A rocker switch, comprising:
- a base having a receiving space;
- a first conductive element penetrated into and provided in the base;
- a second conductive element penetrated into and provided in the base;
- a rocker conductive element configured in the receiving space, wherein the rocker conductive element is provided above the first conductive element and selectively connected to the second conductive element in the form of a rocker;
- an operating component assembled on the base, wherein the operating component comprises an operating element and a first elastic element, the operating element comprises a sliding and pressing element and a limiting element, and the sliding and pressing element comprises a thermal conductive shell and an overheating destructive element, the thermal conductive shell has an inwardly concaved chamber, in which the overheating destructive element is placed into the chamber and combined with the thermal conductive shell, the overheating destructive element can be destroyed at a destructive temperature, whereby the destructive temperature is between 100° C. and 250° C., the sliding and pressing element slidably moves on the rocker conductive element so as to enable the rocker conductive element to be contacted with or separated from the second conductive element in a manner of rocking motions, the first elastic element is compressively limited between the overheating destructive element and the limiting element and has a first elastic force;
- a second elastic element having a second elastic force, wherein the second elastic force acts on the operating element and the first elastic force is greater than the second elastic force under a normal condition;
- when the operating element is in a first position, the first elastic force forces the rocker conductive element to be contacted with the second conductive element to form an electrical connected state, under the electrical connected state, a current flows through the first conductive element, the rocker conductive element and the second conductive element and generates a heat energy, the overheating destructive element absorbs the heat energy and becomes destroyed at the destructive temperature, the first elastic force is therefore reduced or lost as a result, in the meantime the second elastic force is greater than the first elastic force at the moment, and the second elastic force forces the operating element to move to a second position, such that the rocker conductive element is separated from the second conductive element to form a state of electrical disconnection.
