[0029] The steering switch assembly structure in this embodiment is as follows Figures 1 to 8As shown, it includes a front shell 1, a rear shell 2, a micro switch 3, a pendulum block 4, a grooved plate 5 and a shift block 6. The front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are matched to form a shell. The grooved plate 5 is fixed between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2. A V-shaped groove surface 50 is arranged on the upper part of the grooved plate 5. The pendulum block 4 can be swung left and right and is arranged between the rear shell 2 and the grooved plate 5. A first elastic positioning component is provided on the pendulum block 4. Three gear grooves 51 are arranged on the rear side of the grooved plate 5 on the rotation path of the first elastic positioning component. The pendulum block 4 can be positioned at the corresponding position by cooperating with the first elastic positioning component and the corresponding gear grooves 51. The shift block 6 is movably arranged above the grooved plate 5. A second elastic positioning component that contacts the V-shaped groove surface 50 is provided at the bottom of the shift block 6. The second elastic positioning component contacts the V-shaped groove surface 50 so that the shift block 6 always maintains a tendency to move to the initial position. The middle part of the pendulum block 4 is provided with a V-shaped bottom The transmission hole 41 of the shift block 6 is provided with a transmission block 61 extending into the transmission hole 41 and movable in the transmission hole 41 at the rear part of the shift block 6, and a touch block 62 is provided at the front part of the shift block 6. Three micro switches 3 are fixed on the inner side of the front shell 1 and are respectively located on the left, right and lower sides of the touch block 62. A dial handle 7 is connected to the shift block 6, and a button 8 is arranged at the outer end of the dial handle 7. In normal state, the shift block 6 is in the initial position and the second elastic positioning component abuts against the bottom of the V-shaped groove surface 50. When the shift block 6 is pushed to swing to the left or right from the initial position, the swing block 4 is driven to swing, and when the touch block 62 touches the micro switch 3 on one side, the first elastic positioning component cooperates with the corresponding side gear groove 51. When the shift block 6 is pressed downward, the touch block 62 touches the micro switch 3 on the lower side, and at the same time, the transmission block 61 pushes the swing block 4 to swing so that the first elastic positioning component cooperates with the gear groove 51 in the center.

[0030] The steering switch assembly in this embodiment is used to position the swing block 4 through the gear slot 51 and the first elastic positioning assembly, and the second elastic positioning assembly and the V-shaped groove surface 50 cooperate to keep the shift block 6 always rotating toward the initial position. In actual use, the steering switch assembly is connected to the vehicle turn signal control circuit. When the vehicle turns left or right, the button 8 is pushed to one side to drive the shift block 6 to swing through the handle 7 and the transmission block 61 pushes the swing block 4 to move the first elastic positioning assembly from the central gear slot 51 to the gear slot 51 on the corresponding side. At the same time, The pressure block 62 triggers the micro switch 3 on one side, thereby controlling the start of the turn signal. In this state, the transmission block 61 can move in the transmission hole 41, and the cooperation of the second elastic positioning component and the V-shaped groove surface makes the shift block 6 return to the initial position; when the vehicle is turned, the button 8 is pressed downward and the shift block 6 is driven downward by the handle 7. The transmission block 61 pushes the pendulum block 4 back to the first elastic positioning component and the central gear slot through the interference with the bottom side of the transmission hole 41. At the same time, the pressure block 62 triggers the micro switch 3 on the lower side, thereby controlling the turn signal to be turned off.

[0031] The present invention adopts a micro switch to replace the existing steering switch assembly in which the power contact is directly installed in the housing, thereby making assembly more convenient and avoiding the situation where the power contact is exposed and easily causes poor contact, further ensuring the conduction performance of the product. The micro switch in this embodiment is preferably a waterproof micro switch.

[0032] In order to enhance the strength of the dial handle 7, the dial handle 7 is preferably made of a metal stamping part. In order to accommodate the position of the button 8, in this embodiment, the portion of the dial handle 7 exposed outside the housing is a bent structure.

[0033] The first elastic positioning component includes a first mounting groove 42 arranged on the pendulum block 4, a first spring 43 and a first positioning member 44 arranged in the first mounting groove 42. Under the elastic force of the first spring 43, the first positioning member 44 is against the gear groove 51; more specifically, the first positioning member 65 can be a steel ball, a column structure with a hemispherical bottom, or a column structure with a conical bottom.

[0034] Furthermore, the second elastic positioning component includes a second mounting groove 63 arranged at the bottom of the shift block 6, a second spring 64 and a second positioning member 65 arranged in the second mounting groove 63. Under the action of the second spring 64, the second positioning member 65 is against the V-shaped groove surface 50; more specifically, the second positioning member 65 can be a steel ball, or a columnar structure with a hemispherical bottom, or a columnar structure with a conical bottom.

[0035] In order to quickly fix the grooved plate 5, the grooved plate 5 can be fixed to the front shell 1 by a snap-fitting method; or the grooved plate 5 can be fixed to the rear shell 2 by a snap-fitting method; of course, in actual operation, the grooved plate 5 can also be fixed by screws.

[0036] In order to facilitate the assembly of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2, the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are connected by snapping; in actual operation, screws can also be used to fix the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 together.

[0037] In this embodiment, the front shell 1 is integrally provided with a pivot shaft 10 arranged along the front-to-back direction, the shift block 6 and the shift handle 7 are provided with a waist-shaped hole 9 which is sleeved with the pivot shaft 10, and the waist-shaped hole 9 is arranged along the up-down direction, and the swing block 4 is provided with a round hole 45 which is sleeved with the pivot shaft 10. When the round hole 45 cooperates with the pivot shaft 10, the swing block 4 is limited so that it can only swing left and right, and the waist-shaped hole 9 cooperates with the pivot shaft 10, and in order to prevent the waist-shaped hole 9 and the round hole 45 from loosening with the pivot shaft 10, a stop structure is provided at the end of the pivot shaft 10 (the stop structure is set as an annular baffle and a screw, the screw fixes the annular baffle to the end of the pivot shaft 10, and the annular baffle is used for stopping and limiting), so that the shift block 6 can not only swing in the left and right direction, but also move in the up-down direction; as a variation, in actual operation, the pivot shaft 10 can also be integrally formed on the rear shell 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the quick installation of the micro switch 3, a positioning groove 11 for installing each micro switch 3 and an elastic buckle 12 for clamping the micro switch 3 are provided on the inner side of the front shell 1. When installing the micro switch 3, it is placed in the positioning groove 11 and the elastic buckle 12 clamps the micro switch 3, so that the micro switch 3 is effectively positioned in the positioning groove 11.

[0039] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
