The rocker 300 is inserted into the swing bracket 200, and the rocker 300 can slide in a reciprocating manner in a set range along the extension direction of the Z axis, and can be pressed and released to control the on and off of the central trigger switch 410 arranged in the Z axis direction. Meanwhile, the rocker 300 inserted into the swing bracket 200 can drive the swing bracket 200 to swing in any direction on the X-Y plane.

As shown in fig. 2, 6 and 8, the swing bracket 200 may include a second bracket 210 and a third bracket 220. The second bracket 210 is sleeved on the first bracket 110 and extends into the first cavity 111 of the housing 100, the second bracket 210 rotates around the X axis in a reciprocating manner within a set range, the third bracket 220 is sleeved in the second cavity 211 of the second bracket 210, and the third bracket 220 rotates around the Y axis in a reciprocating manner within a set range, wherein a touch pad 223 is arranged at the bottom of the third bracket 220, and when the third bracket 220 is sleeved on the second bracket 210, the touch pad 223 extends into the second cavity 211.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 6, for convenience of description, three mutually perpendicular directions of the rocker switch structure are respectively referred to as an X axis, a Y axis and a Z axis. The third bracket 220 is provided with a first boss 222 on the side wall oppositely arranged along the Y direction, the second bracket 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 213 matched with the second bracket in the position corresponding to the first boss 222, the third bracket 220 is embedded into the second cavity 211 of the second bracket 210 and is installed in a matching manner through the first boss 222 and the first mounting hole 213 to realize the rotatable connection between the third bracket 220 and the second bracket 210. Preferably, the first boss 222 is a cylindrical boss, and the first mounting hole 213 is a circular hole matching with the outer diameter of the boss. The second boss 212 is disposed on the sidewall of the second bracket 210 opposite to the second boss 212 along the X direction, the second mounting hole 112 matched with the first bracket 110 is disposed on the position of the first bracket 110 corresponding to the second boss 212, and the second bracket 210 is embedded into the first cavity 111 of the first bracket 110 and is installed in cooperation with the second mounting hole 112 through the second boss 212 to realize the rotatable connection between the second bracket 210 and the first bracket 110. Preferably, the second boss 212 is a cylindrical boss, and the second mounting hole 112 is a circular hole matching with the outer diameter of the boss.

Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 8, in the above-mentioned swing bracket 200, a central connection line between the second bosses 212 arranged opposite to each other and a central connection line between the first bosses 222 arranged opposite to each other are perpendicular to each other and are located on the same horizontal plane, so that the third bracket 220 and the second bracket 210 are nested inside and outside the first cavity 111 of the housing 100 to form a gimbal kinematic pair, and the rocker 300 can drive the gimbal kinematic pair to swing in any direction in the X-Y plane. The arrangement mode can effectively ensure that the pressing stroke of the trigger switch 400 when the swing bracket 200 operates along the X-axis direction is consistent with the pressing stroke of the trigger switch 400 when the swing bracket operates along the Y-axis direction, thereby ensuring the consistency of the operation hand feeling when the rocker 300 triggers the switches 400 at different positions.

In addition, the shapes of the first support 110, the second support 210 and the third support 220 are not limited in the present invention, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the shapes of the first support 110, the second support 210 and the third support 220 are rectangular, and in other embodiments, the shapes may be other shapes, and the rectangular shape is provided because the control is easy in the X direction and the Y direction, and the operation damping in other directions is large, so the rectangular structure has a mechanism for preventing accidental touch, and two adjacent switches are not easy to be triggered simultaneously.

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the rocker 300 is disposed in the third bracket 220, the button 310 is disposed on the top of the rocker 300, and the bottom of the rocker 300 is inserted into the third cavity 221 of the third bracket 220 along with the rod and extends to a position in the casing 100 where the central trigger switch 410 can be triggered. In the third cavity 221, the central axis of the rocker 300 coincides with the intersection point of the central connecting lines of the first boss 222 and the second boss 212. The outer diameter of the rocker 300 is matched with the diameter of the third cavity 221, preferably, the rod body of the rocker 300 is in a cross structure, and in the third cavity 211, two side edges of the cross rod body of the rocker 300 are respectively overlapped with the central connecting line of the first boss 222 and the central connecting line of the second boss 212 and are closely matched with the third cavity 221. In an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the rocker 300 may be a spherical surface, and the center of the spherical surface is located on the central axis of the rocker 300 together with the intersection point of the central connection lines of the first boss 222 and the second boss 212, so as to ensure that the rocker 300 does not slide along the Z-axis direction when the swing bracket 200 is driven to swing in the housing 300 to trigger the four outer layer trigger switches 420, so that the center trigger switch 410 is triggered by mistake to turn on or off, which causes the center trigger switch 410 to vibrate and make an abnormal sound, thereby preventing the fatigue life of the center trigger switch 410 from being reduced by mistake.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, in an embodiment of the invention, a buckle 320 protruding out of an outer wall of the rocker 300 is disposed on a rod body of the rocker 300, a slot 224 matched with the buckle 320 is disposed on a side wall of the third bracket 220, and a dimension of the slot 224 in the Z-axis extending direction is greater than a dimension of the buckle 320 in the Z-axis extending direction. The rocker 300 penetrates through the third cavity 221 and is clamped on the clamping groove 224 through the clamp 320, and since the dimension of the clamping groove 224 in the Z-axis extending direction is larger than that of the clamp 320, the rocker 300 can slide in the clamping groove 224 in a reciprocating manner along the Z-axis extending direction, and the sliding displacement is the dimension of the clamping groove 224 in the Z-axis extending direction.

As shown in fig. 3 and 7, the switch 400 is disposed on a side of the housing 100 facing away from the first bracket 110, the central trigger switch 410 and the four outer trigger switches 420 of the switch 400 are compactly arranged in a matrix on a circuit board 710 of the base 700, and the base 700 is detachably attached to the housing 100, for example, by a snap-fit connection. The four outer layer trigger switches 420 are arranged in a cross shape around the central trigger switch 410 along the X-axis or Y-axis direction, and are respectively located in A, B, C, D four directions (A, B is located on the X-axis, C, D is located on the Y-axis). The type of the switch 400 is not limited, and the switch 400 may be a micro switch, an electric rubber switch, or another type of switch.

As shown in fig. 3 and 6, the rocker switch structure can control the opening and closing of the switch 400 in the X-Y plane A, B, C, D and in five directions of the Z-axis extending direction by manipulating the rocker 300 with a finger. When a finger operates the rocker 300 to enable the rocker to swing along the direction A or B on the X axis, the rocker 300 drives the third bracket 220 to swing around the axis of the first boss 222 on the outer side of the third bracket, the touch pad 223 at the bottom of the third bracket 220 applies pressure to the outer layer trigger switch 420 on the base 700 in the direction A or B correspondingly to enable the outer layer trigger switch to be triggered, and when the external force is removed, the rocker 300 and the swing bracket 200 automatically reset under the action of the elastic force of the triggered outer layer trigger switch 420; when a finger operates the rocker 300 to make the rocker swing along the direction C or D on the Y axis, the rocker 300 drives the third bracket 220 and the second bracket 210 to swing around the axis of the second boss 212 on the second bracket 210, the touch pad 223 at the bottom of the third bracket 220 applies pressure to the outer layer trigger switch 420 on the corresponding direction C or D of the base 700 to trigger the outer layer trigger switch, and when the external force is removed, the rocker 300 and the swing bracket 200 automatically reset under the action of the elastic force of the triggered outer layer trigger switch 420; when the finger operates the rocker 300 to slide along the extending direction of the Z axis, the rocker 300 can slide along the third cavity 221 to one side of the central trigger switch 410, when the rocker 300 slides to the set position, the bottom of the rocker 300 applies pressure to the central trigger switch 410 to trigger the central trigger switch, and when the external force is removed, the rocker 300 automatically resets under the elastic force of the central trigger switch 410.

In the housing 100, the contact pad 223 and the rocker 300 may apply pressure to the corresponding outer layer trigger switch 420 and the center trigger switch 410 to trigger the outer layer trigger switch and the center trigger switch by direct contact or indirect contact, and the contact surface between the contact pad 223 and the rocker 300 and the switch 400, which conducts pressure, may be in direct contact or indirect contact by way of plane and spherical contact.

For example, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, the contact pad 223 and the rocker 300 are indirectly contacted with the switch 400 through five guide posts 500. The five guide posts 500 are respectively arranged on the central trigger switch 410 and the four outer trigger switches 420, the bottoms of the guide posts 500 are arranged on the corresponding switches 400, and the tops of the guide posts 500 are arranged to be spherical surfaces and can penetrate through the fixing holes 610 on the guide post bracket 600 along the Z-axis direction and extend to positions capable of contacting with the contact pads 223 or the rocker 300. The guide post holder 600 is mounted in a stepped groove formed at a side of the housing 100 close to the switch 400, and a plurality of fixing holes 610 of the guide post holder 600 are respectively formed at positions corresponding to the switch 400 of the base 700, so that the plurality of guide posts 600 can slide in the fixing holes 610 along the Z-axis when conducting pressure, and the relative positions of the plurality of guide posts 600 are not changed. Meanwhile, the contact positions of the contact pads 223 and the rockers 300 with the guide posts 500 are set to be flat, when the rockers 300 press down or drive the swing brackets 200 in the third cavity 221 in the Z-axis direction to swing in the housing 100 in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction, the flat surfaces of the bottoms of the rockers 300 or the contact pads 223 contact the spherical surfaces of the tops of the guide posts 600 at corresponding positions, and transmit pressure to the switches 400 at the bottoms of the guide posts 600 by pressing the guide posts 600, thereby triggering the switches 400 at corresponding swing directions.

As shown in fig. 9 to 11, in another embodiment of the present invention, the touch pad 223 and the rocker 300 trigger the switch 400 by direct contact. The trigger surface of the switch 400 is a surface facing the inside of the housing 100 along the Z-axis, and the trigger surface of the switch 400 is a flat surface.

As shown in fig. 12 to 14, in another embodiment of the present invention, the touch pad 223 and the rocker 300 trigger the switch 400 by direct contact. The trigger surface of the center trigger switch 400 is a surface facing the inside of the housing 100 along the Z-axis, and the trigger surface of the center trigger switch 400 is a plane. The triggering surfaces of the four outer layer triggering switches 420 in the switch 400 are arranged on the surface of the corresponding outer layer triggering switch 420 facing the center triggering switch 410, and the triggering surfaces of the outer layer triggering switches 420 are arranged to be flat.
