Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a slope switch and a rangefinder. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, rangefinders use menu settings to implement slope switching, with LEDs indicating the switch status and mechanical sliding to indicate the status. However, to achieve stable switching, ball bearings or latches are used. For clearer status indication, mechanical sliding requires a relatively large travel. Ball bearings and latches cannot achieve stable switching over long travels, resulting in inconsistencies and instability in the slope switch. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a slope switch and a rangefinder. By improving the slope switch and utilizing the mutual repulsion principle of magnets, the slope switch can maintain stability on the basis of a large stroke, thereby alleviating the problems of false positioning and shaking of the slope switch.

[0004] This application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a slope switch, the slope switch comprising:

[0006] A switch base and a fixed magnet, wherein the fixed magnet is disposed on the switch base;

[0007] A sliding button and a movable magnet are provided. The sliding button is slidably disposed on the switch base, and the movable magnet is disposed on the sliding button. The sliding button is configured to allow the sliding button to switch between at least an on state and an off state.

[0008] In the open state, the fixed magnet and the movable magnet are misaligned and mutually repulsive, causing the sliding button to abut against one end of the switch base; in the closed state, the fixed magnet and the movable magnet are misaligned and mutually repulsive, causing the sliding button to abut against the other end of the switch base.

[0009] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the switch base includes a base and a limiting part. The base has a groove, and the sliding button is slidably disposed in the groove. The limiting part is disposed on the base and located at the opening of the groove. The limiting part is used to prevent the sliding button from disengaging from the groove. In the open state, the sliding button abuts against the end face of one end of the groove; in the closed state, the sliding button abuts against the end face of the other end of the groove.

[0010] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the limiting portion includes at least one of the following:

[0011] Limit screws, limit stops, and folded edges.

[0012] In some embodiments of the first aspect, in the open state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide is provided with an open identification mark; in the closed state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide is provided with a closed identification mark.

[0013] In some embodiments of the first aspect, in the open state, the sliding button and the end face of one end of the slide groove abut against each other and their inclined surfaces cooperate; in the closed state, the sliding button and the end face of the other end of the slide groove abut against each other and their inclined surfaces cooperate.

[0014] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the fixed magnet is disposed in the middle of the slide groove, and the movable magnet is disposed in the middle of the sliding button;

[0015] In the direction of movement of the sliding button, the length of the movable magnet is at least half the travel of the sliding button.

[0016] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the fixed magnet is disposed at the bottom of the groove, the movable magnet is disposed on the side of the sliding button facing the bottom of the groove, and the fixed magnet and the movable magnet at least partially abut against each other.

[0017] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the slope switch further includes:

[0018] A magnetic detection element is connected to the switch base, and the magnetic detection element is used to obtain the magnetic flux or magnetic polarity change of the fixed magnet.

[0019] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the magnetic detection element includes a magnetic sensor disposed on the switch base.

[0020] Secondly, this application also provides a rangefinder, the rangefinder including a slope switch as described in any of the above embodiments;

[0021] Alternatively, the rangefinder may include a housing and a slope switch as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the housing and the switch base are integrally formed.

[0022] The embodiments of this application have the following advantages:

[0023] This application provides a ramp switch. When the sliding button is slid to the "on" position, the fixed magnet and the movable magnet are misaligned, and their magnetic forces repel each other. This repulsive force ensures that the sliding button is firmly abutted against one end of the switch base, preventing displacement even under slight external interference. When the sliding button is slid to the "off" position, similarly, the fixed magnet and the movable magnet are misaligned again, and the magnetic repulsion ensures that the sliding button is firmly abutted against the other end of the switch base. The movable magnet is repelled by the fixed magnet and remains in the off position, ensuring stability.

[0024] Clearly, by carefully designing the positions and relative polarities of the fixed and movable magnets, the magnetic repulsion ensures that, under any conditions, it provides sufficient force to counteract external disturbances (such as vibration or minor impacts), maintaining the stable position of the sliding button. Magnetic repulsion not only solves the instability problem of traditional mechanical locking methods over long strokes but also provides a smoother and more reliable user experience. Even with a large stroke, magnetic repulsion ensures that the sliding button will not exhibit play or wobble, improving overall reliability and accuracy. Furthermore, compared to mechanical locking methods, magnetic repulsion is less prone to wear, extending the device's lifespan.

[0039] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0040] It should be noted that when an element is said to be "fixed" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is said to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. Conversely, when an element is said to be "directly" on another element, there is no intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0041] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the template description is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0044] In related technologies, rangefinders often use menu settings to implement slope switching, while simultaneously using LEDs to indicate the switch status and employing a mechanical sliding mechanism. However, to achieve stable switching, ball bearings or latches are used. For clearer status indication, mechanical sliding requires a relatively large stroke. Ball bearings and latches cannot achieve stable switching over long strokes, resulting in issues like misalignment and wobbling in the slope switch.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a slope switch, which includes a switch base 100, a fixed magnet 400, a sliding button 200, and a movable magnet 300. The fixed magnet 400 is disposed in the switch base 100; the sliding button 200 is slidably disposed in the switch base 100, and the movable magnet 300 is disposed in the sliding button 200. The sliding of the sliding button 200 allows it to switch between at least an on state and a off state. In the on state, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 are misaligned and mutually exclusive, causing the sliding button 200 to abut against one end of the switch base 100. In the off state, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 are misaligned and mutually exclusive, causing the sliding button 200 to abut against the other end of the switch base 100.

[0046] In these embodiments, an improved ramp switch is provided, which aims to maintain a stable switching state over a large stroke by using the mutual repulsion principle of magnets, thereby solving the problems of false switching and wobbling in the prior art.

[0047] The switch base 100, as the basic structure of the entire slope switch, provides the sliding track for the sliding button 200 and the mounting position for the fixed magnet 400. It is typically made of robust and durable materials (such as plastic or insulated metal) to ensure stability and reliability during long-term use. The fixed magnet 400 is housed within the switch base 100 and remains stationary. It interacts with the movable magnet 300, achieving stable positioning of the sliding button 200 in different states through magnetic repulsion.

[0048] The sliding button 200 can slide along a predetermined path within the switch holder 100, allowing the user to manually operate it to switch states. The sliding button 200 needs sufficient friction to prevent accidental sliding while ensuring smooth operation. A movable magnet 300 is installed inside or on the surface of the sliding button 200 and moves with it. It interacts with the fixed magnet 400, and through magnetic repulsion, ensures that the sliding button 200 firmly abuts against both ends of the switch holder 100 in different states.

[0049] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "on" position, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 are misaligned, and their magnetic forces repel each other. This repulsive force ensures that the sliding button 200 is firmly abutted against one end of the switch base 100, preventing displacement even under slight external interference. When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "off" position, similarly, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 are misaligned again, and the magnetic repulsive force ensures that the sliding button 200 is firmly abutted against the other end of the switch base 100. The movable magnet 300 is repelled by the fixed magnet 400 and remains in the off position, ensuring stability.

[0050] For example, the sliding button 200 can move in a straight line or an arc, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] Clearly, by carefully designing the positions and relative polarities of the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300, sufficient force is provided by magnetic repulsion to counteract external interference (such as vibration or minor impacts) and maintain the stable position of the sliding button 200 under any condition. Magnetic repulsion not only solves the instability problem of traditional mechanical locking methods under long strokes but also provides a smoother and more reliable user experience. Even with a large stroke, magnetic repulsion ensures that the sliding button 200 will not exhibit play or wobble, improving overall reliability and accuracy. Furthermore, compared to mechanical locking methods, magnetic repulsion is less prone to wear, extending the lifespan of the device.

[0052] For example, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 should be magnets with sufficiently strong magnetic field strength, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, to ensure that the mutual repulsion force is large enough, while also taking into account cost and volume factors.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the switch base 100 includes a base 110 and a limiting part 500. The base 110 has a sliding groove 120, and the sliding button 200 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 120. The limiting part 500 is disposed on the base 110 and is located at the opening of the sliding groove 120. The limiting part 500 is used to prevent the sliding button 200 from disengaging from the sliding groove 120. In the open state, the sliding button 200 and the end face of one end of the sliding groove 120 abut against each other. In the closed state, the sliding button 200 and the end face of the other end of the sliding groove 120 abut against each other.

[0054] In these embodiments, to further enhance the stability and reliability of the slope switch, the switch base 100 is designed to include a base 110 and a limiting portion 500. The switch base 100 includes the following structure:

[0055] The base 110 has a groove 120 inside to accommodate and guide the movement of the sliding button 200. Typically, the base 110 is made of a wear-resistant and smooth material, such as high-density plastic or metal, to ensure that the sliding button 200 can slide smoothly without being easily worn.

[0056] A limiting part 500 is disposed on the base 110 and located at the opening of the slide groove 120. The limiting part 500 prevents the sliding button 200 from accidentally disengaging from the slide groove 120 during operation, ensuring that it always moves within the predetermined track. The limiting part 500 can be a protrusion, a baffle, or other form of physical obstacle. Of course, it can also be a constricted structure, such as the slide groove 120 being a dovetail groove, a T-groove, etc., with the specific shape selected according to actual needs. Alternatively, in some cases, the limiting part 500 can be designed with a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the sliding button 200 to easily enter the slide groove 120 while preventing it from disengaging. For example, the limiting part 500 can be made of elastic rubber material, or the limiting part 500 and the base 110 can be detachably connected.

[0057] The width and depth of the slide groove 120 should precisely match the sliding button 200 to ensure smooth sliding and prevent loosening. A slight guide structure can be provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 120 to help the sliding button 200 more accurately align with the predetermined path.

[0058] For example, the limiting part 500 can be fixed to the base 110 by means of snaps, threads, etc., for easy assembly and maintenance. Considering the durability of long-term use, the limiting part 500 should be made of a sturdy and non-deformable material, such as metal or high-strength plastic.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting part 500 includes at least one of the following: a limiting screw, a limiting stop, or a folded edge.

[0060] In these embodiments, the design of the limiting part 500 can employ various methods to ensure that the sliding button 200 does not disengage from the slide groove 120 and remains stable in both open and closed states. Specifically, the limiting part 500 includes at least one of the following: a limiting screw, a limiting stop strip, or a folded edge. The following is a detailed description of these different limiting part 500 designs and their working principles:

[0061] A limit screw is threaded onto the base 110 and located at the opening of the slide groove 120 to prevent the sliding button 200 from dislodging from the slide groove 120. The extension length can be adjusted by rotating the limit screw, thereby precisely controlling the maximum travel of the sliding button 200. This allows users or manufacturers to fine-tune it according to actual needs to accommodate different sizes of sliding buttons 200 or different operating forces. The robust metal material provides a reliable fixing effect.

[0062] Limiting stops are typically elongated physical barriers installed at the openings at both ends of the slide rail 120. They completely prevent the sliding button 200 from exceeding its predetermined travel range. This helps the sliding button 200 to more accurately align with the path of the slide rail 120, reducing the possibility of misalignment.

[0063] The folded edge, formed by bending the edge of the base 110 to create a closed boundary, surrounds the slot of the slide groove 120, forming a complete barrier to prevent the sliding button 200 from dislodging from any direction. As part of the base 110, no additional parts are required, reducing assembly complexity. This makes the entire switch structure more compact and space-saving.

[0064] The width and depth of the slide groove 120 should be precisely matched with the sliding button 200 to ensure smooth sliding and prevent loosening.

[0065] In some embodiments, when in the open state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide 120 is provided with an open identification mark; when in the closed state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide 120 is provided with a closed identification mark.

[0066] In these embodiments, to further enhance the intuitiveness and accuracy of user operation, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide 120 displays corresponding identification marks when the sliding button 200 is in different states. Specifically, in the open state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide 120 is provided with an open identification mark; in the closed state, the exposed portion of the bottom of the slide 120 is provided with a closed identification mark.

[0067] By providing clear on / off identification marks at the bottom of the slide rail 120, users can intuitively see the current switch status without relying on LED indicators or other external prompts. This helps users move the sliding button 200 to the correct position more accurately, especially in low light conditions or when quick confirmation of status is required. The identification marks are located at the bottom of the slide rail 120 and are only revealed when the sliding button 200 is in a specific state.

[0068] For example, it could be a text label saying "ON" or "OFF," or an easily recognizable symbol (such as an arrow, icon, etc.). Alternatively, a high-contrast color combination could be used, such as white text on a black background, to ensure the label is clearly visible. Or, different colors could be used.

[0069] In other words, when the sliding button 200 is slid to the "on" position, it will abut against the end face of one end of the slide groove 120, at which point the exposed part of the bottom of the slide groove 120 will display the on identification mark. When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "off" position, it will abut against the end face of the other end of the slide groove 120, at which point the exposed part of the bottom of the slide groove 120 will display the off identification mark.

[0070] In some embodiments, in the open state, the end faces of the sliding button 200 and the slide groove 120 abut against each other and their inclined surfaces cooperate; in the closed state, the end faces of the sliding button 200 and the slide groove 120 abut against each other and their inclined surfaces cooperate.

[0071] In these embodiments, to further enhance the stability and reliability of the sliding button 200 in both open and closed states, the sliding button 200 and the end face of the slide groove 120 are designed with a beveled fit. This design not only ensures that the sliding button 200 can firmly abut against both ends of the slide groove 120, but also provides a smoother operating experience.

[0072] By using a beveled surface, the sliding button 200 can gradually apply pressure as it reaches the predetermined position, ensuring that it firmly abuts against the end face of the slide groove 120 and preventing play or wobbling. The beveled surface allows the sliding button 200 to transition more smoothly when approaching the end face, reducing the feeling of sticking and improving the user's operating experience.

[0073] For example, one side of the sliding button 200 has a beveled structure. When it slides to both ends of the slide groove 120, the beveled surface will fit against the corresponding beveled surface of the end face of the slide groove 120. The end faces of both ends of the slide groove 120 also have corresponding bevels that match the bevels of the sliding button 200 to achieve a tight fit.

[0074] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "on" position, the inclined surface of the sliding button 200 will gradually fit against the inclined surface of one end of the slide groove 120, and eventually completely abut against it. When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "off" position, the inclined surface of the sliding button 200 will gradually fit against the inclined surface of the other end of the slide groove 120, and eventually completely abut against it.

[0075] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixed magnet 400 is disposed in the middle of the slide groove 120, and a movable magnet 300 is disposed in the middle of the sliding button 200; in the moving direction of the sliding button 200, the length of the movable magnet 300 is at least half of the stroke of the sliding button 200.

[0076] In these embodiments, to ensure the stability and reliability of the sliding button 200 when switching between on and off states, a fixed magnet 400 is disposed in the middle of the slide groove 120, while a movable magnet 300 is disposed in the middle of the sliding button 200. Furthermore, in the direction of movement of the sliding button 200, the length of the movable magnet 300 is at least half the travel of the sliding button 200.

[0077] A fixed magnet 400 is disposed in the middle of the slide groove 120, providing a center point so that the sliding button 200 can be affected by the fixed magnet 400 at any position. A movable magnet 300 is disposed in the middle of the sliding button 200, moves with the sliding button 200, and always interacts with the fixed magnet 400.

[0078] In the direction of movement of the sliding button 200, the length of the movable magnet 300 is at least half the travel of the sliding button 200. This ensures that a portion of the movable magnet 300 always interacts with the fixed magnet 400 throughout the entire travel range, thereby achieving a stable repulsive or attractive effect.

[0079] This not only ensures that the sliding button 200 is subjected to stable magnetic force in any position, but also provides a more uniform tactile feel. The fixed magnet 400 is located in the center of the slide groove 120, ensuring that the sliding button 200 is centrally affected by the fixed magnet 400 regardless of its position. This design helps reduce offset and instability, especially with long travel distances. Users can feel a smooth change in resistance when pushing the sliding button 200, with clear tactile feedback from start to finish, enhancing the overall user experience.

[0080] For example, both the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 can be set to be circular, square, triangular, etc.

[0081] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, a fixed magnet 400 is disposed at the bottom of the slide groove 120, and a movable magnet 300 is disposed on the side of the sliding button 200 facing the bottom of the slide groove 120. The fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 at least partially abut against each other.

[0082] In these embodiments, to ensure the stability and reliability of the sliding button 200 between the open and closed states, a fixed magnet 400 is disposed at the bottom of the slide groove 120, while a movable magnet 300 is disposed on the side of the sliding button 200 facing the bottom of the slide groove 120. Furthermore, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 at least partially abut against each other.

[0083] A fixed magnet 400 is installed at the bottom of the slide 120 to provide a stable magnetic field source. A movable magnet 300 is located on the side of the sliding button 200 facing the bottom of the slide 120, moves with the sliding button 200, and always interacts with the fixed magnet 400.

[0084] The fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 maintain at least partial contact, ensuring that the magnetic repulsion or attraction between them persists even when the sliding button 200 is in different positions. This ensures that the sliding button 200 is stably influenced by the fixed magnet 400 throughout its travel range, resulting in more precise position control and greater stability. Because the magnets always maintain at least partial contact, the sliding button 200 does not exhibit noticeable play or wobble at any position, improving overall reliability and tactile feedback.

[0085] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "on" position, the inclined surface of the sliding button 200 gradually comes into contact with the inclined surface of one end of the slide groove 120, and eventually comes into complete contact. The fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 maintain partial contact, generating a mutual repulsion effect, so that the sliding button 200 is firmly abutted against one end of the slide groove 120, ensuring that there is no play or shaking.

[0086] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "closed" position, the inclined surface of the sliding button 200 gradually comes into contact with the inclined surface of the other end of the slide groove 120, and eventually comes into complete contact. Similarly, the fixed magnet 400 and the movable magnet 300 maintain partial contact, and the magnetic repulsion makes the sliding button 200 firmly abut against the other end of the slide groove 120, maintaining stability.

[0087] In some embodiments, the slope switch further includes a magnetic detection element connected to the switch base 100, the magnetic detection element being used to acquire the magnetic flux or magnetic polarity change of the fixed magnet 400.

[0088] To further enhance the functionality and reliability of the slope switch, a magnetic detection element is also included. This magnetic detection element is connected to the switch base 100 and is used to acquire the magnetic flux or magnetic polarity change of the fixed magnet 400, thereby achieving more accurate status detection and feedback.

[0089] By detecting changes in the magnetic flux or polarity of the fixed magnet 400, the magnetic detection component can accurately determine the position (on or off) of the sliding button 200. The detected magnetic field change is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the control system for further processing, such as displaying the status or triggering an alarm.

[0090] For example, the magnetic detection device includes a magnetic sensor and a display, the display and the magnetic sensor being electrically connected to display changes in the magnetic field. The magnetic sensor can be a Hall effect sensor, a linear Hall sensor, or a magnetoresistive sensor, etc.

[0091] The magnetic detection element is typically mounted close to the fixed magnet 400 to ensure sensitive detection of changes in the magnetic field. It can be embedded inside the switch base 100, maintaining a compact structure without affecting the overall appearance or tactile feel.

[0092] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "on" position, the movable magnet 300 and the fixed magnet 400 are misaligned and repel each other, causing the sliding button 200 to firmly abut against one end face of the slide groove 120. At this time, the magnetic detection element detects the change in magnetic flux or magnetic polarity of the fixed magnet 400 and outputs a corresponding signal to indicate the "on" state.

[0093] When the sliding button 200 is slid to the "off" position, the movable magnet 300 is again misaligned with the fixed magnet 400 and generates a repulsive force, causing the sliding button 200 to firmly abut against the other end face of the slide groove 120. Similarly, the magnetic detection element detects the change in magnetic flux or magnetic polarity of the fixed magnet 400 and outputs a corresponding signal to indicate the "off" state.

[0094] The magnetic flux or polarity change of the fixed magnet 400 is monitored in real time by a magnetic detection component to ensure accurate determination of the position of the sliding button 200. There is no physical contact between the magnetic detection component and the sliding button 200, reducing wear and tear, minimizing the risk of malfunction, and extending service life.
