Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a switch assembly and a side stand switch. Background Technology

[0002] A kickstand is a support structure used on motorcycles or electric vehicles. It is equipped with a side kickstand switch to control the on / off of the circuit. This ensures that the vehicle cannot move even if it is powered on when the kickstand is down, and can only move when the kickstand is retracted, thereby improving the safety of vehicle use.

[0003] Common side stand switches employ magnetic attraction, which mainly consists of a magnet, conductive contacts, and a magnetically sensitive element (such as a Hall effect sensor or reed switch). When the magnet approaches, the magnetic field it generates acts on the magnetically sensitive element. This magnetic field alters the conductive contacts, triggering the switch to close or open. However, magnetic switches are sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Strong electromagnetic interference in the vehicle's operating environment may affect the use of the side stand switch, resulting in lower precision in its control of circuit continuity. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue of electromagnetic interference affecting the accuracy of magnetic side-support switches, this application provides a switch assembly and a side-support switch.

[0005] The switching assembly provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A switching assembly, comprising:

[0007] shell;

[0008] An actuating spring, which is movably connected within the housing;

[0009] The pin has at least two pins, each pin including an integrally formed plug and a stop portion. The plug is inserted into the housing and extends out of the housing. The plug is used to connect to an external circuit, and the stop portion is used to connect to the actuating spring.

[0010] A linkage rod extends to the outside of the housing and is movably connected to the housing. Under the action of an external driving force, the linkage rod drives the action spring to move, so that the action spring abuts or disengages from the contact portion of each pin to realize the connection or disconnection between the pins.

[0011] A reset member, located within the housing, forces the actuating spring to slide in one direction, so that the actuating spring always tends to move toward or away from the abutment.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the actuating spring is movably connected to the housing, allowing the actuating spring to move relative to the housing. A connecting rod drives the movement of the actuating spring, and two pins are inserted into the housing via connectors and fixed relative to it. When an external force drives the connecting rod, the actuating spring contacts the connectors of the two pins, connecting them; when the connecting rod disengages the actuating spring from the connectors, the two pins are disconnected. As the connecting rod moves the actuating spring, the reset element undergoes elastic deformation. When the external force disappears, the restoring force of the reset element forces the actuating spring and connecting rod back to their original positions. Therefore, by applying mechanical force to make the actuating spring contact or disengage from the connectors, the circuit is switched on or off. The circuit switching is only affected by mechanical force, minimizing external interference and resulting in higher control precision of the switching assembly.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes a drive block located inside the housing, the actuating spring being fixed to the side of the drive block facing the abutment portion, and the linkage driving the drive block to cause the actuating spring to abut or disengage from the abutment portion.

[0014] Preferably, the driving block includes a fixed block and a limiting block fixedly connected together. The limiting block is located on the side of the fixed block near the abutting part. The actuating spring is fixed between the fixed block and the limiting block. The limiting block is provided with a clearance groove that passes through one side of the limiting block. The actuating spring is located on the side of the clearance groove facing the fixed block. The abutting part is located in the clearance groove and abuts against or disengages from the actuating spring.

[0015] Preferably, the actuating spring includes an integrally formed connecting part and an abutting strip. A fastener is connected to the connecting part, and the connecting part is fixed between the fixing block and the limiting block by the fastener. At least one of the abutting strips is connected to the abutting part of each of the pins in a one-to-one correspondence. The limiting block is provided with a limiting groove for accommodating the abutting strip. The limiting groove is connected to the clearance groove, and the abutting strip abuts or disengages from the abutting part in the limiting groove.

[0016] Preferably, two fixing plates are fixed inside the housing, and a receiving groove is formed between the two fixing plates for the drive block to be installed and slidably moved. One of the fixing plates is provided with a mounting seat on the side opposite to the receiving groove. The mounting seat is provided with a plug groove for the plug part to pass through. The fixing plate is provided with a locking groove for the abutment part to be engaged. The housing is also provided with a fixing seat, which is fixed on the mounting seat. The fixing seat abuts against the side of the abutment part opposite to the actuating spring to prevent the abutment part from dislodging from the locking groove.

[0017] Preferably, the outer casing includes a sealing cover and a housing. The sealing cover includes an integrally formed top cover and a side cover. The top cover has a plurality of inner sealing lips integrally formed on the side facing the fixing seat and the inner circumferential side of the side cover. The end of the housing near the fixing seat is constructed as a boss. The side cover is tightly clamped to the outer circumferential surface of the boss. The top cover presses against the end face of the boss, so that the inner sealing lips seal the contact point between the sealing cover and the boss.

[0018] Preferably, the fixing seat has an abutting protrusion on the side facing the abutting part, and the abutting protrusion extends into the inserting groove through the relief groove to abut the side of the abutting part away from the actuating spring.

[0019] Preferably, a guide post is fixed inside the housing, the guide post is located on the groove walls on both sides of the receiving groove, and the guide post is used to guide the sliding of the drive block.

[0020] A side-support switch includes a base and a cover, the cover being fitted onto the base, the base having a switch assembly as described above mounted thereon, a retaining block being fixed to one side of the cover facing inwards from the base, the cover rotating relative to the base, and the retaining block rotating to retain or disengage from the switch assembly, so that the switch assembly controls the opening and closing of a vehicle.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the base rotates, causing the cover to rotate relative to the base. The abutment block rotates to abut the switch assembly, causing the linkage rod to drive the actuating spring to contact or disengage from the contact part to switch the circuit state. After the abutment block rotates to disengage from the switch assembly, the actuating spring and linkage rod return to their original positions under the action of the reset component, allowing the circuit to return to its initial state. The action of the abutment block in contacting or disengaging from the switch assembly is less affected by the surrounding environment, resulting in high precision in the side-support switch's control of circuit on / off states.

[0022] Preferably, the outer periphery of the side cover and the side of the top cover opposite to the housing are integrally provided with a plurality of outer sealing lips, the outer sealing lips are tightly fitted with the base, and the fixing seat has an abutting protrusion ring protruding from the side facing the sealing cover, the abutting protrusion ring abutting against the top cover so that the outer sealing lips on the top cover press against the base.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] With high precision and good contact stability, the actuating spring is fixed between the fixed block and the limiting block, making it difficult to wobble. The driving block, guided by the guide post within the receiving groove, can only move in one direction. The pin's insertion part is fixed to the mounting base, and the pin's abutment part is engaged in the recessed groove and held in place by the fixed base, thus firmly fixing the pin. Therefore, the actuating spring and the pin can maintain stable contact with high precision.

[0025] Safe and reliable with strong anti-interference capabilities, the circuit is switched on or off by mechanically driving the spring to contact or disengage from the pin. It is less affected by the external environment and, compared to magnetic switches, is not subject to electromagnetic interference.

[0026] The switch assembly and the side support switch have good sealing effect and excellent waterproof and dustproof performance. The inner sealing lip inside the sealing cover can seal the connection between the sealing cover and the housing, and the outer sealing lip outside the sealing cover can seal the connection between the base and the sealing cover. Furthermore, at the opening where the switch assembly passes through the base, an abutting protrusion ring is set on the fixed seat to make the sealing cover press against the base, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0039] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 This application will be described in further detail.

[0040] This application discloses a switching assembly. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The switch assembly includes a housing 1, an actuating spring 2, pins 3, a connecting rod 4, and a reset member 5. At least two pins 3 are provided, fixed to the housing 1, extending from inside the housing 1 to the outside for communication with an external circuit. The actuating spring 2 is located inside the housing 1 and movably connected to it, contacting each pin 3 to establish communication between them, thus connecting the circuit. The connecting rod 4 is movably connected to the housing 1, driving the actuating spring 2 to contact or disengage from the pin 3. The connecting rod 4 extends outside the housing 1 for external actuation. The reset member 5 is installed inside the housing 1, forcing the actuating spring 2 and the connecting rod 4 back to their original positions after the external force is removed. An external driving force drives the connecting rod 4, which in turn moves the actuating spring 2 to contact or disengage from the pin 3, controlling the circuit's on / off state.

[0041] Pin 3 includes an integrally formed insertion portion 31 and abutment portion 32. The insertion portion 31 is inserted and fixed to the housing 1, with one end of the insertion portion 31 extending out of the housing 1 to communicate with an external circuit. The abutment portion 32 is fixed inside the housing 1. An actuating spring 2 abuts against or disengages from the abutment portion 32 to connect or disconnect the pin 3. Multiple pins 3 can be provided. The actuating spring 2 abuts against or disengages from the abutment portions 32 of multiple pins 3 to connect or disconnect each pin 3. In this embodiment, two pins 3 are provided.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The switch assembly also includes a drive block 6, which is located inside the housing 1. An actuating spring 2 is fixed to the side of the drive block 6 facing the contact portion 32. Movement of the linkage rod 4 causes the drive block 6 to drive the actuating spring 2 to contact or disengage from the contact portion 32. The actuating spring 2 can be fixed to the drive block 6 by insertion or fasteners, ensuring stable contact when the actuating spring 2 contacts the contact portion 32. As a preferred embodiment, the drive block 6 includes a fixing block 61 and a limiting block 62, which are fixedly connected. Specifically, the fixing block 61 and the limiting block 62 can be fixed by bolts or snap-fits. In this embodiment, the limiting block 62 is provided with a first buckle 621, and the fixing block 61 is provided with a first slot 611. The limiting block 62 and the fixing block 61 are fixed by the first buckle 621 engaging with the first slot 611. The limiting block 62 is located on the side of the fixing block 61 near the abutment portion 32, and the actuating spring 2 is fixed between the fixing block 61 and the limiting block 62. The limiting block 62 has a relief groove 622 for the abutment portion 32 to pass through, and the actuating spring 2 is located on the side of the relief groove 622 near the fixing block 61, so that the abutment portion 32 can abut against the actuating spring 2 when it is located in the relief groove 622.

[0043] In another embodiment, the drive block 6 may only include the fixed block 61, and the actuating spring 2 is directly fixed to the side of the fixed block 61 facing the abutment 32. The actuating spring 2 and the fixed block 61 may be fixed by plugging or bolting. The movement of the fixed block 61 causes the actuating spring 2 to abut or disengage from the abutment 32.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The actuating spring 2 includes an integrally formed connecting part 21 and an abutment strip 22. A fastener 211 is connected to the connecting part 21, and the connecting part 21 is fixed between the limiting block 62 and the fixing block 61 by the fastener 211. In one embodiment, the fastener 211 is in the form of a fastening screw, which is fixed to the side of the fixing block 61 facing the limiting block 62, with the screw shaft facing the limiting block 62. The connecting part 21 and the limiting block 62 are provided with mounting holes 212 for the fastening screw to pass through. The fastening screw passes through the mounting holes 212 on the connecting part 21 and the limiting block 62 in sequence, and the connecting part 21 is clamped between the fixing block 61 and the limiting block 62.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The contact strip 22 is located on the connecting part 21. The contact strip 22 is bent towards the abutting part 32. The limiting block 62 is provided with a limiting groove 623 to accommodate the contact strip 22. The limiting groove 623 is connected to the clearance groove 622. The contact strip 22 abuts or disengages from the abutting part 32 in the limiting groove 623. At least one contact strip 22 is provided. The contact strip 22 abuts against the abutting parts 32 of the two pins 3 respectively, so that the two pins 3 are connected. As a preferred embodiment, two pairs of contact strips 22 are provided to accommodate... Figure 3 Taking the direction as an example, the two pairs of abutment strips 22 are located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting part 21, respectively, and the two pairs of abutment strips 22 abut against the abutment parts 32 of the two pins 3. Setting two pairs of abutment strips 22 makes the connection between the actuating spring 2 and the pin 3 more stable.

[0046] With two pins 3 and two pairs of contact strips 22, correspondingly, two clearance grooves 622 and two limiting grooves 623 are provided. The contact strips 22 located on the same side of the connecting part 21 are located in the same limiting groove 623. The clearance groove 622 is formed on the groove wall of the limiting groove 623 facing the contact part 32. The clearance groove 622 passes through the limiting block 62 on the side facing the contact part 32 and is connected to the limiting groove 623. The two sides of each contact strip 22 abut against the groove wall of the limiting groove 623, and the middle part of the contact strip 22 abuts against or disengages from the contact part 32.

[0047] Furthermore, the abutment strip 22 curves upwards towards the abutment portion 32, and one of the curved ends of the abutment strip 22 bends away from the abutment portion 32 to form a protrusion, which is a contact point for contacting the abutment portion 32. By abutting the abutment portion 32 through the protruding contact point, the force can be concentrated, further improving the sensitivity and stability of the contact between the abutment strip 22 and the abutment portion 32.

[0048] When the abutting strip 22 comes into contact with the abutting part 32, the abutting strip 22 deforms to a certain extent to ensure good contact between the abutting strip 22 and the abutting part 32. The connecting part 21 is clamped between the fixing block 61 and the limiting block 62, and the abutting strip 22 is located in the limiting groove 623 to limit the deformation of the abutting strip 22 when it comes into contact with the abutting part 32, and to prevent the actuating spring 2 from deforming after repeated use and reducing the contact accuracy between the abutting strip 22 and the abutting part 32.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5Two fixing plates 11 are fixed inside the outer casing 1, and a receiving groove 111 is formed between the two fixing plates 11 for mounting and sliding the drive block 6. A mounting base 12 is provided on the side of one fixing plate 11 opposite to the receiving groove 111. The mounting base 12 has a plug groove 121 for the plug part 31 to pass through, and the two fixing plates 11 have a locking groove 112 for the abutment part 32 to be engaged. In one embodiment, the fixing plate 11 can be divided into two mounting plates, each mounting plate having a locking groove 112. When installing the pin 3, the plug part 31 is inserted into the plug groove 121. After the plug part 31 is gradually inserted into the plug groove 121, the abutment part 32 is gradually embedded into the locking groove 112. When the abutment part 32 is fully embedded into the locking groove 112, the plug part 31 is inserted into the position and passes through the outer casing 1.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 The insertion slot 121 narrows along the insertion direction of the insertion part 31. Specifically, the insertion opening of the insertion slot 121 is larger than the exit opening of the insertion slot 121. In one embodiment, in the rear section of the insertion slot 121 away from the insertion opening direction, the slot wall of the insertion slot 121 protrudes inward, making the slot opening of the rear section of the insertion slot 121 smaller. After the insertion part 31 is inserted, it is squeezed and locked in the insertion slot 121, restricting the insertion part 31 from exiting the insertion slot 121 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the insertion part 31, thereby making the pin 3 relatively firmly fixed on the mounting base 12.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The insertion direction of the plug-in part 31 is the same as the installation direction of the drive block 6. The locking groove 112 is formed on the edge of the fixing plate 11. The locking groove 112 has an opening, and each fixing plate 11 has two locking grooves 112. Each pin 3 is respectively inserted into two locking grooves 112, and the two locking grooves 112 into which each pin 3 is inserted are located on two fixing plates 11. In addition, the fixing plate 11 also has a first guide surface 113, which is located on the groove wall of the locking groove 112. The first guide surface 113 guides the abutment part 32 to be inserted into the locking groove 112. The drive block 6 also has guide posts 13 on both sides. The guide posts 13 are fixed to the outer shell 1 and are located on the groove walls on both sides of the receiving groove 111. The guide posts 13 guide and limit the sliding of the drive block 6, ensuring that the drive block 6 can only move back and forth along the length of the guide post 13. Figure 6Taking the direction as an example, the guide post 13 can be located on the left and right sides of the drive block 6. Obviously, the guide post 13 can also be located on the upper and lower sides of the drive block 6, with at least one guide post 13 on each side. When the guide post 13 is located on the upper and lower sides of the drive block 6, the guide post 13 can be set on the side of the two fixing plates 11 facing the receiving groove 111. However, when the guide post 13 is located on the fixing plate 11, it is necessary to consider avoiding the pin 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, the guide post 13 is set on the left and right sides of the drive block 6, and there are two on each side. In addition to guiding and limiting, the guide post 13 also makes the drive block 6 relatively fixed on the outer shell 1. The guide post 13 avoids the drive block 6 from directly contacting the two fixing plates 11, reduces the friction when the drive block 6 slides, and also prevents the vibration caused by the drive block 6 sliding against the fixing plate 11 from affecting the stability of the connection between the contact strip 22 and the contact part 32.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The outer casing 1 also includes a fixing seat 14, which is fixed to the mounting seat 12. Specifically, the mounting seat 12 has screw holes, and bolts pass through the fixing seat 14, thus securing the fixing seat 14 and the mounting seat 12 together. The fixing seat 14 abuts against the side of the abutment portion 32 opposite to the actuating spring 2, supporting and limiting the abutment portion 32, preventing the pressure exerted by the actuating spring 2 on the abutment portion 32 when it abuts against it, thus preventing the abutment portion 32 from disengaging from the locking groove 112.

[0053] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixing seat 14 has an abutting protrusion 141 protruding from the side facing the abutting part 32. The abutting protrusion 141 extends into the fitting groove 112 and abuts against the side of the abutting part 32 away from the actuating spring 2. The abutting protrusion 141 can concentrate the force and enhance the supporting effect of the fixing seat 14 on the abutting part 32. The abutting protrusion 141 is provided with a second guide surface 142 that cooperates with the fitting groove 112. When the abutting protrusion 141 abuts against the abutting part 32, the first guide surface 113 and the second guide surface 142 abut against each other.

[0054] The fixed base 14 is also provided with a through hole 143 for the connecting rod 4 to pass through. The connecting rod 4 extends out of the outer shell 1 through the through hole 143, and the through hole 143 can guide the axial movement of the connecting rod 4. The through hole 143 should be aligned between the two pins 3 so that the connecting rod 4 passes through the pins 3 and abuts against the limiting block 62.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6The outer casing 1 also has a mounting groove 15 for mounting the reset member 5. The reset member 5 is an elastic element, and in this embodiment, the reset member 5 is preferably a spring. In addition, the outer casing 1 also has a sleeve 16 for mounting the reset member 5. The sleeve 16 is located in the center of the mounting groove 15. The sleeve 16 can guide the extension and retraction of the reset member 5, and also further fix the reset member 5.

[0056] When installing the components of the switch assembly, install them sequentially from inside the housing 1 to outside the housing 1. First, install the reset piece 5, so that one end of the reset piece 5 is embedded in the mounting groove 15 and abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 15, and the other end of the reset piece 5 abuts against the fixing block 61. Then, place the drive block 6 with the actuating spring 2 fixed in it into the receiving groove 111, and then install the pin 3, so that the plug part 31 is inserted into the plug groove 121 and the abutting part 32 is engaged in the locating groove 112. Then, fix the fixing seat 14 on the mounting seat 12, so that the fixing seat 14 abuts against the abutting part 32. Then, install the connecting rod 4, so that the connecting rod 4 passes through the through hole 143.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer casing 1 includes a sealing cover 17 and a housing 18. A reset member 5, an actuating spring 2, a drive block 6, a pin 3, and a fixing base 14 are installed inside the housing 18. The sealing cover 17 is used to achieve a sealing effect, so the sealing cover 17 is preferably a rubber part. The sealing cover 17 includes an integrally formed top cover 171 and a side cover 172. The top cover 171 facing the fixing base 14 and the inner circumferential side of the side cover 172 are integrally provided with a plurality of inner sealing lips 173. The end of the housing 18 near the fixing base 14 is constructed as a boss. When the sealing cover 17 is placed on the housing 18, the side cover 172 is tightly clamped to the outer circumferential surface of the boss, and the top cover 171 presses against the end face of the boss. The inner sealing lips 173 are deformed by compression, so that the inner side of the sealing cover 17 and the abutment of the boss are tightly fitted to achieve a seal. The top cover 171 protrudes outward from the housing 18 to form an abutment protrusion 174 for accommodating the linkage 4. The abutment protrusion 174 facilitates direct external driving of the linkage 4.

[0058] The implementation principle of a switch assembly according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: a fixed block 61 and a limiting block 62 are fixedly connected, and a connecting part 21 is clamped between the fixed block 61 and the limiting block 62 by a fastener 211 to fix the actuating spring 2 relatively. An abutting strip 22 is located in a limiting groove 623 and abuts against an abutting part 32 located in a relief groove 622. A reset member 5 is installed in a mounting groove 15 and sleeved on a sleeve 16. One end of the reset member 5 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 15, and the other end of the reset member 5 abuts against the fixed block 61. A driving block 6 is installed in a receiving groove 111 and can slide in the receiving groove 111. A guide post 13 makes the driving block 6 relatively fixed on the housing 1 and can only move along the length direction of the guide post 13. A plug-in part 31 is inserted into a plug-in groove 121, and an abutting part 32 is engaged in a fitting groove 112 to fix the pin 3 relatively. An abutting protrusion 141 abuts against the abutting part 32 to further fix the pin 3. The linkage 4 passes through the through hole 143 and abuts against the drive block 6 between the two pins 3. An external force actuates the abutment protrusion 174, causing the linkage 4 to move against the limiting block 62, resulting in the drive block 6 sliding. The reset piece 5 is compressed, and the drive block 6 causes the actuating spring 2 to slide, disengaging the contact strip 22 from the abutment part 32. When the external force disappears, the restoring force of the reset piece 5 abuts against the fixing block 61, causing the drive block 6, along with the actuating spring 2 and the linkage 4, to return to their original positions.

[0059] This application also discloses a side-support switch, as shown in the embodiments. Figure 9 The side-support switch includes a base 7 and a cover 8. The base 7 is equipped with a switch assembly as described above. The cover 8 is fitted onto the base 7 and is rotatable relative to the base 7. A foot support is mounted on the base 7. A retaining block 81 is fixed to the side of the cover 8 facing inwards from the base 7. When the foot support is lowered or retracted, the base 7 is rotated, causing the cover 8 to rotate relative to the base 7. The retaining block 81 rotates to retain or disengage from the switch assembly, allowing the switch assembly to control the opening and closing of the vehicle. In the initial state, the retaining block 81 can rotate to a position where it is always in contact with the abutment protrusion 174, disengaging the actuating spring 2 from the abutment portion 32. Conversely, in the initial state, the retaining block 81 can also disengage from the abutment protrusion 174, ensuring that the actuating spring 2 remains connected to the abutment portion 32.

[0060] Reference Figure 10 In another embodiment, a spring arm 71 is movably connected within the base 7. The spring arm 71 is located between the abutment block 81 and the abutment protrusion 174. The abutment block 81 abuts against or disengages from the spring arm 71, causing the spring arm 71 to abut against or disengage from the abutment protrusion 174. The arrangement of the spring arm 71 can prevent the abutment block from directly contacting the abutment protrusion 174, thereby reducing wear on the abutment protrusion 174.

[0061] Reference Figure 11The switch assembly is provided with a second latch 181, and the base 7 is provided with a second slot 72 for the second latch 181 to be engaged. The second latch 181 is engaged with the second slot 72 to fix the switch assembly on the base 7. At the same time, one end of the linkage rod 4, together with the abutment protrusion 174, extends from the outside of the base 7 to the inside of the base 7, so that the abutment block 81 can control the on / off of the circuit by abutting or disengaging from the abutment protrusion 174.

[0062] An outer sealing lip 175 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the side cover 172 and the side of the top cover 171 facing away from the housing 18. The switch assembly is fastened to the base 7 so that the outer sealing lip 175 fits tightly with the base 7, achieving a seal at the connection between the sealing cover 17 and the base 7. Furthermore, the fixing seat 14 has an abutting ring 144 protruding from the side facing the sealing cover 17. The abutting ring 144 abuts against the top cover 171, so that the outer sealing lip 175 on the top cover 171 presses against the base 7, enhancing the sealing effect at the contact point between the top cover 171 and the base 7. Therefore, a seal is achieved between the inner side of the sealing cover 17 and the housing 18, and a seal is achieved between the outer side of the sealing cover 17 and the base 7. Furthermore, the sealing effect is further enhanced by the abutting ring 144 at the opening of the base 7 where water and dust can easily enter, thereby enabling the side support switch to achieve an IP68 waterproof rating.

[0063] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
