Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of push button switch technology, and more specifically, to a push button switch with lighting function. Background Technology
[0002] A push-button switch is a switch that uses a button to push a transmission mechanism to open or close the moving contact and switch the circuit. In electrical automatic control circuits, it is used to manually send control signals to control contactors, relays, electromagnetic starters, etc. As a core control component of electrical systems, the ease of operation and environmental adaptability of push-button switches directly affect the user experience and safety. Traditional switches do not have built-in lighting. In low-light scenarios such as bedrooms, corridors, or industrial plants at night, users need to rely on external light sources (such as mobile phone flashlights) to locate the switch, which poses a safety hazard. Therefore, a button switch with lighting function is proposed. Utility Model Content

After the light from the LED ring is diffused by a transparent cover 6, the switch position can be clearly marked. A photosensitive sensor 4 is set on the side of the housing 1. The photosensitive sensor 4 can collect the ambient light intensity in real time and transmit the signal to the control box 16 to realize automatic start and stop of lighting. A transparent cover 6 is fitted on the top of the housing 1. The transparent cover 6 can protect the LED ring 3 and the photosensitive sensor 4, and at the same time diffuse the light from the LED ring evenly to improve the lighting range. A button 8 is inserted into the top of the outer casing 1. A limiting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the button 8. A first spring 10 is provided at the bottom of the limiting ring 9. Pressing the button 8 compresses the first spring 10 through the limiting ring 9, making it easy to press and reset. A top block 11 is inserted into the bottom of the button 8. A limiting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the top block 11. A second spring 14 is provided at the top of the limiting plate 13. When the button 8 moves downward, it drives the top block 11 to move downward until the connecting plate 12 is in contact with the bottom contact plate 21 and the connecting plate 19. The connection between the connecting plate 19 and the contact plate 21 is achieved, thus opening the circuit. The second spring 14 is squeezed by the limiting plate 13, which can buffer the downward squeezing intensity of the connecting plate 12 and the top block 11, improving the stability of the connection. The bottom of the top block 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 12, and the top of the outer shell 1 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 5. The protective cover 5 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 1 via a hinge. In the non-operating state, the protective cover 5 is closed, which can prevent dust and moisture from entering the button 8 area and avoid accidental touch that could lead to misoperation. The bottom of the outer casing 1 is provided with a base plate 15, and the top of the base plate 15 is provided with a control box 16, a connecting plate 19, and a connecting ring 20. The bottom of the connecting plate 19 and the connecting ring 20 are fixedly connected with pins 22, and the top of the connecting ring 20 is fixedly connected with a contact plate 21. The control box 16 can provide power to the photosensitive sensor 4 and the lamp ring 3 and control their opening and closing. The pins 22 can electrically connect the bottom of the connecting plate 19 and the connecting ring 20 to an external power source. The contact plate 21 can be deformed to improve the contact effect.
[0020] As attached Figure 2-6 As shown, the limiting ring 9 and the first spring 10 are both located at the top of the separating ring 2. The top of the button 8 extends to the middle of the protective cover 5, and the bottom of the button 8 is located in the middle of the separating ring 2.

The contact plate 21 is set as a trumpet-shaped structure, and the contact plate 21 and the connecting plate 19 are located in the connecting plate. Directly below 12, the bottom of the first spring 10 is limited by the partition ring 2, causing the limiting ring 9 to drive the button 8 to generate an upward force. The second spring 14 pushes the limiting plate 13, which can buffer the downward pressure of the top block 11. The transparent cover 6 can protect the lamp ring 3 and the photosensitive sensor 4 and diffuse the light of the lamp ring 3. The structure composed of the connecting plate 19, the connecting ring 20, and the contact plate 21 can be adapted to the connecting plate 12. When the connecting plate 12 moves downward and fits with the connecting plate 19, it will squeeze the contact plate 21, improving the fit with the contact plate 21.

The bottom plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1 by bolts around the perimeter. The connection socket 17 is connected to the connection plug 7, which can realize the electrical connection between the photosensitive sensor 4, the lamp ring 3 and the control box 16. The control box 16 integrates an STM32F030 MCU controller and a power module. It can control the lamp ring 3 to turn on and off according to the signal of the photosensitive sensor 4. The connection wires 18 can easily connect the control box 16 to the connection plate 19 and the connection ring 20 to provide power to the lamp ring 3.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the switch pin 22 is inserted into the household circuit terminal. After power is turned on, the control box 16 is automatically initialized, and the photosensitive sensor 4 begins to collect ambient illuminance. When it gets dark, the photosensitive sensor 4 collects a signal and controls the light ring 3 to turn on through the control box 16. Then, the light is diffused through the transparent cover 6 to clearly indicate the switch position. Flip the protective cover 5 and press the button 8 to control the top block 11 to move the connecting plate 12 downward, so that the wall of the connecting plate 12 fits with the connecting plate 19 and the contact plate 21, thus connecting the circuit. Release the button 8, and the connecting plate 12 can be reset by the cooperation of the first spring 10 and the second spring 14, thus disconnecting the circuit.
