Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a switching device in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the switching device 1 includes: a housing 11, functional components (not shown in the figures) and a switch panel 12. The switch panel 12 is assembled and matched with the housing 11 to form an assembly space 13, and the functional components are installed in the assembly space 13 and matched with the switch buttons 123 of the switch panel 12. The switch panel 12 includes a hinge portion 121 and a buckling portion 122, a first matching portion 111 and a second matching portion 112 are disposed at corresponding positions of the housing 11, the hinge portion 121 is hinged to the first matching portion 111, and the buckling portion 122 is snap-fitted to the second matching portion 112.

By providing the hinge portion 121 and the engaging portion 122 for the switch panel 12 of the switch device 1, the hinge portion 121 and the first engaging portion 111 of the housing 11 are always in hinge engagement, and the opening and closing of the switch panel 12 is realized by operating the opening and closing relationship between the engaging portion 122 and the second engaging portion 112 of the housing 11. The functional components of the switch device 1 are installed in the assembly space 13 enclosed by the switch panel 12 and the housing 11, so that the assembly manner of the switch panel 12 and the housing 11 improves the maintenance and replacement convenience of the functional components and the reliability of the overall structure and the user experience of the switch device 1.

In the above embodiments, the arrangement of the hinge portion 121 and the engaging portion 122 has various implementations, and the structure of the switch device 1 is described below by way of example with respect to the arrangement of the hinge portion 121 and the engaging portion 122:

in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the hinge portion 121 and the buckling portion 122 are disposed at two opposite sides of the switch panel 12. For example, the switch panel 12 includes four sides: a first side edge 125, a second side edge 126 opposite the first side edge 125, a third side edge 127 adjacent the first side edge 125, and a fourth side edge 128. The hinge portion 121 is disposed at the first side 125 and the fastening portion 122 is disposed at the second side 126. When the engaging portion 122 and the second engaging portion 112 are separated, the switch panel 12 can be in a flat-open state by rotating the switch panel 12 by the hinge relationship between the hinge portion 121 and the first engaging portion 111; similarly, as shown in fig. 3, the switch panel 12 is rotated to make the buckling portion 122 snap-fit with the second fitting portion 112, so that the switch panel 12 is in a closed state, and the switch panel 12 in the closed state is consistent with the appearance of the wall. The above structure increases the distance between the buckling part 122 and the hinge part 121, and improves the closing effect and the structural reliability under the condition that the switch panel 12 is closed.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the hinge portion 121 is disposed at either side of the switch panel 12, and the buckling portion 122 is disposed at either side adjacent to the side where the hinge portion 121 is disposed. For example, the switch panel 12 includes four sides: a first side edge 125, a second side edge 126 opposite the first side edge 125, a third side edge 127 adjacent the first side edge 125, and a fourth side edge 128. The hinge portion 121 is disposed at the first side 125, the fastening portion 122 can be disposed at the third side 127 or the fourth side 128, and the fastening portion 122 at the third side 127 or the fourth side 128 can be pressed to open and close the fastening portion 122 and the second mating portion 112. The force application position of the structure is convenient for the hand operation of a user, and the operation convenience is further improved.

In another embodiment, the hinge portion 121 is disposed at the upper side (i.e., the third side 127) of the switch panel 12, and the fastening portion 122 is disposed at the lower side (i.e., the fourth side 128) opposite to the side where the hinge portion 121 is disposed, so that the fastening portion 122 at the fourth side 128 can be pressed to open the fastening portion 122 and the second mating portion 112 upwards; alternatively, the hinge portion 121 is disposed at a lower side (i.e., the fourth side 128) of the switch panel 12, and the fastening portion 122 is disposed at an upper side (i.e., the third side 127) opposite to the side where the hinge portion 121 is disposed, so that the fastening portion 122 at the third side 127 can be pressed to achieve downward opening of the fastening portion 122 and the second matching portion 112.

It should be noted that there may be one or more hinge portions 121 and fastening portions 122, respectively, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. When there is one hinge portion 121 and one engaging portion 122, the structural complexity of the switch device 1 can be reduced. When there are a plurality of hinge portions 121 or engagement portions 122, respectively, the structural reliability of the switching device 1 can be improved to continue the operation without affecting the opening and closing effect in the case where a single hinge portion 121 or engagement portion 122 fails. For example, the two hinge portions 121 may be uniformly distributed on the first side 125, and the two hinge portions 121 improve the stability and structural reliability of the switch panel 12 during rotation.

it can be seen that, in the present disclosure, the positions and the number of the hinge portions 121 and the fastening portions 122 are not limited, as long as the fastening portions 122 are pressed to open and close the switch panel 12 through the connection of the hinge portions 121.
