Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive seat adjustment technology, specifically a four-way automotive seat adjustment switch module. Background Technology

[0002] A rocker switch is a control element that triggers a change in internal contacts by swinging a rocker arm, thereby opening or closing a circuit or switching signals. When the rocker arm is used in the automotive seat adjustment switch assembly, it becomes the core component integrating multi-directional adjustment functions. By controlling the motor to drive the seat to adjust its position in terms of forward / backward, height, and tilt, it improves the user experience and convenience.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 201030296725.2 discloses a car seat adjustment switch. 1. Car seat adjustment switch. 2. Product application of this design: This design is a car seat adjustment switch used to adjust car seats. 3. The key design feature of this design lies in the shape and form of the car seat adjustment switch. 4. Three-dimensional. Figure 1 This is the diagram that best illustrates the key design points.

[0004] In existing seat adjustment technology, multiple independent switches are usually used to control different functions such as seat up / down, backrest angle, and seat cushion forward / backward. This requires operators to frequently operate multiple buttons in different locations when adjusting the seat, resulting in insufficient integration of its multi-dimensional adjustment functions.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify the rocker switch and car seat adjustment switch assembly to effectively prevent insufficient integration. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a rocker switch and an automotive seat adjustment switch assembly that is easy to use and solves the problem of insufficient integration.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A four-way module for adjusting a car seat includes a module housing. A module silicone pad is connected to the bottom of the housing. A PCB circuit board is connected to the bottom of the silicone pad, and a module pressure block is connected to the top. A module lever and a module steering bracket are connected to the top of the module pressure block. The module lever and the module steering bracket are connected by a coupling. The module lever can control the module switch to start by four-way horizontal displacement. This invention establishes the basic architecture of the switch by incorporating the module silicone pad, module pressure block, module steering bracket, and module lever within the module housing, and by adding a button adjustment structure on the top of the lever. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a module silicone is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the module housing. The top protrusion of the module silicone is connected to a module pressing block, and the bottom is connected to a PCB circuit board. The top of the module pressing block is connected to a module swing arm and a module steering bracket. The module swing arm and the module steering bracket are connected by a coupling. The top of the module swing arm is connected to an adjustment button. The adjustment button can control the module switch to start by moving the swing arm in four directions.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment mechanism is a button. The bottom groove of the button is fixedly connected to the top ball head of the module swing rod. The button is set to an open state in all four horizontal directions, and the button can move horizontally in four directions. The displacement drives the module swing rod to perform transmission adjustment.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the circular shafts on both sides of the module swing arm are fixedly connected to the circular grooves of the module steering bracket. When the button moves horizontally left and right, it drives the module swing arm to rotate around the circular shafts, causing the contact points at both ends of the bottom of the module swing arm to move up and down. When the button moves horizontally forward and backward, it drives the module swing arm to push the connected module steering bracket to move up and down.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom two contact points of the module swing arm and the bottom two contact points of the module steering bracket are in contact with the module pressure block. The slider of the module pressure block is installed in the slide rail of the module housing. When the bottom two contact points of the module swing arm or the bottom two contact points of the module steering bracket move downward, they contact and press the module pressure block, causing it to move downward along the slide rail and further contact the module silicone connected to the bottom. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the module pressing block is connected to the module silicone contact. When the module pressing block moves downward, it contacts and presses the corresponding module silicone contact, causing the contact to compress and move downward. When it fully contacts the PCB circuit board at the bottom of the module silicone, the circuit of the PCB board forms a closed loop, and the circuit will be turned on.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the finger releases force, the silicone contact of the module springs back to its original position, pushing the connected module pressure block to move upward back to its original position. Furthermore, the upwardly moving module pressure block pushes the circular axis of the module swing rod to move upward back to its original position, thereby driving the connected button to reset.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention, by setting a button adjustment mechanism, utilizes the cooperation of various transmission mechanisms such as module silicone, module pressure block, module steering bracket, and module swing rod within the module upper shell to simultaneously adjust the front-to-back distance or angle of the seat cushion and backrest. This makes the seat adjustment more intelligent and user-friendly, avoids the inconsistencies that may result from adjusting the seat cushion and backrest separately, and improves the overall user experience.

[0013] 2. This invention sets the circular shafts on both sides of the module swing arm to be fixedly connected in the circular grooves of the module steering bracket, which strictly constrains the movement of the module swing arm to the movement of the circular shafts, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the triggering action, effectively isolating the movement or vibration interference in other directions, and making the triggering process of the module swing arm stable and reliable.

[0014] 3. In this invention, the slider of the module pressure block is installed in the slide rail of the module housing. When the bottom two contact points of the module swing arm or the bottom two contact points of the module steering bracket move downward, they contact and press the module pressure block, causing it to move downward along the slide rail. This ensures that the module pressure block can only slide along a predetermined straight trajectory when under force, preventing it from swaying, jamming, or generating unexpected friction with other components during movement. This improves the smoothness, accuracy, and durability of the entire transmission system.

[0015] 4. This invention utilizes modular silicone, where the silicone contacts have a spring-back force after compression. When the user releases their finger, the modular silicone contacts spring back and reset, pushing the connected modular pressure block upwards. Furthermore, the upwardly resetting modular pressure block pushes the module rocker arm's circular axis upwards to reset, thereby resetting the connected button. This ensures that the switch can stably return to its original position when there is no operation, preparing for the next operation, while also providing the user with a clear, neutral tactile feel.

[0016] 5. This invention forms the basic architecture of the switch by setting module silicone, PCB circuit board, module pressure block, module rocker arm, and module steering bracket inside the module housing, and setting a button adjustment structure on the top of the module rocker arm. This allows the button to trigger the module rocker arm by horizontal displacement, and the adjustment structure can precisely control the displacement of the module rocker arm. This is fundamentally different from traditional sliding contact switches and provides a structural basis for solving reliability problems such as contact wear and debris caused by repeated friction, which in turn leads to increased contact resistance, jamming, or short circuits.

[0017] 6. By using a modular housing, this invention achieves effective sealing of the internal moving parts area. Without interfering with the normal swing of the lever, it can effectively prevent external dust, liquids and other contaminants from entering the switch. At the same time, the use of modular silicone can also absorb some impact and vibration, which can protect the internal mechanism and reduce operating noise. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0022] One embodiment of the present invention provides a four-way module for adjusting a car seat, comprising a module housing 5, module silicone 4, module pressure block 2, PCB circuit board 6, module lever 1, adjustment button 7, and module steering bracket 3. The adjustment button can control the module switch to start by moving the lever in four directions, and can simultaneously adjust the fore-and-aft distance or angle of the seat cushion and backrest, making the seat adjustment more intelligent and user-friendly, avoiding the incoordination problems that may be caused by adjusting the seat cushion and backrest separately, and improving the overall user experience.

[0023] The adjustment mechanism is button 7. The bottom groove 8 of button 7 is fixedly connected to the top ball head 12 of module swing arm 1. Button 7 is set to the open state in all four horizontal directions, and can move horizontally in four directions. The displacement drives the module swing arm 1 for transmission adjustment. The round shafts 14 on both sides of module swing arm 1 are fixedly connected to the round grooves 11 of module steering bracket 3. When button 7 moves horizontally left and right, it drives module swing arm 1 to rotate around the round shafts 14, causing the contact points 13 at both ends of the bottom of module swing arm 1 to move up and down. When button 7 moves horizontally forward and backward, it drives module swing arm 1 to push the connected module steering bracket 3 to move up and down. The movement of module swing arm is strictly constrained to the movement of the round shafts, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the triggering action, effectively isolating the interference of movement or vibration in other directions, and making the triggering process of module swing arm stable and reliable.

[0024] The bottom two contact points 9 of the module swing arm 1 and the bottom two contact points 15 of the module steering bracket 3 are in contact with the module pressure block 2. The slider 10 of the module pressure block 2 is installed in the slide rail 16 of the module housing 5. When the bottom two contact points 9 of the module swing arm 1 or the bottom two contact points 15 of the module steering bracket 3 move downward, they contact and press the module pressure block 2 to make it move downward along the slide rail. The slide rail restricts the module pressure block 2 to move downward in a straight line, ensuring that the module pressure block 2 can only slide along a predetermined straight trajectory when under force, preventing it from swaying, jamming or generating unexpected friction with other parts during the movement, thereby improving the smoothness, accuracy and durability of the entire transmission system.

[0025] The bottom of the module pressure block 2 is connected to the module silicone 4 contact 9. When the module pressure block 2 moves downward, it contacts and presses the corresponding module silicone 4 contact 9, causing the contact 9 to compress and move downward. When it fully contacts the PCB circuit board 6 at the bottom of the module silicone 4, the circuit of the PCB board forms a closed loop, and the circuit is then turned on. The silicone contact 9 has a spring-back reset force after compression. When the user releases the force by releasing the force, the module silicone contact 9 springs back to its original position, pushing the connected module pressure block 2 to move upward back to its original position. Furthermore, the upward-moving module pressure block 2 pushes the circular axis of the module rocker arm 1 to move upward back to its original position, thereby driving the connected button 7 to reset. This ensures that the switch can stably return to its original position when there is no operation, preparing for the next operation, while providing the user with a clear neutral tactile feel.

[0026] In summary, when this invention is used, the up-and-down adjustment mechanism, the front-and-back adjustment mechanism, and their linkage adjustment mechanism can integrate all adjustment methods together, thereby avoiding the inconvenience caused by insufficient integration of multi-dimensional adjustment functions and making it easy to use.
