Description

Multi-directional switch device

The present invention relates to a multidirectional switching device, and more particularly to a device for smoothly moving a switching device.

For the prior art related to the present invention, reference is made to the Chinese patent of the publication number CN201323154. The patent discloses a multi-directional switch device comprising a first housing, a spring that is conically received in the first housing, a receiving cover that is disposed on the spring, a pair of vertically disposed sliding members, and a driving sliding member In the operation part, the receiving cover has a circular shape, the upper surface thereof is of a level, and the lower side is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the spring, and the sliding member moves on the upper surface of the receiving cover, and the operating portion is subjected to an external force to one side. When moving, the sliding member moves to the side to act on the receiving cover, so that the spring under the side receiving cover is squeezed. When the external force is removed, the operating body is restored to the initial position by the restoring force of the spring, because the receiving cover is the upper surface level. The ring, while the spring is tapered, tends to tilt when rotated, causing the receiving cover and the sliding member to be caught, and such a design is not conducive to the 360 degree rotation of the operating body.

Therefore, it is necessary to design a new multi-directional switch device to solve the above technical problems.

The center slider 8 includes a driving portion 81 that drives the sliding member 5 to slide, and a supporting portion 82 that extends upward from the driving portion 81, and the supporting portion 82 is a spherical shape. The operating body 4 further includes an abutting portion 43 that is coupled to the center slider 8 . The abutting portion 43 is provided with a hemispherical receiving hole 431 . The spherical supporting portion 82 is received in the receiving hole 431 . The operating body 4 can be in the supporting portion 82 . A 360 degree rotation is achieved. The sliding member 5 includes a first slider 51, a second slider 52 perpendicular to the first slider 51, and a pair of contact terminals 53 respectively mounted on the first and second sliders 51, 52. The first and second sliders 51, 52 are each provided with a slot 54. The driving portion 81 slides in the slot 54. When the first and second sliders 51, 52 are driven by the driving portion 81, the docking terminal 53 is moved. Sliding contact with circuit board 2

Referring to the fourth to sixth figures, the receiving cover 7 includes a horizontal surface 71 extending downward from the horizontal surface 71 and a flange 72. The top of the spring 6 is received inside the flange 72. The receiving cover 7 further includes a first inclined surface 73 extending upward from the horizontal surface 71 and a second inclined surface 74 connected to the first inclined surface 73 and extending obliquely downward. The second inclined surface 74 has a circular arc shape. The movable member 3 includes a curved top portion 31 and a cylindrical body 32 extending downward from the top portion 31. The bottom surface of the cylindrical body 32 is provided with a curved surface 33. The curved surface 33 is on the second inclined surface 74 when the operating body 4 moves. Smooth sliding, so that the operating body 4 can be easily rotated 360 degrees, and the hand feels continuously and conveniently. When an external force acts on the operating portion 41, the movable member 3 slides onto the second inclined surface 74, and the spring 6 is pressed by the receiving cover 7. When the external force is removed, the movable member 3 slides down the second due to the restoring force of the spring 6. The inclined surface 74 returns the operating body 4 to the initial position.

The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all or the only embodiments. Any equivalent changes to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art by reading the description of the present invention are the claims of the present invention.
