[0007] Furthermore, the shell includes a combinable base and an end cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting groove and both sides of the dial button are respectively provided with positioning grooves and positioning blocks for matching with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the spring guide are arc-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing is provided with an oblique groove for facilitating pushing the dial button.

[0011] Furthermore, an indication mark is provided on the shell.

[0012] The utility model has the beneficial effects that a slidable dial button is installed through the limit groove in the housing, and a spring guide is installed on the dial button through the through groove, so that the height of the dial switch can be effectively reduced. And through the cooperation between the guide block and the spring guide, the length and movable stroke of the dial button can be reduced accordingly, thereby shortening the width of the dial switch. The structure of the dial switch is made more compact, and the space occupied by the dial switch is reduced. Therefore, the convenience and practicality of the dial switch are improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The embodiment of the invention is a compact dial switch, comprising a housing 1, in which a plurality of slidable dial buttons 3 are installed through a limit slot 2, a through slot 4 is provided at the bottom of the dial button 3, and a spring guide 6 is installed through a latch 5, so that the height of the dial switch can be reduced. A first pin 7 and a second pin 8 are provided on both sides of the housing 1 to cooperate with the spring guide 6, and the spring guide 6 cooperates with the second pin 8 through a guide block 9. The width of the dial button 3 fits the limit slot 2, so that the sliding of the dial button 3 is more stable and smooth. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the guide block 9 is designed with an angle, so that the spring guide 6 slides downward when pushed toward the guide block 9, contacts the second pin 8, and connects the circuit. When the spring guide 6 is pushed in the opposite direction, it is no longer restricted by the guide block 9, bounces upward, and disconnects. This effectively reduces the travel required by the dial button 3 while achieving the switching effect.

[0021] Furthermore, the housing 1 and the dial button 3 are made of high temperature resistant and wear-resistant engineering plastics, and the spring guide 6 and the first pin 7 and the second pin 8 are made of copper plated gold, which makes the conductivity better and also increases the anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance, thereby enhancing the service life of the dial switch.

[0022] Furthermore, the housing 1 includes a combinable base 10 and an end cover 11. The end cover 11 and the base 10 can be fixed by adhesive, tight fit or snap fastening. In this embodiment, the tight fit is used for fixing. This makes the installation process faster and saves assembly time.

[0023] Furthermore, the two sides of the limit groove 2 and the dial button 3 are respectively provided with a positioning groove 12 and a positioning block 13 for mutual cooperation. The positioning groove 12 and the positioning block 13 are designed in an arc shape, and the positioning groove 12 and the positioning block 13 are arranged in the space between the dial buttons 3, which can improve the space utilization and effectively reduce the height.

[0024] Furthermore, both ends of the spring guide 6 are arc-shaped, so that during the sliding process, the friction between the first pin 7 and the guide block 9 is reduced, the sliding is smoother, the wear is reduced, and the service life is extended. At the same time, the arc design can also enhance the elasticity of the spring guide 6 and improve the stability and reliability of the contact.

[0025] Furthermore, the housing 1 is provided with an oblique groove 14 for facilitating pushing the dial button 3. The user can more conveniently push the dial button 3 through the oblique groove 14, making the operation more convenient. At the same time, the design of the oblique groove 14 is also ergonomic, so that the user's fingers can more naturally fit the surface of the housing 1 to push the dial button 3, improving the comfort and stability of the operation. The dial button 3 is also lower than the height of the housing 1, reducing the occupied space to avoid accidentally touching the dial button 3 when installing other electronic components or during use.

[0026] Furthermore, an indicator mark 15 is provided on the housing 1. This allows the user to more intuitively understand the current state of the dial switch, making it easier to operate and adjust. The indicator mark 15 may include numbers, letters, symbols, etc., to indicate different dial combinations or states. Such a design not only improves the user experience, but also increases the practicality and convenience of the product.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a slidable dial button 3 is installed through the limit groove 2 in the housing 1, and a spring guide piece 6 is installed on the dial button 3 through the through groove 4, so that the height of the dial switch can be effectively reduced. And through the cooperation of the guide block 9 and the spring guide piece 6, the length and movable stroke of the dial button 3 can be reduced accordingly, thereby shortening the width of the dial switch. The structure of the dial switch is made more compact, and the space occupied by the dial switch is reduced. Thereby, the convenience and practicality of the dial switch are improved.
