Description

Pluggable multi-function push switch

The present invention relates to a pluggable multifunctional push switch; in detail, it relates to a push switch that can generate two independent signals through two different forms of physical pressing and touch sensing.

On all kinds of electronic products, it is often seen that functions are activated and controlled by pressing buttons to generate signals, and switches have various specifications, sizes, and types, and their applications are also quite extensive. In order to allow the user to confirm whether the pressing is true, there is also a lighted switch with a built-in light-emitting element, which can generate a light source for confirmation after pressing.

The switches commonly used in general precision equipment, small equipment or small electrical appliances are generally opened and closed by physical pressing. With the development of touch technology, there are also inductive switches that sense static electricity from the human body. Although both have their own applications Advantages, but a switch can usually only output one kind of signal, which also makes the switch limited in use.

In addition, the existing switches are installed in the precise equipment, small equipment or small electrical appliances controlled by them, mainly through metal conductive wires or needle-shaped conductive feet for corresponding connection and signal transmission. In the contact type equipment, if the switch fails, and the switch needs to be disassembled for repair, the original welding point will need to be removed. There will be more, which will be a very inconvenient operation in subsequent maintenance and disassembly, and its shortcomings can also be seen.

In addition, the above-mentioned fixed switch type can only be fixed to a single machine in use, and cannot realize the possibility of transferring the switch to another machine for use by plugging and unplugging, which is a limited application method. . In addition, for the above-mentioned technology, not only the thickness is limited, but if the user expects to use multiple LED light sources, it will be difficult to manufacture due to the increase of metal wires, which is the main technical bottleneck in the technical application. Furthermore, in the conventional switch, it is necessary to connect to the outside through the transmission pin. This part is difficult to simplify, and it is also the problem that it is difficult to reduce the space requirement.

Therefore, in view of the foregoing, the inventors of the present invention have considered and designed a pluggable multi-function push switch, in order to improve the deficiencies of the prior art, thereby enhancing the implementation and utilization in the industry.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention designs a pluggable multi-function push switch with novelty, progress and industrial applicability and other patent requirements, in order to overcome the difficulties of the prior art.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical means adopted in the present invention is to design a pluggable multifunctional push switch, which includes: a main socket, which is a hollow shell with an opening at the upper end, and the main socket The bottom wall of the seat is provided with a transmission opening; a sliding seat is a hollow shell with open upper and lower ends, which is correspondingly penetrated in the main seat and can slide up and down on the main seat, And between the main bearing seat and the sliding seat is provided with at least one return force spring; a pressing signal component is correspondingly arranged between the main bearing seat and the sliding seat, when the sliding seat is stressed After pressing down, a pressing signal can be triggered; a key cap is correspondingly disposed above the sliding seat, and the wall surface is transparent; an integrated circuit board is correspondingly arranged in the sliding seat, and the integrated The circuit board has a transmission member extending downward, and the bottom end of the transmission member has a plug-in portion, in addition, the integrated circuit board is further provided with an LED light source facing upward; a fixing seat is arranged on the integrated circuit The upper side of the board, and the fixing seat corresponding to the LED light source is transparent; a display, which is correspondingly arranged on the fixing seat, and does not overlap with the position of the LED light source, and the display is electrically connected to the integrated circuit board; and a touch panel correspondingly located under the keycap and electrically connected to the integrated circuit board.

Wherein, the pressing signal assembly further has a transmission portion, which extends from the bottom wall of the main socket and passes through.

Wherein, the plug portion is correspondingly fixed at the transmission opening of the main socket to provide a pluggable and pluggable fixing method.

The design of the pluggable multi-function push switch of the present invention is mainly to provide two signal outputs of a push signal and a touch signal corresponding to a switch button, so as to achieve physical touch and finger-sensing touch buttons. The function increases the flexibility of operation in a fixed space; for example, the touch signal can be used as an auxiliary to confirm that the pressing signal is pressed by a user's finger, thereby avoiding the accidental pressing of objects other than the user's finger. This switch causes the device to be turned on or off.

In addition, the present invention has a structure with a light, so it can be illuminated after pressing to provide a prompt effect on operation, or be used as a light source prompt in an environment where the light source is insufficient, which increases the diversity of applications. Furthermore, the pluggable transmission concept of hard plugging is further utilized, so that the switch of the present invention can be disassembled more conveniently, has features such as more convenient maintenance, or can be transferred to another device for use. The features shared by machines are unprecedented technologies.
