DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the self-locking structure of the electric tool switch includes a housing 1, a switch button 2 and a self-locking mechanism 3.

[0027] Further, the switch button 2 is built into the housing 1, a positioning plate 4 is installed inside the switch button 2, a slide groove is provided on both outer walls of the switch button 2, a through hole is provided on the switch button 2 for matching with the connecting rod 301; side plates 5 are installed at both ends of the switch button 2, positioning holes are provided on both side plates 5, and second springs 6 are installed on both side plates 5;

[0028] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, a connecting hole is provided on the positioning plate 4 for matching the connecting rod 301, and a groove is provided in the connecting hole for matching the protrusion 305; two first baffles 401 are installed at one end of the positioning plate 4, and two second baffles 402 are installed at the other end of the positioning plate 4.

[0029] The two first baffles 401 and the two second baffles 402 block the movement of the protrusion 305, thereby positioning the rotation of the connecting rod 301 so that the protrusion 305 corresponds to the groove or deviates from the groove.

[0030] Furthermore, a first fixing plate 7 is installed in the outer shell 1, and the first fixing plate 7 is connected to one of the second springs 6. A first sliding rod 8 is installed on the first fixing plate 7, and the first sliding rod 8 is slidably set in one of the positioning holes. A second fixing plate 9 is installed in the outer shell 1, and the second fixing plate 9 is connected to another second spring 6. A second sliding rod 10 is installed on the second fixing plate 9, and the second sliding rod 10 is slidably set in another positioning hole.

[0031] The first slide bar 8 and the second slide bar 10 cooperate with the positioning holes on the two side plates 5 to limit the movement trajectory of the switch button 2 to prevent the switch button 2 from being offset.

[0032] Further, such as Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the self-locking mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 301, a mounting ring 302, a locking ball 303 and a first spring 304, wherein a protrusion 305 is fixedly provided on the connecting rod 301, an operating rod 306 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 301, a support plate 307 is fixedly provided on the mounting ring 302, and the support plate 307 is installed in the housing 1, a slot is provided in the mounting ring 302, a hemispherical groove is provided on the connecting rod 301, one end of the first spring 304 is installed in the slot, and the other end of the first spring 304 is connected to the locking ball 303, the locking ball 303 is slidably set in the slot, and the locking ball 303 is set in the hemispherical groove.

[0033] Specifically, there are four slots, which are distributed in a circular array in the mounting ring 302, and there are four first springs 304 and four locking balls 303, which are installed in the four slots;

[0034] The number of the hemispherical grooves is four, which are distributed on the connecting rod 301 in a circular array.

[0035] The self-locking structure of the electric tool switch works as follows:

[0036] Initially, it is in the anti-self-locking state, that is, the protrusion 305 is on the positioning plate 4, and the positions of the protrusion 305 and the groove do not correspond;

[0037] At this time, when you need to use power tools:

[0038] The operating rod 306 is rotated to drive the connecting rod 301 to rotate, and the protrusion 305 on it is driven to move, so that the protrusion 305 contacts the other baffle. At this time, the protrusion 305 corresponds to the position of the groove. When the connecting rod 301 rotates, the locking ball 303 is simultaneously subjected to force, moves toward the inside of the slot and squeezes the first spring 304, until the connecting rod 301 stops rotating, the slot corresponds to the position of the hemispherical slot again, and the locking ball 303 is pushed under the force of the first spring 304, and the locking ball 303 is pushed into the hemispherical slot to lock the connecting rod 301;

[0039] At this time, the switch button 2 can be pressed. When the switch button 2 is pressed, the support plate 307 slides in the slide groove. After pressing the switch button 2, the operating rod 306 is reversed, and the above movement is repeated in the opposite direction. Then, the protrusion 305 is under the positioning plate 4, and the switch button 2 is self-locked.

[0040] After use, rotate the operating rod 306 to make the position of the protrusion 305 correspond to the groove again, push the side plate 5 under the action of the second spring 6, and then drive the switch button 2 to reset, and the protrusion 305 returns to the top of the positioning plate 4, and rotate the operating rod 306 again to perform anti-self-locking.
