[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5, as shown in the figure, a waterproof and dustproof push-pull switch includes a base 1, an upper cover 2, a push button 3, at least one incoming conductive member 4 and at least one outgoing conductive member 5, the incoming conductive member 4 and the outgoing conductive member 5 have a contact conductive state and a separated disconnected state, which is achieved by the elasticity of the conductive member itself and / or the push button 3 and the spring and steel ball inside the push button 3. This structure is a conventional structure in a push-pull switch and is a prior art. It is not related to the technical problem to be solved by this application and will not be elaborated on here. The push button 3 is movably arranged on the upper cover 2, and a hole is provided on the upper cover 2 for the push button 3 to pass through and A movable through slot 21 is provided with a cavity 6 for accommodating a metal conductive part between the base 1 and the upper cover 2, and a space is provided in the cavity for at least one of the metal conductive parts to move. It is worth noting that a sealing ring 7 is provided on the periphery of the cavity 6 between the upper cover 2 and the base 1, and a flexible sealing gasket 8 is connected to the upper cover 2. The flexible sealing gasket 8 covers the entire through slot 21, and a space is provided on the sealing gasket 8 for the end of the push button 3 to be inserted; or a hole groove 81 is provided on the sealing gasket 8 for the end of the push button 3 to pass through, and the inner wall of the hole groove 81 is sealed with the push button 3. The latter is adopted in this embodiment. The sealing gasket 8 in this embodiment includes a fixed portion 82, a raised portion 83, a recessed portion 84, and a push button connection portion 85. The fixed portion 82, raised portion 83, recessed portion 84, and push button connection portion 85 are all arranged in a circle, with the fixed portion 82 being the outermost circle, followed by the raised portion 83, then the recessed portion 84, and the push button connection portion 85 in the middle. The raised portion 83 and recessed portion 84 form a pulling stroke for the push button connection portion 85 to move. In this embodiment, the provision of the raised portion 83 provides the push button connection portion 85 in the middle with sufficient space for expansion and contraction during displacement, so that the push button connection portion 85 will not be pulled by the strong force of the sealing gasket 8 on one side and cannot be pushed. In this embodiment, the raised portion 83 and push button connection portion 85 are both raised upward, and the upward rise of the push button connection portion 85 further increases the travel of the push button 3. The sealing gasket 8 in this embodiment is made of rubber, which has excellent flexibility and better sealing performance.

[0024] To better secure the gasket 8 to the upper cover 2, this embodiment also includes a pressure plate 9. The pressure plate 9 presses the fixing portion 82 of the gasket 8 against the upper cover 2. The pressure plate 9 has a hollow portion 91 in the middle for the protrusion 83 to pass through. To facilitate the connection between the upper cover 2 and the base 1, the upper cover 2 and the base 1 are fastened together. The specific fastening structure is to provide an outwardly protruding undercut on one side of the base 1. After the upper cover 2 and the base 1 are mated, the upper cover 2's snapping portion snaps into the undercut position to achieve the fastening connection between the two.

[0025] Since the push-pull switch is relatively long, in order to avoid water leakage caused by the misalignment of the side sealing gasket 8 during repeated pushing and pulling of the push-pull switch, this embodiment provides a plurality of positioning posts 22 on the end surface of the upper cover 2 facing the pressure plate 9, and the corresponding positions of the sealing gasket 8 and the pressure plate 9 are provided with positioning holes 10 for inserting the positioning posts 22. The positioning posts 22 are designed at a certain distance apart, which ensures that the side sealing gasket 8 will not be pulled out of position during long-term use, thereby ensuring the long-term sealing performance of the push-pull switch. The positioning posts 22 not only play a positioning role, but also play a riveting role, so that the pressure plate can better press the sealing gasket 8.

[0026] To further ensure the sealing performance between the upper cover 2 and the sealing gasket 8, in this embodiment, at least one circle of ribs 23 is provided on the end surface of the upper cover 2 facing the pressure plate 9, and the fixing portion 82 of the sealing gasket 8 abuts against the ribs 23. The provision of the ribs 23 enables the sealing gasket 8 to better seal with the upper cover 2 and also better compresses the sealing gasket 8 to prevent it from moving, further ensuring long-term sealing performance.

[0027] To ensure waterproofing between the push button 3 and the sealing gasket 8, this embodiment provides an extension 851 at the contact point between the push button connection portion 85 and the push button 3. The shape of the extension 851 matches the shape of the location of the push button 3, and the extension 851 fits tightly against the push button 3. The provision of the extension 851 increases the contact area between the sealing gasket 8 and the push button 3, thereby ensuring a tight seal between the two.

[0028] In this embodiment, a step structure is further provided on the push button 3, and a matching step structure is provided on the corresponding extension 851. The step structure further increases the contact area between the push button 3 and the sealing gasket 8, further ensuring the sealing between the two.
