Abstract

A control box includes a shell, a display hole, an active member, an indicating member and an interlinking member. The display hole is formed in the shell. The active member has a turn-on end and a turn-off end and is pivotally connected with the shell so as to seesaw. The indicating member is movably disposed in the shell and has a first identifiable portion and a second identifiable portion. The interlinking member is connected between the active member and the indicating member to drive the indicating member to move. Accordingly, when the active member seesaws under the effect of an external force, the indicating member is driven by the interlinking member to show the first identifiable portion or the second identifiable portion in the display hole.

Claims (32)

1. A control box, comprising:

a shell;

a display hole formed in the shell;

an active member having a turn-on end and a turn-off end and pivotally connected with the shell, wherein the pivoted portion between the active member and the shell is arranged between the turn-on end and the turn-off end so that the active member can seesaw;

an indicating member movably disposed in the shell and having a first identifiable portion and a second identifiable portion; and

an interlinking member connected between the active member and the indicating member to drive the indicating member to move;

wherein the interlinking member is a board body integrally extended from the active member;

wherein a first pushing block and a second pushing block protrude from one side of the board body at intervals;

wherein the indicating member has a supporting pole located between the first pushing block and the second pushing block; and

wherein when the active member seesaws under the effect of an external force, the indicating member is driven by the interlinking member to show the first identifiable portion or the second identifiable portion in the display hole.

2. The control box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the distance between the first pushing block and the second pushing block is greater than that between an upper dead center and a lower dead center where the supporting pole moves.

3. The control box as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the indicating member has a supporting point at which the indicating member is pivotally connected with the shell.

4. The control box as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising two elastic members which are respectively disposed on sides of the turn-on end and the turn-off end to provide restore forces for the turn-on end and the turn-off end.

5. The control box as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the distance between the first pushing block and the second pushing block is greater than that between an upper dead center and a lower dead center where the supporting pole moves.

6. The control box as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the indicating member has a supporting point at which the indicating member is pivotally connected with the shell.

7. The control box as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the elastic members are springs.

8. The control box as claim in claim 1 , wherein the control box is a remote controller.

9. A control box, comprising:

a shell;

a display hole formed in the shell;

an active member having a turn-on end and a turn-off end and pivotally connected with the shell, wherein the pivoted portion between the active member and the shell is between the turn-on end and the turn-off end so that the active member can seesaw;

an indicating member having a first identifiable portion and a second identifiable portion movably and concealedly disposed in the shell and selectively exposable from the display hole; and

an interlinking member, connected between the active member and the indicating member to mechanically drive the indicating member to move;

wherein when the active member seesaws under the effect of an external force, the indicating member is mechanically driven by the interlinking member to reveal the first identifiable portion or the second identifiable portion in the display hole without electric power.

10. The control box as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the interlinking member is a board body integrally extended from the active member, and a first pushing block and a second pushing block protrude from one side of the board body at intervals; and the indicating member has a supporting pole located between the first pushing block and the second pushing block.

11. The control box as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the distance between the first pushing block and the second pushing block is greater than that between an upper dead center and a lower dead center where the supporting pole moves.

12. The control box as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the indicating member has a supporting point at which the indicating member is pivotally connected with the shell.

13. The control box as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising two elastic members which are respectively disposed on sides of the turn-on end and the turn-off end to provide restore forces for the turn-on end and the turn-off end.

14. The control box as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the interlinking member is a board body integrally extended from the active member, and a first pushing block and a second pushing block protrude from one side of the board body at intervals; and the indicating member has a supporting pole located between the first pushing block and the second pushing block.

15. The control box as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the distance between the first pushing block and the second pushing block is greater than that between an upper dead center and a lower dead center where the supporting pole moves.

16. The control box as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the indicating member has a supporting point at which the indicating member is pivotally connected with the shell.

17. The control box as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the elastic members are springs.
