[0002] A toggle switch is an electronic component that controls the on / off state of a circuit through mechanical movement. Its core function is to switch the current path on or off by changing the contacts. Traditional toggle switches are generally designed with two positions, meaning that the switch has only two working contacts. These two contacts control the on / off state of the electronic component, that is, to control the on / off state of the device, such as a switch that controls the on / off state of a light. This type of toggle switch is difficult to perform more functions than just controlling the on / off state of the device, which limits the practical application of the switch and causes many inconveniences for users.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides improvements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a multi-position toggle switch, which solves the aforementioned problems existing in the use of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A multi-position toggle switch includes a base shell, the interior of which is provided with multiple external pins. Openings are provided on both sides of the base shell. A cover plate is fastened to the top of the base shell. A contact strip is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the cover plate. The contact strip is inserted into one of the openings. Cards are fixedly connected to both sides of the cover plate. Two cards are respectively fastened to both sides of the base shell. An actuating block located at the bottom of the cover plate is movably installed inside the base shell. One end of the actuating block is movably disposed in one of the openings. Three slots are provided on one side of the actuating block. Two movable internal pins that are adapted to the external pins are engaged at the bottom of the actuating block.

[0006] The present invention provides a multi-position toggle switch as described above, further comprising: a plurality of pin mounting grooves adapted to the movable inner pins on the bottom of the toggle block; and a plurality of snap-fit ​​protrusions adapted to the card fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom shell.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model adopts a multi-working position, that is, a multi-switching contact structure design, which allows the toggle switch to have other control functions on the basis of the original opening and closing function, making the application field of the toggle switch wider, improving the performance of the toggle switch, and providing users with a lot of assistance and convenience in their work.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a pin mounting groove and snap-fit ​​protrusions to snap-fit ​​the movable inner pin, thus positioning the movable inner pin on the actuating block, providing convenience for the user's installation work, and preventing the movable inner pin from moving during operation. The card is integrally formed on the cover plate, and when the cover plate is installed, the card will also snap into the bottom of the corresponding two snap-fit ​​protrusions, thereby firmly fixing the cover plate to the bottom shell and preventing the cover plate from falling off during operation, providing convenience for the user's work.

[0015] 3. The present invention features a bottom shell, which is assembled from a bottom block and an end block.

[0027] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example

[0028] A multi-position toggle switch includes a base shell 1, with multiple external pins 2 inside the base shell 1. Openings 3 are provided on both sides of the base shell 1. A cover plate 8 is fastened to the top of the base shell 1. A contact strip 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the cover plate 8, and the contact strip 4 is inserted into one of the openings 3. Two clips 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cover plate 8, respectively, and are fastened to the sides of the base shell 1. A toggle block 5 is movably installed inside the base shell 1 at the bottom of the cover plate 8. One end of the toggle block 5 is movably disposed within one of the openings 3. Three slots 6 are provided on one side of the toggle block 5. Two movable internal pins 7, which are adapted to the external pins 2, are engaged with the bottom of the toggle block 5.

[0029] The specific usage process is as follows: Before use, assemble the entire toggle switch. During assembly, place 102 on top of the base block 101, then attach the end block 102 to the base block 101. Align the positioning pin 16 with the positioning hole 15 and insert it. This will position the base block 101 and end block 102, improving the accuracy of the toggle switch assembly and providing assistance and convenience for the user. Then, forcefully press the base block 101 and end block 102 together. The latch 13 will slightly deform outward under the pressure of the latch protrusion 12 until the latch protrusion 12 aligns with the opening of the latch 13. Then the latch 13 will return to its original position, and finally the latch protrusion 12 will engage with the latch 13. Thus, the base block 101... The bottom block 101 and end block 102 are then securely assembled together. It should be noted that before fixing the bottom block 101 and end block 102 together, the outer pins 2 should be inserted sequentially onto the bottom block 101 and secured in their corresponding positions. Then, the end block 102 is closed. This completes the installation of the outer pins 2. Under the pressure of the opening 3 inside the end block 102, the outer pins 2 will not move freely, ensuring the secure and stable installation of the outer pins 2 and providing convenience for the user. It should be noted that the heat dissipation hole 17 is located below the outer pins 2. Therefore, the heat generated by the outer pins 2 during power-on operation will be dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 17, thereby achieving heat dissipation, reducing the operating temperature of the toggle switch, and extending its lifespan. To extend the lifespan of the toggle switch, the movable inner pin 7 is then snapped into the pin mounting groove 9 at the bottom of the toggle block 5. The movable inner pin 7 is then placed face down into the bottom shell 1, which consists of the bottom block 101 and the end block 102, with the movable inner pin 7 in contact with the corresponding outer pin 2. This is the switch's initial closed state. Finally, the cover plate 8 is snapped onto the bottom shell 1, with the contact strip 4 inserted into the opening 3. Two clips 10 are respectively snapped into the bottom of the two snap-fit ​​protrusions 11 on both sides. The contact strip 4 is to be snapped into one of the slots 6 on the toggle block 5, as described above. This is the switch's initial closed state. For example, if the protrusion on the contact strip 4 is snapped into the middle slot 6, this is the switch's closed state. In the closed state, when in use, moving the toggle block 5 to the other side causes the protrusions on the contact strip 4 to engage with the slot 6 on that side, which is the low-power operating mode. Moving the toggle block 5 to the opposite side causes the protrusions on the contact strip 4 to engage with the slot 6 on that side, which is the high-power operating mode. Thus, the toggle switch of this technical solution has three operating positions: closed, low-power, and high-power. Compared to traditional toggle switches, this toggle switch has richer functions, a wider range of applications, and higher performance, providing convenience for users. It should be noted that the specific working principle of the toggle switch, as well as the current flow and trajectory, are existing technologies and will not be discussed in detail here.The number of slots 6 that are adapted to the contact strip 4 and are used to enable multi-position operation can be increased according to actual usage requirements, as long as the actual usage needs are met.

[0030] Therefore, the multi-position, multi-switching contact structure design allows the toggle switch to have additional control functions on top of its original on / off function, broadening its application range and improving its performance. This provides users with significant assistance and convenience. The movable inner pin 7 is used to snap onto the toggle block 5, thus positioning it on the toggle block 5, facilitating installation and preventing movement of the inner pin 7 during operation. The card 10 is integrally formed on the cover plate 8. When the cover plate 8 is installed, the card 10 will also snap onto the bottom of the two corresponding snap-fit ​​protrusions 11, firmly fixing the cover plate 8 to the bottom shell 1 and preventing it from falling off during operation, thus providing convenience for users. The bottom shell 1 is assembled from the bottom block 101 and the end block 102, which can be flexibly disassembled, allowing users to quickly install the outer pin. The pin 2 is installed inside the base 1, making it convenient for users to install the outer pin 2. The pressure strip 14 is fixed in the inner cavity of the end block 102 and is pressed against the outer pin 2. This can fix the outer pin 2 in the predetermined installation position, prevent the outer pin 2 from shifting during use, ensure that each output point can respond accurately and in a timely manner, ensure the normal operation of the toggle switch, and provide convenience for users. During installation, the positioning pin 16 will be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 15. Therefore, the cooperation of the positioning hole 15 and the positioning pin 16 can play a positioning role in the assembly of the base block 101 and the end block 102, thereby ensuring that the subsequent engagement of the buckle protrusion 12 and the buckle 13 can be more accurate, providing convenience for users' installation work. The heat dissipation hole 17 is used for heat dissipation and cooling of the toggle switch. The heat generated when the switch is working will be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation hole 17, thereby playing a role in heat dissipation and temperature control, extending the service life of the switch, and providing convenience for users' work.

[0031] Therefore, the structure design with multiple working positions, or multiple switching contacts, allows the toggle switch to have additional control functions on the basis of its original opening and closing functions. This makes the application range of the toggle switch wider, improves the performance of the toggle switch, and provides users with a lot of assistance and convenience in their work.

[0032] The bottom of the actuating block 5 is provided with multiple pin mounting slots 9 that are adapted to the movable inner pins 7, and multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 11 that are adapted to the card 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom shell 1.

[0033] Specifically, the pin mounting groove 9 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 11 are designed to snap-fit ​​the movable inner pin 7, thus positioning the movable inner pin 7 on the actuating block 5, providing convenience for the user's installation work, and also preventing the movable inner pin 7 from moving during operation. The card 10 is integrally formed on the cover plate 8. When the cover plate 8 is installed, the card 10 will also snap into the bottom of the corresponding two snap-fit ​​protrusions 11, thereby firmly fixing the cover plate 8 to the bottom shell 1, preventing the cover plate 8 from falling off during operation, and providing convenience for the user's work.

[0034] The bottom shell 1 is composed of a bottom block 101 and an end block 102 that are joined together, and multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 11 are evenly fixedly connected to both sides of the end block 102.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom shell 1 is assembled from a bottom block 101 and an end block 102. Therefore, the bottom block 101 and the end block 102 can be flexibly disassembled and separated, allowing users to quickly install the external pin 2 into the bottom shell 1, thus providing convenience for users to install the external pin 2.

[0036] Both sides of the bottom block 101 are fixedly connected with snap-fit ​​protrusions 12, and both sides of the end block 102 are fixedly connected with snap-fits 13 that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​protrusions 12.

[0037] Specifically, the latching protrusion 12 and latching 13 are configured such that latching protrusion 12 is fixed on the base block 101, and latching 13 is fixed on the end block 102. In this way, when the base block 101 and the end block 102 are combined, latching protrusion 12 and latching 13 will be firmly engaged together, thereby firmly fixing the base block 101 and the end block 102 together, ensuring the tightness and sturdiness of the switch assembly, and providing convenience for users' work and use.

[0038] The end block 102 is internally fixedly connected with multiple pressure strips 14, which press against multiple outer pins 2.

[0039] Specifically, the pressure strip 14 is fixed inside the end block 102 and pressed against the outer pin 2. This fixes the outer pin 2 in the predetermined installation position, preventing displacement of the outer pin 2 during use, ensuring that each output point can respond accurately and promptly, ensuring the normal operation of the toggle switch, and providing convenience for the user's work.

[0040] Multiple positioning holes 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the bottom block 101, and multiple positioning pins 16 that are adapted to the positioning holes 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the end block 102.

[0041] Specifically, the positioning holes 15 and positioning pins 16 are designed so that during installation, the positioning pins 16 will be inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 15. Therefore, the cooperation between the positioning holes 15 and positioning pins 16 can play a positioning role in the assembly of the bottom block 101 and the end block 102, thereby ensuring that the subsequent engagement of the buckle protrusions 12 and buckles 13 can be more accurate, providing convenience for the user's installation work.

[0042] The top of the base block 101 has multiple heat dissipation holes 17.

[0043] Specifically, the heat dissipation hole 17 is designed to provide heat dissipation and cooling for the toggle switch. The heat generated when the switch is working will be dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation hole 17, thereby playing a role in heat dissipation and temperature control, extending the service life of the switch, and providing convenience for users' work and use.

[0044] It should be noted that the functions to be achieved by each hardware component in this utility model are supported by a large number of mature technologies and belong to the prior art. The essence of this utility model is to optimize and combine existing hardware and its connection methods for specific application scenarios to meet the adaptation requirements of specific application scenarios and solve the problems raised in the background technology (without involving improvements to the internal software of the hardware).
