The principle of the photoelectric switch is to determine whether the switch is on or off by judging whether the receiving end receives the two groups of infrared lasers from the transmitting end. As a preferred solution, when the rotating member 4 is at the upper stop point, the lower stop point, and any position between the upper stop point and the lower stop point, the light emitted by the transmitting end of the third switch 502 can pass through the light-transmitting port 407 or be blocked by the light-blocking portion 406.

[0057] The present invention provides a car, comprising any of the above-mentioned switch devices capable of composite operation.

In specific implementation, the controller can be integrated on the PCB board 5 of the switch device, or the body controller can be used as the above-mentioned controller.

[0059] An operation method proposed by the present invention is applied to any of the above-mentioned automobiles, and includes the following steps: the controller responds to the first operation signal of the switch device, and the controller determines whether the second operation signal of the switch device is received within a preset time; if the controller receives the second operation signal within the preset time, the controller outputs a control instruction corresponding to the combination of the first operation signal and the second operation signal; otherwise, the controller outputs a control instruction corresponding to the first operation signal; when the time interval between the current operation signal of the switch device received by the controller and the last operation signal of the switch device received by the controller is greater than the preset time, the controller determines that the current operation signal of the switch device is the first operation signal. The above-mentioned control scheme, combined with the structural characteristics of the switch device, can realize compound operation quickly and continuously, and use compound operation to realize the control of more vehicle functions.

[0060] In some embodiments, the preset time is no more than 500ms. The preset time can be adjusted appropriately according to different requirements. Based on the switching device that can quickly and continuously implement compound operations, two consecutive operations between compound operations can be performed continuously without an interval, and the compound operation and two consecutive single operations can be quickly distinguished, which helps to set the preset time value to a smaller value, which is beneficial to reduce the delay of the switching device in controlling vehicle functions.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first operation signal and the second operation signal are different operation signals. That is, when the first operation signal is an operation signal sent by one of the two first switches 11, the second switch 501 and the third switch 502, the operation signal is determined to be the second operation signal only when an operation signal sent by another of the two first switches 11, the second switch 501 and the third switch 502 is received within a preset time. The above solution is conducive to preventing misoperation and improving operation efficiency.

[0062] In specific implementation, the operation method described in any of the above items combined with the function menu bar displayed on the central control screen can realize the selection and control of more vehicle functions; because three independent guiding structures in different directions are arranged inside the switch device, the button 6 can realize a composite operation mode combining any two operation modes of rotation, pressing down, left translation and right translation; the multi-function switch can realize but is not limited to the following composite operations: "left translation + pressing down", "pressing down + left translation", "left translation + rotation", "rotation + left translation", "right translation + pressing down", "pressing down + right translation", "right translation + rotation", "rotation + right translation", "rotation + pressing down", "pressing down + rotation"; combined with the control logic setting of the control, specific composite operations can be used to realize quick control of a certain function, further improving the user's operation convenience; the diversified operation modes make it easy for users to form operation memories, and some simple blind operations can be performed, which not only reduces the distraction caused by operating the switch device during driving, but also improves the user's operation comfort and driving safety.
