Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 4 This application is described in further detail.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses a feedback switch, including a feedback box 1, a cylinder 12 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the left end of the feedback box 1, the top of the cylinder 12 is connected to the bottom of the feedback box 1, a rotating shaft 9 is fixedly arranged at the top of the cylinder 12, a connecting rod 5 is fixedly arranged at the top of the rotating shaft 9, a feedback pointer 15 is clamped at the top of the connecting rod 5, and the feedback pointer 15 is installed on the rotating shaft 9, with a symmetrical 180° structure, and is set to be fixed. When the feedback box 1 is round, the pointer is also bent, and when the feedback box 1 is square, the pointer is a parallel structure. There is enough space between the feedback pointer 15 and the transparent shell to prevent the pointer and the shell from rubbing. A fixed outer plate 20 is fixedly arranged at the edge position of the top of the feedback box 1, and the four corners of the fixed outer plate 20 are all rounded, and the outer side of the arc is prevented from cutting the user when in use. The four corners of the fixed outer plate 20 are clamped by screws and are provided with sealing pads 2, and the sealing pads 2 increase the stability after the screws are installed. The area of ​​the fixed outer plate 20 is larger than the area of ​​the bottom feedback box 1.

[0026] A top cover plate 3 is fixedly provided on the top of the fixed outer plate 20, one end of the upper surface of the top cover plate 3 is provided with a connecting pad 8 by bolts and is connected to the top cover plate 3, an observation window 6 is fixedly slidably contacted on the top of the connecting pad 8, the observation window 6 is set to be circular, a card slot 21 is fixedly provided on the top of the inner wall of the observation window 6, which is engaged with the internal fasteners through the card slot 21, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the observation window 6, the inner wall of the card slot 21 is engaged with the protruding card rail on the upper surface of the top cover plate 3, the feedback indication window 7 on the outer side of the observation window 6 is set to be a circular cover window with alternating black and transparent colors, when the valve is closed, the CLOSE indication rotates to the transparent window, the card slot 21 is set to be concave inwardly in the shape of a "mouth", when the valve is opened, OPEN is connected to the valve shaft 9 and rotates to the transparent window, and the indication is more accurate.

[0027] A feedback indicating window 7 is rotatably provided on the outer side of the observation window 6 .

[0028] An external sleeve 10 is fixedly provided in the middle of one side of the inner wall of the feedback box 1, and the inner wall of the external sleeve 10 is slidably connected to the outer side of the inner tube 11. Limiting circular holes are fixedly provided near the bottom of the inner tube 11 and the external sleeve 10. The diameter of the limiting circular hole near the external sleeve 10 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting ball 16, and the outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter, so as to prevent the limiting ball 16 from excessively moving outward and detaching from the external sleeve 10, and ensure that the limiting ball 16 has stability while achieving the limiting effect. The diameter of the limiting circular hole at the position of the inner tube 11 is larger than the diameter of the limiting circular hole of the external sleeve 10, and the limiting ball 16 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the limiting circular hole at the position of the inner tube 11.

[0029] A top power round box 14 is fixedly provided on the top of the inner tube 11, and a return spring 19 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the top power round box 14. The middle part of the return spring 19 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod 13 near the top. After the return spring 19 is subjected to pressure, it is convenient to provide assistance for the reset of the sliding rod 13. The diameter of the top power round box 14 is larger than the inner ring diameter of the inner tube 11. The larger diameter of the top power round box 14 avoids falling into the inside of the outer sleeve 10, limits the downward position of the top power round box 14, and the bottom of the top power round box 14 is in sliding contact with the top of the outer sleeve 10.

[0030] A sliding rod 13 is slidably inserted in the middle of the top power round box 14, and two identical sliding grooves 18 are fixedly provided near the bottom of the sliding rod 13. When the sliding groove 18 moves to the position of the limiting ball 16, the limiting ball 16 moves toward the sliding rod 13, and the limiting ball 16 is freed from the restriction on the inner tube 11. The sliding grooves 18 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the round rod 17. The length of the sliding grooves 18 is the same as the diameter of the limiting ball 16, which facilitates the sliding of the limiting ball 16.

[0031] A round rod 17 is fixedly provided near the bottom of the slide rod 13 , the outer side of the round rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner tube 11 , and the top of the inner tube 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the pressing groove 4 fixedly provided at the bottom position of the top cover plate 3 .

[0032] The working principle of a feedback switch in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, a feedback indicator is installed on the valve body shaft 9, and a black and transparent feedback indicator window 7 is installed on the outside of the feedback box 1. When the valve is closed, the CLOSE indicator rotates to the transparent window. When the valve is open, the OPEN indicator is connected to the valve shaft 9 and rotates to the transparent window. An integrated indicator needle is installed on the shaft 9, which has a symmetrical 180° structure and is set to be fixed. When the feedback box 1 is round, the pointer is also bent. When the feedback box 1 is square, the pointer is in a parallel structure. There is enough space between the feedback pointer 15 and the transparent shell to prevent friction between the pointer and the shell. The shell is a transparent structure, and the internal structure can be observed through the observation window 6. There are switch marks and scales on the outer shell. When the valve is closed, the pointer turns to the closed scale, and when the valve is opened, the pointer turns to the open scale. When the top cover 3 needs to be assembled with the feedback box 1, the top cover 3 drives the slide rod 13 and the inner tube 11 to be inserted into the interior of the outer sleeve 10. When the round rod 17 at the bottom of the slide rod 13 contacts the limit ball 16, due to the larger diameter of the round rod 17, the two limit balls 16 move outward at the same time. When the round rod 17 moves to the bottom of the limit ball 16, the slide groove 18 above the round rod 17 is parallel to the limit ball 16, and the limit ball 16 moves inward. When the feedback switch is to be disassembled, the circular plate at the bottom of the slide groove 18 below the top cover plate 3 is slightly pulled upward to push the limiting ball 16 outward, so that the slide rod 13 can move upward, thereby moving the inner tube 11 away from the outer sleeve 10, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the feedback switch while avoiding damage to the switch.
