[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 7 In modern electronic devices, DIP switches are common control components, and their performance and stability are crucial for the normal operation of the equipment. The DIP switch structure involved in this invention aims to solve the problems of complex structure, easy damage, and high cost existing technologies. Through innovative design, it provides a DIP switch that is structurally stable, easy to manufacture, and inexpensive.

[0031] The DIP switch structure described in this embodiment mainly consists of a housing 14, a DIP switch 11, and a connecting piece 6. The housing 14 serves as the external frame of the entire switch, with its central portion designed as a hollow section. This design not only reduces the overall weight but, more importantly, provides space for the installation and movement of the DIP switch 11. Through a specific structural design, the DIP switch 11 can be stably inserted into the hollow section of the housing 14 and can move within it to achieve switching between different positions.

[0032] To ensure that the DIP switch 11 can accurately position itself at each gear during movement, a positioning groove 12 is provided inside the hollow part of the housing 14. A protrusion 13 is specially designed on one side of the DIP switch 11. When the user moves the DIP switch 11, this protrusion 13 moves within the positioning groove 12. The shape and size of the positioning groove 12 match the protrusion 13, allowing the protrusion 13 to slide smoothly within it. Simultaneously, at each predetermined gear position, the structure of the positioning groove 12 provides a certain resistance to the protrusion 13, thereby achieving precise positioning of the DIP switch 11. This design effectively avoids the problem of the DIP switch 11 wobbling or inaccurate positioning during movement, improving the stability and service life of the switch.

[0033] The connecting piece 6 is responsible for the circuit connection and is also closely related to the movement of the DIP switch 11. The left side of the connecting piece 6 is fixed to the two-core sheathed wire 3 by riveting. This connection method is firm and reliable, ensuring that it will not loosen or have poor contact during long-term use. The two-core sheathed wire 3 contains the main negative terminal 1 and the main positive terminal 2, which are the core conductive parts of the circuit. To further enhance the stability of the connection, a wire clip 4 is placed between the two-core sheathed wire 3 and the connecting piece 6. The wire clip 4 can firmly fix the two together, preventing the wire from loosening due to external force or vibration. A conductive path is formed between the connecting piece 6 and the main negative terminal 1, thereby realizing the function of current transmission.

[0034] On the other side of the housing 14, two flanged copper terminals 8 are installed, which are connected to negative circuit one 10 and negative circuit two 9, respectively. The flanged design of the copper terminals 8 not only increases the contact area between the copper terminals 8 and the circuit, improving conductivity, but also makes the copper terminals 8 more stable when in conjunction with the DIP switch 11. The two copper terminals 8 are fixed to the three-core sheathed wire with the wire clip 4 by riveting, which further enhances the robustness and reliability of the entire connection system. When the DIP switch 11 is toggled, the copper terminals 8 will change position accordingly, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit.

[0035] The main positive terminal 2 on the three-core sheathed wire uses a different connection method than the negative circuit 10 and negative circuit 9. On the three-core sheathed wire, the main positive terminal 2 is crimped to the main positive terminal 2 of the two-core sheathed wire via a copper terminal 8 without flanges. This design is carefully considered to meet specific circuit connection requirements while ensuring connection stability and conductivity.

[0036] A snap-fit ​​5 and a slot 7 are provided at the bottom of the housing 14. One side of the connecting piece 6 is cleverly embedded in the snap-fit ​​5, while the other side is embedded in the slot 7. This snap-fit ​​and slot design allows the connecting piece 6 to be firmly fixed inside the housing 14, preventing the connecting piece 6 from loosening or shifting due to external force or vibration, thereby ensuring the long-term stability of the circuit connection.

[0037] As can be seen from the detailed description of the above embodiments, the DIP switch structure of this utility model has many advantages. First, in terms of structural design, by simplifying the number of components and optimizing the connection method between each component, the entire switch structure is more compact and stable, effectively reducing the risk of failure caused by structural complexity. Second, in terms of manufacturing cost, the simple design and ease of mass production of key components such as the connecting piece 6 significantly reduce production costs, which is of great significance for enhancing market competitiveness. In addition, in actual use, the DIP switch of this structure can provide a smoother toggle experience and reliable circuit control functions, meeting the requirements of modern electronic devices for high performance and high stability of DIP switches.

[0038] In summary, the DIP switch structure proposed in this utility model, through innovative design concepts and meticulous component layout, has achieved significant improvements in structural stability, manufacturing cost, and performance, and has broad application prospects and market potential.

[0039] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1 to 7 The DIP switch structure described in this embodiment mainly consists of a housing 14, a DIP switch 11, and a connecting piece 6. The housing 14 serves as the external frame of the entire switch, with its central portion designed as a hollow section. This design not only reduces the overall weight but, more importantly, provides space for the installation and movement of the DIP switch 11. Through a specific structural design, the DIP switch 11 can be stably inserted into the hollow section of the housing 14 and can move within it to achieve switching between different positions.

[0040] The material selection for the housing 14 was carefully considered, using high-strength plastic to ensure sufficient mechanical strength to withstand external impacts and vibrations during daily use, while also possessing excellent insulation properties to ensure safety during use. Its internal hollow section has precise dimensions that match the shape of the DIP switch 11, allowing the switch 11 to move flexibly after installation without becoming loose or wobbly.

[0041] To ensure that the DIP switch 11 can accurately position itself at each gear during movement, a positioning groove 12 is provided inside the hollow part of the housing 14. A protrusion 13 is specially designed on one side of the DIP switch 11. When the user moves the DIP switch 11, this protrusion 13 moves within the positioning groove 12. The shape and size of the positioning groove 12 match the protrusion 13, allowing the protrusion 13 to slide smoothly within it. Simultaneously, at each predetermined gear position, the structure of the positioning groove 12 provides a certain resistance to the protrusion 13, thereby achieving precise positioning of the DIP switch 11. This design effectively avoids the problem of the DIP switch 11 wobbling or inaccurate positioning during movement, improving the stability and service life of the switch.

[0042] The inner surface of the positioning groove 12 has undergone special treatment, resulting in high smoothness and reducing the friction of the convex 13 during sliding, making the movement of the dial switch 11 smoother. At the same time, the structural design of the positioning groove 12 at each gear position ensures that the convex 13 experiences a certain resistance when it reaches that position. This resistance is transmitted to the user through the dial switch 11, creating a clear gear feel and allowing the user to accurately switch to the desired gear.

[0043] The connecting piece 6 plays a crucial role in this embodiment, not only undertaking the task of circuit connection but also being closely related to the movement of the DIP switch 11. The left side of the connecting piece 6 is fixed to the two-core sheathed wire 3 by riveting. This connection method is robust and reliable, ensuring that loosening or poor contact will not occur during long-term use. The two-core sheathed wire 3 contains the main negative electrode 1 and the main positive electrode 2, which are the core conductive parts of the circuit. To further enhance the stability of the connection, a wire clip 4 is provided between the two-core sheathed wire 3 and the connecting piece 6. The wire clip 4 can firmly fix the two together, preventing the wires from loosening due to external force or vibration. A conductive path is formed between the connecting piece 6 and the main negative electrode 1, thereby realizing the current transmission function.

[0044] The connector 6 is made of a highly conductive material, ensuring efficiency and stability of current transmission. Its shape and size are precisely designed to fit perfectly with the two-core sheathed cable 3 and the cable clamp 4, guaranteeing reliable electrical connections without damaging the wiring or the connector itself due to over-tightening. The cable clamp 4 is also ingeniously designed; its elastic structure can adapt to certain temperature changes and mechanical vibrations, further enhancing the stability of the entire connection system.

[0045] On the other side of the housing 14, two flanged copper terminals 8 are installed, which are connected to negative circuit one 10 and negative circuit two 9, respectively. The flanged design of the copper terminals 8 not only increases the contact area between the copper terminals 8 and the circuit, improving conductivity, but also makes the copper terminals 8 more stable when in conjunction with the DIP switch 11. The two copper terminals 8 are fixed to the three-core sheathed wire with the wire clip 4 by riveting, which further enhances the robustness and reliability of the entire connection system. When the DIP switch 11 is toggled, the copper terminals 8 will change position accordingly, thereby controlling the on / off state of the circuit.

[0046] The flanged structure of copper terminal 8 is precision-machined to ensure accurate mating with the corresponding hole on DIP switch 11. When DIP switch 11 is toggled, the flanged part securely locks onto the top of DIP switch 11, preventing copper terminal 8 from falling off under vibration or external force. This design not only improves the reliability of the circuit connection but also extends the service life of the entire switch.

[0047] The main positive terminal 2 on the three-core sheathed wire uses a different connection method than the negative circuit 10 and negative circuit 9. On the three-core sheathed wire, the main positive terminal 2 is crimped to the main positive terminal 2 of the two-core sheathed wire via a copper terminal 8 without flanges. This design is carefully considered to meet specific circuit connection requirements while ensuring connection stability and conductivity.

[0048] When the flanged copper terminal 8 is connected to the connecting piece 6, a precise riveting process ensures a tight contact between the two. This connection method simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs while meeting electrical conductivity requirements. Furthermore, this design facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement; if a component malfunctions, it can be repaired or replaced relatively easily without damaging the entire switch structure.

[0049] To further enhance the stability of the entire DIP switch structure, a latch 5 and a slot 7 are provided at the bottom of the housing 14. One side of the connecting piece 6 is cleverly embedded in the latch 5, while the other side is embedded in the slot 7. This latch and slot design ensures that the connecting piece 6 is firmly fixed within the housing 14, preventing it from loosening or shifting due to external forces or vibrations, thus ensuring the long-term stability of the circuit connection.

[0050] The structural design of the clip 5 and slot 7 has been optimized multiple times to ensure that the connecting piece 6 can be easily inserted during installation and has sufficient firmness after installation. This design not only improves assembly efficiency in the production process but also enhances the overall reliability of the product. In actual use, even in harsh working environments such as high temperature, humidity, or dust, the tight fit between the clip and slot effectively prevents the connecting piece 6 from getting damp or dusty, thus ensuring the normal operation of the switch.

[0051] The DIP switch structure of this embodiment mainly consists of key components such as the housing 14, DIP switches 11, connecting piece 6, copper terminal 8, negative circuit one 10, negative circuit two 9, and main negative terminal 1. The housing 14, as the external frame of the entire switch, not only provides mechanical support but also, through its hollow internal design, creates space for the installation and movement of the DIP switches 11. As the part directly operated by the user, the rationality of the design of the DIP switches 11 directly affects the user experience and the accuracy of circuit control.

[0052] When DIP switch 11 is moved to the far right, copper terminal 8 on negative circuit 2 9 makes contact with connecting piece 6 and conducts, while copper terminal 8 on negative circuit 10 does not make contact with connecting piece 6. This circuit state is achieved by moving DIP switch 11, which causes a change in the position of copper terminal 8. Specifically, the flanged structure of copper terminal 8 allows it to accurately make contact with or separate from connecting piece 6 under the action of DIP switch 11. At this time, main negative terminal 1 is connected to negative circuit 2 9, and current can be transmitted through this path. In practical applications, this design can meet the individual control requirements of specific circuits for negative circuit 2 9, providing flexible circuit configuration options for electronic devices.

[0053] When DIP switch 11 is moved to the middle position, the copper terminals 8 on both negative circuit 2 (9) and negative circuit 10 (10) are in contact with the connecting piece 6 and are conductive. This means that the main negative terminal 1 simultaneously forms a conductive path with both negative circuit 10 (10) and negative circuit 2 (9). In this state, current can be transmitted through both negative circuits simultaneously, providing more complex circuit control functions for electronic devices. For example, in scenarios where multiple circuit modules need to be activated simultaneously, this design can effectively simplify circuit layout and improve system integration and reliability.

[0054] When DIP switch 11 is moved to the leftmost position, the copper terminal 8 on negative circuit 10 contacts and conducts with the connecting piece 6, while the copper terminal 8 on negative circuit 2 9 does not contact the connecting piece 6. At this time, the main negative terminal 1 is only connected to negative circuit 10. This circuit configuration, along with the rightmost position, creates a symmetrical control function, providing electronic devices with another circuit configuration option. In practical applications, this design can be used for individual control of negative circuit 10, meeting the needs of specific circuits in different operating modes.

[0055] The DIP switch structure described in this embodiment, through its rational design, achieves flexible control of negative circuit 10 and negative circuit 9 at different positions. This flexible circuit control capability not only improves the adaptability and functionality of electronic equipment but also provides greater freedom for circuit design. Furthermore, the stability and reliability of this structure are significantly enhanced. The contact between the copper terminal 8 and the connecting piece 6 employs a robust connection method, ensuring that no poor contact or loosening issues will occur during long-term use. Simultaneously, the number and complexity of the components in the entire switch structure are effectively controlled, reducing manufacturing costs and improving market competitiveness.

[0056] For those skilled in the art, the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
