Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lighting technology, specifically relating to a switch control component and a flashlight containing the power switch control component. Background Technology
[0002] Flashlights mounted on pistols or firearms are secured to the sights via a rail. For easy operation—switching the flashlight on and off or adjusting its brightness—a switch handle or pressure plate located at the rear of the battery compartment is very popular due to its simple structure, short size, and convenient installation and operation. However, it has a significant drawback: the switch handle is fixed horizontally or vertically with screws, meaning it can only be operated horizontally (left / right) or vertically (back / forward). This fixed direction of operation during use makes it easy to misoperate, especially in emergency or stressful situations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of unstable operation and easy misoperation in existing power switch controls.

The special feature is that a hinge part is provided on the top side of the inner wall of the front end of the first touch handle, which is hinged to the front fixed part on the front side of the first switch, so that the first touch handle touches the first switch under the drive of external force and can swing up and down between the top and bottom of the first switch.
[0005] The inner wall of the first touch handle is provided with a switch touch part protruding toward the first switch. The switch touch part is located on the rear side of the hinge part so that when an external force presses the rear end of the first touch handle toward the first switch, it rotates toward the first switch with the hinge part as the fulcrum to touch the first switch.
[0006] A first reset component is provided between the inner wall of the first touch handle and the rear fixing part on the rear side of the first switch, and the reset component is located on the rear side of the switch touch part to provide the first touch handle with a holding force away from the first switch;
[0007] It also includes a second switch, a second pressure handle, and a second reset assembly, which have the same structure as the first switch, the first pressure handle, and the first reset assembly, and are arranged symmetrically.
[0008] Furthermore, the hinge portion includes a vertical portion extending downward along the top of the first or second touch handle and an inclined portion extending downward and outward from the lower end of the vertical portion.

[0010] A hinge slot is provided on the front fixing part for the hinge part to be inserted. A first screw hole and a second screw hole are respectively provided on the inner and outer walls of the hinge slot. The first screw hole, the second screw hole and the channel are located on the same inclined line. A screw passes through the first screw hole channel and the second screw hole from the inside of the hinge slot outwards and is threaded to the first screw hole and the second screw hole.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first reset assembly and the second reset assembly consist of a spring limiting hole, a helical reset spring, and a spring mounting countersunk hole on the rear fixing part, all located inside the first and second pressure handles; the helical reset spring is fitted between the spring limiting hole and the spring mounting countersunk hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the switch contact portion has a contact surface parallel to the end face of the first switch.
[0013] A flashlight containing a switch control component includes a main body and a battery compartment disposed at the rear end of the main body, wherein the switch control component is integrally formed at the rear end of the battery compartment.
[0014] Furthermore, the first switch and the second switch are respectively disposed on opposite inclined surfaces at the rear end of the battery compartment;
[0015] The front fixing part and the rear fixing part are located on the front and rear sides of the inclined surface on the same side, respectively.
[0016] Furthermore, both the first and second touch handles have an arc-shaped surface with an anti-slip pattern on the outer wall of their rear touch parts to facilitate downward pressure from all directions.
[0017] Furthermore, the curved surface is an elliptical fan shape, and the anti-slip pattern on it consists of multiple anti-slip ribs that extend from top to bottom and backward.
[0018] The advantages of this invention are: it can provide a stable power switch for both positive and biased contact pressure, ensuring the reliability of power control and the convenience of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To overcome the problems of unstable operation and susceptibility to misoperation in existing power switch controls, this embodiment provides a... Figure 1 The switch control assembly, which is integrally formed at the rear end of the battery compartment 20 of the flashlight, includes a first switch 1 that is inclined and a first touch handle 2 that is disposed outside the first switch 1. A hinge part 3 is provided on the top side of the inner wall of the front end of the first touch handle 2, which is hinged to the front fixing part 4 on the front side of the first switch 1, so that the first touch handle 2 touches the first switch 1 under the drive of external force and can swing up and down between the top and bottom of the first switch 1.
[0032] The inner wall of the first pressure handle 2 is provided with a switch pressure part 5 protruding towards the first switch 1. This switch pressure part 5 is located behind the hinge part 3, so that when an external force presses the rear end of the first pressure handle 2 towards the first switch 1, it rotates towards the first switch 1 using the hinge part 3 as a fulcrum to press the first switch 1. A first reset component is provided between the inner wall of the first pressure handle 2 and the rear fixing part 6 on the rear side of the first switch 1, and this reset component is located behind the switch pressure part 5 to provide a holding force away from the first switch 1 for the first pressure handle 2. The system also includes a second switch 7, a second pressure handle 8, and a second reset component, all with the same structure as the first switch 1, the first pressure handle 2, and the first reset component, and are symmetrically arranged, thus forming the function of simultaneously touching two switches on both sides. Furthermore, the rear pressure parts of both the first pressure handle 2 and the second pressure handle 8 are... Figure 1 or Figure 3 The outer wall shown is provided with an arc-shaped surface with anti-slip pattern to facilitate the contact pressure from all directions, especially to accommodate the contact pressure applied from the rear of the firearm to the first contact handle 2 and the second contact handle 8. Therefore, the contact parts of the first contact handle 2 and the second contact handle 8 provided in this embodiment are arc-shaped, or more precisely, elliptical fan-shaped, and the anti-slip pattern on them is a series of inclined anti-slip ribs 21 extending from top to bottom and backward.
[0033] The hinge part 3 includes Figure 2 The vertical portion 9 extending downward along the top of the first pressure handle 2 or the second pressure handle 8, and the inclined portion 10 extending downward and outward from the lower end of the vertical portion 9; Figure 2The channel 11, extending downwards and outwards at an angle, penetrates the vertical portion 9 and the inclined portion 10, and extends to the outer wall of the first pressing handle 2 or the second pressing handle 8, preparing for the installation of the hinge shaft. Figure 1 The front fixing part 4 shown has a hinge slot 22 for the hinge part 3 to be inserted. A first screw hole 12 and a second screw hole 13 are respectively formed on the inner and outer walls of the hinge slot 22. The first screw hole 12, the second screw hole 13, and the channel 11 are located on the same inclined line. A screw 14 passes sequentially from the inside of the hinge slot 22 outwards through the first screw hole 12, the channel 11, and the second screw hole 13, and is threaded into the first screw hole 12 and the second screw hole 13. This completes the hinge connection with the hinge part 3, thus enabling the first pressing handle 2 or the second pressing handle 8 to connect with the front fixing part 4. Figure 3 The part of the bottom surface of the battery compartment 20 shown is located in front of the first switch or the second switch.
[0034] The first reset component and the second reset component involved are both made by Figure 4 , Figure 5 The spring limiting hole 15 shown is located inside the first pressure handle 2 and the second pressure handle 8 (see...) Figure 4 ), a helical return spring 16 and a spring mounting countersunk hole 17 opened on the rear fixing part 6; the helical return spring 16 is fitted between the spring limiting hole 15 and the spring mounting countersunk hole 17.
[0035] Depend on Figure 4 As can be seen, the switch contact part 5 has a contact surface 18 parallel to the end face of the first switch 1, which can achieve a larger contact area, thereby ensuring that during operation, whether the first contact handle 2 or the second contact handle 8 swings left and right or up and down with the screw as the hinge axis, the first switch 1 or the second switch 7 can be pressed.
[0036] Since the first touch handle 2 and the second touch handle 8 provided in the above embodiments are both hinged with screws, they are hinged to the front fixed part, enabling left-right or up-down swinging operations. This greatly increases the contact range between the first touch handle 2 and the second touch handle 8 and the first switch 1 or the second switch 7. That is, whether the pressure is offset upwards or downwards, as long as the first touch handle 2 and the second touch handle 8 are pressed, the first touch handle 2 and the second touch handle 8 can achieve normal contact with the first switch 1 and the second switch 7, ensuring not only the stability of operation but also improving the convenience of operation. Based on this, this embodiment provides a Figure 6 The flashlight with the switch control assembly shown above includes a main body 19 and a battery compartment 20 disposed at the rear end of the main body 19. The switch control assembly is integrally formed at the rear end of the battery compartment 20. Thus, the first switch 1 and the second switch 7 are respectively disposed on opposite inclined surfaces at the rear end of the battery compartment 20. Figure 1The rear fixing part 6 is located on the inclined surface shown; while the front fixing part 4 and the rear fixing part 6 are located on the front and rear sides of the inclined surface on the same side, that is, on the bottom surface of the battery compartment 20, which is located in front of the first switch 1 and the second switch 7 and adjacent to the first switch 1 and the second switch 7.
