Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motorcycle accessories, and particularly relates to a rocker switch assembly. Background Art

[0002] A rocker switch is a household circuit switch hardware product. The rocker switch is applied to water dispensers, treadmills, computer speakers, battery cars, motorcycles, plasma TVs, coffee pots, socket strips, massage machines, etc., and is involved in common household appliances. The rocker switch is also called a boat switch, a rocker switch, an IO switch, a power switch. Its structure is the same as that of a toggle switch, except that the toggle handle is replaced with a boat shape. The boat switch is commonly used as the power switch of electronic equipment. Its contacts are divided into single-pole single-throw, double-pole double-throw, etc. Some switches also have indicator lights. The existing rocker switch includes a socket body, an upper cover connected to the socket body, a button pivotally connected to the upper cover, a circuit board located in the socket body, a static contact piece, a moving contact piece located in the socket body, and a swing block for controlling the displacement of the moving contact piece. The strength of the swing block is low, resulting in easy shaking when the button is pressed, which affects the comfort of the user. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a rocker switch assembly with a high-strength swing block, stable swing and comfortable pressing.

One end of the socket body is provided with an installation groove, and the other end is provided with an insertion port. A convex rib is provided on the bottom wall of the installation groove. An arc-shaped guide groove is provided on the convex rib. A positioning port is provided in the guide groove. The positioning port and the guide groove cooperate to form the setting of gears. A relief opening for the convex rib to pass through is provided at one end of the swing block facing the convex rib. An installation hole is provided at one end of the swing block facing the convex rib. An abutting component that abuts against the guide groove is installed in the installation hole. A swing arm that is linked with the button is provided on the swing block. Installation openings for installing the moving contact piece are provided on both sides of the swing block in the direction of its swing. A moving contact point that cooperates with the static contact piece is provided on the moving contact piece. The static contact piece includes a contact part opposite to the moving contact piece, a connecting part located at the bottom of the installation groove, and a pin that penetrates the bottom wall of the installation groove into the insertion port.
