Detailed Implementation

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-7 As shown, a wall switch includes a housing 1 and a panel 2, and further includes:

[0031] Conductive sheet 3 is disposed inside housing 1;

[0032] The movable contact 4 is used in conjunction with the conductive piece 3 to control the circuit to be turned on or off;

[0033] The swing arm 5 is located inside the housing 1, and the panel 2 is driven by the swing arm 5 to swing the movable contact piece 4.

[0034] Indicator 6 is used to indicate position; the panel 2 is provided with a through hole 21 and a groove 22, the groove 22 being located on the lower surface of the panel 2 (see attached diagram). Figure 3 (The same applies below). The indicator 6 is located in the groove 22 and below the through hole 21 for indication. The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the indicator can indicate the switch position, making it convenient for users to operate quickly in the dark, and the groove facilitates the installation of the indicator. The structure is simple, and the through hole improves the indication effect and prevents the indicator from being blocked.

[0035] The through holes 21 are elongated, and different through holes 21 are arranged in parallel. Of course, in actual production, the through holes can be arranged in a pattern of two long and one short, with the shorter through hole reserving space for mounting posts, making better use of the space on the lower surface of the panel. Of course, in practice, the through holes can also adopt other shapes.

[0036] The indicator 6 is equipped with a locking block 61, which is inserted into the through hole 21, and the upper surface of the locking block 61 is not higher than the upper surface of the panel 2. This allows the locking block of the indicator to be inserted into the through hole, facilitating the indicator's indication of the switch position. Specifically, the indicator 6 is integrally molded from fluorescent material. This invention uses fluorescent material to integrally mold the entire indicator, which facilitates its processing and installation. Alternatively, only the locking block portion could be made of fluorescent material to reduce costs. This allows the indicator to emit a faint light at night or in the dark, making it easier for users to operate the switch in the dark.

[0037] The indicator 6 is interference-fitted with the panel 2, and the inner wall of the groove 22 is provided with a protruding rib 23 that abuts against the indicator 6. Specifically, the panel 2 is provided with a mounting post 24, the mounting post 24 is provided with a supporting rib 25, and the indicator 6 is provided with a mounting hole 62. The mounting post 24 is inserted into the mounting hole 62 and is fitted against the inner wall of the mounting hole 62 through the supporting rib 25. This structure facilitates the installation of the indicator, is simple in structure, and is convenient and reliable to install. The interference fit makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the indicator. The supporting rib and the protruding rib increase the friction, making the indicator more reliably fixed.

[0038] The groove 22 is located at one corner of the panel 2, and the housing 1 has a notch 11 at the corresponding position of the groove 22 on the panel 2. This requires minimal modification to the product, allows for compatibility with different switches, and makes the product widely adaptable.

[0039] This utility model also includes:

[0040] Pressure plate 7 is provided on housing 1;

[0041] A drive plate 8 is linked to the panel 2 and is hinged to the pressure plate 7. A drive block 81 is provided on the drive plate 8, which passes through the pressure plate 7 and connects to the swing rod 5 to drive the swing rod 5 to swing. This structure facilitates the installation of the drive block, and the linkage between the drive block and the panel facilitates reliable transmission. The structure is simple, and the transmission is convenient and reliable.

[0042] The panel 2 and the drive plate 8 are connected by hooks 26 and slots 82. A baffle 27 is provided on the lower surface of the panel 2, and the baffle 27 is annularly arranged and covers the outside of the drive plate 8. This structure facilitates the connection between the panel and the drive plate and ensures reliable transmission. The baffle covering the drive plate allows the panel and drive plate to form an integrated structure, facilitating linkage between them.

[0043] The panel 2 is provided with a positioning plate 28, and the drive plate 8 is provided with a positioning groove 83 for the positioning plate 28 to be inserted. The positioning groove 83 is provided with a guide rib 84, and the upper surface of the drive plate 8 is provided with a support block 85. This structure facilitates the installation and positioning of the panel, is simple in structure, and the guide ribs facilitate the installation and limiting of the positioning plate, preventing displacement.
