Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a five-way rocker long-stroke button structure of a steering wheel. Background Art

[0002] With the transformation of the automotive industry, new automotive interior designs have put forward increasingly sophisticated requirements for the feel, life, gaps, waterproofness and dustproofness of switches. The high requirements for switch products that occupy the steering wheel space highlight this trend. The traditional structure of such products needs to be gradually improved to meet the ever-increasing tastes of customers.

[0003] Most of the existing steering wheel buttons can realize five-way adjustment. The center button of this type of product is only suitable for short pressing strokes such as micro switches. If it is used for a long-stroke button structure, it will limit the overall thickness, appearance gap, etc., and cannot meet customers' requirements for small size and long stroke. If the existing structure uses a low-cost silicone keyboard solution, it cannot provide a stable low-shake guide sliding structure, resulting in the inability to meet high-specification feel and cycle life requirements.

[0004] For this type of five-way button, traditional solutions usually have two types of structures. One is to use a cross-internal and external universal shaft structure, and the internal and external shafts respectively realize the rotation of the X and Y axes in the horizontal direction, and refer to patent 202321992453.8. The other is a universal rotation structure using a spherical contact surface, and refer to patent 202320439987.1. Then, restriction structures are made on the X and Y axes in the horizontal direction so that the sphere can only rotate in these two directions. In order to realize the pressing function of the center, it is necessary to open a hole in the middle to add a shaft rod sliding component for pressing down, and the circuit triggers the use of a micro switch, while meeting the requirements of the feel; the traditional solution cannot meet the requirements due to many restrictions: 1 The requirement of customized feel makes it almost impossible to select the micro switch in the traditional switch, unless it is specially customized. 1. If micro switches cannot be used, considering the various requirements of automotive products, the optional low-cost solution is basically limited to the silicone keyboard solution. This solution has high requirements for the guidance of the pressing structure, which needs to be stable and low-shaking, otherwise it will affect the feel and service life. The traditional solution is limited by the small volume requirements of this design and cannot provide such a guiding structure; 2. The long-life specification requirements and feel requirements are interrelated, and both require an optimized guiding structure, which cannot be achieved with the traditional structure; 3. The large pressing surface requires that the rotation center of the key is as close to the surface as possible, otherwise it will cause the key to be displaced too much, and the feel and appearance cannot meet the requirements of refinement. The traditional spherical surface structure cannot meet this requirement, so only the cross-axis solution is used, but the traditional cross-axis solution cannot meet the above requirements.

[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content
