Description

Panel assembly for sliding switch and sliding switch Technical Field Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of electrical devices, and in particular, to a panel combination for a sliding switch and a sliding switch. Background Currently, conventional mechanical panel switches on the market generally employ a classical structural design. The design includes a rotatable operating member and a spring system that cooperate to drive rotation of a movable conductive member. When the operating rod is rotated, the movable conductive piece can also rotate along with the rotating operation rod, so that the on-off function of the switch is realized. Such a structure is simple and reliable, and has been widely used in various electronic devices and mechanical devices, such as a switch panel, a control panel, and the like. The mechanical panel is indeed relatively single in form, mainly focusing on the traditional push-button design, which is reliable in function, but has certain limitations in meeting the diversified demands of people. With the development of technology and the increasing demands of people for individuation and intellectualization of products, the conventional mechanical panel design has difficulty in completely meeting the market demands. Disclosure of Invention In a first aspect of the present disclosure, a panel assembly for a sliding switch is provided.

In some embodiments, the panel assembly further comprises a position maintaining assembly disposed on at least one of the driver and the housing and adapted to apply a force to the driver to move the driver to and maintain the driver in the closed or open position during the intermediate position of the member between the positions. In some embodiments, the position maintaining assembly comprises at least one pair of magnets, including at least a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet being arranged on a side of the driver facing the bottom wall of the housing and the second magnet being arranged on a fixed portion in the housing, wherein opposing surfaces of the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically identical, and the first magnet and the second magnet partially overlap in a direction perpendicular to the panel during the driver being in the closed position or the open position, and the first magnet and the second magnet are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the panel when the driver is in an intermediate position between the closed position and the open position. In some embodiments, the panel assembly further includes a clasp fixedly coupled to a side of the panel facing the driver and including a plurality of jaws, wherein the driver includes a plurality of jaws and an insertion slot formed in a portion of an outer circumference of each of the plurality of jaws for inserting the jaw through the driver to couple to the corresponding jaw. In some embodiments, the panel assembly further includes a limit stop disposed on at least one of the panel, the driver, and the housing for limiting further movement of the driver in the closed position and the open position. In some embodiments, the position maintaining assembly further includes a first resilient member coupled between the housing and the driver and adapted to be in a stable state when the driver is in the closed position and the open position and in an unstable state when the driver is in the intermediate position, compressed, stretched, or twisted.
