As shown in fig. 1, the present application discloses an embodiment of a toggle switch that includes a housing and a switch assembly, wherein the switch assembly is mounted within the housing.

Specifically, the housing includes a first cover 11 and a second cover 12, wherein a vertical internal threaded post is fixed inside the first cover 11, a top of the internal threaded post is open, a through hole corresponding to the internal threaded post is formed in the second cover 12, and when the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 are fastened, a screw 16 can penetrate through the through hole and then be matched with the threaded post, so as to fix the first cover 11 and the second cover 12.

In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, the switch assembly includes a push handle 21, a terminal 22 and a contact 23, wherein a sliding slot 13 is formed on the first cover 11 or the second cover 12, one end of the push handle 21 extends out of the sliding slot 13 and is in sliding fit with the sliding slot 13, and when the push handle 21 slides along the sliding slot 13, the terminal 22 and the contact 23 can be contacted or separated.

For convenience of description, in the present application, the second cover 12 is located above the first cover 11, the sliding groove 13 is formed in the second cover 12, in a more specific example, the switch assembly further includes an elastic sheet 24 and a guiding member 25, wherein the contact 23 is disposed on an upper surface of one end of the elastic sheet 24, the terminal 22 is mounted above the elastic sheet 24, the pushing handle 21 is provided with a pressing head 26, the pressing head 26 is used for supporting the elastic sheet 24, the guiding member 25 is disposed along an extending direction of the sliding groove 13, when the pushing handle 21 slides along the sliding groove 13, the guiding member 25 is used for guiding the pressing head 26 to move, so that the pressing head 26 fluctuates up and down, and further drives the elastic sheet 24 to fluctuate, and the elastic sheet 24 drives the contact 23 to contact with or separate from the terminal 22 through fluctuation.

In order to realize that the guide member 25 can guide the pressure head 26 to fluctuate up and down, in one example, the guide member 25 is fixed inside the first cover 11, a plurality of grooves 251 are formed on one surface of the first cover 12 facing the second cover, the pressure head 26 is connected to one side of the push handle 21 close to the guide member 25 through an elastic member 27, the elastic member 27 can be a spring, one end of the elastic member is connected with the push handle 21, the other end of the elastic member extends towards the guide member 25, the end of the pressure head 26 is in contact with the guide member 25, the grooves 251 on the guide member 25 are arranged along a sliding path of the pressure head 26, the sliding path of the pressure head 26 is a path when the pressure head 26 slides along the push handle 21, the elastic member 27 can prevent the push handle 21 from fluctuating along the pressure head 26, and ensure that the pressure head 26 can always contact the guide member 25.

The pressing head 26 is used for supporting the elastic sheet 24 to one side of the elastic sheet 24, for example, the bottom end of the pressing head 26 may be a ball head, a hollow portion parallel to the sliding groove 13 and corresponding to the groove 251 is formed in the middle of the elastic sheet 24, the ball head end of the pressing head 26 is in contact with the guide piece 25 through the hollow portion, and the width of the hollow portion is smaller than the diameter of the pressing head 26, so that when the pressing head 26 slides along with the push handle 21, the pressing head can always cling to the guide piece 25 to slide and advance along the arrangement direction of the groove 251, and further fluctuate up and down under the guide of the groove 251, when the pressing head 26 fluctuates, as the overall diameter of the pressing head is larger than the diameter of the hollow portion of the elastic sheet 24, the elastic sheet 24 can be pressed downwards, and when the pressing head ascends, the elastic sheet 24 can ascend together by virtue of its own elasticity, so as to realize fluctuation, and the elastic sheet may be a reed.

In some examples, the terminals 22 include several terminals and have different heights, the number and positions of the contacts 23 correspond to those of the terminals 22 one by one, in this example, all the contacts 23 are in contact with all the terminals 22 when the spring plate 24 is in a natural state, and by providing the grooves 251 with different depths, when the pressing heads 26 enter the grooves 251 with different depths, the pressing heads 26 can press the spring plate 24 and the contacts 23 to different heights, and then one or a group of the contacts 23 can be separated from the corresponding terminals 22.

In a more specific example, there are three grooves 251 on the guide 25, each of the terminals 22 and the contacts 23 includes two, the two contacts 23 are located at the same height, the terminals 22 are arranged in a vertically staggered manner, the depths of the three grooves 251 gradually become shallower, when the indenter 26 is located in the deepest groove 251, the indenter 26 presses the elastic sheet 24 to the lowest point, all the contacts 23 are separated from the terminals 22, when the indenter 26 enters the second deep groove 251, the terminal 22 with the lower height contacts the corresponding contact, when the indenter 26 enters the shallowest groove 251, the elastic sheet 24 is located at the highest point, at this time, the two contacts 23 simultaneously contact the two terminals 22, and the indenter 26 is driven by the push handle 21 to enter different grooves 251 by sliding the push handle 21, thereby realizing switching of different conductive gears.

In addition, in some examples, the contact 23 may be fixed on the lower surface of the spring plate 24, the terminal 22 is also located below the spring plate 24, when the spring plate 24 is in the natural state, the terminal 22 is separated from the contact 23, and when the pressing head 26 enters the grooves 251 with different depths, one or more contacts 23 can be contacted with the corresponding terminals 22.

It is understood that in other examples, the pressing head 26 can separate or contact the contact 22 from the contact 23 by lifting the spring plate 24 upward, and the separation and contact of the contact 23 from the contact 22 can be controlled by moving the pressing head 26 into and out of the groove 251, for example, when the pressing head 26 enters the groove 251, the pressing head 26 presses the spring plate 24, the spring plate 24 drives the contact 23 to separate from the contact 22, and when the pressing head 26 leaves the groove 251, the spring plate 24 resets itself, so that the contact 23 contacts with the contact 22.

In some examples, the pressing head 26 of the elastic member 27 is composed of a cylindrical sleeve and a ball head, and the pressing head 26 is sleeved on one end of the elastic member 27 far away from the push handle 21 through the cylindrical sleeve, so that the sleeved pressing head 26 can be replaced and installed more easily than the manner in which the pressing head 26 is directly and fixedly connected with the elastic member 27 in the prior art.

In the embodiment disclosed in the present application, a first fastener is disposed on a side edge of the middle portion of the first cover 11, a second fastener is disposed on a side edge of the second cover 12 close to the first fastener, when the first cover 11 is fastened with the second cover 12, the first fastener is fastened with the second fastener, in a specific example, a groove is vertically disposed on the side edge of the middle portion of the first cover 11, a protruding protrusion 14 is fixed in the groove, the second fastener includes a square connecting piece fixed in the middle portion of the second cover 12, a square through hole is disposed in the middle portion of the connecting piece and serves as a slot 15, the connecting piece extends toward the protrusion 14 as a whole, and when the first cover 11 is fastened with the second cover 12, the protrusion 14 can be just fastened in the slot 15.

This application closes the second fastener through setting up first fastener in the middle part of casing to when making first lid 11 and the buckling of second lid 12, above-mentioned first fastener can block with the second fastener, thereby can avoid first casing and second casing to take place the condition of middle part fracture in processing and use effectively.
