Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a switch assembly and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, switches are the most commonly used control components in various electronic devices, home appliances, and vehicles (such as motorcycles, electric vehicles, and bicycles). Their core function is to connect and disconnect circuits through mechanical action. Existing switch structures are mostly in the form of push-button, rocker arm, or push-pull types, and circuit conduction is usually achieved through vertical pressing or a simple toggle mechanism.

[0003] Traditional switches typically only have two operating states: on and off. They cannot achieve multi-level switching or multi-mode control within a limited space, resulting in relatively simple functionality that fails to meet the multi-functional operation requirements of modern smart devices. Furthermore, the triggering process is abrupt and the tactile feedback is poor. In existing push-button structures, the button acts directly on the contact point through an elastic element. The contact point is subjected to a momentary impact during the connection and disconnection process, which can easily cause mechanical jamming, stiff pressing, and other issues, resulting in an uneven user experience. Summary of the Invention

This application provides a switch assembly and vehicle that can simultaneously possess multi-position and multi-circuit control capabilities while efficiently integrating within a limited space.

The first movable component is connected to the positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning body, a positioning ball, and a first elastic component. The positioning body has a first contact portion, a contact slope, a second contact portion, and a positioning hole. The first contact portion, the contact slope, and the second contact portion are connected in sequence. The height of the first contact portion is less than the height of the second contact portion. The opening of the positioning hole faces downward. A portion of the positioning ball and the first elastic component are disposed in the positioning hole. The first housing has a positioning portion. The positioning portion includes a first groove and at least one second groove. The first groove and the second groove are arranged side by side laterally. The openings of the first groove and the second groove both face upward. The first triggering component is correspondingly disposed to the first contact point. The first switch module has an off state and an on state: When in the closed state, part of the positioning ball is located in the first groove, the upper end of the first trigger component is in contact with the first contact portion, and the first trigger component is away from the first contact point; When in the open state, part of the positioning ball is located in the second groove, the second contact part abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component to make the first trigger component move, and the first trigger component contacts the first contact point; At least one second switch module includes a second movable part and at least two second trigger components, the second trigger components are disposed on the conductive plate, the second trigger components are disposed corresponding to the second contacts, and the second movable part is connected to the second trigger components.

[0006] The switch assembly according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: The switch assembly of this application includes a first housing, a second housing, a conductive plate, a circuit board, a first switch module, and at least one second switch module. A receiving cavity is formed between the first housing and the second housing, and the conductive plate and the circuit board are longitudinally stacked and mounted in the receiving cavity. The circuit board is provided with at least one first contact and a second contact.

[0007] The first switch module includes a first movable part, a positioning component, and at least one first triggering component. The first movable part is connected to the positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning body, a positioning ball, and a first elastic component. The positioning body has a first contact portion, a contact slope, a second contact portion, and a positioning hole. The first contact portion, the contact slope, and the second contact portion are smoothly connected in sequence. The height of the first contact portion is less than the height of the second contact portion. The opening of the positioning hole faces downward. Part of the positioning ball and the first elastic component are disposed within the positioning hole. The first elastic component is disposed between the positioning ball and the inner wall of the positioning hole. The first housing has a positioning portion. The upper side of the positioning portion has a first groove and at least one second groove. The first groove and the second groove are arranged horizontally side by side. The openings of the first groove and the second groove both face upward. The first triggering component is located above the first contact and is disposed corresponding to the first contact.

[0008] When in use, the first switch module has an off state and an on state: When in the closed state, the first moving part is in the initial position, part of the positioning ball is located in the first groove, the upper end of the first trigger component is in contact with the first contact part, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component is away from the first contact point.

[0009] When in the open state, the first movable component is in the open position, the positioning ball is located in the second groove, the second contact part abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component to move the first trigger component down a preset distance, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component contacts the first contact point.

[0010] When switching from the closed state to the open state, the first movable component moves laterally from its initial position to the open position under the action of external force, causing the positioning assembly to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball remains in contact with the upper side of the positioning part under the elastic force of the first elastic component. After the positioning ball disengages from the first groove, it slides into the second groove. Simultaneously, the positioning body moves laterally relative to the first trigger assembly. The upper end of the first trigger assembly disengages from the first contact part and gradually contacts the contact slope. Since the height of the contact slope towards the second contact part gradually increases and it is located below the positioning body, the contact slope abuts against the upper end of the first trigger assembly, causing the first trigger assembly to gradually move downward. When the first trigger assembly moves relative to and abuts against the second contact part, the first trigger assembly moves to its lowest point. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger assembly contacts the first contact point, and the circuit is turned on.

[0011] The second switch module is disposed adjacent to the first switch module. The second switch module includes a second movable part and at least two second trigger components. The second trigger components are mounted on a conductive plate and are located above and corresponding to the second contacts. The second movable part is connected to the second trigger components. Each second trigger component operates independently. When the second movable part is activated, it can push the corresponding second trigger component to turn different second contacts on or off.

[0012] The switch assembly of this application adopts a lateral movement structure of moving parts and positioning components in the first switch module, replacing the existing vertical pressing structure. A first groove and at least one second groove are provided on the positioning part of the first housing. Different functional modes are switched by positioning balls sequentially engaging different grooves. Furthermore, the longitudinal movement of the trigger component and the electrical contact are achieved through a first contact part, a contact slope, and a second contact part, replacing the existing spring-loaded pressing trigger. This avoids the mechanical impact and jamming of traditional pressing triggers and achieves a smooth gear shifting feel. The switch assembly of this application also performs specific functions through a second switch module, enabling the switch assembly to simultaneously possess multi-gear and multi-circuit control capabilities.

At the same time, the upper end of the first contact part moves from the first contact part to the second contact part through the contact slope, so that the second contact part abuts against the first contact component. The first trigger component moves down to drive the second trigger component to contact the first contact point.

[0027] The following reference Figures 1 to 8 This application describes the switch assembly and vehicle in the embodiments.

[0028] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a switch assembly according to one embodiment of this application includes a first housing 2, a second housing 3, a conductive plate 4, a circuit board 5, a first switch module 6, and at least one second switch module 7. A receiving cavity is formed between the first housing 2 and the second housing 3, and the conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5 are longitudinally stacked and mounted in the receiving cavity. The circuit board 5 is provided with at least one first contact 51 and a second contact 52.

[0029] See also Figures 3 to 8 The first switch module 6 includes a first movable part 61, a positioning component 62, and at least one first trigger component 63. The lower end of the first movable part 61 is connected to the positioning component 62 and is used to transmit external operations to the inside of the switch module. The positioning component 62 includes a positioning body 621, a positioning ball 622, and a first elastic component 623. The positioning body 621 has a first contact portion 6211, a contact slope 6212, a second contact portion 6213, and a positioning hole 6214. The first contact portion 6211, the contact slope 6212, and the second contact portion 6213 are smoothly connected in sequence. The height of the first contact portion 6211 is less than the height of the second contact portion 6213. The opening of the positioning hole 6214 faces downward. A portion of the positioning ball 622 and the first elastic component 623 are disposed inside the positioning hole 6214. The first elastic component 623 is disposed between the positioning ball 622 and the inner wall of the positioning hole 6214. The first elastic component 623 applies a downward elastic force to the positioning ball 622, so that the lower part of the positioning ball 622 is outside the positioning hole 6214. The first housing 2 is provided with a positioning part 21. The upper side of the positioning part 21 is provided with a first groove 211 and at least one second groove 212. The first groove 211 and the second groove 212 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. The openings of the first groove 211 and the second groove 212 are both facing upward. The first trigger component 63 is located above the first contact 51 and is arranged corresponding to the first contact 51.

[0030] When in use, the first switch module 6 has a closed state and an open state: When in the closed state, the first moving part 61 is in the initial position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the first groove 211, the upper end of the first trigger component 63 is in contact with the first contact part 6211, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 is away from the first contact point 51.

[0031] When in the open state, the first movable part 61 is in the open position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the second groove 212, the second contact part 6213 abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63 to make the first trigger component 63 move down a preset distance, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 contacts the first contact point 51.

[0032] When switching from the closed state to the open state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally from its initial position to the open position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the first groove 211, it slides into the second groove 212. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 disengages from the first contact part 6211 and gradually contacts the contact slope 6212. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 towards the second contact part 6213 gradually increases and it is located below the positioning body 621, the contact slope 6212 abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63, causing the first trigger component 63 to gradually move downward. When the first trigger component 63 moves relative to and abuts against the second contact part 6213, the first trigger component 63 moves to the lowest point. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 contacts the first contact point 51, and the circuit is turned on.

[0033] When switching from the open state to the closed state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally from the open position to the closed position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the second groove 212, it slides back into the first groove 211. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63, and the upper end of the first trigger component 63 disengages from the second contact part 6213, and the second contact part 6213 releases its contact with the first trigger component 63. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 gradually contacts the contact slope 6212. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 toward the first contact part 6211 gradually decreases and it is located below the positioning body 621, the first trigger component 63 gradually moves upward during the movement of the contact slope 6212. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 separates from the first contact 51, and the circuit is broken to achieve closure. When the first trigger component 63 moves relative to and comes into contact with the first contact portion 6211, the first trigger component 63 moves up to the highest point.

[0034] The second switch module 7 is disposed adjacent to the first switch module 6. The second switch module 7 includes a second movable part 71 and at least two second trigger components 72. The second trigger components 72 are mounted on the conductive plate 4 and are located above and corresponding to the second contacts 52. The second movable part 71 is connected to the second trigger components 72. Each second trigger component 72 operates independently. When the second movable part 71 is activated, it can push the corresponding second trigger component 72 to turn different second contacts 52 on or off.

[0035] The switch assembly of this application replaces the existing vertical pressing structure by adopting a lateral movement structure of movable parts and positioning components 62 in the first switch module. A first groove 211 and at least one second groove 212 are provided on the positioning part 21 of the first housing 2. Different functional modes are switched by positioning balls 622 sequentially engaging different grooves. Furthermore, the longitudinal movement of the trigger component and the electrical contact connection are achieved through the first contact part 6211, the contact slope 6212, and the second contact part 6213, replacing the existing spring-loaded pressing trigger. This avoids the mechanical impact and jamming of traditional pressing triggers and achieves a smooth gear switching feel. The switch assembly of this application also performs specific functions by providing a second switch module 7. The first switch module 6 and the second switch module 7 share a conductive plate 4 and a circuit board 5, enabling the switch assembly to have multi-gear and multi-circuit control capabilities while efficiently integrating within a limited space.

[0036] In some embodiments, the switch assembly further includes a housing 1, which has a first through hole 11 and a second through hole 12. A first movable member 61 is laterally slidably installed in the first through hole 11, with a portion of the first movable member 61 installed in the operable area on the outside of the housing 1. A second movable member 71 is installed in the second through hole 12, with a portion of the second movable member 71 installed in the operable area on the outside of the housing 1. The first housing 2, the second housing 3, the conductive plate 4, the circuit board 5, the first switch module 6 excluding the first movable member 61, and the second switch module 7 excluding the second movable member 71 are all installed inside the housing 1.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second switch module 7 has two switches.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 can be connected by welding, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, or other methods.

[0039] according to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of this application, there are two second grooves 212, two first trigger components 63, and two first contacts 51. The two second grooves 212, two first trigger components 63, and two first contacts 51 are all symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal axis of the first groove 211. That is, a second groove 212, a first trigger component 63, and a first contact 51 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the first groove 211. The two different first contacts 51 on the left and right can be set to different functional modes, corresponding to the first open state and the second open state, respectively.

[0040] In use, the first switch module has a closed state, a first open state, and a second open state: When in the closed state, the first moving part 61 is in the initial position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the first groove 211, the upper ends of the first trigger components 63 on the left and right sides are in contact with the first contact parts 6211 on the left and right sides respectively, and at the same time, the lower ends of the first trigger components 63 are away from the corresponding first contact points 51.

[0041] When in the first open state, the first movable part 61 is in the open position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the second groove 212 on the left, the second contact part 6213 on the left abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the left so that the first trigger component 63 on the left moves down a preset distance, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 on the left contacts the first contact point 51 on the left.

[0042] When switching from the closed state to the first open state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally to the left from its initial position to the first open position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the first groove 211, it slides into the second groove 212 on the left. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the left disengages from the first contact part 6211 on the left and gradually contacts the contact slope 6212 on the left. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 on the left gradually increases towards the second contact part 6213 on the left and is located below the positioning body 621, the contact slope 6212 on the left abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the left, causing the first trigger component 63 on the left to gradually move downward. When the first trigger component 63 on the left moves relative to the second contact portion 6213 on the left and abuts against the second contact portion 6213 on the left, the first trigger component 63 on the left moves down to the lowest point. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 on the left contacts the first contact 51 on the left, the circuit is turned on, and the first open state of the first switch module is realized.

[0043] When switching from the first open state to the closed state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally to the right from the first open position to the closed position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the second groove 212 on the left, it slides to the right into the first groove 211. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally to the right relative to the first trigger component 63, and the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the left disengages from the second contact part 6213 on the left, and the second contact part 6213 on the left releases its contact with the first trigger component 63 on the left. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the left gradually comes into contact with the left contact slope 6212. Since the height of the left contact slope 6212 towards the left first contact portion 6211 gradually decreases and it is located below the positioning body 621, the contact slope 6212 gradually contacts the upper end of the left first trigger component 63, causing the left first trigger component 63 to gradually move upwards. At this time, the lower end of the left first trigger component 63 separates from the left first contact point 51, and the circuit is disconnected, achieving a shutdown. When the left first trigger component 63 moves relative to and contacts the left first contact portion 6211, the left first trigger component 63 moves to its highest point.

[0044] Similarly, when in the second open state, the first movable part 61 is in the open position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the second groove 212 on the right side, the second contact part 6213 on the right side abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right side to make the first trigger component 63 on the right side move down a preset distance, and at the same time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 on the right side contacts the first contact point 51 on the right side.

[0045] When switching from the closed state to the second open state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally to the right from its initial position to the second open position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the first groove 211, it slides into the second groove 212 on the right side. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right side disengages from the first contact part 6211 on the right side and gradually contacts the contact slope 6212 on the right side. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 on the right side gradually increases towards the second contact part 6213 on the right side and is located below the positioning body 621, the contact slope 6212 on the right side abuts against the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right side, causing the first trigger component 63 on the right side to gradually move downward. When the first trigger component 63 on the right moves relative to the second contact portion 6213 on the right and abuts against the second contact portion 6213 on the right, the first trigger component 63 on the right moves down to the lowest point. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 on the right contacts the first contact 51 on the right, the circuit is turned on, and the second open state of the first switch module is realized.

[0046] When switching from the second open state to the closed state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally to the left from the second open position to the closed position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. At this time, the positioning ball 622 maintains contact with the upper side of the positioning part 21 under the elastic force of the first elastic component 623. After the positioning ball 622 disengages from the second groove 212 on the right side, it slides to the left into the first groove 211. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally to the left relative to the first trigger component 63, and the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right side disengages from the second contact part 6213 on the right side, and the second contact part 6213 on the right side releases its contact with the first trigger component 63 on the right side. The upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right gradually comes into contact with the contact ramp 6212 on the right. Since the height of the contact ramp 6212 towards the first contact portion 6211 on the right gradually decreases and it is located below the positioning body 621, the contact ramp 6212 gradually contacts the upper end of the first trigger component 63 on the right, causing the first trigger component 63 on the right to gradually move upwards. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 63 on the right separates from the first contact point 51 on the right, and the circuit is disconnected, achieving a shutdown. When the first trigger component 63 on the right moves relative to and comes into contact with the first contact portion 6211 on the right, the first trigger component 63 on the right moves to its highest point.

[0047] The first contact points 51 on the left and right sides can correspond to different functional modes.

[0048] This application provides a novel first switch module in a switch assembly, which adopts a lateral movement structure of a first movable part 61 and a positioning component 62 to replace the existing vertical pressing structure. A first groove 211 and at least one second groove 212 are provided on the positioning part 21 of the first housing 2. By sequentially engaging different grooves with a positioning ball 622, not only can the switch be turned on and off, but also multiple levels and multiple modes can be switched. Each second groove 212 corresponds to an independent first trigger component 63 and contact circuit, thereby forming two independent control paths on the left and right. When the positioning ball 622 slides into the second grooves 212 on the left and right sides respectively, the first switch module is turned on in different functional modes. The switch can realize two different working modes or functional outputs in the same structure, realizing three-level adjustment, which significantly improves the flexibility of the switch. The first switch module also realizes the longitudinal movement of the first trigger component 63 and the conduction of electrical contacts through the first contact part 6211, the contact slope 6212 and the second contact part 6213, replacing the existing spring-press trigger, avoiding the mechanical impact and jamming of the traditional press trigger, and realizing a smooth gear switching feel.

[0049] In some embodiments, the upper side of the first movable component 61 is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0050] according to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first trigger component 63 includes a first triggering component 631 and a second triggering component 634. The second triggering component 634 is mounted on the conductive plate 4. The upper end of the first triggering component 631 is connected to the first contact portion 6211, the contact slope 6212, or the second contact portion 6213 on the lower side of the positioning body 621. The first triggering component 631 and the second triggering component 634 are stacked longitudinally in sequence. The lower end of the first triggering component 631 is connected to the upper end of the second triggering component 634. The second triggering component 634 is disposed above the first contact point 51, and the second triggering component 634 is correspondingly disposed to the first contact point 51. In use: When in the closed state, the first active component 61 is in the initial position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the first groove 211, the upper end of the first trigger component 631 is in contact with the first contact part 6211, and the second trigger component 634 is away from the first contact point 51; When in the open state, the first movable part 61 is in the open position, part of the positioning ball 622 is located in the second groove 212, the second contact part 6213 abuts against the upper end of the first triggering part 631 to make the first triggering part 631 move down, the first triggering part 631 pushes the second triggering part 634 to produce the same displacement, so that the second triggering part 634 contacts the first contact point 51; When the switch from the closed state to the open state occurs, the first movable component 61 moves from its initial position to the open position under the action of an external force, causing the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole, and the positioning ball 622 moves from the first groove 211 to the second groove 212. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63, and the upper end of the first trigger component 631 disengages from the first contact portion 6211 and gradually contacts the contact slope 6212. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 towards the second contact portion 6213 gradually increases and it is located below the positioning body 621, the first trigger component 631 moves from the first contact portion 6211 to the second contact portion 6213 relative to the contact slope 6212. The first trigger component 631 is pushed downward and moves down, and the first trigger component 631 pushes the second trigger component 634 down. When the second contact 6213 abuts against the first triggering component 631, the first triggering component 631 and the second triggering component 634 move down to the lowest point simultaneously, and the second triggering component 634 contacts the first contact 51, thus turning on the circuit.

[0051] When switching from the open state to the closed state, the first movable component 61 moves laterally from the open position to the closed position under the action of external force, and drives the positioning component 62 to move laterally as a whole. The positioning ball 622 disengages from the second groove 212 and slides back into the first groove 211. At the same time, the positioning body 621 moves laterally relative to the first trigger component 63, and the upper end of the first trigger component 631 disengages from the second contact part 6213, and the second contact part 6213 releases its contact with the first trigger component 631. The upper end of the first trigger component 631 gradually contacts the contact slope 6212. Since the height of the contact slope 6212 toward the first contact part 6211 gradually decreases and it is located below the positioning body 621, during the movement of the first trigger component 631 on the contact slope 6212, the first trigger component 631 and the second trigger component 634 move upward under the action of elasticity or structural return force. At this time, the lower end of the first trigger component 631 separates from the first contact 51, and the circuit is broken to achieve closure.

[0052] The first switch module in the switch assembly of this application uses a split trigger structure. The first trigger component 631 and the second trigger component 634 form an upper and lower force transmission relationship, so that the mechanical displacement from the positioning component 62 can be transmitted to the circuit contacts in stages. This avoids mechanical impact caused by direct contact between the positioning component 62 and the electrical contacts. Because the trigger action is transmitted in stages, excessive friction or impact is avoided, the durability of the overall structure is improved, and the service life is greatly extended.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the first trigger component 631 and the second trigger component 634 may be an integral structure.

[0054] according to Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first triggering component 631 is provided with a slide rod 632 and a limiting part 633, and the positioning part 21 is also provided with a sliding hole 213. The slide rod 632 is longitudinally slidably installed in the sliding hole 213. The limiting part 633 is provided on the lower periphery of the slide rod 632. The periphery of the limiting part 633 is larger than the diameter of the sliding hole 213, so that the limiting part 633 can form a limiting engagement with the lower side of the positioning part 21 below the sliding hole 213, thereby limiting the movement range of the slide rod 632 and preventing the slide rod 632 from excessively moving upward and falling off.

[0055] according to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the second triggering component 634 includes a main body. An elastic frustum 635 is provided on the side of the second triggering component 634 facing the first contact 51. The lower periphery of the elastic frustum 635 is connected to the conductive plate 4. Inside the elastic frustum 635, a third contact 636 and an air cavity 637 are provided. The air cavity 637 can undergo compression deformation during triggering. The third contact 636 is located on the upper side of the air cavity 637, that is, on the inner surface of the upper end of the elastic frustum 635. The first contact 51 is located on the lower side of the air cavity 637, and the first contact 51 and the third contact 636 are correspondingly arranged. The air cavity 637 is connected to an air guide channel, which communicates with the outside, allowing the gas inside the cavity to achieve pressure balance with the external environment during compression or rebound. In the first switch module 6: When in the closed state, the positioning ball 622 is located in the first groove 211, the slide rod 632 is pushed upward under the support of the elastic frustum frame 635, the upper end of the slide rod 632 contacts the first contact part 6211, the limiting part 633 at the lower end of the slide rod 632 abuts against the bottom of the sliding hole 213, the slide rod 632 is fixed in the highest position, the second triggering component 634 maintains its original shape, the first contact 51 and the third contact 636 are far apart and maintain a certain gap, at this time the air chamber 637 is in a naturally inflated state, the air pressure inside the chamber is balanced with the external air pressure, the elastic frustum frame 635 does not deform, and the circuit remains disconnected.

[0056] When in the open state, the positioning ball 622 is located in the second groove 212, and the second contact part 6213 abuts against the upper end of the slide rod 632 and presses the slide rod 632 downward. The upper slide rod 632 presses down on the upper surface of the second triggering component 634, causing the elastic frustum 635 to undergo elastic deformation as a whole. The top surface of the elastic frustum 635 bends downward, causing the internal third contact 636 to descend and contact the lower first contact 51, thereby realizing circuit conduction. During this process, the air chamber 637 is compressed, and the internal air is discharged through the air guide to balance the internal pressure, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed triggering process.

[0057] When switching from the open state to the closed state, the second contact 6213 releases pressure from the slide bar 632, thereby releasing pressure on the elastic frustum 635. The elastic frustum 635 returns to its original shape under its own elastic restoring force, and the third contact 636 moves upward, separating from the first contact 51. The air chamber 637 re-draws air through the air guide channel and returns to the initial air pressure state, and the switch returns to the closed state.

[0058] The first switch module of this application ensures that the slide rod 632 always moves along a fixed path during its up-and-down movement through the sliding hole 213, avoiding deviation or wobbling and ensuring the accuracy of the triggering action. The limiting part 633 not only plays a role in preventing disengagement, but also determines the maximum displacement of the slide rod 632 by cooperating with the stroke of the sliding hole 213, so that the triggering process is controlled and repeatable.

[0059] according to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the second switch module 7 further includes a second elastic component 73. The first housing 2 is provided with a limiting platform 24, which has a limiting hole 241. The inner wall of the second movable component 71 is provided with a pressing part 711, which passes through the limiting hole 241 and is connected to the second trigger assembly 72. The limiting hole 241 provides guidance and restriction for the pressing part 711. The second elastic component 73 is sleeved on the outside of the pressing part 711. The two ends of the second elastic component 73 are respectively connected to the limiting platform 24 and the inner wall of the second movable component 71, so as to achieve reset after the pressing part 711 moves up and down.

[0060] according to Figure 6 and 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the second trigger component 72 includes a main body. An elastic frustum 635 is provided on the side of the second trigger component 72 facing the second contact 52. The lower periphery of the elastic frustum 635 is connected to the conductive plate 4. Inside the elastic frustum 635, a third contact 636 and an air cavity 637 are provided. The air cavity 637 can undergo compression deformation during triggering. The third contact 636 is located on the upper side of the air cavity 637, that is, on the inner surface of the upper end of the elastic frustum 635. The second contact 52 is located on the lower side of the air cavity 637. The second contact 52 and the third contact 636 are correspondingly arranged. The air cavity 637 is connected to an air guide channel, which communicates with the outside, allowing the gas inside the cavity to achieve pressure balance with the external environment during compression or rebound. In the second switch module 7: In use, pressing one side of the second movable component 71 causes the pressing part 711 to move downwards along the direction of the limiting hole 241 and compress the outer second elastic component 73. The second elastic component 73 is compressed and stores energy. At the same time, the lower end of the pressing part 711 causes the elastic frustum 635 of the second trigger assembly 72 to undergo elastic deformation. The top surface of the elastic frustum 635 bends downwards, causing the internal third contact 636 to descend and contact the corresponding second contact 52 below, thereby achieving circuit conduction. During this process, the air chamber 637 is compressed, and the internal air is discharged through the air guide to balance the internal pressure, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed triggering process.

[0061] After the second movable part 71 is released, the second elastic part 73, under the action of the rebound force, pushes the pressing part 711 to move upward and back to its original position along the limiting hole 241. The pressing part 711 releases the pressure on the elastic frustum 635, and the elastic frustum 635 returns to its original shape under the action of its own elastic restoring force. The third contact 636 then moves upward and separates from the second contact 52, the circuit is disconnected, and the system returns to its initial state. During this process, the air chamber 637 re-draws in air through the air guide channel and returns to its initial air pressure state.

[0062] The second switch module 7 of this application provides stable guidance throughout the entire movement process through the limiting platform 24 and the limiting hole 241, so that the up and down movement path of the pressing part 711 is controlled and centered, thereby ensuring triggering accuracy.

[0063] The first switch module and the second switch module 7 of the switch assembly of this application cooperate with each other through the elastic frustum 635, the air cavity 637 and the air guide channel, so that the second triggering component 634 / second triggering assembly 72 has good elastic response characteristics. The presence of the air cavity 637 and the air guide channel makes the elastic frustum 635 smooth during the process of being compressed and rebounding, avoiding mechanical impact. The contacts repeatedly contact under the elastic buffering effect, avoiding wear caused by hard collisions and improving the overall service life.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 623 and the second elastic member 73 may be configured as springs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first housing 2 is provided with a first rotating portion 25, and the second movable component 71 is provided with a second rotating portion 712 that cooperates with the first rotating portion 25. The second movable component 71 is rotatably mounted on the first housing 2 through the cooperation of the first rotating portion 25 and the second rotating portion 712. The first rotating portion 25 can be configured as a connecting cam, and the second rotating portion 712 can be configured as a connecting hole; similarly, the first rotating portion 25 can be configured as a connecting hole, and the second rotating portion 712 can be configured as a connecting cam.

[0066] according to Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the depth of the first groove 211 is greater than the depth of the second groove 212. The bottom of the first groove 211 is relatively lower, and its depth design allows the positioning ball 622 to embed more deeply when entering the first groove 211, thereby generating a greater positioning stabilizing force and ensuring the closing performance of the switch. In contrast, the second groove 212 is shallower, allowing the positioning ball 622 to retain a certain elastic preload when entering the second groove 212, facilitating quick switching to other positions. Simultaneously, the depth of the first groove 211 and the shallowness of the second groove 212 create a significant difference in force feedback, allowing the user to clearly perceive the gear position during switching.

[0067] according to Figure 6 As shown in one embodiment of this application, both the first groove 211 and the second groove 212 are structurally concave arc surfaces. The first groove 211 and the second groove 212 are smoothly connected by an arc transition section, eliminating any obvious sharp edges or abrupt changes between them. When the positioning ball 622 rolls between the first groove 211 and the second groove 212, it can smoothly slide along the arc transition section, achieving a smooth transition from the off position to the on position. The rolling path of the positioning ball 622 conforms to the arc-shaped surface, reducing sliding resistance and wear, and improving service life; at the same time, it prevents jamming or jumping caused by abrupt changes in shape.

[0068] The first switch module of this application achieves a smooth and controllable three-position positioning function through the combination of different groove depths and the arc transition shape.

[0069] according to Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the conductive plate 4 is provided with a first mating part 41 on its lower side, and the circuit board 5 is provided with a second mating part 53 on its upper side that mates with the first mating part 41. The first mating part 41 and the second mating part 53 are precisely aligned by means of insertion, fitting or convex-concave mating, so that the conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5 are fixedly positioned in both the vertical and horizontal directions to prevent assembly misalignment.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first mating portion 41 on the lower side of the conductive plate 4 is configured as a protrusion, and the second mating portion 53 may be configured as a concave point that mates with the protrusion. The mating of the concave point and the protrusion ensures the alignment accuracy of the conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5 when stacked vertically, and also prevents relative displacement caused by vibration or temperature changes during subsequent use.

[0071] according to Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first housing 2 is provided with a step 22, which blocks the upper side of the conductive plate 4. The step 22 and the inner wall of the second housing 3 cooperate to clamp the conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5 between the step 22 and the second housing 3. When the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 are assembled, the upper surface of the conductive plate 4 abuts against the lower side of the step 22, and the inner wall of the second housing 3 cooperates with the lower side of the conductive plate 4. The conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5 are jointly clamped and fixed between the step 22 and the inner wall of the second housing 3, making the internal structure stable and preventing displacement or loosening due to external forces or vibrations during use.

[0072] according to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first housing 2 has an upwardly protruding mounting portion 23, which is integrally formed with the first housing 2. The mounting portion 23 has a laterally formed mounting groove 231 for accommodating and guiding the positioning component 62. The positioning body 621 is laterally slidably mounted in the mounting groove 231, and the inner wall of the peripheral side of the mounting groove 231 limits the lateral sliding of the positioning body 621. The positioning body 621, being laterally slidably mounted in the mounting groove 231, can move freely laterally along the length of the mounting groove 231. The inner walls at both ends of the mounting groove 231 limit the lateral movement stroke of the positioning body 621 to prevent exceeding the stroke limit.

[0073] according to Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the first movable component 61 is detachably connected to the positioning body 621.

[0074] In some embodiments, the lower end of the first movable component 61 is provided with a first slot 611, and the upper end of the positioning body 621 is provided with a first buckle 6215 that cooperates with the first slot 611. The first buckle 6215 is provided with a first guide portion 6216 to facilitate the assembly of the first buckle 6215 with the first slot 611.

[0075] In other embodiments, the first movable part 61 and the positioning body 621 can be connected by screws, welding or other means, or they can be set as an integrated structure.

[0076] according to Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the positioning body 621 is detachably connected to the first housing 2.

[0077] In some embodiments, the positioning body 621 is provided with a second buckle 6217, and the mounting groove 231 of the first housing 2 is provided with a second slot 232 that cooperates with the second buckle 6217. The mounting groove 231 is provided with a second guide portion 233, which extends to one side of the second slot 232 to facilitate the assembly of the second buckle 6217 and the second slot 232.

[0078] One embodiment of the vehicle of this application includes the switch assembly described in the above embodiment.

[0079] The switch assembly of this application includes a first switch module 6 and at least one second switch module 7. The first switch module achieves flexible transmission between mechanical displacement and electrical triggering by combining a first movable component 61, a positioning component 62, a conductive plate 4, a circuit board 5, and multiple sets of first trigger components 63. Firstly, the multi-level groove structure formed by the positioning ball 622, the first groove 211, and the second groove 212 enables the switch to have multiple adjustment levels; each level provides clear mechanical positioning and tactile feedback, ensuring precise switching and stable levels. Secondly, the contact slope 6212 converts the lateral movement of the first movable component 61 into smooth vertical displacement of the first trigger component 63, ensuring a smooth and unimpeded transition between on and off states, significantly improving the user experience. Finally, the second trigger component 634 employs an elastic structure and an air cavity 637 buffer structure to avoid mechanical impacts, reduce contact wear, and thus significantly extend its service life. The second switch module 7 performs specific functions. The first switch module 6 and the second switch module 7 share the conductive plate 4 and the circuit board 5, enabling the switch assembly to have multiple positions and multiple circuit control capabilities while being efficiently integrated in a limited space.
