DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] 1 to 6 , a preferred embodiment of an electronic switch provided by the present application is shown. As shown in FIG1 , the electronic switch includes a display screen 100, a pressing plate 200, a pressing plate 300, a control panel 400, a support panel 500, a bracket 600, a power panel 700, and a switch box 800. As shown in FIG4 , the pressing plate 300 and the support panel 500 are connected to form a receiving space 35, and the control panel 400 is disposed in the receiving space 35. As shown in FIG2 , 3 , and 4 , the pressing plate 300 is provided with a hinge shaft 310 and a pressing hole 320 located radially on the side of the hinge shaft 310. The control panel 400 is provided with switch buttons 410. Each switch button 410 corresponds to a switch module for turning the switch module on and off. The switch buttons 410 are exposed in the pressing holes 320 and can be operated through the pressing holes 320. The pressing plate 200 includes a pressing body 210 and a clamping portion 220 extending outward from the surface of the pressing body 210. The clamping portion 220 includes a first clamp 221 and a second clamp 222 arranged relatively spaced apart. Long grooves 223 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222. The clamping portion 220 is hinged to the hinge shaft 310. The hinge shaft 310 is clamped into the long grooves 223 of the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222 and can rotate and slide in the long grooves 223, so that the pressing body 210 can drive the switch button 410 under the action of external force.

[0029] When the push plate 200 is operated, two relative motions, rotation and sliding, occur between the push plate 200 and the hinge shaft 310 , thereby improving the operating performance of the electronic switch.

[0030] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4, a pressing hole 320 is provided on both radial sides of the hinge shaft 310. Each pressing hole 320 exposes a switch button 410. The clamping portion 220 is located in the middle of the pressing body 210. When the pressing plate 200 is installed on the hinge shaft 310, the two ends of the pressing body 210 are used to operate a switch button 410 respectively. When one end of the pressing body 210 is operated to sink, the pressing body 210 rotates around the hinge shaft 310, and the other end of the pressing body 210 rises. At this time, since the pressing body 210 as a whole slides along the long groove 223, the pressing body 210 as a whole sinks. To prevent the switch button 410 located at the other end of the pressing body 210 from being accidentally triggered, the distance the pressing body 210 sinks along the long groove 223 is less than the distance the other end of the pressing body 210 rises due to rotation. During use, the pressing body 210 of the pressing plate 200 has a small tilting amplitude, good flatness, and good operating performance.

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pressing plate 300 is provided with an elastic portion 330, which is provided around the pressing hole 320 to reset the pressing plate 200. A reset spring is provided around the pressing hole 320 as the elastic portion 330. When the pressing plate 200 is operated, one end of the pressing body 210 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic portion 330 under the action of an external force, and the downward stroke of the pressing body 210 touches the switch button 410. At the same time, due to the elastic force of the elastic portion 330, the downward stroke of the other end of the pressing body 210 is limited, and the other end of the pressing body 210 will not touch the corresponding switch button 410, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the operation.

[0032] As shown in Figure 5, the pressing body 210 is provided with a first hollow groove 211, and the first hollow groove 211 is provided around the connection position between the pressing body 210 and the clamping part 220. By providing the first hollow groove 211, the part where the pressing body 210 and the clamping part 220 are connected has better elastic deformation performance. When the clamping part 220 is assembled to the hinge shaft 310, the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222 have better deformation ability, which reduces the difficulty of assembly and reduces the risk of stress concentration.

[0033] The pressing body 210 is provided with a second hollow groove 212 , which is provided between the pressing body 210 and the connection position between the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222 , thereby further increasing the deformation capacity of the first clamp 221 and the second clamp 222 .

[0034] As shown in Figure 1, the pressing plate 200 further includes a decorative plate 230, which is connected to the side of the pressing body 210 not provided with the clamping portion 220. In this embodiment, the decorative plate 230 is a glass plate, which serves a decorative purpose and may have some graphics or patterns engraved on it.

[0035] As shown in FIG2 , the pressing plate 300 is provided with a display through hole 340 , the display screen 100 is installed in the display through hole 340 , the control board 400 is provided with a display module 420 , and the display screen 100 is communicatively connected with the display module 420 of the control board 400 for displaying the control mode of the switch.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2 , the control board 400 further includes a proximity sensor 430 . The proximity sensor 430 is configured to receive a proximity signal and transmit the proximity signal to the control board 400 . The control board 400 generates a control signal to turn on the display screen 100 .

[0037] Furthermore, the control panel 400 is also provided with an antenna 440 , which can receive wireless signals or transmit wireless signals.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 , the switch box 800 is a box body with an opening at the top. The power board 700 is installed in the switch box 800, and the support plate 500 is installed at the opening of the switch box 800. The power board 700 is electrically connected to the control board 400 and provides power to the control board 400. The opening of the switch box 800 is provided with a box cover 810, which is provided with a power through hole 811. The power board 700 is electrically connected to the control board 400 through the power through hole 811.

[0039] As shown in FIG1 , the bracket 600 is used for installation on a building. The bracket 600 is provided with a bracket hole 610. One side of the bracket 600 is connected to the switch box 800, and the other side of the bracket 600 is connected to the support plate 500. The support plate 500 and the switch box 800 are connected through the bracket hole 610. The bracket 600 is preferably an iron bracket plate for fixed installation on a building or attachment. The support plate 500 and the switch box 800 are connected to the bracket 600 by screws.

[0040] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application have better practicability and do not impose any form of limitation on the present application. Any technician familiar with the field may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent effective embodiment. However, any modifications or equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
