While preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The term "based on" means "at least partially based on". The terms "one example embodiment" and "one embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment".

[0046] As mentioned above, in conventional switches, the switch panel typically uses rotation or flipping to drive the internal contact components, thereby opening and closing the circuit. These switches have a relatively simple structure and are intuitive to operate, but they are quite thick. In practical use, this can cause inconvenience, such as increasing the risk of collisions or occupying more limited wall space, thus reducing the overall aesthetics of the room and the user experience to some extent.

[0047] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a slide switch 100. In this slide switch 100, a panel 60 can slide along a support piece 50 mounted on a frame 40, and the panel 60 can drive a contact assembly 20 to switch between an open and closed state during sliding. Using this arrangement, the switch panel 60 controls the on / off state of the circuit by sliding, which can reduce the thickness of the switch, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the room and the user experience. The following will be combined with... Figures 1 to 11 The principles of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slide switch 100 can switch the circuit on and off through a simple manual sliding operation, providing users with a convenient control experience. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the slide switch 100 includes a body 10, a contact assembly 20, a slider 30, a frame 40, a support piece 50, and a panel 60. The various components work together to complete the switching of the circuit state.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the body 10 serves as the support for the slide switch 100, typically made of plastic or metal, providing structural support for the entire switch. A recess 11 is provided inside the body 10. This recess 11 not only provides space for the installation and movement of the contact assembly 20 and the slider 30, but also ensures that the contact assembly 20 remains stable during state switching through an internal positioning structure.

[0050] The contact assembly 20 is located within the recess 11 and can realize the switching of the circuit. When the contacts of the contact assembly 20 are closed, the circuit is connected and current can flow. When the contacts are open, the current is cut off, thus breaking the circuit.

[0051] The slider 30 is installed within the groove 11 and is slidably connected to the body 10, allowing the slider 30 to slide freely within a certain range. The slider 30 is directly or indirectly connected to the contact assembly 20, and its movement drives the contact assembly 20 from an open state to a closed state, or from a closed state to an open state. The slider 30 needs to ensure smooth operation and sensitive response to improve the user's operating experience.

[0052] The frame 40 is located at the opening of the groove 11 and is tightly coupled to the body 10, serving a supporting and positioning function. A through hole 41 is provided on the frame 40, the position of which corresponds to the groove 11, providing an interface for the installation of subsequent components. The presence of the frame 40 enhances the stability of the overall switch structure while providing necessary boundary constraints for the sliding movement of the panel 60.

[0053] The support plate 50 is installed at the through hole 41 and connected to the frame 40 by fasteners or other means to form a sliding track. The support plate 50 is designed to guide and support the sliding movement of the panel 60, ensuring that the panel 60 can slide smoothly without deviating from the track or generating unnecessary friction.

[0054] Panel 60 serves as the interface for user interaction with slide switch 100. Its shape and specifications can be designed as needed to maintain aesthetics and ease of operation. Panel 60 is connected to slider 30 via mechanical connections (such as clips, screws, riveting, etc.) and can also be slidably mounted on support plate 50. By sliding panel 60, the user can indirectly drive slider 30 to move, thereby causing the contact assembly 20 to change state and control the circuit's on / off state.

[0055] In this way, when the user applies force to the panel 60 and slides it, the movement of the panel 60 is transmitted to the slider 30, which then slides within the groove 11. This movement directly or indirectly (through levers, springs, or other mechanisms) acts on the contact assembly 20, causing the contacts to switch from an open state to a closed state, or vice versa, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the circuit. The entire operation is simple and smooth, conforms to ergonomic design, and improves ease of use. Furthermore, the slide switch 100 is compact and thin, reducing the switch's thickness and thus improving the overall aesthetics of the room and the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame 40 includes a positioning step 42. The positioning step 42 is arranged around the edge of the through hole 41, and the positioning step 42 can fix the support piece 50.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a roughly rectangular through hole 41 is provided within the frame 40, and a positioning step 42 is provided along the edge of the through hole 41. The support piece 50 has a similar shape to the through hole 41, but its size is slightly larger than that of the through hole 41. When the support piece 50 is placed within the positioning step 42, its outer wall abuts against the positioning step 42, but it will not fall into the groove 11 of the body 10 along the through hole 41. In this way, the positioning step 42 on the frame 40 can fix the support piece 50.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support piece 50 is connected to the frame 40 by adhesive bonding. During assembly, adhesive is applied to the side of the support piece 50 facing the frame 40, and then the support piece 50 is aligned with the mounting position on the frame 40, such as the positioning step 42 mentioned above. After the adhesive solidifies, the support piece 50 and the frame 40 can be fixed.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, multiple riveting holes can be provided at the edge of the support piece 50, and multiple rivet posts can be provided at the edge of the frame 40 corresponding to the through hole 41. The support piece 50 and the frame 40 can be riveted together by inserting the multiple rivet posts one-to-one into the multiple riveting holes. To improve stability during riveting, an interference fit is used between the rivet posts and the riveting holes.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a groove 51 is provided on the support plate 50. The slide switch 100 also includes a slide seat 61, which is coupled to the side of the panel 60 facing the support plate 50 and slidably connected to the groove 51, and is coupled to the slider 30.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the function of the groove 51 is to guide and restrict the movement trajectory of the slider 61, ensuring smooth sliding and accurate positioning. The slider 61 is connected to the panel 60 and is installed on the side of the panel 60 facing the support plate 50. When the user pushes the panel 60, the force can be transmitted through the slider 61. The slider 61 can be embedded in the groove 51 on the support plate 50 and can slide freely within it. The slider 61 can move smoothly along a predetermined path without deviating or getting stuck. The slider 61 is also connected to the slider 30. The sliding action of the panel 60 is transmitted to the slider 30 through the slider 61, thereby driving the contact assembly 20 to complete the circuit switching operation.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the slide switch 100 also includes at least one pair of limiting protrusions 62 disposed on opposite sides of the slide base 61. Each limiting protrusion 62 includes a limiting groove 620. The limiting groove 620 is slidably connected to the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the slide groove 51.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two pairs of limiting protrusions 62 are provided on the sliding seat 61, with two limiting protrusions 62 on each opposite side of the sliding seat 61. Limiting grooves 620 are provided on the limiting protrusions 62, which can engage with the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the sliding groove 51 and slide along the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the sliding groove 51. In this way, under the limiting action of the limiting grooves 620, the sliding seat 61 will not separate from the support piece 50 during sliding. At the same time, the limiting grooves 620 also allow the sliding seat 61 to move smoothly along a predetermined path without deviating or jamming.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support piece 50 also includes at least one pair of notches 52. The at least one pair of notches 52 are provided at the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the groove 51, and the notches 52 allow the limiting protrusion 62 to be installed into the support piece 50.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, two pairs of notches 52 are provided at the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the slide groove 51, that is, two notches 52 are provided on each side of the slide groove 51. The distance between the two pairs of notches 52 corresponds to the distance between the two pairs of limiting protrusions 62. The shape and size of the limiting protrusions 62 on the sliding seat 61 match the notches 52 on the support piece 50. When these limiting protrusions 62 are inserted into the notches 52 of the support piece 50, the sliding seat 61 can be mounted on the support piece 50. Applying a force to the panel 60 can cause the limiting protrusions 62 to be misaligned with the notches 52. The limiting groove 620 can engage with the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the slide groove 51 and can slide along the edge of the support piece 50 corresponding to the slide groove 51.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the frame 40 corresponding to the through hole 41 at least partially obscures one of the at least one pair of notches 52 to limit the position of the at least one pair of limiting protrusions 62 to coincide with the position of the at least one pair of notches 52.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, two notches 52 on the left side of the support plate 50 are close to the ends of the slide groove 51, and the positions of these two notches 52 coincide with the edge portion of the frame 40 corresponding to the through hole 41. In this way, the limiting protrusion 62 of the sliding seat 61 can be installed onto the support plate 50 along the notches 52 first, and then the support plate 50 can be installed onto the frame 40. Since the edge of the frame 40 corresponding to the through hole 41 at least partially covers these two notches 52, the limiting protrusion 62 installed on the support plate 50 cannot move to coincide with the position of these two notches 52, so the sliding seat 61 will not separate from the support plate 50.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame 40 is detachably connected to the body 10. During assembly, the panel 60 and the frame 40 can be assembled into a single panel assembly, with the panel 60 sliding along the frame 40. Then, the panel assembly is installed onto the switch body 10. In this way, during switch installation and maintenance, operators do not need to separately remove the panel 60 from the frame 40, protecting the thin panel 60 from damage during assembly and disassembly, and extending the switch's lifespan.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a plurality of first buckles 43 are provided on the side of the frame 40 facing the body 10, and a plurality of first slots 12 are provided on the body 10. In this way, the plurality of first buckles 43 are aligned with the plurality of first slots 12, and then a force is applied to the frame 40 and the body 10, so that the plurality of first buckles 43 can be connected to the plurality of first slots 12, thereby realizing the connection between the frame 40 and the body 10.

[0070] In some alternative embodiments, a plurality of first slots 12 are provided on the side of the frame 40 facing the body 10, and a plurality of first buckles 43 are provided on the body 10. In this way, by aligning the plurality of first buckles 43 with the plurality of first slots 12, and then applying force to the frame 40 and the body 10, the plurality of first buckles 43 can be connected to the plurality of first slots 12, thereby realizing the connection between the frame 40 and the body 10.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, multiple first slots 12 are located at the edge of the body 10. In this way, the first clips 43 can be quickly pried off from the first slots 12 using tools such as screwdrivers, which helps in the disassembly of the frame 40 and the body 10.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, a connecting groove 31 is provided on the side of the slider 30 facing the slider seat 61. The slider seat 61 includes a connecting part 63, which is arranged on the side of the slider seat 61 facing the slider 30, and the connecting part 63 is inserted into the connecting groove 31 to drive the slider 30 to move through the connecting part 63.

[0073] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the sliding base 61 is slidably connected to the support plate 50, and the sliding base 61 and the sliding member 30 are connected together through the connecting part 63 and the connecting groove 31. When the user operates the panel 60, the sliding base 61 can slide relative to the support plate 50, and under the action of the connecting part 63 and the connecting groove 31, the sliding member 30 moves with the sliding base 61 and the panel 60.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the connecting portion 63 includes two opposing guide sidewalls 630. Each guide sidewall 630 includes a first guide end 631 and a second guide end 632, with the first guide end 631 being closer to the slider 30 than the second guide end 632, and the distance between the two first guide ends 631 being less than the distance between the two second guide ends 632, so as to guide the connecting portion 63 to mate with the connecting groove 31.

[0075] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, the two guide sidewalls 630 are inclined, forming a conical structure. The end of the connecting part 63 closer to the sliding seat 61 is larger, and the end of the connecting part 63 further away from the sliding seat 61 is smaller. A connecting groove 31 is provided on the sliding member 30, which can mate with the connecting part 63. In this way, during the assembly of the switch, if the connecting part 63 is aligned with the connecting groove 31, the connecting part 63 can be directly inserted into the connecting groove 31 to complete the switch assembly. If the connecting part 63 and the connecting groove 31 are slightly misaligned, since the distance between the two first guide ends 631 is less than the distance between the two second guide ends 632, the guide sidewall 630 can guide the connecting part 63 to mate with the connecting groove 31. That is to say, during the assembly of the switch, the operator does not need to strictly align the connecting part 63 with the connecting groove 31; they only need to keep their positions roughly corresponding to correctly install the connecting part 63 into the connecting groove 31. This arrangement reduces the assembly difficulty for the operator and helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the slide switch 100 also includes a positioning frame 70. The positioning frame 70 is disposed in the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10. Two parallel slide rails 71 are provided on the side of the positioning frame 70 facing the slider 30, and the two slide rails 71 are slidably connected to the slider 30.

[0077] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the positioning frame 70 is a rectangular hollow structure, and the contact assembly 20, etc., can be placed inside the positioning frame 70. Two stepped structures are provided at the end of the positioning frame 70 facing the slider 30, and the two stepped structures are arranged side by side to form two slide rails 71. The size of the slider 30 is adapted to the distance between the two slide rails 71, allowing the slider 30 to slide along the positioning frame 70 when placed between the two slide rails 71. In this way, the two slide rails 71 enable the slider 30 to move smoothly along a predetermined path without deviation or jamming, thereby ensuring the stability of the state switching process of the contact assembly 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, the positioning frame 70 is integrally formed with the body 10. In this way, two parallel slide rails 71 can be directly provided inside the body 10, and the slider 30 can move smoothly along a predetermined path on the body 10 without deviating or getting stuck.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the outer wall of the slider 30 is provided with at least one pair of second latches 32, and the at least one pair of second latches 32 are disposed opposite to each other. The positioning frame 70 includes at least one pair of second slots 72. The at least one pair of second slots 72 are disposed on opposite sides within the positioning frame 70 and are slidably connected to the at least one pair of second latches 32 to restrict the slider 30 from separating from the positioning frame 70.

[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, two pairs of second slots 72 are provided below the slide rail 71 of the positioning frame 70, that is, two second slots 72 are provided below each slide rail 71. Two pairs of second latches 32 are provided on the outer wall of the slider 30, with two second latches 32 on each side of the slider 30. In this way, the four second latches 32 are connected one-to-one with the four first slots 12. The first slots 12 allow the first latches 43 to slide, but restrict the slider 30 from separating from the positioning frame 70, thereby preventing the slider 30 from falling off the positioning frame 70 during movement.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the slide switch 100 also includes a fixing member 80. The fixing member 80 is disposed in the middle of the positioning frame 70 and is coupled to the body 10. The fixing member 80 can fix the contact assembly 20.

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the contact assembly 20 can switch between a closed state and an open state under the action of the slider 30, and includes at least a moving contact and a stationary contact. To maintain the positional relationship between the components of the contact assembly 20, a fixing member 80 is provided in the groove 11 of the body 10. The fixing member 80 can hold the stationary contact in a fixed position, ensuring that it will not shift under external force, thereby improving the stability of the circuit connection.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the contact assembly 20 includes a first conductive element 21, a second conductive element 22, and a third conductive element 23. The first conductive element 21 is disposed within the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10, and the first conductive element 21 can be connected to the phase wire. The second conductive element 22 is disposed within the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10, and there is a safe distance between the second conductive element 22 and the first conductive element 21. The third conductive element 23 is rotatably disposed within the groove 11, and the third conductive element 23 includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the third conductive element 23 abuts against the first conductive element 21, and the second end of the third conductive element 23 is coupled to a slider 30, and the second end can be driven by the slider 30 to contact or separate from the second conductive element 22.

[0084] like Figure 1 and 11 As shown, the first conductive element 21 is disposed within a groove 11 inside the body 10 and can be directly connected to the phase wire (or live wire) of the power supply. The second conductive element 22 is also located inside the groove 11 and coupled to the body 10. The second conductive element 22 maintains a certain safe distance from the first conductive element 21 to prevent accidental contact leading to short circuits or other safety accidents when the contacts are open. The third conductive element 23 is a rotatable component, also disposed within the groove 11. The third conductive element 23 has two ends, a first end and a second end. The first end of the third conductive element 23 abuts against the first conductive element 21 and remains in contact with it at all times. The second end of the third conductive element 23 is coupled to the slider 30. With this arrangement, when the panel 60 slides, the slider 30 acts on the third conductive element 23, causing the second end of the third conductive element 23 to move closer to or further away from the second conductive element 22. When the second end of the third conductive element 23 contacts the second conductive element 22, a complete current path is formed from the first conductive element 21 to the second conductive element 22, and the contact assembly 20 switches to the closed state. When the second end of the third conductive element 23 separates from the second conductive element 22, the circuit is cut off, and the contact assembly 20 switches to the open state.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the second end of the third conductive element 23 is closer to the slider 30 than the first end.

[0086] like Figure 11 As shown, the third conductive element 23 can be a metal sheet. Inside the switch, the metal sheet is arranged vertically. Under the action of the slider 30, the third conductive element 23 can swing left and right, thereby contacting or separating from the second conductive element 22. With this arrangement, the contact assembly 20 can switch between the closed and open states by rotating the third conductive element 23 by a small angle, thereby reducing the movement distance of the slider 30.
