[0074] Optionally, when the switch is in the third state, the swing of the conductive piece 3 to one side can make the switch switch to the first state; when the switch is in the third state, the swing of the conductive piece 3 to the other side can make the switch switch to the second state.
[0075] It can be understood that the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 can be arranged in a staggered manner along the circumferential direction B of the swing of the conductive member 3, that is, the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 have a height difference, so that the first contact branch 320 and the second contact branch 322 are respectively in contact with the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52; the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 can also be arranged in a non-staggered manner along the circumferential direction B of the swing of the conductive member 3, for example, the first contact branch 320 and the second contact branch 322 are arranged on the opposite sides of the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52, respectively, in this arrangement, the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 can have no height difference.
[0076] As shown in Figure 5 some embodiments, optionally, the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 are arranged in a staggered manner along the circumferential direction B of the swing of the conductive member 3, the first contact branch 320 is located on the side of the third contact branch 50 close to the fourth contact branch 52, and the second contact branch 322 is located on the side of the fourth contact branch 52 close to the third contact branch 50.
[0077] In this embodiment, the third contact branch 50 and the fourth contact branch 52 are arranged in a staggered manner along the circumferential direction B of the swing of the conductive member 3, so that as the conductive member 3 swings, the relative positions between the first contact branch 320 and the third contact branch 50 change, and the relative positions between the second contact branch 322 and the fourth contact branch 52 change, thereby realizing the contact and conduction of the first contact branch 320 and the second contact branch 322 at different positions. When the switch is in the first state, the first contact branch 320 is in contact and conduction with the third contact branch 50, and the second contact branch 322 is separated from the fourth contact branch 52, on this basis, the conductive member 3 is driven to swing, so that the first contact branch 320 is separated from the third contact branch 50, and the second contact branch 322 is separated from the fourth contact branch 52, the switch is in the third state, on this basis, the conductive member 3 is continuously driven to swing, so that the first contact branch 320 gradually moves away from the third contact branch 50, and the second contact branch 322 gradually moves close to the fourth contact branch 52 until the second contact branch 322 is in contact and conduction with the fourth contact branch 52, so that the switch is in the second state, that is, during the switching of the switch from the first state to the second state, the third state needs to be passed through, thereby breaking the circuit and ensuring the safety performance of the switch.
[0078] As shown in Figure 14 some embodiments, optionally, one end of the housing 1 is provided with an opening 10, and the input end 2, the first output end 4 and the second output end 5 at least partially extend out of the other end of the housing 1; the second contact branch 322 is located on the side of the first contact branch 320 close to the opening 10, and the third contact branch 50 is located on the side of the fourth contact branch 52 close to the opening 10.
[0079] In this embodiment, one end of the shell 1 is provided with an opening 10, and the input end 2, the first output end 4 and the second output end 5 are arranged opposite to the opening 10 and at least partially extend from the other end of the shell 1, so as to facilitate wiring of the switch. Among them, the second contact branch 322 is located on the side of the first contact branch 320 close to the opening 10, and the third contact branch 50 is located on the side of the fourth contact branch 52 close to the opening 10, so that the second contact branch 322 is higher than the first contact branch 320, and the third contact branch 50 is higher than the fourth contact branch 52. This arrangement increases the stroke of the conductive part 3 when the switch is switched from the first state to the second state, and can form the third state between the first state and the second state, thereby enabling the circuit to be switched to the open state first and then to another conduction state during switching, thereby improving safety performance.

The rocker button 7 is connected to the conductive element 3 and is used to drive the conductive element 3 to sway so that the switch switches between a first state, a second state and a third state. In the first state, the first end of the rocker button 7 is tilted relative to the housing 1. In the second state, the second end of the rocker button 7 is tilted relative to the housing 1.

When both ends of the rocker button 7 are exposed in the housing 1, that is, when the rocker button 7 is in the middle position, both the first output terminal 4 and the second output terminal 5 are disconnected from the input terminal 2.
[0087] Optionally, when the first end of the rocker button 7 is pressed, causing the second end of the rocker button 7 to tilt, the switch switches to the second state; when the second end of the rocker button 7 is pressed, causing the first end of the rocker button 7 to tilt, the switch switches to the first state; when the rocker button 7 is in the balanced position, the switch is in the third state.

The first heating part is connected with the first output end 4, and the second heating part is connected with the second output end 5. In the case that the switch is in the first state, the first heating part and the second heating part are both in the open state, and then the cooking part 8 is heated by the first heating part and the second heating part at the same time, so as to improve the heating power. In the case that the switch is in the second state, the second heating part is in the open state, and then the cooking part 8 is heated only by the second heating part in this state, so as to realize the switching of the multiple heating modes.
[0093] In some embodiments, optionally, the cooking part 8 comprises a first baking tray 80, and the first heating part is used for heating the first baking tray 80; a second baking tray 82, and the second heating part is used for heating the second baking tray 82, wherein the first baking tray 80 and the second baking tray 82 are oppositely arranged.

In the case that the switch is in the second state, the first heating part stops working, and the second heating part heats the second baking tray 82, that is, only the second baking tray 82 works, so as to realize the frying of the food material. In the case that the switch is in the third state, the first heating part and the second heating part both stop working, and the cooking appliance is in the off state.
[0095] Optionally, the first baking tray 80 is an upper baking tray, and the second baking tray 82 is a lower baking tray.

[0098] The application can realize two working modes of controlling the lower baking tray heating and the upper and lower baking tray simultaneous heating of the baking machine only by three wiring ports under the premise of the unchanged appearance of the three-port rocker switch.
[0099] The conductive rocker crankshaft and the input tab crankshaft seat are stacked together, so that the current of the input tab is transmitted to the conductive rocker through the contact of the conductive rocker crankshaft and the input tab crankshaft seat, forming an effective conductive structure, and the conductive rocker is a rocker movement structure that can rotate freely.
[0100] 1. When the rocker switch is pressed to the left, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first static contact and the first moving contact are in conductive contact, and the third static contact and the third moving contact are in conductive contact (that is, the first contact branch 320 and the third contact branch 50 are in contact); the second static contact and the second moving contact are separated from each other, forming a conductive state in which the input tab is in conduction with the first output tab and the second output tab.

[0104] The rocker switch of the present application only needs three wiring ports, the structure is simple, and through improvement of the internal structure, three gear controls (neutral gear, one electrode conduction, and two electrodes conduction at the same time) are realized, and the practical working scene control problem of small household electrical appliances is solved.
[0105] Specifically, the cooking utensil includes a grilling machine, the grilling machine (electric baking pan) has two upper and lower baking trays, and the working states include lower baking tray heating, upper and lower baking tray simultaneous heating, and no heating of the upper and lower baking trays.
