DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following will give a clear and complete description of the technical scheme of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all the other embodiments obtained by the general technicians in the field without doing creative work will all belong to the present disclosure protection scope.

In the description of the aspects of the disclosed embodiments, it must be stated that, the terms “center,” “up,” “down,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “inside,” “outside,” and other indications of orientation or position relations are all based on the orientation or position of relations in the attached images, the only purpose is to describe the utility model easily instead of indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular direction. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation of the utility model. Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” are used only for descriptive purpose and cannot be understood to indicate or imply relative importance.

In the description of the aspects of the disclosed embodiments, it must be stated that, unless otherwise expressly stipulated and limited, the terms “install,” “link,” “connect,” should be used in a broad sense. For example: it can be fixed connection, removable connection, or one connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediary, or the internal connection of two components. For general technicians in this field, they can understand the specific meaning of the above terms of this utility model in specific circumstances.

In addition, the technical characteristics involved in the different embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not constitute a conflict with each other.

EMBODIMENT

This embodiment provides a dimmer switch, as shown inFIG.1, comprising a shell1, a first regulating structure and second regulating structure.

Shell1, as shown inFIGS.1,2and4, has a circuit board11and the dial button12that used to control the ON/OFF state of the switch, the inner surface of the side plate of shell1locates a chute13, and the outer wall of the shell1has the baffle6that located below the tooth-shape piece51and its edge exceeds the set outer contour of the tooth-shape piece51, and shell1is provided with an indicator7for adjusting the illumination intensity corresponding to push button3and knob5.

The first regulating structure is located on shell1, as shown inFIGS.1,2,4and5, and includes the first potentiometer2connected with the circuit board11and a push button3for adjusting the resistor of the first potentiometer2to rough adjust the illumination intensity. Push button3along shell1, to drive the first potentiometer2to act. One side of push button3is provided with two slides31that can connect with the sliding chute, and there are two bulges32located on either side along its width of the bottom of push button3and they extend toward the direction of the upper cover of the shell and slide into contact with the upper cover.

The second regulating structure is located on shell1, as shown inFIGS.2and3, and includes the second potentiometer4connected with the circuit board11and a rotary knob5for adjusting the resistor of the second potentiometer4to rough adjust the illumination intensity. The rotary knob5drives the second potentiometer2to rotate. Knob5is comprised a tooth-shaped piece51arranged on the upper part, and a connecting rod52arranged below that can be connected with the41sets of mounting hole of the second potentiometer4, the cross-section of the connecting rod52is hexagonal, and the shape of the mounting hole41is a matched hexagon, wherein, part of the tooth-shape51is exposed and arranged outside shell1.

The dimmer switch provided by the present disclosure comprises of a shell1, a first adjusting structure, and a second adjusting structure. Shell1has a circuit board11and a dial button12for controlling the on-off state of the switch. The first regulating structure is located on shell1, and has the first potentiometer2that connects with the circuit board11, and a push button3of adjusting the resistor of the first potentiometer to rough adjust the illumination intensity, the push button3moves reciprocate along shell1to drive the first potentiometer2to move; the second regulating structure is located on the shell1and has the second potentiometer4that connected with the circuit board11, and a rotary knob5of adjusting the resistor of the second potentiometer4to rough adjust the illumination intensity. Knob5drives the second potentiometer4to rotate. The dimmer switch can adjust the illumination intensity by the push button3, and also fine tunes the lighting intensity through the knob5based on the coarse tuning, so that it is easy for the user to accurately adjust the light to the desired brightness.

The above embodiments are only examples for clear description, rather than a restriction on implementation. For general technicians in the field, they can make other changes or variations based on the above description. It is unnecessary and impossible to list all implementations here, but the obvious changes or variations arising therefrom still belong to the protection scope of utility model creation.
