1. An electronic switch, comprising:

  • a first bolt that is directly controlled by a rotating button to enable the first bolt to outwardly protrude from or retract within a housing, an elastic clasp is located at an end of the first bolt, and the elastic clasp is retained by a protruding edge of the housing, thereby disenabling the first bolt from an arbitrary retracting movement;

    an electromagnetic device positioned at an upper end of an extended section of the first bolt interior of the housing, an electromagnetic inductive surface of the electromagnetic device appropriately corresponds to the elastic clasp, the electromagnetic device is connected to an input device using a conducting wire;

    entering of a correct password into the input device activates the electromagnetic device to induce movement of the elastic clasp, thereby releasing a retaining state between the elastic clasp and the protruding edge of the housing, and simultaneously disconnecting a security system;

    a second bolt positioned above the first bolt interior of the housing;

    when locking, the first bolt protrudes into a lockhole and the second bolt retracts within the interior of the housing;

    when unlocking, the first bolt retracts within the interior of the housing and the second bolt protrudes out of the housing;

    thus, the freely retractable characteristic of the second bolt is used to prevent mistaken locking; and

    a microswitch connected to the security system, and positioned at an end of the second bolt;

    when the second bolt retracts within the interior of the housing, then the second bolt triggers the microswitch and activates the security system through a conducting wire.
