Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rocker switch technology, and in particular to a rocker switch that prevents accidental activation. Background Technology

[0002] A rocker switch is an electrical control device primarily used for controlling the on / off state of circuits. It changes the circuit's connection state through user operation (usually pressing or toggling the switch), thereby controlling the start, stop, or other functions of equipment. Rocker switches are widely used in various electronic devices, household appliances, transportation vehicles, and industrial automation systems, and are a common and important electrical component.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent in China with patent publication number CN215834459U, which discloses a rocker switch. The rocker switch includes a housing, a button assembly, and a lower seat assembly. A first partition divides the housing's interior into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The button assembly is located in the upper cavity, and the lower seat assembly is located in the lower cavity. The button assembly includes a button and a button base, with the button or button base rotatably positioned in the upper cavity. The button base has a contact portion. The lower seat assembly includes a lower seat, a support terminal, a stationary terminal, and a connecting bridge. The support terminal and the stationary terminal are inserted into the lower seat. The connecting bridge is swayably mounted on the support terminal and has a moving contact. The stationary terminal has a stationary contact. When the button base rotates, the contact portion of the button base presses against and drives the connecting bridge to sway, causing the moving and stationary contacts to contact or separate. This design effectively isolates electric arc flames, provides a safe user experience, and is simple in structure and easy to install.

[0004] The aforementioned patent addresses the issue of arc flash isolation in rocker switches, enhancing the safety experience when using them. However, the device fails to prevent accidental contact with the rocker switch, meaning users or others may inadvertently touch it, causing the circuit to connect or disconnect unexpectedly. This could lead to serious consequences in certain critical applications (such as medical equipment and industrial production lines). Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rocker switch that prevents accidental activation. This device prevents accidental activation of the rocker switch, thus solving the problem of accidental activation of rocker switches in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rocker switch designed to prevent accidental activation includes a housing with a rocker button at its upper end and multiple sliding grooves arranged in a rectangular array at the upper end of the housing, with sliders slidably connected inside the grooves; a sliding cover located at the upper end of the housing, with the upper ends of two sliders fixedly connected to the lower ends of the cover, and two horizontal plates fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover, the inner walls of the horizontal plates having slots; and a protective cover located at the upper end of the housing, with the upper ends of two other sliders fixedly connected to the lower ends of the protective cover, the side wall of the protective cover having an opening, and a locking block slidably connected inside the opening, the horizontal plates slidably connected to the opening, and the locking blocks slidably connected to the slots.

[0008] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider.

[0009] Preferably, the protective cover has two grooves inside, the locking block is slidably connected to the grooves, and a spring is fixedly connected between the side wall of the locking block and the inner wall of the groove.

[0010] Preferably, a rope is fixedly connected to the end of the card block, and the rope is slidably connected to the inside of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cover has a cavity inside, and a winding rod is rotatably connected inside the cavity. The upper end of the winding rod is rotatably connected to the upper end of the protective cover, and the side wall of the winding rod is fixedly connected to the end of the rope.

[0012] Preferably, a circular plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the winding rod, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When the rocker button needs to be used, manually rotate the protrusion to make the circular plate drive the winding rod to rotate. By rotating the winding rod, the rope is wound into the cavity. The rope pulls the locking block, causing the locking block to slide into the groove. At this time, the slider connected to the sliding cover slides in the corresponding groove, causing the sliding cover to move laterally. At the same time, the slider connected to the protective cover also slides in the corresponding groove, causing the protective cover to move laterally. The sliding cover and the protective cover slide relative to each other, exposing the rocker button that is covered and protected, so that the rocker button can be used. Thus, the user can unlock and slide the sliding cover and the protective cover with a simple rotation action, without complicated operation or additional tools, which improves the convenience of using the device.

[0015] 2. When the rocker button is not needed, manually pull the sliding cover and the protective cover to slide relative to each other, so that the horizontal plate on the side wall of the sliding cover slides into the groove on the side wall of the protective cover. During the sliding of the horizontal plate, the inclined wall of the horizontal plate contacts the inclined wall of the locking block, and the locking block automatically slides into the groove. After the horizontal plate has slid completely into the groove, the locking block contacts the locking slot. Through the elasticity of the second spring, the locking block that has slid into the groove is pushed out, and the locking block slides into the locking slot, thereby locking the relative position of the sliding cover and the protective cover, covering and protecting the rocker button, and preventing accidental activation of the rocker button.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-6A rocker switch designed to prevent accidental activation includes a housing 001, a rocker button 101 on the upper end of the housing 001, and multiple sliding grooves 102 arranged in a rectangular array on the upper end of the housing 001, with sliders 104 slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 102; a sliding cover 002, located on the upper end of the housing 001, wherein the upper ends of two sliders 104 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the sliding cover 002, and two horizontal plates 201 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding cover 002, with slots 202 provided on the inner wall of the horizontal plates 201; and a protective cover 003. 03 is located at the upper end of the housing 001. The upper ends of the other two sliders 104 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the protective cover 003. The side wall of the protective cover 003 is set in the slot 301. A locking block 303 is slidably connected inside the slot 301. The horizontal plate 201 is slidably connected to the slot 301, and the locking block 303 is slidably connected to the slot 202. The side walls of the horizontal plate 201 and the side walls of the locking block 303 are both inclined. When the rocker button 101 needs to be used, the locking block 303 slides from inside the slot 202 into the protective cover 003. At this time, it is connected to the sliding cover. The slider 104 connected to 002 slides within the corresponding groove 102, causing the sliding cover 002 to move laterally. Simultaneously, the slider 104 connected to the protective cover 003 also slides within the corresponding groove 102, causing the protective cover 003 to move laterally. The sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003 slide relative to each other, exposing the protected rocker button 101 for use. When the rocker button 101 is not needed, the sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003 can be manually pulled to slide relative to each other, causing the sliding cover 002... The side wall plate 201 slides into the side wall groove 301 of the protective cover 003. During the sliding process, the inclined wall of the plate 201 contacts the inclined wall of the locking block 303. The locking block 303 automatically slides into the protective cover 003. After the plate 201 is completely slid into the groove 301, the locking block 303 contacts the slot 202. The locking block 303 automatically slides into the slot 202, thereby locking the relative position of the sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003, and wrapping and protecting the rocker button 101 to prevent accidental activation of the rocker button 101.

[0025] A spring 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide 102. The end of the spring 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 104. The slider 104 slides by the elastic pull of the spring 103.

[0026] The protective cover 003 has two grooves 302 inside. The locking block 303 is slidably connected to the groove 302. A spring 304 is fixedly connected between the side wall of the locking block 303 and the inner wall of the groove 302. The elasticity of the spring 304 pushes the locking block 303, which has slid into the groove 302, out.

[0027] A rope 305 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking block 303. The rope 305 is slidably connected to the inside of the protective cover 003. The locking block 303 is pulled by the rope 305, so that the locking block 303 slides into the groove 302.

[0028] The protective cover 003 has a cavity 306 inside, and a winding rod 307 is rotatably connected inside the cavity 306. The upper end of the winding rod 307 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the protective cover 003. The side wall of the winding rod 307 is fixedly connected to the end of the rope 305. By rotating the winding rod 307, the rope 305 is wound into the cavity 306.

[0029] A circular plate 308 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the winding rod 307, and a protrusion 309 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the circular plate 308. By manually rotating the protrusion 309, the circular plate 308 drives the winding rod 307 to rotate.

[0030] In this invention, when the rocker button 101 needs to be used, the protrusion 309 is manually rotated, causing the circular plate 308 to drive the winding rod 307 to rotate. By rotating the winding rod 307, the rope 305 is wound into the cavity 306. The rope 305 pulls the locking block 303, causing the locking block 303 to slide into the groove 302. At this time, the slider 104 connected to the sliding cover 002 slides in the corresponding groove 102, causing the sliding cover 002 to move laterally. At the same time, the slider 104 connected to the protective cover 003 also slides in the corresponding groove 102, causing the protective cover 003 to move laterally. The sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003 slide relative to each other, exposing the rocker button 101 that is wrapped and protected, so that the rocker button 101 can be used.

[0031] After manually releasing the protrusion 309, the elasticity of the second spring 304 pushes out the locking block 303 that has slid into the groove 302. At the same time, the locking block 303 pulls the rope 305, causing the winding rod 307 to automatically rotate and reset.

[0032] When the rocker button 101 is not needed, manually pull the sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003 to slide relative to each other, so that the horizontal plate 201 on the side wall of the sliding cover 002 slides into the groove 301 on the side wall of the protective cover 003. During the sliding process, the inclined wall of the horizontal plate 201 contacts the inclined wall of the locking block 303, and the locking block 303 automatically slides into the groove 302. After the horizontal plate 201 is completely slid into the groove 301, the locking block 303 contacts the slot 202. Through the elasticity of the second spring 304, the locking block 303 that has slid into the groove 302 is pushed out, and the locking block 303 slides into the slot 202, thereby locking the relative position of the sliding cover 002 and the protective cover 003, covering and protecting the rocker button 101, and preventing accidental activation of the rocker button 101.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
