[0034] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0035] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a handle housing of a vehicle combination switch, including an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2 and a clamping structure 3. The clamping structure 3 includes a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 32, wherein one end of the first clamping member 31 is connected to one of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, and the other end has a clamping hook 311, and one end of the second clamping member 32 is connected to the other of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, and the other end is provided with a clamping groove 321 for the clamping hook 311 to be inserted, and the clamping hook 311 is provided with a gap-eliminating platform 312 at its corner that can abut against the second clamping member 32.
[0037] It can be understood that the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are snap-connected through the cooperation of the hook 311 of the first snap-connector 31 and the slot 321 of the second snap-connector 32, and the gap-eliminating platform 312 arranged at the corner of the hook 311 can be abutted against the second snap-connector 32 when the hook 311 is inserted into the slot 321. For example, the shape of the gap-eliminating platform 312 is a raised structure arranged along the corner of the hook 311. Therefore, when there is a large gap between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 due to processing errors, the existence of the gap-eliminating platform 312 can maximize the absorption of actual tolerances and eliminate excess gaps, so that the hook 311 and the slot 321 maintain contact, thereby improving the abnormal noise caused by the misalignment between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and improving the user experience.
[0038] Optionally, the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 32 may be deformed to a certain extent, so that after the hook 311 is inserted into the slot 321, the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 32 are elastically deformed to make the fit between the hook 311 and the slot 321 more stable. In other words, when the hook 311 and the slot 321 fit together, the first clamping member 31 and / or the second clamping member 32 are deformed to a certain extent.
[0039] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 1 , the first clamping member 31 is connected to the upper shell 1, and the second clamping member 32 is connected to the lower shell 2. Alternatively, the first clamping member may be connected to the lower shell, and the second clamping member may be connected to the upper shell, or a part of the first clamping member may be connected to the upper shell, another part of the first clamping member may be connected to the lower shell, a part of the second clamping member may be connected to the upper shell, and another part of the second clamping member may be connected to the lower shell, that is, the upper shell is provided with the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and the lower shell is provided with the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and in this case, the above-mentioned clamping structure is provided with a plurality of members.
[0040] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first clamping member 31 is in an L-shaped structure as a whole, and the gap-eliminating platform 312 is provided at the corner of the L-shaped structure.
[0041] Specifically, the first clamping member 31 includes a first part and a second part which are perpendicular to each other, the first part is connected to one of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the first part and the first part together form the hook 311, and the gap-eliminating platform 312 is arranged at the corner formed by the first part and the second part.
[0042] In order to facilitate the cooperation between the hook 311 and the slot 321, a guiding slope is provided on the second part. When installing the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the upper shell 1 is pressed toward the lower shell 2. After the end of the second clip 32 contacts the guiding slope, the upper shell 1 continues to be pressed, and the second clip 32 slides along the guiding slope, causing the first clip 31 to be deformed until the hook 311 passes over the end of the second clip 32. The upper shell 1 continues to be pressed, and the hook slides along the second clip 32 until it is inserted into the slot 321.
[0043] Further, the first clip 31 and the second clip 32 are both provided in plurality, at least one first clip 31 is connected to the upper shell 1, and at least one second clip 32 is connected to the lower shell 2. In other words, the plurality of first clips 31 are all connected to the upper shell 1, the plurality of second clips 32 are all connected to the lower shell 2, or a part of the plurality of first clips 31 is connected to the upper shell 1, and another part is connected to the lower shell 2, and a part of the plurality of second clips 32 is connected to the lower shell 2, and another part is connected to the upper shell 1.
[0044] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 There are eight first clamping members 31 , and the eight first clamping members 31 are all connected to the upper housing 1 . Similarly, there are eight second clamping members 32 , and the eight second clamping members 32 are all connected to the lower housing 2 .
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper shell 1 is provided with a first stop protrusion 5 , and the lower shell 2 is provided with a second stop protrusion 6 for stopping the first stop protrusion 5 . When the first stop protrusion 5 abuts against the second stop protrusion 6 , the hook 311 is inserted into the slot 321 .
[0046] It can be understood that when the first stop protrusion 5 abuts against the second stop protrusion 6, the hook 311 is inserted into the slot 321 to achieve the snap-fit assembly of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. That is to say, the first stop protrusion 5 and the second stop protrusion 6 cooperate to prompt the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 to be installed in place.
[0047] Furthermore, a plurality of the first stop protrusions 5 and the second stop protrusions 6 are provided. By providing a plurality of first stop protrusions 5 and a plurality of second stop protrusions 6, and by reasonably arranging the positions of the first stop protrusions 5 on the upper shell 1 and the second stop protrusions 6 on the lower shell 2, when assembling the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the first stop protrusions 5 and the second stop protrusions 6 can be used to better judge whether the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are in place, which is conducive to improving the assembly effect of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.
[0048] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 There are two first stop protrusions 5 and two second stop protrusions 6 .
[0049] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are both semi-cylindrical structures, and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are buckled to form a cylindrical structure. The plurality of first stop protrusions 5 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the upper shell 1, and the plurality of second stop protrusions 6 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the lower shell 2.
[0050] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 The upper shell 1 is provided with two rows of first clamping members 31, and the first stop protrusion 5 is located between the two rows of first clamping members 31. The lower shell 2 is provided with two rows of second clamping members 32, and the second stop protrusion 6 is located between the two rows of second clamping members 32. Such a configuration is reasonable in arrangement, and when the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled, the first clamping member 31 is prevented from interfering with the first stop protrusion 5 and the second stop protrusion 6, and the second clamping member 32 is prevented from interfering with the first stop protrusion 5 and the second stop protrusion 6.
[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the end faces where the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are in contact are first step faces, and the end faces where the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1 are in contact are second step faces that match the first step faces.
[0052] By providing the first step surface and the second step surface, a structure similar to a labyrinth seal can be formed after the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled, which can play a role in dust prevention.
[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The end faces where the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 abut each other include a first face 11, a second face 12 and a third face 13 connected in sequence from the outside of the handle shell to the inside, the first face 11 and the third face 13 constitute a first step face, the end faces where the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1 abut each other include a fourth face, a fifth face and a sixth face connected in sequence from the outside of the handle shell to the inside, the fourth face and the sixth face constitute a second step face, the third face 13 can be fitted on the sixth face, a crushing rib 4 is provided between the first face 11 and the second face 12, and the lower shell 2 can be pressed against the crushing rib 4.
[0054] It can be understood that the third surface 13 cooperates with the sixth surface and fits together to achieve a seal between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 when they are assembled, and the setting of the compression rib 4 enables the lower shell 2 to press against the compression rib 4 when the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are assembled, causing the compression rib 4 to shrink, thereby eliminating the gap between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 caused by processing errors, so that the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 always maintain contact after assembly, thereby avoiding misalignment between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 and generating abnormal noise.
[0055] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first step surface is low outside and high inside, and the second step surface is high outside and low inside. Alternatively, the first step surface may be high outside and low inside, that is, from the outside of the handle shell to the inside, the third surface 13, the second surface 12 and the first surface 11 are arranged in sequence; and the second step surface is low outside and high inside, that is, from the outside of the handle shell to the inside, the sixth surface, the fifth surface and the fourth surface are arranged in sequence.
[0056] Optionally, in other embodiments, the end surfaces where the upper shell and the lower shell abut each other may include a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface connected in sequence from the outer side of the handle shell to the inner side, and the first surface and the third surface constitute a first step surface; the end surfaces where the lower shell and the upper shell abut each other may include a fourth surface, a fifth surface, and a sixth surface connected in sequence from the outer side of the handle shell to the inner side, and the fourth surface and the sixth surface constitute a second step surface; the first surface is attached to the fourth surface, and a compression rib is provided between the fifth surface and the sixth surface, and the upper shell can be pressed against the compression rib.
[0057] It can be understood that at this time, the first surface cooperates with the fourth surface, and fits together to achieve sealing between the upper shell and the lower shell when they are assembled. The setting of the compression rib can enable the upper shell to press against the compression rib when the upper shell and the lower shell are assembled, so that the compression rib shrinks, eliminating the gap between the upper shell and the lower shell caused by processing errors, so that the upper shell and the lower shell always maintain contact after assembly, thereby avoiding misalignment between the upper shell and the lower shell and generating abnormal noise.
[0058] Further, after the hook 311 is inserted into the slot 321 , the first surface 11 is parallel to the fourth surface, the third surface 13 is parallel to the sixth surface, and the second surface is parallel to the fifth surface.
[0059] Furthermore, the upper shell 1 is provided with two end surfaces abutting against the lower shell 2 , and the corresponding underground shell 2 is also provided with two end surfaces abutting against the upper shell 1 .
[0060] For example, in a specific implementation, referring to Figure 4 The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are both semi-cylindrical structures. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are buckled together to form a cylindrical structure, so that the upper shell 1 has two end surfaces abutting against the lower shell 2, and the lower shell 2 has two end surfaces abutting against the upper shell 1.
[0061] The embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle combination switch, including the handle housing of the vehicle combination switch. The vehicle combination switch has the technical effects of the embodiment of the handle housing of the vehicle combination switch, which will not be described in detail.
[0062] The embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, the vehicle comprising the above vehicle combination switch. The vehicle has the technical effects of the above vehicle combination switch handle housing embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
