For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0031] The handlebar switch structure in this embodiment is as follows Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, a housing 2 and a switch module 3; the mounting frame 1 is installed in the housing 2, and the housing 2 can be fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 by clamping or screws, and the switch module 3 is installed on the mounting frame 1; the mounting frame 1 is provided with a mounting plate portion 11, and the switch module 3 includes a circuit board 31 fixed on the mounting plate portion 11, a plurality of switch elements 32 arranged on the circuit board 31 and a button 33 for pressing each switch element 32, and the mounting plate portion 11 is provided with a limit guide column 12 protruding upward around the switch element 32, and the switch module 33 is provided with a limit guide column 12 protruding upwardly. An avoidance hole can be provided on the road plate 31 for the limiting guide column 12 to pass through; the button 33 is movably mounted on the limiting guide column 12, and the housing 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21 for the button 33 to extend out; when the handlebar switch is assembled, the circuit board 31 with multiple switch elements 32 is fixed on the mounting plate portion 11 of the mounting frame 1, and the button 33 is installed on the limiting guide column 12, and then the housing 2 is fixed to the mounting frame 1, and the outer end of the button 33 extends out from the mounting hole 21. The structure in this embodiment is optimized, which makes assembly more convenient and can improve production efficiency.

[0032] In this embodiment, the circuit board 31 is attached to the mounting plate portion 11 and fixed by fixing screws; in actual operation, the circuit board 31 can also be fixed to the mounting plate portion 11 by means of snap-fitting or gluing.

[0033] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the button 33 can be slidably inserted and arranged on the limiting guide column 12, and a stopper 330 is provided on the button 33 to limit the inner side of the shell 2. The stopper 330 is pressed against the shell 2 to limit the button 33, so as to prevent the button 33 from being separated from the shell 2. The structure is simple and feasible, and it is convenient to assemble. In the example shown in the accompanying drawings, a limiting slide 331 is provided on the button 33, and a plug-in table that plugs and cooperates with the limiting slide 331 is provided on the limiting guide column 12. The plug-in table cooperates with the limiting slide 331 to realize the sliding installation of the button 33 on the limiting guide column 12; in actual operation, the plug-in table and the limiting slide 331 can be interchangeably arranged.

[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, the button 33 is a hollow structure with a closed upper end and an open lower end. The switch element 32 is located inside the button 33. A touch-pressing portion 332 for pressing the switch element 32 is provided inside the button 33. When the button 33 is pressed downward, the touch-pressing portion 332 presses the switch element 32 to switch its state.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to increase the lighting indication effect, an LED lamp bead 34 is provided on the circuit board 31 at a position corresponding to the button 33, and a light-transmitting portion is provided on the upper surface of the button 33. When the LED lamp bead 34 is lit, light can be transmitted through the light-transmitting portion, thereby facilitating the driver to find the corresponding button 33 in a dark environment.

[0036] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the mounting frame 1 is composed of a first bracket 13 and a second bracket 14, and a fitting hole 15 is formed between the first bracket 13 and the second bracket 14. The housing 2 is provided with a bolt hole, and a positioning bolt 4 is arranged in the bolt hole. When installing the handle switch, after being sleeved with the handle tube on the vehicle through the fitting hole 15, the positioning bolt 4 can be screwed to cooperate with the screw hole on the handle tube to achieve locking, or the positioning bolt 4 is screwed to the housing 2, and the end of the positioning bolt 4 is screwed to extend into the positioning hole on the handle tube to achieve locking.

[0037] In some embodiments, one end of the first bracket 13 is connected to one end of the second bracket 14 via a clamping structure, and the other end of the first bracket 13 is fixed to the other end of the second bracket 14 via a locking screw 16, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first bracket 13 and the second bracket 14, and assembling is convenient.

[0038] Further, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamping structure includes two gussets 17 provided on the first bracket 13 and a clamping plate 18 provided on the second bracket 14. A clamping slot is formed between the two gussets 17. The clamping plate 18 extends into the clamping slot and clamps with the two gussets 17, thereby ensuring the reliability of clamping fixation. In the example shown in the accompanying drawings, a clamping hole is provided on each gusset 17, and clamping blocks are correspondingly provided on both sides of the clamping plate 18. After the clamping plate 18 extends into the clamping slot, the clamping hole cooperates with the clamping block to achieve a fixed connection.

[0039] Preferably, the switch element 32 adopts a chip switch, which can be fixed on the circuit board by welding. The chip switch can be but not limited to a micro switch or a touch switch. A rubber sleeve is provided on the outside of the switch element 32. The rubber sleeve can enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance of the switch element 32, thereby ensuring the performance of the product.

[0040] 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.
