[0022] In existing vehicles, a suspended button assembly is usually provided, that is, one end of the button assembly is connected to the vehicle, and the other end is suspended. The button assembly includes a button body 10, a connector 20, and a light guide bar 30. The button body 10 is connected to its corresponding switch body through the connector 20. One end of the connector 20 is located in the vehicle and connected to the switch body, and the other end is connected to the button body 10. During use, the user drives the connector 20 by pressing the button, so that the connector 20 controls the switch body to be turned on or off.

[0023] The button body 10 is provided with a light-transmitting portion 11, and the connector 20 is provided with a light-transmitting port corresponding to the light-transmitting portion 11. The light guide bar 30 is located in the connector 20, and the light of the light guide bar 30 can be transmitted from the light-transmitting portion 11 through the light-transmitting port, so that the user can quickly find the button when the light is insufficient. There is a light leakage gap between the current connector 20 and the button body 10, and light will escape from the light leakage gap, resulting in light leakage, which makes the user experience poor. In order to avoid this phenomenon, during the installation of the connector 20, a rubber plug will be added to the light leakage gap to block the light. However, the rubber plug is small and not fixed, and it is not easy to install. At the same time, it is easy to damage other parts during the installation process, resulting in further light leakage.

[0024] Based on this, the present application provides a button assembly to solve the problem of light leakage in the button.

[0025] The following describes in detail the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments. A button component, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a button body 10, a connector 20 and a light guide bar 30, the button body 10 is sleeved on the connecting part of the connector 20, the button body 10 is provided with a light-transmitting part 11, the connector 20 is provided with a plug-in hole inside, the connecting part is provided with a light-transmitting opening, the light-transmitting opening and the plug-in hole are arranged through, and the light-transmitting opening is arranged toward the light-transmitting part 11; the light guide bar 30 is inserted into the plug-in hole and transmits light through the light-transmitting part 11;

[0026] There is a light leakage gap between the button body 10 and the connector 20 , and the connecting portion is connected to a light blocking wall 22 abutting against the button body 10 to block the light leakage gap.

[0027] Specifically, the button body 10 is a structure with an opening 13 at one end. The button body 10 plugs and matches the connecting part of the connector 20 through its opening 13, that is, a sleeve connection is formed between the button body 10 and the connecting part of the connector 20. The light guide bar 30 is plugged into the plug hole of the connector 20, and the light emitted is emitted through the light-transmitting port and is transmitted through the light-transmitting part 11 of the button body 10. In this process, since there is a gap in the connection between the button body 10 and the connector 20, the light transmitted through the light-transmitting port will be emitted from the opening 13 of the button body 10 through the gap, resulting in light leakage. The gap is the light leakage gap. The light-blocking wall 22 is located on the connecting part and abuts against the button body 10. Since the button body 10 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting part, the light-blocking wall 22 abuts against the inner wall of the button body 10 to block the light leakage gap.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the light-blocking wall 22 is provided on the connecting portion, and when the connector 20 and the button body 10 are installed, the light-blocking wall 22 can be brought into contact with the button body 10 to block the light leakage gap. There is no need to add a light-blocking member at the light leakage gap after the connector 20 is installed, which facilitates the installation of the button assembly and effectively prevents the light transmitted from the light-transmitting port from escaping from the opening 13 of the button body 10 through the light leakage gap, thereby preventing the button assembly from generating light leakage and improving the user experience.

[0029] In some embodiments, there is a light leakage gap between the button body 10 and the light-transmitting opening of the connecting part, and the light-blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the light-transmitting opening, or at the edge of the opening 13 of the button body 10, or between the edge of the light-transmitting opening and the edge of the opening 13 of the button body 10.

[0030] Specifically, since light is emitted from the light-transmitting opening of the connecting portion, the light-blocking wall 22 can be disposed between the light-transmitting opening and the opening 13 of the button body 10 . Therefore, the position of the light-blocking wall 22 can be flexibly set.

[0031] When the light-blocking wall 22 is arranged at the edge of the light-transmitting opening, the light-blocking wall 22 is arranged around the light-transmitting opening, that is, the light-blocking wall 22 is arranged at each edge of the light-transmitting opening, and the light-blocking wall 22 is arranged in a ring, and there is no gap between the light-blocking wall 22 corresponding to each edge and the light-blocking wall 22 of the adjacent edge. The light-blocking wall 22 is close to the inner wall of the button body 10 and abuts against the inner wall of the button body 10 on one side away from the light-transmitting opening to completely block the light leakage gap and avoid light leakage.

[0032] When the light-blocking wall 22 is arranged at the edge of the opening 13 of the button body 10 or between the edge of the light-transmitting opening and the edge of the opening 13 of the button body 10, the light-blocking wall 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion and is adapted to the size of the gap between the connecting portion and the button body 10 (when the light-blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the button assembly, the size of the light-blocking wall 22 is adapted to the size of the opening 13 between the button assembly and the connecting portion; when the light-blocking wall 22 is located between the edge of the opening 13 of the button assembly and the edge of the light-transmitting opening, the size of the light-blocking wall 22 is adapted to the size of the gap between the corresponding connecting portion position and the button assembly), so that the light-blocking wall 22 abuts against the inner wall of the button body 10, thereby blocking the gap between the button body 10 and a side of the connecting portion where the light-transmitting opening is provided, preventing light emitted from the light-transmitting opening from emitting from the opening 13 of the button body 10, thereby avoiding light crosstalk.

[0033] In this embodiment, the specific position of the light-blocking wall 22 on the connecting portion is limited, and the position of the light-blocking wall 22 can be flexibly controlled according to the manufacturing procedure or the ease of manufacturing, so as to achieve the technical effect of shielding the light leakage gap and avoiding the light leakage phenomenon, thereby improving the practicality of the button assembly.

[0034] In some embodiments, when the light blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the light transmission opening, the light blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the light transmission opening close to the opening 13 of the button body 10 .

[0035] Specifically, when the light-blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the light-transmitting opening, in order to block the light leakage gap and prevent light from escaping from the opening 13 of the button body 10, the light-blocking wall 22 is located at the edge of the light-transmitting opening close to the opening 13 of the button body 10, and the light-blocking wall 22 is longer than the edge of the light-transmitting opening close to the opening 13 of the button body 10, and abuts against the two side walls of the button body 10 to block the light passing through the light-transmitting opening and prevent it from escaping from the opening 13 of the button body 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, a configuration of the light-blocking wall 22 is specifically described, which further improves the configuration flexibility of the light-blocking wall 22 and further improves the practicality of the button assembly.

[0037] In some embodiments, the light shielding wall 22 and the connector 20 are integrally formed. This can prevent the light shielding wall 22 from falling off the connector 20 due to the increase in force applied by the button body 10 to the light shielding wall 22 as the button assembly is used, thereby causing light leakage, or even causing the light shielding wall 22 to fall onto the switch body connected to the button assembly, affecting the normal use of the button assembly. This makes the connection between the light shielding wall 22 and the connector 20 more stable, and is easy to produce, which is conducive to the promotion and use of the button assembly.

[0038] In some embodiments, at least two light-blocking walls 22 are provided, and the at least two light-blocking walls 22 are located between the edge of the light-transmitting opening and the edge of the opening 13 of the button body 10. Exemplarily, two light-blocking walls 22 are provided, and the two light-blocking walls 22 are arranged parallel to each other and both abut against the inner wall of the button body 10, that is, a double light-blocking effect is formed, further ensuring that the button assembly does not have light leakage.

[0039] In some embodiments, a rubber layer is provided on the edge where the light-blocking wall 22 abuts against the button body 10. When the connector 20 is installed on the button body 10, the rubber layer abuts against the inner wall of the button body 10 and slides to the installation position, which can reduce the friction between the light-blocking wall 22 and the button body 10, and can also buffer the abutting force applied by the light-blocking wall 22 to the button body 10 after installation, which is conducive to extending the service life of the button assembly.

[0040] In some embodiments, the rubber layer is a wavy rubber layer. When the connector 20 is installed on the button body 10, the rubber layer abuts against the inner wall of the button body 10 and slides to the installation position. The rubber layer is set as a wavy rubber layer so that its wave crest and wave bottom can be adaptively close to each other according to actual conditions, thereby making the rubber layer more closely abutted against the button body 10, further avoiding the occurrence of light channeling.

[0041] In some embodiments, a first buckle 23 is disposed on the side wall of the connecting portion, and a first slot 12 for engaging with the first buckle 23 is correspondingly disposed on the side wall of the button body 10 .

[0042] Specifically, the first card slot 12 is arranged close to the opening 13 of the button body 10. When the connecting part is located in the button body 10 and completes the socket connection with the button body 10, the first buckle 23 is located in the first card slot 12 to achieve snap-fitting, thereby fixing the connector 20 to the button body 10 and installing the connector 20 on the button body 10.

[0043] It should be noted that there are four first buckles 23 , two of which are disposed on both side walls of the connecting portion, and correspondingly, two of the first buckles 23 are disposed on both side walls of the button body 10 .

[0044] In some embodiments, a second buckle 31 is disposed on the top of the light guide bar 30 , and a second slot 24 that is engaged with the second buckle 31 is correspondingly disposed on the top of the connector 20 .

[0045] Specifically, when the light guide bar 30 is inserted into the insertion hole of the connector 20, the second buckle 31 is located in the second card slot 24 to achieve a snap-fit ​​fit, thereby fixing the light guide bar 30 to the connector 20 and installing the light guide bar 30 on the connector 20.

[0046] It should be noted that the assembly process of the button assembly is as follows: first, the button body 10 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting part of the connector 20, so that the connecting part enters the button body 10 through the opening 13 of the button body 10, and the first buckle 23 is snap-fitted with the first slot 12 to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 20 and the button body 10; secondly, the light guide bar 30 is plugged into the plug-in hole of the connector 20, so that the second buckle 31 and the second slot 24 are snap-fitted, thereby fixing the light guide bar 30 in the connector 20 and completing the assembly of the button assembly at the same time. The various components of the button assembly are fixedly connected in sequence, which is convenient for the assembly of the button assembly and the subsequent installation of the button assembly on other components, thereby facilitating the promotion and use of the button assembly.

[0047] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising a button assembly as described above.

[0048] It should be noted that any object including the button assembly provided in this application is within the protection scope of this application.
