Evolutionary History of Switch Panels

Today, let’s talk about the evolutionary history of switch panels.

In 1879, since Edison invented the lamp holder and switch, it has officially opened the history of switch, socket production. The process of a small switch was officially launched after The German electrical engineer Augusta Lausi further proposed the concept of an electrical switch. So far, it has gone through three generations and grown to the fourth generation.

The First Generation: Pull-wire Switch

The pull-wire switch is a traditional switch of mechanical structure, which pulls the drive arm rotation by pulling the rope, and shifts the precision cam through the traditional shaft-driven torque spring, and drives the micro-switch to cut off the control line. The popularity of cable switches represents the beginning of electricity towards the lives of ordinary people. Of course, the first generation of switches has many defects, such as non-durable, unstable, unsightly and so on, so that it can only be eliminated in the end. When you see this picture, you must think of the memories of that time.

The Second Generation: Button Switch

A button switch is a switch that uses a button to push the drive mechanism, press or disconnect the moving contact stoic and disconnect the circuit and switch the circuit. Button switch structure is simple, stable and reliable, widely used, is still very common in all walks of life, especially some construction machinery, processing sites and other fields, the application is more common.

The Third Generation: Rocker Switch

The rocker switch, also known as the ship-shaped switch, is currently the most commonly used switch in household electrical appliances, such as a variety of lamps, computer speakers, televisions and so on, basically using the rocker switch. It is so widely used, mainly because it brings great convenience to our daily life, and it is very simple to use, the safety factor is relatively high, the appearance is relatively beautiful.

The Fourth Generation: Smart Switch

Electrical switches in the development of the first three generations of the development, each generation of switches, have brought a substantial increase in experience, and smart switch, the magnitude of change is even more dramatic, called “revolution” is not too much.

1. More beautiful and Elegant look

Smart switch in the design has unlimited possibilities, flexible ways, so that it can be more beautiful, more stylish. Most of the smart switch currently are adopting the new touch sensitive glass panel, according to different space color matching, arbitrary custom product color, can fully meet the user’s own personality needs.

2.Easier and safer installation

The smart touch switch completely bid farewell to the traditional switching mechanical structure, the installation method is more convenient and safe. For example, the installation method, replacement free, convenient and fast, is the previous switch cannot make it. And in the construction, intelligent switch are easier than traditional switch, as long as comply with the standard implementation strictly, the builder can easily do the installation and construction.

3.Intelligent interactive operation for precise control

Smart switch had achieved the intelligent control through WIFI, infrared and other ways, It can not only pass through the control terminal, mobile phone APP and other precise control, but also each smart switch can be active linked, freely and easy defined to any device.

4. Customized Scene Mode

The scene switch panel can also turn on a variety of home modes by customizing the home’s lights, curtains, background music, and more. Such as: family dinners, birthday parties and concert modes. Free-definition of life in a modular way is the norm for future intelligent life.

5. An curial role of a smart home

Smart switch is an important part of the smart home system; a smart home system contains control center, control panel and various types of sensors. Through the cooperation of various products, to achieve intelligent operation, the current home use of wireless networking methods have basically become the most common way of smart home wiring.
