Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing toggle switches generally consist of basic components such as an operating handle, a base, contacts, and a spring. The operating handle is used to manually switch the switch between on and off states. The base serves as the basic structure to support and fix other components. The contacts are responsible for connecting and disconnecting the circuit, and the spring provides the restoring force for the operating handle. Currently, various types of toggle switches are widely available on the market. Most toggle switches have poor sealing and low protection levels, making it easy for moisture to enter the inside of the toggle switch, leading to failure of internal components or short circuits in the internal circuit.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN219591284U discloses a toggle switch. This device ensures the sealing between the waterproof cap and the threaded connection section through a waterproof gasket. On the other hand, it uses an O-ring to improve the sealing between the crank and the waterproof cap. Then, it uses a sealing ring to improve the sealing at the connection between the lower cover and the upper cover, further improving the overall sealing effect of the device. However, the device lacks a positioning mechanism inside the inner shell, which may cause the crank to loosen during operation, thereby reducing the overall sealing performance.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new type of toggle switch, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A novel toggle switch includes: a base, which has an anti-reverse locking block inside, a movable support plate movably mounted on the anti-reverse locking block, and a pin assembly at the bottom of the movable support plate;

[0008] A connecting shell is fitted and snapped onto the base. A fastening nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the connecting shell. A driving component is movably installed inside the connecting shell. A sliding rod is movably installed on one side of the driving component opposite to the movable support plate. The driving component has a cavity for the sliding rod to slide in. A spring is fixedly connected inside the cavity. The sliding rod and the spring abut against each other. An upper positioning bushing and a lower positioning bushing are riveted together inside the connecting shell. The upper and lower positioning bushings are snapped together and fitted onto the driving component. A waterproof sealing ring with a cap-shaped structure is provided between the upper and lower positioning bushings and fitted onto the driving component. A circuit board is provided between the lower positioning bushing and the base. An O-ring is fixedly connected to the contact surface between the lower positioning bushing and the base.

[0010] Optionally, a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod, and the spring is sleeved on the positioning rod.

[0011] Optionally, the threads on the outer wall of the connecting housing are flattened to form a positioning surface.

[0012] Optionally, multiple snap-fit ​​blocks are fixedly connected to the base, and the connecting housing has snap-fit ​​slots for the snap-fit ​​blocks to be inserted into.

[0013] Optionally, the driving component includes a handle, an annular light-emitting ring, a toggle positioning post, and a toggle positioning ring. The handle is movably disposed within the connecting housing, and the sliding rod is movably disposed within the handle. The toggle positioning post and the toggle positioning ring are sequentially mounted on the handle, one above the other. The toggle positioning ring is mounted on the waterproof sealing ring, and the annular light-emitting ring is mounted on the outer wall of the toggle positioning post and the toggle positioning ring, and is connected to the upper seat of the positioning bushing and the inner wall of the connecting housing.

[0014] Optionally, a corrugated sleeve is fixedly connected between the toggle positioning post and the handle, and anti-slip texture is provided on the handle along its length.

[0015] Optionally, the driving component includes a lower button base and a upper button cover. The lower button base is movably disposed within the connecting housing. The waterproof sealing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the lower button base. The lower button base is movably connected to the upper positioning bushing.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:

[0017] By setting up an upper positioning bushing, a lower positioning bushing, and a waterproof sealing ring, the waterproof effect can be achieved by tightly fitting the upper positioning bushing, the lower positioning bushing, and the waterproof sealing ring together and then riveting them together with the external connecting shell. This improves the overall waterproof performance of the device and ensures its normal use.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0034] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel toggle switch, including a base 12, which has an anti-reverse locking block 13 inside. A movable support plate 16 is movably mounted on the anti-reverse locking block 13. The bottom of the movable support plate 16 has a pin assembly, which connects to a housing 2. The housing 2 is fitted and locked onto the base 12. A fastening nut 6 is threaded onto the outer wall of the housing 2. A driving component is movably mounted inside the housing 2. A sliding rod 19 is movably mounted on one side of the driving component opposite to the movable support plate 16. The driving component has a cavity 22 for the sliding rod 19 to slide in. The cavity 22 is fixed inside... A spring 18 is fixedly connected, and a sliding rod 19 abuts against the spring 18. Inside the connecting housing 2, an upper positioning bushing 8 and a lower positioning bushing 10 are riveted together. The upper positioning bushing 8 and the lower positioning bushing 10 are interlocked and sleeved on the driving component. A waterproof sealing ring 9 is provided between the upper positioning bushing 8 and the lower positioning bushing 10 and is sleeved on the driving component. The waterproof sealing ring 9 has a cap-shaped structure. A circuit board 11 is provided between the lower positioning bushing 10 and the base 12. An O-ring 7 is fixedly connected to the contact surface between the lower positioning bushing 10 and the base 12.

[0035] Specifically, the base 12 serves as the basic support for the entire toggle switch. The internal anti-reverse locking block 13 supports and restricts the movable support plate 16, ensuring its stable movement within a certain range and preventing easy backward movement. The pin assembly at the bottom of the movable support plate 16 is crucial for circuit connection, electrically connecting to the external circuit. The connecting housing 2 and the base 12 are fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure. The driving component, located inside the connecting housing 2, is the core component for switch operation and function control. When the driving component is operated, the sliding rod 19 compresses or releases the spring 18. The elastic force of the spring 18 provides restoring force and a certain buffering effect for the movement of the sliding rod 19. The driving component allows adjustment of the movable support plate 16, thereby controlling the connection between the pin assembly and the movable support plate 16. The upper positioning bushing 8 and the lower positioning bushing 10 are snapped together and fitted onto the driving component, providing positioning and support to ensure the driving component moves in the correct direction. The precise position and direction of movement; on the other hand, the snap-fit ​​structure between them and the way they cooperate with the drive component ensure the stability and sealing of the overall structure; the waterproof sealing ring 9 can better adapt to the shape of the drive component, effectively cover gaps that may allow water to enter, prevent water from entering the switch, and play an important protective role for the electrical components of the switch. The circuit board 11 is used to realize the circuit control function of the switch. The circuit board 11 completes the control of circuit opening and closing operations through electrical connection with other components such as the pin assembly; the O-ring 7 on the contact surface between the lower positioning bushing 10 and the base 12 further enhances the sealing performance between the two, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the switch from the connection point between the two, protecting key components such as the circuit board 11. The waterproof effect can be achieved by tightly fitting the upper positioning bushing 8, the lower positioning bushing 10 and the waterproof sealing ring 9 and then riveting them together with the external connecting shell 2, which improves the overall waterproof performance of the device and ensures the normal use of the device.

[0036] It should be noted that the anti-retraction block 13 is mainly used to limit the range of motion of the movable support plate 16, preventing it from retracting under external force or vibration, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the pin assembly and the external circuit. The movable support plate 16 can move to a certain extent on the anti-retraction block 13. This movement is to cooperate with the operation of the driving component to realize the function switching of the switch. For example, when the driving component applies force to the movable support plate 16 through components such as the sliding rod 19, the movable support plate 16 can adjust its position accordingly, thereby changing the connection state between the pin assembly and the circuit board 11, realizing the on / off control of the circuit. Secondly, the driving component is the component that receives external operating force and converts it into internal mechanical motion. When the user operates the switch, the driving component will be subjected to external force, and the internal sliding rod 19 slides in the cavity 22. The movement of the sliding rod 19 is transmitted through other components. The cooperation of components, such as contact with the movable support plate 16, enables control of the switch state. The spring 18 provides elastic restoring force to the sliding rod 19 within the cavity 22. When the external force disappears, the spring 18 pushes the sliding rod 19 back to its initial position, thereby restoring the switch to its initial state or another working state. For example, when the user presses the drive component, the sliding rod 19 compresses the spring 18, and the drive component moves the related components, causing a change in the connection between the pin assembly and the circuit board 11, thus achieving circuit conduction. When the user releases the drive component, the elastic force of the spring 18 resets the sliding rod 19, causing the drive component and related components to return to their initial positions, and the circuit is disconnected. Furthermore, the upper positioning bushing 8 and the lower positioning bushing 10 are interlocked and fitted onto the drive component, providing precise positioning and support for the drive component, ensuring that the drive component will not shift or wobble during movement. The waterproof sealing ring 9 is located between the two and fits onto the drive component. Its cap-shaped structure can fit tightly into the shape of the drive component, effectively preventing moisture from entering the switch through the gap between the drive component and the positioning bushing. In actual use, even in humid environments or when water splashes onto the switch, the waterproof sealing ring 9 can still play a good waterproof role, protecting the electrical components inside the switch from moisture damage and ensuring the normal operation of the switch.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and the same 3 and Figure 5As shown, the pin assembly includes a positioning pin 15, an LED pin 14, and a connecting pin 17 fixed on the base 12. The positioning pin 15 is positioned directly opposite the center of the movable support plate 16. There are multiple sets of LED pins 14 and connecting pins 17, which are arranged one-to-one with each other along the bottom of the movable support plate 16. Specifically, when the switch is working, these pins make corresponding electrical connections with the external circuit according to different functions. For example, the positioning pin 15 may be used to determine the position of the switch or provide a reference signal, the LED pin 14 is used to connect a light-emitting diode to display the switch status, and the connecting pin 17 is used to realize the on / off control of the circuit. It should be noted that the installation structure and installation method between the pin assembly and the base 12 are existing technologies.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a positioning rod 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 19, and a spring 18 is sleeved on the positioning rod 20. Specifically, the positioning rod 20 at the top of the sliding rod 19 cooperates with the spring 18. When the driving component is subjected to external force, the sliding rod 19 slides in the cavity 22, compressing the spring 18. The positioning rod 20 plays a role in positioning and guiding the spring 18, ensuring that the elastic force of the spring 18 can be evenly applied to the sliding rod 19. When the external force disappears, the spring 18 pushes the sliding rod 19 to reset through the positioning rod 20.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a positioning surface 26 is flattened on the thread of the outer wall of the connecting housing 2. Specifically, by flattening one side of the external thread of the connecting housing 2 to form the positioning surface 26, the insertion and installation of the connecting housing 2 can be quickly realized. Furthermore, multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 24 are fixedly connected on the base 12, and the connecting housing 2 has a snap-fit ​​groove 25 for the snap-fit ​​blocks 24 to be inserted. The snap-fit ​​blocks 24 on the base 12 are inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 25 on the connecting housing 2 to realize the snap-fit ​​engagement between the two. This snap-fit ​​method can quickly position the connection during assembly and provides a certain auxiliary fixing effect during use.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the driving component includes a handle 1, an annular light-emitting ring 4, a toggle positioning post 3, and a toggle positioning ring 5. The handle 1 is movably disposed within the connecting housing 2, and the sliding rod 19 is movably disposed within the handle 1. The toggle positioning post 3 and the toggle positioning ring 5 are sequentially mounted on the handle 1, one above the other. The toggle positioning ring 5 is mounted on the waterproof sealing ring 9. The annular light-emitting ring 4 is mounted on the outer wall of the toggle positioning post 3 and the toggle positioning ring 5, and is connected to the upper seat of the positioning bushing 8 and the inner wall of the connecting housing 2. Specifically, when the handle 1 is operated, the sliding rod 19 moves within the handle 1, driving the movable support plate 16 to move, thus toggle the... The positioning post 3 and the toggle positioning ring 5 are used to determine the operating position and range of the handle 1. The annular light ring 4 is used to illuminate and display the switch status. For example, when the handle 1 is toggled, the cooperation of the toggle positioning post 3 and the toggle positioning ring 5 enables the sliding rod 19 to accurately switch the circuit on and off. At the same time, the annular light ring 4 lights up or turns off to indicate different states of the switch. The toggle positioning post 3 and the toggle positioning ring 5 ensure the accuracy and stability of the operation and avoid misoperation. The annular light ring 4 enhances the visualization effect of the switch, allowing users to intuitively understand the working status of the switch.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a corrugated sleeve 27 is fixedly connected between the toggle positioning post 3 and the handle 1. Anti-slip textures 21 are distributed along the length of the handle 1. Specifically, the corrugated sleeve 27 connects the toggle positioning post 3 and the handle 1, serving a sealing and cushioning function. The anti-slip textures 21 on the handle 1 increase the friction on its surface. Example

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the driving component includes a lower button seat 23 and a upper button cover 28. The lower button seat 23 is movably disposed within the connecting housing 2, and a waterproof sealing ring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the lower button seat 23. The lower button seat 23 is movably connected to the upper positioning bushing 8, and the upper button cover 28 is sleeved on the top of the lower button seat 23. Specifically, when the upper button cover 28 is pressed, the lower button seat 23 drives the movable rod to move, thereby controlling the movable support plate 16 and improving the versatility of the device.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The base 12 serves as the fundamental support for the entire toggle switch. The internal anti-reverse locking block 13 supports and restricts the movable support plate 16, ensuring its stable movement within a certain range and preventing easy backward movement. The pin assembly at the bottom of the movable support plate 16 is crucial for circuit connection, allowing electrical connection to external circuitry. The connecting housing 2 and the base 12 are fixed together via a snap-fit ​​structure. The driving component, located inside the connecting housing 2, is the core component for switch operation and function control. When the driving component is operated, the sliding rod 19 compresses or releases the spring 18. The elastic force of the spring 18 provides restoring force and a certain buffering effect for the movement of the sliding rod 19. The driving component allows adjustment of the movable support plate 16, thereby controlling the connection between the pin assembly and the movable support plate 16. The upper positioning bushing 8 and the lower positioning bushing 10 snap together and fit onto the driving component, providing positioning and support to ensure the driving component moves correctly. The movement in position and direction; on the other hand, the snap-fit ​​structure between them and the way they cooperate with the drive component ensure the stability and sealing of the overall structure; the waterproof sealing ring 9 can better adapt to the shape of the drive component, effectively cover the gaps that may be infiltrated by water, prevent water from entering the switch, and play an important protective role for the electrical components of the switch. The circuit board 11 is used to realize the circuit control function of the switch. The circuit board 11 completes the control of the circuit opening and closing operations through electrical connection with other components such as the pin assembly; the O-ring 7 on the contact surface between the lower positioning bushing 10 and the base 12 further enhances the sealing performance between the two, preventing dust, water and other impurities from entering the switch from the connection between the two, protecting key components such as the circuit board 11. The waterproof effect can be achieved by tightly fitting the upper positioning bushing 8, the lower positioning bushing 10 and the waterproof sealing ring 9 and then riveting them together with the external connecting shell 2, which improves the overall waterproof performance of the device and ensures the normal use of the device.
