Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of switches, and in particular relates to a multi-gear adjustment mechanism and a switch. Background Art
[0002] A multi-position switch is a switch device that can adjust multiple different positions or positions. It is usually composed of a knob, a contact, and a position mechanism. By rotating the knob of the switch, you can select different positions to control the on and off state of the circuit. Different positions correspond to different functions or connection methods and are suitable for various circuit requirements. Multi-position switches are widely used in electronic equipment, household appliances, industrial control systems and other fields to meet different control needs.
[0003] The working principle of a multi-position switch is based on its internal mechanical structure and circuit design. When an external operating mechanism (such as a lever, knob, or slider) reaches a preset position, the contacts inside the switch change, thereby changing the state of the circuit. This change can be to connect or disconnect the circuit, depending on the design and configuration of the switch. A multi-position switch contains multiple contacts that are divided into several different parts, each of which can be independently operated. Therefore, when the external operating mechanism moves to a certain position, only the part of the contacts related to this position will change, while the other parts remain unchanged. This design allows the multi-position switch to control multiple circuits in one action, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of the system.
[0004] The rotating mechanism is the core of the multi-position switch, which is usually designed with a wheel or gear structure to ensure that the knob position can stay in a specific position of the gear, representing a gear. The shape, size and feel of the knob need to be considered during the design to provide a good operating experience. The design of the pin and slot is the key to keeping the terminal block in a specific position. Each gear corresponds to a slot on the terminal block, and the pin will bounce into these slots to prevent the terminal from rotating randomly. The spring system affects the rebound speed and feel of the knob. The use of a sophisticated spring design can improve the responsiveness and interactivity of the button, ensuring that the user feels smooth and accurate during operation. The contact design is a set of contacts, and each gear has a set of electrical contacts that connect to the circuit of the device. These contacts can be fixed metal contacts or contacts that move by the rotation of the knob. Optimizing the contact design can improve the stability and reliability of the switch.
[0005] In the prior art, each gear of a multi-position switch corresponds to an independent electrical contact arranged circumferentially. Therefore, the number of gears of the switch is affected by its volume. The larger the knob radius, the greater the number of electrical contacts and the richer the functions of the switch. However, large-volume multi-position switches are easily affected by the installation environment and cannot be adapted to equipment with a smaller installation space, resulting in a decrease in the practicality of the switch, which urgently needs to be improved.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a switch is provided, which includes a multi-speed adjustment mechanism, a base and connecting pins, the base is provided with a mounting cavity, the connecting pins are in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of connecting pins are respectively arranged on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity, and the ends of the connecting pins pass through the mounting cavity and extend to the outside of the base.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a switch is provided, which includes a multi-speed adjustment mechanism 100, a base 200 and a connecting pin 300, wherein the base 200 is provided with a mounting cavity 400, and the connecting pins 300 are in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of connecting pins 300 are respectively arranged on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 400, and the ends of the connecting pins 300 pass through the mounting cavity 400 and extend to the outside of the base 200.
[0041] The multi-speed adjustment mechanism 100 includes a knob 110 and an elastic component 120, the knob 110 is rotatably connected to the base 200, one end of the knob 110 extends outside the base 200, and the other end of the knob 110 is located in the mounting cavity 400, and an abutment protrusion 500 is provided at the end of the knob 110 located in the mounting cavity 400; at least two groups of movable spring sheets 600 are provided on the elastic component 120; the abutment protrusion 500 can move circumferentially with the rotating knob 110, and all the movable spring sheets 600 are located on the moving path of the abutment protrusion 500, and the abutment protrusion 500 can drive a group of movable spring sheets 600 to move toward the electrical contact during the movement; or the abutment protrusion 500 can simultaneously drive at least two groups of movable spring sheets 600 to move toward the electrical contact during the movement.
[0042] The operator drives the knob 110 to rotate, so that the abutting protrusion 500 at the end of the knob 110 rotates and moves circumferentially along a preset path. During the movement, the abutting protrusion 500 can drive different movable spring pieces 600 to move at a time, drive two groups of movable spring pieces 600 at different positions to move at the same time, and drive more than two groups of movable spring pieces 600 at different positions to move at the same time to perform multi-gear adjustment; for example, the number of movable spring pieces 600 is three groups;
[0043] Method 1: The contacting protrusion 500 drives a group of movable springs 600 to move independently, which is regarded as one gear adjustment. This method can adjust the gear three times in total.
[0044] Method 2: The abutting protrusion 500 drives any two groups of movable spring sheets 600 to move at the same time, which is regarded as one gear adjustment; the abutting protrusion 500 drives three groups of movable spring sheets 600 to move at the same time, which is regarded as one gear adjustment; this method can adjust the gear four times in total.
[0045] Method 1 and method 2 can be integrated into one switch at the same time, that is, three groups of movable spring pieces 600 can realize seven groups of gear adjustment; compared with the multi-gear switch in the prior art, which is larger in size and easily affected by the installation environment, and cannot be adapted to equipment with a smaller installation space, resulting in a technical problem of reduced practicality of the switch, the multi-gear adjustment mechanism 100 and the switch provided by the embodiment of the utility model increase the number of gears by increasing the number of spring pieces driven by the abutting protrusion 500 in a single time, so that the driving instructions of the movable spring pieces 600 in different positions and different numbers can correspond to different gears, effectively avoiding the situation in which the traditional multi-gear switch increases the number of gears by increasing the number of spring pieces, resulting in a lack of practicality, and effectively realizing the structural optimization of the multi-gear adjustment mechanism 100 and the switch, and improving the practicality of the multi-gear adjustment mechanism 100 and the switch.
[0046] In another embodiment of the utility model, the elastic component 120 includes a substrate 121 and a normally closed spring 122, the normally closed spring 122 is arranged at the center of the substrate 121, the end of the normally closed spring 122 is protruded away from the knob 110, the end of the movable spring 600 is fixedly connected to the substrate 121, the end of the movable spring 600 away from the substrate 121 is provided with an abutting contact 610, and the movable spring 600 is provided with a bent convex contact 620 protruding toward the knob 110, and all the bent convex contacts 620 are located on the moving path of the abutting protrusion 500. The use of the bent convex contact 620 structure can ensure that the abutting protrusion 500 can abut against the movable spring 600 and achieve a driving effect.
[0047] In this embodiment, the abutting contact 610, the bent convex contact 620, the movable spring piece 600, the normally closed spring piece 122 and the substrate 121 are all integrally formed by stamping and casting of conductive metal. The substrate 121 is arranged in a flat plate structure. The number of the movable spring pieces 600 is four groups, and the number of the normally closed spring pieces 122 is one group. Correspondingly, the number of the connecting pins 300 is five groups. The four groups of movable spring pieces 600 are respectively located on one side of the corresponding connecting pins 300, and the normally closed spring piece 122 is always in abutment with the corresponding connecting pin 300 for powering on; the bent convex contact 620 can drive the movable spring piece 600 to move after being driven by the abutting protrusion 500. After the movable spring piece 600 is driven by the abutting protrusion 500, the corresponding abutting contact 610 can abut with the connecting pin 300, so that the connecting pins 300 corresponding to the normally closed spring piece 122 and the movable spring piece 600 are energized. The contact bump 500 does not participate in the electrical transfer in the whole process, and the electrons only move through the normally closed spring 122, the substrate 121, the movable spring 600 and the pins, thereby effectively reducing the power loss.

When the knob 110 is rotated to one gear, the limiting protrusion 211 moves from the original slot 111 and is engaged in the adjacent slot 111. The limiting ring 210 structure is advantageous in improving the stability of the knob 110 after the gear is adjusted. The knob 110 is loosened to jump the gear. At the same time, it can generate physical feedback to the user and optimize the switch usage experience.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first abutment portion 510 and the second abutment portion 520 are spaced apart around the center of the rotation path of the knob 110, and the first abutment portion 510 has a certain length so that after first contacting the corresponding bending convex contact 620, it can maintain the abutment effect with the bending convex contact 620 during the rotation of the knob 110 until the second abutment portion 520 contacts the corresponding bending convex contact 620; the second abutment portion 520 has a preset length so that during the rotation of the knob 110, even after the first abutment portion 510 and the corresponding bending convex contact 620 are released from the abutment state, it still maintains the abutment state with the corresponding bending convex contact 620.
[0052] In another embodiment of the present invention, the abutting protrusion 500 includes a first abutting portion 510 and a second abutting portion 520 , wherein the first abutting portion 510 can only drive a single group of movable elastic sheets 600 to move, and the second abutting portion 520 can simultaneously drive at least two groups of movable elastic sheets 600 to move.
