Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a shift paddle switch in the form of multiple paddles. Background Art

[0002] Generally, vehicles are equipped with multiple function switches for activating various functional parts (including all convenient devices such as audio systems, air conditioning systems, etc.) for the convenience of users. In recent years, even vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions are equipped with so-called "sports modes" that enable drivers to feel the manual operation feeling like in vehicles equipped with manual transmissions and are commercialized. Vehicles that implement this sports mode are equipped with gear shift paddle switches that support manual operation of the automatic transmission. The gear shift paddle switch is mainly set on the back of the steering wheel of the vehicle. If this gear shift paddle switch is moved forward, the transmission changes to high gear, and if it is moved backward, the transmission changes to low gear. The gear shift paddle switch enables the driver to easily perform gear shifting operations while holding the steering wheel during driving.

[0003] Conventional paddle shift switches can only achieve a single function, namely gear switching. Currently, vehicles are equipped with more and more functions, and most of the functions need to be operated on the center console, which will greatly affect the driver's concentration and cause some functions not to be used well. In order to facilitate the driver to select functions, more function switches are set on the steering wheel. However, using these function switches will still change the driver's hand movements. How to conveniently control the newly added functions without affecting the driver's concentration is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0030] As shown in the figure, the utility model discloses a multi-paddle shift paddle switch, whose appearance is composed of an operating button 2 and a main body 1, wherein there are multiple operating buttons, which are arranged side by side, and each operating button 2 is independently arranged so that they do not interfere with each other and do not cause accidental touches. At the same time, the front end of the upper surface of the operating button 2 extends to form an operating portion 21, and the operating portion 21 partially extends to the outside of the main body. The driver only needs to gently operate the operating portion to achieve the corresponding function switching or operation.

[0031] The main body 1 is composed of an upper shell and a bottom cover, which are fixed to each other by means of snaps, and a receiving space 11 is formed between the two. The upper shell is provided with at least two independent through slots 12, and the two through slots 12 are respectively connected to the receiving space 11. A printed circuit board 5 is arranged in the receiving space, and the two through slots 12 are respectively placed above the receiving space and arranged side by side, so that the operation button 2 can controllably operate the printed circuit board 5 placed in the receiving space through the through slots 12.

[0032] At least two operating buttons 2. The present embodiment adopts two operating buttons, which are respectively hinged to the main body, and a protrusion 22 is formed at the lower part of the operating button 2, and both operating buttons 2 can be pressed individually; a hinged part 23 hinged to the main body 1 and at least one protrusion 22 are formed on the lower side of the operating button, wherein the hinged part 23 is arranged at an end away from the operating part, thereby reducing the force of operating the operating part and also reducing the pressing stroke.

[0033] The length of the protrusion 22 is set according to the type of the push switch, and after being pressed, the protrusion 22 can output a signal through the push switch.

[0034] The operation button 2 is provided at the back of the steering wheel within reach of the driver during driving so as to be rotated by a pulling action of a finger, etc. Specifically, when the driver presses the operation portion 21 exposed to the outside from the back of the steering wheel, the operation button rotates around the hinge portion, and when the pressing force is removed, the operation button returns to its original position.

[0035] At least two push switches 4 are disposed on the upper portion of the printed circuit board 5 and are respectively disposed in contact with the protrusions 22 of the corresponding operation buttons 2 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the conductive rubber is used as an example for description, but it is not limited to this. Any push switch can be used without specific restrictions. When the push switch adopts the conductive rubber, it is only necessary to set a corresponding conductive disk on the printed circuit board, and use the protrusion to press the conductive rubber so that the conductive disk is turned on, so as to transmit the on / off signal of the shift paddle switch to the circuit of the vehicle. Specifically, when the push switch is pressed by the protrusion, it can output an on signal to the signal line, and when the pressing by the protrusion is released, it can output an off signal to the signal line.

[0037] At the same time, the push switch is not limited to the conductive rubber form in this embodiment. It can be a switch form such as a micro switch directly welded and fixed on the printed circuit board 5. The protrusion 22 touches the action part of the switch to achieve switching between conduction and disconnection, thereby achieving different signal outputs.

[0038] A pressure rod 3 is provided between the push switch 4 and the protruding portion. The upper end of the pressure rod 3 is disposed in contact with the protruding portion, and the bottom of the pressure rod 3 is pressed on the upper side of the action portion of the push switch 4 .

[0039] By providing a pressure rod, the length of the protrusion can be reduced, thereby ensuring the strength of the protrusion and avoiding the phenomenon of excessively long protrusions breaking, which may lead to product failure.

[0040] At the same time, the design of the pressure rod 3 can also better transmit the action of the operating button to the push switch, thereby driving the action of the push switch.

[0041] A support frame 13 for limiting the maximum pressing stroke of the operation button 2 is provided in the through groove 12. The support frame partially fills the through groove and does not affect the normal pressing of the operation button. When the operation button is pressed into place, the two side walls of the operation button will be restricted from moving downward by the support frame, thereby limiting its maximum pressing stroke. In addition, a plurality of limit blocks 15 are provided on the front wall of the through groove, which cooperate with the support frame to limit the maximum stroke of the operation button, wherein the front end limit block also plays a role of supporting the front side wall of the operation button after being pressed, so that the operation button at the maximum pressing stroke can be supported circumferentially.

[0042] The support frame 13 is provided with a guide hole 14 adapted to the pressure rod 3. The pressure rod is in an inverted T shape, and passes through the guide hole to abut against the protrusion. The design of the guide hole 14 limits the movement direction of the pressure rod 3, so that it can only press the push switch in a direction perpendicular to the push switch, so that the force on the push switch is more uniform. When conductive rubber is used as the push switch, it can avoid driving the adjacent push portion 41. At the same time, the guide hole 14 can also limit the pressure rod to avoid position deviation between it and the push portion 41, thereby affecting normal operation.

[0043] The printed circuit board 5 is provided with at least two circuits, which are independently arranged. The conduction of any one of the circuits can output a corresponding signal, and each circuit is provided with at least one group of conductive plates 51. The push switch 4 is pressed to connect a group of conductive plates 51 in the corresponding circuit. If the conductive plate is circular, it is divided into two unconnected parts, and the conductor on the conductive rubber can connect the two unconnected parts when in contact with the conductive plate to achieve conduction.

[0044] The push switch 4 is a conductive rubber having a plurality of pressing portions 41, and each pressing portion 41 corresponds to a group of conductive plates 51 of a printed circuit board 5. The conductive rubber of an integrated design can ensure the consistency of precision between the pressing portions, so that the pressing stroke of each pressing portion can match the stroke of the operating button. At the same time, the pressing portions 41 are spaced apart from each other and do not affect each other, thereby ensuring that when any pressing portion is pressed, the adjacent pressing portion 41 will not be driven to move.

[0045] The embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present invention, but any improvements based on the spirit of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
