Abstract

A shift assembly structure of switch device includes a connection seat formed with an assembling hole for rotatably connecting with a main body. A latch section is disposed on the bottom of the connection seat for latching and assembling with a wire-connection module. The connection seat has an arm protruding from the connection seat and an (elastic) restriction section formed on the arm. A shift body is assembled in the connection seat. The shift body is formed with a ridge section and a push/press section. When the shift body is moved from a first position to a second position, the ridge section is permitted to directly pass through the restriction section into a locked state. After the push/press section pushes the restriction section, the main body is unlocked from the connection seat, whereby the assembly of the main body and the connection seat is controllable.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shift assembly structure of a switch device comprising:
a connection seat formed with an assembling hole for rotatably connecting with a main body, the connection seat having an arm and a restriction section resiliently extending from a portion of the arm; and
a shift body assembled with the connection seat, the shift body being movable between a first position and a second position, the shift body being formed with a ridge section and a push/press section, when the shift body is moved from the first position to the second position, the ridge section displaces the restriction section to pass by the restriction section into a locked state, where the restriction section abuts a side of the ridge section, subsequent displacement of the push/press section toward the restriction section displaces the restriction section away from the side of the ridge section to thereby unlock the main body from the connection seat, whereby the installation and uninstallation of the main body and the connection seat are controllable.

2. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the shift body is assembled with an upper section of the connection seat, the shift body including an annular section, the shift body being further formed with a shift section protruding from the annular section and a mouth section formed on the shift section for receiving the push/press section, two sides of the mouth section of the shift body being respectively formed with the ridge section and a stop wall, the push/press section including a fixed end connected with the stop wall of the shift body and an inclined face formed ata free end of the push/press section, whereby the inclined face of the free end has an elastic motional range, the inclined face having a height lower than a height of the ridge section.

3. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the shaft section of the main body being passable through the assembling hole of the connection seat with the insertion blocks of the assembling hole positioned in the channels so as to assemble the main body with the connection seat, a latch section being disposed on a bottom of the connection seat.

4. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the shaft section of the main body being passable through the assembling hole of the connection seat with the insertion blocks of the assembling hole positioned in the channels so as to assemble the main body with the connection seat, a latch section being disposed on a bottom of the connection seat.

5. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the arm protrudes from one side of an upper section of the connection seat, the arm being formed with a mouth section receiving the restriction section, the restriction section having a fixed end connected with the mouth section and an inclined section formed at a free end of the restriction section, whereby the inclined section of the free end has an elastic motional range, the inclined section having a tail end formed with a stop wall, a sidewall being formed on one side of the arm, a shoulder section being formed on the sidewall.

6. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the shift body is assembled with the upper section of the connection seat, the shift body including an annular section, the shift body being further formed with a shift section protruding from the annular section and a mouth section formed on the shift section for receiving the push/press section, two sides of the mouth section of the shift body being respectively formed with the ridge section and a stop wall, the push/press section including a fixed end connected with the stop wall of the shift body and an inclined face formed at a free end of the push/press section, whereby the inclined face of the free end has an elastic motional range, the inclined face having a height lower than a height of the ridge section.

7. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the annular section defines a perforation formed with multiple insertion blocks, a leg section protruding from a bottom of the push/press section.

8. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the shaft section of the main body being passable through the assembling hole of the connection seat with the insertion blocks of the assembling hole positioned in the channels so as to assemble the main body with the connection seat, a latch section being disposed on a bottom of the connection seat.

9. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein when the shift body is moved from the first position to the second position, the ridge section moves along the restriction section to pass through the inclined section into a space defined by the shoulder section and the stop wall of the arm into the locked state, in which the inclined section of the restriction section is in contact with the inclined face of the shift body.

10. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the shaft section of the main body being passable through the assembling hole of the connection seat with the insertion blocks of the assembling hole positioned in the channels so as to assemble the main body with the connection seat, a latch section being disposed on a bottom of the connection seat.

11. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein when the push/press section the restriction section, the inclined face of the push/press section pushes the inclined section of the restriction section to a horizontal position to force the stop wall of the restriction section to leave the ridge section into an unlocked state.

12. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the shaft section of the main body being passable through the assembling hole of the connection seat with the insertion blocks of the assembling hole positioned in the channels so as to assemble the main body with the connection seat, a latch section being disposed on a bottom of the connection seat.

13. The shift assembly structure of the switch device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the main body receives therein an operation section, the main body has a shaft section and channels formed on the shaft section, the assembling hole of the connection seat having a wall formed with multiple insertion blocks, the
