[0036] As described above, for a sliding switch, how to enable the panel to slide smoothly on the base is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently at present. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sliding switch 100 to at least partially solve the above problems. Hereinafter, the principles of the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with Figures 1 to 8 the description of the present disclosure.
[0037] Figure 1 FIG. shows a schematic structural view of a sliding switch 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 FIG. shows an exploded view of a sliding switch 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 FIG. shows a schematic structural view of a base 1 and a mounting plate 5 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0038] Figure 4 FIG. shows a schematic structural view of a sliding panel 2, a slider 3, an insulating member 12, and a switch module 6 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the sliding switch 100 described herein generally includes a base 1, a sliding panel 2, a slider 3, at least one support shaft 4, a mounting plate 5, and a switch module 6.
[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 2, specifically, an installation groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the base 1. The sliding panel 2 covers the base 1. Due to the existence of the installation groove on the base 1, the sliding panel 2 and the base 1 enclose an installation chamber 101. At least one support shaft 4 is disposed in the installation chamber 101, and at least one support shaft 4 is coupled to the base 1 so that at least one support shaft 4 is fixed within the base 1. The slider 3 is disposed in the installation chamber 101, and the slider 3 is connected to the sliding panel 2 so that the slider 3 can slide following the sliding panel 2. Since at least one support shaft 4 is fixed and at least one support shaft 4 passes through the slider 3, when the slider 3 is driven by the sliding panel 4, the slider 3 can slide within the base 1 along at least one support shaft 4.
[0040] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, further, the base 1 includes an insulating member 12. The insulating member 12 can be disposed on the bottom of the installation groove, and the insulating member 12 can be located at the middle position of the base 1. The switch module 6 can be disposed within the base 1, and the insulating member 12 can cover a part of the switch module 6. Obviously, the insulating member 12 serves as a part of enclosing the installation chamber 101.
[0041] Figure 5 shows Figure 4 the schematic structural diagrams of the slider 3 and the switch module 6 shown in. As Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, further, the switch module 6 can include a silver bridge 61 and an elastic member 62. The silver bridge 61 can pass through the insulating member 12 and be connected to the slider 3. Then, when the slider 3 slides, the silver bridge 61 can rotate within the base 1 to conduct or cut off the circuit. One end of the elastic member 62 is connected to the silver bridge 61, and the other end is connected to the insulating member 12. During the process of pushing the sliding panel 2 to conduct or cut off the circuit, since the silver bridge 61 rotates within the base 1, the elastic member 62 can be compressed to store energy. Then, when the elastic member 62 releases energy, the elastic member 62 can reversely drive the silver bridge 61 to rotate, thereby reversely driving the sliding panel 2 to slide.
[0042] The elastic member 62 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be various types of elastic members known currently or available in the future, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. For example, in some embodiments, the elastic member 62 can be a spring.
[0043] Return to reference Figure 2, in some embodiments, the slider 3 includes a plurality of sliding portions 31. At least one support shaft 4 extends along the first direction X. At least one support shaft 4 passes through the corresponding sliding portion 31 among the plurality of sliding portions 31, and the corresponding sliding portion 31 can slide along the corresponding support shaft 4. Thus, the slider 3 can slide along the first direction X through the support shaft 4.
[0044] For the sliding switch 100 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, since at least one support shaft 4 is coupled to the base 1, through the cooperation of the plurality of sliding portions 31 and at least one support shaft 4, the smoothness of the slider 3 sliding along at least one support shaft 4 is improved, and then the smoothness of the sliding panel 2 sliding on the base 1 is also improved.
[0045] Figure 6 The structural schematic diagrams of the slider 3 and the support shaft 4 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. As Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the sliding switch 100 may include a pair of support shafts 4. The pair of support shafts 4 may be arranged along the second direction Y and spaced apart from each other, where the second direction Y may be perpendicular to the first direction X. Each of the pair of support shafts 4 passes through the corresponding sliding portion 31 among the plurality of sliding portions 31.
[0046] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the plurality of sliding portions 31 may include a pair of first sliding portions 311 and a pair of second sliding portions 312. The pair of first sliding portions 311 may be spaced apart along the first direction X. The pair of second sliding portions 312 may be spaced apart along the first direction X. Obviously, one support shaft 4 in the pair of support shafts 4 may pass through the pair of first sliding portions 311, and the other support shaft 4 in the pair of support shafts 4 may pass through the pair of second sliding portions 312.
[0047] It should be noted that the numbers, numerical values, quantities, etc. mentioned above and elsewhere in the present disclosure are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way. Any other appropriate numbers, numerical values, quantities are possible. For example, according to specific application scenarios and requirements, the sliding switch 100 may include more or fewer support shafts 4, the number of sliding portions 31 may also include more or fewer, and one support shaft 4 may pass through one or more sliding portions 31, as long as the smoothness of the slider 3 sliding along the support shaft 4 is ensured.
[0048] It should be noted that when the sliding switch 100 only includes one support shaft 4, to ensure the smooth sliding of the slider 3, the support shaft 4 needs to be arranged at the middle position of the slider 3 along the first direction X, and the support shaft 4 needs to pass through at least a pair of sliding parts 31. In the following text, the principle of the present disclosure will be exemplarily described mainly in the case where the sliding switch 100 includes a pair of support shafts 4, and the plurality of sliding parts 31 include a pair of first sliding parts 311 and a pair of second sliding parts 312. The same applies to the above other cases and will not be elaborated here.
[0049] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the slider 3 may further include a main body part 32. The main body part 32 may include a first mounting surface 321 and a second mounting surface 322 arranged along the third direction Z. The third direction Z may be perpendicular to the first direction X, and the third direction Z may be perpendicular to the second direction Y. The first mounting surface 321 is covered by the sliding panel 2, and the second mounting surface 322 faces away from the first mounting surface 321. The pair of first sliding parts 311 and the pair of second sliding parts 312 may be respectively arranged on the second mounting surface 322.
[0050] Understandably, continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , to improve the sliding stability of the slider 3, the pair of first sliding parts 311 and the pair of second sliding parts 312 may be respectively adjacent to the edge positions of the main body part 32. That is to say, the pair of first sliding parts 311 and the pair of second sliding parts 312 are respectively adjacent to a corner of the main body part 32. On the other hand, since the switch module 6 is located at the middle position of the base 1, therefore, by arranging the pair of first sliding parts 311 and the pair of second sliding parts 312 respectively adjacent to the edge positions of the main body part 32, the possibility of the switch module 6 interfering with the slider 3 can be reduced. In addition, the structure of the slider 3 adopting this design is simple, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost.
[0051] Figure 7 shows a schematic structural diagram of the base 1, the slider 3 and the support shaft 4 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the main body part 32 includes a sliding hole 324. The protrusion of the insulating part 12 may be located in the sliding hole 324 to prevent the insulating part 12 from interfering with the slider 3 during the sliding process of the slider 3.
[0052] Figure 8 shows a schematic structural diagram of the sliding panel 2 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding panel 2 may include a pair of snap connectors 21. The pair of snap connectors 21 are respectively disposed on one side of the sliding panel 2 adjacent to the main body portion 32. Correspondingly, referring back to Figure 6 , the main body portion 32 may include a pair of notches 323. The pair of notches 323 are correspondingly disposed with the pair of snap connectors 21, and the pair of notches 323 may be located at the edge position of the main body portion 32. That is to say, each of the pair of notches 323 is located at a corner of the main body portion 32.
[0053] Furthermore, continuing to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 , each of the pair of snap connectors 21 passes through the corresponding notch 323, and after the pair of snap connectors 21 pass through the notches 323, they respectively abut against the second mounting surface 322 to complete the fastening of the sliding panel 2 and the slider 3. Obviously, the snap connector 21 can be a plastic part. During the process of connecting the sliding panel 2 and the slider 3, the snap connector 21 can deform outward when touching the main body portion 32, so as to facilitate the snap connector 21 to pass through the notch 323. And when the snap connector 21 passes through the notch 323, the snap connector 21 can return to its original shape and abut against the second mounting surface 322 to improve the connection stability of the sliding panel 2 and the slider 3 in the first direction X and the second direction Y.
[0054] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the sliding panel 2 may further include a pair of first limit members 22. The pair of first limit members 22 may be respectively disposed on one side of the sliding panel 2 adjacent to the main body portion 32. The pair of first limit members 22 can abut against the first mounting surface 321, thereby improving the connection stability of the sliding panel 2 and the slider 3 in the third direction Z.
[0055] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the slider 3 may include a pair of second limit members 33. The pair of second limit members 33 are respectively disposed on the first mounting surface 321. The pair of second limit members 33 can abut against one side of the sliding panel 2, also improving the connection stability of the sliding panel 2 and the slider 3 in the third direction Z.
[0056] Obviously, when the sliding panel 2 includes a pair of first limit members 22 and the slider 3 includes a pair of second limit members 33, the pair of first limit members 22 can be staggered from the pair of second limit members 33.
[0057] Referring back to Figure 2 and Figure 3, in some embodiments, the base 1 may include paired perforations 11. The paired perforations 11 are each arranged along the first direction X, and the paired perforations 11 may communicate with the installation chamber 101. Thus, each support shaft 4 can pass through any one of the paired perforations 11, and each support shaft 4 can be inserted into the installation chamber 101 from the opposite direction.
[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the mounting plate 5 surrounds the base 1, and the mounting plate 5 may block the paired perforations 11 to limit the support shaft 4 within the base 1. On the other hand, the mounting plate 5 can also strengthen the strength of the base 1, thereby strengthening the strength of the sliding switch 100. Obviously, after the mounting plate 5 is provided on the base 1, both ends of each support shaft 4 are located within the perforation 11, and each support shaft 4 is limited to prevent the support shaft 4 from falling out of the perforation 11 during the process of pushing the sliding panel 2, thereby avoiding jamming of the sliding panel 2.
[0059] The sliding design according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various sliding switches 100 to at least partially solve the above problems. It should be understood that the sliding design according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can also be applied to other electrical components, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.
[0060] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of the terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
