[0026] The following is further detailed through specific implementation manners:

[0027] The reference numerals in the attached drawings of the specification include: a light-transmitting plate 1, an upper shell 2, a bottom shell 3, a strip-shaped hole 4, a groove 5, a clamping plate 6, a snap member 7, a claw 8, a card slot 9, a connecting plate 10, a clamping block 11, a limiting block 12, a positioning protrusion 13, a limiting protrusion 14, and a waterproof sleeve 15.

[0028] As shown in the attached Figure 1-7 drawings, this embodiment shows a switch structure, which includes a light-transmitting plate 1 and an upper shell 2 and a bottom shell 3 that are connected to each other. Among them, a strip-shaped hole 4 is opened at the top of the upper shell 2, a groove 5 is arranged inside the upper shell 2, and the strip-shaped hole 4 is located in the groove 5. The light-transmitting plate 1 is inserted into the groove 5 through the strip-shaped hole 4.

[0029] Among them, clamping plates 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the groove 5, and a snap member 7 is arranged between the clamping plates 6. Claws 8 are arranged on both sides of the snap member 7, and card slots 9 corresponding to the claws 8 are arranged on the clamping plates 6, and the claws 8 are snap-connected with the card slots 9. A clamping portion for clamping the light-transmitting plate 1 is arranged on the snap member 7. Glue is filled in the groove 5.

[0030] During assembly, first insert the light-transmitting plate 1 into the groove 5 through the strip-shaped hole 4, then clamp the light-transmitting plate 1 through the clamping portion of the snap member 7, and then use the snap connection between the claws 8 and the card slots 9 to preliminarily fix the light-transmitting plate 1 in the groove 5. Finally, use glue for the final bonding and fixing.

[0031] Among them, the snap member 7 includes a connecting plate 10, and the claws 8 are arranged at both ends on one side of the connecting plate 10. The clamping portion includes two clamping blocks 11, and the clamping blocks 11 and the claws 8 are on the same side of the connecting plate 10. When the snap member 7 is connected to the card slot 9 and the light-transmitting plate 1, the clamping blocks 11 are located between the clamping plate 6 and the light-transmitting plate 1, so as to fix the light-transmitting plate 1 more firmly.

[0032] Specifically, limiting blocks 12 perpendicular to the clamping plate 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the card slot 9, and both ends of the connecting plate 10 are located between the limiting blocks 12. When the claws 8 are snap-connected with the card slot 9, the limiting blocks 12 on both sides of the card slot 9 can limit the lateral displacement of the connecting plate 10 to ensure the stability of the connection between the snap member 7 and the clamping plate 6.

[0033] Among them, positioning protrusions 13 are arranged at both ends on one side of the light-transmitting plate 1. The setting of the positioning protrusions 13 facilitates the assembly of the light-transmitting plate 1. Specifically, when assembling the light-transmitting plate 1, the inside of the upper shell 2 can be turned upwards, and the light-transmitting plate 1 can be inverted through the strip-shaped hole 4 of the upper shell 2, so that the positioning protrusions 13 are placed on the groove 5, and then the snap member 7 is used to fix the light-transmitting plate 1. The setting of the positioning protrusions 13 prevents the light-transmitting plate 1 from directly falling out of the strip-shaped hole 4.

[0034] Among them, at both ends of the bottom of the groove 5, a limiting protrusion 14 integrally in a C shape is provided, and the limiting protrusion 14 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 13. The limiting protrusion 14 is used to limit the displacement of the light-transmitting plate 1, facilitating the assembly and fixation of the light-transmitting plate 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, a waterproof sleeve 15 is sleeved on the top of the upper shell 2 to prevent oil stains and water vapor from entering the upper shell 2, so as to ensure the normal operation of the light-transmitting plate 1.

[0036] In the above embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 1 is made of acrylic material.

[0037] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge such as the specific structures and characteristics known in the solutions is not described in detail herein. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the implementation effect of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The protection scope required by this application should be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation manners and the like recorded in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
