Wireless enabled load control device with voice controller
A wireless enabled load control device having integrated voice control is disclosed. The load control device may be connected to a variety of local and remote devices, including lighting devices and smart appliances, as well as various cloud service platforms. The load control device may receive a voice command from a user. The load control device may transmit the voice command to a first cloud service platform for processing to determine an instruction included in the voice command. The determined instruction may be provided to a second cloud service platform connected to the first cloud service platform. The first and second cloud service platforms may be connected to a device to be controlled based on the voice command. The cloud service platforms can adjust an operation of the device based on the determined instruction.
WATERPROOF ORAL IRRIGATOR
A waterproof oral irrigator including an oral irrigator housing which is provided with a sliding recess on an outer wall thereof; a push switch slidably fitted with the sliding recess and provided with a magnetic element; and a control circuit board arranged inside the oral irrigator housing and being provided with a plurality of Hall elements. A plurality of Hall elements are sequentially disposed at intervals along a sliding direction of a push switch. When the push switch slides along the sliding recess, the magnetic element can be driven to move to positions sensed by the plurality of Hall elements in sequence. Since the outer wall of the oral irrigator housing is provided with the sliding recess, and the sliding recess is not communicated with the interior of the oral irrigator, so that the waterproof performance of the oral irrigator can be greatly improved.
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATION SWITCH STRUCTURE
A multi-directional operation switch structure seeks to improve the reliability of a product by minimizing tolerances that need to be managed by making two regions guiding the sliding movement of a slider to be formed by one holder in a switch structure in which a knob is configured on the outside of a casing, and the slider and a holder connected to the knob are inside the casing. Especially, the present disclosure can improve structural stability due to a double support structure and ensure reliability of slider movement by allowing the holder as well as the casing to withstand pressure resulting from external forces. In addition, the present disclosure can simplify a coupling structure and a support structure by configuring the slider to be coupled to the holder in a rotational manner, and the coupled slider to be limited in rotation by the casing.
Slide input component assemblies of an electronic device and methods for making the same
Slide input component assemblies of an electronic device and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, a slide input component assembly may include a slide button subassembly that may have a knob, a base, a retention mechanism that may couple the knob to the base, and a shell part that may be provided about at least a portion of the base. The slide input component assembly may also include a slide switch subassembly that may have a switch that may be configured to move along a switch path when the slide button subassembly moves along a button path.
Multi-Step Shorting Switch and Illumination Device
The disclosure provides a multi-step shorting switch and an illumination device. The multi-step shorting switch includes a housing (1), wherein an upper surface or a side surface thereof is provided with an opening (111); a toggle device (2) provided in the housing (1), wherein a top portion or a side surface, corresponding to the above opening, of the toggle device (2) is provided with a toggle (21), the toggle (21) passes through the opening (111), and a bottom portion of the toggle device (2) is provided with a sliding contact member; and multiple contact terminals (31) provided on a substrate (3), wherein the sliding contact member (27) is configured to, in a sliding process caused by that the toggle (21) is shifted, simultaneously contact at least two of the multiple contact terminals (31), to form multiple steps which are continuously in a turn-on status without a turn-off status. The multi-step shorting switch according to the disclosure solves problems in the related art that a switch circuit structure is complicated and a double-sided Printed Circuit Board (PCB) board is required, and has the beneficial effects that a structure is simple, and it may work with or without a single-sided PCB board.
SPEED-CONTROL SWITCH
Disclosed embodiments relate to a socket. A speed-control switch, including: a housing including a top plate provided with a central opening extending in a length direction; a push rod at least partially contained in the housing, and a first end of the push rod protruding out of the housing from the central opening and capable of sliding in the central opening; a plurality of connection terminals provided in pairs in the housing and configured to: selectively engage with a second end of the push rod opposite to the first end to limit a plurality of speed indications of the speed-control switch; and a speed selection assembly with a part thereof set on the top plate and configured to allow a selection for a plurality of speed indications of the speed-control switch as the push rod slides in the central opening. The speed-control switch can achieve speed switching with a small force. The speed-control switch is suitable for high-power electrical appliances, requires a small number of components, reducing manufacturing costs and assembly time and assembly difficulty.
Linear slide switch used for speed-control
