[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toggle switches, in particular to a double-handle toggle switch. Background Art

[0002] In electronic devices and household appliances, switches are important components for controlling the on and off of circuits. Traditional toggle switches usually use a single toggle handle to control the on and off of one or more pairs of contacts. Although this design is simple in structure, low in cost and easy to operate, it is relatively simple in function and can only achieve simple circuit switching. With the development of technology and the diversification of user needs, the existing single-handle toggle switch can no longer meet the needs of some complex application scenarios.

[0003] For example, in some applications where multiple independent circuits need to be controlled simultaneously or separately, using multiple single-handle toggle switches not only increases the overall size of the equipment, but may also cause inconvenience in layout. In addition, when different working modes need to be switched quickly, adjusting each switch individually is not efficient enough. Therefore, developing a new type of switch that can provide more flexible control while maintaining a compact appearance has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems and further improve the functional diversity and operational convenience of the switch, it is necessary to design a toggle switch of a new structure, which can support more diverse operation modes to adapt to more complex circuit control requirements. Based on this purpose, the present application proposes a double-handle toggle switch solution composed of two independent but linked toggle handles and corresponding energized slides.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present utility model, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0028] The present utility model provides a double - handle toggle switch.

[0029] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4, the double - handle toggle switch includes a bottom case 1, a cover plate 2 and conductive contact pieces 3. The cover plate covers the bottom case. The conductive contact pieces are arranged at intervals inside the bottom case, and both ends of the conductive contact pieces extend out as power - on pins 4. It also includes two parallel power - on sliding pieces 5 and a toggle handle 6 respectively connected to the two power - on sliding pieces. The toggle handle 6 is slidably engaged with a chute 7 on the cover plate.

[0030] In the above - mentioned technical solution, by setting two parallel power - on sliding pieces and the corresponding toggle handle, the switch can achieve simultaneous or independent control of multiple circuits. This design improves the functional diversity of the switch, allowing users to flexibly select the control method according to their needs, so as to adapt to more diverse application requirements. The design of the toggle handle slidably engaged with the chute on the cover plate ensures the smoothness and accuracy during the operation process.

[0031] Among them, there are four conductive contact pieces, and there are a total of eight power - on pins extending from both ends of the conductive contact pieces. In addition, different numbers of conductive contact pieces can be set according to actual needs, such as 6, 8, etc.

[0032] Specifically, a plurality of contact - piece grooves 8 for installing conductive contact pieces are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the bottom case 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of contact - piece grooves 8 for installing conductive contact pieces are arranged at intervals on the bottom of the bottom case. Such a structural design helps to ensure that the conductive contact pieces are accurately and firmly installed in the designated positions, reduces assembly errors, and is also convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0034] Specifically, the depth of the contact - piece groove 8 is equal to the thickness of the conductive contact piece.

[0035] In this embodiment, the depth of the contact - piece groove 8 is equal to the thickness of the conductive contact piece, ensuring the flatness of the bottom surface of the bottom case and facilitating the sliding of the power - on sliding piece.

[0036] Specifically, a partition rib 9 is provided in the middle of the bottom case, and the two power - on sliding pieces are respectively arranged on both sides of the partition rib.

[0037] In this embodiment, the partition rib provided in the middle of the bottom case separates the two power - on sliding pieces, effectively avoiding mutual interference between the two groups of circuits, enhancing the stability of the circuit operation, and simplifying the wiring design.

[0038] Specifically, the power - on sliding piece is of an arc - shaped structure, and both ends of the power - on sliding piece 5 have protruding contact points 10.

[0039] In this embodiment, using a power - on sliding piece of an arc - shaped structure and providing protruding contact points at both ends can increase the contact area, improve the conductive efficiency; at the same time, this design also helps to reduce wear and extend the service life.

[0040] Specifically, a cross-shaped positioning groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the toggle handle, and a cross-shaped connecting portion 12 for connecting and cooperating with the cross-shaped positioning groove 11 is provided in the middle of the energized sliding piece.

[0041] In this embodiment, the mating design of the cross-shaped positioning groove and the cross-shaped connecting portion provides a stable connection method for the energized sliding piece, ensuring that it will not shift or fall off during movement, and further improving the overall stability and durability of the switch. The cross-shaped positioning groove and the cross-shaped connecting portion limit each other, and at the same time, the elastic force of the arc-shaped energized sliding piece is used for pressing. No other fasteners are required between the accessories, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0042] Specifically, both ends of the cover plate are bent downward to form a "T"-shaped connecting head 13, and both ends of the bottom case have notches 14 for connecting with the "T"-shaped connecting head 13.

[0043] In this embodiment, the "T"-shaped connecting head formed by bending both ends of the cover plate downward and the corresponding notches on the bottom case enable the cover plate to be connected and fixed to the bottom case.

[0044] Specifically, the toggle handle includes a sliding plate 15 and a toggle rod 16, and the toggle rod 16 extends out of the sliding groove 7.

[0045] In this embodiment, the toggle handle includes a sliding plate and a toggle rod. Users can easily operate through the externally visible part (i.e., the toggle rod), while the internal sliding plate is responsible for accurately transmitting the action to the energized sliding piece.

[0046] Specifically, two slots 17 are provided on the inner side of the sliding groove. A positioning elastic piece 18 is formed between the two slots 17. The middle of the positioning elastic piece has a downward convex arc-shaped surface 19. Positioning grooves 20 are arranged at intervals on the sliding plate of the toggle handle. Guide inclined surfaces 22 are provided on both sides of the convex rib 21 between the positioning grooves 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning elastic piece and its convex surface design in the sliding groove, combined with the positioning grooves on the toggle handle, jointly form an effective positioning mechanism. When the handle moves to a specific position, a clear tactile feedback can be generated to help users quickly identify the current state; in addition, the presence of the guide inclined surface also makes the sliding smoother without obstruction.

[0048] All technical personnel should note that although the present invention has been described according to the above specific embodiments, the idea of the present invention is not limited to this invention only. Any modification using the idea of the present invention will be included in the protection scope of this patent right.
