Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch control technology, specifically to a toggle switch. Background Technology

[0002] A toggle switch is an electronic component that changes the on / off state of a circuit by manually operating a lever. When the lever is moved, the internal metal contacts close or open accordingly, thereby controlling the current path. Commonly used toggle switches include two-way and four-way toggle switches, mainly used in low-voltage circuits, audio equipment, car seats, and other electronic products, characterized by flexible operation and stable performance.

[0003] Chinese patent CN110957165A discloses a four-way adjustable switch for an electric seat, which includes a housing, a PCB board assembly, and a toggle switch. A toggle switch assembly is mounted on the PCB board assembly, and the toggle switch assembly includes a fixed base mounted on the PCB board assembly and four rotating blocks that can swing up and down within the fixed base. Conductive rubber is disposed on the circuit control board assembly below the fixed base, and conductive rubber posts that cooperate with the rotating blocks are disposed below the conductive rubber. A rotating frame is mounted inside the fixed base and above the rotating blocks, and a lever is also mounted inside the rotating frame. The rotation direction of the lever is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rotating frame, and the top of the lever is mounted on the toggle switch.

[0004] The aforementioned four-way adjustment switch has a complex installation structure and low overall integrity. Since the connection between the components inside the adjustment switch depends on other parts in the car seat that cooperate with the switch, the components inside the switch are prone to displacement and loosening during transportation, which can cause the switch to be unusable or to be accidentally activated. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toggle switch to solve the problem of loose or displaced components inside the switch.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A toggle switch includes: a housing and a circuit board, the housing and the circuit board being joined to form a cavity; a toggle assembly mounted in the cavity, with at least a portion of the toggle assembly extending through the housing to the outside of the cavity, the toggle assembly being configured such that moving the portion of the toggle assembly outside the cavity can cause the toggle assembly inside the cavity to swing; and a trigger assembly mounted in the cavity, the trigger assembly being located between the circuit board and the toggle assembly; the toggle assembly inside the cavity abuts against the trigger assembly, and during the swinging of the toggle assembly inside the cavity, it can push the trigger assembly to move along the thickness direction of the cavity, so that the trigger assembly abuts against the circuit board, triggering a circuit switch.

[0008] According to the above technical means, the housing and the circuit board are spliced ​​together to form a cavity, and the lever assembly and the trigger assembly are installed in the cavity in sequence. This makes the internal components of the assembled lever switch tightly connected to form a stable whole, reducing the phenomenon of loosening or displacement of the internal parts of the lever switch, thereby ensuring the normal use of the lever switch.

[0009] This utility model toggle switch can be packaged and used separately during the assembly of car seats, improving the overall assembly efficiency. Furthermore, when other accessories in the car seat are damaged, it is not necessary to disassemble the components inside the toggle switch one by one when disassembling the seat. Alternatively, if the components inside the toggle switch are damaged, the entire toggle switch can be replaced directly, making the disassembly and replacement of the toggle switch more convenient and quick, thereby reducing the maintenance time and cost of the toggle switch.

[0010] Furthermore, the lever assembly includes a lever and a pressing member. The pressing member is installed in the cavity and has multiple evenly distributed sides, each of which abuts against the trigger assembly. One end of the lever is located outside the cavity, and the other end of the lever passes through the housing and is connected to the pressing member. Moving one end of the lever can drive each of the sides to move along the thickness direction of the cavity, so that during the movement of each side, it can push the trigger assembly against the circuit board to trigger the circuit switch.

[0011] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the toggle switch contains multiple evenly distributed sides, allowing users to move the toggle in different directions according to different needs and scenarios, thereby achieving different function switching.

[0012] Furthermore, an arc groove is formed on the pressing member, and the arc groove is located at the center of the pressing member; the triggering component includes a limiting plate, and a convex cylinder is formed on the limiting plate, and the convex cylinder is arranged along the thickness direction of the cavity; the arc groove abuts against the convex cylinder, so that turning one end of the lever can drive each of the sides to move along the thickness direction of the cavity.

[0013] According to the above technical means, when the convex cylinder is embedded in the arc groove, its position is clearly defined, and there will be no left or right swaying or deviation. This can ensure that the relative position between the lever and the limiting plate is accurate, thereby ensuring the stability of installation and use. In addition, the convex cylinder can provide good guidance for the arc groove, ensuring the accuracy of movement and preventing accidental activation of the switch when the lever is moved.

[0014] Furthermore, the triggering component also includes a conductive contact plate, on which a plurality of rubber buttons are disposed. The plurality of rubber buttons are evenly distributed, and the position of each rubber button corresponds to each of the sides, so that when each of the sides moves along the thickness direction of the cavity, it can push each rubber button to abut against the circuit board; the circuit board is provided with a plurality of switch modules, each of the switch modules corresponding to each of the rubber buttons, so that each of the rubber buttons can trigger each of the switch modules.

[0015] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the side panel, rubber buttons, and switch modules correspond one-to-one, so that users do not need to look for special switches when using them. They can simply turn the lever to the corresponding direction according to their needs, which improves operating efficiency and makes it easier for users to use.

[0016] Furthermore, the lever assembly also includes a square rod, the other end of which is connected to the square rod; a square hole is formed on the housing, through which the square rod passes and is connected to the pressing member, so that the other end of the lever can swing in four directions.

[0017] Based on the above technical means, the design of the square rod and square hole restricts the direction of the lever switch, ensuring that when the lever is rotated, it will only rotate in the four directions of the square rod. This also prevents the lever from deviating and causing accidental activation, thus improving the accuracy of use.

[0018] Furthermore, there are four sides, which are arranged in a cross shape; a limiting groove is formed on the housing, and the limiting groove has a cross-shaped structure; each side is located in the limiting groove, so that when the other end of the lever swings in four directions, each side can move in the limiting groove along the thickness direction of the cavity.

[0019] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the limiting groove restricts the left and right swaying of the side, ensuring that when the lever is rotated, the side will only rotate along the direction of the limiting groove, thereby improving the stability of the lever switch.

[0020] Furthermore, the limiting plate is also provided with four limiting holes, each of which corresponds to each of the sides; the number of rubber buttons is a multiple of four, and the multiples of four rubber buttons are evenly distributed, and each rubber button can pass through the limiting holes and abut against each of the sides.

[0021] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the rubber button is confined within the limiting hole, making it less likely for the rubber button to shift.

[0022] Furthermore, the triggering component also includes four trigger blocks, each trigger block being movably mounted on the housing and configured to move along the thickness direction of the cavity; each trigger block corresponds to each side, and each side abuts against each rubber button through the trigger block.

[0023] According to the above technical means, the housing restricts the movement direction of the trigger block, ensuring that the trigger block can only move along the thickness direction of the cavity after rotating on the side, thereby preventing the trigger block from moving inside the cavity and causing the lever switch to fail, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] Furthermore, each of the rubber buttons is provided with conductive particles. When each of the rubber buttons abuts against the circuit board, the conductive particles can conduct electricity with the circuit board to trigger a circuit switch.

[0025] According to the above technical means, the conductive particles are confined inside the rubber button, ensuring that when the trigger block is pressed down on the side, the trigger block presses down on the rubber button, causing the conductive particles to slide down and contact the circuit board, thereby triggering the circuit switch. Moreover, the conductive particles correspond one-to-one with the switch modules on the circuit board, ensuring smooth switching and improving the accuracy of switching on and off.

[0026] Furthermore, the lever assembly also includes a spring and a top pin. The other end of the lever has a mounting groove, the spring is mounted in the mounting groove, and one end of the top pin is mounted in the mounting groove and abuts against the spring. Pressing the top pin can compress the spring so that the spring has a tendency to extend, thereby causing each of the sides to abut against the trigger assembly.

[0027] Based on the above technical means, when the lever switch is installed with other accessories, the top pin and spring installed inside the top of the lever can be pre-pressed to ensure that the pressing part of the lever assembly contacts the trigger block, so that the user can easily trigger the circuit switch by moving the lever, thereby improving the comfort of using the product.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] The housing and circuit board are joined together to form a cavity, and the lever assembly and trigger assembly are sequentially installed inside the cavity. This ensures that the internal components of the assembled lever switch are tightly integrated, forming a stable whole. This reduces the possibility of loosening or displacement of parts within the lever switch, thus guaranteeing its normal operation. The assembled lever switch can be packaged and used separately during the assembly of car seats, improving overall assembly efficiency. Furthermore, when other accessories in the car seat are damaged, it is not necessary to disassemble the components inside the lever switch one by one when disassembling the seat. Alternatively, if a component inside the lever switch is damaged, the entire lever switch can be replaced directly, making disassembly and replacement of the lever switch more convenient and quick, thereby reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a toggle switch includes: a housing 1 and a circuit board 2, the housing 1 and the circuit board 2 being joined together to form a cavity 4; a toggle assembly 3, the toggle assembly 3 being installed inside the cavity 4, and at least a portion of the toggle assembly 3 extending through the housing 1 to the outside of the cavity 4, the toggle assembly 3 being configured such that moving the portion of the toggle assembly 3 outside the cavity 4 can cause the toggle assembly 3 inside the cavity 4 to swing; and a trigger assembly 5, the trigger assembly 5 being installed inside the cavity 4, and the trigger assembly 5 being located between the circuit board 2 and the toggle assembly 3; the toggle assembly 3 inside the cavity 4 abuts against the trigger assembly 5, and during the swinging process of the toggle assembly 3 inside the cavity 4, it can push the trigger assembly 5 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4, so that the trigger assembly 5 abuts against the circuit board 2, triggering the circuit switch.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during use, the lever assembly 3 outside the cavity 4 is moved, which drives the lever assembly 3 inside the cavity 4 to rotate, causing the trigger assembly 5 installed between the lever assembly 3 and the circuit board 2 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4, thereby causing the trigger assembly 5 to abut against and press the circuit board 2 to trigger the circuit switch.

[0055] During installation, a portion of the lever assembly 3 and trigger assembly 5 are first fixed within the cavity 4 formed by the splicing of the housing 1 and the circuit board 2 using positioning posts on the housing 1. The positioning posts then pass through the circuit board 2 to position the circuit board 2, trigger assembly 5, and a portion of the lever assembly 3. Finally, bolts are passed through the through holes on the circuit board 2 and screwed into the threaded holes on the housing 1, thereby fixing the circuit board 2 and the lever assembly 3 and trigger assembly 5 within the cavity 4 into the housing 1. This secures the lever switch, ensuring a tight connection between the internal components and the assembled lever assembly, forming a stable whole. This reduces the possibility of loosening or displacement of parts within the lever switch, thus guaranteeing its normal operation. Furthermore, the assembled lever switch can be packaged separately for use during automotive seat assembly, facilitating the assembly, replacement, and disassembly of the lever switch and related accessories by technicians, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the lever assembly 3 includes a lever 31 and a pressing member 32. The pressing member 32 is installed inside the cavity 4, and multiple evenly distributed side edges 321 are formed on the pressing member 32. Each side edge 321 abuts against the trigger assembly 5. One end of the lever 31 is located outside the cavity 4, and the other end of the lever 31 passes through the housing 1 and is connected to the pressing member 32. Moving one end of the lever 31 can drive each side edge 321 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4, so that each side edge 321 can push the trigger assembly 5 to abut against the circuit board 2 during the movement, thereby triggering the circuit switch.

[0057] The user moves the lever 31 in a certain direction according to the needs, causing the side 321 in the same direction inside the cavity 4 to rotate, thereby pushing the trigger component 5 that abuts against the side 321 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4, and further causing the trigger component 5 to abut against the circuit board 2, thereby triggering the required circuit switch; the design of multiple sides 321 makes it convenient for the user to move the lever 31 to the corresponding direction according to different needs and scenarios, thereby realizing the switching of different functions.

[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, an arc groove 322 is formed on the pressing member 32, and the arc groove 322 is located at the center of the pressing member 32; the triggering component 5 includes a limiting plate 51, and a convex cylinder 511 is formed on the limiting plate 51, and the convex cylinder 511 is arranged along the thickness direction of the cavity 4; the arc groove 321 abuts against the convex cylinder 511 so that one end of the toggle lever 31 can drive each side 321 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4.

[0059] During installation, when the convex cylinder 511 is embedded in the arc groove 322, the position between the pressing member 32 and the limiting plate 51 can be clearly defined, preventing the pressing member 32 and the limiting plate 51 from wobbling or shifting, thus ensuring stable installation and use. Furthermore, the convex cylinder 511 provides good guidance for the arc groove 322, allowing the pressing member 32 to rotate smoothly when the lever 31 is turned, thereby enabling the side 321 to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4. This ensures the accuracy of the pressing member 32's movement and prevents accidental activation of the lever switch.

[0060] Preferably, the limiting plate 51 extends around the periphery of the cavity 4 towards the housing 1 to form a buckle, and the housing 1 has a first slot. The buckle engages with the first slot, so that the trigger block 53 between the limiting plate 51 and the housing 1 abuts against the lever assembly 3 in the cavity 4, preventing the trigger block 53 from moving within the cavity 4.

[0061] like Figure 5 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the triggering component 5 further includes a conductive contact plate 52, on which multiple rubber buttons 521 are disposed. The rubber buttons 521 are evenly distributed, and each rubber button 521 corresponds to a side edge 321, so that when the side edge 321 moves along the thickness direction of the cavity 4, it can push each rubber button 521 to abut against the circuit board 2. Multiple switch modules 21 are disposed on the circuit board 2, each switch module 21 corresponding to each rubber button 521, so that each rubber button 521 can trigger each switch module 21. The side edge 321, rubber buttons 521, and switch modules 21 correspond one-to-one, eliminating the need for users to search for special switches; they can simply move the lever 31 to the corresponding direction according to their needs, thereby improving user operating efficiency.

[0062] Preferably, both the conductive contact plate 52 and the limiting plate 51 are provided with positioning holes, and the positioning post on the housing 1 passes through the positioning holes of the conductive contact plate 52 and the limiting plate 51, so that the conductive contact plate 52 and the limiting plate 51 are fixed on the housing 1, and finally the circuit board 2 and the housing 1 are fastened together by bolts.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lever assembly 3 further includes a square rod 33, and the other end of the lever 31 is connected to the square rod 33; a square hole 11 is formed on the housing 1, and the square rod 33 passes through the square hole 11 and is connected to the pressing member 32, so that the other end of the lever 31 can swing in four directions.

[0064] The cooperation between the square rod 33 and the square hole 11 restricts the direction of the lever switch, ensuring that when the lever 31 is rotated, the lever 31 will only rotate in the four directions of the square rod 33. This also prevents the lever 31 from deviating and causing accidental activation, thus improving the accuracy of use.

[0065] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four sides 321, which are arranged in a cross shape. A limiting groove 12 is formed on the housing 1, and the limiting groove 12 has a cross-shaped structure. Each side 321 is located in the limiting groove 12, so that when the other end of the lever 31 swings in four directions, each side 321 can move in the limiting groove 12 along the thickness direction of the cavity 4.

[0066] The limiting groove 12 restricts the left and right sway of the side 321, ensuring that when the lever 31 is rotated, the side 321 will only rotate along the direction of the limiting groove 12, improving the stability of the lever switch. The four ends of the cross-shaped limiting groove 12 are recessed inward to form a second slot. The two ends of the trigger block 53 extend along the thickness direction of the cavity 4 to form a locking part. The locking part is locked in the second slot, so that the second slot on the housing 1 restricts the movement direction of the trigger block 53, ensuring that the trigger block 53 can only move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4 after the side 321 is rotated, thereby preventing the trigger block 53 from moving inside the cavity 4 and causing the lever switch to fail, thus reducing the maintenance time of the lever switch.

[0067] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 51 also has four limiting holes 512, each corresponding to a side 321; the number of rubber buttons 521 is a multiple of four, and the multiples of four rubber buttons 521 are evenly distributed, and each rubber button 521 can pass through the limiting holes 512 and abut against the side 321. The rubber buttons 521 are confined within the limiting holes 512, making it less likely for the rubber buttons 521 to shift, thus ensuring the normal operation of the toggle switch.

[0068] Preferably, the limiting plate 51 and the conductive contact plate 52 are also connected by bolts, so that the conductive contact plate 52 and the limiting plate 51 are securely connected to prevent the rubber button 521 from falling out of the limiting hole 512.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the triggering component 5 further includes a trigger block 53. There are four trigger blocks 53. Each trigger block 53 is movably mounted on the housing 1, and each trigger block 53 is configured to move along the thickness direction of the cavity 4. Each trigger block 53 corresponds to each side 321, and each side 321 abuts against each rubber button 521 through each trigger block 53.

[0070] Preferably, there are eight rubber buttons 521, arranged in pairs, each passing through a corresponding limiting hole 512 and contacting a corresponding trigger block 53. A semi-cylindrical button is formed in the middle of the trigger block 53, which reduces the contact area between the side 321 and the trigger block 53. This makes the contact between the trigger block 53 and the side 321 smoother, reducing the jamming phenomenon. The smaller contact area also allows the user to use less force to make the side 321 and the trigger block 53 work, thereby improving the trigger sensitivity.

[0071] like Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, each rubber button 521 is provided with conductive particles 522. When each rubber button 521 abuts against the circuit board 2, the conductive particles 522 can conduct with the circuit board 2 to trigger the circuit switch.

[0072] Preferably, there are eight conductive particles 522, and each conductive particle 522 is evenly distributed inside the rubber button 521, so that the conductive particles 522 are confined inside the rubber button 521. This ensures that when the side 321 presses down the trigger block 53, the trigger block 53 presses down the rubber button 521, so that the conductive particles 522 slide down and contact the switch module 21 on the circuit board 2, triggering the circuit switch. Moreover, the conductive particles 522 correspond one-to-one with the switch module 21 on the circuit board 2, ensuring smooth switching and improving the accuracy of switching.

[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the lever assembly 3 further includes a spring 34 and a top pin 35. The other end of the lever 31 has a mounting groove 311. The spring 34 is installed in the mounting groove 311. One end of the top pin 35 is installed in the mounting groove 311 and abuts against the spring 34. Pressing the top pin 35 can compress the spring 34, so that the spring 34 has a tendency to extend, thereby causing each side 321 to abut against the trigger assembly 5.

[0074] Preferably, the top of the mounting groove 311 is a T-shaped groove, and the outer periphery of the top pin 35 has a raised rib. This raised rib is set in the T-shaped groove so that the top pin 35 will not rotate in the mounting groove 311 during installation, thus preventing the top pin 35 from falling off. Secondly, the outer periphery of the top pin 35 and the inner periphery of the spring 34, as well as the outer periphery of the spring 34 and the inner periphery of the mounting groove 311, are all interference fits, further preventing the top pin 35 from falling off the spring 34. After the toggle switch is fully installed, the top pin 35 can be pressed with a uniform external force, causing the spring 34 to exert a downward force, which in turn pushes the side 321 down. This ensures that the side 321 inside the toggle switch abuts against the trigger block 53, and the conductive particles 522 are in close contact with the circuit board 2. This reduces any minor gaps or looseness that may have occurred during the installation and manufacturing of the toggle switch, thus achieving pre-compression of the toggle switch. This allows the toggle switch to reach a more stable state before formal use, limiting the range of motion of the lever 31 and ensuring that it moves within a reasonable range. This further improves the stability and reliability of the toggle switch, and the toggle switch moves more smoothly after pre-compression, reducing jamming and jitter.

[0075] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
