Button 190 comprises wall portion 191, and it is called closure wall, and this wall has sealed the open front of shell 110.The front surface 191A of this closure wall 191 is press surfaces that the user points.Here, closure wall 191 has rectangular profile, but according to other modification that do not show, it is contemplated that rectangular, circular, square or other all the suitable shapes of this closure wall.
Button 190 shown in Figure 2 comprises two pairs of side plates 192 two ends, and they are generally perpendicular to the rear surface 191B of the closure wall 191 of button 190 and extend in the direction of shell 110 bottoms.Each side plate 192 has hook 192A at its free end.When button 190 moved into the shell 110 of electric switching 100, the side plate that is provided with hook 192A 192 that embeds in the shell 110 can come limit button 110 withdrawing from respect to shell 110 by being hooked on by hook 192A under the edge 115 of this shell open front.
In addition, button 190 comprises a pair of guiding wall 193 in opposite directions on each longitudinal edge of its closure wall 191.These guiding walls 193 begin to extend from the rear surface 191B of vertical with it closure wall 191 (see figure 7)s.
Electric switching 100 comprises swing component 160, and this swing component is installed into can be with respect to button 190 and rotate and be suitable for acting on driving member 150 by swing.
Swing component 160 is in response to putting on pressing action and acting on driving member 150 of button 190 along the Z axle, thereby causes driving member 150 alternatively swinging in a direction of Y-axis both sides or another direction.For this reason, as shown in the example of Fig. 2 and 6, it comprises two side plates 163,162 in its side, and each side plate cooperates with hook 152B, the 153B of driving member 150 respectively.
In practice, the side plate 162,163 of swing component 160 slightly to extending, along with separating gradually each other near driving member 150 (see figure 6)s with inclining towards each other.
These side plates 162,163 comprise leading edge 162A, 163A at its free end, and this leading edge is suitable for alternately cooperating with hook 152B and the 153B of driving member 150, as hereinafter will describing in detail.
The action of 160 pairs of driving members 150 of swing component is alternately hung realization by hook 152B, the 153B of leading edge 162A, 163A and driving member 150.
In order to carry out this cooperation, a repeater is set in the shell 110 of electric switching 100, between button 190 and swing component 160.This repeater comprise drive unit 180 usefulness so that swing component 160 along with button 190 is mobile together.
Preferably, shown in Fig. 1 to 7, described drive unit is only formed by single member, and it is made with insulating material and its part is inserted between button 190 and the swing component 160 to work between these two members.
The upper surface 180A that constitutes the single member of drive unit 180 always is close to the rear surface 191B (see figure 7) of the closure wall 191 of button 190.
Drive unit 180 comprises with respect to button 190 and the tumbler 187 of the swing component 160 that rotates that this tumbler is suitable for limiting swing component 160 with respect to the centering position of button 190 when static.
Advantageously, described tumbler 187 is fitting apparatus.It comprises two parallel ribs 187A that outer surface is rounded.Among these ribs 187A embedded groove 164A, this groove has complementary circular contour and is arranged on the bottom of opening wide and be located at the groove 164 on swing component 160 summits forward.
As will be described in further detail below like that, when swing component 160 alternately hooks the hook 152B of driving member 150, during 153B, swing component 160 in the rib 187A of drive unit 180 or another rotate.
According to the embodiments of the invention shown in Fig. 1 to 7, drive unit 180 comprises the convergent-divergent mobile system, and this system is adapted so that swing component 160 carries out translational motion in the resting position of button 190 with depressed position.Strictly speaking, the motion of the swing component 160 that the convergent-divergent mobile system causes is to rotatablely move, but because the angle of the arc drawn out of this swing component is very little radius of curvature more greatly, so it shows as translational motion.
Clearly illustrate more that as Fig. 2,5 and 6 described convergent-divergent mobile system comprises the column 181,182 of two pairs of parallel vertical, the translation shaft Z of they and swing component 160 extends abreast; With parallel linking arm 185,186, they laterally extend 182 to another from a pair of vertical pillars 181.Each linking arm 185,186 has by hinge 185A, 186A and is connected to vertical pillars 181,182 end.Vertical pillars to 181,182 and linking arm 185,186 comprising the Z axle and forming the parallelogram that is out of shape with the perpendicular vertical plane of the horizontal plane that constitutes of axle X, Y that is perpendicular to one another by two.
Be embedded in the groove 181A that (sees Fig. 2 and 5) on the rib of being located on shell 110 side wall inner surfaces 116 this several vacant lot in one side on the outer surface of shell 110 sidewalls of each a pair of vertical pillars 181 in the vertical pillars is comprised, comprises the tooth 181B that (sees Fig. 2 and 5) in the perforate 113 that is anchored on shell 110 respective side walls on the other hand projectedly.So each vertical pillars 181 is assembled into and is fixed in the shell 110.
Another each vertical pillars 182 to vertical pillars is assembled into can be in shell 110 inside along the translation of Z axle.Each vertical pillars 182 is comprising the tooth 182A that (sees Fig. 2,5 and 7) in the slotted hole 112 that is embedded in shell 110 respective side walls projectedly on the outer surface of shell 110 sidewalls.When translation took place vertical pillars 182, tooth 182A slided to guide the motion of described column in slotted hole 112.In addition, they limit the stroke of vertical pillars 182 in the shell Way out by the high end margin that withstands slotted hole 112, and thereby limit the stroke of described convergent-divergent mobile system.The inner facility that the free end of vertical pillars 182 withstands shell 110 with limit button following by.
In addition, the single member of formation drive unit 180 comprises two pairs of parallel walls portions 183 that lean against removable vertical pillars 182.
Each right wall portion 183 limits a groove each other, and this groove holds in the guiding wall 193 of button 190.
In addition, right for each, be positioned at this to the wall portion 183 of outside facing to the position of the sidewall of shell 110, comprise that recess 183A, this recess hold another guiding wall 193 (seeing Fig. 2 and 5) of button 190 on its outer surface.
Like this, always be supported on button 190 on the described single member that constitutes drive unit 180 and make the mobile integration of drive unit 180.
As will be described in further detail below such, following 180 translations of motion driver, the panntographic system generation strain simultaneously of pressing of button 190.The drive unit 180 that cooperates with swing component 160 by tumbler 187 drives and guides its translation in the direction of driving member 150.In addition, the drive unit 180 that is promoted to rise by swing component 160 causes button 190 to rise until its initial resting position from its following opsition dependent.
Advantageously, swing component 160 is remained on (see figure 5) in the shell 110 by two inwalls 183 being located at swing component 160 both sides of two pairs of wall portion 183 inside of drive unit 180 by side direction.
In addition, electric switching 100 comprises resilient mounting, and its tensioning always is so that button 190 is in resting position.It also comprises the swing elastic device, and it acts on the driving member 150 and can make in these driving member 150 its settling positions of trend one or another in response to the action of 160 pairs of these driving members of swing component and then lean on elastic force that it is remained on this position after crossing over hard spot.
Advantageously, according to a principal character of electric switching 100, described resilient mounting and described elastics wing device are made of the unique spring 170 that is compressed between swing component 160 and the swing driving member 150.
Clearly illustrate more that as Fig. 6 and 7 spring 170 is the compression springs that are inserted between swing component 160 and the driving member 150.On the one hand, it is supported on the driving member 150 on tooth 151B, the 151D with the middle sword 151 that is embedded in driving member 150, on the other hand, it be supported on by swing component 160 on the puncherless bottom of the inner cut-out 161 that forms between its side plate 162,163 to be embedded on the centering cardiac prominence 165 on the bottom that is arranged on cut-out 161 for this reason.
Spring 170 preferably has the rigidity that for example approximates 2.6 Newton/millimeter.So, suppose each fixed contact therefor 131,141 and each movable contact 154,155 between contact force be about 0.1 newton, then spring 170 can produce the compression stress that can develop to driving member 150, maximum can reach 16 newton when this compression stress reached balance point between two settling position at this driving member, thereby made the compression stress that puts on the button 190 be about 19 newton.Advantageously, spring 170 always makes swing component 160 trend buttons 190 directions.
Spring 170 itself has been guaranteed three different functions.
It guarantees that drive unit 180 rises to resting position from following opsition dependent.In fact, it always pushes swing component 160 to the direction of button 190, and this swing component directly acts on drive unit 180 via tumbler 187.So when following on this swing component 160 disappeared by power, it rose under the rebound effect of spring 170 and promotes drive unit 180, this thereby button 190 is risen again.
It guarantees that driving member 150 is at the effect lower swing of swing component 160.In fact, in response to the action of this swing component to driving member 150, spring 170 orders about driving member 150 and turns to one or another settling position and hold it in this position by elastic force then after overcoming hard spot.
In this, be noted that button 190 following by process in, the power that spring 170 acts on the driving member 150 increases, and reaches its maximum until the balance point at driving member 170 midstroke between two settling position.This advantageously makes the moment of the closing of circuit that driving member 170 can be between movable contact and fixed contact therefor produce maximum speed value.So movable contact promptly is close on the fixed contact therefor, thereby avoid the harmful rebound phenomenon of electric switching normal operation.
At last, it combines with tumbler 187 and guarantees that by always applying towards the pressure of button 190 directions at described swing component swing component 160 is with respect to location and the centering of button 190.
Advantageously, in electric switching 100, any other resilience or pendulous device are not set except spring 170.This thus reduced the part number of electric switching, thereby dwindle its volume and reduce its manufacturing cost.
In addition, the vantage point of the spring 170 rotation groove 121 that allows spring 170, each fixed contact therefor 131,141, swing component 160 to be hooked on hook position 152B, 153B on the driving member and driving member 150 is arranged on (see figure 5) on the same plane.This symmetric arrangement is particularly advantageous, because it can dwindle the volume of change over switch mechanism.
Fig. 8 to 10 shows top variant embodiment referring to figs. 1 through 7 electric switchings of describing 100.
Electric switching 100 with above-mentioned identical, therefore here be not described in detail, and only describe the feature that is different from the latter in detail basically.
The electric switching here is commonly referred to that " " pressing following formula " button is because its button 190 ' be assembled into and can rotate with respect to shell 110.
For this reason, button 190 ' two parallel columns 194 of closure wall 191 ' have in one of its end ', these two columns from closure wall 191 ' the rear surface vertically extend with it.Each column 194 ' have in outside fulcrum 194 ' A, this fulcrum rotatably embed among the pillow block 188A defined in the swinging mounting 188, and this swinging mounting is fixedly mounted in the shell 110.
Here, more clearly illustrate as Fig. 9 and 10, limit button 190 ' the swinging mounting 188 of rotating shaft be the single member that constitutes drive unit 180.Particularly, it constitutes each vertical fixing column 181 of convergent-divergent mobile system in the extension in button 190 ' direction.
