Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of switches, and in particular to a rocker-type switch. Background Art

[0002] A rocker switch is an electrical switch device with simple functions and unique appearance. It is also called a wave switch or a rocker switch. Rocker switches are usually used as power switches for electronic equipment and are widely used in homes, offices and industrial places.

[0003] In the related technology, a rocker switch includes a shell, a button is swingably connected to the shell, a conductive component is arranged in the button, a pin is arranged on the shell, the pin includes a first contact pin, a second contact pin and a third contact pin, and a connecting strip is arranged on the shell. When the button swings, the button abuts against the pin, and at this time the conductive component abuts against the connecting strip, thereby realizing the connection or disconnection of different circuits.

[0004] When the button swings, the conductive component contacts the pin to connect the circuit. If the swing spring or shell on the button is aged and deformed, it will affect the normal swing of the button. Therefore, there may be a gap between the conductive component and the connecting strip, making the connection between the conductive component and the connecting strip unstable, affecting the connection between the conductive component and the connecting strip, and thus affecting the normal use of the rocker switch. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problem of unstable connection between the connecting strip and the conductive component, the present application provides a boat-type switch.

[0006] The present application provides a rocker switch, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rocker switch comprises a shell, a button is swingably connected to the shell, a conductive component is arranged on the button, a pin is arranged on the shell, the pin comprises a first contact pin, a second contact pin and a third contact pin, a connecting sheet is arranged on the shell, a spring is arranged on the connecting sheet, when the button abuts against the pin, the conductive component abuts against the spring, and the spring is deformed.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the button is swung so that the button abuts against the first contact pin, the second contact pin or the third contact pin. At this time, the conductive component abuts against the reed to connect or disconnect the circuit. Since the reed is elastic and the reed is deformed at this time, if the button cannot swing normally, the reed can move toward the conductive component. At this time, the reed and the conductive component are still connected, so that the reed and the conductive component can be stably connected, so that the rocker switch can be used normally, thereby extending the service life of the rocker switch.

[0009] Optionally, the button includes a swing plate, a swing spring, a spring block and a rotating piece, the swing spring is arranged on the swing plate, the spring block is arranged on the swing spring, the swing spring drives the spring block to drive the rotating piece to swing, the conductive component is arranged on the swing plate, and the conductive component is connected to the swing spring, when the swing plate rotates, the swing plate drives the rotating piece to abut against the pin through the swing spring and the spring block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the swing plate rotates, and the swing spring is arranged on the swing plate, so that the swing spring drives the spring block to move, and the spring block drives the rotating plate to swing, and the rotating plate abuts against the first contact pin, the second contact pin or the third contact pin to realize the connection between the button and the pin. Since the conductive component is connected to the swing spring, the pin can be electrically connected to the spring through the conductive component and the spring.

[0011] Optionally, the conductive component includes a first conductive wire and an indicator light, the first conductive wire and the indicator light are connected, the first conductive wire and the indicator light are both arranged on a swing plate, a light-transmitting hole is opened on the swing plate, and the first conductive wire abuts against a swing spring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first conductive wire abuts against the swing spring, so that the swing spring can transfer electricity to the indicator light through the first conductive wire, thereby lighting up the indicator light. In addition, the light-transmitting hole on the swing plate allows people to observe the position of the button through the indicator light.

[0013] Optionally, the conductive component further includes a second conductive wire, the second conductive wire is connected to the indicator light, the second conductive wire extends out of the swing plate, and when the swing plate rotates, the second conductive wire is connected to the reed.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second conductive wire extends out of the swing plate, and when the swing plate rotates, the second conductive wire is connected to the spring sheet, thereby realizing electrical connection between the spring sheet and the pin.

[0015] Optionally, a receiving groove is provided on the swing plate, the swing spring is arranged in the swing spring groove, a through hole connected to the receiving groove is provided on the swing plate, and the first conductive wire is located in the through hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the swing spring is arranged in the accommodating groove, and the first conductive wire passes through the perforation. The first conductive wire is restricted by the wall of the perforation, so that the first conductive wire can be more stable in the accommodating groove, thereby making the connection between the first conductive wire and the swing spring more secure, preventing the swing spring from causing damage to the first conductive wire during the deformation process.

[0017] Optionally, a locking block is provided on the connecting piece, and a connecting hole for the connecting piece to pass through is opened on the shell. When the connecting piece is installed on the shell, the locking block is located in the shell and abuts against the shell.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking block is located in the shell and abuts the shell, so that the locking block cannot pass through the connecting hole, so that the connecting piece can be stably located on the shell and prevent the connecting piece from detaching from the shell.

[0019] Optionally, a fixing ring is rotatably connected to the shell, a locking hole is formed on the fixing ring for the locking block to pass through, and a through hole is formed on the shell for the locking block to pass through, and when the locking hole and the through hole are aligned, the locking block can be detached from the shell.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing ring is rotated on the shell so that the locking hole can be aligned with the through hole, and the locking block can be separated from the shell from the through hole and the locking hole, so that the connecting piece can be directly taken out from the shell. The staff does not need to remove the button from the shell and then take out the connecting piece, thereby reducing the operation steps for taking out the connecting piece; at the same time, the fixing ring is rotated to make the through hole and the locking hole misaligned, so that the fixing ring restricts the locking block to prevent the locking block from being separated from the shell, so that the connecting piece can be stably located on the shell.

[0021] Optionally, an elastic member is provided on the shell, a limiting plate is provided on the elastic member, a limiting block for inserting into the locking hole is provided on the limiting plate, and the elastic member drives the limiting block to be located in the locking hole.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, an elastic member is arranged on the shell, and the elastic member drives the limit plate to move, so that the limit block can be inserted into the locking hole. At this time, the limit block restricts the fixing ring, so that the fixing ring cannot rotate, so that the fixing ring can stably restrict the locking block, preventing people from accidentally touching the fixing ring and causing the connecting piece to detach from the shell.

[0023] Optionally, the limit block is slidably connected to a limit strip, and the shell is provided with a limit slot for inserting the limit strip. When the limit strip is inserted into the limit slot, the limit block is located in the locking hole.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit bar is slid on the limit block and inserted into the limit groove, so that the groove wall of the limit groove restricts the limit bar, so that the limit bar can be stably located in the locking groove, so that the elastic block cannot cause the limit block to be separated from the locking hole due to accidental touch, and the locking effect of the limit block on the fixing ring is further enhanced.

[0025] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. By swinging the button, the button abuts against the first contact pin, the second contact pin or the third contact pin. At this time, the conductive component abuts against the reed to connect or disconnect the circuit. Since the reed is elastic and deformed at this time, if the button cannot swing normally, the reed can move toward the conductive component. At this time, the reed and the conductive component are still connected, so that the reed and the conductive component can be stably connected, so that the rocker switch can be used normally, and the service life of the rocker switch is extended.

[0027] 2. The swing spring is arranged in the receiving groove, and the first conductive wire passes through the perforation. The first conductive wire is restricted by the wall of the perforation, so that the first conductive wire can be more stable in the receiving groove, thereby making the connection between the first conductive wire and the swing spring more secure, preventing the swing spring from damaging the first conductive wire during the deformation process.
