Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical switches, and more specifically, it relates to a 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. The toggle switch is widely used in product control devices such as electronic products, audio equipment, telephones, communication equipment, anti-theft equipment, and electronic toys. However, the existing toggle switch lacks a limiting device for the push block, resulting in the push rod being prone to large-amplitude up-and-down swings during pushing. The large-amplitude up-and-down swing of the push block easily causes the position of the slider in contact with the terminal to shift, thereby affecting the normal operation of the toggle switch. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a toggle switch, which includes a bottom plate and an iron shell covering the top of the bottom plate. A plurality of groups of pins are vertically inserted on the bottom plate, and each group of pins is symmetrically distributed. An avoidance limiting groove is formed on the side of the iron shell, and the avoidance limiting groove penetrates through the side of the iron shell. A rubber handle is horizontally arranged inside the iron shell. One end of the rubber handle penetrates through the iron shell through the avoidance limiting groove, and the rubber handle moves horizontally in the avoidance limiting groove and is movable on the top of the bottom plate. A contact piece is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the rubber handle, and the contact piece moves synchronously with the rubber handle. The contact piece is in contact with different groups of pins through the rubber handle respectively.
[0004] Preferably, an elastic member is horizontally arranged inside the rubber handle, and the elastic member moves synchronously with the rubber handle. A glass bead is arranged at one end of the elastic member. The glass bead penetrates through the rubber handle and moves synchronously with the elastic member. A plurality of card slots matching with the glass bead are horizontally formed on the side of the iron shell, and the width of the card slot is smaller than the diameter of the glass bead. By driving the elastic member together with the glass bead to move through the rubber handle, the glass bead can be clamped into card slots at different positions, thereby driving the elastic member to perform elastic movement inside the rubber handle.
[0005] Preferably, receiving grooves are horizontally formed on both sides of the bottom of the rubber handle, and the contact piece is vertically located in the receiving grooves. Both sides of the contact piece are elastically abutted and limited with both sides inside the receiving grooves. Through the mutual cooperation of the contact piece and the receiving grooves, the contact piece can be fixed on the rubber handle and move synchronously with the rubber handle.
[0006] Preferably, first clamping positions are respectively arranged at both ends of the iron shell, and second clamping positions that are clamped and matched with the first clamping positions are respectively arranged at both ends of the bottom plate. Through the mutual cooperation between the first clamping position and the second clamping position, the iron shell can be fixed on the bottom plate.
[0007] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0008] 1. One end of the rubber handle passes through the bottom plate via a clearance limiting groove, allowing the operator to push one end of the rubber handle outside the bottom plate, thereby driving the rubber handle to move horizontally on the top of the bottom plate, which can effectively improve the safety of this embodiment.
[0009] 2. By setting the clearance limiting groove, the swinging space of the rubber handle up and down can be limited, preventing the rubber handle from swinging significantly during movement, and the position of the contact piece will not shift. Moreover, when the rubber handle 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 rubber handle. When the rubber handle 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 rubber handle, thereby realizing the limitation of the horizontal movement distance of the rubber handle by the clearance limiting groove, effectively solving the technical problem that the existing toggle switch lacks a limiting device for the push block, resulting in the situation that the push rod is prone to swing significantly up and down when pushed, and the large up and down swing of the push block easily causes the position of the slider in contact with the terminal to shift, thereby affecting the normal operation of the toggle switch.
[0010] 3. During the movement of the rubber handle, the glass beads will be caught in the corresponding card slots. In addition, during the movement of the glass beads, they will simultaneously squeeze the elastic member. After being squeezed by the glass beads, the elastic member will perform elastic movement inside the rubber handle, thereby generating an elastic restoring force and reacting on the glass beads. Under the reaction of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member, the glass beads can be pressed tightly against the card slots and generate resistance, enabling the user to determine whether the contact piece has moved in place and whether the gear shift is successful through this resistance while performing multi-gear switching, effectively avoiding the occurrence of poor contact and inaccurate control.

[0019] A toggle switch, see Figures 1 to 3, including a bottom plate 1 and an iron shell 2 covering the top of the bottom plate 1. A number of groups of pins 3 are vertically inserted on the bottom plate 1, and each group of pins 3 is symmetrically distributed. An avoidance limiting groove 4 is formed on the side of the iron shell 2, and the avoidance limiting groove 4 penetrates through the side of the iron shell 2. A rubber handle 5 is horizontally arranged inside the iron shell 2. One end of the rubber handle 5 penetrates through the iron shell 2 through the avoidance limiting groove 4, and the rubber handle 5 moves horizontally in the avoidance limiting groove 4 and is movable on the top of the bottom plate 1. A contact piece 6 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the rubber handle 5, and the contact piece 6 moves synchronously with the rubber handle 5. The contact piece 6 contacts different groups of pins 3 through the rubber handle 5 respectively. In this embodiment, one end of the rubber handle 5 penetrates through the bottom plate 1 through the avoidance limiting groove 4, which enables the operator to push one end of the rubber handle 5 outside the bottom plate 1 to move, thereby driving the rubber handle 5 to move horizontally on the top of the bottom plate 1, which can effectively improve the safety of this embodiment. And by setting the avoidance limiting groove 4, the swinging space of the rubber handle 5 up and down can be limited to prevent the rubber handle 5 from swinging greatly during the movement, and the position of the contact piece 6 will not shift. And when the rubber handle 5 moves horizontally to the left by a certain distance, the left side of the avoidance limiting groove 4 will abut against the left side of the rubber handle 5. When the rubber handle 5 moves horizontally to the right by a certain distance, the right side of the avoidance limiting groove 4 will abut against the right side of the rubber handle 5, so as to realize the limitation of the horizontal movement distance of the rubber handle 5 by the avoidance limiting groove 4, effectively solving the technical problem that the existing toggle switch lacks a limiting device for the push block, resulting in the situation that the push rod is prone to swing greatly up and down when pushing, and the large up and down swing of the push block easily causes the position of the slider in contact with the terminal to shift, thereby affecting the normal operation of the toggle switch. In this embodiment, the number of pins 3 can be selected according to the actual on-site requirements and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0020] An elastic member 7 is horizontally arranged inside the rubber handle 5, and the elastic member 7 moves synchronously with the rubber handle 5. One end of the elastic member 7 is provided with a glass bead 8. The glass bead 8 penetrates through the rubber handle 5 and moves synchronously with the elastic member 7. A plurality of card slots 9 that cooperate with the glass bead 8 are horizontally formed on the side of the iron shell 2. The width of the card slot 9 is smaller than the diameter of the glass bead 8. By driving the elastic member 7 together with the glass bead 8 to move through the rubber handle 5, the glass bead 8 can be snapped into the card slots 9 at different positions, thereby driving the elastic member 7 to perform elastic movement inside the rubber handle 5. In this embodiment, first, the circuits to be connected are respectively fixed on the two groups of pins 3, and then the rubber handle 5 is horizontally moved. The two ends of the contact piece 6 are respectively in contact with the sides of different groups of pins 3, so as to energize the circuits inserted on the two groups of pins 3. During the movement of the rubber handle 5, the glass bead 8 will be snapped into the corresponding card slot 9. In addition, the glass bead 8 will synchronously extrude the elastic member 7 during the movement. After being extruded by the glass bead 8, the elastic member 7 will perform elastic movement inside the rubber handle 5, thereby generating an elastic restoring force and reacting on the glass bead 8. Under the reaction of the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 7, the glass bead 8 can be pressed tightly on the card slot 9 and generate resistance, so that the user can determine whether the contact piece 6 has moved in place and whether the gear has been shifted successfully while performing multi-gear switching, effectively avoiding the occurrence of poor contact and inaccurate control. The design that the width of the card slot 9 is smaller than the diameter of the glass bead 8 can prevent the whole glass bead 8 from being snapped into the card slot 9, thus avoiding the situation that it is difficult to disengage from the card slot 9, effectively improving the practicability of this product.
[0021] Receiving grooves 10 are horizontally formed on both sides of the bottom of the rubber handle 5 respectively. The contact piece 6 is vertically located in the receiving grooves 10, and both sides of the contact piece 6 are elastically abutted and limited with the two sides inside the receiving grooves 10 respectively. Through the mutual cooperation of the contact piece 6 and the receiving grooves 10, the contact piece 6 can be fixed on the rubber handle 5 and move synchronously with the rubber handle 5. In this embodiment, the contact piece 6 is a clip member. By driving the two sides of the contact piece 6 to approach each other, the contact piece 6 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the contact piece 6 can be vertically placed in the receiving groove 10. When the acting force applied to the contact piece 6 disappears, the contact piece 6 synchronously generates an elastic restoring force, and the two sides of the contact piece 6 are reset to the initial state under the action of the elastic restoring force, so as to be elastically abutted and limited with the two sides inside the receiving groove 10, thereby enabling the contact piece 6 to be fixed on the rubber handle 5 and move synchronously with the rubber handle 5.
[0022] First clamping positions 11 are respectively arranged at both ends of the iron shell 2, and second clamping positions 12 that are clamped and matched with the first clamping positions 11 are respectively arranged at both ends of the bottom plate 1. Through the mutual cooperation between the first clamping positions 11 and the second clamping positions 12, the iron shell 2 can be fixed on the bottom plate 1.
