Description

a toggle switch

technical field

The invention relates to the field of switch control, in particular to a toggle switch which can be toggled up and down and applied to an automobile control system.

Background technique

With the continuous development and progress of the automobile industry, the forms of automobile central control switches have also become diversified. Conventional ones include mechanical push button switches, touch switches, and knob switches, as well as relatively high-end gesture control switches.

However, due to the fact that the traditional toggle switch has long since disappeared in the vehicle control industry due to its large size and taking up a lot of space, the toggle switch that can be toggled up and down has not yet been effectively used in the field of automotive central control.

Contents of the invention

In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a toggle switch with a compact structure and the function of toggle up and down.

In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is:

A toggle switch is provided, including: a toggle button, a switch housing, a rocker and a tact switch;

The toggling button and the switch housing are rotatably mounted on the switch housing up and down, the seesaw is rotatably mounted on the switch housing up and down, and one end of the toggling button is connected to one end of the seesaw overlapping, the tact switch is located above or below the other end of the rocker.

The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: the function of dialing the switch up and down is realized by using two sets of simple seesaw mechanisms, and the internal space is compressed, which has a space advantage in the field of compact central control switches.

detailed description

In order to describe the technical content, achieved goals and effects of the present invention in detail, the following descriptions will be made in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

The most critical idea of the present invention is: by turning the button up and down, the seesaw that overlaps with it is turned up and down, so as to realize the function of the corresponding switch.

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 , the present invention provides a toggle switch, including: a toggle button 1 , a switch housing 3 , a seesaw 4 and a tact switch 61 .

The toggle button 1 and the switch casing 3 are mounted on the switch casing 3 so as to be rotatable up and down, the seesaw 4 is mounted on the switch casing 3 so as to be rotatable up and down, and one end of the toggle button 1 is connected to the switch casing 3. One end of the seesaw 4 is overlapped, and the tact switch 61 is located above or below the other end of the seesaw 4 .

It can be seen from the above description that the beneficial effect of the present invention is that: the toggle button 1 and the seesaw 4 cooperate with the bushing of the switch housing 3, when the toggle button 1 is rotated up and down, the seesaw 4 overlapping with it Rotate up and down, thereby bumping the light touch switch 61 to realize the function of dialing up and down of the switch, the structure is simple and easy to realize.

Further, a rubber pad 5 is provided between the tact switch 61 and the seesaw 4 .

Further, the rubber pad 5 is provided with elastic protrusions to provide proper damping to the seesaw and toggle buttons, and the damping functions as support and rebound.

It can be seen from the above description that the elastic protrusions on the rubber pad 5 can increase the operating force and stroke, provide the return of the toggle button 1, and provide button cushioning, noise reduction and protection.

Further, the tact switch 61 is arranged on the printed circuit board 6 .

Further, the toggle switch further includes a cover 2 for covering the switch housing 3 and the toggle button 1 .

It can be seen from the above description that the face cover has a positioning effect on the rocker button, ensuring a good clearance fit.

Further, the face cover 2 and the switch housing 3 are connected and fixed by protrusions on both sides and the upper part of the switch housing 3 , and partially cover the toggle button 1 .

Further, the toggle switch further includes an upper cover 7 connected to the switch housing 3 to close the switch housing 3 .

It can be seen from the above description that the upper cover 7 covers the switch housing and protects the printed board assembly and internal mechanisms.

Further, one end of the toggle button 1 is overlapped under one end of the seesaw 4 , and the tact switch 61 is arranged above the other end of the seesaw 4 .

Further, the end of the seesaw 4 overlapping with the toggle switch is tilted upward.

Further, one end of the toggle button 1 is overlapped on one end of the seesaw 4 , and the tact switch 61 is arranged under the other end of the seesaw 4 .

Please refer to Figures 1 to 2, Embodiment 1 of the present invention is:

A toggle switch provided by the present invention includes: a toggle button 1, a switch housing 3, a seesaw 4, a tact switch 61 and a second tact switch 62;

The toggle button 1 and the switch casing 3 are mounted on the switch casing 3 so as to rotate up and down, and the seesaw 4 is mounted on the switch casing 3 so as to rotate up and down, and one end of the toggle button 1 is connected to the switch casing 3. One end of the seesaw 4 is overlapped, and the second tact switch 62 is located above its contact area, and the tact switch 61 is located above or below the other end of the seesaw 4 .
