Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0021] A soft-pack waterproof layer structure for a toggle switch, referring to Figure 1-5 The device includes a housing 3, a toggle switch 2, a waterproof sheet 4, and a toggle assembly. The housing 3 has holes 31 and slots 32 on its side. The slots 32 are arranged around the outer edge of the holes 31. The waterproof sheet 4 is located in the slots 32. The front and back of the waterproof sheet 4 have multiple non-through vertical slots 43 and horizontal slots 42 distributed at intervals along the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Multiple tolerance gaps are formed between the vertical slots 43 and horizontal slots 42 and the waterproof sheet 4. The waterproof sheet 4 is designed between the toggle switch 2 and the toggle assembly. The waterproof sheet 4 can prevent water vapor and dust from entering the electronic device through the holes 31. At the same time, the waterproof sheet 4 has multiple vertical slots 43 and horizontal slots 42 reserved on it to prevent the toggle switch structure from interfering with the waterproof sheet 4 when it moves horizontally. The toggle switch structure can also use the waterproof sheet 4 to achieve waterproof operation during the movement of the toggle switch structure, which increases the waterproof reliability of the device.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the toggle switch 2 has a toggle block 21 that can be toggled. The waterproof sheet 4 has an integrated mounting bracket 41 in the middle. The toggle block 21 passes through the hole 31 and is inserted into the mounting bracket 41. The above design can not only satisfy the toggle block 21, but also form a closed space inside the electronic device to prevent moisture from entering the device.

[0023] Furthermore, the waterproof sheet 4 is made of an elastic soft material. Since the elastic material has elastic stretching characteristics, it can meet the waterproofing requirements while also allowing the lever 21 to move back and forth. The waterproof sheet 4 is preferably made of silicone material, but this is not a limitation.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a fastening screw 1, and the housing has a receiving cavity. The toggle switch 2 is locked in the receiving cavity by the fastening screw 1. The toggle switch 2 has a fixing hole on both sides to allow the fastening screw 1 to pass through, and the housing has a threaded hole corresponding to the fastening screw 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the toggle assembly includes a toggle bracket 5 and a toggle keycap 6. The outer ring of the slot 32 is also provided with a connecting groove smaller than its size. The toggle bracket 5 is placed in the connecting groove, and its inner wall surface abuts against the outer wall surface of the waterproof sheet 4. The inner surface of the toggle bracket 5 abuts against the waterproof sheet 4, which enables the waterproof sheet 4 to fit tightly against the wall surface of the slot 32, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance.

[0026] Furthermore, the center of the actuating bracket 5 has a through hole for the assembly 41 to pass through, and the inner walls of the actuating bracket 5 have symmetrical hooks 52 that are engaged in the slots 32. Through the cooperation of the hooks 52 and the slots 32, the actuating bracket 5 can be fixed in the connecting slot.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer wall of the toggle bracket 5 is symmetrically provided with a latching part 51, and the back of the toggle keycap 6 is symmetrically provided with latching grooves 61 that engage with the latching part 51. The toggle keycap 6 can be moved along the direction of the latching groove 61 when subjected to force. The back of the toggle keycap 6 has a receiving chamber for accommodating the accessory 41. Through the cooperation of the latching part 51 and the latching groove 61, the toggle bracket 5 and the toggle keycap 6 can be combined together. Moreover, the toggle keycap 6 can also be moved along the direction of the latching part 51 when subjected to force, and during the movement, it can correspondingly drive the toggle block 21 to move.

[0028] The outer end face of the toggle keycap 6 can also be designed with anti-slip texture (not shown in the picture).

[0029] In summary, by adding a waterproof sheet 4 with multiple tolerance gaps between the toggle switch 2 and the toggle assembly, interference between the toggle switch structure and the waterproof sheet 4 can be prevented when the toggle switch structure moves laterally to the left and right. The toggle switch structure can also use the waterproof sheet 4 to achieve waterproof operation during the movement, thereby increasing the waterproof reliability of the equipment.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
