This design is also conducive to the heat dissipation and protection of the electronic components, and improves the working performance and reliability of the switch.

[0012] Preferably, a top edge is provided on the upper part of the housing, the top edge extends outward, and the lower end of the outer wall of the positioning sleeve is clamped on the lower part of the top edge. The design of the top edge provides additional support and fixing points for the positioning sleeve, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the positioning sleeve and the housing. This structure also allows the positioning sleeve to be more firmly fixed on the housing, preventing the positioning sleeve from loosening or falling off due to external impact or vibration.

[0013] Preferably, the electronic components inside the housing are covered with a waterproof adhesive layer: the design of the waterproof adhesive layer effectively isolates the electronic components from the external environment, preventing moisture and dust from corroding and damaging the electronic components. This treatment method improves the waterproof and dustproof performance of the electronic components and extends the service life and reliability of the switch.
