Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electrical switches. More specifically, it relates to a five-position toggle switch. Background Art

[0002] A toggle switch is used to connect or disconnect a circuit by toggling a switch handle, so as to achieve the purpose of switching the circuit. With the rapid development of technology and the improvement of people's living standards, the application of toggle switches is becoming more and more extensive, and the types of toggle switches are also constantly increasing. Among them, there is a five-position toggle switch. After research, there are certain drawbacks in the existing five-position toggle switches when in use. For example, the existing five-position toggle switch directly utilizes the elastic characteristics of the contact piece, directly elastically clamps the contact piece in the insulating block, and drives the contact piece to move through the insulating block, so that the contact piece contacts the terminals at different positions, thereby realizing the gear switching of the toggle switch. However, in the above design, there is a lack of a fixing device between the insulating block and the contact piece, which causes the contact piece to fall off under the drive of the insulating block, thereby affecting the normal use of the toggle switch. There are also some toggle switches that directly weld the contact piece to the insulating block. Such a design will result in the need to replace the contact piece and the insulating block together when a certain part is damaged, which is likely to cause waste of resources. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a five-position toggle switch, including a rubber base and a steel cover covering the top of the rubber base. A first contact point is provided on the top of the steel cover, and the first contact point extends vertically into the steel cover. A rubber handle is horizontally movably arranged on the rubber base, and one end of the rubber handle penetrates through the rubber base, and five second contact points in contact with the first contact point are horizontally distributed on the top of the rubber handle. Installation columns are vertically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the rubber handle, and contact pieces are horizontally clamped on the installation columns, and the contact pieces move synchronously with the rubber handle through the installation columns. A plurality of groups of pins are vertically arranged inside the rubber base, and the tops of the pins are buried inside the rubber base, and the bottoms of the pins penetrate through the rubber base. The groups of pins are symmetrically distributed, and the two ends of the contact piece are respectively in contact with the tops of different groups of pins.

[0004] Preferably, a guiding strip is formed inside the rubber base, and the guiding strip is horizontally located between each group of pins. A guiding groove that movably cooperates with the guiding strip is formed at the bottom of the rubber handle, and the guiding groove is horizontally located between the installation columns. Through the mutual cooperation between the guiding groove and the guiding strip, the rubber handle moves more smoothly and steadily on the rubber base.

[0005] Preferably, first clamping positions are respectively arranged at both ends of the steel cover, and second clamping positions that are clamped and cooperated with the first clamping positions are respectively arranged at both ends of the rubber base. Through the cooperation between the first clamping position and the second clamping position, the steel cover can be fixed on the rubber base.

[0006] Preferably, an avoidance limiting groove is formed on the side of the rubber base, and one end of the rubber handle penetrates through the rubber base through the avoidance limiting groove, and the rubber handle moves horizontally in the avoidance limiting groove, so that the avoidance limiting groove can limit the horizontal movement distance of the rubber handle.

[0007] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0008] Fix the circuits to be connected on the two groups of pins respectively, and then move the rubber handle horizontally. The two ends of the contact piece are driven by the rubber handle to contact the tops of different groups of pins, so as to energize the circuits fixed on the two groups of pins. During the movement of the rubber handle, the second contact points at different positions on the top of the rubber handle contact the first contact points on the top of the steel cover, thereby realizing the effect of five-stage toggle switching. And the contact piece is clamped on the mounting post, so that the position of the contact piece is limited and fixed, which can prevent the contact piece from falling off during the movement of the rubber handle. And the detachable design of the rubber handle and the contact piece can also be replaced separately when one of the parts is damaged, effectively solving the technical problem that there is no fixing device between the insulating block and the contact piece in the existing five-stage toggle switch, so that the contact piece will fall off driven by the insulating block, thus affecting the normal use of the toggle switch. There are also some toggle switches that directly weld the contact piece to the insulating block. Such a design will cause the contact piece and the insulating block to be replaced together when a certain part is damaged, which is easy to cause waste of resources. Description of the Drawings

[0017] A five - position toggle switch, see Figures 1 to 3, including a rubber base 1 and a steel cover 2 covering the top of the rubber base 1. A first contact point 3 is provided on the top of the steel cover 2, and the first contact point 3 extends vertically into the steel cover 2. A rubber handle 4 is horizontally movably arranged on the rubber base 1, and one end of the rubber handle 4 penetrates through the rubber base 1. Five second contact points 5 in contact and cooperation with the first contact point 3 are horizontally distributed on the top of the rubber handle 4. Installation columns 6 are vertically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the rubber handle 4, and contact pieces 7 are horizontally clamped on the installation columns 6. The contact pieces 7 move synchronously with the rubber handle 4 through the installation columns 6. A plurality of groups of pins 8 are vertically arranged inside the rubber base 1. The top of the pins 8 is buried inside the rubber base 1, and the bottom of the pins 8 penetrates through the rubber base 1. Each group of pins 8 is symmetrically distributed, and both ends of the contact piece 7 are in contact with the tops of different groups of pins 8. In this embodiment, first, the circuits to be connected are respectively fixed on two groups of pins 8, and then the rubber handle 4 is horizontally moved. Both ends of the contact piece 7 are driven by the rubber handle 4 to be in contact with the tops of different groups of pins 8, so as to energize the circuits fixed on the two groups of pins 8. During the movement of the rubber handle 4, the second contact points 5 at different positions on the top of the rubber handle 4 are in contact with the first contact point 3 on the top of the steel cover 2, thereby realizing the effect of five - gear toggle switching. And the contact piece 7 is clamped on the installation column 6, so that the position of the contact piece 7 is limited and fixed, which can prevent the contact piece 7 from falling off during the movement of the rubber handle 4. And the detachable design of the rubber handle 4 and the contact piece 7 can also be replaced separately when one of the parts is damaged, effectively solving the technical problem that in the existing five - gear toggle switch, there is no fixing device between the insulating block and the contact piece 7, so that the contact piece 7 will fall off under the drive of the insulating block, thus affecting the normal use of the toggle switch. There are also some toggle switches that directly weld the contact piece 7 to the insulating block. Such a design will cause the contact piece 7 and the insulating block to be replaced together when a certain part is damaged, which is likely to cause waste of resources. In this embodiment, the bottom shape of the pins 8 can be one of the plug - in type or the surface - mounted type, but the bottom shape of the pins 8 needs to be selected according to the actual on - site requirements and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0018] A guiding strip 11 is formed inside the rubber base 1, and the guiding strip 11 is horizontally located between each group of pins 8. A guiding groove 12 that movably cooperates with the guiding strip 11 is formed at the bottom of the rubber handle 4, and the guiding groove 12 is horizontally located between the installation columns 6. Through the mutual cooperation between the guiding groove 12 and the guiding strip 11, the rubber handle 4 can move more smoothly and steadily on the rubber base 1.

[0019] First clamping positions 9 are respectively arranged at both ends of the steel cover 2, and second clamping positions 10 that are clamped and cooperate with the first clamping positions 9 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rubber base 1. Through the cooperation between the first clamping positions 9 and the second clamping positions 10, the steel cover 2 can be fixed on the rubber base 1.

[0020] A clearance-limiting groove is formed on the side of the glue seat 1, and one end of the glue handle 4 passes through the glue seat 1 through the clearance-limiting groove, and the glue handle 4 moves horizontally within the clearance-limiting groove, so that the clearance-limiting groove can limit the horizontal movement distance of the glue handle 4. In this embodiment, one end of the glue handle 4 passes through the glue seat 1 through the clearance-limiting groove, which allows the operator to push one end of the glue handle 4 outside the glue seat 1, thereby driving the glue handle 4 to move horizontally on the glue seat 1, which can effectively improve the safety of this embodiment. And when the glue handle 4 moves horizontally to the left by a certain distance, the left side of the clearance-limiting groove will abut against the left side of the glue handle 4. When the glue handle 4 moves horizontally to the right by a certain distance, the right side of the clearance-limiting groove will abut against the right side of the glue handle 4, so as to realize the limitation of the horizontal movement distance of the glue handle 4 by the clearance-limiting groove.

[0021] The above embodiments are only explanations of the present application, and they do not limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions according to needs after reading this specification, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
