Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toggle switches, and particularly relates to a multi-position toggle switch. Background Art
[0002] A toggle switch is a switch that realizes the on or off of a circuit by toggling a switch handle. It is one of the commonly used electronic components in electronic products. In the process of automated production, a vacuum suction pen is used to pick up components. As Figures 1-3 shown, when the vacuum pen picks up products such as toggle switches, due to the traditional toggle switch having no complete suction plane at the bottom, in order to adapt to the automated production line, a high-temperature adhesive tape is pasted at the pin position of the toggle switch. In this way, the vacuum pen can pick up the toggle switch by adsorbing the high-temperature adhesive tape. This method not only increases the process but also increases consumables. Moreover, the pins are made of copper, which is relatively soft and easy to bend and deform, resulting in poor stability, low yield rate, increased production cost, and wasted resources.
[0003] The utility model changes the design and modifies the position of the slot holes on the cover plate. Since there was a hole in the middle of the original cover plate and an effective suction plane could not be formed, the utility model adopts a design without a hole in the middle of the cover plate to provide an effective suction plane for the SMT nozzle to pick up, replacing the high-temperature adhesive tape, simplifying the assembly process, and by raising the fixed base surface of the housing to lift the cover plate, reducing the length of the pins, making them not easily deformed. The two rows of pins are fixed on the cover plate by riveting, so that four cover plate fixing holes can be reduced. The utility model forms a complete suction plane in the middle of the cover plate, and the vacuum pen can directly adsorb on this suction plane to pick up the toggle switch, with better stability, greatly improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost.
