Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toggle switch technology, specifically to a deformation-resistant toggle switch. Background Technology
[0002] A toggle switch is a basic electronic component that controls the power-on and power-off states of electrical appliances or equipment by manually moving an operating lever to connect or disconnect a circuit. During the connection process, toggle switches need to be soldered onto components using reflow soldering. However, reflow soldering provides a heating environment that melts the solder paste, allowing the toggle switch and the components to be reliably bonded together through the solder paste alloy. During soldering, excessively high ambient temperatures can easily cause the plastic housing of the toggle switch to deform or melt, resulting in the toggle switch malfunctioning. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect in the prior art that the plastic shell of the toggle switch is easily deformed or melted due to excessively high ambient temperature, thereby providing a toggle switch that can prevent deformation at high temperatures.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an anti-deformation toggle switch, including a base, a top cover covering the base, and a sliding groove opened inside the base. The sliding groove is provided with a gear position component and a lever that slides above the gear position component. The base includes a bottom plate and extension plates located on both sides of the bottom plate. The extension plates include an extension end and a reinforcing end.
[0005] Furthermore: a heat dissipation groove is provided between the extended end and the reinforced end; the gear assembly includes a common plate and several gear plates disposed on both sides of the common plate; a contact bridge is fixed at the lever; the contact bridge includes a first connecting end that contacts the common plate and a second connecting end that contacts any one of the gear plates.
[0006] Furthermore: the gear shift plate includes a first gear shift and a second gear shift disposed on one side of the common plate, and a third gear shift and a fourth gear shift plate disposed on the other side.

[0008] Furthermore: the lever is positioned on the side of the toggle block and is set parallel to the toggle block.
[0009] Furthermore: the lever is positioned at the top of the toggle block and is set perpendicular to the toggle block.
[0010] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. This utility model provides an anti-deformation toggle switch, in which a gear position assembly is embedded in a sliding groove, and a lever slides within the gear position assembly to switch between various gear positions. Compared with the prior art, the extension plate includes an extension end and a reinforcing end. Compared with the prior art, the thickness of the extension plate is increased by the setting of the extension end and the reinforcing end, thereby achieving a reinforcing effect on the extension plate. During reflow soldering, it can effectively prevent the base of the toggle switch from deforming due to high temperature, which would cause the toggle switch to fail. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example
[0025] This embodiment provides an anti-deformation toggle switch, including a base 1, an upper cover 2 covering the base 1, and a sliding groove 3 opened inside the base 1. The sliding groove 3 is provided with a stop assembly 4 and a lever 5 that slides above the stop assembly 4. The base 1 includes a base plate 11 and extension plates 12 located on both sides of the base plate 11. The extension plates 12 include an extension end 13 and a reinforcing end 14.
[0026] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-5As shown, the gear position assembly 4 is embedded in the sliding groove 3, and the lever 5 slides in the gear position assembly 4 to switch between various gear positions. Compared with the prior art, the extension plate 12 includes an extension end 13 and a reinforcing end 14. Compared with the prior art, the thickness of the extension plate 12 is increased by setting the extension end 13 and the reinforcing end 14, thereby achieving the effect of reinforcing the extension plate 12. During reflow soldering, it can effectively prevent the base 1 of the toggle switch from deforming due to high temperature, which would cause the toggle switch to fail.
[0027] Based on the above embodiments: a heat dissipation groove 15 is provided between the extension end 13 and the reinforcing end 14; the gear assembly 4 includes a common plate 41 and a plurality of gear plates 42 disposed on both sides of the common plate 41; a contact bridge 6 is fixed at the lever 5; the contact bridge 6 includes a first connecting end 61 that contacts the common plate 41 and a second connecting end 62 that contacts any one of the gear plates 42.
[0028] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a heat dissipation groove 15 is provided between the extension end 13 and the reinforcement end 14. During reflow soldering, the heat of the soldering will be conducted to the extension end 13. There is a heat dissipation space between the extension end 13 and the reinforcement end 14. Even if the temperature at the extension end 13 is too high, the temperature at the reinforcement end 14 will be much lower than the temperature at the extension end 13. This can effectively prevent the reinforcement end 14 from deforming due to high temperature, thereby ensuring that the lever 5 can slide in the sliding groove 3. The lever 5 has a contact bridge 6. The two ends of the bridge are the first connecting end 61 and the second connecting end 62, respectively. The first connecting end 61 is always in contact with the common plate 41, and the second connecting end 62 will contact any gear on the gear assembly 4.
[0029] Based on the above embodiments: the gear plate 42 includes a first gear plate 43 and a second gear plate 44 disposed on one side of the common plate 41, and a third gear plate 45 and a fourth gear plate 46 disposed on the other side.
[0030] Based on the above embodiments: the gear plate 42 includes a first gear plate 43 and a second gear plate 44 disposed on one side of the common plate 41, and a third gear plate 45 and a fourth gear plate 46 disposed on the other side.
[0031] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, the switch plate 42 includes four positions: the first position 43, the second position 44, the third position 45, and the fourth position. The common plate 41 is located between the second position 44 and the third position 45. The first connecting end 61 contacts the common plate 41, while the second connecting end 62 contacts any one of the first position 43, the second position 44, the third position 45, and the fourth position, thereby realizing the toggle switch to different positions.
[0032] Based on the above embodiments: the gear plate 42 includes an inlet terminal 7 and an outlet terminal 71, the contact bridge 6 includes a first connecting bridge 8 that contacts the inlet terminal 7 and a second connecting bridge 81 that contacts the outlet terminal 71, a toggle block 9 is connected to the first connecting bridge 8 and the second connecting bridge 81, the lever 5 is fixed to the toggle block 9, and a first connecting end 61 and a second connecting end 62 are provided on the first connecting bridge 8 and the second connecting bridge 81.
[0033] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the stop plate 42 includes an inlet terminal 7 and an outlet terminal 71. Wires are connected to both the inlet terminal 7 and the outlet terminal 71. The contact bridge 6 includes a first connecting bridge 8 and a second connecting bridge 81. The first connecting bridge 8 and the second connecting bridge 81 are arranged in parallel, and both are provided with a first connecting end 61 and a second connecting end 62. The first connecting end 61 on the first connecting bridge 8 contacts the common plate 41 on the side of the outlet terminal 71, and the second connecting end 62 on the first connecting bridge 8 contacts the stop plate 42 on the side of the outlet terminal 71. Similarly, the first connecting end 61 on the second connecting bridge 81 contacts the common plate 41 on the side of the inlet terminal 7, and the second connecting end 62 on the second connecting bridge 81 contacts the stop plate 42 on the side of the inlet terminal 7.
[0034] Based on the above embodiment: the lever 5 is positioned on the side of the toggle block 9 and is arranged parallel to the toggle block 9.
[0035] Based on the above embodiment: the lever 5 is positioned at the top of the toggle block 9 and is set perpendicular to the toggle block 9.
[0036] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: In order to adapt to different usage scenarios, the setting direction of lever 5 can be selected according to customer requirements during the manufacturing process, thereby realizing customized needs.
[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
