Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more apparent, the present utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the utility model.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a toggle device applicable to an embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in fig. 1, the striking device may include a striking plate 2, a magnetic element 41, a magnetic element 42, and a bracket 3; the upper surface of the moving plate 2 is provided with a moving part 21, the lower surface of the moving plate 2 is provided with a magnetic element 41, and the upper surface of the bracket 3 is provided with a magnetic element 42. The magnetic elements 41 and 42 may be magnets, and like poles of the magnetic elements 41 and 42 may be disposed opposite to each other, for example, S poles of the magnetic elements 41 and 42 are disposed opposite to each other. As shown in fig. 1, "relative arrangement" herein means, for example: the magnetic element 41 is located above the magnetic element 42, the S-pole of the magnetic element 41 is downward, and the S-pole of the magnetic element 42 is upward, so that the S-pole of the magnetic element 41 is opposite to the S-pole of the magnetic element 42.

The toggle portion 21 is configured to move the magnetic element 41 between a first position (e.g., a position a) and a second position (e.g., a position b). Illustratively, the magnetic element 41 is fixedly connected with the striking plate 2, and the striking part 21 can drive the striking plate 2 to move, so as to drive the magnetic element 41 on the striking plate 2 to move between the position a and the position b.

Specifically, when the magnetic element 41 moves to the center of the position a and the position b (i.e., the position c), the center of the magnetic element 41 is directly opposite to the center of the magnetic element 42, and the repulsive force between the magnetic element 41 and the magnetic element 42 is maximized; as the magnetic element 41 moves from the distant position c to the position a or the position b, the repulsive force between the magnetic element 41 and the magnetic element 42 gradually decreases. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between two magnetic elements according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in fig. 2, in the process that the stirring part 21 drives the magnetic element 41 to move from the position a to the position c, the distance between the two magnetic elements gradually becomes smaller, the repulsive force between the two magnetic elements gradually becomes larger, and at this time, the stirring part 21 presents resistance to the force for moving (i.e. the user feels resistance when stirring the stirring part 21); in the process that the poking part 21 drives the magnetic element 41 to move from the position c to the position b, the distance between the two magnetic elements gradually becomes larger, the repulsive force between the two magnetic elements gradually becomes smaller, and at the moment, the poking part 21 presents assistance to the force for moving the magnetic element (namely, a user feels assistance when poking the poking part 21). Therefore, the elastic hand feeling of the toggle switch is increased by utilizing the repulsive force between the relative magnetic elements, and compared with the switch of the rotary electronic element in the prior art, the structure of the utility model can improve the elasticity of the toggle switch during toggle, thereby improving the position certainty of the switch during toggle.

Illustratively, a gap may exist between the magnetic element 41 and the magnetic element 42. Fig. 3 is a schematic side view of a toggle device according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in fig. 3, the gap between the magnetic element 41 and the magnetic element 42 may be in the preset range of 1.2mm-2.5 mm. If the gap between the two magnetic elements is too close, wear increases, resulting in a shorter service life; if the gap between the two magnetic elements is too far, the repulsive force between the magnetic elements is reduced, possibly resulting in failure to meet the elastic feel requirement.

Illustratively, the lower surface of the dial 2 is further provided with at least one protrusion, for example, the lower surface of the dial 2 is further provided with four protrusions, and the specific number of the protrusions may not be limited in the present utility model. Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a lower surface of a toggle piece according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in fig. 4, four protrusions 301, 302, 303, 304 may be located on the outer sides of the magnetic element 41 in four directions, and the four protrusions may be elongated protrusions with the same length and parallel to each other, and the directions of the two ends of the elongated protrusions may be the direction in which the toggle plate moves horizontally.

In an alternative embodiment, the protrusions may be provided on the upper surface of the support 3. Taking four protrusions as an example, the four protrusions may be located on the outer sides of the magnetic element 42 in four directions, the four protrusions may be elongated protrusions with the same length and parallel to each other, and the directions of two ends of the elongated protrusions may be the direction in which the toggle plate moves horizontally.

In the process that the poking part 21 is poked, the poking piece 2 can move in the vertical direction due to the acting force of a user; therefore, after the at least one protrusion is arranged, the at least one protrusion can prevent the magnetic element 41 and the magnetic element 42 from directly rubbing when the toggle piece 2 is close to the bracket 3, so that the service life of the switch structure is prolonged, and the falling-off of the magnetic element is reduced.

Alternatively, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an explosion structure of a toggle device according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As shown in fig. 5, the toggle piece 2 further includes a connection portion 22, which is configured to connect with a switch on an electronic component, and the position a and the position b where the toggle piece 2 moves may correspond to the opening and closing of the switch on the electronic component. The switch key on the electronic component may be a toggle switch key or a rotary switch key, which is not limited in the present utility model.

The toggle device further comprises an outer housing 1, an elongated hole 11 and at least one threaded hole 12 being provided in the outer housing 1. The poking part 21 is embedded in the long hole 11 and moves between the position a and the position b along the long hole 11; the threaded hole 12 is used for fixedly connecting the housing 1 with the bracket 3. Alternatively, the housing 1 may be L-shaped. As shown in fig. 5, the elongated hole 11 may be located in one direction of the L-shaped housing 1, and the screw hole 12 may be provided in the other direction of the L-shaped housing 1. Optionally, the bracket 3 may be provided with a hole 31 through which a bolt can pass, and the bolt 6 is bolted to the threaded hole 12 through the hole 31 to fix the bracket 3 to the housing 1.

An exemplary embodiment of the present utility model is that a gasket 5 is disposed between the toggle piece 2 and the housing 1, the gasket 5 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the elongated hole 11, fig. 6 is a schematic view of the lower surface structure of the housing of the toggle device according to the embodiment of the present utility model, and as shown in fig. 6, the gasket 5 includes a foam layer 51 and a PET layer (or PET sheet) 52. Optionally, the foam layer 51 contacts with the casing 1, and because the foam layer 51 has flexibility, the repulsive force of the magnetic element to the toggle piece 2 during the switch movement can be balanced, so that the upper surface of the toggle piece 2 is isolated from the casing 1, and the service life of the element is prolonged. Optionally, the PET sheet 52 is in contact with the upper surface of the toggle piece 2. The surface of the PET sheet 52 is smooth, so that the friction force between the gasket and the upper surface of the toggle piece 2 can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the element is prolonged.

An embodiment of the present utility model provides a switching device including the toggle device described in the foregoing embodiment. Optionally, the switching device further includes the connection portion and the switching key on the electronic component described in the above embodiment.
