Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of switches, and in particular relates to a metal rocker switch. Background Technology

[0002] A metal rocker switch is a new type of switch that combines the contacts and operating mechanism of a traditional rocker switch (boat switch) with the housing of a metal push-button switch. Its structure includes: a base, a metal housing outside the base, normally closed and normally open pins at the bottom of the base, an operating component at the top of the base, and a rocker mounted on the normally closed pin. The rocker has a moving contact, and the normally open pin has a stationary contact that engages with the moving contact. The operating component includes a rotatable rocker mounted on the top of the base, a sliding sleeve at the bottom of the rocker, a spring inside the sliding sleeve, and a button mounted on the top of the rocker. The main disadvantages are: 1. Forcing the shafts at both ends of the rocker into the shaft holes of the base can easily cause deformation or breakage of the base; 2. Wiring between the pins and the PCB board is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a metal rocker switch that is easier to assemble and wire.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model includes: a base, a metal shell outside the base, normally closed pins and normally open pins at the bottom of the base, an operating component at the upper end of the base, and a rocker mounted on the normally closed pin. The rocker is provided with a moving contact, and the normally open pin is provided with a stationary contact that engages with the moving contact. The operating component includes a rotatable swing seat mounted on the upper end of the base, a sliding sleeve mounted at the bottom of the swing seat, a spring mounted in the sliding sleeve, and a button mounted on the upper end of the swing seat. The swing seat has integrally formed rotating shaft seats and rotating shafts on the rotating shaft seats on both sides. The rotating shaft seats include a connecting part and a suspended part. The upper half of the rotating shaft is connected to the connecting part, and the lower half is connected to the suspended part. The upper end of the base is provided with a shaft hole connected to the rotating shaft, and the shaft hole has second slots on both sides. The lower end of the rotating shaft is provided with an inclined first guide surface, and the shaft hole is provided with an inclined second guide surface above it.

[0005] The swing seat has a lower mounting cavity and an upper mounting cavity, and an inlet hole is provided between the lower mounting cavity and the upper mounting cavity. The spring and the sliding sleeve are installed in the lower mounting cavity in sequence. The PCB board with light is installed in the upper mounting cavity. A connecting rod is integrally formed on the upper end of the spring. The connecting rod passes through the inlet hole and connects to the PCB board with light.

[0006] The upper end of the swing seat is provided with hooks at both ends, the bottom of the button is provided with a hanging hole for the hooks, and a clearance notch is provided below the hanging hole.

[0007] The button is hollow, and a transparent plate and a metal cover are arranged sequentially at the top.

[0008] The base sidewall is provided with positioning ribs.

[0009] The suspended portion is provided with first reinforcing ribs on both sides.

[0010] The hook is provided with a second reinforcing rib on both sides.

[0011] A sealing ring and a mounting nut are sequentially provided on the outside of the metal casing.

[0012] The advantages of the metal rocker switch of this utility model are as follows: there is good tension between the rotating shaft and the shaft hole, which prevents deformation or cracking of the base sidewall during assembly, thus facilitating assembly.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-8As shown, the metal rocker switch of this utility model includes a base 1, a metal housing 2 disposed outside the base 1, a normally closed pin 3 and a normally open pin 4 disposed at the bottom of the base 1, an operating component 35 disposed at the upper end of the base 1, and a rocker 5 mounted on the normally closed pin 3. The rocker 5 is provided with a moving contact 6, and the normally open pin 4 is provided with a stationary contact 7 whose head engages with the moving contact 6 for switching on and off. The operating component 35 includes a rotatable swing seat 8 mounted on the upper end of the base 1, a sliding sleeve 9 mounted at the bottom of the swing seat 8, a spring 10 mounted inside the sliding sleeve 9, and a button 11 mounted on the upper end of the swing seat 8. The swing seat 8 has integrally formed rotating shaft seats 12 on both sides and a rotating shaft 13 disposed on the rotating shaft seats 12. The rotating shaft seat 12 includes a connecting part 14 and a suspended part 15, the connecting part 14 being integrally formed on the swing seat 8. The upper half of the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the connecting part 14, and the lower half of the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the suspended part 15. The upper end of the base 1 is provided with a shaft hole 16 connected to the rotating shaft 13, and the shaft hole 16 is provided with second slots 17 on both sides. The lower end of the rotating shaft 13 is provided with an inclined first guide surface 18, and the upper part of the shaft hole 16 is provided with an inclined second guide surface 19. When the rotating shaft 13 is pressed into the shaft hole 16, the lower end of the rotating shaft 13 is first subjected to force, so that the suspended part 15 can be squeezed inward, and at the same time, the sidewall of the edge of the shaft hole 16 is squeezed outward, so that the rotating shaft 13 can be smoothly installed. After installation, the suspended part 1 and the edge of the shaft hole 16 are reset.

[0023] Preferably, the swing seat 8 has a lower mounting cavity 20 and an upper mounting cavity 21, with a wire inlet hole 22 between the lower mounting cavity 20 and the upper mounting cavity 21. The spring 10 and the sliding sleeve 9 are sequentially installed in the lower mounting cavity 20, and an LED PCB board 23 is installed in the upper mounting cavity 21. A connecting rod 24 is integrally formed on the upper end of the spring 10, and the connecting rod 24 passes through the wire inlet hole 22 and connects to the LED PCB board 23. This enables quick wiring between the pins and the PCB board.

[0024] Preferably, the upper end of the swing seat 8 is provided with hooks 25 at both ends, the bottom of the button 11 is provided with a hanging hole 26 for the hooks 25, and a clearance notch 27 is provided below the hanging hole 26. By providing the clearance notch 27, the obstruction surface between the hook 25 and the hanging hole 26 is reduced, thereby making it easier for the hook 25 to be inserted into the hanging hole 26.

[0025] Preferably, the button 11 is hollow, and its upper end is provided with a transparent plate 28 and a metal cover 29 in sequence. This structure allows light from the illuminated PCB board 23 to be emitted.

[0026] Preferably, the base 1 has positioning ribs 30 on its side wall for positioning during installation.

[0027] Preferably, the suspended portion 15 is provided with first reinforcing ribs 31 on both sides, and the hook 25 is provided with second reinforcing ribs 32 on both sides to improve the connection strength.

[0028] Preferably, a sealing ring 33 and a mounting nut 34 are sequentially provided on the outside of the metal housing 2 to facilitate the installation and sealing of the product.

[0029] As stated above, this is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed structure and technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
