[0002] For the existing wall switches, in order to reduce the swing angle of the switch button, the height of the swing piece is increased to reduce the swing angle. However, this method will increase the overall volume of the switch, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the wall switch. At the same time, due to the increase in the height of the swing piece, the manufacturing cost of the switch will also increase, and the operating feel may not be good. Or the structure on the swing piece is torn to increase the thickness of the swing piece. It is not easy to control the symmetry of the torn swing piece, and metal fatigue may occur during the tearing process, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the swing piece and a reduction in the service life. Therefore, how to achieve the miniaturization design of the switch while ensuring a small swing angle, improve the manufacturing cost-effectiveness of the switch, and ensure the mechanical strength and service life of the swing piece has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the specification drawings.

[0023] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0024] As attached Figures 1-6 shown, the present invention discloses a small swing angle wall switch, including a switch base 1 and a panel assembly. A swing piece body 2 is arranged in the switch base 1. The panel assembly has a swing piece connection end 3. The swing piece connection end 3 extends into the switch base 1 to be connected with the swing piece body 2. A flared opening 4 is formed on the swing piece connection end 3. First thickening structures 5 and second thickening structures 6 are respectively protruded on both end faces in the thickness direction of the swing piece body 2. The first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6 are respectively in contact with the opposite inner walls of the flared opening 4. Specifically, in this design, by respectively adding the first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6 in the thickness direction on both sides of the swing piece body 2, such a design not only enhances the strength and stability of the swing piece body 2, but also ensures a more firm connection between the swing piece connection end 3 and the swing piece body 2. Moreover, the panel assembly includes a switch button 7, a switch panel 8 and a swing member 9. The switch panel 8 is fixed on the switch base 1. The swing member 9 extends into the switch base 1 to be connected with the swing piece body 2. The flared opening 4 is formed on the swing member 9. The switch button 7 is fixed at a position of the swing member 9 outside the switch base 1. The settings of the first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6 can adapt to the shape of the flared opening 4 on the swing member 9, reducing the movable swing angle space between the swing piece body 2 and the inner wall of the flared opening 4, so that the swing angle changes from >4° to 1-3°, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the wall switch and meeting the requirements of modern home for simple and thin design. At the same time, this small swing angle design also brings convenience and accuracy in operation. Users can easily and accurately control the state of the switch, improving the use experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the swinging piece body 2 has a support portion 10, a contact mounting portion 11, and a swinging piece connecting portion 12. The contact mounting portion 11 and the swinging piece connecting portion 12 protrude and are formed at both ends of the top of the support portion 10. The first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6 are respectively in contact with the two side end faces of the swinging piece body 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support portion 10 serves as the main body portion of the swinging piece body 2, which not only provides stable support for the overall structure but also ensures that the contact mounting portion 11 and the swinging piece connecting portion 12 can be firmly connected thereto. The design of the contact mounting portion 11 enables the contacts of the switch to be stably and accurately mounted on the swinging piece body 2, ensuring the normal operation of the switch. At the same time, the design of the swinging piece connecting portion 12 enables the swinging piece body 2 to be tightly connected to the swinging member 9, ensuring stability and reliability during the switch operation. And, in this design, since the first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6 are added on both sides of the swinging piece body 2, the spring 13 between the swinging piece body 2 and the swinging member 9 can be freely sleeved on the swinging piece connecting portion 12, and the bottom end of the spring 13 is supported by the first thickening structure 5 and the second thickening structure 6. Such a design not only enhances the stability of the spring 13 but also prevents the spring 13 from loosening or falling off during long-term use.

[0026] Furthermore, the first thickening structure 5 is formed by extending from the side of the swinging piece connecting portion 12 away from the contact mounting portion 11 and bending towards the contact mounting portion 11, and the first thickening structure 5 abuts against the contact mounting portion 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, with the shape formed by the first thickening structure 5 extending from the swinging piece connecting portion 12 and bending towards the contact mounting portion 11, the first thickening structure 5 can closely fit against the side of the contact mounting portion 11, forming a stable support structure for the convenient installation of the spring 13. At the same time, the presence of the first thickening structure 5 also enhances the connection strength between the swinging piece body 2 and the swinging member 9. Since the first thickening structure 5 is directly in contact with the inner wall of the bell mouth 4 of the swinging member 9, it can effectively bear the forces generated during the operation of the swinging member 9 and evenly disperse these forces to various parts of the swinging piece body 2, thus avoiding the situation of the swinging piece body 2 being damaged due to uneven force, and cooperating with the second thickening structure 6 to reduce the swinging angle of the swinging piece body 2 within the bell mouth 4, thereby achieving the design goal of a small swinging angle.

[0027] Reference appendix Figure 3, in one embodiment, the second thickening structure 6 protrudes from one side of the support portion 10 and bends toward the upper portion of the support portion 10 at a position between the contact mounting portion 11 and the ornament connecting portion 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the second thickening structure 6 cleverly combines the stability of the support portion 10 with the functionality of the swing piece body 2. It protrudes from one side of the support portion 10 and bends toward the upper portion of the support portion 10, that is, at a position between the contact mounting portion 11 and the ornament connecting portion 12. Such a design enables the second thickening structure 6 to not only enhance the overall strength of the swing piece body 2 but also cooperate with the first thickening structure 5 to jointly reduce the movable space of the swing piece connecting end 3 within the bell mouth 4, thereby achieving the design goal of a small swing angle.

[0028] Reference appendix Figure 4 , in one embodiment, a reinforcing end 14 protrudes from the side end surface of the ornament connecting portion 12 close to the second thickening structure 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the reinforcing end 14 further enhances the connection strength between the swing piece body 2 and the swinging member 9. The reinforcing end 14 not only provides an additional support area but also enables the ornament connecting portion 12 to more effectively disperse stress when subjected to an external force, preventing damage caused by stress concentration.

[0029] Reference appendix Figure 5 , in one embodiment, the support portion 10 protrudes toward the position between the contact mounting portion 11 and the ornament connecting portion 12 to form a support connecting portion 15, a punching hole 16 is formed on the support portion 10, the second thickening structure 6 is disposed above the punching hole 16, and the second thickening structure 6 is formed by bending the portion of the support portion 10 above the punching hole 16 toward the support connecting portion 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the support connecting portion 15 makes the structure of the swing piece body 2 more reasonable and stable. The support connecting portion 15 formed by the support portion 10 protruding toward the position between the contact mounting portion 11 and the ornament connecting portion 12 not only enhances the overall strength of the swing piece body 2 but also enables the swing piece body 2 to more effectively disperse stress when subjected to an external force, improving its impact resistance and compressive resistance. At the same time, the design of the punching hole 16 not only reduces the weight of the swing piece body 2 but also enables the remaining portion of the support portion 10 after punching to be directly bent to form the second thickening structure 6, simplifying the processing technology and reducing the production cost. Such a design not only maintains the structural stability of the swing piece body 2 but also makes full use of the space, making the connection between the swing piece body 2 and the swinging member 9 more compact and further enhancing the reliability of the connection.

[0030] Reference appendix Figure 6, in one embodiment, the second thickening structure 6 extends from the side of the contact mounting portion 11 away from the ornament connecting portion 12 and bends towards the side of the ornament connecting portion 12 away from the first thickening structure 5, and the second thickening structure 6 is flush with the side of the ornament connecting portion 12 away from the contact mounting portion 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, this design method of the second thickening structure 6 further optimizes the structural layout of the swing piece body 2. It extends from one side of the contact mounting portion 11 and bends towards the side of the ornament connecting portion 12 away from the first thickening structure 5, so that the second thickening structure 6 can be more closely attached to the side of the ornament connecting portion 12 to form a continuous support surface. Such a design not only enhances the connection stability between the swing piece body 2 and the swinging member 9, but also enables the swing piece body 2 to more effectively disperse stress when subjected to external forces, improving the service life of the swing piece body 2. At the same time, since the second thickening structure 6 is flush with the side of the ornament connecting portion 12 away from the contact mounting portion 11, this design can further enhance the structural strength of the swing piece body 2, ensuring that the switch still maintains stable performance during long-term use.

[0031] Furthermore, the thicknesses of the swing piece body 2, the first thickening structure 5, and the second thickening structure 6 are the same, and the thicknesses of the swing piece body 2, the first thickening structure 5, and the second thickening structure 6 are all 0.3 - 1.5 mm. Specifically, in this implementation, the thicknesses of the swing piece body 2, the first thickening structure 5, and the second thickening structure 6 are designed to be 0.3 - 1.5 mm. This thickness range not only ensures the stability of the swing piece body 2 when bearing the operating force, but also enables the swing piece body 2 to have sufficient flexibility during the swinging process, thus ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the switch operation.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather will be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
