Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine switch technology, specifically a marine switch with indicator light. Background Technology
[0002] Marine indicator light switches are electrical components that add indicator light functionality to marine switches. They are mainly used to indicate the on / off status of circuits. The main body is made of copper, which is corrosion-resistant and has good conductivity, making it suitable for humid or high-salt spray environments.
[0003] When ships navigate at night, it is necessary to shield their lights. Existing marine switches with indicator lights typically use a light shield screwed onto the indicator light and a chain structure to connect the light shield to the metal casing to prevent it from falling off. However, this method requires the operator to hold the light shield hanging on the chain, move it to the indicator light, slip it over the light shield, and then rotate it to cover it, which is a time-consuming process. Therefore, a marine switch with indicator lights is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a marine switch with an indicator light to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model is a marine switch with an indicator light, comprising:
[0006] A marine switch, comprising a top cover, a knob, and an indicator light, wherein the knob is rotatably connected to one end of the top cover, and the indicator light is fixed to the other end of the top cover;
[0007] A shielding assembly includes a first support cover, an external thread, a first vertical hole, a second support cover, and a second vertical hole. The first support cover covers the indicator light and its lower end is fixed to the upper cover. The external thread is opened on the outer side of the lower end of the first support cover. The first vertical hole is opened on the first support cover and is evenly distributed. The second support cover covers the first support cover and its lower end is screwed onto the external thread. The second vertical hole is opened on the second support cover and is evenly distributed.
[0008] Furthermore, the shielding component also includes a first fan-shaped hole and a second fan-shaped hole. The first fan-shaped hole is opened at the top of the first support cover and is symmetrically distributed in a ring. The second fan-shaped hole is opened at the top of the second support cover and is symmetrically distributed in a ring.
[0009] Furthermore, the first vertical hole and the second vertical hole are the same size, and the first sector hole and the second sector hole are the same size.
[0010] Furthermore, when the lower end of the second support cover rotates to fit against the upper cover, the first vertical hole and the first fan-shaped hole are completely blocked.
[0011] Furthermore, the marine switch also includes a protective box, which is fixed to the lower end of the upper cover.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting component, which includes a limiting disc and a limiting ring. The limiting disc is fixed to the upper end of the upper cover, and the limiting ring is fixed to the outer side of the lower end of the second support cover, with the limiting ring located below the limiting disc.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes a support column, a threaded groove, and a threaded post. The support column is fixed to the upper end of the cover, the threaded groove is formed in the middle of the support column, the lower end of the threaded post is screwed into the threaded groove, and the upper end is fixed to the middle of the lower end of the limiting plate.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention, through its concealing component, allows for the following: at night, rotating the second support cover causes it to rotate on the external thread. When the lower end of the second support cover is in contact with the upper cover, the first vertical hole and the first fan-shaped hole are completely blocked, thus obscuring the indicator light. During the day, rotating the second support cover in the opposite direction causes the second vertical hole to coincide with the first vertical hole, and the second fan-shaped hole to coincide with the first fan-shaped hole, thus exposing the indicator light. This design allows for quick concealment and exposure of the light, and is simple in structure and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model is a marine switch with an indicator light, comprising:
[0027] A marine switch includes a top cover 11, a knob 12, and an indicator light 13. The knob 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the top cover 11, and the indicator light 13 is fixed to the other end of the top cover 11.
[0028] The marine switch also includes a protective box 10, which is fixed to the lower end of the upper cover 11;
[0029] The protective box 10 is used to install the knob 12 and the indicator light 13, and serves as support and protection. The top cover 11 serves as a seal and support. The knob 12 is the switch body, used to open and close the equipment and operate it. The indicator light 13 serves as an indicator, and the knob 12 and the indicator light 13 are connected by a cable.
[0030] The shielding assembly includes a first support cover 20, an external thread 21, a first vertical hole 22, a second support cover 24, and a second vertical hole 25. The first support cover 20 covers the indicator light 13 and its lower end is fixed to the upper cover 11. The external thread 21 is opened on the outer side of the lower end of the first support cover 20. The first vertical hole 22 is opened on the first support cover 20 and is evenly distributed. The second support cover 24 covers the first support cover 20 and its lower end is screwed to the external thread 21. The second vertical hole 25 is opened on the second support cover 24 and is evenly distributed.
[0031] The shielding assembly also includes a first sector-shaped hole 23 and a second sector-shaped hole 26. The first sector-shaped hole 23 is opened at the top of the first support cover 20 and is symmetrically distributed in a ring. The second sector-shaped hole 26 is opened at the top of the second support cover 24 and is symmetrically distributed in a ring.
[0032] The first vertical hole 22 and the second vertical hole 25 are the same size, and the first sector hole 23 and the second sector hole 26 are the same size;
[0033] When the lower end of the second support cover 24 is rotated to fit against the upper cover 11, the first vertical hole 22 and the first fan-shaped hole 23 are completely blocked.
[0034] The first support cover 20 and the second support cover 24 serve to shield the light, the external thread 21 serves as a connection, the first vertical hole 22 and the second vertical hole 25 are used to expose the light on the side of the indicator light 13, and the first fan-shaped hole 23 and the second fan-shaped hole 26 are used to expose the light on the top of the indicator light 13.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] At night, rotate the second support cover 24 so that it rotates on the external thread 21. When the lower end of the second support cover 24 is in contact with the upper cover 11, the first vertical hole 22 and the first sector hole 23 are completely blocked. At this time, the light of the indicator light 13 is blocked. During the day, rotate the second support cover 24 in the opposite direction so that the second vertical hole 25 coincides with the first vertical hole 22, and the second sector hole 26 coincides with the first sector hole 23. At this time, the light of the indicator light 13 is exposed.
[0037] This step can quickly block and expose the light, and it has a simple structure and is easy to operate.
[0038] Please see Figure 3-5 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0039] The limiting component includes a limiting plate 33 and a limiting ring 34. The limiting plate 33 is fixed to the upper end of the upper cover 11, and the limiting ring 34 is fixed to the outer side of the lower end of the second support cover 24, and the limiting ring 34 is located below the limiting plate 33.
[0040] The limiting assembly also includes a support column 30, a threaded groove 31, and a threaded column 32. The support column 30 is fixed to the upper end of the upper cover 11, the threaded groove 31 is opened in the middle of the support column 30, and the lower end of the threaded column 32 is screwed into the threaded groove 31, while the upper end is fixed to the lower middle of the limiting plate 33.
[0041] The support column 30 provides support, while the threaded groove 31 and threaded column 32 are used to connect the limiting plate 33. The limiting plate 33 and the limiting ring 34 provide limiting.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] After the switch is installed, the second support cover 24 is placed on the first support cover 20 and tightened by rotation. Then, the threaded post 32 at the lower end of the limit plate 33 is screwed into the threaded groove 31. When the ship is sailing during the day, the indicator light 13 needs to be exposed. At this time, the second support cover 24 is rotated and moves upward along the external thread 21. When the upper surface of the limit ring 34 moves to fit the lower surface of the limit plate 33, the second vertical hole 25 coincides with the first vertical hole 22, and the second sector hole 26 coincides with the first sector hole 23. At this time, the indicator light 13 is exposed.
[0044] This step prevents the second support cover 24 from falling off the first support cover 20 when it is rotated upwards.
