[0018] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] The present utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings of the specification.

[0020] The present utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0021] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1-5 The present utility model discloses a wall switch with built-in light-emitting part, which comprises a panel support 1, a switch panel 2 and a switch box 3 connected to the two sides of the panel support 1, a button installation groove 4 is formed in the side of the switch panel 2 away from the switch box 3, a switch button 5 is arranged in the button installation groove 4, a light-emitting part 6 is arranged between the switch button 5 and the switch panel 2, one end of the light-emitting part 6 penetrates through the switch panel 2 and extends into the switch box 3 to be electrically connected with the switch box 3, a light-transmitting gap 7 is formed between the switch button 5 and the switch panel 2, and the light source emitted by the light-emitting part 6 is emitted to the outside of the button installation groove 4 through the light-transmitting gap 7. Specifically, in the design, the light-emitting part 6 is arranged between the switch button 5 and the switch panel 2, and the light-transmitting gap 7 is arranged between the switch button 5 and the switch panel 2, when the switch box 3 is powered on, the light-emitting part 6 electrically connected with the switch box 3 is turned on to realize light emission, the light source emitted by the light-emitting part 6 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting gap 7, so that the entire button area is clearly visible in the night or insufficient light environment. Moreover, by arranging the light-transmitting gap 7, even if the switch button 5 is made of non-light-transmitting material or color, the user can still see the light emitted by the light-emitting part 6 through the light-transmitting gap 7, so as to accurately identify the button position.

[0022] Furthermore, the switch button 5 has two symmetrically arranged bevel contact edges 8 and two flat contact edges 9, and the button mounting groove 4 has four inclined groove walls, and connecting arc surfaces 10 are set between adjacent groove walls for connection. The bevel contact edges 8 are connected to the corresponding groove walls, and the light-transmitting gap 7 is formed between the flat contact edges 9 and the corresponding groove walls of the button mounting groove 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the groove walls of the four side surfaces of the button mounting groove 4 to be inclined, the inclination direction is that the top of the side groove wall is inclined toward the extension line of the center of the switch box 3, so that when the user presses the switch button 5, a certain friction force is generated between the bevel contact edge 8 and the groove wall, so that the button has a good feel and a stable contact effect. In addition, the design of the connecting arc surface 10 increases the strength and durability of the button. Since the transition of the arc surface is smoother, the stress concentration that may be caused by sharp right-angle edges is avoided, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the button during long-term use. Furthermore, the design of the flat contact edge 9 on the switch button 5 prevents the switch button 5 from fitting against the opposite groove wall regardless of whether it is in the open or closed state, thereby forming a light-transmitting gap 7 between the switch button 5 and the groove wall of the button mounting groove 4. This allows the user to clearly see the position and status of the switch button 5 at night or in a dimly lit environment, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0023] Furthermore, a positioning groove is formed on the inner wall of the button mounting slot 4 on a side close to the switch box 3. The light-emitting element 6 is detachably disposed in the positioning groove. The light-emitting element 6 has a snap-on end 11 and an electrical connection end 12. The snap-on end 11 passes through the positioning groove and snap-connects with the end face of the switch panel 2 away from the switch button 5. The electrical connection end 12 passes through the switch panel 2 and extends into the switch box 3 to be electrically connected to the switch box 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the provision of the positioning groove facilitates the positioning and installation of the light-emitting element 6 and ensures its stability within the switch box 3. The snap-on end 11 of the light-emitting element 6 is connected to the snap-on end of the switch panel 2, making it easier to remove and replace the light-emitting element 6 and allowing the operation to be completed without the use of any tools. The snap-on end 11 of the light-emitting element 6 is designed to be elastic so that it can generate a certain elastic force when inserted into the positioning groove, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the light-emitting element 6 and the switch panel 2. In addition, the electrical connection end 12 of the light emitting element 6 is designed to have conductive properties to ensure that it can be reliably connected to the circuit board in the switch box 3 when inserted into the switch box 3 .

[0024] Furthermore, the light-emitting member 6 is arranged in a T-shape, and has an upper light-emitting portion 13 arranged horizontally and a lower light-emitting portion 14 arranged longitudinally. A snap-on end 11 is provided on each of the upper light-emitting portion 13 and the lower light-emitting portion 14. The positioning groove includes an upper positioning groove 15 corresponding to the upper light-emitting portion 13 and a lower positioning groove 16 corresponding to the lower light-emitting portion 14. The snap-on end 11 extends into the corresponding positioning groove and snap-connects with the switch panel 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the snap-on ends 11 of the upper light-emitting portion 13 and the lower light-emitting portion 14 snap-on connect with the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the switch panel 2, respectively, making it more convenient to remove and replace the light-emitting member 6, and the operation can be completed without the use of any tools. The upper positioning groove 15 and the lower positioning groove 16 of the light-emitting member 6 cooperate with the snap-on ends 11 of the upper light-emitting portion 13 and the lower light-emitting portion 14, respectively, to ensure the stability of the light-emitting member 6 on the switch panel 2. Furthermore, the electrical connection end 12 of the light-emitting element 6 is designed to be conductive, ensuring reliable connection to the circuit board inside the switch box 3 when inserted into the switch box 3. With this structural design, the light-emitting element 6 not only provides a uniform lighting effect but also is highly convenient in terms of installation and maintenance.

[0025] Furthermore, an electrical connection slot 19 is provided on the electrical connection end 12, a conductive copper sheet 17 is provided in the switch box 3, and a connection hole 18 is provided on the end surface of the switch box 3 on one side close to the switch panel 2. The electrical connection end 12 extends into the connection hole 18 to connect with the switch box 3, and the conductive copper sheet extends into the electrical connection slot 19 through the connection hole 18 to be electrically connected to the electrical connection end. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape of the conductive copper sheet 17 matches the electrical connection slot 19, ensuring that the two can fit tightly when connected, reducing contact resistance. In actual application, when the user needs to replace the light-emitting component 6, they only need to simply pull out the electrical connection end 12 of the light-emitting component 6 from the connection hole 18, then insert the new light-emitting component 6 into the connection hole 18 and ensure that the electrical connection slot 19 is properly connected to the conductive copper sheet 17. This design not only simplifies the replacement process, but also, due to the close fit between the electrical connection end 12 and the conductive copper sheet 17, ensures that there is no risk of poor contact or short circuit during the replacement process.

[0026] Furthermore, the panel bracket 1 is provided with a snap groove 20 for connecting to the switch panel 2 and a snap hole 21 for securing the switch box 3. The panel bracket 1 has a panel connecting portion 22 and a box connecting portion 23. The snap groove 20 and snap hole 21 are provided on the panel connecting portion 22 and the box connecting portion 23, respectively. The switch panel 2 and the switch box 3 are provided with panel snap parts and box snap parts corresponding to the snap groove 20 and snap hole 21, respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shapes of the panel snap parts and the box snap parts match the snap groove 20 and snap hole 21, ensuring that they can be easily snapped in and securely fixed during assembly.
