AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing toggle switches require the previous position to be disconnected before being connected to the next position when switching, which cannot meet certain control requirements.

Method used

The design adjusts the contact feet on both sides of the contact piece by having different spans. The contact foot with the larger span first crosses the distance between adjacent connection terminals and makes contact with the next connection terminal to conduct electricity, while the contact foot with the smaller span remains in contact with the original connection terminal until the two contacts detach from the original terminals and disconnect.

Benefits of technology

It enables the switching of gears so that the previous gear is disengaged after the next gear is engaged, thus meeting specific control requirements.
