[0003] The existing switch is assembled by multiple pressing parts on the panel. Each pressing part needs to be assembled on the panel in turn, which is troublesome and affects the efficiency of installation. It needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a new type of switch in order to improve the installation efficiency of the pressing part.

[0005] The present application provides a novel switch adopting the following technical solution:

[0006] It includes a shell, the shell is connected to a mounting plate, the mounting plate is connected to a first circuit board, the first circuit board is provided with a plurality of buttons, the mounting plate is rotatably connected to a key panel, the key panel is provided with at least one gap groove and a plurality of pressing parts, there is one gap groove between two adjacent pressing parts, and the plurality of pressing parts are used to abut against the corresponding buttons.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the key panel is integrally injection-molded using a mold. Clearance grooves are set during injection molding to form several pressing parts, ensuring aesthetics. Several pressing parts can be installed together on a single mounting plate, thereby improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, because the key panel is integrally injection-molded, even with multiple pressing parts, they maintain high flatness. After assembly, uneven gaps or gaps between the pressing parts are eliminated, resulting in a uniform and neat appearance.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting plate is connected to a support rod, and the key panel is provided with a rotation groove for the support rod to be snapped into, and the opening of the rotation groove is configured to be constricted.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support rod is stuck in the rotating groove, the key panel is compressed to produce elastic deformation and maintain a tendency of elastic reset, and the opening size of the rotating groove becomes larger until the support rod is completely stuck in the rotating groove. The key panel elastically resets, so that the opening of the transmission groove is reset to its original size, preventing the key panel from detaching from the support rod during rotation.

[0010] Optionally, the key panel is provided with two guide surfaces, the two guide surfaces are located at the openings of the rotation slot, and the distance between the two guide surfaces decreases step by step toward the direction approaching the rotation slot.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the key panel, the support rod abuts against the guide surface, and the guide surface guides the movement of the key panel, making it easier for the rotating groove to move toward the support rod, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the key panel.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of positioning posts, and the first circuit board is provided with positioning holes for cooperating with corresponding positioning posts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first circuit board is installed on the mounting plate, and the positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole. The cooperation between the positioning column and the positioning hole enables the first circuit board to be installed in the corresponding position, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the first circuit board.

[0014] Optionally, the radius of the positioning column increases step by step in a direction approaching the mounting plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first circuit board is mounted on the mounting plate, and the positioning column is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the positioning hole, thereby improving the stability of the first circuit board mounted on the mounting plate.

[0016] Optionally, the shell includes an inner shell and an outer shell detachably connected to the inner shell, and the outer shell is provided with a plurality of fixing holes.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer shell and the inner shell can be fixed to the wall together by passing the bolts through the fixing holes, which is more convenient.

[0018] Optionally, the inner shell is provided with a plurality of first limit blocks and a plurality of second limit blocks, and an accommodating groove for the outer shell to be snapped into is formed between the first limit blocks and the second limit blocks, and each second limit block is provided with a first inclined surface, and the end of the first inclined surface close to the first limit block is farther away from the inner shell than the end of the first inclined surface away from the first limit block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the outer shell and the inner shell are installed together, the outer shell abuts against the first inclined surface and moves along the first inclined surface toward the receiving groove. The first inclined surface causes the outer shell to be elastically deformed under pressure and maintains this elastic deformation trend until the outer shell is locked into the receiving groove and elastically resets. The first and second limit blocks restrict the movement of the outer shell, thereby improving the stability of the outer shell installed on the inner shell. The installation between the outer shell and the inner shell is completed by the first limit block, the second limit block and the first inclined surface, which is more convenient than bolt connection.

[0020] Optionally, the inner shell is connected to a connecting plate and a second circuit board, the inner shell is provided with a mounting cavity for the connecting plate and the second circuit board to be snapped in, the inner wall of the mounting cavity is connected to a plurality of fixing blocks, the connecting plate is provided with a fixing groove for the corresponding fixing blocks to be snapped in, the mounting plate is connected to the connecting plate, each of the fixing blocks is provided with a second inclined surface, and the end of the second inclined surface away from the mounting plate is farther away from the inner shell than the end of the second inclined surface close to the mounting plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second circuit board is first installed in the installation cavity, and then the connecting plate is installed in the installation cavity. The connecting plate restricts the movement of the second circuit board, preventing the second circuit board from leaving the installation cavity, thereby improving the stability of the second circuit board installed in the inner shell. During the installation of the connecting plate, the connecting plate abuts against the fixed block and moves along the second inclined surface toward the second circuit board. The connecting plate is elastically deformed under pressure and maintains a tendency to elastically reset until the connecting plate is separated from the fixed block. The connecting plate elastically resets, and the fixed block and the second circuit board restrict the movement of the connecting plate, thereby improving the stability of the connecting plate installed in the inner shell. The connecting plate is installed in the installation cavity through the fixed block and the second inclined surface, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the connecting plate.

[0022] Optionally, the mounting plate is connected to a plurality of first buckles, and the connecting plate is provided with snap-fitting holes for snap-fitting with corresponding first buckles.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate and the connecting plate can be installed together through the snap-fitting of the first snap buckle with the snap-fitting hole, thereby improving the installation efficiency between the mounting plate and the connecting plate.

[0024] Optionally, the mounting plate is connected to a decorative plate, the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks and a plurality of second clips, and the decorative plate is provided with limiting grooves for the corresponding limiting blocks to be snapped into and snap-fitting grooves for snapping into engagement with the corresponding second clips.

[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 9 This application is described in further detail.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application discloses a new type of switch.

[0041] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 includes an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12 detachably connected to the inner shell 11. Both the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 can be made of plastic. The outer shell 12 is provided with four fixing holes 121, which are respectively located at the four corners of the outer shell 12. The outer shell 12 can be fixed to the wall by bolts.

[0042] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the outer surface of the inner shell 11 is provided with eight first limiting blocks 111 and four second limiting blocks 112. The first limiting blocks 111 and the second limiting blocks 112 are integrally formed with the inner shell 11. A receiving groove 113 for the outer shell 12 to be snapped into is formed between the first limiting blocks 111 and the second limiting blocks 112. Each second limiting block 112 has a first inclined surface 1121 on a side away from the inner shell 11. The end of the first inclined surface 1121 closest to the first limiting block 111 is further away from the inner shell 11 than the end of the first inclined surface 1121 away from the first limiting block 111. The outer shell 12 has a limiting groove 122 for the corresponding first limiting block 111 to be snapped into. The inner shell 11 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 2 and the second circuit board 7. The inner shell 11 defines a mounting cavity 114 for snapping the connecting plate 2 and the second circuit board 7 therein. The second circuit board 7 is first installed within the mounting cavity 114, followed by the connecting plate 2. The inner wall of the mounting cavity 114 is provided with four fixing blocks 115, which are integrally formed with the inner shell 11. The outer surface of the connecting plate 2 defines fixing grooves 21 for snapping the corresponding fixing blocks 115 therein. The connecting plate 2 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 3. Each fixing block 115 is defined by a second inclined surface 1151 on the side facing away from the inner shell 11. The end of the second inclined surface 1151 facing away from the mounting plate 3 is further away from the inner shell 11 than the end of the second inclined surface 1151 facing closer to the mounting plate 3.

[0043] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, four first clips 31 are provided on one side of the mounting plate 3 near the connecting plate 2, and the connecting plate 2 is provided with snap-fitting holes 22 for snapping and mating with the corresponding first clips 31. A decorative plate 4 is detachably connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 3. The outer surface of the mounting plate 3 is provided with four limiting blocks 32 and eight second clips 33. The decorative plate 4 is provided with limiting grooves 41 for snapping into the corresponding limiting blocks 32 and snap-fitting grooves 42 for snapping and mating with the corresponding second clips 33.

[0044] Combine Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first circuit board 5 is detachably connected to the side of the mounting plate 3 away from the connecting plate 2. A plurality of positioning posts 34 are provided on the side of the mounting plate 3 away from the connecting plate 2. The positioning posts 34 are integrally formed with the mounting plate 3. The first circuit board 5 is provided with positioning holes 51 for cooperating with the corresponding positioning posts 34. The radius of the positioning posts 34 gradually increases in the direction approaching the mounting plate 3. When the first circuit board 5 is mounted on the mounting plate 3, the inner wall of the positioning hole 51 is interference fit with the positioning post 34.

[0045] Combine Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a first circuit board 5 is provided with a plurality of buttons 52 on the side away from the mounting plate 3. The mounting plate 3 is rotatably connected to a key panel 6 for covering the plurality of buttons 52. The key panel 6 is made of plastic and has two gap slots 61 and three pressing portions 62. The pressing portions 62 are integrally formed with the mounting plate 3. There is a gap slot 61 between two adjacent pressing portions 62. Each pressing portion 62 corresponds to one button 52 or two buttons 52. The mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to a support rod 35 on the side away from the connecting plate 2. The key panel 6 has a rotation slot 63 for the support rod 35 to engage. The opening of the rotation slot 63 is configured as a concave shape. The key panel 6 has two guide surfaces 64 facing each other. The two guide surfaces 64 are located at the opening of the rotation slot 63. The distance between the two guide surfaces 64 gradually decreases as the key panel 6 approaches the rotation slot 63. During the rotation of the key panel 6, the pressing portions 62 will abut against the decorative plate 4, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the key panel 6.

[0046] The operating principle of the novel switch in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the corresponding pressing portion 62 is pressed, the key panel 6 rotates around the axis of the support rod 35. The pressing portion 62 is elastically deformed under pressure and maintains this elastic deformation, causing the key panel 6 to abut against the corresponding button 52. When the pressing portion 62 is released, the pressing portion 62 elastically returns to its original position, and the corresponding button 52 drives the key panel 6 to return to its original position, allowing the next operation to proceed, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
