Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical switches, and specifically relates to a push-button switch device. Background Technology

[0002] Push-button switches, as a basic electrical control component, are widely used in various electrical panels and control cabinets. Their typical structure usually includes a user operating section (button unit, such as a button cap) on the front of the panel, an electrical actuator (switch unit) on the rear of the panel, and a connector connecting the two parts. During installation, the button unit passes through mounting holes on the panel and is mated and fixed to the switch unit on the back of the panel via the connector.

[0003] Currently, most push-button switch devices use a fixed connection design. That is, the connector and the button unit, and the connector and the switch unit are rigidly connected by screws, rigid clips, or other means. This design means that once assembled, the button unit, connector, and switch unit form a rigid whole, and their relative spatial positions and angles are permanently fixed, making it impossible to make any adjustments or fine-tuning after installation.

[0004] This fixed connection design reveals significant limitations in actual dense installation and use: when multiple push-button switches are installed side by side, due to the compact installation space on the panel, the switch units of adjacent switches are prone to angular misalignment or mechanical interference in the narrow space behind the panel due to their fixed orientation. At this time, since the angle of the switch unit is fixed and cannot be rotated, its wiring terminals may face an unfavorable direction for operation, making the operating space for construction personnel extremely cramped when connecting wires, making it difficult to use tools, making wiring work difficult, greatly reducing installation efficiency, and affecting the convenience and flexibility of construction. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to this, the present invention provides a push-button switch device that can break the constraint of the rigid connection between the button unit and the switch unit, allowing the switch unit to rotate relative to the button unit after installation, thereby avoiding interference during wiring operations and improving the flexibility of installation and use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a push-button switch device, including a button unit, a switch unit, and a connector; the button unit and the switch unit are connected by the connector; an annular groove is provided around the lower outer peripheral wall of the button unit, the connector is sleeved on the button unit, and a locking block is provided thereon to engage with the annular groove, the locking block engaging with the annular groove so that the connector is rotatably mounted on the button unit.

[0008] Preferably, the connector is provided with an elastic plate, and the locking block is disposed on the elastic plate.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic plate has a pry opening on its outer side.

[0010] Preferably, the connector is provided with a locking slot, and the switch unit is provided with a locking device that engages with the locking slot.

[0011] Preferably, the connector has a screw connection hole on its side wall, which is used to install a locking screw. After the locking screw is tightened, it abuts against the side wall of the button unit.

[0012] Preferably, the switch unit is fixedly connected to the connector by fixing screws.

[0013] Preferably, the connector has a screw hole, the switch unit has a screw through hole, and the fixing screw passes through the screw through hole and engages with the screw hole.

[0014] Preferably, the connector is provided with a metal insert, and the screw hole is located on the metal insert.

[0015] The positive effects of this utility model are as follows: The utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the interlocking of the annular groove and the locking block, the connector (and the switch unit connected to it) can rotate 360 ​​degrees relative to the button unit. This allows for flexible adjustment of the angle and orientation of the switch unit according to the actual space conditions in a compact installation environment behind the panel. This effectively avoids structural interference between adjacent switch units due to fixed orientation, provides better orientation and more ample operating space for wiring operations, significantly improves the convenience and flexibility of installation and construction, and overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional fixed structures in high-density installation scenarios.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0025] The push-button switch device structure in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a button unit 1, a switch unit 2, and a connector 3; the button unit 1 and the switch unit 2 are connected by the connector 3. In the installed state, the user presses the operating part of the button unit 1, which moves downward under the pressure. The downward movement of the button unit 1 transmits the force to the triggering part of the switch unit 2 through its internal structure (such as a push rod) to control the switch unit 2 to switch the state.

[0026] A groove 11 is provided around the lower outer peripheral wall of the button unit 1. The connector 3 is sleeved on the button unit 1 and has a locking block 31 that engages with the groove 11. The locking block 31 engages with the groove 11 to allow the connector 3 to be rotatably mounted on the button unit 1. In this embodiment, the engagement of the groove 11 and the locking block 31 allows the connector 3 (and the switch unit 2 connected to it) to rotate 360 ​​degrees relative to the button unit 1. This allows for flexible adjustment of the angle and orientation of the switch unit in a compact installation environment behind the panel, effectively avoiding structural interference between adjacent switch units due to fixed orientation. This provides better orientation and more ample operating space for wiring operations, significantly improving the convenience and flexibility of installation and construction, and overcoming the inherent limitations of traditional fixed structures in high-density installation scenarios.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The connector 3 is provided with an elastic plate 32, and the locking block 31 is provided on the elastic plate 32. The elastic plate 32 is provided so that the locking block 31 has the ability to move radially elastically. This design realizes the quick snap-fit ​​assembly between the connector 3 and the button unit 1. During assembly, the connector 3 is put on the button unit 1, the elastic plate 32 is deformed under pressure and then reset, and the locking block 31 can automatically snap into the annular groove 11. The assembly process is simple and efficient.

[0028] In some embodiments, the elastic plate 32 is provided with a pry opening 33 on the outside. The design of the pry opening 33 provides significant ease of disassembly. When maintenance or replacement is required, a tool (such as a screwdriver) can be inserted into the pry opening 33 to easily pry the elastic plate 32 outward, thereby disengaging the locking block 31 from the annular groove 11 and achieving non-destructive disassembly. This structure solves the problem that quick-clamping structures are usually difficult to disassemble and improves the maintainability of the product.

[0029] In some embodiments, the connector 3 is provided with a locking position 34, and the switch unit 2 is provided with a locking member 21 that engages with the locking position 34. Through the cooperation of the locking position 34 and the locking member 21, rapid assembly can be achieved, effectively simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. The locking position 34 can be a locking platform or a locking slot. Correspondingly, the locking member 21 can be integrally mounted on the switch unit 2 or movably mounted on the switch unit 2.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 3 has a screw connection hole 35 on its side wall. The screw connection hole 35 is used to install a locking screw. After the locking screw is tightened, it abuts against the side wall of the button unit 1. This design provides a locking function after angle adjustment. When the switch unit 2 is rotated to the optimal angle, the locking screw can be tightened so that its end abuts tightly against the side wall of the button unit 1, which can effectively prevent the connector 3 from rotating accidentally, thereby firmly locking the switch unit 2 at the required angle and ensuring the stability and reliability of the product in long-term use.

[0031] In another embodiment, the switch unit 2 is fixedly connected to the connector 3 by a fixing screw. This design provides another highly reliable and secure connection between the connector 3 and the switch unit 2. For example, the connector 3 has a screw hole 36, and the switch unit 2 has a screw through hole. The fixing screw passes through the screw through hole and engages with the screw hole 36, thereby fixing the switch unit 2 and the connector 3 together.

[0032] See Figure 5As shown, a metal insert 37 is embedded in the connector 3, and the screw hole 36 is located on the metal insert 37. When the connector 3 is made of plastic, it is easy to strip the thread by directly making a threaded hole on it. Embedding a stronger metal insert 37 and setting the screw hole 36 on the metal insert 37 can effectively enhance the strength, wear resistance and torsional resistance of the threaded hole, thereby extending the service life of the entire connector 3.

[0033] For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this invention still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
