[0034] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] In the related technology, the switch needs to meet the requirements of passing various standard specifications of current. The switch needs to be exposed to the outdoors. At the same time, it needs to have high waterproof performance requirements to avoid current leakage and switch short circuit due to water entering the switch, and even cause damage to the switch, affecting the service life of the switch.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a waterproof switch 100, which includes a shell 110, a box body assembly 120 and a button assembly 130. While being able to realize the functions of the waterproof switch 100, it can reasonably utilize the internal structural space, facilitate installation, and realize the use of the waterproof switch 100.

[0038] Specifically, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 110 is provided with a first opening 111; the box body assembly 120 defines a cavity 123, and the cavity 123 is provided with a second opening 1231; the key assembly 130 includes a key housing 131 and a switch member 132, the switch member 132 is movably connected to the key housing 131, and a side of the switch member 132 away from the key housing 131 extends into the cavity 123 through the second opening 1231, the key housing 131 is arranged between the box body assembly 120 and the housing 110, and the key housing 131 is provided between the box body assembly 120 and the housing 110, and the key housing 131 is provided between the box body assembly 120 and the housing 110. 31 can close the first opening 111, and setting the button shell 131 can close the first opening 111 of the shell 110, which has a certain waterproof effect, will not hinder the normal use of the button assembly 130, and reduce the water flow outside the shell 110 entering through the gap between the first opening 111 and the button shell 131. The box body assembly 120 protects the button assembly 130. When water enters the inside of the shell 110, it will still be blocked by the box body assembly 120, avoiding the water flow directly entering the inside of the button assembly 130, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance of the waterproof switch 100.

[0039] It can be understood that the first opening 111 and the second opening 1231 are both located on the same side of the waterproof switch 100, but the first opening 111 and the second opening 1231 are not corresponding to each other. The first opening 111 corresponds to the button housing 131, and the second opening 1231 corresponds to the switch member 132. By way of example, the opening area of ​​the first opening 111 is S1, and the opening area of ​​the second opening 1231 is S2, satisfying: S1>S2, that is, water droplets entering the waterproof switch 100 through the first opening 111 cannot directly enter the second opening 1231, thereby playing a certain waterproof and protective role.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the box body assembly 120 includes a box body 121 and a cover body 122, and the box body 121 and the cover body 122 are connected. Accordingly, the box body 121 and the cover body 122 can define a cavity 123, and the switch member 132 is snapped into the second opening 1231. The button housing 131 is movably connected to the switch member 132, and the switch member 132 can be turned on / off by pressing the button housing 131.

[0041] It should be noted that the cover 122 can be made of bakelite, which is also known as phenolic plastic. Bakelite has high mechanical strength, good insulation, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and is often used in manufacturing electrical materials such as switches, lamp holders, headphones, telephone cases, instrument cases, etc.

[0042] In summary, the waterproof switch 100 improves the internal mounting structure and can be applied to vehicles. The button housing 131 is provided to close the first opening 111 of the shell 110 and has a certain waterproof effect. It will not hinder the normal use of the button assembly 130, and reduce the situation where water outside the shell 110 enters through the gap between the first opening 111 and the button housing 131. The box body assembly 120 protects the button assembly 130. When water enters the shell 110, it will still be hindered by the box body assembly 120, avoiding water from directly entering the button assembly 130, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance of the waterproof switch 100, meeting the requirements of large current switches and small current switches, and extending the service life of the waterproof switch 100.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides another waterproof switch 100 , which includes a housing 110 , a box assembly 120 and a button assembly 130 .

[0045] Specifically, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shell 110 is provided with a first opening 111; the box body assembly 120 defines a cavity 123, and the cavity 123 is provided with a second opening 1231, so as to reduce the situation where water outside the shell 110 enters through the gap between the first opening 111 and the button housing 131. The box body assembly 120 protects the button assembly 130, and when water enters the shell 110, it will still be blocked by the box body assembly 120.

[0046] Specifically, the button assembly 130 includes a button housing 131 and a switch member 132 . The switch member 132 is movably connected to the button housing 131 , and a side of the switch member 132 away from the button housing 131 extends into the cavity 123 through the second opening 1231 .

[0047] Specifically, the button shell 131 is arranged between the box body assembly 120 and the shell 110, and the button shell 131 can close the first opening 111. The button shell 131 can close the first opening 111 of the shell 110 and has a certain waterproof effect. It will not hinder the normal use of the button assembly 130, and prevent water from directly entering the interior of the button assembly 130, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance of the waterproof switch 100.

[0048] In one embodiment, specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the box assembly 120 includes a box body 121 and a cover body 122, the box body 121 and the cover body 122 are connected, and accordingly, the box body 121 and the cover body 122 can define a cavity 123, the switch member 132 is snapped into the second opening 1231, and the button housing 131 is movably connected to the switch member 132 to turn on / off the switch member 132 by pressing the button housing 131. Exemplarily, the box body 121 and the cover body 122 can be connected by a buckle structure, and the box body 121 and the cover body 122 can also be an interference connection.

[0049] Optionally, the cover body 122 is provided with a first groove 1221 near the first opening 111, and the box body 121 is inserted into the first groove 1221 and abuts against the cover body 122, that is, the box body 121 can be connected to the cover body 122 through the first groove 1221, and accordingly, there will be no gap between the box body 121 and the cover body 122 so that water can flow in, thereby having a better waterproof effect.

[0050] Optionally, a water-retaining boss 1222 is provided on one side of the cover body 122 close to the box body 121, and the switch member 132 is provided with a second groove 1321. The water-retaining boss 1222 is inserted into the second groove 1321 and abuts against the switch member 132. The clamping structure formed by the water-retaining boss 1222 and the second groove 1321 can improve the waterproof performance. When some water droplets enter the cavity 123 through the second opening 1231, the clamping structure formed by the water-retaining boss 1222 and the second groove 1321 is used to prevent water droplets from entering, thereby playing a role of waterproofing and water-blocking, and reducing the possibility of water entering the internal components of the switch member 132.

[0051] Furthermore, the water-retaining boss 1222 separates the side of the cover body 122 close to the box body 121 into a first surface 1223 and a second surface 1224, and the second surface 1224 is located at a position of the first surface 1223 away from the second opening 1231, that is, the first surface 1223 is the position where water enters through the second opening 1231, so that water droplets are blocked on the first surface 1223, and accordingly, the water-retaining boss 1222 can have a better water-isolating and waterproof effect on the second surface 1224, thereby preventing water from entering and causing a short circuit or even damage to the switch component 132.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 7As shown, the water retaining boss 1222 is arranged around the outer periphery of the second surface 1224. It can be understood that the water retaining boss 1222 can not only block water on one side of the water retaining boss 1222, but also the water retaining boss 1222 can drain the water to avoid the position of the switch member 132, and then discharge the water from the waterproof switch 100, thereby avoiding the situation where water droplets in the cavity 123 cannot be effectively discharged.

[0053] Optionally, the first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224 are arranged in parallel, and the first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224 are on different planes. The first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224 are arranged in parallel, and the first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224 are on different planes, that is, there may be a height difference between the first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224. The height difference between the first surface 1223 and the second surface 1224 and the water retaining boss 1222 can achieve better water retaining and waterproof effects, thereby improving the waterproof performance.

[0054] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the switch member 132 is provided with a first conductive member 1322, and the second surface 1224 is provided with a second conductive member 1225. When the key housing 131 is pressed, the first conductive member 1322 can abut against the second conductive member 1225. It can be understood that by pressing the key housing 131, when the first conductive member 1322 and the second conductive member 1225 abut, the waterproof switch 100 is in a powered on state; when the first conductive member 1322 and the second conductive member 1225 are separated, the waterproof switch 100 is in a powered off state, thereby controlling the opening / closing of the waterproof switch 100. Exemplarily, the second conductive member 1225 can be a moving contact piece.

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 6 As shown, a drain port 1232 is provided on one side of the cavity 123 away from the second opening 1231, and the drain port 1232 is used to guide the water in the second opening 1231 of the cavity 123 to be discharged under the action of its own weight, so as to avoid water accumulation in the cavity 123. The situation in which the accumulated water cannot be effectively discharged affects the product performance and service life of the waterproof switch 100. Exemplarily, the position of the drain port 1232 is at the lowest point of the cavity 123, so that the water flow is discharged from the cavity 123 under the action of its own weight.

[0056] Optionally, the button housing 131 is provided with a button identifier, which facilitates the driver to determine the pressing position, reduces finger fatigue, and realizes the on / off switch effect of the waterproof switch 100 .

[0057] In summary, the waterproof switch 100 improves the internal mounting structure and can be applied to vehicles. The button shell 131 is provided to close the first opening 111 of the shell 110 and has a certain waterproof effect, which will not hinder the normal use of the button assembly 130, and reduce the water flow outside the shell 110 entering through the gap between the first opening 111 and the button shell 131. The box body assembly 120 protects the button assembly 130. When water enters the shell 110, it will still be blocked by the box body assembly 120, avoiding the water flow directly entering the button assembly 130. The water retaining boss 1222 can have a better water-proof and waterproof effect on the second surface 1224. The water retaining boss 1222 can divert water to avoid the position of the switch component 132, avoiding water from entering and causing a short circuit in the switch component 132, resulting in false triggering or even damage, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance of the waterproof switch 100, thereby extending the service life of the waterproof switch 100.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] An embodiment of the utility model further provides a vehicle, which may be a fuel vehicle, a new energy vehicle, a power-assisted vehicle, etc., or any type of motorcycle, tricycle or four-wheel vehicle, including the waterproof switch 100 in embodiment 1 or embodiment 2. The waterproof switch 100 is applied to the vehicle. For example, the vehicle may be a motorcycle, and the waterproof switch 100 may be a start switch of the motorcycle or a light switch of the motorcycle. When the vehicle is in an outdoor environment, the waterproof switch 100 has better waterproof performance. The vehicle has all the beneficial effects of the waterproof switch 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting, and thus other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0061] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
