Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switches, and in particular to an intelligent switch. Background Technology

[0002] Existing push-button switches use a seesaw principle to turn appliances on or off. Specifically, pressing one side of the button causes the other side to tilt, completing the circuit and turning the appliance on; pressing the other side tilts one side, breaking the circuit and turning the appliance off. This requires users to identify which side of the button is tilted and press it, which is inconvenient. To address this, a smart switch has emerged that eliminates the need for user identification. Regardless of which side is pressed, the entire button automatically resets. This smart switch has a circuit board with touch points. Repeatedly touching these points with the button alternates between on and off the circuit: pressing the button connects the circuit to the touch point, and pressing it again disconnects the circuit.

[0003] In existing smart switches, button reset is achieved using springs, which abut against both the button and the circuit board. Besides the springs, additional components are needed to stabilize them and prevent displacement during extension and contraction. This structure is complex, costly, and involves many components. Furthermore, after repeated use, the springs may deform, losing elasticity and becoming unreliable and not durable.

[0004] In addition, to help users better identify whether the circuit is on or off, indicator lights are usually installed on the circuit board. The indicator light illuminates when the circuit is on and turns off when the circuit is off. Traditionally, the buttons have corresponding light-transmitting holes to allow light to pass through. However, this structure is not only unsightly, but also allows foreign objects to easily enter the switch, increasing manufacturing difficulty and cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent switch that is simple in structure, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an intelligent switch, including a base and a control board, a support frame and a button disposed on the base, wherein the button, the support frame, the control board and the base are arranged in sequence.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0036] See Figure 1-8 This utility model discloses an intelligent switch, including a base 1 and a control board 2, a support frame 3 and a button 4 disposed on the base 1, wherein the button 4, the support frame 3, the control board 2 and the base 1 are arranged in sequence.

[0037] The button 4 is made of a light-transmitting material.

[0038] The support frame 3 includes a support plate 31 and a reset rib 32 disposed on the support plate 31. The button 4 is movably connected to the support plate 31. The reset rib 32 extends obliquely from the support plate 31 toward the button 4. The button 4 can abut against the reset rib 32 to reset the button 4.

[0039] The button of this smart switch is made of a light-transmitting material, allowing light to be displayed through the button. This eliminates the need for a light-transmitting hole on the button, ensuring the integrity of the button, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing, preventing foreign objects from entering the switch, reducing manufacturing difficulty, and lowering manufacturing costs.

[0040] This utility model of an intelligent switch uses a reset rib to automatically reset the button. Specifically, the reset rib extends at an angle from the support plate towards the button. When the button is pressed and touches the open / close contact on the control board, the button also touches the reset rib, pushing the rib towards the control board and causing it to elastically deform. When the button is released, the reset rib returns to its original shape, pushing the button outward and automatically resetting it. This reset rib design eliminates the need for springs and other components, utilizing the rib's own elastic deformation to reset the button. It features fewer components, a simple and reliable structure, durability, and low cost.

[0041] Preferably, the light-transmitting material is glass, acrylic, or PC, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 31 and the reset rib 32 form a preset angle α, that is, the planes containing the support plate 31 and the reset rib 32 form a preset angle α, which is 5°-30°. More preferably, the preset angle α is 10°-25°. More preferably, the preset angle α is 10°-20°.

[0043] The predetermined angle ensures that the elastic force generated by the reset rib is moderate, and the connection between the support plate and the reset rib is reliable, making it less prone to breakage even after multiple deformations. Compared to a spring, the reset rib structure of this invention is more reliable and durable.

[0044] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the free end of the reset rib 32 is provided with a reset protrusion 321, and the button 4 abuts against the reset rib 32 via the reset protrusion 321. More preferably, the reset protrusion 321 is hemispherical in shape. The setting of the reset protrusion reduces the friction between the button and the reset rib, making the pressing feel better and preventing the reset rib from getting stuck. It also enhances elasticity, and the structure is simple and durable.

[0045] It should be noted that, in order to reduce friction and prevent jamming, improve the pressing feel, and prepare the opening / closing contacts and reset protrusions, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the back of the button 4 is provided with an opening / closing contact (not shown in the figure) and a reset contact 43; the control board 2 is provided with opening / closing contacts, and the opening / closing contact 22 is provided in correspondence; the reset contact 43 is provided in correspondence with the reset protrusion 321.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the reset rib 32 and the support plate 31 are connected by a reinforcing rib 322. The reinforcing rib further strengthens the connection between the reset rib and the support plate, making the reset rib more durable.

[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 3 also includes a support frame 33. The support plate 31 and the support frame 33 are fixedly connected, and the support frame 33 is sleeved on the outside of the base 1. The support frame is designed to position the support plate and facilitate its installation and fixation. The support plate is located in the middle of the support frame, with open sides to expose the indicator light and the on / off contacts, allowing the button to touch the on / off contacts and the indicator light to illuminate the button.

[0048] Preferably, the support frame 3 is integrally formed, with a simple and reliable structure.

[0049] Preferably, such as Figure 6As shown, the support plate 31 is provided with a supporting movable block 311, and the back of the button 4 is provided with a locking block (not shown in the figure); the locking block and the supporting movable block 311 are connected, and the locking block can rotate around the supporting movable block 311. Specifically, the locking block and the supporting movable block 311 are engaged. When the user presses one side of the button, the locking block, i.e., the button, can rotate around the supporting movable block. At the same time, the button touches the reset rib, causing the reset rib to deform; it touches the on / off contact, causing the circuit to open or close. After the user releases the button, the button resets. Pressing the opposite side of the button produces the same effect. Therefore, the user does not need to distinguish which side of the button to press, making it convenient to use.

[0050] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, the reset ribs 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 31. The number of reset ribs 32 arranged on both sides of the support plate 31 is equal.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 8 As shown, this utility model also includes a light-shielding component 5, which is fixedly connected to the button 4; the light-shielding component 5 includes a light-shielding block 51 and a light-shielding sleeve 52, the light-shielding block 51 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 53; the control board 2 is provided with an indicator light 21, the light-shielding sleeve 52 is sleeved on the indicator light 21, and the indicator light 21 and the light-transmitting hole 53 are correspondingly arranged.

[0052] The light shield prevents the indicator light from shining outwards and weakening its intensity. The light shines through the light-transmitting holes onto the buttons, causing the light to illuminate a specific area of ​​the button.

[0053] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the button 4 has a light-transmitting area 41, and the light-shielding block 51 is fixedly connected to the light-transmitting area 41, so that the button 4 and the light-shielding block 51 can move together, avoiding obstruction of the button's movement or even jamming. The thickness of the light-transmitting area 41 is less than that of other areas of the button 4, making the light-transmitting area more transparent.

[0054] Better, such as Figure 3 As shown, a light-shielding groove 42 is provided on the back of the button 4, and the light-shielding groove 42 is correspondingly provided with the light-transmitting area 41. The light-shielding component is fixedly installed in the light-shielding groove. The light-shielding groove plays a limiting role for the light-shielding component, preventing it from shifting and preventing it from being detached from the button by external force, and further playing a role in fixing the button and the light-shielding component.

[0055] Preferably, the light-shielding member 5 is made of an elastic material. When the button is pressed, the light-shielding member may come into contact with the control panel. To prevent the light-shielding member from obstructing the movement of the button, the light-shielding member is made of an elastic material, which allows it to undergo elastic deformation and also helps the button to reset.

[0056] More preferably, the elastic material is silicone, but not limited thereto. Silicone can both block light and produce elastic deformation.

[0057] In summary, this utility model provides an intelligent switch that is simple, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing.

[0058] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
