[0027] After the device is assembled, in the default state, the spring 11 elastically supports the guide rod 7 because the moving column 10 and the supporting seat 6 are elastically connected through the spring 11, and at this time the height of the rectangular block 8 is higher than that of the connecting block 18, further, the broken spring piece 22 is in an inclined state because the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18 are elastically connected through the broken spring piece 22, and the broken spring piece 22 always gives the connecting block 18 a downward force, at this time the moving contact 19 at the bottom of the connecting block 18 and the static contact 3 abut each other, the limiting plate 23 and the boss 5 are separated, the switch is in a conducting state, and the force applied to the connecting block 18 by the broken spring piece 22 makes the moving contact 19 in a stable state, ensuring the stability of the switch, when it is necessary to close the switch, the worker presses the guide rod 7 downward, further the guide rod 7 drives the rectangular block 8, the transmission block 9 and the moving column 10 to displace downward, so that the spring 11 is compressed, as the rectangular block 8 continues to displace downward, the broken spring piece 22 gradually recovers from the inclined state to the horizontal state, and because the linear distance between the connecting block 18 and the rectangular block 8 becomes shorter, the left and right ends of the broken spring piece 22 are further compressed by the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18 to accumulate energy, when the height of the rectangular block 8 is lower than that of the connecting block 18, the connecting block 18 quickly displaces upward through the elastic potential energy of the broken spring piece 22, further the connecting block 18 drives the fixed frame 17 to move upward along the limiting groove 16, and the moving contact 19 and the static contact 3 are separated from each other, so that the switch is turned off, completing the switching process from conduction to turn-off, after the worker releases the guide rod 7, the moving column 10 is reset upward along the guide groove 13 through the elastic potential energy of the spring 11, further the rectangular block 8 is reset to a position higher than the connecting block 18, further based on the above principle, the connecting block 18 is reset downward, so that the limiting plate 23 and the boss 5 are separated from each other, and the static contact 3 and the moving contact 19 are in contact, realizing the whole process of the switch.
[0028] By the setting of the breaking spring 22 and the gap of the position of the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18, the moving contact 19 and the stationary contact 3 are in abutment with each other in the default state, the switch is connected, and by pressing the guide rod 7 downward, the position of the rectangular block 8 is changed, the moving contact 19 is further quickly popped up, and is separated from the stationary contact 3, compared with the traditional device, the device is always in the connected state in the free state, and the closing and opening functions of the switch can be realized by only one set of stationary contact 3 and moving contact 19, the material is effectively saved, and the cost is reduced.

[0030] When the guide rod 7 is pressed downward, the transmission block 9 will be displaced downward synchronously, and the left and right ends of the transmission block 9 will extrude the one end of the two groups of breaking blocks 15 facing the inside during the movement, further making the breaking blocks 15 rotate, at this time, the one end of the breaking blocks 15 facing the outside is raised, and the fixed frame 17 at the bottom is lifted upward, this step is to forcibly lift the fixed frame 17, avoiding the adhesion between the limiting plates 23 on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 17 and the boss 5 caused by the long-time abutment between them, avoiding the jamming of the guide rod 7.
[0031] Wherein, the left and right ends of the transmission block 9 are provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are located above the left and right groups of breaking blocks 15.
[0032] Wherein, the thickness of the breaking spring 22 is 0.12mm, and the left and right ends of the breaking spring 22 are stressed after assembly, and the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18 compress the breaking spring 22.
[0033] The force applied to the connecting block 18 by the breaking spring 22 makes the moving contact 19 in a stable state, ensuring the stability of the switch.
[0034] Wherein, the two groups of moving contacts 19 and the two groups of stationary contacts 3 are in abutment with each other, and the two groups of limiting plates 23 are located below the boss 5.
[0035] Wherein, the inside of the support base 6 is provided with a guide groove 13, and the outer wall of the moving column 10 is provided with a guide block 12, the guide block 12 is movably installed in the inside of the guide groove 13, and the moving column 10 and the support base 6 are elastically connected through the spring 11.

[0039] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows:
[0040] After the device is assembled, in the default state, the spring 11 is elastically supported for the guide rod 7 due to the elastic connection between the moving column 10 and the support base 6, and at this time, the height of the rectangular block 8 is higher than that of the connecting block 18; further, the connecting block 18 is in an inclined state due to the elastic connection between the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18 through the disconnecting spring piece 22, and the disconnecting spring piece 22 always gives the connecting block 18 a downward force; at this time, the moving contact 19 at the bottom of the connecting block 18 and the stationary contact 3 abut against each other, the limiting plate 23 is separated from the boss 5, the switch is in a conduction state, and the moving contact 19 is in a stable state due to the force applied to the connecting block 18 by the disconnecting spring piece 22, ensuring the stability of the switch; when it is necessary to close the switch, the worker presses downward the guide rod 7, and further, the guide rod 7 drives the rectangular block 8, the transmission block 9 and the moving column 10 to downwardly displace, so that the spring 11 is compressed; along with the downward displacement of the rectangular block 8, the disconnecting spring piece 22 gradually recovers from the inclined state to the horizontal state, and further, the left and right ends of the disconnecting spring piece 22 are further compressed by the rectangular block 8 and the connecting block 18, and energy is accumulated; when the rectangular block 8 continuously downwardly displaces and the height of the rectangular block 8 is lower than that of the connecting block 18, the connecting block 18 quickly upwardly displaces through the elastic potential energy of the disconnecting spring piece 22, further, the connecting block 18 drives the fixed frame 17 to upwardly along the limiting slot 16, and the moving contact 19 separates from the stationary contact 3, so that the switch is turned off, and the switching process from conduction to turn-off is completed; after the worker releases the guide rod 7, the moving column 10 is upwardly reset along the guide slot 13 through the elastic potential energy of the spring 11, further, the rectangular block 8 is reset to a position higher than the connecting block 18, and further, based on the above principle, the connecting block 18 is downwardly reset, so that the limiting plate 23 and the boss 5 are separated from each other, and the stationary contact 3 and the moving contact 19 are in contact, realizing the whole process of the switch.
