Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of switches, and in particular to an eight-way seat adjustment switch. Background Art

[0002] The seat adjustment switch is a switch used to adjust the car seat. The seat adjustment switch is set near the seat to adjust the position, angle and support of the car seat. Usually the seat adjustment switch is a six-way seat adjustment.

[0003] In the related art, a seat adjustment switch comprises a housing, on which a six-way adjustment module is arranged, and the six-way adjustment module is used to adjust the front and rear, height and angle of the car seat.

[0004] Since the waist of the seat is difficult to resist the user when the user is driving, the user needs to move the waist of the seat, so the six-way adjustment switch is difficult to meet the needs of the user. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem that users need an additional switch to move the waist of the seat, the present application provides an eight-way seat adjustment switch.

[0006] The present application provides an eight-way seat adjustment switch, which adopts the following technical solution: An eight-way seat adjustment switch comprises a shell, an operating panel is provided on the shell, a six-way adjustment module is provided on the shell, the operating panel is used to drive the six-way adjustment module, a two-way adjustment module is provided on the shell, an operating block is rotatably connected to the operating panel, the operating block is used to drive the two-way adjustment module, the two-way adjustment module comprises two buttons, both of the buttons are located on the rotation path of the operating block, and the two buttons are respectively located on different sides of the rotation axis of the operating block.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating block is rotated on the operating panel. Since the two buttons are located on the rotation path of the operating block and the two buttons are respectively located on different sides of the rotation axis of the operating block, the operating block can press different buttons during the rotation process. Two different electrical signals are triggered by pressing different buttons. Different electrical signals are used to control the movement of the seat waist, so that the seat waist can resist the user, so as to meet more user needs and increase the practicality of the eight-way seat adjustment switch.

[0008] Optionally, a stop groove is provided on the operating panel, the operating block is located in the stop groove, a stop plate is slidably connected in the stop groove, a stop spring is provided on the stop plate, and the stop spring drives the stop plate to block the stop groove; when the stop plate blocks the stop groove, the operating block is difficult to press.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the stop plate is driven to move by the stop spring, so that the stop plate blocks the stop groove, so that the user will not drive the operating block when pressing the operating panel, thereby preventing the user from accidentally touching the operating block and adjusting the seat in two directions; the user slides the stop plate so that the stop plate does not block the stop groove, so that the user can rotate the operating block, thereby realizing that the operating block can control the two-way adjustment module.

[0010] Optionally, a stop block is slidably connected to the stop plate, and a first groove and a second groove that are interconnected are formed on the side wall of the stop groove. The stop block is slidably connected in the first groove and the second groove, and the first groove is located on the side of the second groove away from the ground; when the stop block is located in the first groove, the stop plate blocks the stop groove; when the stop block is located in the second groove, the stop plate does not block the stop block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first groove is located on the side of the second groove away from the ground, when the user presses the stop plate and slides the stop plate, the stop block moves from the first groove to the second groove, so that the stop plate does not block the stop groove; if the user only slides the stop plate, since the first groove is located on the side of the second groove away from the ground, it is difficult for the stop block to move from the first groove to the second groove, thereby making it difficult for the stop plate to slide in the stop groove, so that the stop plate can still block the operating block.

[0012] Optionally, a water-absorbing sponge is provided on the stop plate, and the water-absorbing sponge abuts against the groove wall of the stop groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a water-absorbing sponge is set on the stop plate, so that the water-absorbing sponge can absorb the stop plate, making it difficult for external flowing water to hit the operating block, thereby making it difficult for the two-way adjustment module controlled by the operating block to be affected by moisture, so that the two-way adjustment module can stably achieve adjustment.

[0014] Optionally, a limiting groove connected to the second groove is provided on the operating panel, and a limiting block is slidably connected in the limiting groove; when the stop block is located on the side of the limiting block away from the first groove, the limiting block restricts the stop block from leaving the second groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit block slides in the limit groove, so that the limit block is inserted into the second groove, and the limit block is located on the side of the stop block facing the first groove, so that the stop block is restricted from leaving the second groove, making it difficult for the stop plate to block the stop groove, so that the user can rotate the operating block.

[0016] Optionally, an elastic spring is provided in the second groove, an elastic strip is provided on the elastic spring, and the elastic spring drives the elastic strip to block the limiting groove; when the elastic strip blocks the limiting groove, the limiting block is not inserted into the second groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic strip is driven to move by the elastic spring, and the elastic strip drives the elastic strip to block the opening of the limiting groove, so that the elastic strip limits the movement of the limiting block, thereby making it difficult for the limiting block to be inserted into the second groove, and the stop block can be smoothly moved from the first groove to the second groove, thereby preventing the limiting block from moving into the second groove due to vibration and affecting the movement of the stop block in the second groove.

[0018] Optionally, a movable plate is provided on the operating plate, the retaining spring is arranged on the movable plate, the first groove, the second groove and the limit groove are all opened on the movable plate, a fixed groove is opened on the operating plate, a fixed block is provided on the limit block, the limit block is rotatably connected to the movable plate, a through hole connected to the fixed groove is opened on the operating plate, and the fixed block is detached from the fixed groove at the through hole; when the fixed block is located in the fixed groove, the movable plate is fixed to the operating plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first groove, the second groove and the limit groove are all opened on the movable plate. If the water-absorbing sponge absorbs enough water, the staff needs to remove the movable plate from the operating plate and squeeze out the water in the water-absorbing sponge so that the water-absorbing sponge can absorb water subsequently; the limit block is rotatably connected to the movable plate, and the staff rotates the limit block, and the limit block is disengaged from the fixed groove at the through hole, so that the fixed block can release the limit on the movable block, thereby allowing the movable plate to be taken out of the stop groove.

[0020] Optionally, a limiting spring is provided on the limiting block, and the limiting spring drives the fixing block to be inserted into the fixing groove; when the fixing block is located in the fixing groove, the limiting block restricts the stop block to be located in the second groove.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing block is driven to be inserted into the fixing groove by the limiting spring, so that the limiting block can be smoothly inserted into the second groove, so that the user does not need to manually move the stop block, and the limiting block can automatically limit the stop block to prevent the stop block from moving in the second groove.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The operating block is rotated on the operating panel. Since the two buttons are located on the rotation path of the operating block and the two buttons are located on different sides of the rotation axis of the operating block, the operating block can press the buttons during the rotation process. Pressing different buttons triggers two different electrical signals. Different electrical signals control the movement of the seat waist, so that the seat waist can resist the user, so as to meet more user needs and increase the practicality of the eight-way seat adjustment switch.

[0023] 2. Since the first groove is located on the side of the second groove away from the ground, when the user presses the stop plate and slides the stop plate, the stop block moves from the first groove to the second groove, so that the stop plate does not block the stop groove; if the user only slides the stop plate, since the first groove is located on the side of the second groove away from the ground, it is difficult for the stop block to move from the first groove to the second groove, making it difficult for the stop plate to slide in the stop groove, so that the stop plate can still block the operating block.
