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".

[0032] In some conventional switches, users can control the on / off state of the circuit by pressing or toggling the switch panel, thereby operating various electrical products and equipment. However, panel switches are so common that they may not meet the needs of all users, and may even sometimes cause aesthetic fatigue.

[0033] Embodiments of this disclosure provide a switch. The switch includes a base, a contact assembly, an actuator, and a rotating member. The base has a receiving space. The receiving space is disposed about a first axis. The contact assembly is at least partially disposed within the receiving space and connected to the base. The contact assembly can switch between a closed state and an open state. The actuator is at least partially disposed within the receiving space. The actuator can switch between a first position and a second position, thereby driving the switching of the contact assembly. The rotating member is disposed on one side of the base along the first axis. The rotating member is rotatably connected to the base about the first axis. The rotating member can push the actuator during rotation, thereby causing the actuator to drive the contact assembly to switch between a closed state and an open state. With this arrangement, a user can control the switching of the contact assembly between a closed state and an open state by rotating the rotating member, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit, which is convenient to operate. The following will be combined with... Figures 1 to 5 The principles of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the switch 100 includes a base 10, a contact assembly 60, an actuator 20, and a rotating component 30. The base 10 can be made of engineering plastics or ceramics, possessing not only high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance but also good insulation properties. The base 10 not only protects the internal components but also ensures the safety and reliability of the switch 100. A receiving space 11 is provided within the base 10. The receiving space 11 can be used to house the contact assembly 60, actuator 20, etc. The internal components of the switch 100 can operate stably within the receiving space 11 of the base 10, thereby preventing the internal components from being affected by dust, moisture, or other debris. As an example, the shape of the receiving space 11 can be a cuboid or a cylinder. The receiving space 11 can be arranged around a first axis R1 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base 10.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the contact assembly 60 is mounted in the receiving space 11 and connected to the base 10. The contact assembly 60 can switch between a closed state and an open state to achieve circuit on / off control. In some embodiments, a portion of the contact assembly 60 is disposed within the receiving space 11, while the remainder of the contact assembly 60 can extend out of the receiving space 11. In this way, the contact assembly 60 can be adapted to the size of the base 10 for connection with the actuator 20, thereby better fulfilling its function.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the actuator 20 can be installed within the receiving space 11 of the base 10. The actuator 20 can switch between a first position and a second position, thereby driving the state switching of the contact assembly 60. As an example, when the actuator 20 is in the first position, the actuator 20 can drive the contact assembly 60 to a closed state. When the actuator 20 is in the second position, the actuator 20 can drive the contact assembly 60 to an open state. In other embodiments, a portion of the actuator 20 can be installed within the receiving space 11 of the base 10, and the remaining portion of the actuator 20 can extend beyond the receiving space 11 of the base 10. In this way, the actuator 20 can cooperate with the contact assembly 60 and the external rotating member 30, allowing for better adaptation to the dimensions of the base 10.

[0037] As an example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base 10 also includes a support portion 12 disposed within the receiving space 11. The support portion 12 includes a limiting groove 13. A pin is provided on the actuator 20. The pin can be inserted into the limiting groove 13. In this way, the actuator 20 can rotate around the pin under the action of the limiting groove 13.

[0038] As another example, the base 10 may also include a slide rail disposed within the receiving space 11. An actuator 20 is slidably connected to the slide rail, thereby sliding between a first position and a second position. During sliding, the actuator 20 can drive a state switching of the contact assembly 60.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the receiving space 11 may include an opening 110. A rotating member 30 is disposed at the opening 110 of the receiving space 11. The rotating member 30 is rotatably connected to the base 10 about a first axis R1. The rotating member 30 can push the actuator 20 during rotation. By operating the rotating member 30, the user can switch the actuator 20 between a first position and a second position. The rotating member 30 can drive the actuator 20 to switch between a closed state and an open state during rotation. With this arrangement, the user can control the switching of the contact assembly 60 between a closed state and an open state by rotating the rotating member 30, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit, which is convenient to operate.

[0040] In other embodiments, the receiving space 11 may also not include the opening 110. The contact assembly 60 and the actuator 20 may be mounted into the base 10 from the side of the base 10 away from the rotating member 30 or from the side wall of the base 10.

[0041] In other embodiments, a positioning portion is provided on one side of the base 10, such as a positioning groove. The contact assembly 60 and the actuator 20 are connected to the positioning portion. When the base 10 and the rotating member 30 are assembled together, the rotating member 30 approaches the actuator 20, thereby pushing the actuator 20 to move during rotation.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, actuator 20 can rotate about a second axis R2 perpendicular to the first axis R1. As an example, when the user operates the rotating member 30 to rotate clockwise about the first axis R1, actuator 20 can rotate counterclockwise about the second axis R2. Actuator 20 can switch contact assembly 60 to a closed state, thereby connecting the circuit. When the user operates the rotating member 30 to rotate counterclockwise about the first axis R1, actuator 20 can rotate clockwise about the second axis R2, thereby switching contact assembly 60 to an open state.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the actuator 20 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 21 of the actuator 20 is connected to the contact assembly 60. When the first end 21 of the actuator 20 moves, it can drive the contact assembly 60 to complete a state switch. The rotating member 30 includes a pair of driving portions 31 disposed on the side facing the actuator 20. The pair of driving portions 31 are spaced apart from each other. The second end 22 is located between the pair of driving portions 31.

[0044] With this arrangement, when the rotating member 30 rotates, the paired drive units 31 on the rotating member 30 can apply a force to the second end 22 of the actuator 20, thereby causing the actuator 20 to rotate about the second axis R2. When the actuator 20 rotates, the first end 21 of the actuator 20 can drive the contact assembly 60, thereby switching the contact assembly 60 from an open state to a closed state or from a closed state to an open state.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the contact assembly 60 includes a stationary contact 61, a moving contact 62, and a resilient element 63. The stationary contact 61 is connected to the base 10. The moving contact 62 is disposed within the receiving space 11. The resilient element 63 is connected to the moving contact 62 and the base 10. The resilient element 63 abuts against the actuator 20 and is configured to apply a force to the moving contact 62, causing the moving contact 62 to abut against the stationary contact 61. With this arrangement, when the actuator 20 rotates, the actuator 20 applies an external force to the resilient element 63 to overcome the elastic force of the resilient element 63, causing the moving contact 62 to separate from the stationary contact 61, thereby cutting off the circuit. When the external force is removed, the resilient element 63 returns to its initial shape under the elastic force, which can push the moving contact 62 towards the stationary contact 61, thereby achieving automatic closure of the circuit.

[0046] As an example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic element 63 can be a metal sheet, such as a copper sheet or a stainless steel sheet. In this way, the elastic element 63 not only performs an elastic function but also a conductive function, thereby reducing the use of wires or connectors.

[0047] As another example, the elastic element 63 could also be a spring. In this way, the spring can push the moving contact 62 toward the stationary contact 61, thereby achieving rapid closure of the circuit.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the switch 100 also includes a support 40 and a rotating shaft 50. The support 40 is disposed at the opening 110 of the receiving space 11 and is connected to the base 10. The support 40 can be used to support and position the rotating member 30, allowing the rotating member 30 to rotate stably about the first axis R1. As an example, the support 40 includes a through hole 41. The through hole 41 allows the second end 22 of the actuator 20 to pass through the support 40. In this way, after passing through the through hole 41 on the support 40, the second end 22 of the actuator 20 can be inserted between the paired drive portions 31 and thus driven by the rotating member 30. The support 40 provides support and guidance without interfering with the rotation of the actuator 20, thereby allowing the actuator 20 to rotate flexibly.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the central axis of the rotating shaft 50 is coaxial with the first axis R1. One end of the rotating shaft 50 is connected to the rotating member 30. The other end of the rotating shaft 50 is rotatably mounted on the support member 40. When the user operates the rotating member 30 to rotate, the rotating shaft 50 can prevent the rotating member 30 from becoming eccentric or wobbling, thereby making the rotating member 30 rotate stably around the first axis R1.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support member 40 also includes a stop portion 42 disposed on the side facing the rotating member 30. The stop portion 42 can limit the pair of drive portions 31. As an example, the stop portion 42 can include a pair of sub-stop portions. When the pair of drive portions 31 abut against one of the sub-stop portions, the rotating member 30 cannot continue to rotate counterclockwise, and the contact assembly 60 is in the open state. When the pair of drive portions 31 abut against the other sub-stop portion, the rotating member 30 cannot continue to rotate clockwise, and the contact assembly 60 is in the closed state. With this arrangement, the user can use whether the rotating member 30 can continue to rotate as an indication of whether the operation is in place, thereby allowing the user to accurately control the opening and closing of the circuit. In addition, the stop portion 42 can also prevent the user from excessively rotating the rotating member 30, thus preventing damage to the actuator 20 and the contact assembly 60.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support member 40 also includes a pin hole 43. The rotating shaft 50 includes a first rotating end 51 and a second rotating end 52 disposed opposite to each other. The first rotating end 51 is connected to the rotating member 30. The second rotating end 52 is rotatably connected to the pin hole 43. With this arrangement, when the user operates the rotating member 30 to rotate, the second rotating end 52 of the rotating shaft 50 can rotate within the pin hole 43. The pin hole 43 and the rotating shaft 50 can prevent the rotating member 30 from becoming eccentric or wobbling, thereby allowing the rotating member 30 to rotate stably about the first axis R1.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 50 also includes multiple limiting protrusions 521. These limiting protrusions 521 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the second rotating end 52, preventing separation between the second rotating end 52 and the pin hole 43. With this arrangement, the outer diameter of the multiple limiting protrusions 521 is larger than the inner diameter of the pin hole 43. When the second rotating end 52 is inserted into the pin hole 43, the multiple limiting protrusions 521 can be engaged at the edge of the pin hole 43, thereby preventing the second rotating end 52 from being pulled out of the pin hole 43 axially. The multiple limiting protrusions 521 can axially limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 50, preventing the second rotating end 52 from loosening or falling off due to vibration, external force, or long-term use.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second rotating end 52 includes a plurality of elastic portions 522 extending along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 50. The plurality of elastic portions 522 are respectively connected to corresponding limiting protrusions 521 among the plurality of limiting protrusions 521. When the second rotating end 52 needs to be inserted into the pin hole 43 on the support member 40, the plurality of limiting protrusions 521 contact the edge of the pin hole 43. Since the outer diameter of the plurality of limiting protrusions 521 is larger than the inner diameter of the pin hole 43, the elastic portions 522 will bend radially under the action of external force, thereby allowing the plurality of limiting protrusions 521 to pass through the pin hole 43. After the second rotating end 52 is inserted into the pin hole 43, the external pressure is released, and the plurality of elastic portions 522 can return to their initial shape under the action of elastic restoring force. The plurality of limiting protrusions 521 can be locked at the edge of the pin hole 43, thereby preventing the second rotating end 52 from being pulled out of the pin hole 43 in the axial direction. Multiple elastic parts 522 facilitate the assembly of the second rotating end 52 with the pin hole 43, and enable multiple limiting protrusions 521 to perform limiting functions.

[0054] In other embodiments, a pin or elastic ring may be provided on the second rotating end 52. After the pin or elastic ring is installed on the second rotating end 52, the outer diameter of the pin or elastic ring is larger than the inner diameter of the pin hole 43, thereby preventing the second rotating end 52 from being pulled out of the pin hole 43.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotating member 30 also includes an indicator 32 for indicating the state of the contact assembly 60. In this way, when operating the rotating member 30, the user can determine the state of the contact assembly 60 based on the position of the indicator 32, making it more convenient to use.

[0056] As an example, the indicator 32 can be located on the top or side of the rotating member 30. The user can observe the position change of the indicator 32 when operating the switch 100. The indicator 32 can use different colored markings (such as red for "off" and green for "on"), text markings (such as "ON" and "OFF"), arrow directions, or scale alignment, etc., to cooperate with fixed markings on the base 10 or the housing to form a status indication.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, switch 100 can be a multiplexer switch 100. Contact assembly 60 includes multiple sub-contact assemblies. Each sub-contact assembly can independently switch between a closed and open state to control different circuits. Actuator 20 includes multiple sub-actuators. Each sub-actuator can drive the switching of its corresponding sub-contact assembly. Rotating member 30 includes multiple sub-rotating members. Each sub-actuator drives the switching of its corresponding sub-contact assembly. The multiple sub-rotating members are coaxially arranged around rotation shaft 50 and are respectively connected to their corresponding sub-actuators. During rotation, the multiple sub-rotating members can cause their respective sub-actuators to drive their corresponding sub-contact assemblies to switch between a closed and open state.

[0058] With this arrangement, during rotation, each sub-rotating component drives its corresponding sub-actuator to rotate or oscillate around its respective second axis R2 via its paired drive unit 31. Each sub-actuator can independently drive its connected sub-contact assembly to switch between a closed state and an open state.

[0059] As an example, multiple sub-contact components can be switched independently. In this way, when the user rotates one of the multiple sub-rotating elements of the switch 100, the corresponding sub-contact component switches between a closed state and an open state.

[0060] As another example, multiple sub-contact components cannot be switched independently. In this way, when some sub-contact components are in the closed state, the remaining sub-contact components can only be in the open state, thus allowing different circuits to switch in stages.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the plurality of sub-contact assemblies include a first sub-contact assembly 601 and a second sub-contact assembly 602. The plurality of sub-actuators include a first sub-actuator 201 and a second sub-actuator 202. The plurality of sub-rotators include a first sub-rotator 301 and a second sub-rotator 302. The first sub-actuator 201 can drive the first sub-contact assembly 601 to switch between a closed state and an open state. The second sub-actuator 202 can drive the second sub-contact assembly 602 to switch between a closed state and an open state.

[0062] The first sub-rotating element 301 is connected to the first sub-actuator 201. When the first sub-rotating element 301 rotates, it drives the first sub-actuator 201 to move, thereby causing the first sub-contact assembly 601 to switch between a closed state and an open state. The second sub-rotating element 302 is connected to the second sub-actuator 202. When the second sub-rotating element 302 rotates, it drives the second sub-actuator 202 to move, thereby causing the second sub-contact assembly 602 to switch between a closed state and an open state.

[0063] In this way, when the user operates the first sub-rotating component 301, they can independently control the on / off state of the first sub-contact assembly 601, thereby enabling or disabling the corresponding first circuit. When the user operates the second sub-rotating component 302, they can independently control the on / off state of the second sub-contact assembly 602, thereby enabling or disabling the corresponding second circuit.

[0064] In other embodiments, switch 100 may also include three sub-contact components, four sub-contact components, etc., thereby enabling independent control of multiple circuits.

[0065] It should be noted that the figures, values, etc., mentioned above and elsewhere in this disclosure are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Any other suitable figures or values ​​are possible.
