For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral whole; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.

[0029] The embodiment of the utility model provides a switch switching module structure such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it includes a body 1, a switch 2 and a protective cover 3 are provided on the upper part of the body 1, and the protective cover 3 is hinged on the body 1 to facilitate the covering and opening of the protective cover 3. When the protective cover 3 is covered, it covers the switch 2, thereby providing a shielding and protective effect for the switch 2; the switch 2 can be a button switch, a knob switch, or the like; the body 1 is provided with an upwardly protruding padlock plate 11, and the padlock plate 11 is provided with a padlock hole 12; the protective cover 3 is provided with a through-hole 31 at a position corresponding to the padlock plate 11; when the protective cover 3 is covered, the padlock plate 11 passes through the through-hole 31 and the padlock hole 12 is exposed to accommodate the installation of a padlock 7, thereby providing a basis for installing the padlock 7 on the padlock plate 11; in actual operation, after the protective cover 3 is covered, the padlock 7 can be installed on the padlock hole 12, ensuring that only authorized personnel can open the protective cover, thereby preventing misoperation or accidental opening, especially in public places or sensitive environments. Such a design greatly reduces the risk of human operation and effectively improves safety protection.

[0030] In some embodiments, a buckle 32 is provided on the protective cover 3, and a buckle position 13 is provided on the upper edge of the main body 1. After the protective cover 3 is closed, the buckle 32 is buckled with the buckle position 13, thereby enhancing the tightness of the protective cover 3 when closed.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the edge of the protective cover 3 is provided with a convex plate 33 protruding outward, the buckle 32 and the perforation 31 are formed on the convex plate 33, and the outer end of the convex plate 33 protrudes from the outer edge of the main body 1 after the protective cover 3 is closed. This design makes it possible for the user to disengage the buckle 32 from the buckle position 13 by pulling the convex plate 33 when the protective cover 3 needs to be opened, which is convenient for operation.

[0032] In some embodiments, a sealing ring 4 surrounding the switch 2 is provided on the upper surface of the body 1. After the protective cover 3 is closed, the sealing ring 4 is pressed tightly, thereby sealing the gap between the body 1 and the protective cover 3 to achieve a waterproof and dustproof effect and improve the protection level.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, the upper surface of the body 1 is provided with an annular protrusion 14 surrounding the switch 2, and the upper part of the annular protrusion 14 is provided with an annular embedding groove 15, and the sealing ring 4 is embedded in the annular embedding groove 15, so that the sealing ring 4 can be effectively limited, and the annular protrusion 14 itself can also play a water-blocking role, effectively ensuring the waterproof performance.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the protective cover 3 is provided with an annular beading 34 on the periphery, and the shape of the annular beading 34 matches the shape of the annular embedding groove 15, ensuring that when the protective cover 3 is closed, the annular beading 34 can accurately extend into the annular embedding groove 15. After the protective cover 3 is closed, the annular beading 34 extends into the annular embedding groove 15 and presses the sealing ring 4. This pressing design can effectively compact the sealing ring 4, further improve the sealing performance, and prevent moisture, dust, etc. from entering the interior of the protective cover 2.

[0035] In some embodiments, the protective cover 3 is made of a transparent material so that the user can see the status of the switch 2 without opening the protective cover 3 , thereby reducing the operational inconvenience caused by the need to open the protective cover 3 for viewing.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 3 is provided with a label attachment area 35 , on which product information, manufacturer information, etc. can be attached, so that the user can easily obtain relevant product and manufacturer information, etc.

[0037] In some embodiments, a waterproof cable connector 5 is installed at the bottom of the body 1. The wires connected to the switch 2 are routed through the waterproof connector 5. This connector effectively locks the wires in place, preventing moisture and other external factors from affecting the normal operation of the internal circuitry. This design improves waterproof performance and reliability, ensuring normal operation in a variety of environments.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, a hinge seat A16 is provided on the main body 1, and a hinge seat B36 is provided on the corresponding side edge of the protective cover 3. A connecting pin 6 is inserted between the hinge seat A16 and the hinge seat B36 to connect the hinge seat A16 and the hinge seat B36. One end of the connecting pin 6 is provided with an end 61, and the hinge seat A16 is provided with a slot 17 that is engaged with the end 61. The end 61 is clamped by the slot 17, thereby preventing the connecting pin 6 from loosening, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation of the protective cover 3.

[0039] See Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to prevent the protective cover 3 from closing by itself and affecting the operation of the switch 2 after the protective cover 3 is opened, a stopper A161 is further provided on the hinge seat A16, and a stopper B361 is provided on the hinge seat B36. The stopper B361 slides over the stopper A161 during the opening and closing process of the protective cover 3. After the protective cover 3 is opened, the stopper A161 and the stopper B361 cooperate to restrict the protective cover 3 to the open position, thereby not affecting the operation of the switch 2 by personnel.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
