of the line between the two opposite groove sides 1121 of the installation guide groove 112 is not less than the diameter of the shaft installation hole 111. The installation guide groove 112 has enough space to accommodate the shaft 230, so that the shaft 230 can enter the groove of the installation guide groove 112 conveniently.
[0041] In this embodiment, the distance between two oppositely disposed groove side surfaces 1121 of the installation guide groove 112 gradually increases in the direction toward the groove opening, and the two groove side surfaces 1121 form an inclined surface structure for guiding the rotating shaft 230. The groove side surfaces 1121 of the installation guide groove 112 form an inclined surface structure, which is conducive to realizing that the rotating shaft 230 moves toward the groove bottom surface 1122 under the guidance of the inclined surface structure and achieves the effect of limiting the rotating shaft 230, thereby improving the assembly efficiency by pre-positioning the rotating shaft 230.
[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the groove bottom surface 1122 of the installation guide groove 112 has a first guide inclined surface 11222 extending toward the rotation shaft installation hole 111 , and the rotation shaft 230 slides toward the rotation shaft installation hole 111 through the first guide inclined surface 11222 .
[0043] Specifically, by setting the first guide bevel 11222, when the shaft 230 moves from the installation guide groove 112 to the shaft installation hole 111, the first guide bevel 11222 has a guiding function, which facilitates the movement of the shaft 230 along the first guide bevel 11222 to the shaft installation hole 111, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the shaft 230.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the end surface of the rotating shaft 230 has a second guiding inclined surface 231, and the first guiding inclined surface 11222 is slidably matched with the second guiding inclined surface 231, and the second guiding inclined surface 231 is used to provide guidance for the movement of the first guiding inclined surface 11222. By providing the second guiding inclined surface 231 on the rotating shaft, the first guiding inclined surface 11222 and the second guiding inclined surface 231 slide relative to each other during the process of the rotating shaft 230 being transferred to the rotating shaft mounting hole 111, which is conducive to improving the transfer efficiency.
[0045] Furthermore, the groove bottom surface 1122 of the installation guide groove 112 also includes a supporting surface 11221 , one end of the first guiding inclined surface 11222 is connected to the supporting surface 11221 , and the other end of the first guiding inclined surface 11222 extends toward the shaft installation hole 111 .
[0046] In the process of pre-positioning, the support surface 11221 is used to support the rotating shaft 230 , and when the rotating shaft 230 needs to be moved to the rotating shaft installation hole 111 , the first guiding inclined surface 11222 is used to guide the rotating shaft 230 .
[0047] In this embodiment, one end of the first guiding inclined surface 11222 away from the supporting surface 11221 extends toward a side away from the supporting surface 11221, thereby realizing a structure in which the supporting surface 11221 and the first guiding inclined surface 11222 are arranged at an obtuse angle.
[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one side surface of the axial mounting structure 110 along the shaft mounting hole 111 is also provided with a rib structure 113 , and the peripheral side of the shaft 230 is provided with a limiting structure 232 , which abuts against the rib structure 113 , and the rib structure 113 is used to limit the shaft 230 .
[0049] Specifically, by setting the rib structure 113, it is convenient to abut the rib structure 113 against the limiting structure 232 during the assembly process of the button 10 and the panel 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the panel 20 and the button 10, and it is also beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency between the button 10 and the panel 20. The rib structure 113 and the limiting structure 232 are simultaneously used to limit the moving path of the rotating shaft 230 to improve the assembly efficiency of the rotating shaft 230.
[0050] Furthermore, the rib structures 113 are arranged in pairs, and the two rib structures 113 arranged in pairs are symmetrical about the shaft mounting hole 111. The symmetrically arranged rib structures 113 are conducive to ensuring the force balance at the mounting structure 110, thereby improving the stability of the installation.
[0051] In this embodiment, the rib structure 113 avoids the shaft mounting hole 111 and the mounting guide groove 112 to avoid interference with the shaft 230, which makes it inconvenient to assemble the shaft 230 with the shaft mounting hole 111 and the mounting guide groove 112.
[0052] The provision of the rib structure 113 is also beneficial to improving the strength of the mounting structure 110 .
[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the panel 20 includes a frame 210 and a plurality of support ribs 220, the rotating shaft 230 is arranged on the inner surface of the frame 210, and the plurality of support ribs 220 are cross-arranged inside the frame 210, the support rib 220 has a convex shaft 221 coaxial with the rotating shaft 230, the button 10 has a protruding structure 130 on the surface facing the frame 210, the protruding structure 130 has a through hole 131 coaxial with the rotating shaft mounting hole 111, and the protruding shaft 221 is rotatably matched with the through hole 131.
[0054] Specifically, a plurality of cross-arranged support ribs 220 are conducive to improving the strength of the frame 210, and the convex shaft 221 on the support rib 220 is conducive to achieving rotational cooperation with the through hole 131, thereby realizing the hinged setting of the button 10 on the panel 20. The double rotation structure of the convex shaft 221 and the through hole 131, the rotating shaft 230 and the rotating shaft mounting hole 111 is conducive to ensuring the stability of the rotational connection between the button 10 and the panel 20.
[0055] Furthermore, the protruding shaft 221 and the through hole 131 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In the present embodiment, a plurality of the protruding shaft 221 and a plurality of the through hole 131 may be arranged.
[0056] In this embodiment, the surface of the button 10 facing the panel 20 has an anti-reverse rib 140 , and the panel 20 has an anti-reverse boss 222 .
[0057] The present application is provided with an anti-reverse rib 140 and an anti-reverse boss 222, so that when the button 10 is reversed, the anti-reverse rib 140 and the anti-reverse boss 222 abut against each other and interfere with each other, so that the button 10 and the panel 20 cannot be assembled; when the button 10 is installed in the normal state, the anti-reverse rib 140 and the anti-reverse boss 222 are misaligned to avoid interference. The anti-reverse rib 140 and the anti-reverse boss 222 are provided to help avoid the problem of increased workload caused by the phenomenon of flipping.
[0058] Furthermore, the button 10 has an anti-reverse rib 140 on the surface facing the frame 210 , and the support rib 220 has an anti-reverse boss 222 , and the anti-reverse rib 140 abuts and interferes with the anti-reverse boss 222 ; or the anti-reverse rib 140 and the anti-reverse boss 222 are installed in an offset manner.
[0059] In this embodiment, the area where the support rib 220 is connected to the inner surface of the frame 210 has an avoidance groove for avoiding the button 10. The avoidance groove is used to limit the button 10 so that the button 10 can be abutted through the avoidance groove when installing the button 10, thereby facilitating the installation of the button 10.
[0060] In another embodiment, the button 10 has a skirt 120 on the surface facing the panel 20, and the panel 20 has a slot inside, and at least a portion of the skirt 120 extends into the slot. That is, when the button 10 and the panel 20 are assembled, the skirt 120 can also be used to achieve limited installation, and the button 10 is installed on the panel 20 through the limited cooperation between the skirt 120 and the slot.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the switch structure also includes a base plate 40, which is fixed to the frame 210 of the panel 20 by snap-fitting. The base plate 40 is arranged on the side of the panel 20 away from the button 10, wherein the base plate 40 and the frame 210 cooperate to form an installation cavity 201 for installing structural parts such as sockets.
[0062] In this embodiment, the switch structure further includes a fluorescent strip 30 , which is disposed on the button 10 .
