[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a four-button RGB switch control line structure includes: an upper housing 20, which is a hollow semi-capsule-shaped shell; a membrane button 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper housing 20, which is a circular membrane; a light groove 26 is also opened through the top of the upper housing 20, which is a circular hole; semi-circular openings are opened on the front and rear walls of the upper housing 20; three identical light grooves 26 are evenly opened in the rear half of the top of the upper housing 20; four identical membrane buttons 21 are evenly arranged longitudinally on the top of the upper housing 20; a light groove 26 is also opened between adjacent membrane buttons 21 in the front; an indicator light 25 is set on the wall of the circuit board assembly 24 at each corresponding light groove 26 position; the indicator lights 25 in the three flush light grooves 26 display the time of the lamp, which are eight hours, four hours and two hours respectively; and the individual light grooves 26 represent the display of the lamp being turned on or off.

[0030] The lower housing 22 is located at the bottom of the upper housing 20. The shape and size of the lower housing 22 are the same as those of the mirrored upper housing 20. Semi-circular openings are also provided on the front and rear walls of the lower housing 22. A circuit board assembly 24 is snapped onto the top of the lower housing 22. An indicator light 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the circuit board assembly 24. Wires 23 are fixedly connected to the front and rear walls of the circuit board assembly 24 respectively.

[0033] Downgrade three gears to 15-20W;

[0034] The brightness is reduced by four levels to 6-11W without power failure, and the brightness before turning off is remembered. The four membrane buttons 21 on the top of the upper housing 20 are the power button, brightness increase button, brightness decrease button, and timer button. The timer button is close to the light slot 26 that displays the timer. The upper housing 20 and lower housing 22 are made of ABS, the outer sheath of the wire 23 is PVC, and the copper wire of the wire 23 is made of copper-clad steel. One end of the wire 23 is connected to a US standard plug or a UK standard plug, and the other end of the wire 23 is electrically connected to the light source. This is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a locking structure is provided on the wall of the upper housing 20 to connect the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22. The locking structure includes: a fixed plate 30, a support rod 31, an insert plate 33, and an abutment frame 35. The fixed plate 30 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top opening of the lower housing 22. The support rod 31 is fixedly connected to the wall of the symmetrical fixed plates 30 facing each other. The insert plate 33 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the upper housing 20. The abutment frame 35 is slidably connected between the symmetrical insert plates 33.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the symmetrical insert plate 33 can enter between the symmetrical fixed plates 30. The insert plate 33 and the fixed plate 30 are rectangular plates of the same size. The support rod 31 is a rectangular rod. The circuit board assembly 24 is snapped onto the top of the symmetrical support rod 31. The abutment frame 35 is a rectangular frame. The engaging structure also includes a locking groove 32, a sliding groove 34, a counterweight 36, a slider 37, and a locking rod 38. The locking groove 32 is opened on the wall surface of the symmetrical fixed plates 30 facing each other. The sliding groove 34 is symmetrically opened on the wall surface of the symmetrical insert plate 33 facing each other. Assume that the counterweight 36 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the contact frame 35, the slider 37 is symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the contact frame 35, the locking rod 38 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the symmetrical insert plate 33, the locking groove 32 is a groove with a semi-circular cross section, the locking groove 32 can be adapted to the size of the locking rod 38, the locking rod 38 on each side can be locked in the locking groove 32 on each side, the sliding groove 34 is a rectangular groove, each slider 37 can slide up and down along the corresponding sliding groove 34, and the size of the contact frame 35 and the spacing of the symmetrical insert plate 33 are the same;

[0037] In practical use, the plug at the end of the wire 23 is plugged into the socket, and then the membrane button 21 of the control lamp is pressed to control the lamp connected to the end of the wire 23 for on / off and timed use. When the corresponding membrane button 21 is pressed, the circuit board assembly 24 will implement the corresponding command. When the timer is activated, the indicator light 25 in the corresponding lamp slot 26 will light up. During the on / off process of the lamp, the indicator light 25 in the individual lamp slot 26 will light up. When it is necessary to repair and disassemble the cavity of the upper housing 20, first keep the lower housing 22 above the upper housing 20. At this time, the contact frame 35 between the symmetrical insert plates 33 will gradually slide towards the upper housing 20 due to the weight of the counterweight 36. Then, the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 can be directly removed and separated. As the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 are gradually pried apart, the symmetrical insert plates 33 will cause the locking rod 38 to separate from the locking groove 32 due to the pressure of the symmetrical fixing plate 30. Complete separation within the locking groove 32 signifies complete separation of the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22. After separation, the circuit board assembly 24 can be disassembled and repaired. During assembly, the circuit board assembly 24 is installed on top of the symmetrical support rod 31, and then the upper housing 20 is placed on top of the lower housing 22 and pressed down. As the upper housing 20 is pressed down, it can drive the symmetrical insert plate 33 into the space between the symmetrical fixed plates 30, and the locking rod 38 will lock simultaneously. When the symmetrical insert plate 33 is inserted into the lock groove 32, the bottom of the symmetrical insert plate 33 will contact the top two sides of the circuit board assembly 24. When the upper housing 20 is above the lower housing 22, the counterweight 36 can drive the abutment frame 35 to move down to the lowest point of the slide groove 34. At this time, the symmetrical insert plate 33 will always be abutted by the abutment frame 35. When the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 are pried apart, the symmetrical insert plate 33 cannot drive the locking rod 38 to separate from the lock groove 32. The weight of the counterweight 36 is three times that of the abutment frame 35.

[0038] In summary, by setting up a locking structure, the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 can be docked and fixed by using the locking rod 38 to engage in the locking groove 32. No screwdriver is needed during disassembly and installation, and there is no need to worry about losing parts.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the fixed plate 30 is provided with a slot 40, and a limiting block 41 is fixedly connected in the slot 40. The two sides of the circuit board assembly 24 are symmetrically provided with limiting openings 42. The top of the lower housing 22 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a sealing rod 43. The bottom of the upper housing 20 is symmetrically provided with a sealing groove 44. The slot 40 is a rectangular groove. The limiting block 41 is a semi-circular block. The limiting block 41 on each side is located on the top of the supporting rod 31 on each side. The slot 40 can be adapted to the size of the limiting block 41. The limiting block 41 on each side can be snapped into the slot 40. The sealing rod 43 is a bracket-shaped rod. The sealing groove 44 can be adapted to the size of the sealing rod 43. The sealing rod 43 on each side can be snapped into the sealing groove 44 on each side.

[0040] In actual use, when installing the circuit board assembly 24, align the limiting openings 42 on each side of the wall of the circuit board assembly 24 and lock them in place at the limiting block 41. At this time, the circuit board assembly 24 cannot move on the top of the symmetrical support rod 31. After the lower housing 22 and the upper housing 20 are fitted together and assembled, the sealing rod 43 will be locked in the sealing groove 44.

[0041] In summary, by setting the slot 40 and the limiting block 41, the circuit board assembly 24 can be limited to prevent it from shifting and colliding with the walls of the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 after installation, thus preventing structural damage. The sealing rod 43 and the sealing groove 44 can improve the sealing performance of the gap between the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22, reducing the amount of dust entering the cavities of the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22.

[0042] Working principle: First, the lower housing 22 is held above the upper housing 20. At this time, the contact frame 35 between the symmetrical insert plates 33 will gradually slide towards the upper housing 20 due to the weight of the counterweight 36. Then, the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 are directly removed and separated. As the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 are gradually pried apart, the symmetrical insert plates 33 will cause the locking rod 38 to separate from the locking groove 32 due to the pressure of the symmetrical fixing plate 30. When the locking rod 38 is completely separated from the locking groove 32, it means that the upper housing 20 and the lower housing 22 are separated. After the complete separation of the housing 22, the circuit board assembly 24 can be repaired and disassembled. During assembly, the circuit board assembly 24 is installed on the top of the symmetrical support rod 31, and then the upper housing 20 is placed on top of the lower housing 22 and pressed down. As the upper housing 20 is pressed down, it can drive the symmetrical insert plate 33 into the space between the symmetrical fixed plates 30, and the locking rod 38 will be simultaneously inserted into the locking groove 32. At this time, the bottom of the symmetrical insert plate 33 will contact the top two sides of the circuit board assembly 24.

[0043] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are protected by this utility model.
