[0031] Example 1:
[0032] A rocker switch assembly for a breast pump includes a control circuit board 2 housed within the breast pump housing 1 and a rocker switch 3 connected to the control circuit board. A rocker body 4 is connected to the outside of the rocker switch 3. The side wall of the rocker body 4 has a rocker annular groove 40, and a sealing silicone ring 5 is sealed within the rocker annular groove 40. A decorative cover 6 is provided on the outside of the sealing silicone ring 5. Because the rocker switch 3 and the rocker body 4 cooperate with the control circuit board 2, the rocker switch assembly of this invention is smaller in size, occupies less space in the breast pump, and is easier to assemble into the breast pump, further reducing the size of the breast pump.
[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the decorative cover 6 of this utility model is provided with a connector 61. The connector 61 passes through the sealing silicone ring 5 to fix the rocker body 4, the sealing silicone ring 5 and the decorative cover 6 to the inner wall of the breast pump housing 1. The sealing silicone ring 5 forms a seal between the rocker body and the breast pump housing and between the decorative cover and the breast pump housing. The tight fit of the silicone tension can achieve a good sealing and waterproof effect.
[0034] In some embodiments, the present invention provides a plurality of waterproof annular protrusions 51 on the outer wall of the sealing silicone ring 5. The waterproof annular protrusions 51 fit tightly against the inner side of the decorative cover 6 to prevent water from entering the breast pump from between the sealing silicone ring 5 and the decorative cover 6, thereby achieving a better sealing and waterproof effect. The sealing silicone ring 5 is provided with silicone ring holes 52 for the connector 61 to pass through.
[0035] Furthermore, the present invention provides a silicone ring center hole 53 in the middle of the sealing silicone ring 5, and the hole wall of the silicone ring center hole 53 of the sealing silicone ring 5 is provided with a connecting ring 54 that is inserted into the rocker arm annular groove 40 on the side wall of the rocker arm body 4. The connecting ring 54 and the rocker arm annular groove 40 are matched to form a seal.
[0036] Furthermore, the breast pump housing 1 of this utility model is provided with a hole 7 for installing the rocker arm body 4. The hole 7 is a round hole, and a recess 11 is provided on the outer edge of the hole 7 for mounting the decorative cover 6 and the sealing silicone ring 5. The outer edge of the sealing silicone ring 5 is installed in the recess 11 and is tightly pressed and fixed from the outside by the decorative cover 6. The decorative cover 6 does not protrude from the breast pump housing 1, making the overall appearance of the breast pump housing 1 more aesthetically pleasing.
[0037] Furthermore, this utility model provides a light-blocking structure between the breast pump housing 1 and the control circuit board 2. The light-blocking structure can prevent light leakage and protect privacy.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in the first embodiment of the light-blocking structure, the light-blocking structure includes a light-blocking annular ring 8 extending from the breast pump housing into the breast pump inside the hole 7 of the breast pump housing 1. The breast pump housing and the light-blocking annular ring 8 are an integral structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, the inner side of the connector 61 is fixed to the inner wall of the breast pump housing 1, preferably by heat fusion, which is more effective than screws, clips, etc., and can reduce the number of components and facilitate installation.
[0040] In this embodiment, the inner side of the connector 61 can also be fixed to the control circuit board 2. For example... Figures 6-8 As shown in the second embodiment of the light-blocking structure, the light-blocking structure includes a light-blocking bracket 9 further disposed between the control circuit board 2 and the breast pump housing 1. The light-blocking bracket 9 includes a light-blocking tube 91, and a light-blocking cap 92 is connected to the outside of the light-blocking tube 91. The light-blocking tube 91 and the light-blocking cap 92 are integral structures. The middle of the light-blocking tube and the light-blocking cap is hollowed out to allow the rocker arm body 4 to pass through. The light-blocking cap 92 has a light-blocking cap hole 921 for fixing to the connector 61. The light-blocking bracket 9 is preferably made of opaque material to prevent light transmission.
[0041] In this embodiment, the inner side of the connector 61 can be fixed to the light-blocking bracket 9.
[0042] Furthermore, the present invention may also have a connecting post (not shown in the figure) provided on the inner wall of the breast pump housing 1 on the inner side of the edge of the hole 7, and the control circuit board 2 is fixed to the connecting post.
[0043] Furthermore, the rocker body 4 of this utility model includes a rocker panel 41, a connecting rod 42 connected to the lower part of the rocker panel 41, a connecting part 31 provided for the rocker switch 3, and the lower part of the connecting rod 42 connected to the connecting part 31.
[0044] The connecting part 31 of the rocker switch 3 of this utility model is square, and the connecting rod 42 is provided with a connecting square hole 421. The square connecting part 31 is inserted into the connecting square hole 421.
[0045] Since this utility model uses a rocker switch 3 and a rocker body 4 in conjunction with the control circuit board 2, the rocker switch assembly of this utility model can be made smaller in size, occupying less space in the breast pump, which is beneficial for assembly into the breast pump and further reduces the size of the breast pump.
[0046] This invention features a rocker arm annular groove on the side wall of the rocker arm body. A sealing silicone ring is sealed inside the rocker arm annular groove. A decorative cover is provided on the outside of the sealing silicone ring, and a connector is provided on the inner wall of the decorative cover. The connector passes through the sealing silicone ring to fix the rocker arm body, the sealing silicone ring, and the decorative cover to the breast pump housing. The sealing silicone ring forms a seal between the rocker arm body and the breast pump housing, as well as between the decorative cover and the breast pump housing, achieving a good sealing and waterproof effect.
[0047] This invention features multiple waterproof annular protrusions on the outer wall of the sealing silicone ring, which prevent water from entering the breast pump between the sealing silicone ring and the decorative cover, thus achieving a better sealing and waterproof effect.
[0048] This invention features a light-blocking structure between the breast pump housing and the control circuit board. This structure prevents light leakage and protects privacy.
