Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a sliding switch. Background Technology

[0002] Most wall switches on the market are rocker switches. In pursuit of aesthetics, wall switches are becoming increasingly thin and light. The applicant's earlier utility model patent application, CN202121165117.7, discloses an ultra-thin wall switch. It has a pair of trigger rockers on the switch panel that are linked with the button panel. The trigger rockers are also linked with a linkage block. When the button panel is pressed, the button panel flips and presses one of the linkage rockers. The linkage rocker rotates under the action of the button panel and lifts the linkage block, causing the linkage block to rotate. The rotation direction of the linkage block is opposite to that of the linkage rocker. While the linkage block is rotating, its inner end presses one of the swing arms on the trigger rocker, causing the swing arm to swing down (at this time, the trigger rocker swings). This causes the moving contact on the swing arm to come into contact with the stationary contact on the corresponding terminal and form an electrical connection. This linkage structure is a three-stage transmission structure, which breaks through the design limitations of the switch panel and can achieve a small swing angle of 3° and a short key travel of 2.5mm. It not only makes the wall switch thinner and more beautiful, but also optimizes the trigger feel and has the advantages of being lightweight and sensitive.

[0003] However, this structure is still within the category of rocker switches. Because the rocker has a swing angle, it will randomly be uneven during use, meaning that one end of the rocker will still protrude from the switch surface. For users who prefer a flat wall surface, this results in a poor user experience. Furthermore, rocker switches are activated by positive pressure, and users can easily trigger the switch to turn on or off by accidentally touching or leaning on it, which also affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sliding switch that triggers the switch to turn on or off via sliding operation. This design results in a smoother surface and a thinner structure, satisfying customers who desire a smooth switch surface. Furthermore, this switch is less likely to be accidentally triggered, significantly improving the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sliding switch, including a base and a panel mounted on the base, wherein an inlet terminal and an outlet terminal are installed in the base, and a first stationary contact and a second stationary contact are electrically connected to the inlet terminal and the outlet terminal respectively; it also includes a sliding plate, a transmission assembly, and a moving contact, wherein the sliding plate is slidably disposed on the panel, and the moving contact is movably disposed in the base, wherein the sliding plate is connected to the moving contact via the transmission assembly, and when the sliding plate drives the moving contact to move via the transmission assembly, the moving contact has a conductive position that simultaneously abuts against the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact, and a disconnected position that disengages from the first stationary contact and / or the second stationary contact.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding plate is operated and the moving contact is driven by the transmission component to realize the electrical conduction or disconnection of the first stationary contact.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example: As attached Figures 1-5 The sliding switch shown includes a base 1 and a panel 2 mounted on the base 1. The panel 2 is assembled onto the base 1 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection. An inlet terminal 3 and an outlet terminal 4 are installed inside the base 1. An opening is made on the base 1 for wires to pass through. Two wires are respectively connected to the inlet terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4. A first stationary contact 5 and a second stationary contact 6 are electrically connected to the inlet terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4, respectively. The first stationary contact 5 and the second stationary contact 6 are metal conductive sheets, specifically copper parts. The switch also includes a slide plate 7, a transmission assembly 8, and a moving contact 9. The slide plate 7 is slidably disposed on the panel 2 and can slide up and down as well as left and right. The moving contact 9 is movably disposed inside the base 1. The slide plate 7 is connected to the moving contact 9 through the transmission assembly 8. When the slide plate 7 drives the moving contact 9 to move through the transmission assembly 8, the moving contact 9 has a conductive position that simultaneously abuts against the first stationary contact 5 and the second stationary contact 6, and a disconnected position that disengages from the first stationary contact 5 and / or the second stationary contact 6. By sliding the sliding plate 7 and driving the moving contact 9 to move through the transmission component 8, the first stationary contact 5 is electrically connected or disconnected. The sliding operation replaces the traditional pressing and swinging operation for switch control. It has the advantages of a flatter surface and a thinner structure, which satisfies customers who want a flat switch surface. In addition, the switch is less likely to be accidentally triggered to turn on or off, which significantly improves the user experience.

[0033] As attached Figure 4As shown, the first stationary contact 5 is integrally provided with a supporting bend 10. One end of the moving contact 9 abuts against the supporting bend 10, and the other end of the moving contact 9 is provided with a moving contact 11. Under the action of the transmission assembly 8, the moving contact 9 swings around the contact position between the moving contact 9 and the supporting bend 10. For example, when the slide plate 7 slides up and down, the moving contact 9 swings up and down. The second stationary contact 6 is provided with a conductive stationary contact 12 for abutting against the moving contact 11 when the moving contact 9 moves to the conducting position. One end of the moving contact 9 always abuts against the supporting bend 10 on the first stationary contact 5, and the other end swings under the action of the transmission assembly 8 to achieve abutment or separation with the second stationary contact 6, thereby realizing the electrical conduction or disconnection of the switch.

[0034] As attached Figure 4 As shown, an auxiliary terminal 13 is also installed inside the base 1. An auxiliary contact piece 14 is electrically connected to the auxiliary terminal 13. The auxiliary contact piece 14 is provided with an auxiliary stationary contact 15 for abutting against the moving contact 11 when the moving contact 9 moves to the disconnected position. In this embodiment, the auxiliary terminal 13 is not connected to a wire. The auxiliary contact piece 14 is used to support the moving contact 9 when the switch is de-energized, making the switch structure more stable and reliable. In addition, the auxiliary terminal 13 can also be connected to a wire. When the first stationary contact 5 and the second stationary contact 6 are electrically connected, the first circuit is electrically connected. When the first stationary contact 5 and the auxiliary contact piece 14 are electrically connected, the second circuit is electrically connected, realizing the switching control of the two circuits.

[0035] As attached Figures 2-4 As shown, the transmission assembly 8 includes a transmission plate 16, a swing block 17, and a spring 18. A middle plate 19 is installed inside the base 1 to cover the inlet terminal 3 and the outlet terminal 4. The middle plate 19 can be assembled on the base 1 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection. The middle plate 19 is provided with an opening 20 for the swing block 17 to pass through, and the middle part of the swing block 17 is rotatably connected to the middle plate 19. The transmission plate 16 is slidably disposed on the side of the middle plate 19 near the panel 2, and the transmission plate 16 is linked to the end of the swing block 17 near the panel 2 to drive the swing block 17 to swing when sliding. The slide plate 7 is connected to the transmission plate 16 to drive the transmission plate 16 to move. The spring 18 is installed on the end of the swing block 17 away from the panel 2 to push the moving contact piece 9 to swing when the swing block 17 swings. When the sliding plate 7 is slidable, the sliding plate 7 drives the transmission plate 16 to slide, and the transmission plate 16 drives the swing block 17 to swing. The swing block 17 transmits the force to the moving contact 9 through the spring 18, causing the moving contact 9 to swing, thereby realizing the electrical conduction or disconnection of the first stationary contact 5 and the second stationary contact 6. The transmission component 8 has fewer parts, the transmission structure is simple and reliable, which is more conducive to the thin and light design of the switch, and the cost is lower.

[0036] As attached Figure 2As shown, the base 1 has a first V-shaped guide groove 21 for one end of the movable contact 9 to be inserted and guided to swing, and the swing block 17 has a second V-shaped guide groove 22 for the other end of the movable contact 9 to be inserted and guided to swing. The two ends of the movable contact 9 are guided and restricted by the V-shaped guide structure, making the swing of the movable contact 9 more stable and reliable.

[0037] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the end of the swing block 17 away from the panel 2 has a positioning cavity 23 for the spring 18 to be inserted. The inner end of the positioning cavity 23 has a first positioning protrusion 24, and the end of the movable contact piece 9 away from the supporting bend 10 has a second positioning protrusion 25. The two ends of the spring 18 are respectively sleeved on the first positioning protrusion 24 and the second positioning protrusion 25. This design can achieve stable transmission between the swing block 17, the spring 18, and the movable contact piece 9.

[0038] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a first rotating shaft 26 is provided on each side of the swing block 17, and a first shaft hole 27 adapted to the first rotating shaft 26 is provided in the through hole 20 of the middle plate 19, and the first rotating shaft 26 and the corresponding first shaft hole 27 are clearance-fitted. This design can realize the rotational engagement between the swing block 17 and the middle plate 19, and the connection structure is simple and reliable.

[0039] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the transmission plate 16 is provided with multiple linearly extending stroke limiting holes 28, and the middle plate 19 is provided with multiple guide protrusions 29 that cooperate with the stroke limiting holes 28 to limit the stroke of the transmission plate 16. Through the guiding cooperation of the holes and protrusions, the transmission plate 16 is guided and its stroke controlled, allowing it to slide only a certain distance in a specific direction. When it slides to the extreme positions at both ends, the corresponding switches are fully closed and fully open, respectively, making the structural fit more precise and the performance more reliable.

[0040] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the swing block 17 has a second rotating shaft 30 on each side near the end of the panel 2. The transmission plate 16 has a second shaft hole 31 that matches the second rotating shaft 30, and the second rotating shaft 30 and the second shaft hole 31 are clearance-fitted. The clearance fit provides displacement margin in the depth direction of the swing block 17, preventing it from jamming. The inner side of the slide plate 7 has multiple connecting hooks 32, which penetrate the panel 2, i.e., the panel 2 has an opening for the connecting hooks 32 to pass through. The transmission plate 16 has multiple through holes 33 for engaging with the connecting hooks 32. The slide plate 7 and the swing block 17 are connected to both sides of the transmission plate 16, and the inner and outer sides tighten the transmission plate 16, making the sliding of the transmission plate 16 more stable and reliable, and the transmission between the three is more stable.

[0041] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the middle plate 19 is provided with a recess 34 for the end of the connecting barb 32 to extend and move. This ensures smooth sliding of the slide plate 7 while avoiding an increase in the overall thickness of the switch, making the switch thinner and lighter.
