[0039] When the circuit board 6 is installed, the low-pressure injection molding technology is used for protection treatment, the polyamide insulation module 5 is injected outside the circuit board 6, and the corresponding wiring through holes 51 are preset, so that the subsequent connection between the core wire in the shell 1 and the circuit board 6 is facilitated; the curing time of the low-pressure forming material is relatively short, usually between 5-50 seconds, which greatly improves the production efficiency. At the same time, due to the fast curing speed, the energy consumption in the production process is also reduced.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 , the cover plate 4 is provided with an abutting plate 43 and two compression springs 42 on the side facing the shell 1, wherein the two ends of the compression spring 42 are fixedly connected to the side surfaces of the cover plate 4 and the abutting plate 43 close to each other, and the side of the abutting plate 43 away from the compression spring 42 is tightly abutted with the insulation module 5 under the extrusion of the compression spring 42.

[0041] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the shell 1 is integrally injection molded with two symmetrical fixing blocks 12 on the bottom side of the containing cavity 11, the fixing block 12 is provided with a fixing screw hole 121, the insulation module 5 is provided with a fixing through hole 52, and the containing cavity 11 is provided with a fixing screw 7 which penetrates through the fixing through hole 52 and is screwed into the fixing screw hole 121.

[0042] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the shell 1 is integrally injection molded with a plurality of supporting blocks 13 on the inner wall of the containing cavity 11, wherein the supporting block 13 is provided with a limiting gap 131 for clamping the insulation module 5, and the opening edge of the limiting gap 131 is provided with a guide inclined surface 132; the staff can clamp the insulation module 5 into the limiting gap 131 along the guide inclined surface 132, so as to further limit the insulation module 5 in the containing cavity 11.

When the locking pin 8 needs to be taken out later, the user can take it out through the traction handle 83.

[0046] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0047] During the installation of the circuit board 6, the low-pressure forming technology is used to uniformly coat the insulating material such as polyamide on the outside of the circuit board 6 to form a firm protective layer (i.e., the insulating module 5). Then, the insulating module 5 is clamped into the limiting gap 131 along the guide inclined surface 132, and the fixed screw 7 is used to penetrate the fixed through hole 52 and then screwed into the fixed screw hole 121.

[0048] Since the low-pressure injection molding is suitable for processing the circuit board 6 in batches and consumes less time, the curing speed of the insulating module 5 is fast, and the energy consumption in the production process is reduced, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency of the forklift steering lamp switch.
