It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.
[0022] Embodiment 1:
[0023] The utility model discloses a toggle lock switch, referring to Figure 1-Figure 6 , comprising a housing 1, wherein a toggle plate 8, an elastic movable component and a PCB main board 2 are sequentially arranged inside the housing 1 from top to bottom, a protrusion 802 with a high surface and a low surface is protruded from the bottom end of the toggle plate 8, a conductive spring 3 and a conducting contact 201 are integrated on the upper end of the PCB main board 2, and the upper and lower ends of the elastic movable component are respectively against the protrusion 802 and the conductive spring 3; when the high surface of the protrusion 802 is against the elastic movable component, the elastic movable component is pressed downward to make the conductive spring 3 contact with the conducting contact 201, completing the conducting opening operation; when the low surface of the protrusion 802 is against the elastic movable component, the elastic movable component rises The conductive spring piece 3 is separated from the conductive contact 201 to complete the disconnection and closing operation. The conductive contact 201 and the elastic conductive spring piece 3 are designed on the PCB main board 2, and a physical toggle switch for toggling and pressing the conductive spring piece 3 is designed on the shell 1. When the toggle plate 8 is toggled left and right, the height of the toggle plate 8 is used to adjust the pressing depth of the elastic movable component. According to the pressing position of the elastic movable component, the conductive spring piece 3 is driven to contact or move away from the conductive contact 201, thereby completing the circuit conduction and disconnection operations. The overall physical toggle method is adopted, which is anti-interference and more stable to use.
[0024] The switch function is specified by program control. When the conductive spring 3 contacts the conductive contact 201, the machine is locked and turned on. When the conductive spring 3 separates from the conductive contact 201, the machine is locked and turned off (this is an existing achievable circuit technology and will not be described in detail).
[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the shell 1 has a accommodating cavity 101 for accommodating an elastic movable component and limiting its up and down movement. The elastic movable component includes a movable rod 7, a spring 5 and a gasket 6. The upper and lower ends of the movable rod 7 are respectively in contact with the protrusion 802 and the conductive spring 3. The end of the conductive spring 3 is located directly above the conductive contact 201. The height of the toggle plate 8 is used to adjust the downward pressing depth of the movable rod 7. According to the downward pressing position of the movable rod 7, the conductive spring 3 is driven to contact or move away from the conductive contact 201.
[0026] Furthermore, a waterproof ring 4 is provided on the movable rod 7, and the inner and outer end faces of the waterproof ring 4 are respectively interference fit with the movable rod 7 and the wall of the accommodating cavity 101, and the gasket 6 is padded on the upper end face of the waterproof ring 4. The waterproof ring 4 can ensure the sealing of the combination of the elastic movable component and the shell 1, so that its waterproofness reaches IPX8 level.
[0027] The waterproof ring 4 is preferably made of rubber or silicone material.
[0028] Furthermore, an annular stop surface 701 is integrally formed on the movable rod 7, and the spring 5 is sleeved on the movable rod 7, and the spring 5 is located in the space enclosed by the annular stop surface 701 and the gasket 6. The designed spring 5 can provide a rebound force for the movable rod 7 to reset. When the lower surface of the protrusion 802 moves to above the movable rod 7, the movable rod 17 is driven by the spring 5 to rise away from the conductive spring piece 3.
[0029] Furthermore, a connected inclined slope is provided between the high surface and the low surface of the protrusion 802, and the top of the movable rod 7 has a curved surface 702. Through the cooperation of the curved surface 702 and the inclined slope, the resistance encountered when the plate 8 is moved left and right can be reduced, making the movement more convenient and the use effect better.
[0030] Furthermore, a groove for installing a toggle plate 8 is provided inside the outer wall of the shell 1. The toggle plate 8 can slide left and right along the groove of the shell 1. The upper end surface of the toggle plate 8 is protruded to form a toggle block 801 extending out of the shell 1. The upper end surface of the toggle block 801 has anti-slip texture. The designed toggle block 801 can facilitate the user to push the toggle plate 8 when in use. In addition, the anti-slip texture can increase the friction during contact to improve the pushing effect.
[0031] Embodiment 2:
[0032] Reference Figure 7 The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the spring 5 and the gasket 6 are cancelled, and the resilience of the conductive spring sheet 3 itself can be used to drive the movable rod 7 to reset, which ensures the original use effect while lowering the cost.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
