Switch assembly for cleaning and caring appliance and cleaning and caring appliance

A switch assembly for a cleaning and caring appliance, the switch assembly comprising:

• a switch configured to perform a switching operation for the cleaning and caring appliance;
• and
• a switch rocker having a distal end and a proximal end, the switch being arranged below the distal end of the switch rocker and the switch rocker operatively triggers the switch,
• wherein
• the switch rocker comprises a small arm, a large arm, and a pivoting portion located between the small arm and the large arm, the large arm having a length greater than that of the small arm, and the large arm comprising the distal end;
• the switch assembly further comprises a first retaining portion for retaining the pivoting portion of the switch rocker and a second retaining portion for retaining the proximal end of the switch rocker;
• the second retaining portion retains an end of the small arm away from the pivoting portion, and when no pressing force acts on the switch rocker, the small arm of the switch rocker is bent and deformed to be in a pre-tensioned state, while the switch rocker generates a first moment (M) around the pivoting portion to make the large arm tend to move away from the switch.
